changing albums...well copied the idea

I have switched systems. I'd been wanting to do it since reading Stacy Julian's The Big Picture. I love it. I feel like a weight has been lifted...kind of like how I feel after wearing a bra all day only to release them at night and oh the relief! One album is all about us. It has a section for Shane, I, and each of the kids and one for the dog. Then there is a holidays album. A places we go album. A things we do album a birthday album and I still have one binder that I haven't filled yet! I'm completely content.

Went to Target today because my son wanted a new book to read after his testing periods are over with tomorrow. They are doing the TASK tests and today he had three hours of sitting after he was done. Who am I to say no you can't get a book. We went looking and I found a book called Why Do Men Have Nipples? One or both of the authors are doctors so I picked it up and for a cheap price I can have answered all the things I've been curious about for years. Here's some below...and do I have to refernce them...you know which book I'm talking about. Also, I have it on good authority that Tricia will be starting her blog tomorrow. I helped her upload pictures to www.scrapbookpictures.com today and feel confident she will be posting tomorrow....it's entirely possible she lets us down but here's to the hope of it all! Some examples below:

What causes rumbling in your stomach ?
boborygmi-gas being moved through the intestines.
A normal part of digestion. Generated from muscular activity in the stomach and small intestine as the food and gas and fluids are mixed together and pushed through the intestine...louder when the stomach and intestine is empty.

Why does poo float?
It is gas that makes poo float. Increased levels of air and gas make it less dense and threfore cause it to float.

Where does gas go when you can't fart?
If it doesn't go out it simply goes away.

Why can you ignite a fart?
an avg. fart is composed of 59 % nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9%carbon dioxide, 7%methane, 4%oxygen. Less than 1 percent of it's makeup is what makes a fart stink.
Temp. of a fart at time of creation is 98.6 F
Farts have been clocked at a speed of ten feet per second.
A person produces about half a liter of farts per day.
Women fart as much as men.
The gas that makes your farts stink is the hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas contains sulfur.
Most people pass gas 14 times per day.
Farts can be ignited. This is due to the hydrogen and the methane. The proportions depend largely on the bacteria that live in the human colon that digest, or ferment food that has not been absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract before reaching the colon.

So is this completely boring to you or are you as fascinated by it all as much as I am? If I find some I find interesting or think others would like to know I'll throw it out there for you! As you can see I sound a little obsessed with gas...my husband is the king of it so yes I'm really reading to find out if it can be stopped. After reading it just goes away there is no more excuses for him like,"it's not healthy to hold it or I can't just keep it in there." Yes he can! Liberated in more ways than one today...good things.
