Science.....hah!

So last night I was cleaning old clothing out of my closet....stuff I hadn't worn since 3 sizes ago. I held up some sized 12 shirts, shirts that now seemed teensy to me, and remembered feeling like a fat cow 5 years ago while wearing them. Whatever!?! I jammed them into the bag heading for GoodWill. It's hard to not feel a bit depressed about how you've let yourself go. Ugh.

So this morning on the news I hear that scientific research proves depression is linked to the size of your waist line. Well no duh, Einstein. What chuckle head figured THAT out? Better yet, who gave that chuckle head a grant to discover what women all over the planet have known since the dawn of the calorie? Is science like the movie industry...when you run out of stuff to study you just go back and re-discover crap? Coming up on News at 11:00....gravity keeps stuff from flying off into space!

Can I have a grant? I want to study the link between depression and having no money. Or the link between depression and having no job. Or the link between depression and democrats in office. Someone want to pony up that dough?
