Dogs understand people more than you think

How well do you know your dog?

More importantly, how well does your dog know you?

Have you ever noticed that your dog does really well with sensory clues around them to react to? Web Watch remembers a former pet we had that would sleep in the corner all night long… but the one time that we knowingly get up to go to the refrigerator for a snack, they would wake right up and follow us to the kitchen.

Every. Single. Time.

It’s like they knew something, sensed something about what we were doing – and acted upon it.

Turns out, our observation isn’t that far from the truth discovered by scientists.

Are you an adult?

If you were, then you would already know that there are certain responsibilities that you have now that you didn’t have when you were growing up.

Responsibilities such as how to act when you’re around pregnant women.

There are 4 different cinnamons, 3 of them are fake, and tasters can’t tell the difference

A few years ago, Web Watch wrote about how ARTIFICIAL VANILLA CONTAINS COAL TAR.

It ends up that there are many different artificial food products that contain ingredients that we may or may not know about.

Take, for example, the simple cinnamon stick.

Did you know that there really are three different products that are commonly sold as “cinnamon sticks”?

Did you know that only one of them is actually really considered “cinnamon”?

If you’re not reading Cosmopolitan magazine, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Seriously, their annual SEX ISSUE is hands-down, one of the funniest reads you’ll have all year.

And it’s all because of their regular survey feature of SEX QUESTIONS (“We answer the naughtiest things on your mind, in 20 words or less”).

How to find out how much a taxi ride will cost you

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 23, 2012

So the other day, Web Watch was out on the road and needed to get from our hotel to a restaurant a few miles away.

We definitely had choices available, as taking a taxi wasn’t our only option — and we didn’t necessarily need to have door-to-door service as being dropped off anywhere in the general neighborhood would have been perfectly acceptable.

But being on a tight budget, we wanted to know ahead of time how much our taxi ride was going to cost us.

How to reach Inbox Zero

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 22, 2012

Inbox Zero.

Web Watch hears this phrase thrown about at the office by managers who feel overwhelmed by the constant influx of arriving email messages.

All they want to do is get their email inbox to read “0 messages”…. and hopefully keep it that way.

Web Watch understands the desire to have 0 waiting messages, but INBOX ZERO is a goal that not everyone can achieve — especially us, who receives upwards of 1000 emails a day across multiple email accounts. Granted, the vast majority of those messages are ones that can either be filed away or deleted without even being read or addressed — but that still is going to leave a few hundred emails each day that still need to be processed in some manner.

Yeah, achieving INBOX ZERO isn’t always possible for everybody…

If you’re part of the Baby Boomer generation, you’re probably living alone

Post author By web gangsta
Post date April 20, 2012

The Baby Boomer generation is getting older, that’s a fact. And it’s not just because Baby Boomers represent those aged 45-63.

It could be because they may not be doing the one thing that helps alleviate the onset of premature old-age: finding a partner to spend the rest of their lives with.
