Addicted to The Hills!
For the past two or so hours I've been sitting in front of the computer with my eyes glued to the screen, watching The Hills- Season 5. I'm now up to episode 6, hooray! Only 4 more episodes to go, but so sad 'cause i don't know when or if there'll be anymore seasons after this.

Why so anal?
I recently started work at an organic shop called As Nature Intended. Going by the last place i worked at where my colleagues weren't that welcoming i wasn't expecting much from this place. So, i braced myself for the worst. I was previously working in a coffee shop where the girls i worked with were bitches- they had attitude and thought they were better than everyone else.
For some reason even though im in a whole new country i was expecting the same from this new place. But actually, to my surprise the girls are really nice, friendly and welcoming. With the exception of one biiaaatch who'z name i wont mention for privacy reasons.
She has told me off on numerous occasions and i have also done the same which has resulted in her walking away and acting all nice and friendly towards me for the rest of the day. Why??? I don't know. Who cares. She'z an anal biiaaatch who yelled at my boyfriend. Obviously oblivious to the fact that he was my boyfriend and thinking he was just another customer. So yes, she is anal towards me, anal to my boyfriend but do you think she would yell at an old lady? Well yes, she did.
I was serving customers one day when this old lady had lined up to purchase her things and realised she had forgotten something, so she placed her items down on the counter and walked away for a minute to find what she wanted. In that time "the biiaaatch" came and took away this ladies groceries and had placed them back on the shelves. As i was busy serving other customers i was not aware of the whole situation which was taking place. Just as the old lady returned i had just finished serving my last customer when she asked why all her groceries were missing. I replied and said i wasn't sure. "The biiaatch" happened to be walking by, so this old lady turned to her obviously looking for an answer and some kind words (seeing as "customer service" should be the number one priority in whatever shop you go to) and all this anal woman could say in reply was 'you walked away, and now they're back on the shelf'....'this is how we run this store'.....
I was very appalled at how "the anal one" handled the situation and so i ended up appologising for how rude she had just been.
Sad but true, there are people out there that really don't care about how they treat other people, or they just dont care about what other people think about them.
So the moral of this story is- be nice to other poeple and treat others how you would like to be treated.

Do you know what a normal bowel movement is?
Most of us spend most of our time trying not to think about our bowel movements, so it’s no surprise that many people do not know what a “normal” bowel movement is. The fact is that there is no 1 definition of a normal bowel movement. There are gradations of normal, and every person is going to have different bowel habits. There are, however, several signs that a bowel movement is abnormal and should be discussed with a physician.
Once a day, right?
Many people believe that the definition of a normal bowel movement is having 1 movement each day, but that is not true for everyone. There is no rule for frequency of bowel movements, but the general range is from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Less than 3 movements a week may indicate constipation, and more than 3 watery stools a day could indicate diarrhea.
Size and shape
A bowel movement should be soft and easy to pass, though some people may have harder or softer stools than others. Stool should be brown or golden brown, be formed, have a texture similar to peanut butter, and have a size and shape similar to a sausage.
Constipation
Constipation is a very common problem and is estimated to be the cause for approximately 2 million doctor visits each year. Constipation is hard, dry, lumpy stools that are difficult or painful to pass that may be accompanied by bloating and discomfort. Chronic dehydration, lack of exercise, and low amounts of dietary fiber can all lead to constipation. Drinking enough water each day and avoiding caffeine can help prevent dehydration. At least 30 minutes of exercise (even brisk walking is better than no aerobic activity) most days of the week is recommended for better overall health. There should be enough fiber in the diet to insure that stools are soft and pass painlessly and easily.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is loose, watery stool that occurs more than 3 times in 1 day. For most people, diarrhea is a common problem that usually lasts a day or 2 and does not need any treatment. Causes include infection, side effects of medication, and food intolerance. Diarrhea may need treatment if it lasts more than 3 days and is accompanied by fever, severe pain or dehydration, or if it looks black, tarry, or contains blood.
Change in bowel habits
A normal bowel movement is different for each person and may vary in consistency and frequency. There are, however, several indications that a bowel movement is abnormal and may be the sign of a more serious problem.
A change in bowel habits includes any constant change in bowel frequency, color, consistency, or shape of stools. This sign warrants special concern in people who are over the age of 50 years.
Blood. Frank blood in the stool is never normal, and could be a result of several conditions that range from mild, such as hemorrhoids, to serious, such as infection or colon cancer. Bloody stools should always be evaluated by a physician.
Black stools. Black, tarry stools with a foul odor can be the result of eating certain foods, taking iron supplements, or possibly from internal bleeding.
Red or maroon stools. Red or maroon stools could be from something benign, such as eating red colored foods or it could be caused by several different conditions including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, colon polyps or colon cancer, diverticular bleeding, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Green stool. Green stool may be caused by green or artificially colored foods, iron supplements, or decreased colonic transit time.
Pale or clay colored stools. Stools that appear pale or look like clay could be the result of lack of bile salt (which gives stool a brownish color), antacids, barium from recent barium enema test, or hepatitis.
