Here are some more information for Pairs Chopsticks:
Last Saturday we went to my brother David's house for a block party. It was humid. How unusual. It was also overcast and noisy and the streets were filled with kids running around. Some boys were playing basketball and trying to impress some cute girls who would rather be with the Jonas Brothers while younger kids thought eating until unconsciousness took hold was the order of the day.
And then there were precious little ones who drove the only man powered cars on the block...into my ankle.
I am not a regular visitor to block parties and all that goes on, but it is really geared toward the kids. They made smores along with their own ice cream sundaes, mummified willing victims with toilet paper and went on a scavenger hunt. With the help of my sister, Christine, the Cassidy team had chop sticks made out of twigs and a drawing of a fake nose as opposed to one of Michael Jackson's. So much cheating for only a second place spot. We demanded a recount.
At the end of the block was this huge inflatable obstacle course. It looked like a huge plastic castle and kids would work their way through it and then run right back on line. I saw all the fun these kids were having in comparison to me sitting around. I was having one of those, "if this is how we adults are supposed to behave - keep it" moments and decided that I needed to change. I decided I was not going to sit on the sidelines and just watch. I was going to risk limb, life and reputation (so overrated) and go for it. But not in a skirt.
Armed in a pair of shorts and my uncanny ability to forget my age, I got on line. I got a couple of looks. From the kids on line. I made faces right back at them. Mature immaturity is a beautiful thing if it is used for the good of all.
It was a blast. In that crowded space were 2 of my nephews, Joshua and Dylan, who helped me when I fell (a lot), my sister who was keeping up with me or was it the other way around and my 2 year old niece, Celeste, who was on her 2nd trip through this obstacle course. It was great to be legless and laughing like a goofy (albeit cool) kid. I just didn't care. I challenged myself to have a good old time and I did. I made it up the plastic rock wall on one trip (so there!) and was a bit disappointed when I saw I was at the end and had to go down the slide. Behind me came an assortment of family members and sweet Celeste who may not remember this time when her mother and I kept up with her, but I am sure that we will have time in between physical therapy sessions to remind her that we are not slowing down and missing out on the fun. Refusing to tap into our "child self" or thinking that we must act dignified at all times is so old.
Be a kid.
BTW, I did 2 miles on the treadmill the following morning. On an incline. Without screaming too much.

Making A Mental Breakthrough Using Chopsticks
I remember accompanying a friend of mine to a workshop and taking part in a little demonstration. We were put in teams of two. One person held a disposable wooden chopstick firmly in front of them with one end of the chopstick in each hand. Their partner took a business card and was instructed to break the chop stick with the business card.
My partner, Andrea, chose to go first. She whacked away with her business card until it was a pulpy mush. Other people whacked and smacked and swiped to no avail. It took a while, but eventually one person broke the chopstick. Then another and another succeeded. Now it was my turn. I took the card and made a bold swipe. The stick instantly broke in two. Andrea looked at me in disbelief. I just smiled. I did exactly what I imagined I would do.
I wish I could tell you that I’m always so successful. It’s not that I (and you) are not capable of these little (and big) victories in life. We are. But little nagging voices of self doubt come marching in like ants to a picnic. Those old, sad stories of how we aren’t good enough, or smart enough, or talented enough tug at our self confidence and stop our efforts before we start. I have heard these nagging doubts referred to as “your evil twin” mocking any attempt at success.
You can’t tell other people to shut up (not safely anyway) but you can tell your evil twin to take a hike. And you should – as often as the little creep whispers nasty nothings in your ear. As long as you believe these sad stories, they will continue to have power over you. Make it a practice to rewrite your life’s script and choose to believe the winning moments of your life as your model. Our actions are the direct result of what we believe we can do.
The proof of this is illustrated as my little story continues. I went home and repeated the chopstick demonstration to my 14-year-old daughter, Brittany. I got out a pair of chopsticks and a business card and tried to replicate my earlier success. There is something a little intimidating about a teenager’s disbelief and mocking smile. I took the business card and swiped it against the chopstick. It didn’t break. I took a moment and thought about my plight. What was different? It only took a second. A little self doubt had crept in. I paused, took a deep breath, mustered up the power I knew I had within me WHACK! The chopstick broke in two. Brittany was amazed. I was proud and relieved.
So what is the moral of this story? If we believe in our personal power, rather than focusing on our failures, we can be heroes in our own life story. So, don’t just sit there reading. Go out there and do something amazing. Chop, chop.

Well what someone told you may be true, but your NOT going to get sick from using chopsticks unless your outright chewing on them everyday to absorb all the bleach. This probably came from some extreme obsessive compulsive organic eating nature nut who might be wearing a mask 24/7.
Plastic forks are also made with chemicals but you don't hear people getting sick from them, odds are you probably have a much higher chance of getting sick from normal silverware at a restaurant that haven't be washed very well.
