Monday Morning Mind Blow

Do you know RealAge? You take this wicked long test, and the program tells you how old your body thinks it is based on the information you give. Don't brush your teeth, live in a cabin alone and only eat carbs-- you're gonna add some some years to your age. If you are 30, your body might think it is 38.

Eat a lot of the good stuff, move around a bit, take your meds as prescribed and talk to real people on a regular basis and your body is going to think it's younger than it is.

And then, based on your answers, you get some emails telling you how to make yourself healthier. I haven't answered questions from them in a very long time, I can't even remember the last time I logged on to the RealAge site to find out how old my body thinks it is. Because I am diabetic, and was born when JFK was still alive I get emails about diabetes, menopause, and old people exercises. 

I also get emails on that account  from Powerschool. Poweschool tells me my kid's grades on a weekly basis so I can helicopter them better. I mean, so I can see what classes they may need extra help in.

Today I opened my email and saw this:



Monday Morning Mind Blow.

I'm not sure if I should call a tutor or a travel agent.

 Well played, RealAge.
