How many of you Googled old boyfriends after whatserbucket’s last post?  Raise your hands.   I’m happy to announce that my old boyfriend is now completely bald and happily working in his chosen profession.  He also has a name that is very easy to Google.  My husband, on the other hand, has an old girlfriend with the last name of Smith (or so he tells me).  She is lost forever in cyberspace. How many of you have cleaned your kitchen and bathroom floors obsessively with the touch of a button?

Killer robot Flickr Photo by: SoulCookie. As much as we in the civilized world like to think we have advanced since the Dark Ages, we are still callous and insensitive to our fellow man. Here is a sad tale of a man who has to resort to robots in order to end his life. It is ironic that robots are now more humane than human beings toward those who cannot abide living any longer. That robots can be more sensitive and kind to us than other humans is perhaps why sex with robots will be more desi

Good morning! The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and tomorrow is the first day of Spring! I’m feeling it! I am doing great with my exercise plan and I’m proud of myself for that. Yesterday I lifted weights in the garage and cleaned house all day, including tearing DD’s room apart from top to bottom, rearranging her furniture, and jumping rope!! I’m so excited that my house is spotlessly clean! I’ve been on a mission lately to clean every day. Its a never ending job when you have a hu

I agree with what Dan wrote. Here are the measurements anyway. A stake or peg is 5 1/2 inches. The ruler has two marks. The “full” mark is at 18 inches and it is the distance between a hard wall and the wire. The second mark is the “2/3 full” mark at 12 inches for a soft lawn edge.

Right now an army of a billion worms are munching on garbage in the heart of downtown Trenton, New Jersey, working to produce some of the most potent plant fertilizer available today. Tom Szaky and Jon Beyer hit upon the ide

And if you don’t have a Beatles song stuck in your head right now, well, then, you’re un-American.  Or, non-British, I guess.  Or, not a Beatles fan.  Ok, moving on.  Yesterday was a good/bad mail day. I got some mail that completed my tax return preparation.  I eagerly anticipated doing my taxes, seeing as how I got a big ol’  refund last year, and I was hoping to put this money into improving the SLC house a bit before we sold.  Well, this year, I owe money.  Bummer.  I was hoping for a dif
