Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Friday, May 28th, 2010

The mirrors they put in the kids dressing rooms at department stores are pathetic. At least the one in the waiting area just outside the rooms is. The one I saw had bipolar disorder. I’m a convex mirror, no I’m a concave mirror, no I’m a convex mirror. I guess they think it will be more entertaining for kids to look at themselves in a clown mirror since they usually aren’t the one making the decision about buying the clothing. I, however, found it VERY disturbing since the only one being reflected in the mirror at the time was me.

Have You Gluttonized Your Post Today?

Friday, May 28th, 2010

It seems some blog spammer has noticed my penchant for using big words. And that I don’t always use them right. And they just wanted to let me know. At least that’s what I glean from a comment like this:

“I was barest thrilled to unearth this site.I wanted to thanks you an eye to this great presume from!! I unquestionably enjoying every scarcely trace of it and I deliver you bookmarked to look into escape creative gluttonize you post”

Indeed my friends, I will “gluttonize you post” every time from now on!

Transient Thoughts

Friday, May 28th, 2010

I completed a survey recently that asked about where I would consider getting an auto insurance quote and they listed companies I’ve never heard of. Then they asked me to answer questions about the companies I had never heard of just based on my impression of the name. It was kinda cool trying to consciously judge a book by its cover when I’ve spent a lifetime trying to deny that I quite literally do just that at the bookstore.

Weird how I connected all those topics, isn’t it?

Unimaginative Angy Automaton

Friday, May 28th, 2010

My least favorite kind of spam post is the kind that insults me AND doesn’t make sense. Here’s one like that:

“It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place”

This on a post about heating blankets! Who knew this would be such a controversial subject?! By the way, I didn’t spell ‘their’ wrong. Angry automaton spam machine did it. And they’ve sent me this post before.

Skin Care

Friday, May 28th, 2010

As skin non-lethal skin conditions go, eczema may be one of the saddest. It can effect any one of any age and tends to last a long time. It can’t be taken care of through plastic surgery and for some, it is a lifetime of struggling to find a good treatment for it. Some treatments have side effects that are intolerable for the patient. Some patients don’t care about the side effects because the condition is intolerable. Getting help from a qualified dermatologist can help answer questions quickly.

Impolite Coyote

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Last week I took the kids to the zoo and one of the animals we tried to see were the coyotes. I think they’re boring but the kids thought it would be nice to see them. We looked from every angle we could think of, but the little rascals were hiding in their enclosure.

Today, we’re sitting at home and weird barking noises are happening outside. I went to investigate and there was a coyote in our front yard. I called the kids and we all stood at the window. It watched us in our enclosure as we demonstrated the behavior of polite animals when others come to gawk at them. Maybe it will share the info and the next time we go to the zoo, the coyotes will come out.

The thing didn’t even throw any popcorn at us.
