I know I’ve raved on and on about Break Reminder in the past, but I just have to do it again. As I’ve said before, I keep it set to force a 20-second break every 15 minutes, with a longer break every hour. I’ve also configured it so that the screen goes blank during those breaks, […]
PHP, Anyone?
I attempted to work on the various sites I manage today and yesterday, but I’m still trying to get their formmail.php scripts straightened out. I’m corresponding with the fellow who wrote the scripts, and he’s been quite helpful. Any PHP gurus who’d like to volunteer assistance would be MUCH appreciated. Current Mood: geeky
Cars Cars Cars
I spent a lot of time in the car again yesterday. It seems to be my lot in life anymore. When we bought Alluna, we needed to transport five people on a regular basis, but we weren’t really driving that many miles. She’s comfortable, but her fuel economy isn’t particularly economical. I saw a 2002 […]
Girl Scout Stuff
(I split one post up into various sections because it was SO long.) Katie had a Girl Scout training session last night. Tonight is the Girl Scout unit’s Father-Daughter dance, so I’ll be home alone for a while. Except for the cat, who still hasn’t forgiven me for the switch to “healthy” cat food. Hmm—I’d better […]

I need to dig out my sunglasses (what sambear calls my “Earth Girls Are Easy” shades), because my eyes are much more sun-sensitive with contacts. My right eye hasn’t changed much, and only […]

Very good article: Too many fundamentalists would deny the fundamental rights all people deserve Carter blasts Georgia evolution proposal Jimmy Carter, the most Christian politician I have ever heard of, can see why Kathy Cox’s proposed science curriculum sucks. What is wrong with those people at the DoE? “As a Christian, a trained engineer and scientist, […]
Catch-Up
I went back to my GP today for a recheck. The meds she gave me last week have made a major difference for the better. She’d had me recording my basal body temperature every day, so I gave her the log. The average was 94.8, so she gave me a prescription for Armour Thyroid. I […]

Migraines & MyPoints
Okay, there’s a damned good reason not to ignore those horrible headaches or just put up with them: Migraine Linked to Brain Lesions
Being Open/Available/Attractive?
A dear friend asked about how to improve his chances of meeting someone and said that he doesn’t consider himself attractive. I do consider him attractive. After I wrote and sent the following to him, I realized that I need to do a lot of these things myself. sambear has said that I don’t meet […]
