Demented World - by Thoraiya Dyer

 
When did we start living in a demented world? When did it become possible to advertise a product that "brings health and life to your hair" when, in fact, hair consists of dead skin cells and lifeless keratin? How can something that HAS no life be healthy or unhealthy? When did it become possible to advertise that Echinacea is good for colds and flu, when The New England Journal of Medicine (Vol 353: 341-348, July 2005) in an article by R.B. Turner et al, it was concluded that the happy little plant has absolutely no effect at all? I'm ready to begin my crusade. Welcome to Demented World

Top 10 Greatest Concerns of Pregnant Women:

November 9th 2006 20:12
According to Vicky Iovine (author of Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy), when women get pregnant, they worry a thousand-fold about things they don't usually care about when they're not. If you're pregnant, do these worries lurk in your head? If you're not pregnant, do you realize how weird these worries are?

10. Will my breasts stay this big forever? (Please, God!)
9. Will I feel this sick and tired for the entire nine months?
8. Will my husband ever really understand what I'm going through?
7. Will it hurt to deliver the baby?
6. How badly will it hurt to deliver the baby?

5. Will it hurt more than a bikini wax? Less than a broken leg?
4. Will I get all ugly and fat?
3. Will everything "down there" shrink back to normal after the baby is born?
2. Will I be a good mother?
1. Will the baby be okay?

It occured to me that if Mother Mary is truly blessed, she could've been rid of these worries and had been bestowed the pleasure of holy sex instead. But of course, I'm being blasphemous, so please accept my apologies.

I think that author has never been pregnant and that she made up that list. None of those "worries" even crossed my mind, except for number one, but I still worry that my kid will be okay. I'm told we worry about them even after they're old enough to have families of their own.

But I love reading top ten lists for some reason, so thanks for posting it!
