Weight loss is a multi-billion dollar industry. The hoodia patch is the latest addition to the Hoodia offering of products that touts some amazing weight loss results. This amzing little plant has been the latest rage in healthy dieting and has even been duplicated without much success.

Have you ever wondered what is the most important tool in a golfers bag? Many will say the clubs that they use such as their driver, or putter. I would say that what has made a difference in my game is the type of golf balls that I use. I use to think that whether I paid $8 for a dozen or $50 a dozen I was going to loose them anyway. What I have found is that golf balls with a tighter core seem to do better especially off the tee, and then using a softer core golf ball gives you a better feel around the green. It is probably not USGA rules to switch out balls, but I am not on tour and am out to have fun. Try different types of balls off the tee and around the green and you may just shave a few strokes off your game.

My wife went on to inform that the kids will not be eating on this tablecloth as only the adults will be seated at the table. Great, now I will have to be extra careful when passing the gravy.

I was asked to write about a new term to me called family insurance. I was unsure what I was going to write about but visited their site and here are my thoughts. Family insurance is buying insurance for your spouse and kids to insure them against future deaths. This made sense once I thought about since when you experience a death in the family the last thing on your mind are the finances and how you are going to give your family member a proper burial. With insurance you are basically planning for the unfortunate event that someone you know and love may pass away.
