5 Weird Mammals And What Makes Them Different From The Rest

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400

I’m taking a break from all that medicine-related mumbo-jumbo to talk about some weird stuff (again). I’m sure you all know what mammals are. Usually, members of a certain “class” of animals have things in common like egg-laying for birds or live birth for mammals. There are however some characteristics of some of the members that make them stand out. Here are some strange mammals and what makes them so. Sloths - Sloths have a flat head, big eyes, a short snout, and tiny ears. They also have long legs and a stubby tail. But what makes them different from other mammals? Most mammals have seven cervical vertebrae. Two-toes sloths only have six and three-toes sloths have nine. What also makes them weird is their physical capabilities and behavior in general. Sloths can only move one and a half meter every 5 minutes. How slow is that? Also, they spend most of their lives hanging on a branch sleeping for 15-18 hours (although later studies say that they only sleep for around 10 or so hours). They go down only once a week to urinate and other “calls of nature”. **End Summary** Topics: mammals]]> platypus]]> weird]]> whale]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Click here for Web Site I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

How to Use your Hand for your Man's Pleasure

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Most of the times we always rely on our hands to do the job, so why not use it to give our man pleasure. I have collected some techniques on how we could actually hike a man's mojo by simply touching him. Here are some the techniques you can use. • Dig that Chest Nothing more excites a man than a slow circling of your hand in his fine chest, mostly with a new manicured nails. What you can do is to circle you hand tracing his pecs. Spiral your nails towards the nipples then gently pinch it using your thumb and forefinger. • Tug the Pubic Hair Begin by pulling some hair in his pubic using both hands gently. Between your middle and index finger give him a few tugs like grooming his hair. This move will interest him the most since the nerves of the penis runs through the groin area making him more aroused as you tug. • Ear Stimulator Wet your middle finger using your saliva and slowly trace the outer part of his ear lobe. While you're there give him a gentle pinch while giving it a sexy tug. **End Summary** Topics: relationship]]> love]]> sex]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

Things you should have known a Day before Getting Hitched

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400

Be an expert this very second to have a happy marriage. We can see married people getting divorce right and left, and that's a bit scary for those who haven't tied the knot just yet. Here are some tips or some skills that can help you keep your marriage on the go. • Limit yourself from always putting your partner first Yes we do know getting married means we have to make sacrifices for one another. But do we really know to what point? Do we have to give up our dreams and desires just to satisfy the need of another? Getting married really does not remove your individuality. Once in a while put your desires first, like me, after I got married, I got busy attending to my husband's needs and forgot about my needs. I became colder and angrier towards my husband for no reason at all. Then I realized, I was getting mad because I forgot who I am and what I want. So I grabbed my bag and book a flight to Italy. I've been longing to go there since I was a teenager, and so I did. **End Summary** Topics: Marriage]]> travel]]> relationship]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

Okay, so you’ve got that amazing trip to the Cotton House, that lovely leopard-print one-piece (or that delightful coral-print number) and the gold-and-bronze accessories that come with it — but your skin’s as pale as a sunbeam-challenged creature of the night. (This is in no way a dis on the vampire industry; it’s just that a majority of people who steer clear from the sun tend to be paler) There are tons of ways to get that lovely bronzed goddess tan, but most of them involve getting baked in the sun / tanning salon, or getting one of those expensive tan sprays.

Plus, most of them are easily washed off, you know, so you won’t stand out at the latest vampire union meeting. Here’s a review of some of the top self-tanners for that healthy bronzed goodness! Remember, before going ga-ga over these products, look over the labels if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients, plus, if you’re not too sure about the desired effect, apply a small amount (lest you want to be a ganguro girl ; **End Summary** Topics: Fashion]]> make up]]> beauty]]> skin]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

