I just got back from getting the van inspected at the Lakewood inspection station. It was actually a relatively pleasant experience. The wait wasn’t long, there was a clean customer waiting room (although I waited outside of it) and the facility itself was clean and well-staffed (with pleasant people, no less!) About an hour and [...]
Pharyngula had a post about ADD that led inevitably to commentors decrying ADD as an imaginary condition, overdiagnosed, unnecessarily medicated, etc. Of course, it got me riled, as someone who has it, and had trouble getting diagnosis and medication, and can now see a significant positive difference. My comment was long, people might not read [...]
(Anyone remember when that was a cereal? I’m dating myself. . .) Yesterday was a delightful day, but my hubris caught up with me. “I’m under an umbrella,” I thought. “It’s really overcast,” I observed. “I have a pretty good base tan,” I assured myself. I did not apply sunscreen. After a few hours, I [...]
Audrey had friends sleeping over last night. This, in combination with a new dosage of Adderall, meant that I got very little sleep last night. I couldn’t go back to sleep because two of the girls were being picked up early. I couldn’t do any painting prep work because I’d run out of caulk, and [...]
I got the laundry sorted and started. I was about to sit down with Harry Potter, and realized I’d need more laundry baskets, so I folded laundry. I was going to sit down and read Harry Potter after that, but it turned out that one load wouldn’t spin, so I had to take it out, [...]
You know, it gets less and less worth not waiting until things come out on DVD. Yesterday the kids and I went to the new Marquee Theatre in Toms River. Yeah, new is nice, but it wasn’t as nice as I was hoping. They claimed to have stadium seating, but it was actually somewhere in [...]
I finally managed to get the kids conscious and dressed, and we hit the road to Philadelphia. The first stop was the Mutter Museum, which was fascinating – the exhibit was not just human diseases and oddities, but a lot of history, some of the advances of early medicine, and the evolution of medical equipment. [...]
We were supposed to meet friends at the sand castle building contest at Belmar, but they had to cancel at the last minute. Hubby had already taken the day off, so we figured we’d check it out anyway. The rain let up just enough for people to make some pretty amazing castles, but the water [...]
Turns out E. J. Dionne isn’t the only wingnut writing for the Washington Post. I don’t need to write a post about this, just check the article commentary and reader comments on William Kristol’s Bush-Worship Can you say “sycophant”, kids? Plus, we get some news today on Vitter, as well. Seems he had a little [...]
Sometimes it’s interesting to go and click on the referrals that brought people to your blog. You can be led to some interesting sites, maybe pick up on another like-minded blogger, or you can end up someplace that is just. . .loony. My post on Evil Embryos showed up on the same search as the [...]
