Are you afraid of snakes? Is your motto "A good snake is a dead snake"? It seems that people have had a fear of snakes from our caveman days or before. In your experience, have you noticed

that even babies have a natural fear of reptiles? In the old days, there were big snakes that would squeeze people to death, much like the boa constrictor does today. As time passed, people adapted and their eyesight became keener and able to detect nearby objects. This was handy in allowing them to see a snake and smack its head in with a shovel. On the other hand, the snake developed another way to kill people and animals. It is called venom and you do not want any.I remember my Mother was superstitious about snakes. She would say if you dream about snakes, it was bad luck and someone in the neighborhood would die. If a pregnant woman saw a snake, then something would be wrong with the baby.

 

President Obama dreamed about a snake the night before The Affordable Care Act became available online. There has been speculation about what he would do when he left office. The odds are, he will not be a website designer. It has been suggested that the National Security Agency should be placed in charge of the website. They have been tapping your phone for years and they already know everything about you. You just have to enter your name. Someone said that only about 12% of Americans are pleased with the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. But I do believe, that 100% of Republicans are pleased with the rollout. However, regardless of how you feel about the healthcare act. It is now the elephant in the room. There is no way to get it out through the door so we need to find a way to put that elephant to work.

 

A recent study has shown that walking backward can enhance your ability to solve problems. According to WEB M.D. magazine, walking backward might boost your ability to deal with a tough situation. You might say, "How does that work"? Well, here's the explanation. When we walk backward, our body senses that we are retreating and using an entire set of different muscles. Then that old "fight or flight" instinct kicks in. Our whole body becomes more alert and we are able to focus better. Maybe that is where the term, "step back and take a look at it" , came from. Now I was thinking, what if all the lawmakers in Washington and Montgomery would file out of the statehouses and walk backward for about 10 blocks? That may not solve all the problems, but at least they would need to turn off their iPhones and put down their newspapers for an hour.
