Stephanie Stricklen: February 2007 Archives((Lookin' for the info on the "Mommy Spa"?? It's the previous blog posting!! You're almost there..)) Here is the study abstract which was published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association): http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/297/8/842 And as I was looking for additional background research on this I came across a stu... I actually found this story by doing a random 'google' search. When I read about it I had that moment where I said to myself, "Self, why didn't I think of this?" Okay: if you want to check out Zenana for yourself just head to the website: John writes about the TRICARE story: This is what I'm working on for tonite at 5. I also tossed in a snippet about my 6pm story too!! ...Bleck. The weather outside today has looked awful (as opposed to the weather inside which is a little more predictable). It's the kind of weather that might make most people skip a workout... unless you have one of those little Bodybugg devices that will tattle on you to your trainer. Okay, it doesn't tattle. But it keeps you honest, that's for sure!! And speak... Mornin' Check out this little guy-- it monitors how many calories you burn 24/7. Basically, you eat it and it tracks how well you burn it off.
((Ahem... If you are looking for teeth bleaching or Convo's cat, it's the previous entry.. you're almost there!)) "TRICARE, why care?" I called it that because unless you are directly affected and are having a hard time finding a doctor, you might wonder why this is an issue you should care about. <<scrape, scrape.. the sound of me dragging my soapbox over>> Access to healthcar... Teeth bleaching is all the rage right now. In fact, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry lists teeth whitening as the number one requested cosmetic dental procedure. Click here to share your teeth whitening experience. So what do our smiles say about us? As a kid who had gigantic front teeth and two years of braces (in high school, to boot) I found this little bit of information fa... So, I haven't had any caffeine this morning and I think it shows. I *always* drag on Monday's. :-D
Inching closer to success. Thanks for your emails on the sex spray story and on my first video blog ("vlog"). I had to 'talk' directly to a couple of you in this one.. which I just did:
Little squirt, little sniff and then your libido does a little cartwheel. Interesting concept, eh? Of course we don't know *yet* that any of this works... that's why they're testing it. Okay, the full story doesn't run until 11pm Thursday (tonite) but I know enough of you check out this blog before that so I'll going to give you the Cliff Notes version as fast as possible. Researchers in Seattle are testing a nasal spray and ... Well, I have no makeup on and my hair is kinda messy and the lighting isn't great but I'm super fired up to share this with you... my first video blog.. "vlog" for short. I just kind of winged it, but you get the idea. Video: Stephani... I've been working on special reports (I had about a dozen stories to do and I'm almost finished).. which is why I haven't posted a lot in the past couple days. :-) It's about 10am and I can hear people in the newsroom chattering about Britney Spears. I guess an alert moved across the wire service saying she has.. yet again.. left rehab. Man, what is going on with these young hollywood celebrities (Lindsay, Britney, Nicole)... it's j... WWYD? What would you do? What would you do if you were a doctor and you were not making a decent living in your specialty, the hours were horrible, and the stress was killing you? You might look at doing something else. That's the crux of Friday's 5pm story. I have those extra links, too, that I want to share: This one is interesting-- about medical students and well worth a listen (about 8 minutes long, but w... Last night John asked me what I wanted for Valentine's day. I've never been a flowers type of girl, so of course I joked that I wanted flowers. "Really?" "No." But it's worth it to clarify that I have nothing against flowers. I do like them. And I've been lucky enough to receive some spectacular arrangements over the years (the kind I take photos of). Flowers are beautiful and brighten your day. But roses ha... When I first asked around to see if anyone here at the station knew someone who would be willing to be interviewed about these online tests I got immediate responses from 5 people who all took IQ tests and got about the exact same score... in the genius category. Hmm. Maybe that should have been my story? Anyway, here are the sites. Again, some charge a fee and/or require you to register your email address. The doctor... ((Quick note: if you're looking for Enviga.. it's the previous entry! I posted it right before this one.)) So, here's the info on the bed sharing book... I checked around and had better luck finding it on-line than in-store, but that was last week so things ... Another Monday. There is always another Monday. I hope you had a great weekend (even if you had to work). I kept my calendar wide open and just relaxed all weekend for the first time in I don't know how long. I've started this new book based on a recommendation I read at Powell's and I'm already hooked. I still don't know why I tend to pick the books that have more than 700 pages. :-) Enviga: >> Continue reading: So... what do you think about searching for a doctor based on sexual preference, race, or religion?

Don't care to and don't see what all the fuss is about? As for simple tips on making your own baby food, I found this website... Please give my man Joe Becker a little blog-love, okay?? He is just getting into this blogging thing and if you would be so kind to check it out and shoot him a little email telling him you like mine better (KIDDING). But, seriously, a little encouragement and some new eyeballs on his blogs would hopefully keep him updating the page with new stuff. Sports is one of those perfect things to blog about, too, because there is a ton of behind th... Lemme see how fast I can do this: Oscillo: your feedback was really GREAT!! Here is a sampling of what some of you emailed me: Dean writes: Listening to a doctor (for the most part) in this country discuss Homeopathics are centuries old and have been proven effective.
