Blogging: The Next Best Thing To Prozac

June 6, 2008 | Uncategorized

First the scientists discover that dark chocolate and red wine are good for you and now blogging!  Sign me up to be a guinnea pig for those studies! My friend Jeremiah, who actually IS a scientist, sent me this link from Scientific American about why blogging is good for you

Have a great weekend y’all!

    Thank you for affirming yet another of my, obsessions, I mean habits. Pretty soon you’ll be telling us that gummy bears contain antioxidants. Won’t that be swell?

  2. shayne says:

    Well duh.

    Where else can you rage/whine/preach/exhort/extoll/put your two cents in/talk about your mother-in-law issues/ask the big “why am I here” questions FOR FREE!!

    I mean what is the going hourly rate for a shrink these days? I bet it’s at least as much as a tank of gas!!!

    Now my life is complete! ;-Þ

    Whoo hoo!

    Now I just need a scientist to say it is good for me to spend mucho time each day reading blogs and not doing all the work I should be doing.

  5. Amyb says:

    AM, I enjoy reading your blog so much. I started the archives a while ago, and I’m on March 2006, and savoring every minute of it!! I’m not a mommy, nor am I antique, but your posts are ageless. Please never stop!

  6. Rocks In My Dryer says:

    Fantastic! We knew it all along, didn’t we?

  7. chaotic joy says:

    Well, duh. They sure used an awful lot of big words to explain what we already knew.

  8. Chels says:

    Thanks for the link!

  9. Jamie (Ohbecareful!) says:

    What? No. Blogging is a serious addiction, and you are an Enabler. You just enabled all of your blogging readers. FOR SHAME. (And thank you! I needed another excuse for bloggig, myself.) ;)

  10. Daneen says:

    Amen! not that I needed justification, but there you have it. Did I say Amen?!

  11. Beverlydru says:

    This is rich! I had to post about it too. Great news!

  12. RubiaLala says:

    Oh good. Now I can save money and cancel all my prescriptions.

  13. Tom says:

    Those wacky scientists and their studies. They’re always a few steps behind us, aren’t they?
    Blogging WHILE eating dark chocolate and drinking red wine, now THAT is stress relief.

  14. cyn says:

    So glad to hear I am so healthy! Interesting study. :)

  15. Marian says:

    Oh, this is good news. I’ve just finally started one this weekend.

  16. mama speak says:

    I must be the healthiest person alive! Like RIGHT. THIS. SECOND! Guess what I’md doing right now? Eating dark chocolate macadamia nuts, while sipping red wine and writing/reading blogs!

    Since I’m not really all that healthy, I guess it’s really scary to think how dead I would be if not for dark chocolate, red wine & blogging.

    :)

    I did note that the scientists neglected to mention the problem w/blogging into the wee hours of the night/ which might make you able to sleep better, it prevents you from the actual sleeping itself.

  17. SCY says:

    I knew there was a reason I did it - thanks for the link. :)

  18. Brighton says:

    It is good for me, however- it was not so good when my husband’s family sought it out and read it. Damn.
    Great link!

  19. Jane says:

    Totally convincing - now I have evidence for those family members who don’t see the benefits of blogging . . .

  20. Angela says:

    I always saw it as free therapy. Now I have proof!

  21. Soliloquy says:

    YAY! Permission! Documented proof that it is beneficial!

    Could we just change the above to MILK chocolate, WHITE wine and blogging?

    Then I’d be all set!
