OH OH OH! ita and other migraine suffers - From NPR this morning

From my perspective, if this guy really wanted to help people, not just make money for himself, he would have conducted some scientific tests of his theories before writing this book.

That's not to say that environmental triggers aren't important for migrane. There's lots of important research being done on the topic. It's just not being done by this guy. He's too busy making money pushing unproven ideas.

This has got to be a scam. I just tried to forward it to Paypal's spoof@paypal.com to check it out, and I'm getting a warning that forwarding it will result in my e-mail being verified as accurate and may result in more spam.

Am I being scammed, or do I click it?

Definitely don't click. Log in to PayPal separately and look for anything suspicious. Then you can forward the email to their spoof at paypal dot com email. I get them three or four times a month.

eta: Definitlely a scam. You could always copy the body of the email and send it in a new message, rather than forwarding. Might thwart the verification.

I have a stupid math question. I'm quite sure I have the right answer, but...

Say you have an object shaped like...okay, say you have a drum. If you're measuring the diameter of the head, that's measuring end-to-end, straight across the circle, right?

Measuring all the way around the circle would give you the circumference. The diameter is the length of a line bisecting the circle. Yes?

Yes.

And the radius is half the diameter.

Yep, Dana. You've got it.

(skip-and-skim catch-up post)

Kathy, do NOT click it. It's a scam.

sarameg, I hope everything turns out okay for Mister Kitty.

Endearments: I use them a lot. I try not to at work, but I call just about everyone I know "sweetie", "pumpkin", "darling", "my dove", or other random terms of endearment at one point or another.

Perfume/scents: Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Pink Moon, mixed with chocolate. I smell like a very expensive (and pink!) box of chocolates.

Thanks, guys. You'd think that musicians would have a handle on math, but maybe not if it's anything more complicated than counting to four over and over again.

I rarely wear scent. I dunno exactly why. I guess because a lot of other people's perfumes are overpowering and I don't want to be that way. I will occasionally wear scent when dating, but very mild. Ideally, I want it to mix with my own scent and be something so subtle that people don't even realize I'm wearing it until they catch some similar scent somewhere else and automatically think of me.

When the construction was in one of its worst periods here, I was crashing at my ex's. I'd forgotten my shampoo and conditioner so I used his. Big mistake. I couldn't stop thinking of him all day.

I use Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap, so there's that scent. I LOVE the scent of Trader Joe's Refresh shampoo. I occasionally use rose water. I also like clove-scented things.

I deleted the e-mail, and I cannot believe I was almost fooled by it. They're really good at their scam, that's for sure!

Endearments: I call kids and dogs "sweetie" and "honey," but that's it, and I sound like a truck-stop waitress when I do so.

I used to use perfume back in high school and college, but stopped after graduating. I have some perfumed lotions, as well as a few scented bath stuff, but hardly ever use them.

In mememe news, just got back from finishing off the paperwork for my new apartment, as well as getting the keys and actually seeing the unit for the first time (before this, I only saw the sample unit they have set up in the clubhouse). Sure enough, it's a bit smaller than the sample, so I'm going to have the movers trash my old loveseat instead of move it, and I'll probably end up putting two of the bookshelves in the dining area instead of just one. I will probably drive up with some stuff on Sunday and make sure they finished cleaning the place up (they just installed new carpet, so it's a bit of a mess today), as well as fill out the move-in checklist so I don't get blamed for any problems when I eventually move out.
