Is lazyness genetically inherited? Or is it just a habit that can be broken? (I'm not joking)

My 2 kids still sleep with their "Blankie". Daughter 15, son 11. It's fine with me but sometimes I wonder how long Blankies would last... I hope they last for a long long time. I never had a transitional object while growing up but now, seeing my kids, I wish I had one.

I'm looking to pick up a book on the Elder Futhark, if I can find one--I just went to Amazon.com and most, if not all, of what comes up are New Age, Neo-Pagan, Occult, whatever, books. I just want a scholarly book on the runes--nothing for spell-casting, tarot or whatever, just the runes, their meanings, their pronunciations, history, variations, that sort of thing. Anybody have any suggestions for a good read?

Only when I have enough hard evidence do I ever consider drawing conclusions that might fit the facts.
And then whenever new hard evidence turns up I reconsider everything and revise every conclusion that I have if necessary.
But it strikes me very clearly that many people do something very different.
These people latch on to what sounds like a "good idea" or they latch on to a "good idea" with the expectation of getting something that they are telling themselves they badly need, and then they start looking for evidence for the purposes of fending off critical attacks, but all they can come up with is soft evidence. The final twist in the tale is that they then use the same technique of justifying wishful thinking with soft arguments to convince themselves that their soft arguments are actually hard arguments when this is not true.
These people are so good at what they do that they can keep up the soft justification game for ever without even noticing what they are doing.

lol! I had this weird dream last night: I was shaving my hair for ages, but it kept growing back, unevenly.

Meanwhile, I was at the house of one of my friend's wife, but she wasn't married and was all flirty. Next morning all my stuff was in her house and I had to move because she was leaving to college.
Remember, the hair kept growing and I kept shaving it ALL the time.

Strange, isn't it? :)
