Most people think when one partner cheats on another, it's a physical affair.  But there is a different one that is equally as dangerous.  Financial infidelity is cited as the #1 cause of divorce.

What is it, why does it happen and how can you prevent it?

I like loud music and apparently the current crop of kids also likes loud music. A new study--which studies two studies--found that the number of kids suffering from hearing loss has jumped 30%. Kids we interviewed said they listen to their music at the highest volume possible and with those little ear-buds it can get pretty loud. One girl said she listens to her MP3 player for up to ten hours a day and by the time she unplugs--her ears are ringing.

A doctor told us today that temporary ringing is a signal to back off the volume.

One kid told me he's not concerned about hearing loss because he's confident technology will cure his problem when he gets older.

He's 16-years old and already has a hard time hearing--for his sake--I hope he's right.

This just in: Smartphones are nasty and we have the culture dishes to prove it. We swabbed six smartphones and four of them came back with lots of bacteria--even E. coli. Yep. E. coli.

Here's the deal--we keep our phones in our pockets and purses next to nasty coins and whatever is buried at the bottom of a purse. Oh, then there are the elevator buttons and door knobs that we touch--and then we touch our phones. Just follow the germ trail all the way to the surface of your touch screen phone.

An infectious disease expert suggested treating your phone line an elevator button or door knob--wash your hands after touching them. Also, check the information supplied with your phone and find out how you can safely clean it without damaging it.

Who knew? iGross.

It must be tough being a kid in the internet age. Back in the pre-internet era kids either played outside or watched TV--now they can spend hours surfing the internet--that is until GetNoodles interrupts the fun.

GetNoodles is a new downloadable program that parents can set to interrup whatever kids are doing online every 5, 10, 15 minutes--it depends on how annoying mom or dad really wants to be. Here's the trick: The kids have to answer an age appropriate question--it can anything from learning a new language to math. If they answer the question they get go right back to whatever they were doing before they were interrupted--if they don't answer correctly--it's back to the drawing board until they get it right.

Back in pre-internet age that would have never happened--and it's a good thing because I'm still terrible at math.

Thinking your way to climax.

It is medically possible and being done more than you might think.

A New York woman started doing it in the 1980's as a safer, alternative sexual outlet.

Think well!!!

It was such a somber scene in Irving, where police say a mother strangled her two children and then called police to say she had done something, "terrible".

No parent can imagine harming their own child and that is what makes covering a story like this so unfathomable. We have scene it before with the Andrea Yates of the world, claiming postpartum depression.

We will have to wait a see what the motive was for this 30-year old woman to harm her two toddlers. We do that as we shed a tear for these innocent victims.

I haven't blogged much the last week or so because I've been learning--very slowly--some new internet duties and in the spirit of not getting home at midnight I just slacked off. What I've learned is not a 12-step process--think more along the lines of 212 steps. I thought I would never get it down but I have surprised even myself. What does all of this mean? Now when you click on my stories everything you see--from pictures that support the story to the copy is all me. I have to give credit where credit is due--all the video and editing comes courtesy of our crack photographers.

I wish I could have someone else to blame when things don't look quite right but that's what happens when you never stop learning.

The heat advisory for North Texas lingers, so parents looking to cool off at a spray park should know that there are new rules in place to make the experience safer.

In May, a new law took hold that requires spray parks to follow the same regulations as swimming pools when monitoring for cryptosporidium, a parasite. 

Many hope the added precautions will prevent an outbreak like the one two years ago that sickened hundreds of people across the region. 

Australian researchers followed 2,000 pregnant women and evaluated them 21-years later and the ones that were overweight during pregnancy were 5x more likely to obese in two decades.

We interviewed a young mother who is in the 1st trimester of her second pregnancy and she said the only time she has been oveweight was after the birth of her first child. She was lucky and able to shed her pregnancy weight but many others aren't as lucky.

When it comes to excessive weight gain of any kind-there will be some pain.
