Chocolate Linked to Lower Blood Pressure

Chocolate Linked to Lower Blood Pressure - Yahoo! News

Yay! : D

Add this to the good news about chocolate I posted here a while back.

It's the cocoa beans - but, consider, also, that the mere act of eating chocolate makes one so relaxed and happy that one's BP has got to go down.

10 Wearable Spring Fashion Trends

10 Wearable Spring Fashion Trends

I'm feeling positive about the new Spring clothes...

= Dresses, including empire-waist, shirtwaist (OIOW, even comfortable dresses)

= blue and coral colors

(BTW, actually the perfect palette for the expansion of my California ocean/beach merch...)

= shorts

A Spring trend I personally don't care for are the bows. In the past I've had enough lame bows on my body and in my hair to last a lifetime. Remember the bow clips in the hair, for one example? Often placed dead center in the front above the bangs? Not really a good look...IMHO.

Calif. Woman, 62, Gives Birth to Baby Boy

Calif. Woman, 62, Gives Birth to Baby Boy - Yahoo! News

Why? is my first reaction.

However, I'm glad that great-grandma and baby are doing fine.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess? Whatever turns you on? Glad it's not me, though.

Calcium, also putting the stick to Teflon

Study Shows Limited Benefits From Calcium - Yahoo! News

First there was that confusing low-fat study (I have to go back and read all that more carefully.), then the not-surprising news that however-useful Teflon is bad for you (didn't we figure that out a long time ago?), now this.

Upshot is - keep taking your calcium, anyway.

And, I don't plan on buying any new Teflon...

Doing a lot of work on the store...

...and will be doing much more. This store is overdue for attention, poor orphan thing that it is. CafePress gave me this (a reward for moving a lot of "Groovy Grandma") when I was too busy with clients and my other stores to do this store justice. I wasn't going to not take advantage of the free six months' store fees... Anyway, this is a new year, and this store is now getting the attention it deserves. Anyway...

Check out the new "Sales & Features" with some samples of "Groovy Grandma" and "Phat Granny." Of course, I'll rotating features in and out of this new "Sales & Features" section.

There's now a huge Sudoku section, filled with sub-sections. Loads of Sudoku wears and wares.

And, check out "For Grandma"... This is not your mother's "For Grandma" section.

See "Phat Granny" and "Groovy Grandma"...

I was rewarded by CafePress for both these graphics. "Groovy Grandma" got me the first six months of this store for free!

So Much Sudoku/Valentine's Day


Hope you have a nice Valentine's Day.

As to the "so much Sudoku", I created eight new Sudoku graphics the other day. I've been "processing" them and have started to make some of them available. Look for more later this week.

To see the Sudoku.

Just one example shown at the left. This is the Junior Ringer Tee in green with the Blue Sudoku graphic.
