Here is an incredibly cute video created by Cassidy Curtis and Raquel Coelho on how to make a baby.

Christine Adams tells the story of her aunt's determination to fight developers from destroying her cottage and moving her home brick by brick 100 miles away.

For May Savidge was determined to beat developers and planners who threatened to crush her historic cottage under a road-building project.

Long before conservation became fashionable, she decided to move her home lock, stock and barrel from busy Ware High Street in Hertfordshire to a Norfolk backwater 100 miles away.

And move it she did, in a 23-year labour of love, during which she battled the authorities, deathwatch beetles, rats and her failing health, accompanied only by her faithful dog, Sasha.

How do you know when you are truly in love?  Scientists from Stony Brook University in New York claim they have discovered true love.

Previous research suggested that the first stages of romantic love, a rollercoaster ride of mood swings and obsessions that psychologists call limerence, start to fade within 15 months. After 10 years the chemical tide has ebbed away.

The scans of some of the long-term couples, however, revealed that elements of limerence mature, enabling them to enjoy what a new report calls “intensive companionship and sexual liveliness”.

The researchers nicknamed the couples “swans” because they have similar mental “love maps” to animals that mate for life such as swans, voles and grey foxes.

The reactions of the swans to pictures of their beloved were identified on MRI brain scans as a burst of pleasure-producing dopamine more commonly seen in couples who are gripped in the first flush of lust.

“The findings go against the traditional view of romance – that it drops off sharply in the first decade – but we are sure it’s real,” said Arthur Aron, a psychologist at Stony Brook.

I was reading this CNN article written by Maureen Salamon and it got me thinking...  What wouldn't you do in front of your spouse? 

Would you fart or belch in front of your spouse? 

Would you let your spouse see you going to the bathroom?  (Number 1?  Number 2?  Or both?)

Would you sing to your spouse even though you know you have a terrible voice?  What about dancing?

Would you pick your nose?  Pick a wedgie?  Pop a zit?  Pick your teeth?

So what are your boundaries?  Share them in the comments.

We have yet to get our greedy little hands on our economic stimulus check, but it's been interesting reading about how others have been spending their checks over at How I Spent My Stimulus.

In January, Congress approved $152 billion in economic stimulus checks for millions of American households, intended to boost the economy and avert a recession. Just how this money will be spent remains to be seen. We hope this website helps shed some light on where the stimulus money is going.

Maggie spent $50 of her check on lottery tickets.  Too bad she didn't win.  How will you spend your check? 

Native Brit, Ian Usher, is auctioning his entire life in Perth, Australia to the highest bidder.

Mr Usher emigrated to Australia six years ago, and became an Australian citizen in 2006. "My life here is absolutely fantastic," he said on his website. "But I just want to make a clean break and start again, so I am selling everything, lock, stock and barrel, from the contents of my wardrobe to my kettle, and from my cutlery to my car. Laura and I chose the house together and intended it to be our family home. Despite my life being busy and fulfilled, I still miss my wife so much. Everything around me is simply a reminder of the wonderful past we shared."

The auction will begin on June 22.  In the mean time, Ian has started the website ALife4Sale.com, which gives details of the auction and what's up for grabs.
