Be weary of intersections....
.... even when you have the green light, since there may be a giant white 80's Caprice Classic flying through the very same intersection against a/their red light.
this in turn may/will cause your asshole to pucker tighter than someone with a really tiny asshole, while you yell fruitlessly.
and as the car passes, a dumb-struck 'oh-shit' look grows on the drivers face.
you may even see this car again just a few blocks later. and against your better judgement, decide to chase them down and let them know how much of an incredibly fucking stupid, reckless, piece of shit they are.
the nice thing though, is that the beer in your fridge will taste just that much better.
be safe out their people

HFF-13
In summary, to quote a bearded nun:
"1) Patty should quit her job along with all other endeavors that don't involve carmel making.
2) Never bet a food service worker that she can not identify what a costume is that has to do with food.
3) Never try to pop a wheelie at 2:02 am at the corner of 2nd and 2nd on the day the clocks reset, because your chain will snap and you will have to scooter yourself home.
4) People are incredibly reluctant to accept baked goods from nuns with a five o'clock shadow, particularly if said nun is trying to give away 700 cookies, because that is just way too many damn cookies.
5) People are not, however, reluctant to exclaim the various sexual acts they have always dreamed of performing on a nun.
6) When you can't find your gloves check your pockets first.
7) Unless they are made with pot or mushrooms 700 cookies are just too damn many cookies.
8) You can NOT steer a tandem from the rear seat, even if you can turn the handle bar. Actually, turning the handle bars makes things worse.
9) When walking up and down muddy creek beds in the dark, take baby steps in case it is slippery or let Clay go ahead of you so you can tell the slick spots based on where he falls down.
10) Anything more the 700 cookies is just way too many damn cookies.
Those of you that were in attendance likely learned these lesson's with me or in some cases because of me. Hopefully, those of you that missed out can learn from my mistakes. I'm already working on an alternative to cookies for next year so far jello shots and homemade burritos is the lead contender. So we may finnally find out if there truely is always room for jello. I should mention the 11th lesson I learned from our own Stevie Bergman was that I have some pretty horrible ideas. "

Depression link to processed food
Eating a diet high in processed food increases the risk of depression, research suggests.
What is more, people who ate plenty of vegetables, fruit and fish actually had a lower risk of depression, the University College London team found.
Data on diet among 3,500 middle-aged civil servants was compared with depression five years later, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported.
The team said the study was the first to look at the UK diet and depression.
“ The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated fats and sugars ”

They split the participants into two types of diet - those who ate a diet largely based on whole foods, which includes lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, and those who ate a mainly processed food diet, such as sweetened desserts, fried food, processed meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products.
After accounting for factors such as gender, age, education, physical activity, smoking habits and chronic diseases, they found a significant difference in future depression risk with the different diets.
Those who ate the most whole foods had a 26% lower risk of future depression than those who at the least whole foods.
By contrast people with a diet high in processed food had a 58% higher risk of depression than those who ate very few processed foods.
Mediterranean diet
Although the researchers cannot totally rule out the possibility that people with depression may eat a less healthy diet they believe it is unlikely to be the reason for the findings because there was no association with diet and previous diagnosis of depression.
Study author Dr Archana Singh-Manoux pointed out there is a chance the finding could be explained by a lifestyle factor they had not accounted for.
"There was a paper showing a Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression but the problem with that is if you live in Britain the likelihood of you eating a Mediterranean diet is not very high.
"So we wanted to look at bit differently at the link between diet and mental health."
It is not yet clear why some foods may protect against or increase the risk of depression but scientists think there may be a link with inflammation as with conditions such as heart disease.
Dr Andrew McCulloch, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said: "This study adds to an existing body of solid research that shows the strong links between what we eat and our mental health.
"Major studies like this are crucial because they hold the key to us better understanding mental illness."
He added people's diets were becoming increasingly unhealthy.
"The UK population is consuming less nutritious, fresh produce and more saturated fats and sugars.
"We are particularly concerned about those who cannot access fresh produce easily or live in areas where there are a high number of fast food restaurants and takeaways."
Margaret Edwards, head of strategy at the mental health charity SANE, said: "Physical and mental health are closely related, so we should not be too surprised by these results, but we hope there will be further research which may help us to understand more fully the relationship between diet and mental health."
