It’s a silly question, really, but the more I try not to think about it the more it nags at me. Kind of like when someone says not to think about elephants. Suddenly you can’t think about anything BUT elephants.
My question isn’t about elephants, but outdoor furniture covers. It keeps nagging at my brain: if […]
Today I’m mourning the passing of a truly great individual.
I knew he was in poor health and not long for this Earth, but I only learned of his death when I Stumbled Upon this page:
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us […]
Why is it that on almost every old sci-fi tv show and movie you see, all the aliens in the universe speak perfect English, many with a British accent? I’m thinking mainly of Star Trek and Dr. Who. Now, I know, as any good Trekker would, that The Next Generation series writers implied in several […]
Now I know there’s something wrong with my brain. I usually keep up with a local e-mail list for people with junk unneeded items to give away. Just now I saw an announcement that someone not far from where the tornado went through recently had some bathroom vanities free for the taking.
When I read […]
Ever heard of Wikipedia? In case you’re one of the 6 or 7 internet users who haven’t, Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that allows anyone to log in and edit, update, or create articles. Their reasoning is that if you have the whole world updating your encyclopedia, it’s always going to be up to date. […]
Why is it that all the television ads for things like anti-aging products, E.D. medications, cholesterol lowering medications, and stool softeners have to be advertised during the national news - which I’m usually watching while I try to eat dinner.
When I’m trying to eat dinner, I don’t want to hear about some poor woman who […]
On a message forum I’m watching right now there’s a big discussion getting started because someone approached a blogger and asked them to write a post advertising a jewelry site. Compensation for this ad was supposed to be a chance at winning a $1500 pair of earrings.
I can understand the blogger’s puzzlement as to how […]
Drug Rehabilitation.
Think about that phrase. Does that not sound like one of the dumbest phrases ever invented, once you think about it? What reason would anyone have for trying to rehabilitate a drug? It seems to me that the process of rehabilitating a person who has been addicted to drugs should be called simply “rehabilitation” […]
I was just sitting here minding my own business, not bothering anybody, when all of a sudden, the theme from The Love Boat implanted itself in my brain.
Does anybody remember that show? I was an almost-teen when it premiered. I have to wonder if the crew of ships like that ever get bored with all […]
I was out handing way too much money to America’s largest retailer yesterday and as I was leaving the store there was the unmistakable sound of a car alarm.
This is nothing new, actually. It seems to me there’s a car alarm going off in that parking lot about every couple of weeks. It’s commonplace enough […]
