Go to the mall on any given weekend, and you’ll see tons of people. But are they strolling and browsing, or actively shopping?

Well, if you believe what the polls are saying these days, WHERE YOU LIVE DICTATES HOW MUCH YOU LOVE (or hate) TO SHOP.

Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals spread germs everywhere they go

 Doctor Walking Through Hospital Closet with Blue Sheets and Scrubs

You’ve seen them around town:  walking through the park on their way to and from lunch, driving through the bank teller line, shopping at the grocery store, eating at restaurants after a shift, riding your elevator — doctors, dental hygenists, nurses, and other medical professionals all wearing their scrubs out in public.

Think about it.

Why do medical professionals wear scrubs?  They’re easy to clean, and they don’t want to get their “real” clothes dirty.

So why do you see so many of these same medical staff wandering around in public in their scrub outfits?  They certainly aren’t going to wear these non-sterilized clothes anywhere that would possible infect you in their day-to-day care of your illness or dental exams.

Or are they?

How can anyone get married and not go on a decent honeymoon to some exotic locale?

Web Watch knows someone who’s idea of an exotic honeymoon destination was Branson, Missouri.  And before you comment to mock the happy couple – they’ve been together 15 years and have been back to Branson a number of times.

Different strokes for different folks. It’s what makes their relationship special.

Having, Doing, and Surviving It All!

Let’s face it – some countries are just better at some things than others.  For example, the French and the Italians are known for their food.  This doesn’t mean that other countries aren’t good at their own food, but what’s the first thing you ask someone when they say they’re heading off for a vacation in Italy? 

That’s right.  Web Watch can’t explain it, it just is.

So when the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) decided to do a survey on which country spends the most time doing household chores, Web Watch thought we’d use this as an opportunity to take a look at countries around the world from a different perspective.

50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live
50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live

Recently, Orlando and the surrounding area played host to the annual GAY DAYS at Walt Disney World, Universal, SeaWorld, and elsewhere.

And aside from some lame attempts to grab sensational headlines by some organizations that always look for things to complain about – this year’s Gay Days, like others before, came and went without much ado.

In other words, all those people trying to make a big deal about Gay Days?  Not so effective anymore.

A new study has been published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology entitled PERCEIVED PROPOSER PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS AND GENDER DIFFERENCES IN ACCEPTANCE OF CASUAL SEX OFFERS by Terri Conley.  

Say what? 

Yeah – it’s a study on what men and women look for when entertaining an offer to have a one night stand. A hook-up. Friends with benefits. Casual sex.

So what did the study find out?  That men and women are basically the same when it comes to deciding who – or more importantly, why – we decide to hook up with someone or not.
