LAUGH FOR THE DAY - MAXINE ON ZOMBIES AND WASHINGTON D.C.


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - THE PROBLEM WITH SOCIALISM


JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT HOT CHOCOLATE WAS SAFE TO DRINK.

Dear Readers:

One of my favorite hot drinks on a cold night is hot chocolate.  The way I like to make it is to microwave a cup of whole milk or almond milk, add chocolate sauce (you can make your own from the recipe on the can of Hershey's unsweetened powdered cocoa), with a dollop of whipped cream.  Apparently, according to the article below, the stuff that comes in a box or that you get at one of these coffee shops is not so good for you.  Here is an excerpt and the link for the entire article.  

"5 reasons why hot chocolate isn't healthy."

Yes, we're sorry to be the bearer of news that'll ruin campfires this fall and après-ski in the winter, but it turns out the only way to have a clean hot chocolate is to make it yourself, said Jennifer Glockner, RD, a dietitian in Los Angeles and author of the Smartee Plate e-book series.

"When I reviewed the nutritional information for hot chocolate at popular coffee house chains across the country, it was hard to find a healthy, clean version," she said. "The same is true for most powders you see at the supermarket. Almost all are made from processed cocoa powders and have mile-long ingredients lists."

CLIMATE CHANGE??? IT'S CALLED WEATHER

I remember back in the 70's we were being told we were headed toward another "Ice Age".  There were movies and TV shows showing what was going to happen.  It was just around the corner.  Break out the long johns! 

Then in the 90's we started hearing about global warming.  Once again there were movies and TV shows showing what was going to happen.  It was just around the corner.  Break out the bathing suit!

Come on folks, it called weather!

LAUGH FOR THE DAY - MAXINE AND A COLD DRAFT


GREAT ARTICLE - "STOP FACEBOOK TARGETED ADS AND TRACKING"

Dear Readers:

Once again, my favorite computer information writer, Kim Komando, has great advice.  The excerpt from her article is below along with a link to the entire article.  Great ADVICE!

"Stop Facebook targeted ads and tracking"

"If you browse the Internet at all, you've run into targeted ads. You'll be looking at a product on one site, and then you’ll see an ad for it right away on another site. We've seen situations where a YouTube video will play an ad for the site you just opened in another browser tab. Creepy! Let's look at how it works and how you can stop it."
