Tongue Twisters

A Collection of Tongue Twisters from my Tongue Twisting Collection.

Some Tongue Twisters I ritualistically inordinately, extravagantly appreciate -

1. I need not your needles, they're needless to me;

For kneading of noodles, 'twere needless, you see;

But did my neat knickers but need to be kneed,

I then should have need of your needles indeed.

2. A tree toad loved a she-toad

Who lived up in a tree.

He was a two-toed tree toad

But a three-toed toad was she.

The two-toed tree toad tried to win

The three-toed she-toad's heart,

For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground

That the three-toed tree toad trod.

But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.

The State Where You Live: How Healthy Is It?

A while back, I asked you where you all lived, and it was so fun to see such a diverse group of readers--from my hometown of Seattle to across the globe in Italy. But, for you readers in the U.S., a new list of healthy states has been released. Want to know how healthful your home state is?

****

According to the American Public Health Association and the Partnership for Prevention, Vermont is the healthiest state in America, followed by Hawaii, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Utah, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Idaho and Maine. The unhealthiest state? Louisiana.

The Shoes-Off Vs. Shoes-On Debate Rages On: Which Is Healthier for Your Home?

Shoes! They're so controversial! Some people shudder at the thought of tracking in dirt and germs into their home and have no-shoes policies, others hate the idea of taking their shoes off in their home or others (for a variety of reasons). What side are you on? Here's the latest news on this touchy subject--just in time for holiday parties ...

We've talked about this subject before, and it really fired you guys up. For good reason. The debate is a heated one. Let's take a look at what both sides are saying, courtesy of a fascinating article written by a friend of mine, Diane Mapes, over at MSNBC.com:

The Photo I'm Completely Haunted By (Help Me Solve This Health Mystery From 1947)

If you got an STD in 1947, your mugshot may have ended up on a wall of shame--well, in some places of the world. Yeah, this practice completely disregarded patient privacy and was 100% sexist (you guessed it: no walls of shame for men). You have to check out a photo of a woman on one of these walls of shame that is absolutely haunting me (mystery lovers, help me solve this!), and new warnings from health experts about a rise in syphilis cases...

Check out this photo from 1947, which appears to be in Germany. The vintage shot shows a military guy perusing the "VD Hall of Fame" bulletin board (presumably to screen future sexual partners), where photos of women who've tested positive for venereal diseases, namely syphilis, are displayed mug-shot style. The women are holding signs with their names and addresses, which I guess was supposed to frighten men away from having sex with them.

The Mysterious Vitamin You May Not Be Getting Enough Of

According to Esther Kim a dietician and blogger for Diet.com, even if you take a multivitamin, it may not pack enough K. See what she had to say.

"Most multivitamins do not include or provide adequate amounts of Vitamin K in their formulation," she says, "so make sure to check and switch to a different brand or supplement with additional vitamin K."

Common Health Problems with Old Cats

Health issues with older cats will appear just like they do for us when we become old. They usually have a number of potential problems when they’re older. The age when a cat starts to have problems is around 9 years old. Around that age, the cat’s body will start to deteriorate slowly, and their mental and physical abilities are affected as well.

The rate at which the cats have problems varies considerably, and some will stay healthy for longer periods of time after they become old. What you should do as a cat owner, is work on prevention and boost their immunity while they’re still healthy. This can help them a lot in their final years.

Common Causes of Depression

Get Ready – Your Body Would Like A Word With You

But what happens when it’s your body delivering the “time to face facts” news flash? What do you do when it’s sending you the message – loud and clear – “My friend, you are about to lose your good situation if things don’t change, pronto.”

Often, this “ultimatum meeting” shows up in the form of an unexpected illness, a health scare, an injury or that “oh no” moment when you suddenly realize you’re in deep kimchi.
