Somebody must have had this thought already, but I just had it now, so… Why is deodorant called deodorant and not reodorant? Decluttering makes sense. It turns a space from messy to clean. De-worming makes sense. It removes parasites from people and animals. Deforestation makes sense. It turns a forest into not a forest. But …

How In the World Do You Shop Online For Clothes?
I’m not just asking for the benefit of blind people like me, I really want to know how someone does it in general without it becoming an enormous pain in the ass. To be clear, I’m not talking about buying things like funny t-shirts or sports hats. I don’t even think I’m talking about underwear, …

In This Episode Of “I Wrote That?”…
Man, I’m getting forgetful. I’ve said it before, but it just keeps getting chucked in my face. The other day I wrote about some people who thought the world was ending. When I was looking around for something else, I found this post with nearly an identical title, from nearly 10 years ago to the …
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It?
So now, some weirdo is saying that because of a mathematical error, the Mayans actually predicted that the world will end today. It won’t, but the way things are going this year, if I was a little easier to scare, I might believe it.
Worst! Neighbourhood! Ever!
Maybe I’m the only one, but I’ve noticed that I don’t hear the term “of no fixed address” nearly as much as I used to. But I have heard it a few times in the last week or so including once just now, and it reminded me of being a little kid, listening to the …
Blogging Moistly
lyrics are here. This song has been chasing me around since I heard it. Any time I hear someone cough, any time I cough and I think someone might have heard me, any time we get a note in our door, it shows up. So now you can all have it in your head too! …
We Had Better Be Getting A Universal Basic Income Out Of This
I can’t imagine that I’m the first one to have this thought or to say it out loud, but I am a little surprised that I haven’t really heard it expressed yet. When all of this coronavirus business blows over and things get back to normal (whatever that means), we need to think long and …

The Hardest Part Of Our New Reality
Carin talked a bit about how it’s been for us being at home 99 percent of the time, and she’s right. For us, it’s been easy. We like each other, so that helps. And we’re each pretty decent at not annoying the other person, so that’s also solid. We also know each other very well …
How The Vomit Comet People Are Responding To COVID-19
Sorry…Too many emails… Lyrics here if you need them. So how are we doing? So far, we’re doing ok. I’m working from home, we’ve been told we’re working from home until at least May, being kept very busy because when everybody *has* to do their courses on line, problems come up that haven’t been dealt …

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble…If You Can
Many times I say I’m a weirdo. Now I know it for sure. I’m one of a small number of people who can make their ears rumble voluntarily! I can hear it now. “You can what?” Seriously. Ever since I was a kid I noticed that my ears made rumbling noises. I first noticed it …
