Top Ten Best TV Theme Songs of All Time

10. Welcome Back Cotter
Cotter was one of the best ensemble series of the 1970s and the launching point for John Travolta's career. Try watching an episode without getting the theme song stuck in your head; it can't be done.
9. The Flintstones
Yaba Daba Doo! While this one did get annoying, it's a catchy tune that perfectly represents the fun spirit of the show.
8. Married With Children
This song is so loved by fans that many have refused to by the DVDs in which the theme is notably absent. This classic Sinatra song is great musically, but its main charm here is the intentional irony of using Sinatra's classy "Love and Marriage" as the intro into the exploits of the not so high-class Bundy family.
7. The Jeffersons
"Fish don't fry in the kitchen..." Another one of the most catchy TV themes of all time, You can't help but want to "move on up to the east side" when you hear this one.
6. Sanford and Son
Completely instrumental, jazzy, and perfect. I can't even identify the instruments used in this song (I'm not musically inclined.) but I can recognize the awesome.
5. The Simpsons
Winner of the National Music Award for favorite TV theme in 2002, as well as several other awards, the Simpsons theme is one of the most recognizable theme songs in television history, and remains an ingrained part of American Culture.
4. The X-Files
One of the most creepy theme songs around, hearing this always makes me want to turn on more lights.
3. The Adams Family
"They're creepy and they're kooky..." Possibly the most simple and catchy theme ever. Potentially annoying, but still a classic.
2. Seinfeld
No instruments, no words, only about ten seconds long, barely qualifying as a theme song, but totally classic.
1. All In The Family
A great show with a great nostalgic theme. The song itself is great, but it's the Edith Bunker vocals that earn this one the top spot on the list.

How to be happy. Four things to remember.

Remember that hateful people don't win by hating you, they win by making you hate them. We have all been angry. We have all felt hate whether we admit it or not. Your jaw clenches, the back of your neck and ears get hot, your fists clench and your mind is racing with every horrible thing you can think about this person who has wronged you. Typically this is a passing feeling as you react to something and once you calm down, it's back to normal for you. However, there are some people who stay in this place living in hate. Think about how you feel in that moment of intense anger. Imagine being trapped there all the time. This is the life of the hateful person. Think of them as a drowning person who is trying to pull you down with them. Or as I like to think of it, a hateful life is a lonely life and if I hate you and make you hate me, I'm not alone in that angry dark place anymore. You can't always transform hate, but you don't have to let hate transform you.

Canine Influenza: What You Need to Know to Protect Your Pet

Influenza affects millions of people every year; people rush to get flu shots every winter, and many become gravely ill from influenza infection. What a lot of people don't know is that our pets can get the flu as well. We don't usually think of our dogs getting the flu or coming down with a cold, but it is much more common than you might think. The canine influenza virus known as H3N8, was discovered in 2004 and has been found in cases throughout the U.S. This virus is commonly referred to as dog flu, however, this term is not favored by experts in the field as it creates confusion and leads people to falsely associate it with viruses affecting humans such as the bird flu and swine flu. It is important to note that this is specifically a virus impacting canines and is not transferable to humans. While H3N8 is not a direct threat to people, it is of specific concern to dog owners.
