Alcoholism involves a physical dependence on alcohol, but other factors include genetic, psychological, and cultural influences.

On this Presidents Day, which one happens to be your favorite and why?

Although it is Washington's birthday, this day is also known as Presidents' Day. This is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of February.

This day honors presidents of the United States. The history of Presidents' Day has links to our national parks that is set aside to commemorate Washington, Lincoln, and other past U.S. Presidents.

A KISS IS JUST A KISS... NOT!

Submitted by ub on

A six-second kiss is one fun activity, which all couples can include in their shedules. It's long enough to feel romantic, it serves as a pause within a busy day and it creates a definite break between the work mentality and that couple’s togetherness.

This six-second kiss is a fraction of the five hours of time that happy couples are devoting to their relationships each week. Time spent intentionally focusing on their partners during reunions/partings also comprise an important component of the five hours that couples invest into their relationships each week.

This Week in History, Feb 17 - Feb 23

Feb 17, 1904
Madame Butterfly premieres. Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly premieres at the La Scala theatre in Milan, Italy. The young Puccini decided to dedicate his life to opera after seeing a performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida in 1876. In his later life, he would write some of the best-loved operas of all time: La Boheme (1896), Tosca (1900), Madame Butterfly (1904) and Turandot (left unfinished when he died in 1906). Not one of these, however, was an immediate success when it opened. La Boheme, the now-classic story of a group of poor artists living in a Paris garret, earned mixed reviews, while Tosca was downright panned by critics.

Another Washington temporary fix which was put in place on Jan. 1st, moved the new date of the Budget Sequestration to March 1st. On 3/1/13 $85.3 billion will be automatically trimmed from the federal government’s 2013 budget unless Congress acts to avert that legislation.

The US runs out of money on March 27th and hits the debt ceiling in May, at which point we would all begin defaulting on loans.

CRUISING FOR A BRUISING

Lawsuits and Congressional investigations are all on the way after a cruse ship ran afoul while drifting off the Mexican waters. This not love boat has been defined by some as a floating toilet, or a Petri dish on water, a floating hell...etc.

The cruise ship departed Galveston on 2/7 and three days later after it was 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a fire knocked out its primary power source, crippling the plumbing system and leaving the ship up a creek without a paddle, sort of speak.
