“Mindbloom Is a Game That Rewards You For Living a Rich, Full Life”
This seems pretty ridiculous to me, but I can see how it might help some people. If it does, I’m all for it.

Hypoglycemia
I had an interesting, if uncomfortable, experience last night. GoddessJ has been a member of a local gym for several years, and this year she got me to join — I go to help keep her motivated. A few weeks ago, while using the weight machines, I started feeling extremely nauseous and had to stop. …
“How To Fight Fair”
One family I know (whose identity will not be mentioned to protect the guilty as well as myself) is well-known for their knock-down, drag-out, no-holds-barred battles. When they get into arguments, their opponents are called every name in the book and accused of the most heinous crimes against humanity, whether the names or accusations make …
Fun With Wildlife, Again
A couple weeks ago, we discovered several holes dug into the ground around our garden shed. It looked like something had decided that under the shed was a good place to make a den. The family grapevine said that GoddessJ’s uncle G had a neighbor with a live-capture trap he could borrow, so we gave …
And now, the news…
I think the spammer registration problem may be dealt with, at least for the moment. Since I added the new layers of defenses, only one spammer account has gotten through the first layer of registration (which checks its information against multiple online databases of known spammers). It failed the e-mail confirmation step and was auto-deleted …
Amazing…
While I was living in Maryland, maybe sixteen years ago, we had a couple really nasty ice storms one year. As in, a long overnight session of freezing rain that coated anything it landed on with a two-inch layer of ice, followed by several inches of snow, the another half-inch ice crust on top. I …
And since we’ve no place to go…
We’ve had more than three feet of snow here so far, and it’s still coming down — forecasts are saying we could see another foot and a half to two feet in the next twenty-four hours. News reports say that it shatters the previous record snowfall in this city, set in the early seventies. Where’s …
The White Stuff
Judging from the picnic table in our back yard (one of the few things that I can see both the top and bottom of to properly gauge depth), we’ve gotten nearly two feet of snow in the last twenty-four hours. And it’s still coming down. Hard. Looks like it’ll be time for the annual inaugural …
“Stormtec Stormbags”
I was dismayed to discover that the utility room in our new house does not have a drain in it, one of its very few shortcomings. If the water heater ever leaks (as happened in our previous house once already), it will be a major problem — there’s nowhere for the water to go. There …
“Boston firefighters get oxygen masks for cats and dogs”
Happy Hallowe’en! And to celebrate, here’s a story about a different kind of mask — one that firefighters can use to keep Fido and Fluffy breathing while they’re being rescued from a burning building. In the last few human generations, cats and dogs have gone from working cohabitors of our land, to beloved family pets, …
