Too much Haagen Dazs too fast will freeze the brains of lesser men. As for you, press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says Abo. "In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache."

Regarding positive and negative reinforcement, VitalSmarts's  Change Anything  research reveals that people fear losing their stuff more than they desire to acquire something that they could have. So here's how to apply the research on road trips: before leaving on a road trip , give each child a $10 roll of quarters. Tell them they spend it on anything he wants when you arrive — but that every time they ask “Are we there yet?” or pester a sibling, you will take a quarter. I wish I’d made this one up, but I didn’t. I read it somewhere. Wonderfully devious. (P.S. You get to spend the quarters on anything you want, too. Or save them for the same tactic on the way home.)

ORIGIN late 18th cent.: from Latin, ablative of via ‘way, road.’ From what I've gathered from web forums, those who speak International English say, "vIa" while American English speakers typically say, "vEa."

3 Days to Eternity (by ideo685) I see a lot of single adults moping around, stressed out and feeling picked on because of their current marital status. Listen folks, you’re status is not “a problem.” No one is judging you or accusing you of anything. Nothing has been commanded of you other than to revisit your priorities and make sure that they are in line with Heavenly Father’s Plan of Happiness for families. The prophetic invitations we received this weekend were not to pressure us, but to prepare us to receive (what I believe to be) the greatest blessing that we can receive in this life. You may feel like you are already doing all you can do. Watch this video featuring my friends living at Montecello (BYU) and ask yourself that question again.
