Snow & the Seed Catalog

We're happy to not be in the SNOWMAGEDDONin  London, Ontario which is reeling under a metre of snow that's fallen in the last day or so. While Hamilton and Stoney Creek had just a light dusting of flurries, here in Hagersville, we got about a couple of inches.

What should appear but the William Dam seed catalog. 

Gardening can be a lot of fun, relaxation, - a fine hobby, but it can be a lot of work too.

Maybe we should cut back next year? But when you start looking at all the new varieties...

then well, maybe we could try growing some of those.

Ah the challenges of gardening- they always start with the seed catalog. Spring can't be that far away. . .  .

Hand Lotion can be Habit Forming

I generally refuse to regularly use hand lotions and hand cremes. Not only is it habit forming, it is addictive. Google hand lotion and habit forming or addictive. I am not alone in my think and some place like Amazon.com say the lotion is habit forming.

So is the habit formed because-

• the user is addicted to the pleasure felt in rubbing their hands with lotion
• the user's body has shut down its natural oil production since it is now supplied externally
• the user believes that they have poor hands (negative hand image)
• the user is comparing their hands to the stereotypical hands in advertising
  
• the product contains some nicotine or caffeine like addictive ingredients
• the product makes you think your hands are softer, but really they're not so you keep using the product
