Ah, it’s that time of year again. Resolution time. I’ve written about this before, and my opinion is that you should pick one thing that really matters to you and focus on that. This year I am giving up sugar! All of it! *peeks* Do you believe that? No? Good, because not even I can. […]

Enough with the Vegan Stuff
Posted in Home Poor Home, Random Thoughts, tagged Diet, Vegan on November 5, 2019 | Leave a Comment »
First, let me make it clear I have nothing against people who choose to eat vegan. What other people want to eat is none of my business. I just wish the rest of the world would return the favor. Let me check my news article sites. Hmm. Why I should be a vegan. Why the […]
My Version of Comfort Food

I love to write. I really do. So why is my blog, something I think about dozens of times a day, so empty? It’s mostly a matter of energy. I’ve had some flare-ups of my medical issues, including a round of bursitis in my hip that is still causing me great pain. Bills having me […]
A Rant From a Scientist
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged Google Doodles, Science on May 10, 2019 | Leave a Comment »
Normally random things on the internet don’t bother me. And the Google daily doodles are usually pretty inoffensive. But today’s does. Now let me be clear, I have nothing against their choice. Lucy Wills did marvelous research, and is the reason pregnant women take folic acid. She is fully worthy of all the praise that […]

I had planned today’s post to be a joyous celebration. After being without a computer for several months, I’m finally back and raring to go on my blog. It feels so good to be back at my keyboard. But I can’t be too happy today, because of the news from Paris. I haven’t discussed it […]
Throw Those Resolutions Away
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged Health, New Year, Resolutions on January 2, 2019 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, my friends, it’s that time of year again. When we all swear to lose weight, organize our lives, get in shape and just generally stop floating through life. Like most people, I’ve tried to have New Year’s resolutions. The problem with them, though, is that we try to fix everything at once. So here […]
Crazy Algorithms
Posted in Random Thoughts, tagged Internet Weirdness on January 1, 2019 | Leave a Comment »
More and more our lives are being controlled by mathematical calculations. Algorithms determine the results we get from search engines, the ads we see on the internet, the posts we see on Facebook. They are also the only thing that explains the very unsuitable videos that are recommended to me on Youtube. First, I have […]
At last, the end…

Of junk mail season. Oh, okay, election season. And the end, however temporarily, of the same commercials flooding television, radio and websites. This blog is a politics-free zone, so my complaining is strictly non-partisan. Why don’t politicians realize that a rectangular chunk of high-gloss four color card stock has a very tiny chance of changing […]
