Treats
New treats I've found that you have to sample.
1. Zen Soy Chocolate Soy Pudding. It tastes like the real thing.
2. Trader Joe's Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. All natural but they are by far the best tasting natural cookies I've ever sampled. They're better than Uncle Eddie's Vegan cookies if you're familiar with that brand
3. Trader Joe's Goji Berry Anti-oxidant Mix (dehydrated blueberries, cranberries, apricots and goji) Absolutely delicious.
4. Ralphs Grocery Store Bakery Praline Pecan Cookies. I can eat a dozen and still want more.
5. Silk Soy Yogurt Strawberry Banana. Mmm!
6. Soy Delicious Li'l Buddies - Mint Flavored. These Soy based ice cream sandwiches are scrumptious.
Bruce Bowen of the San Antonio Spurs looks like Mr Potato Head. There I said it. You've been thinking the same thing. Tell me they don't look like brothers?

Its Contagious
Speech disfluencies: are parts of speech which are not generally recognized as purposeful or containing formal meaning, usually expressed as pauses such as uh or er.
When I am watching interviews on various networks (most commonly ESPN) or listening to callers on the radio I am completely distracted by the disinfluencies I hear. I can't even focus on the points being made. I keep thinking why can't they spit it out? why do they keep saying umm, uh, etc so much?
Unfortunately, I have noticed that my own speech pattern is increasingly being filled with disinfluencies. Yikes!!! I really don't understand why that is. It's driving me crazy - I know that. I'll start speaking and the next I know I am I am stuck saying "uh..umm" grasping for any word(s) that'll help me finish my thought.
1. Which disinfluence do you hate hearing most:
A) Umm: ex. I was hoping...umm..you had this shirt in a large
B) Like: ex. I, like, saw this crazed looking dog
C) You know: ex. I was telling him, you know, life is too short
D) Uh: ex. The other day you said, uh , you hadn't seen my wallet.
E) the stutter: ex.. The notepad is mine but the-the-the pen is his.
F) You know what I am saying: ex. This is stupid, you know what I am saying, I have more important things to do.
G) Fill in your own
2. Which one do you make use of most?
I really hate hearing "you know what I am saying." It drives me up the wall. Sadly, I use "uh and umm" a lot.
