Avocado is the Aztec word for WHAT?

I wondered if anything could dampen my constant desire for guacamole. The answer is yes.

Testicles, prostates and circumcision, oh my! Today Oprah gave her stage over to Dr. Oz who handled questions from an all-male audience. I took some notes to give to my husband when he gets home from work, but no direct advice was given by Oprah. I think my sig-o might be slightly disappointed that Oprah didn't backup Dr. Oz's advice that men should have sex 4 times a week to prolong their lifespan.

I live in fear of tomorrow's show with guest Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana. I've heard tell of this phenomenon before, but have never seen it first hand. I wonder if I'll spend an hour filled with screaming tweens.

I have downloaded my copy of last night's webinar and am looking forward to catching up on my LO work.

I really appreciate the feedback you all have been giving me. I read every word and am grateful when you take the time to give me your two cents. Knowing that you're reading inspires me to keep going even when I'm exhausted by all the work, so thanks a ton!

Can you imagine the reaction of all of Oprah's female viewers (I'm betting it's 98% of her audience) if she HAD backed up Dr. Oz's statement about sex 4x per week? I bet a good number would have been ok, but a significant number would have been upset.

Your blog was linked to Pop Candy (another blog) and I'm so glad it was! I've just read all your past posts and I'm quite impressed by your dedication and the reasons behind it. Oprah's made me nervous for the past few years because of the adulation she not only receives, but seems to believe she deserves. I'll be following your progress with eagerness. :>)

so wait...is avocado terrible for you? because i'm ready to go down early for guacamole and turkey avocado sandwiches.

and while oz suggests 4x a week, men want it 4x a day. i'll take week over day...if my body can handle it. we women, always looking for ways to please our needy men!

oh no - avocados are still on the healthy list. it's just that dr oz explained (with visual aids) that they grow in 2s on their trees, one hanging lower than the other, and that's why the word 'testicles' is derived from the Aztec word for avocado.

very funny about the whole men/sex/shebang. touche.
