I just had an idea, when I talked with my sister after she watched American Idol tonight. I don’t normally watch it, but she does, so I asked her how many contestants were left. When she answered, I immediately said, “I can see this becoming the new way to teach kids math, instead of the […]
Every time I see one of these Payless Shoes “Buy One Get One Half Off” commercials, I sigh in frustration. BOGO means “Buy One, Get One”. Not “Buy One, Get One Half Off”. That, obviously, would be BOGOHO. Why do they not realize that? And, I suppose, a person who just can’t pass up every […]
For reasons I’ll get into some other time, my computer is on my dining room table right now and not in my office, where it belongs. The window that is behind me as I sit and work on the computer looks out over the parking lot in front of my apartment, and at the building […]
The dreams came in like needy children, tugging at my sleeve I said, “I have no way of feeding you, so leave”. Prince of Darkness – Indigo Girls Hmmm. Well. Ater I wrote and then re-read yesterday’s entry about food-addiction-related cravings, I was struck with how obvious it seemed. All the pondering I’ve done about […]
I hope I’m doing this right. I hope I’m allowed to use the graphic from the Thursday Thirteen site (this link doesn’t work anymore). It looks like a lot of other bloggers have created their own graphic. I could do that, if I end up doing this on a regular basis. If I understand it […]
This is sort of another old-entry rerun, from back when I had my old (2003-2006) online diary. I can’t seem to find the text anymore, but I remember what I wrote. It’s mainly the images that make the post, anyway. It went something like this. As a child, I followed Sister around and did pretty […]
So, I decided to participate in NaBloPoMo for June. It seems like a good month for it, as far as my work schedule and time availability. The theme for June is “Fan”. I’m not sure I’ll stay on theme all month, but it will be fun to try. Thinking of the word “fan”, though, reminded […]
Note: The content of this post might be a bit “adult” for sensitive readers. I have about a hundred things I’ve been wanting to blog about lately, but life is happening at a faster pace than I’m used to. I should be close to caught up soon, and I promise to catch up here as well, […]
So, November is National Health Blog Post Month. I didn’t actually know about this until today (and wouldn’t have been able to fully participate anyway, because of everything else that has been happening this month), but what a neat idea. (I did receive emails about it, but didn’t have a chance to look into it […]
This always kind of irks me, but then I have to laugh. It’s a Verizon message that comes up sometimes when we turn the TV on, and it says to press the Menu button on the Fios remote. All well and good, but what’s with the “otherwise, turn your TV off” part? Isn’t that just […]
