Asparagus!
Mmmmm.....I've been on a fresh asparagus kick! Delicious!
I've heard it before and recently, got the great experience of that odd smell that affects your urine when eating it.
Decided to look it up and get smart. . .
An article from allDAY.
"Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. It is also found in onions, garlic, rotten eggs, and in the secretions of skunks," they wrote. "The signature smell occurs when this substance is broken down in your digestive system. Not all people have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan, so some of you can eat all the asparagus you want without stinking up the place. One study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that only 46 percent of British people tested produced the odor while 100 percent of French people tested did."

Facebook: reason for divorce?
I've heard that Facebook was the second reason for divorce last year. Ouch! Decided to do a little research and see if it was true.
A December 2010 article from DailyMail.com says one in five divorces involve the social networking site Facebook. A staggering 80 per cent of divorce lawyers have also reported a spike in the number of cases that use social media for evidence of cheating.
Facebook was by far the biggest offender, with 66 per cent of lawyers citing it as the primary source of evidence in a divorce case. MySpace followed with 15 per cent, Twitter at 5 per cent and other choices lumped together at 14 per cent.
'Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria recently split from her basketball player husband Tony Parker after alleging that he strayed with a woman he kept in touch with on Facebook.
I've seen couples have a combined account like "JoeandSueJones". Do you think that is silly or smart? Do you think couples should be able to have each others passwords to social network sites? If somebody contacted you and the conversation got flirty, would you tell your spouse about it?
I believe that if you don't get a hold of yourself and set regulations for technology use in your life, it's going to get out of control, both individual use and relationships.
Marriage counsellor Terry Real said he believes some users go on Facebook to create a fantasy life and escape the drudgery.
But he said Facebook is not really to blame.
‘Before it was email, then before that it was the phone. The problem is not Facebook, it is the loss of love in your marriage,’ he said.

That's a wrap! Ending Season 3, Aubrey's 1st season
She will go back for her second season (Modern Family's 4th season) in late summer/early autumn.
I'm so impressed with the whole cast and crew! The way they make things happen is unbelievable! And everybody is above and beyond with Ms. Aubs!
