7 | § ¶Why band-aids have color?
--
Have you seen black, brown, or yellow band-aids?
I haven't. I haven't seen white band-aids either.
I recently cut my finger while cooking (minor cut). Naturally, after
yelling and cleaning it, I placed a regular adhesive bandage on it.
4 6 | § ¶Bangor Latte?
--
--"Is this the line to board the plane to Bangor?" -- a lady asks.
--"No, this is the coffee line." -- a gentleman on the line answers.
That's the conversation I overheard this morning while waiting half an
hour for coffee. This is one of those times I get remembered
about two things:
1) Our airport design is so silly.
2) Starbucks (SBUX) is such a great company.
5 5 | § ¶Atkins Diet
--
I do not like the whole idea behind the Atkins
diet - eat proteins and fats only with a very few carbohydrates.
Why? I do not like fad diets that restricts what I can eat and what I
can't: too difficult to follow, and not too fun. Most importantly,
I do believe that if you do not eat carbohydrates, unless you are very careful,
you end up eating cholesterol, saturated fat, and other harmful
substances. You also have to be very careful if you want to eat dietary
fiber, and have a healthy natural intake of vitamins when you can't eat
carbohydrates.
However, as much as I hate the Atkins diet, and as much as I will avoid falling
into a fad diet ever, I must confess I am impressed with the good effects it has had
in America.