There are some diseases that we never really knew where it started or where it came from. It just mysteriously appears. I have made a list of mysterious disease that even medicine sometimes couldn't explain. • Morgellons Disease A very mysterious skin disorder has cropped up again just recently. It is said to have a creepy-crawly feeling on the skin and has an odd multi-colored fibrous filaments protruding from an open wound. It can sometimes be blamed as psychotic delusions but some medical communities say the symptoms are very real. Canada, Australia, UK, and the Netherlands are said to be affected by the disease. But majority of the reported cases came from Florida, California, and Texas. • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome The classic MUPS or medically unexplained physical symptoms, it is the feeling of more than just being tired. Most patients often get bed-ridden for days. This disease is debilitating and can't be resolved by bed rest. It can even persist for years, the cause has never been identified yet and no specific diagnostic procedures are available. • Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease A rare brain disorder, also known as the Mad-Cow Disease, is contracted from eating an infected beef. **End Summary** Topics: disease]]> mysterious]]> health]]> travel]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Most of us love to travel a lot without knowing what the consequences might be. We are not very aware of certain diseases that we can pick up from different countries that we travel to. So what are traveler's diseases anyway? These are diseases that we contract when traveling away from home, most especially when we travel from a highly developed country to a less developed one. These diseases can be acquired by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, from animal droppings, from soil, close encounter with infected animals, and if bitten by vectors like mosquitoes, flies, and ticks. Some can even be derived from walking and swimming on the beach barefooted. Simple things that we ignore can actually be the cause of a dreadful disease. Let me give you some of the most popular diseases that we can contract while on a travel, and I will be giving pointers on how to prevent from getting these diseases. • African Sleeping Sickness As the name implies, this disease can be contracted from the Eastern and Central Africa.

Secrets to Winning an Auction

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0500

I always join online bidding but I never get to win anything at all. So I was wondering maybe there is a technique in doing this. Then I decided to research on how to win an auction. It's where I learned that there are a lot ways to win one. Let me share the new knowledge I gained so far. So here it goes. â€¢ First you've got to know the auctions Before you even start bidding, the first thing to do is to attend as many auctions as you can and observe how things go. Check and compare the quoted price to the actual price of the item. And always add at least 10 percent to the quoted price. Most especially if the item is rare and not sold in other markets. â€¢ Then, get set to buy Before the bidding or the auctions starts, make sure you organize your finance first. Make sure that your solicitor checks the sale contract. Check the condition of the item you are about to buy. Make a research on the place or the item that you are willing to spend money on, check if it's all worth buying. **End Summary** Topics: auction]]> luxury]]> bidding]]> travel]]> vacation]]> shopping]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.

But I specially have places that I enjoy visiting. I would like to share some of the places that I think you would enjoy during your stay in Barbados. â€¢ Golden Sands Beach It is what they call the Temptation Island. Youâ€'ll enjoy the fresh easy breeze while getting yourself tanned. Unwind and relax in the peaceful Caribbean Ocean. Golden Sands Beach is near the Oistins harbor where wind-surfers hang-out. It is also a place where people can dream of going back to Barbados after their departure. There are hotel accommodations nearby as well, the Sea Gaze Apartment and the Golden Sands Hotel. Sea Gaze Apartment is truly a relaxing place to stay since it is located forty feet from the sea.

How to Prepare for a Trip

Almost everyone loves to go to a travelâ€ or have a vacation once in a while. But sometimes we do forget that traveling needs preparation and we get caught up with a last minute travel preps. So I have enumerated some of the pointers that you can try in preparation for a great vacation. â€¢ First, make sure that you have enough time to plan for the vacation you wanted. â€¢ If you want to travel outside of your country, be sure that your passport is ready and not expired. Like some countries, they require a renewal of passport 3 months before it expires. Or sometimes you go on a trip, and you didnâ€'t check the expiration date of your passport and you didnâ€'t know that your passport is going to expire while you are outside of your country. â€¢ Think of the place you wanted to go, and if you have decided where, then check the internet for tourist spots in that certain country. Research on the place so you wouldnâ€'t get lost and it would be easier for you to check out the cool places they have. **End Summary** Topics: last minute travel]]> prepare for trip]]> travel]]> travel bus]]> vacation]]> vacation package]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> I am a 32 year old gal who enjoys traveling a lot, may it be for pleasure or for work.
