Facebook results in bad grades ??? COME ON !

What a STUPID way to announce the results of a study... As if the students are all robots that have no free will.... Television results in bad grades, music results in bad grades, extra-curricular activities result in bad grades, friends result in bad grades... darn it !!! I just can't even begin to get my head around the fact that this stuff is actually being published with THIS angle everywhere... Some articles actually suggest that access to Facebook should be restricted for college students. GEEEEESH. They're not kindergarden children ! We're talking about young adults here. While you're at it, take away their TV's, their phones, their IPods and lock them up in their rooms with books. Come on. If they haven't learned to balance work & play by college - something else is wrong. Not Facebook.

Pain in the neck

We all know the expression.
She's such a pain in the neck.
Doing housework is a pain in the neck.
I understand it so much more now. For the past few months, I've been suffering from chronic neck pain. Stiffness and a constant dull pain radiating from the back of my neck down to my shoulder blade. Very hard to live with. It's almost as bad as back pain which I know well because I suffered severe back pain for many years after having children.
