> Popcorn, already known to be a good source of fiber, has higher levels of healthy antioxidants than some fruits and vegetables, according to new research. "Based on fiber, whole grains, and antioxidant levels, popcorn is the king of snack foods," says Joe Vinson, PhD, professor of chemistry at the University of Scranton.
Of course, "some fruits and vegetables" may just mean "eggplant and potatoes", so you may have to take the healthiness of popcorn with a grain of salt. bah-dum-dum

Have to make sure the kids fit.
We looked at a Hyundai, a Toyota and a Mazda. Did not yet purchase. It's hard to go from no car payment to looking at the sticker prices.

Bringing a four year old on a test drive. I love my siblings. Did you stop for some ice cream sandwiches during the test?

halfway through the test drive I hear Nico say,"don't you need your seatbelt." and the sales guy was like,"well, I guess you're right, I do."
I love our kids.
Happy Birthday Kamden!
Ooh already following daddy's lead?
TAOD: I liked the video clip--I had just made similar comments about "The Iron Lady". The media would have never portrayed a man in the same light. Can you imagine a film about Ronald Reagan that concentrates primarily on his last years with alzheimers. People would have come unglued.

Mom, it looks like municipal aggregation passed in MP, but it didn't pass here in Normal. We'll have to compare electricity bills next year.

So proud of my daughter. She got up and spoke her mind tonight at the viewing and discussion of "Miss Representation" with the university president, director & producer of the film, executive director of the MT arts council, an emeritus professor, and the MT student regent.
that's a standing order. some scratch-offs and a fountaindew would be nice too.

Dear Matthew,
I was wondering if you would like to place an order for a Hot and Ready for 4/5/12 as I will be driving through the town of Lincoln, IL approximately 11:30pm that night on my way to Mt.Pulaski, IL.
Please place any order no later than 10pm on 4/5/12 as I will be driving and not reading texts after that time.
Regards,
Veronica Ohler
