My BMI is 105???

One of the overlooked things in human communications is body language and I'm always aware of what I'm telling someone without me knowing it. This has been a topic of conversation from time to time on several levels as I have talked to my local Horse Whispererer and she said horses pick up on human body language on a certain level.

In Avatar you would plug in your hair to the "horse" and communicate but on earth a you communicate with a horse without even knowing it with your ass (I guess).

ANYWAY - this thought process all started when I saw yet another photo of Sandra Bullock in the paper today and then I had a flashback to an Entertainment Weekly article from several months ago.

At the time I thought the article was a bunch of foo foo. It showed a number of celebrity couples on some red carpet and it talked about what each photo was telling us. How they stood, where there hips were, the angle of the heads and so forth. What struck me at the time was that they surmised that while Sandra and Jesse were basically acting like "one" there seemed to be some small distance between them like something was not clicking on some level.  Something that was just not quite right.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm Of course you can make all sorts of predictions and so forth hundreds of times and be wrong and no one will ever remember but . . . .

Ever take your BMI reading on whether you are overweight? I just did and I seem to be morbidly obese.

The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute have a calculator and I entered my numbers.

Feet?  I have 2 (what a stupid question)
inches?  looks like each one is about 10
Weight 174

My BMI is 105.8   Normal weight = 18.5-24.9  OH MY GOD - no wonder I was told to go to a dietitian.

I don't think I'm over weight - I think I am under height!  If I eat MORE I will grow taller (my mom always said that)  so my goal is to add 12 more inches to my . . . neck (I guess that would be the easiest place).  Maybe I can add some of those neck rings I see some Africans wear??. Can I get those on State Street somewhere?  I don't think Columbus has a neck ring store, maybe the Travel Center.

I'm looking for someone that wants they motor cycle photographed. Anyone anyone?

I'll have to have my camera ready next time I put flea and tick stuff on the cats back. Too funny!  I put some on Milo, it's like 6 drops of fluid on his neck and he started limping around the house like he had a broken leg. Then I put some in Sierra and I almost pee'd my pants as she was jumping up and down like she was getting shocks - IT'S LIKE DROPS OF WATER!!!!!

Stupid Netflix!  They will not have any NEW movies at least for a month after they go on sale.  I'm sort of getting dissatisfied with Netflix.  Their streaming video only has old stuff, like years old.

Do not expect to see many Monarch butterfly's this year. The few females left are slowly making their way north but Mexico was very hard this winter.  There was a huge hail storm (killing 8 humans) that destroyed something like 50% of the nesters and heavy rains were a problem.  Add the fact that along their route in some places 100% of their nesting areas has been destroyed by farmers planting corn for bio-fuel.

The monarch migration is truly one of the world's greatest natural wonders and it needs help.

So if you see a Monarch, it is a survivor.  Also point him or her to my garden as it is a Butterfly Waystation. We need a major effort to restore the milkweed crop. I had a milkweed plant in my garden and last year I counted 6 caterpillars. I took all the seed pods and tossed them into the dump area across the fairway from my house.  I hops some of them (or all ) grow into Milkweed. 

I believe there was some school here in Columbus that had a butterfly garden??? If you know of this have them contact me. Let's get the word out. We can make some news!

Teachers - here is a A TEACHER'S GUIDE TO CREATING A SCHOOL BUTTERFLY GARDEN. If you do this I'll come and take photos of the gardens.

OH for anyone that watched "V" last night. Geez - I guess "V" sex is not that fun . . .especially for the male!  Damn "V" woman get hungry after sex.  bummer! 

Anyone have the first 4 episodes of LOST recorded on a DVD?


So how is this month averages temps going?  Not counting TODAY the average high is 6 degrees above normal and the average Low is 2.8 degrees above normal.  Looking ahead to April it looks like we should be about normal in temp and precip but warmer then normal for the next couple weeks.

I can't believe I missed Tsunami Awareness Week, March 21-27. Sorry - my bad. I didn't see any so we lucked out.

If you are thinking about planting your garden here is the last frost map

I guess I was too early.

BTW - Being a weather geek and watching weather all my life I feel we will go right into summer.  This is a make-up year fro last year, the year without summer.

This reminds me of 1975ish where we had snow for a long time but were playing softball in March and had instant summer.  

have a great Wednesday.
