Don’t go out hunting if your house is on fire.
9298 – friday
I need never hear the phrase “eyes like gimlets” or variant “gimlet-eyed” again. I like the word gimlet and all, but enough is enough.
Unrelated, I could go for some tasty quiche. Had some blah pad thai at Noodles & Co. in annapolis while we sought out Alan’s Birthday prezzie. It didn’t do much for me, but the cookies and cream milkshake en route home was quite good.
BHK reminded me of the Geister game… you can play it online at BrittspielWelt ! (If you see scottobear there, come say howdy!) If I can get BHK into the online version, maybe we’ll pick up (or make a home version of) the board game… plus… BrittspielWelt has a nice collection of Carcassone w/ expansions, not just Yucata‘s Hunters and Gatherers. (if you’re on yucata, say hi to scottobear there, too!)
Rules to ghost in comments – simple game – but fun.
Dreamt that Tigger taught Pye to smoke, and that he nearly burned down the in-laws house after getting too close to the gas fireplace.
Newton knows that kitties shouldn’t smoke! (And so does pip !)
“Hard knocks life” from Annie stuck in my head this morning, and throughout the day.
Just this part: (It’s all I know!)
It’s the hard-knock life for us!
It’s the hard-knock life for us!
‘Stead of treated,
We get tricked!
‘Stead of kisses,
We get kicked!
It’s the hard-knock life!
Got no folks to speak of so,
It’s the hard-knock row we hoe!
Cotton blankets,
‘Steada wool!
Empty Bellies
‘Steada full!
It’s the hard-knock life!

Don’t know why.. my life is pretty keen, and without want.
May the Great Gazoo rest in peace. Plus, Blazing Saddles and the CB show. Thanks for the fun, Harv. Now go do that voodoo that you do so well.
The international space station’s only toilet is broken, leaving the crew with almost no place to go. NASA officials responded, “You should have thought of that before you left home.”
This is what happens when I don’t mash the strongly agree or strongly disagree buttons. I respond to a few things with “Well, it depends…”

Was a bit sick this morning – nervous about the epidural , maybe… or low blood sugar. No food after 8am, minimal sips of water if needed. Still pretty sore afterward, but I should feel a lot bette rni the next few days.
BHK made Thai for me last night – make my last meal before the fast a good one. Green Curry veggies over rice, with a side of tofu in peanut sauce. The lady knows what I like to eat. After the epidural, we got Mexican – it was good, but I couldn’t finish my plate. Leftovers lasted until about 9pm.

Creepypasta – are short stories designed to unnerve, disturb or scare the readers of a Creepy Thread on 4chan. (could be upsetting to some viewers / nsfw, etc – it is on encyclopedia dramatica and 4chan after all.)
"A team at the university of Pittsburgh has finally advanced a 2002 technology enough for use in prosthetic limbs, the targeted application all along. Training computer models to the firing patterns of the neurons in the parts of the brain that control motion, they are able to project the intentions of a monkey to a robotic arm, which follows the will of the animal. The sad thing about the articles is that the beauty of the mathematics used to create and train the models is totally ignored."
Coverage at the BBC – This of course brings significant hope to amputees and other other people with physical disabilities.
(Note that this research has been going on for quite some time.)

Bare Food Cupboards More Common in So. Md. – Southern Maryland Headline News
Most surprising and saddening to me was the following –
Brenda DiCarlo of the Southern Maryland Food Bank said she has noticed people making between $30,000 and $50,000 a year having to rely on grocery assistance from their local food pantries. Her statistics show the number of families seeking assistance has topped 10,000 this year, and that is only for the pantries she supplies.
“There’s been a huge increase…our pantries have had a 40 percent increase in new families needing food, and a 50 percent increase for returning families…there just isn’t enough money to put gas in the car and keep the lights on…a lot of people now just can’t make ends meet.”
DiCarlo’s first recommendation to people is that they call the Department of Social Services. Those who do not qualify for food stamps can still get a complete listing of pantries and programs in their area.

Blogging – It’s Good for You. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery. (I’m a little doubtful, but the numbers are there, at the moment.)
