What? “cow guy with needle in haunch.” That came up in the “top searches” on my blog. I read it over and over thinking, “What?” And even more disturbing . . . “it sounds familiar.” The more I think about it, the more I think I know something about it, but I can’t remember what. This situation is very weird and disturbing to me. Cow guy with needle in haunch . . . . . . . . hmmmmm . . . it will come to me. I bet just as I am about to press publish I will remember and then I will have to scrap this whole thing and think of another post. It is at the edge of my brain. I am sure it has to do with a TV show that my husband and I watch because I have no other connection to a “cow guy.” I might have a connection to a needle in a haunch, but more like the skin of neck. Hmmmmm . . . . don’t you hate that? When you think something is familiar but you have no idea why? It is like that thing on the tip of your tongue. Or the thing on the edge of your brain or in the corner of your mind. But what I don’t know is why that is a top search on my blog. Even if I was searching for it because it has to do with a TV show we watch, why is it on my blog?
Next top searches are: wrist blood pressure higher than arm, granola for gout, piyo satya. The search terms used to be so much more useful but then a long time ago Google changed the way they did things and so the information we get on WordPress is pretty useless. At least WordPress claims it was Google’s fault for the change. I don’t really know. I do know that at one point I used the searches to sometimes come up with post topics. I figured if people were looking for the information I could write about it.
But in this case (“cow guy with needle in haunch”). I got nothing. I am somewhat wondering. Is it the cow with the needle in its haunch or the guy who has something to do with cows? Kinda sounds like there is a guy who has something to do with cows so he is called “cow guy” and HE has a needle in his haunch. What kind of needle? This search just really raises a lot more questions then there could ever be answers, don’t you think?
I kind of wish that people would have to explain WHY they were searching for the things they do. But then I think about it more and realize that something like that could actually be pretty terrifying. Eeeeek!
The highest search that comes up on my blog is the wrist monitor for blood pressure. Always surprises me. That is always the top search. Which takes people to my post Blood Pressure Monitors – It’s All In the Wrist.
In regards to that, a few months ago, my father, my husband, and I were sitting around the table and my wrist blood pressure monitor happen to be on the table. We were talking about the accuracy of it. My husband took his blood pressure. Then I took mine. After I took mine, my father said, “Oh so it doesn’t work. It must be broke.” And I just smiled and said, “I don’t know. Ok. Take yours.” Then he took his and it came up accurate according to his normal rates (my dad takes his blood pressure enough and has it taken enough he knows what his is). And he said, “Oh.” He felt it was pretty accurate. I always take it three times when I take it. I just took it now: 91/62 ❤ 55 and 103/65 ❤ 60 and 84/65 ❤ 60 I honestly think it has a lot to do with Nia.
Everyday I see more and more post on Facebook with links to how dance is really good for you. I don’t read any of them, because I know. I don’t read them because if you don’t like to dance then it doesn’t really matter. Me telling you that they have done studies about how great it is for your health, if you don’t like to do it, you’re not just gonna start because it is good for you. And I don’t need to read it for me, because I know. I do believe Nia helps blood pressure, just like any mind-body or body-mind practice.
Anyway . . . I started off wondering about an odd search term and ended up on blood pressure which brought me to Nia because I think Nia helps with mine. How is that for sitting down and just typing/writing?
What kind of search odd search terms do you see on your blog? Do you do any type of mind-body or body-mind practice? Yoga? Pilates? Meditation? Chanting?
