Is that special child in your life still peeing in their pants? Alas! How to address that ornery problem. How To Treat Urine Stains. Historic LOLS.
Just hang them out to dry. A stiff clothesline visible to the entire neighborhood, and sturdy clothespins are all that is needed.

Consumers. Many seem to be driven by price. Is that why, Walmart wants to be your MD?
Walmart has made a reputation of offering products at a price many people can afford, and profiting quite well. So then does it stand to reason Walmart wants a piece of the mega health care delivery industry pie too?
Although there seemed to be a lot confusion just exactly what Walmart was soliciting from vendors, there appeared to be some backtracking from officials after their solicitation caught fire in the news. The Walmart “Request For Information” put out to vendors, in this case through Kaiser Health News, seems to indicate Walmart has a pretty big interest in setting up health care shop in your neighborhood Walmart. They are serious too.
Walmart seeks to dramatically: 1) lower the cost of healthcare while maintaining or improving outcomes and 2) expand access to high quality health services by becoming the largest provider of primary healthcare services in the nation. More specifically, Walmart will use its retail and multi-channel footprint to offer the lowest cost primary healthcare services and products in the nation. It will create geographically relevant delivery capabilities and seek to drive down the cost of services and products while maintaining a high quality of care. Services will include but not be limited to: clinical care, diagnostic services, preventative services, and health and wellness products.
So as Walmart is cutting back on offering its own part-time emplyees health care insurance, it appears to be jumping on the health care bandwagon. By offering it. To everyone. With partners, of course. The lovely insurance payors who will be offering health care to even more through Obamacare, once it kicks in full steam.
Just remember Walmart’s mantra that “seek[s] to drive down the cost of services and products while maintaining a high quality of care.” Hire the health care workers on the cheap, snag the health care vendors to dole out on the cheap, and keep those customers coming into the stores to buy everything else. Cheap. But what will Walmart get for letting clinics in on their lucrative revenue-generating locations? Hmmm.
So the next time you get sick, why not just go to Walmart and get checked out, before or after you have purchased your groceries, school supplies, toothpaste, car tires, law mower, sewing machine, flowers, socks, or shoes? Read the Appendix on page 14 to see all the chronic care, diagnostic care, preventive care, health and wellness care, and acute care services they want to offer.
And they’ll do it conveniently, and cheap. Nothing like name brand recognition. Walmart.
It’s only your health on the line.

Joke of the day.
Also at Jolly Good Jokes.
The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the cross walk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up..
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, “I’m very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the ‘What Would Jesus Do’ bumper sticker, the ‘Choose Life’ license plate holder, the ‘Follow Me to Sunday-School’ bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally….I assumed you had stolen the car.”
Priceless

The things some people will buy. And for what price?
Alberta dentist buys John Lennon’s tooth for $32,000. Calgary Sun. A gift to his housekeeper Dot Jarlett, that eventually found its way in to the hands of a record company founder, the tooth came up for auction recently. Dr. Michael Zuk, a dentist from Red Deer, Alta, Canada, made a bee line for the gem!
“Once I heard [the tooth] was up for sale I had to have it.”
He also said that he intended to put the molar on display at his dental practice and also exhibit it at other locations.
“Some people will think its gross, others will be fascinated by it,” he said.
Omega Auctions owner Karen Fairweather described Lennon’s tooth as “rather gruesome, yellowy, browny [and with] a cavity.”
Red Deer dentist’s ‘crazy obsession’ lands a piece of John Lennon. Edmonton Journal.
Lennon’s tooth is another example of how celebrity’s teeth can be imperfect.
It’s visibly rotten and contains a large hole, Zuk said, adding it’s likely a second or third molar from the lower part of Lennon’s mouth.
John Lennon obviously did not think the tooth fairy was going to leave anything on his pillow in exchange. The tooth however, has apparently been in the housekeeper’s family since the 1960′s, and was sold to help support her as she is in her 90′s now. The tooth fairy came a little late for him, but not soon enough for the housekeeper.

Starlings can put on a spectacular display.
Especially amazing while canoeing. In the UK, over the River Shannon.
A collection of starlings is called a murmuration.
The mathematics of murmurating starlings. Telegraph.
It’s all about safety in numbers – none wants to be on the outside, none wants to be first to land.”
A “murmuration” of starlings, as this phenomenon is known, must be one of the most magical, yet underrated, wildlife spectacles on display in winter.
Each bird strives to fly as close to its neighbours as possible, instantly copying any changes in speed or direction. As a result, tiny deviations by one bird are magnified and distorted by those surrounding it, creating rippling, swirling patterns.
Spectacular.

Shrink that prosate WITHOUT surgery.
For the manliest of men.
This was originally aired 2 years ago (2005) on CBC Hemispheres. A unusual story from Taipei, Taiwan about a treatment for prostate problems. I had to record it because it was just so amusing and bizarre.
Its based on Qigong (Chi Gong) healing techniques and is said to shrink enlarged prostates and result in healing and improved sexual functions.
Very funny story, complete with, oh yes, the classic “truck pull”.

Crazy drivers. Proof they have been around since the days of yore.
How long after this did it take for a claim to be made? Loss of animal-driven cart, loss of goods, injury to other driver, injury to animal in service, loss of income, emotional distress…

A Caja Madrid ATM in Spain doled out a little extra surprise with a cash withdrawal for one man.
Looks like the tiny snake wasn’t in any mood to part with any more cash though.
Or was the poor thing responding to humans who scared him?
