I'm glad to see my post yesterday started such an interesting conversation.

I wound up deep in her Argh Ink blog, too, trying to figure out what happened, and man, did she have a bad year. It was really heartening to read that post you linked, too. Thanks.

That's a good rage mix.

Chill the fuck out Luther damn.

And ha, I need to say this to myself all the time!

Yeah, I really relate, smonster. I do that stuff all the time, both the spending and the judging and the pontificating and then the more judging. Get over myself, self! Buy it or don't buy it, but don't spend so damn much time agonizing about it!

Yeah, she really had a sucktastic year. The good news is that her new doctor is confident that with current treatments she shouldn't lose her sight totally.

The stubbornness of Yorkies. .. does that come from their terrier roots?

I saw that. I never did figure out why she moved where she did, though, unless that's where the doctor is. I have a lot of respect for her, crazy as she can be, because she doesn't lie down, and she always speaks her mind, and she's willing to try new things.

Terriers can be pretty stubborn, but they are pretty clever and trainable.

Does anybody know a good lip shade that would work well alongside OPI's Got the Blues for Red? That's totally my favorite blue-toned red, and I think I would rock that lip color, but I don't know where to start looking.

Revlon Cherries in the Snow, MAC Russian Red, off the top of my head.

And then the second-guessing. Yeah. Eff that.

Do you know that most people in "developing" countries use their phones for Internet access? I read that somewhere and I at once was astounded and understood it.

Yep. And a number of public health applications are being developed to take advantage of the increasing ubiquity of cell signals. Diagnostic tools, education apps, etc. There's a program called mSakhi that provides counseling information to community health workers in some of the poorer Indian states to improve their work with pregnant women and newborns.

NB: My org's involved with the initiatives linked above, so I'm prejudiced in their favor.
