Mondays Are Bad For Your Health: The NY Post says Mondays are bad for your health. New research from the University of Hong Kong reveals that anxiety on Mondays leads to higher cortisol levels. This can harm your overall health. Experts advise conducting a weekly stress inventory to identify and manage sources of anxiety.  Professor  Modupe Akinola says, ‘’Monday anxiety was the only day linked to a lasting cortisol spike likely because the day carries a sense of “uncertainty, danger or dread. There is something effortful about Mondays — you have to get up, get dressed, get focused, deal with traffic, when over the weekend you typically don’t deal with these things. All of those extra demands that come on Monday make it feel like you may not have the resources to cope … and your body’s stress system is telling you to get ready to battle.”

Owning A Dog May Not Make You Happy: The Daily Mail says owning a dog may not make you happier. A recent study by Budapest’s Eötvös Loránd University reveals that dog ownership can lead to increased anxiety instead of joy.  Researchers found that the initial boost in cheerfulness from getting a new pet, especially a dog, only lasts up to four months. The demands of pet care, vet bills and disobedience may outweigh the initial benefits for many dog owners. The study suggests that the widely held belief that pet ownership leads to lasting improvements in well-being may not always be true.

Cheat Sheet says the U.S. government may not return Sean ‘’Diddy’’ Combs baby oil to him even if he is found not guilty of trafficking. Trial attorney Brian Stewart says, “Items seized in a federal raid — whether it’s firearms, electronics, or personal items like lube and baby oil — are held in secure government evidence facilities. If Diddy is found not guilty, his lawyers can file a motion to get those items back, but it’s not guaranteed. Anything tied to alleged crimes or considered contraband can be kept or destroyed by the government, even if it’s legal to own.”

What Do You Pour First  – Milk Or Cereal?: The Daily Mail says a new study by the Center for the Study of the Senses and the University of London was conducted to find out if milk should be poured in a bowl before cereal. Professor Barry Smith says, “Of course, it depends what the cereal is. ‘The very earnest nuts and bolts granola from health food stores probably needs a good soak, while sugar laden flakes may dissolve quickly. Everyone will have their preferred tolerance. Experimentation is best to discover when they hit their peak texture – the bliss point – for you. That also changes as you eat, so the cereal may start a little too hard and end a little too soggy and what you are trying to optimize is the time or number of mouthfuls when it is just right – the Goldilocks Principle. Of course, by the time you finish the last, soggy pieces, you are often rewarded by that sugar rich milk, which many people find even more delicious than the cereal.’

Florida Woman Says Devil Told Her To Shoplift From Walmart: The Smoking Gun says a Tampa, Florida woman, named Angela Taborda, recently claimed the devil made her shoplift from Walmart.
