It’s time to mine the last “Sleep Talkin’ Me” post for comments and spend a good amount of time laughing at myself. I’ve built up quite a compendium. Carin: Oh gees. Me: What? Carin: I hear mom and dad’s new cat. Me: You do? Carin: Yes. It’s going to be here in a second. Me: …

If You Think Our Related Posts Plugin Is On Drugs, It Kind Of Is
On the blog, we have a related posts plugin. It is supposed to find posts related to what you just read. But for a few weeks, it’s been horking up complete and utter randomness, or so I thought. Although it’s amusing what it brings up, it’s not exactly doing it’s job to the best of …

Baby Steps Towards Easier Voting
I tried to write this yesterday, but a storm came through, and for reasons I need to figure out, my UPS was a little shorter on the U than I expected, so my computer died sooner than I thought and took my post down with it. So here’s take two. *slams the save button* It’s …
I Had To Do Some Rapid Tests
This past Tuesday I had to do one of those at home COVID tests, with Aira’s help of course. After I figured out what all the doodle bobs were for, it wasn’t too crazy hard, but of course I would have been screwed if I didn’t have Aira because I wouldn’t be able to look …
All Of The Sushi
I totally identify with this song. I never thought I would like sushi, but slowly I started to realize that yup, I sure do. But Steve is not a fan. So if I want it, I just have to order one of those wee boxes. Or sometimes I go out with friends who like it. …
Bernie, Bernie, Bernie The Computer Doctor…
I don’t know why this song appears in my head when I have to call these guys, but it does. I’m realizing that we have lived in this town for nearly ten years, and have used the services of Bernie the Computer Doctor, and I have never given them a plug, and that’s a shame. …

So I Guess I’m A Hermit.
Allow me to start by saying thanks, Chris, Thanks a lot. As of right now, I don’t think I have had COVID yet. I might have had it in October when I got a particularly clingy flu-ish thing, but since I never got tested, I’ll never know. But if it’s true that I haven’t had …
Feel The Beams
It’s official. The mind beams are alive and well. Once again, Valentine’s Day came rumbling at me at full steam. But on about February 9, I had an inspiration. I had heard about these boxes of chocolates with a Braille legend, so you can tell what chocolates you’re eating. I snuck off to my computer …
A Whole New Wordle
So…this Wordle thing…I talk way too much about it. After I discovered the ways to make it accessible, I excitedly told mom and dad about it. Of course, they already knew. So on days when the Wordle is super hard, I’ll get a text about it. I got talking about it to friends, and I …
I Smell a Rat…Because I’m Negative!
So Aira has a promotion where people can get free minutes to do COVID-testing-related things. I guess they’ve had to help a lot of people do at-home rapid antigen tests. I was intrigued by this, because even with someone on a phone directing me, it sounded pretty hard to do. Like, how do I get …
