Don't Go Breaking Your....

It's hard to imagine a worse Christmas activity than a family trip to the emergency room because you hurt yourself.  A new survey of people over 45 by the American Osteopathic Association came up with this list of the top six ways people get hurt around Christmas.  So be careful with all of these . . .


#1.)  Slipping and falling on ice.

#2.)  Shoveling snow.

#3.)  Participating in winter sports.

#4.)  Shopping.

#5.)  Accidents traveling.

#6.)  Wrapping presents.  Yes, 7% of people said they've suffered some kind of physical pain in the past from wrapping presents.

The survey also found that 45% of women and 39% of men who hurt themselves during the holidays will try to ignore the pain until after Christmas.

World's Worst iPod: Torn Between Two Lovers by Mary MacGregor
Today's song was written by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was inspired by the 1957 novel Doctor Zhivago. No one was inspired by the song this morning. It was rejected by almost all the listeners.
Kitty used to be a Goth--almost
Today is World Goth Day, a day to celebrate the post-punk, anti-establishment, dark clothes-wearing subculture. I'm pretty sure I was a Goth for at least for little while, for two reasons. 1) I almost hardly ever wear pastels. 2) I used to...

World's Worst iPod: Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc
