Let me Tel…ephone You A Story
When I read this story, I almost cried. A library in Prince Edward Island has set up a way that kids can phone in and have a story read to them over the phone. This is because, more and more often, parents just don’t have time to read to their kids anymore, and some of …
Contraband Broccoli?
This story makes me giggle. I saw it a month ago, but it didn’t push the right buttons then. Today, it does. Sadly, I had to get the link for it out of the google cashe because it has fallen off the original page where it was found. Yea google cache. It all starts with …
Travel Insurance Hell is Over!
Well, it looks like my travel insurance saga is over. After the clinic sent me notice after notice demanding to be paid, and finally threatened me with a collection agency, I called the travel insurance folk. They told me that they had been sending the clinic in San Rafael letters, but they hadn’t gotten a …
And While I’m Ragging On Beeping things…
Wow. I’m just on a ragging on things theme aren’t I? This weekend, Steve, Barbie, and I got talking about something that always made me raise my eyebrows whenever I thought about it.

My Criminal Mind Is All I…Need to Get Locked Up Forever.
I really don’t know how to feel about this story. I’m completely conflicted. Michael Monyelle, 30, is being labeled as a sex predator, which means indefinite commitment. This is not for things he did, but for thoughts he has. I get that they were deviant thoughts, and it was to do with children, so in …

Duck Hunt!
Wow! Who knew what I’m about to describe would be so cool? Remember Super Nintendo? Remember the gun? Remember Duck Hunt? No? Damn I feel old! Well, if you do, and you’re blind, you can play Duck Hunt again, only this time it’s on your computer! Liam over at L-Works has created the computer game …
A First Time for Everything
I really don’t know how to start this post, so here goes. Thordora over at Spin Me I Pulsate has this thing she does called the pulsate olympics. She gives us a topic, asks us all to write about it and link to her in the post, she reads them all, and some lucky someone …
