Would you take an anger management class?

It seems like everyone is angry about something nowadays, and I just can't relate. Sure some things do bother me or get under my skin, but few things actually make me angry. A few years ago I was required to take an anger management class, which I personally thought was the dumbest thing ever. Anger management sounded like something for violent, aggressive, angry people. The first day I probably rolled my eyes more than once or twice because I didn't want to be there. By the end of the course, I was singing its praises, and I felt like everyone should be required to take at least one anger management course. The things I learned about myself and the ways I learned to handle many emotions have stayed with me, and I've been able to pass these tips along to my friends and family when they need it. If offered, would you take an anger management class?

Do you always finish your antimicrobials?

So I cam across this article today about a new strain of drug resistant Malaria in Africa.

I always finish my medications, so this is a shock to me. . .so lets hear it now that we are anonymous, how many of you don't finish all your antibiotics or antivirals?

Is eating fish even healthy anymore?

I know that fish a great source of protein compared with beef and pork. It has less fat, is high in essential fatty acids like Omega 3 and 6, and contains brain building DHA and DHEA. Plus it is amazingly delicious.

But, I have been to the beach, I have seen where those guys live. . .and it is filthy. The oceans are covered in plastic debris, and these break down and enter the food web and are concentrated in predatory fishes. This is in addition to all the mercury that we know if in this fish, and why pregnant women are warned against eating to much. Add on top of this all the parasites in fish and the chemicals and antibiotics used in fish farms, and I am wondering just how good of an idea eating fish really is. . .
