And super cuddly kitten just farted on me.
Natter 63: Life after PuppyCam
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My boss just discovered he has a patent.
Years ago he worked for Motorola. He knew he had a patent pending, but he assumed Motorola had abandoned it and it had never gone through. But it did.
My work IT guy said that because I didn't take the battery out of the coffeed laptop, it could start a fire in my house. Then when I started getting upset, he sort of took it back.
Do we think I should go home (keeping in mind that since I take a bus, it will be about a 3 hour round trip.)
Is there anyway you can call your landlord or a neighbor to have them check on it? Just to set your mind at ease?
Why can't we just have well behaved neighborhood kids? Saturday the new kids on the block (literally), came over and played all day with no problem. Yesterday the 8 year old boy threw sand in Leif's face and bit Emaryn (no skin breakage, but still, biting!). He is now banned pending a talk with the parents. Emaryn still wants to be able to play with them. At least the other kid, a 6 year old girl, seemed to do just fine.
This is on top of 8 year old girl elsewhere on the block. She has problems with being physically abusive although her 6 year old brother is fine.
At least he's super cuddly.
If I become addicted to science blogs, I'm blaming Allyson.

Sophia, I wouldn't worry about it. If there was going to be a short and snap crackle pop stuff it would have happened right away. IMO

Because the truth is, some of what Oprah promotes isn't good, and a lot of the advice her guests dispense on the show is just bad. The Suzanne Somers episode wasn't an oddball occurrence. This kind of thing happens again and again on Oprah. Some of the many experts who cross her stage offer interesting and useful information (props to you, Dr. Oz). Others gush nonsense. Oprah, who holds up her guests as prophets, can't seem to tell the difference. She has the power to summon the most learned authorities on any subject; who would refuse her? Instead, all too often Oprah winds up putting herself and her trusting audience in the hands of celebrity authors and pop-science artists pitching wonder cures and miracle treatments that are questionable or flat-out wrong, and sometimes dangerous.
The article is long-ish and critical.
