Taken In By Hoax

The Halloween "fat letter" lady was the subject of my previous blog. As it turns out, this was an apparent hoax. The lady had spoken on a Fargo, North Dakota radio station and apparently was the same lady who spoke on the radio station last Christmas about the need to move a dangerous Deer X-ing...

"No Treats For The Obese"

"No treats for the obese." From the news, I heard about a lady from North Dakota who said she would not give candy to obese trick-or-treaters but would instead give them a note intended for their parents that told them that they ought not allow their fat kids to eat candy. I have mixed views on... Sign in to see full entry.

Tool Insurance?

The tool program at my job site has not worked well. We had cabinets with locks and a checklist we were supposed to go over at the end of the shift. But operators have been too undisciplined to keep the cabinets locked when not in use, or some determined rascal has been been able to jimmy into these... Sign in to see full entry.

Mixing And Matching

Stacking, restacking, and re-combining. That is what is was like during one part of my work day. The palletizing robot became backed up and in need of maintenance, so my coworker had to hand palletize the cases. In the process, he started stacking a second pallet that was of the wrong type, so I... Sign in to see full entry.

Th e Straight Skinny On Pallindromes, Anagrams, And Conundrums

A coworker's misnotion prompted me to visit the subject of pallindromes, conundrums, and anagrams as well. In conversation, I had mentioned the famous pallindrome pertaining to Napoleon: Able was I ere I saw Elba. I told the coworker that that is an example of a pallindrome, but he told me, "no,...

My Sleep Pattern Trending In The Wrong Direction

With the sun coming up later and going down sooner, it should be that I am sleeping longer in the morning. I am light sensitive, but I am puzzled by what is happening when it is getting darker. Oddly enough, I am waking up earlier. Daylight Savings Time will soon end, at which time I should be... Sign in to see full entry.

I Prefer Walking In

It is a given one sets up an appointment if one goes to see a dentist or a clinical doctor (unless, of course, it is an emergency). With haircuts, however, the option is there to either set up an appointment or to simply walk in. I prefer to walk in when I go to have my hair cut. Last week, I went... Sign in to see full entry.

Purging Myself Of Some Of My Books

It is so hard to let go, of books, that is. I have a lot of them, and like them filling shelves in my abode. After moving them back and forth during my flood crisis, however, I determined to part with some of them. I de-selected books that I held no further value to me after a first read; others of...

Surprisiing, Alarming Breath Capacity Test

Can one believe all of the results in a wellness fare? I am skeptical of at least one of the results of the wellness fare I attended last night (sponsored by my company). I was asked to take a deep breath and blow hard into a testing device. Based upon the amount of air expelled and one's biological... Sign in to see full entry.

So Tired I Waited Until The Morning

When I have to work the following morning, I try to post my blogs the night before. I do this, because I normally do not see that I would have the time to do so in the morning before getting ready and going to work. Last night, however, as I was trying to write my blogs, I kept nodding off.... Sign in to see full entry.
