As of today, this blog is one-year-old (or maybe because it’s still an infant we should say 12-months). It doesn’t really feel like it’s been that long, which is good because that means it didn’t end up being a chore, a fear of mine from the beginning. The raw stats: 120 posts for an average of one post… Continue reading One Year in Blogging

What is it that you mean? (Part 1)
I love words. I’m a big fan. I’m not the brightest person when it comes to using words but I’m trying to improve and find them incredibly interesting to learn about.

Good question but… Continue reading Hands only, pal!

It hit on something close to my heart, avoiding work through procrastination and overloading. Everyone has their moments of Lazy Man’s Load and it rarely… Continue reading Taking the Hard Way Out
Slang to Help Doctors Slice & Dice
This post’s title is merely a play off someone else’s blog post, Cynicism and People Cutting you into Little Pieces, over at VeryUnloved. It was a blog I sort of stumbled upon by chance, but they had an amusing post about all the slang terms that doctors use for patients. Some of my favorites: AGA – Acute… Continue reading Slang to Help Doctors Slice & Dice

Here is the first user submitted photo for me to mock, sent in by Laura Miner: Beanie Babies were a strange fad. I think any fad that is meant for children but perpetuated more by adults is weird. Beanie Babies were going to be worth something someday! You couldn’t clip off the tags, play with… Continue reading The End
