It's a Man's World!

Hey out there!

She speaks! She is alive!

Ya know...life and stuff. And its summer. Too hot to blog much. But never fear...I am back and blogging. (I hope)

I did want to bring a very important matter to your attention. You want to know why I have Captain Crunch at the top of this post? Well I will tell you.

IT IS A CONSPIRACY!

Okay just listen to this list: Captain Crunch, Snap, Crackle, and Pop, King Vitamin, The crazy rabbit from Trix cereal, The leprecaun from that marshmallowy cereal, Tony the Tiger, Count Chocula, Franken berry, Toucan Sam...I forget which cereal he is from, and the list goes on!

Do you see what is going on here? There are no women icons for cereals! Don't give me garbage about now and then a woman is on the wheaties box. Okay...I am talking lasting icons here. They are all male. Find me a female icon for a classic cereal. I double dare ya. They do not exist.

What's up with this? Huh....huh? Yeah I dunno either.

While you are pondering the sexism inherent in children's breakfast cereals I will give you something else to think about.

As always I am writing tons.

Here are some links for whomever is interested:

1. On Health Central's Depression site I ask the question as to whether it is possible for depression to make one fall out of love.

2. Once in a blue moon I write something I am very proud of and this post on the MS site is one of those times. It just all came out of me and quite cathartic. I would be honored if any of you would come over to read it.

3. Let's talk about sex. Specifically...how illness can affect your sex life. Chime in with your experience right here.

4. Do you have a child who is hyperactive? Or maybe you are hyperactive yourself. Sensory Integration can help, I promise. Just follow this link to find out more.

5. You all know Dr. Deb right? Well she is just like one of the bestest bloggers out there who just happens to be a psychologist too. And she granted me an interview for the Friends of Quinn site. Please come check it out here.

I hope you all are having a magnificent summer thus far. Stay cool! Eat some Captain Crunch for me despite the sexist ramifications. At least the captain could have a girlfriend or something...sheesh!

My love of cheese

I do...I love me some cheese.

I love swiss, cheddar, and string mozzarella. But...just recently I have found THE cheese of cheeses. It is called Robusto Gouda and it is to die for...it has this nutty flavor which is intense...just a little bit of this stuff packs such a flavor...you will begin to crave it. Found it in a health food store in the cheese aisle where they had samples. Just one taste of this stuff and I was in love.

Cheese can be like that.

But some cheese is not cheese at all! I dare say there is cheese fraud going on out there! And I am here to warn you of it. I had never ordered a Pizza Hut stuffed crust pizza before. And so I finally caved in to seeing those commercials of hot melty cheese in the crust and...my family ordered one.

All I can say is "YUCK!" and...what is that stuff? It didn't taste like any cheese I have ever had. Instead of chewy...as mozarella cheese should be...it was the consistency of...glue.
I was very disappointed.

Have any cheese stories? I want to hear them but of course I do!
