Contrary to popular belief....

I do not get into car accidents a lot. Weird things happen to my cars: people steal things from them, break windows, key the sides, etc. I have usually been the one to get hit, the 'hittee' not the 'hitter.' Well....

I hate ABS brakes. I had to hit them kind of hard yesterday, and the ABS released and sent me into the car in front of me.

her car... mostly okay. my car can no longer go on the freeway. the hood is messed up too much.

:( me sad

The lady I hit was great. it was like 5 mph, but because I was sooo close when it stopped, it surged into her from the ABS releasing and messed up the bumper on her car. we turned the corner, exchanged info. she works for the police department(yay me). she cracked a joke about sending her officers after me and i was like... deer in the headlights. she apologized. and was like just kidding! just kidding!

My car looks like crap. her car sat really high so it just shoved my hood in and now it won't open. i don't really care, as long as both of us are okay, uninjured, that is all that matters. Looks like it is going to be mostly painless. except for that lovely point on my record.

The worst of it is just that i can't drive it on the freeway, so i be a homebody for awhile.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Okay so I know, as most of us should by now, that the Omega-3s that you need are found in all sorts of fish products and you should be eating them. I am not a fish enthusiast. Shrimp, yes; fish, no. So... to supplement those Omega-3s I had been considering adding them in pill form as a dietary supplement. (I already do a bunch of vitamins, multi or otherwise).





I belong to a word-of-mouth advertising group called BzzAgent (you really need to check that out if you like trying new stuff - BzzAgent.com). My latest campaign was for New Harvest line of Omega-3 Fatty acid Dietary Supplement. Perfect!

I received my 7-day sample and took all but the last one. They work great, the capsule has a nice tasty outer skin. I was gearing up to take the last one while at work, when just as the phone rang I realized I did not have any water to take it with. So I answered the phone, with the capsule in hand. While I was listening to my customer, I had the capsule in my left hand and just kind of idly touching it to my tongue.

Can you guess what happened next? The outer capsule was so tasty, I kept doing that - kind of tasting the capsule with my tongue. It burst. Into the underside of my tongue. Fish Oil. While I was on the phone at work.
With a customer.

Do you recall when I said I was not a fan of fish? It was ALL I could do to not start dry heaving on the phone! Let's just say, it's in a capsule, leave it that way, take it daily as instructed, and you'll be fine.

Do not eat the oil straight - you will taste fish for an hour. :)
