What a question

♥ 30 November 2004 , Tags : , Comments Off

I keep getting spam messages with this title:

Are You Lonely or Horney?

Uhhhh, are these my only options?

Ohhh, now Flash can read your mind! (Actually, it’s a trick, and I got Andrew to tell me how it works, but I won’t say to spoil the fun.)

Happy Thanksgiving

♥ 27 November 2004 , Tags : , Comments Off

Yeah, I know it was Thanksgiving in the States a couple days ago, but we’re having a family get-together here this evening for Thanksgiving. Just family members and some elderly family friends who have been ill, nothing fancy. All the food will be cold except for the pumpkin soup we’ll have as the first course. Not exactly traditional (though we do have turkey and cranberry sauce), but it’s too hot to do all that roasting and stuff.
Anyway, Happy (belated) Thanksgiving. I’ll be thinking about how cold it probably is in the northern part of the U.S. while I eat my potato salad and cold turkey and ham and pumpkin soup, okay? (Don’t worry, when I’m complaining about the cold on the 4th of July, y’all up there can be having a barbeque).

Interesting GoogleAds

♥ 25 November 2004 , Tags : , Comments Off

I noticed today (and I’m not sure how long it’ll last) that all the Google Ads (wayyyy down at the bottom of the page) are showing stuff to do with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, no doubt because I mentioned it not too long ago.
The thing is, I probably don’t have CFS. I mean, CFS and Fibromyalgia/a> have lots in common, and I’ve heard it said that if your primary complain is fatigue you get the CFS diagnosis but if your primary complaint is pain you get an FMS diagnosis, but they’re not really the same thing. CFS is viral. Nobody knows (yet) what causes FMS, although some research points to misbalanced neurotransmitters, i.e., serotonin, the root of so many other problems and mental illnesses (misbalanced serotonin causes all kinds of havoc in the brain and sometimes body, and I’ve got a very long history of problems regulating it).
Anyway, I’m posting this partly just because I found it interesting (and I actually like GoogleAds, I find them unobtrusive and tasteful and frequently useful), and because maybe if I write FMS and Fibromyalgia enough times some Fibromyalgia/FMS links will show up…

Only Using Part of Your Brain? Think Again

When ferrets watch the mind-bending movie The Matrix, brain activity is only slightly higher than when they stare at nothing. Scientists say this might mean something about how much of your brain is in use.
 
Ferret brain activity increased just 20 percent when looking at Keanu Reeves compared to looking at darkness, the study found.

Morons in the Whitehouse

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Do you have NT? Visit the NT information site and find out. After all, tragically, as many as 9625 out of every 10,000 individuals may be neurotypical.
