I know, I usually write about silly stuff or link to weird and unusual and interesting stuff. Today, it’s time for a detour to the tough stuff. Drug rehab and just to make things interesting, cord blood too. Dealing with a family member who may need to be in drug rehab is tough, thank goodness the internet has advanced to the point where information and support are readily available.

Not me, that’s for sure. And not Jacqueline either! Spend some time at Rebel1in8 and if you ever come across any other anti-pink ribbon sites or campaigns, could you drop me a line or leave me a comment and let me know.

Have you seen the Good Mood Diet? or the Good Mood Diet Blog?
I know, the last thing we need is another diet. Particularly one that sounds as gimmicky as this one does. (Is gimmicky a real word?) I like bits of it but I’m completely turned off by the “1 week to erasing depression” thing. In one week you can erase depression? Give me a break.
Yes eating some foods can help you feel better. Yes, losing weight will probably also help you feel better. But 1 week to erasing depression is pushing it. A lot. Bad tag line, really bad. So don’t buy the book, ok?
So how much weight have you gained so far this month? I don’t do scales so I can’t answer that question but I know I’ve gained. For me, gaining isn’t a problem; I tend to be underweight. But I know I’m in the minority and a lot of you have been struggling with your weight, particularly this month. The best advice on this blog is quit cutting calories so darn much! Every time you drop your calories below 1200, you’re screwing with metabolism and that’s just going to mess you up in the end. Healthy choices, portion control and PATIENCE, lots and lots of PATIENCE, that’s the solution to the weight loss problem.
Have you ever thought about personal training? Check out the No Excuses Gym blog. I love the post about germ-free gym workouts and the 20 Ways to Squeeze Exercise Into Your Life list is good.
I don’t usually recommend diet and exercise websites or blogs but in this case, I’ll make an exception. There’s nothing fad-like on this blog, there’s no questionable advice and no “lose weight fast” schemes. Good solid information, that’s it. That’s what a personal trainer should give you. I didn’t say it was easy advice to follow, wouldn’t it be nice if it was?

A friend of TW’s is on the Planned Parenthood board and she got an awesome Christmas Gift. Safe Sax. I love the tote bags, the cosmetic bags not so much - they should be rainbow, too. If you purchase, part of the proceeds go to the Cascade Aids Project.

Have you ever searched the web for health information? Of course you have, everyone has - some of you just won’t admit it. Next time you’re in need of health info, try the Healia search enging. The options for sorting results are fantastic. All search engines should offer these types of sorting possiblities.

If you search for something red, TheFind will donate $1 to Doctors Without Borders. What are you waiting for, go search for red stuff! Oh man, I just found a red bohemian hippie that I do not need but I want, really badly. The Find is dangerous. I’m done shopping, I really am! Ack! A goth green skull! OK while you are searching red, go look at this Etsy shop!

Oh no, there was a chipwreck! Thank goodness folks are “chipping in” (hahaha) to help with the clean up! I’ve spent a lot of time on beaches but never had anything that interesting wash up on shore. Maybe some salsa will wash up next week?

In my oh so humble opinion, there is no such thing as a great food gift. There are some “ok” food gifts and a lot of truly horrible food gifts but no GREAT food gifts. But my opinion on this topic isn’t worth much because I have food issues.
Since I recognize my food issues are just that - my issues - I’ve learned to trust the advice of some important foodie people in my life. One of those people is Elaine Magee, the Recipe Doctor. Elaine is going to be sharing 12 great food gift ideas in a blog series, 12 Days of Christmas.
I can trust Elaine to give good food advice - and you can trust her too.
