WARNING: This blog contains opinions, rants, and bad language and even a few moments of sincerity. Welcome to my world.
I started seeing a traditional Tibetan doctor who is giving me various potions that are supposed to stimulate my wind element and get me back on the road to good health. My GP rolls her eyes at such things and says in a condescending tone, “Well, if it makes you feel better, then that’s fine, I suppose.”
I do find it incredible that we in the West look at cultures that have been... 
Who knew whales could knit?
A very short entry today with the funniest typo I’ve seen in a long time. (From the Knitting Daily email newsletter.)
Are you inspired by the stitches and patterns of Ireland, Scotland, and Whales? Pick up a copy of Traditional Lace Shawls and learn how to create the beautiful and timeless shawls of each region. Author Martha Waterman specializes in this handicraft... 
(I’ve had a really difficult week this week, health-wise, thus the lack of posts. But since I’d rather rant or laugh than share the woes, I’ll share something that is both funny and scary for my Quick Tips category.)
After reading some unfortunate, but inadvertently hilarious, problems people get themselves into because of Facebook (or Twitter, or texting, or IMs, or email). Problems... 
I had to laugh a couple of months back when I saw this on the Huffington Post:
Most Inappropriate Google Suggests Of All Time.
But I find it strange how so many people and even my computer try to tell me what I want. Google wants to tell me what I’m really looking for since what I typed in isn’t as good as what they think I meant to type, Facebook wants to tell me who I want to be friends with... 
My Sweetheart was watching a live webcast of a Microsoft convention this afternoon, and among the speakers was one of the makers of Wordpress. He said that last year, the two most visited blogs were a political action blog, and, um, a website devoted to funny pictures of cats.
I really love people.
Anyway, I listened for a bit, but then had to leave due to a nap sneaking up and whacking me on the back of... 
I have a few regrets in my life, but not many. Most of the time I can acknowledge that I was doing the best I could with the knowledge and understanding that I had at the time. That’s really the best we can expect of ourselves.
I regret a few relationships, but then I suppose what I truly regret is that the other person turned out to be such jackasses. I Sometimes I know my words were sharper than... 
Sometimes life throws you things that require some coping skills. Sometimes other people are unbelievable ass-hats with nothing better to do than stride around the internet inflicting pain and grief on others.
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and just want to go back to bed. Sometimes I do just go back to bed.
And sometimes, if you’re very observant, you can see that no matter what your challenges,... 
The existence of words with negative prefixes and no positive opposites bothers me. For example you can be inscrutable, but not scrutable, inept but not ept, nonplussed but not plussed, feckless but not fecked (unless you’re Irish), dishevelled, but not shevelled, and so on.
What bothers me about this is you can be negative with no positive opposite, but not positive with no negative opposite.... 
Editor Angela James tweeted about bacon bookmarks yesterday, and I also noticed this article in The Argus:
A rasher of bacon was found in a returned book by a Worthing librarian.
The lender had used an object usually found between two slices of bread rather than pages as a bookmark.
This was just one of the oddities artist Dan Thompson, of Lanfranc Road, Worthing, has come across while collecting quirky... 
I saw this post news item this week and thought it was both funny, and evidence that some people just shouldn’t have kids:
Police in Deer Lake, Newfoundland, decided in August not to press charges against three boys whom they had previously believed had harassed a young moose so badly that it had to be put down. A final piece of evidence against prosecution came from the father of one of the boys,... 
I've blogged about many many things in many many different places all over the web. It's exhausting. So instead I'm bringing it all together in one place, and hope that those of you I know and love won't mind if I natter about techie stuff, knitting, writing, or crack some wiseass remarks about random topics. Let's call it... holistic blogging.
