Dan, thanks so much for the link love both here this Friday and last with the chili flakes. You are an absolute doll!
I'm having a bit of a laugh on the link to the book about fear of death ... but only because its my number one fear. That link surely has my name written all over it, so thanks for that as well!
Happy weekend!
Any time Diva! Thanks for sharing your great content. Also, regarding the "fear of death" article, I'd encourage you to poke around and read more of Erin's site, she has a real knack for making her readers think.

Mmm potatoes Anna. Been meaning to try those. And Diva's recipes are always welcome links in my world.
Love the wallet post by Cheryl.
The NY Times web/delusion piece, and the blog post on it, were also very intriguing.
The post on fear of death is wonderful. I think I'm hesitant to admit that I sometimes fear it. But that fear only comes because of self-doubt. What I mean is, deep down I have a belief in something wonderful beyond this existence. I feel it to my core, though I don't know what it is. A faith, if you will. So only when I have times in my life when I doubt myself, in general, when I'm struggling through a phase, do I ever fear what death will bring, even though I know it doesn't serve me well. Seriously great article link Dan!
I'm so happy that these articles resonated with you Melissa, thanks so much for the feedback!

Thanks for the link love. I never even thought of my cold-flu cocktail as a possible H1N1 cure...Must start selling it as such!
