Linkfest MONDAY

Since I can't move (no, seriously), I'll tell you what I've been learning about today.

• We waste a ridiculous amount of energy on food we don't eat.  I never realized it was that much.  I got fussy with my parents when they were up here because they bought all this food that's not needed.  (Seriously, I can't drink that much milk alone, it will go bad.)
  
• What do your taxes buy?  I'm torn between being thrilled and offended that we pay more in foreign aid than we do for education here.  (Public schools should be palaces.  Just saying.)  I think it's a great idea to let everyone know taxes are spent, but I think this would cost more than it's worth.
  
• Toothpaste: the scariest thing in the medicine cabinet if it does that to my shoes.  Maybe I should find google 'natural alternatives to toothpaste' now.
  
• October is Personal Health Technology Month.  In that vain, I am considering getting a Garmin (those expensive watches with GPS that tell me how fast I'm going).  Speak on it please.
  
• I love Cakewrecks!  "I just pooped a pumpkin".  Don't know what I found that so funny I couldn't stop laughing, but I hope you find it just as amusing.
  
• And finally, for my running friends Places to get free mp3s for your running playlists.  Did you know there's a website that put's out new playlists every week for you to get ideas for new running songs?
