Wha? Some actually wish to be have an amputation
I’m always endlessly amused by the wack-job psychosis that humans can sometimes develop. Acrotomophilia – the desire to be an amputee – has to be one of the weirdest ones out there. These individuals strongly believe they were destined to be an amputee, and won’t feel complete/whole until an amputation of one of their limbs (usually a leg, beneath the knee) takes place.

Bizarre facts about having a spinal cord injury
Everyone knows what a spinal cord is (pictured left, courtesy of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis), and a lot of people can even correctly say (especially nowdays, thanks to Christopher Reeve and stem cell research) what a spinal cord injury is. But the bizarre add-ons – the wacky things that happen to your body when your spinal cord is decommissioned – do you even want to know? If you’re the kind of person who thrives on the bizarre, or if you’re you aiming to get on Jeopardy, then this blog is for you… Click here to read this rest. – Tiff

Tinted Lip Balms
I’m constantly getting bored with my makeup routine. The latest makeup product I’ve decided to mix it up with is lipstick. Instead of blah blah boring lipstick (and lately I’ve been feeling it looks like you’re trying to hard when you wear it anyways), I’ve been experimenting with tinted lip balms. I love these! They’re good for your lips, they give you the perfect tint of color, and the best part, they make your lips look kissable. Here are some of my favorite tinted lip balms on the market. – Pixi Rose Lip Treat. $12. Available at Target. Contains Vitamin E, rose extract, and comes in rose or fawn. – Burt’s Bee…

“Hands-free” wheelchair helps users bust a move
Imagine a wheelchair that moves depending on whatever the direction you lean in? That’d be pretty sweet, right (not to mention a show-stopper on the dance floor). Well, it’s now a reality thanks to University of South Florida’s choreography instructor, Merry Lynn Morris. Like most worthwhile inventions, Morris was inspired to create the Rolling Dance Chair after a personal experience: Having with a father who become disabled. And he, just like me, loved to dance…click for the rest of this blog here. – Tiff

Look at their sweaters!
I present to you, my friends, one of the greatest videos ever made: ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me.” Is it the Brady Bunch opening, the cheesy yet endearing winks, the over-the-top blurry headshots of Anni-Frid and Agnetha, or their funny Snow Bunny outfits? The world may never know, but hot damn…this video never fails to bring me out of a shitty mood. LOVE it! – Tiff

EZ-Combs
While watching CNN this past weekend, I was inundated with a wacky commercial for EZ-Combs, the latest hair accessory to be peddled on TV infomercials. At first glace I wanted to vomit. It looks pretty fugly. Am I right or am I right? But then they started to demonstrate how you use it, and then I realized me – a woman without any finger control – might be able to use it on my own. It looks simple enough: Insert one side, stretch it and pull it to the other side of your head, then insert the other comb. Sure, it may look ugly, but being able to put my hair up on my own…

Cooking: What’s Your Favorite Dish (to make)?
What do you really enjoy cooking? I absolutely love cooking my Mom’s classic white sauce recipe. It’s a heart-attack waiting to happen, but at least you’ll die with a smile on your face. The recipe: – 1 stick of butter – 1 pint of heavy whipping cream – 1 tablespoon of garlic sauce – 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese Melt the stick of butter on low heat. After it’s fully melted, add the whipping cream while stirring constantly. After the two have mixed, add the garlic salt. Right before serving, add the parmesan cheese. Stir in (still on low) and make sure the cheese entirely melts into the sauce.…
