Warm Hands = Warm Finances?

Posted on November 03, 2008 by Her and tagged marriage

Brrr! It's cold outside and the American economy is freezing. But a new Yale University study might help us warm things up a bit. This study showed that simply holding a warm beverage in your hands can help you to think more positively of others. In fact, it can even help you feel that someone is "generous, sociable and good-natured." So if you and your sweetie are sitting down to have a serious financial discussion this winter, it can't hurt to make some hot cocoa beforehand!

No wonder Mr Chiot's and I have such a great relationship. We drink lattes every morning, tea throughout the day and cappucinos in the afternoon and usually some more tea or hot cider in the evenings.

You're on the right track there, Susy. ;)

But that study doesn't make much sense to me, I'm sorry to say. What about people in warm climates?
