ITS RAINING M...BIRDS...

Okay, so no one seems to be acknowledging that anything is wrong with what happened in Arkansas. 100,000 drum fish washed ashore the Arkansas River on December 30th.
The next day just before midnight 5,000 blackbirds drop within a 1.5 mile radius in Beebe, Arkansas.
Which is only about 125 miles away.
This is NOT an everyday occurence.

"The fish kill only affected one species of fish," Keith Stephens of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission reported to CNN. "If it was from a pollutant, it would have affected all of the fish, not just drum fish."

It would have been LESS strange had they not all been the same species of bird and fish. Still strange none the less but i don't want to throw out any "conspiracy theories". Supposedly, the fish may have been diseased and the the birds may have died from stress from New Year's Eve fireworks...I didn't buy that.

After preliminary autopsies on 17 of the birds, the states top vetinarian told NBC news on Monday, that it was blunt force trauma to their organs.
"Their stomachs were empty, which rules out poison," Dr. George Badley said, "and they died in midair, not on impact with the ground."


Now bad weather is being deemed as the culprit.

I dont know about you guys but im gonna party like its 1999....er...2012, maybe.

Hangover Cure? Hah. But These Tips May Help

Most people brought the new year in with a few drinks too many. After all the drinks you now have the dreaded next day hangover. I'm about to give you Jamie's top 5 ways to help with your hangover.

5. Pace yourself. You know how many drinks will get you a little tipsy. So pace yourself to avoid drinking texting or calling. You don't want to say some things that might get you in trouble, or even get somebody else in trouble. (I'm guilty of this very thing).

4.Eat, but don't binge. Crackers and toast can boost blood sugar that may have dipped while drinking, contributing to your fatigue and overall weakness, according to the Mayo Clinic. Also consider pretzels and a banana to replace the salt and potassium lost through urinating so much. Pickles, pickle juice and bread works really well as well. I can say from personal experiences that this works. I had so many shots and after every shot I had a shot of  pickle juice and bite of bread (might sound nasty but it works)No cheeseburger feast—most of us lack the stomach for it the day after.

3.Drink lots of water. It's hardly groundbreaking advice, but it should be a top priority. Alcohol makes you urinate. That can lead to dehydration, prompting the hallmark dizziness and lightheadedness of a hangover.

2.Choose wisely. Darker-colored alcoholic beverages—bourbon, scotch, tequila, brandy, ales—have a greater amount of chemicals called congeners, which are more likely to cause a hangover, according to the Mayo Clinic. But light or dark, excess alcohol can lead to a perfectly awful day after.

1. Just Deal with it. There is always a consequence for every action,so just stock on headache medicine. Make sure that drink alots of liquid and maybe soup.

So the next time you decide to get drunk just remember a few things. First there will always be picture that your friends take to make sure that you don't forget your drunken experience.( And if you have friends like mine, they will post them) Second make sure somebody sober has your phone. No drunk dialing! I repeat no drunk dialing! And last, just try a few things on Jamie's top 5 list.

.WE NEED A RESOLUTION

So how many of us are busy making that SAME resolution today? You know the one. "this year im gonna lose weight. Or this year im gonna save more" ...blah blah blah. They ALL end up  having the SAME results. By the end of March you have some excuse as to why you stopped doing them. So how about we start off the year being honest with ourselves? Instead of these NEW YEAR'S resolutions, let's just resolve to be better.
