I’ve always thought that the knowledge gathered over years of schooling, professional development and personal growth classes fills my toolbox with valuable tools I can use throughout my life.
Once every five years or so, we get a new television. Sometimes it's because we actually need one – like that summer when a lightning strike electrocuted several of our appliances. But most of the time, it's because Tom starts reading about the incredible picture quality on the newest TV screens, and he just can't stand it anymore. He needs to see it for himself.
Few sounds in winter are more unwelcome than that of a pitchfork scraping the hay loft floor.
Adipose cells (aka fat cells) do they ever go away? Do we need them? The answer is NO, they do not ever go away. The only way to get rid of fat cells is liposuction. But they can shrink with diet and exercise. And YES, we do need a regulated amount of adipose cells. Fat cells, or adipocytes, are like balloons that store energy. When you have a surplus of calories, these cells expand in number and size. Adipose tissue increases in middle age and decreases when people get old according to some studies.
I heard on the news some schools are banning cell phones.
The reason it is called "common" cold is, because as their name implies, they're widespread. Adults catch two to three colds a year, while young children come down with four or more colds per year. I have first hand experience with a common cold this week. Sneezing, coughing and a runny nose. Thankfully I did not have a headache, fever or sore throat that can also go along with this irritating virus. Usually I will get a cold twice a year, spring and fall. Lucky me, I am an overachiever this year.
