    Yow. Washington Post busted my blog again

    January 9, 2007 - By ginny

    I'll figure this out tomorrow. Something about making a link using the WordPress Press It! bookmarklet to a Washington Post story always throws all this extra stuff in – javascript, everything else on the page, and all.  Sorry about that. To cover the awkward silence, how about a little Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass?   With the thanks of a grateful if clueless reader to Adam Felber.

    Why Do Gay Rights Matter? Here’s One Reason

    January 8, 2007 - By ginny

    Utah is a hard place to be "different." If you're not Mormon, it can be hard to make friends and be accepted, until you find the right religio-social pigeonhole for yourself. And if you were raised Mormon, but can no longer conform for some reason, it's even harder. If your family rejects you, but your partner can't legally marry you, it's much, much worse if you become incapacitated with a fatal illness.  Some of this article may be a little hard to read without a box of Kleenex handy.   Salt Lake Tribune – Lost to Lou Gehrigs disease: Even…

    Adult ADHD Undertreated

    January 8, 2007 - By ginny

    BBC NEWS | Health | Adult ADHD not treated properly A recent survey of children with ADHD in Newham, in London, found although symptoms tended to decrease between the ages of seven and 17, the 17-year-olds showed a level of hyperactivity similar to that found in a group of normal seven-year-olds. When the same people were seen again at the age of 26, they were found to have disabilities associated with high levels of psychiatric disorder, including feelings of restlessness, feeling depressed when inactive, depression, and difficulties sustaining relationships. Dr Chris Steer, who treats paediatric ADHD in Fife, said that…

    Gearing UP

    January 8, 2007 - By ginny

    Okay, I finally got a reason to get going on a fitness program. The health club in the building at work offered a great deal for a 6 week "jumpstart" program for emplyoyees of my company, including some nutrition counseling and 6 weekly sessions with a personal trainer. So last Friday I signed up for the next 6 weeks, beginning today. And yesterday I went out to Le Tarzhay and bought some new workout gear, all very comfortable and even flattering (cut not so badly for a big girl me). Last night I packed up my gym bag, and this morning made it…

  • Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

    Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

    From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

  • Tea Towel Hems

    Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

    I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
