First Earthquake over a 5 - whee?

Calm down everyone - we’re fine.  It was about 54 miles away from us - but it did make the house sway a bit.

A 5.6…wow.  Took me a few seconds to realize it was an earthquake and not the boys running in the hallway.  ;-)

To those that watch the IT crowd…

A researcher is developing a bra that should be able to detect breast cancer.

Let’s just hope it doesn’t catch fire. ;-)

My Monday Wake Up Call

My morning did not begin with the alarm at 7 a.m. [for those who know me, I never said I got up at 7 a.m. - just that my alarm goes off then]. My morning did not begin with the sweet sound of birdsong. My morning did not begin with eager calls of my children. My morning did not even begin with the kiss of my sweetheart.

No.

I was abruptly awoken by the excruciating pain of a charley horse. Not. Fun. If my husband was a cat, I would’ve scared one of his lives out of him. Not the best way to start a day. It’s still a bit sore.

I’ve always heard to can prevent these by eating more potassium for a few days. Let’s hope charley horses really do like bananas. :-)

(**Yes, I know I posted the same thing on multiple blogs. Different people read different sites… ;-) )

Dear Spammers….

Dear Spammers:

You can stop. Really. You’re wasting your time.

1. M**@D!k will not help me. See, there’s this little problem: I don’t have a p3n!s! This is by design.
2. No, she will not love me more, want me more, “$ex” me more because of my “big rod”; see #1.
3. I am not naive enough to believe that 4 girlz really want me now and are waiting talk to me.
4. I never submitted an application for ANY loan via the intertubes.
5. How many times must I remind you? I do not HAVE a pen1$!
6. I’m not shopping for software, legal or otherwise; and just as I won’t buy meat by the roadside from some guy out of the back of a truck - so will I not be buying anything from you.
7. I do not need Man$ter or V!@gra; again, see #1.
8. I am not interested in what you think are the hottest stocks or “the next to pop.” See the sentiment of #6.
9. I am not interested in contributing anything to an overseas criminal element, and besides h@@dia has not been proven to work, and the harvesting of the plant is limited as it is endangered. Go pedal your mint leaf or bay leaf or whatever it really is somewhere else.
10. And finally, for the last time: I DO NOT HAVE MALE GENITALIA!!!

Now please kindly go away and attempt to do something that is most likely anatomically impossible.

Sincerely,

Me

Spooky, huh?

Your home is a

Time-Lord’s Manor


Your kitchen consists of dilithium-powered food replicators, manned by obedient robot slaves, who are sure to never, ever rebel. I mean, it’s preposterous to even consider it. There’s a Chocolatessen, which is rapidly becoming your favorite room of the house. Having one is also becoming a trend among your wealthy neighbors. Your master bedroom is decorated to look like the treetop village of the Galadhrim. Your study has every science fiction title ever written. One of your garages contains a life-sized X-Wing fighter, and KITT. (KITT was a gift from a well-meaning uncle.)

Your home also includes a robot repair bay, where your mechanized servants are routinely fitted with new restraining bolts. (It’s just a precaution.) Your guests enjoy your animatronic replica of the cantina at Mos Eisley. Outside is your radio telescope, listening constantly for alien transmissions. Especially invaders. They’ll come eventually, even if nobody believes you. (Nobody does.)

Below is a snippet of the blueprints:

Find YOUR Dream House!

Hi.

Hi.
I’m tired.
How are you?
It’s flippin’ October - how did that happen? Time is moving too fast - make it slow down.
Do you have anything new to share?

Me.
