Here are some questionable suggestions:-bike to work: sounds good, but I live 25 miles from where I work, so that's not happening.
-get paid for good health: how does one make this happen?
-get a new toothbrush: shouldn't you be doing this pretty frequently already?
-move to Vermont: really? it's that simple? just move to Vermont?
-start using twitter: f#@&% twitter!
-celebrate the life of Miles Davis: not a fan
OK, admittedly I didn't click on all the links. I know I'm being a bit caustic here, but overall that list seems sort of random and useless. To me, anyway.
That's the way life comes at you, Shelly, random and useless. This reminds me of Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."
-start using twitter: f#@&% twitter!Heh. That made me laugh. I'm not doing twitter, either.
I just got me a new toothbrush. Vermont - ain't gonna happen.
I can go with the naps and I could even read up on Edgar Allen Poe again.
I'm already trying to teach my daughter to cook :)
Not gonna try to mow 12 acres with a push mower. NO WAY! Oh wait, that's hubby job :)
I think I'll go do a crossword puzzle.
Caio!

Blech.
It's a sad commentary on the state of mind of many people these days -- like nothing is real unless you tell someone else about it.

I think people need to be comfortable with being isolated at least part of the time in order to maintain sanity. Or something.
"Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?"http://twitter.com/
It's like only having the status update feature on facebook.
From your lips to God's ear .... (I agree with you.)
I avoid microwaving food in plastic because of the chemicals leaching into the food (and I melted a bowl once heating up macaroni and cheese), but I still have some plastic tupperware.I change my toothbrush regularly, since I got a ten-pack at Costco, and I just made an appointment to get my eyes checked on the 12th. I really need new glasses, since I've mysteriously scratched mine all to heck.
I already do crossword puzzles, I took a year of Russian in college and got my fill, GoodReads is kind of journal-like for me already without keeping a paper journal.
"Help those hit by the recession". I have been meaning to give money to the Salvation Army, so I guess I'd better go do that this weekend.
I take vitamins, too. It makes my life very dull to talk about, Sarah.
I like vitamins. I miss them when I don't take them. I take a multivitamin and a special vitamin C one.That would be my most recent Twitter post:
"RA took his vitamins."
But you're not that dull, Jacks. That gives me a thread idea...
No, I personally am not dull (it helps that I'm a good listener), but stories about my life are not that exciting. No, I never almost died, no, I don't know anyone famous, in fact I don't go out much...
No, I don't even have drunken shenanigans to talk about...
I floss every day, okay?! I'm that kind of person.
You sound just like me, Jackie, except the "dull" part.
Come sit next to me, Cyril, and we can make fun of all the cool kids. :)

What do you think? You can hit the smaller links on the main page to get more information the specifics. This one, about publishing a book on your own, is interesting:

This one says you should throw out all your plastic food containers and store food in glass. I have to admit this one threw me off. I wouldn't even know where to buy the plastic equivalent of tupperware, and I imagine it's expensive:

Some of the other ones make sense. I like the "teach your kids how to cook" and "take an afternoon nap" ones. What do you think?
