Saturday's Silly Season . . . . . . . [:D] [:p] [:D] <br /> <br /> <br />'Friends' Were Real Friends to Many <br /> <br />When the NBC series "Friends" signs off in May for the last time, singles in America will miss more than a hit TV series. <br /> <br />A survey of 1,200 U.S. singles by Yahoo! Personals finds 75 percent of those surveyed say that Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler and Joey have become their "friends." <br /> <br />Sixty-two percent of single women across the country overwhelmingly agree Chandler is the character they'd most want to date, while 65 percent want to marry him. <br /> <br />Forty-six percent of the single men favor Rachel to date and marry, while only 17 percent favor Monica. <br /> <br />For the show's end, 75 percent of singles are hopeful Ross and Rachel will end up together. <br /> <br />--------------------------------------- <br /> <br />Many Fail to Deduct Mortgage <br /> <br />Uncle Sam gives homeowners tremendous tax breaks, however, many people don't take advantage of them. <br /> <br />According to the most recent report from the U.S. General Accounting Office, more than 2 million people failed to itemize their mortgage interest, mortgage points and real estate taxes. <br /> <br />As a result they overpaid $945 million dollars -- they each could have saved roughly $438 per person from their federal income tax. <br /> <br />Bob Walters, chief economist at Quicken Loans, says homebuyers often fail to deduct points a seller pays on their behalf, which also may be tax deductible. <br /> <br />--------------------------------------- <br /> <br />Teen Obesity, Lack of Exercise <br /> <br />A California study finds the lack of physical activity is the most significant risk factor contributing to obesity in 11- to 15-year-olds. <br /> <br />In the study, published in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and San Diego State University find the proportion of overweight adolescents has increased significantly in recent years. <br /> <br />"Daily activities such as walking to school, physical education classes, after-school activities, chores and general playing have been replaced with a sedentary lifestyle in front of the TV, computer or video games," says Ken Germano, president of the American Council on Exercise. <br /> <br />From the ArcaMax website. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
