Play it as it lays

I got something important done today. I didn't pass part of the test but the guy passed me anyway. I wasn't expecting that but then I got an official picture that looks absolutely horrible, but I'm legal. So I came out of there, surprised, relieved, and nonplussed all at once, into the suburban sunlight. I came to a different part of town...

ribose

I've run across online accounts of young people who developed health problems after taking Ribose. They were on low carb diets at the time. Symptoms include proteinuria (protein in the urine), foamy urine, and swelling of the abdominal area.

I Went to the Revolution . . .

occupy movement

I went to join the revolution but the revolution was baked. I wanted to join the Occupy movement in my area. Every time I went to their website they were having several four hour "organizational" meetings per week to organize a hundred people in a occasional demonstration. When they would have a demonstration, they might list the date as "Thursday." Becau...

extreme weather

At three in the morning on Monday, lightning struck my building. The roof rumbled and shook. Stacks of pots and pans in my apartment shook by themselves. Nothing they touched was shaking.

There have been weird lightning storms for days, louder than ever before in my life. The strikes near my home have been louder than a pipe bomb. The night before lightn...

errands, car registration, city and 3 more...

I got my P.O. Box rent paid with two hours to spare. There was an unusual amount of oncoming traffic but I cut through it with the patience of other the drivers. I put a check in the mail. I got some baby carrots to eat later. I went to the suburbs where the city office is usually not crowded. There was a crazy roadwork project that blocked off the highway...

Prayer Lines

prayer, prayer lines

Following is a list of functioning prayer lines where someone will pray with you. Not all advertised prayer lines exist. Some are just a voicemail; others are less than that. Organizations seem to be fairly careless about claiming to have a prayer line when they don't. There's room for improvement there. Some of these prayer lines ask pointed...

Tell us one thing about you:

I hoard imaginary animals.

Tell us one thing about you:

I am like a pack animal. At any given time I may have two bottles of water, fruit, three to five types of herbal medicines, disinfectant wipes, and more with me. There may be more stuff in the car. Right now there...

incandescent light bulbs, ban

Effective New Years Day 2012, it will be illegal to manufacture 100 watt incandescent light bulbs in the United States.

Public Law number 110-140, or the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, would gradually phase out incandescent light in the United States in the next few years. After the 100 watt bulb is phased out, they will phase out the 75...

Just discovered these lost blog entries from 2008 while cleaning out some emails. Maybe it helps to know that I deal with multiple disabilities and a less than optimal home situation. This seems to have been a more high-functioning time.

Random Cheap Wines

wine, red wine and 7 more...

I tried asking knowledgable people what wines they'd recommend. I ended up spending more money on wines I didn't like. So to hell with that. I'm going to buying random cheap wines and see what happens.

I don't recommend Naked brand Cabernet Sauvignon. It is supposed to have less of an Oakey taste than other red wines but it still...
