Things Karen Walker has implied: She was involved in the Patty Hearst kidnapping. She’s done jello shots with John Oates of Hall & Oates She’s almost 200 years old. She once hired Picasso to paint a portrait of her, but fired him because he painted her breasts on the same side of her body. She was alive during the Great Depression. She made some sort of pact with the Devil in order to live forever. She had an affair with Martina Navratilova in the 1980s, who claimed to be straight before she met Karen. She was Ronald Reagan’s mistress. She’s Asian. She was on Dynasty. She believes that if you hit a gay man in the head with an object, he’ll say “Eh, all in a day.” That the words “Hola, seƱor” in Spanish translate to “Do you know Elton John?” and “You look like a big, mincing queen”. When she was a boy, she used to work at a supermarket. She claims to receive money every now and then from Linda Hussein (Saddam’s wife) after Karen won a bet over who had the worst husband. She’s in a gang and is a fan of Gangsta rap and Aerosmith. She smoked pot with Debbie Harry. She and Candice Bergen set up Martha Stewart to go to prison. She believes the homeless are actually a cult, like the Moonies. She believes that “one of the most exotic essences on the planet” is milk. She had intimate relationships with Steven Tyler, Jon Voight and Goldie Hawn. All of them ended up favoring their daughters (Liv Tyler, Angelina Jolie and Kate Hudson, respectively) over Karen, which she implies is the reason why those relationships ended. PEACE! ~PEEKaBOO~

The first few (246) seconds I am at work I hate everyone. every.single.one.of.them. Especially when it seems they have waited for me to arrive to start the endless chatter. ~PEEKaBOO~
~The inventor of the Pringles can had his ashes buried inside one of the tall tubes~
Fredric J. Baur of Cincinnati, OH was so proud of his invention that he requested for his remains to be encased inside of it after he died! During his life, he served as an organic chemist and food technician at Procter & Gamble. In 1966, Baur filed for a patent for the tall, skinny can and the novel method of stacking the curved chips inside. The patent was granted four years later, and he was able to retire in the early ‘80s knowing that he had invented something really cool. Baur passed away in May 2008 at the age of 89, and his children fulfilled his request - his ashes were split between a pair of urns and a Pringles can in his grave! (source)

These are certainly worth a try, but it’s probably too much of a good thing. If you are interested in the recipe, here you go.

NatGeo says:Cats communicate using at least 16 known “cat words.”Wikipedia says:
Adult cats do not normally meow to each other, and so the meowing to human beings that domesticated cats exhibit is likely partly an extension of the use of this plaintive signal. When communicating with human beings, adult cats express variations of this tone to demand food or attention, register complaints, and convey bewilderment. An alteration in tone, pace, or punctuation changes the meaning, however slight.
While cats occasionally vocalize to one another with purrs, growls, and screeches, they generally communicate with one another through body language. When preparing to fight an adversary or to frighten one away, cats can emit long, articulated meows. Most vocalizations recognized as “meow” are specifically for human interaction.Cats also lick each other and people (e.g. their owners). Cats lick each other to groom one other and to bond (this grooming is usually done between cats that know each other very well). They will also sometimes lick people for similar reasons. These reasons include wanting to “groom” people and to show them care and affection.
Touching noses is a friendly greeting for cats, while a lowered head is a sign of submission. Some cats will rub their faces along their guardian’s cheek, hands, or ankles as a friendly greeting or sign of affection. This action is also sometimes a way of “marking their territory”, leaving a scent from the scent glands located in the cat’s cheeks. More commonly, cats do something called a “head bonk”, or “bunting”, where they literally bump someone with the front part of their heads to express affection

Wrap rage, also called package rage, is the common name for heightened levels of anger and frustration resulting from the inability to open hard-to-remove packaging, particularly plastic blister packs and clamshells. Consumers suffer thousands of injuries per year, such as cut fingers and sprained wrists, from tools used to open packages and from the packaging itself. Some companies have come up with solutions to improve frustrating and potentially dangerous packaging.
According to a British study, over 60,000 people receive hospital treatment each year due to injuries from opening food packaging. The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated that attempts to open packaging caused about 6,500 emergency room visits in the U.S. in 2004.A 2009 study conducted by the Institute for Good Medicine found that 17 percent of adults over the age of 21 were either injured at least once or know of someone who was injured while opening a holiday or birthday gift.
Companies are increasingly streamlining their products’ packaging to reduce wrap rage. Forces driving the efforts to improve packaging include pressure from consumers and retailers such as Wal-Mart for more eco-friendly packaging, and baby boomers who find it increasingly difficult to open packaging as they age.
