Cougars, The Hunters or the Prey?

In my office's ritualistic walk to Starbucks this morning, Trish and I were discussing Life of Red and the "Hot Young'un". I suggested she check out the developing discussions with Menace in the comments section. Seems Menace and I have both made realizations as to how the next generation views… hmmmm…. Sex and the older woman.

Well, Trish tells me " MILFs are out "Cougars are in". I must have had a strange look on my face because I had no idea what she was talking about. Cougar? The animal? What is a Cougar? Evidently, the discussion, and definition, of "Cougar" is everywhere including the Morning Shows.

"MILFs are out "Cougars are in." say the College Boys. I find this a bit strange since MILF always seemed to be a statement or label placed on someone, where as this college website defines Cougar as a way of life.

Urban Cougar defines the cougar into groups, or should I say packs. Valerie Gibson has written a book about Cougars. Ms. Gibson says that Joan Collins started this trend and it has become more popular today, which is evident by Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Susan Sarandon, to name a few. She goes on to explain that the Cougars are not only the hunters but also the prey that are seeked out by the younger men

And Urban Dictionary has a plethora (I love this word) of definitions for

Hot Young'un

Since I have been PMSing, and I was stood up by a loser last week… it's a bit difficult not to be a little down.
So Friday night I hung out with some friends since I didn't have a date. On the way home we stopped to see some other friends. These friends had a Hot Young'un amongst them. I find out on Saturday that the Hot Young'un asked about me and several times to boot.
I said, " What is he… 5?"
And the response was "No… He's 24"
Again, I replied, "Like I said 5."
Now it's Sunday and I hear that my friend bumped into the Hot Young'un again. As they are about to part Hot Young'un says "I shouldn't tell you this but last night as I was having sex with my girlfriend… and all I could think of was the Redhead".

Can I tell you how I SOOOO needed to hear something this?!?!

Lactose Intolerance

Hello my name is Red and I'm Lactose Intolerant (head hangs low in shame). Why you ask? Well if your not lactose intolerant you should understand for your own safety. I didn't understand until I was informed of my… uh um… problem.

What is lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the major sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into two
simpler forms of sugar called glucose and galactose, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream. Not all people deficient in lactase have the symptoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance, but those who do are said to have lactose intolerance.

What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
People who do not have enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose they consume may feel very uncomfortable when they digest milk products. Common symptoms, which range from mild to severe, include nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Symptoms begin about 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. The severity of symptoms depends on many factors, including the amount of lactose a person can tolerate and a person’s age, ethnicity, and digestion rate.

In other words… If you know someone who is lactose intolerant and you see them eating or drinking dairy then stay way because they are going to FART!
Unless of course... they get the pills and actually take them.
