argh! Post three for the day

A new record! Three posts in one day!

I have to get rid of all these links. You guys can read em or ignore em. But now I'll have a record of them without bookmarking them. Most are medical sorts of things cos that is one of my main interests.

Some people are more susceptible to caffeine than others and this is associated with higher risk of heart disease.

Skipping periods might be good for you. And I ain't talking school here.

An oldie but a goodie. JenLa's Stash Wars.

DVT due to sitting still or poor quality cabin air?

More evidence that the Aborigines (original inhabitants) were not stupid savages. (Anyone who can survive in the Australia outback can't be dumb!)

Lots of other good stories on the ABC site (locally known as Aunty, and nothing to do with any Merican broadcasters - Aunty is the govt owned and operated broadcaster) - follow the links to all science news or the sort of news that fascinates you. It can keep me busy for hours!

Thanks to Karen for this one - Knitter's Anonymous.

Kitten War. Need I say more? Yes - Cats In Sinks.

My Johari window. Go tell me what you think of me! (Thanks to Darrow for already doing so - we agreed on one point!)

B5 podcasting.

(And if you are still here at this stage, Vicki, yes Bruce is an absolute god in person. Like he *radiates* Gobsmackingly handsome. The camera doesn't capture a bit of it. No wonder his wife decided he was the man for her - you would, rightly or wrongly, put up with a lot for a smile from him.)

Ok, this time fer shure!

anon!

    Yep. Bruce is quite devasting in person! Saw him at the Wolf359 con (1998 eep), and very close up at a signing for his first SF book in Manchester. In fact I have both of his SF books signed :-)

    I reckon frogging is a perfectly valid way of getting rid of WIPs. If you don't like how it is turning out and would never wear it, then recycle it!

    Thanks for the Podcast link!! Bruce Boxleitner was great in The Scarecrwo and Mrs King and I have vague memories of Bring 'Em Back Alive. He has made some woeful films!!! Despite that, you are right, he is a hunk!! I have never and will never see him in real life so I have to content myself with digital copies!!!
    Hope Tuesday is a better day for you!!
    Love 2paw and

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
