- They keep you young: As long as you have tattoos, no matter how buttoned up you have become, you can always say, “I used to be a rock star.”
- They can make you laugh: Keep a sense of humor about yourself always. Tattoos help you do that. You can’t take yourself too seriously with Wile E. Coyote on your forearm.
- They help you bond: If someone else has a tattoo they also “regret,” you can commiserate and laugh about the follies of youth. Together.
- Regrets are pointless: The fact is, life is short. “Permanence” is really impermanent and all kinds of other deep, deep stuff. Life moves fast and your tattoos mark a time when you had a different mindset. Embrace that.

BREAD IS THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF SALT IN OUR DIETS:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report which contained the surprising finding that bread and rolls are the top source of salt in Americans’ diet.
The reason is not that bread is particularly salty, but because we eat so much of it as a staple of our diets that the sodium in it adds up.
Health officials say that Americans eat too much salt, mostly from processed and restaurant foods, which increases the risk of high blood pressure.
The top 10 sources of salt in our diets are:
- Bread and rolls
- Cold cuts and cured meats
- Pizza
- Fresh and processed poultry
- Soups
- Fast-food hamburgers and sandwiches
- Cheese
- Spaghetti and other pasta dishes
- Meatloaf and other meat dishes
- Snacks like potato chips, pretzels and popcorn.
A new survey found that arguing once a week can be the secret to strong, happy couples — as long as the arguing isn’t abusive. 44 percent of pairs believe that fighting ‘helps keep the lines of communication open.’
It also found that fighting in front of children can be a good thing — provided the irritation is dealt with respectfully and couples are able to show kids that they have moved on quickly and positively.
There’s even a strategy to a healthy argument. ‘A soft start-up is the best way’, according to Professor Doherty, who says that a hard opener – attacking or blaming, for example – immediately puts a partner on the defensive.

As a female I can say that when we are not being appreciated (aka taken for granted) and not being made a priority, fights WILL ensue (often the fights have nothing to do with what you are yelling about!!) Also, you will get less and less of what you want in the “extra-curricular deptartment” if we are last on your list~!!!
Spend quality time together and really appreciate the other…and things will get better!!!
