Gross...
Good Saturday Evening All;
Before I go turn the sewing machine back on, I just wanted to do a bit of a recap.
Sure has been a busy week, and at times I have felt that my wheels were spinning. But that's OK kids. Personally, I would much rather be thinking than not.
To learn- or not to learn...
We learned a lot this week, if we were paying attention.
First and foremost to StangerDaze.
My most sincere sympathies on the loss of your good friend.
From the final comment here, she writes in reply to Pam, "Taking a moment to personally thank you for all your "tolerance", and "love". Got a phone call this morning. A gay friend of mine was found hung in his closet yesterday. He hung himself on Thursday. His mom found him. How would you feel if it was your son? Think about that before you say another word against homosexuals.
I have grown quite tired of you people. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP SPEWING YOUR HATRED!"
I notice that Pam has seen this comment; though predictably she has not replied.
What say you? Can we really afford to be that apathetic, ignorant, and unfeeling toward another life? How many others have done the same? WHY?
A "Mackerel Sky" -Read the comments here to find out what it is- what it means.
Thank you JoAnna!
From here. IQ and social maturity are not exclusive.
From here we see what real "work" is.
Of a list of 14 I wrote, 1. "You have a garden. 2. You cook 3 square meals a day"...
How many of us, obeying whatever excuse, do not even do those things?
(Let alone the other 12)?!?
We also learned how cute triplets can be! hehehe
* Other stuff I have learned this week---
* A quote from problogger Darren Rowse- “My advice to those commenting on blogs (not just mine) is that in a sense you’re visiting someone else’s home when you leave a comment. Comments have the ability to build up our tear down your reputation. They are a permanent record of who you are and what you stand for - so take care - be gracious - make sure they add value (not only to the blog you’re visiting but also to your own online profile)”.
* The most common types of skin cancers are:
- Basal Cell Carcinoma
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Melanoma
- Merkel cell cancer New 2008, Caused by "tumor virus" click
* There are too many recalls from the FDA and CPSC to keep listing them all.
* "Someone who's brilliant and engages in a lot of activities might reduce their risk of Alzheimer's disease for a while"
For a while? Click here to read that article on Alzheimer Disease.
* "Respect are country"
Click here for more gross misspellings on placard pics.
What the heck ever happened to academic integrity? Furthermore, you shouldn't have to look for these -misteaks- they should be apparent.
"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is." W. Churchill
* Bedbugs.
Click here to find out why you should be worried, no matter where you live.
And yes, they travel quite well, and happily, on your purses and backpacks.
Thought I would throw that in there for anyone about to crawl in the sack. hehehe

* Marijuana, medical, or otherwise.
I have just posted a link about this natural miracle drug.
Please click here to go there and read my link from Science News.
In short, our outdated laws must be changed!
"Why are those plants evil? Because they don't come in a bottle that says pfizer, Eli Lilly or Bristol Myers Squibb on the side." Bill Maher
This, quoted from here.
Here's a reality check on how skewed current law is: The majority of people arrested for simple marijuana possession are younger men of color, even though studies show white youth consume more marijuana. These rates aren't about sales of marijuana (although the rates are similar) – just possession. The impact of a misdemeanor conviction for marijuana possession creates barriers to finding a house, a job, and even a school loan. That's not good for anyone.
{For those in California} Flat-out prohibition of marijuana is failing. We need a solution that works. By regulating and taxing marijuana for adults, Proposition 19 is a step in the right direction. end quoted text
I'd better close. It is almost tomorrow!
Sleep well
