Sex takes 3 to 13 minutes, study says
"There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually," Brandon said. "Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are."
*is amused*
Those radio commercials who encourage men to take whatever pills to make them last all night--I always have to laugh at them. Can we say friction burns?

Economy in the dumps? Not for GameStop
Shift for a second from the very real world of kids, homes, global conflict, and cars to the make-believe world of video games.
There, at least for some, the economy that is breeding so much concern and trepidation seems a distant factor.
Times are good, with double digit growth expected for sales of games this calendar year as well as for the hardware that's used to play those games.
That's probably partly because the economy stinks. People want escapism, and games provide it. Why worry about your mortgage when you can save the world?

Despite getting new glasses, my headaches have not abated. One. Bit. And considering that my next rheumy appointment is in a week, the fibro really should have moved on to some other annoying real estate. (Not kidding. I actually complimented my rheumy once on the timing of my appointments, since the fibro tends to find a new spot to crash in a couple weeks before each appointment.)
I'm pretty sure it's the fibro, too, because a) weather makes the headaches worse, and b) Tramadol--which doesn't seem to work on non-fibro pain--makes 'em go away. Temporarily.
On the plus side, though, when I had my eye doctor appointment, he said I had dry eyes (which he said was common for fibro people--yay for a doctor being up on his research!), and recommended getting eye drops. So I did, and when I manage to remember to use 'em morning and evening (and whenever my head hurts), the headaches shrink. Somewhat.
Will definitely be speaking to my rheumy about the headaches, and what to do (or who to see) about making them go away. Because daily headaches really suck.
Pilates at four-thirty this afternoon. That means I get a free lazy morning! Woohoo!
