100 of the greatest Catholic quotes

Completely randomly yesterday I came across this: 100 of the greatest Catholic quotes! So seeing as my last post was on quotes, I thought it would be great to link it here! Some of them are really good!

In other news, yesterday I spent some 5 hours trying to critically evaluate a paper on the use of dolphins to help reduce depressive symptoms in people with mild/moderate depression (the bottom line is that yes, they did find that interaction with dolphins did manage to reduce depression, but there were only 13 people in the test group, and 12 people in the control group, so there is some question as to the reliability). (Also, the study took place in Honduras on a private nature reserve, so if you ask me the sun, sea, warm and gorgeous environment probably helped too!!)

Rather amusingly, last month Carmel had written a little post about this very study on her blog!

at the moment I am also trying to collate together all the studies I can find about NFP so that I can send them to that doctor from the other day.

ps- Welcome to Jessica!

pps- Does anyone know how to link attachments onto blogs (e.g. word documents?)
thanks

I thought it was pretty cool that you were evaluating the dolphin/stress issue! I thought it was so interesting but think it's more interesting that you then went on to study this lol.
All the best for the NFP stuff, I think it's such a great thing you are doing there. You inspired me to actually pick up my book again as I had left it on the shelf for a while.
Well it sounds like you are busy! And I wish I could tell you about the attatchments from other blogs, I have no idea, although I sometimes copy and paste them onto my blog and then link back to the persons blog where I took it from.
