Feed Your Head continued...




These sites are dedicated to your noggin. The main focus being the left and right brains and the miracle of the connection between the two....which makes you, you!



Which way is the dancer moving for you? No tipping please.




My right brain cried, my left brain named it.




This is more fun than arguing with your husband. Invisi-Gal scored over into the male brain,
this explains the need for my control over the remote!

Links to happiness!


No dear readers, not weblinks, GOLF links....18 little moments of Zen.


Spring is truly here, and I can prove it, because my whole family set out to play golf yesterday and had more fun than a barrel of uncles.


I birdied a particular hole that has been my nemesis for a long time and it set the world right.


The great thing was, my husband and son were my captives as we traversed the course. We had the long lost conversations of the last week, we laughed all the laughs we were too busy yesterday to laugh, and we cheered and jeered each other on through a very muddy round of Spring golf.


Lovely.

Ursa Macarena...


Okay, for years we have wondered. "Does a bear sh-t in the woods?"...I'm pretty darn sure they do, but...... do they dance?

Nothing Boring about this....


Mr. and Mrs. Boring of Franklin Park, a suburb of Pittsburgh, are suing Google Inc. because their house was pictured on Google Street View.



Welcome to 2008 Mr. and Mrs. Boring (interesting name)...do you own a cell phone with a camera on it? I hope you get legal releases everytime you take a picture that isn't on your very private land.

Also, very public lawsuits are contrary to very private lifestyles.


No one would ever have known about this if you had let it pass quietly. Chances are no one would ever cared, we are too busy watching the finals of American Idol.
Note: Your private home is listed on the very public Allegheny Real Estate web site just like Invisi-Gal, ooops my bad, Invisi-Gal's house listing shows the wrong house.


Hmmmm....how much are you suing Google for?

Chair Mogul


So dear readers, I have instructed you on what to do with grandma's old furs, now here's what you do with your old skis, or basically any sports equipment laying around.


If you are a sports nut, you know how you can run through gear like Paris Hilton in a purse store, so now here is a way to sidestep the guilt you feel about it.




Note: From a truly snotty angle, turn your speakers down and skip the music and commentary on the website, it distracts from the shopping experience.

Idle as can be....


Yes, a major guilty pleasure of mine is watching American Idol...
Brooke and Jason, time for you two to go home, you have been fortunate and, in some uncanny way, able to make it thus far. Count your supernatural blessings and let go.

I am way too involved with Idol, I know.

Maybe it's because I am having withdrawals from the ending of season 1 of In Treatment...which by the way is one of the best written shows to come on down the cable channel pike in a long while.


Little fun things (insider alert or you won't understand what the heck I'm talking about):

I thought Sophie's dad looked familiar to me, (Invisi-Gal is proudly hyper-vigilant) I waited for the credits and sure enough, it was Peter Horton of Thirtysomething vintage...he played Gary the non committal bike rider....even funnier was, that Melanie Mayron directed the episode....who's Melanie you ask?

She's also from Thirtysomething, played Steadman's slightly annoying one earring wearing sister Melissa, who coincedently (and we know there are none)had a pink thing for Gary.


I swear, if season 2 of In Treatment ends up with cameos from Eliot and Hope I'll die of 80's flashback shoulder pad syndrome.


But I greatly digress, all this started with American Idol.


I think the greatest slap in the A.I. face will be when Christy Lee Cook gets a big fat recording contract before anyone else does.


You heard it here first...

House party


In Allegheny county we have a real estate web site where they post your house, it's market and assessed value, and also a picture.


The wreck you see above is what they posted as Invisi-Gal's house.

Silly, of course it's not really MY house, it's the crack house down the road...love the upside down crack boat in the front yard!


My husband wants to call the county and have them put the correct picture up, I argue the point that we should keep that picture on the site, I like the sympathy it generates.
....

Sprung...


Spring is here and I am so excited!

I am a self avowed "Porch Potato"... I love to sit on the porch and watch the birds and as Eckhart Tolle says, be present.

I know every bird that shows up each year at the feeder.

In the past, I took great pride in the fact, that between Daisy the boxer, and myself, we managed to run off those pesky squirrels.

However, this year, that has changed.

April Fool!



Here are my top 2 favorites for news Fools:




Surgeon to Make Sarkozy Five Inches Taller — http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article983556.ece
The London Sun, the most entertaining newspaper in the English language, reports that Israeli researcher "Ura Schmuck" plans to use "Stature Augmentation Treatment" to stretch out notably wee French President Nicolas Sarkozy so that he will be taller than his Italian supermodel wife Carla Bruni. French government spokesman "Luc Biggér" said the difficult process would be carried out at the "the Poisson D'Avril Medical Centre in Geneva."


and as my ultra favorite:


BURGER KING INTRODUCES LEFT-HANDED WHOPPERS
Burger King UK today announced the launch of its latest salvo in the battle of the Burger Wars - the new left-handed Whopper - which will become available nation-wide tomorrow April 1.
The UK's most preferred hamburger will still consist of lettuce, onions, pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup and four-ounce flame-grilled hamburger patty, but the sandwich has been re-designed to fit more comfortably in the left hand. This will result in fewer condiment 'spills' for left-handed hamburger lovers.
The new Left-Handed Whopper will have all the condiments rotated 180 degrees, thereby redistributing the weight of the sandwich so that the bulk of them skew to the left.
"We have always been proud of the fact that we offered 1,024 ways to order our flagship Whopper sandwich, now we are offering 1,025 ways! It's the ultimate 'Have It Your Way' for our left-handed customers," says Lorraine Thomson, Marketing Director for Burger King UK.
The Left Handed Club estimates that nearly 11 million left-handed customers visit Burger King restaurants in the UK each year. Lauren Milsom from the Club comments: "We are delighted that Burger King has recognised the difficulties of holding a hamburger in your left hand that has a natural right bias to it. We urge all left handed hamburger lovers to visit their nearest Burger King and taste the difference for themselves."
Initially, the Left-Handed Whopper will only be available in the UK, however Burger King is considering plans to roll it out to other countries with large left handed populations.
Notes to Editors:
Burger King UK and its franchisees operate 527 restaurants around the country and more than 10,000 restaurants in 53 countries and international territories around the world. In fiscal year 1998, Burger King had system-wide sales of $10.3 billion. Burger King UK is a subsidiary of Diageo plc, one of the world's leading branded consumer products businesses.

And while we're on the subject...


Daryl Hannah , Phyllis Major Browne



Joni

Wow ,there is a similiar thing about these women, all beautiful, all talented.
These are the lyrics to the Joni Mitchell song, Not To Blame



She wrote this song in response to the news of the "alleged" beating Darryl Hannah received from Jackson Browne.

Keep in mind, nothing was ever substantiated, but as women, we understand how much of this goes on never being substantiated...unfortunately.

Okay, Invisi-Gal most move on from this subject.


It's not about going into the dark places, it's about bringing the dark places into the light.

Running on Empathy...


What am I supposed to do with this information?




Years ago , I was a big Jackson Browne fan , but allegations of abuse and the suicide of his first wife made me wonder about him.


You know the guy, he likes to woo beautiful women and then destroy them.


I'm not saying that's what HE is, but if it quacks like a duck....
