Friday Five

The Friday Five, for once. This one's interesting. 1. Were you raised in a particular religious faith? Big sister and I were shuttled to and from church until I decided I was old enough to object to church and stay home, and that wasn't met with

Hands off my stuff!

It really ticks me off when someone swipes something from one of my sites and publishes it on their site without even asking, or giving credit. I don't care if you say you're Christians, I don't care where you're from, get MY

Pet therapy

Spent a couple of hours this weekend talking to a friend who is doing a college project about clinical depression and pet therapy. It seems such a beneficial thing that I'm surprised it hasn't been studied more. We have two cats, and they're a

Laziness The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure. It makes you write labor-saving programs that other people will find useful, and document what you wrote so you don't have to answer so many questions about it. Hence, the first great virtue

Quantum Entanglement

Tangle has arrived, fresh from the operating table. There was a mass spaying and neutering on the entire litter in one go. I'd love to have seen the unconscious kittens getting a flea bath. Quantum hasn't killed him, Tangle fights back. They're getting adjusted.
