IT SNOWED AGAIN LAST NIGHT
Well although we didn't get but about an inch of snow thats to much for me, I am sick of snow and they are calling for more on Monday. I checked out the cameras around the OBX this morning and it looks like they just got a dusting of snow, we got more than they did thats for sure. The CH boys basketball team lost Hopewell last night, the boys team will finish out there regular season today at Meadowbrook. Rain washed out yesterdays Nascar truck last night, the will run the Nationwide race this afternoon and the truck tonight Daytona. The Daytona 500 is tomorrow and I feel like there is going to be an upset winner tomorrow. In college basketball action today Virginia will travel over to Backsburg to face Virginia Teach and VCU will be at James Madison. MICKEY
Lethal Lightbulbs
How it happens: You replace your incandescent lightbulbs with more-energy-efficient compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL). But when these eco-friendly beacons break, they release mercury gas, a neurotoxin that attacks the nervous system and can cause chronic kidney problems.
The fix: Hold the bulbs by the plastic base, not the glass, when inserting and unscrewing them. Put spent bulbs into the original boxes or in double plastic bags before recycling. No excuses: Ikea stores offer free drop-off.
It may reduce your risk of coronary death
People who eat nuts or peanuts four times a week may lower their risk of dying of coronary heart disease by 37 percent, compared with people who seldom or never eat nuts, according to a review in the British Journal of Nutrition. Eating peanut butter may lower bad LDL cholesterol while maintaining good HDL cholesterol, the authors say.
Anyone too busy to say thank you will get fewer and fewer chances to say it.
