on my radar: foolhearty

NEW 12:20 p.m. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Top executives of the five biggest U.S. oil companies said Tuesday they know high fuel prices are hurting consumers, but deflected any blame and argued their profits — $123 billion last year — were in line with other industries....

Excuse me? Which other industries are they referring to? Did they mean other nation's GNP?

Random note: April is National Foot Health Month and if you need to feel better about yourself, here's an easy way to do it...

Wellness Tip of the Month:

Inspect your feet regularly. Pay attention to changes in color and temperature of your feet. Look for thick or discolored nails (a sign of developing fungus), and check for cracks or cuts in the skin. Peeling or scaling on the soles of feet could indicate athlete’s foot. Any growth on the foot is not considered normal. (www.apma.org)


Wellness Challenge of the Month:
Wash your feet every day in warm soapy water (don’t soak them, as this might destroy the natural oils) and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes. (www.feetforlife.org)

You CAN do it!!!!!! Please even consider exceeding the challenge!

Seriously? Could you have thrown in a warning before you dropped a 'fungus' talk? I do appreciate this though. Perhaps I will tell my class about this tomorrow. No. Scratch that. Because this type of humor would go over their heads and I would have to deal with a zillion kids who refused to wear shoes.

And I can honestly say I've never sat down and inspected my feet. You have shown me the light.
