Paul McKenna: I Can Make You Thin
Okay ladies, this gentleman was on Dr. Oz today; pretty interesting stuff!
Once again, I applaude Dr. Oz for being a western-trained MD who is so open-minded.

House Sitting
Have you ever thought about house sitting? Or thought about hiring a house sitter to stay in your place while you travel?
Several years ago I actually did a bit of house sitting. Considering the age I was at, it was a fun experience. An affluent couple I knew wanted someone to stay in their house while they traveled; take care of the pets, water the plants, etc.
Since I lived close to them, it was easy money. Add to that the fact that the house was amazing-- it was a no-brainer! Their place sat on the edge of a beautiful golf course, with a magnificent view and a full-sized swimming pool. I lived in a tiny apartment, so this place was paradise!
I was introduced to house sitting by an older lady who was widowed and her kids were long grown; she made extra money and was able to travel a bit by doing this. She enjoyed herself and was reliable, so it was great for those who hired her as well.
I've considered the possibility of once again becoming a house sitter; its my understanding that I could see the world this way, which is certainly intriguing!
