A Quick Suggestion Regarding Supplements

I take vitamins.  I fancy myself to be athletic.  Here's a quick tip for you supplement-munching neophytes:

If you're going to take a fish oil gel tab and "dry swallow" it (which, I know is a bad habit, but I do it anyway), be sure you toss that puppy to the back of your throat.  If you didn't know, "dry swallowing" a tablet is doing so without the benefit of chasing it with a liquid.  I neglected to do that this morning....and saliva dissolves those gel tabs fast.  ...I feel like I just swallowed a dead fish......

Personally though, I think his next job will be as Gaddafi's PR man.  

Hot Mess?  I think Charlie Sheen just changed the definition of the word. Lindsey who? 

 

Finally, there was a story in the local news yesterday about a Houston police officer that was on a cooking team for the Houston Rodeo BBQ cook off that actually threw a tear gas bomb into the tent of the competition.  Welcome to Texas, folks.  We take our barbecue cook offs THAT seriously.....

...and the secret ingredient is......
