I haven't talked about this much here or really anywhere online because it seems that every time in the past that I've talked about trying to change something in my life (especially my weight and health) I end up going back into my old habits almost immediately, making a lie out of everything I've just written. I've always posted in the past about ( Read more... )

One of the things I've been spending a lot of time doing, lately, is writing reviews. I'm a member of several product-review sites (like BzzAgent, for example) and I spend a portion of almost every day writing some review of some random product or place I've recently visited. I've even started my own review blog, which doesn't have much on it yet ( Read more... )

Many of you read theferrett and already know what's been going on in his life lately, and the lives of his friends but many others of you have no idea.

Please, take a moment and read this post at my Father Fails blog.

Thank you.

(She has high testosterone, for a woman ( Read more... )

I've often struggled to explain how my brain works but tonight I've pretty much hit the nail on the head ( Read more... )

This was a long and rambling post which, when I read back to myself, just about put me to sleep. So here's the bullet points:

• My gallbladder is out.
• The doctors have never seen more gallstones than what I had in me. The younger doctor counted over 200.
• I hurt. 4 days out from the surgery I'm still in pain but it's getting better.
• I think I may already ( Read more... )

I just got home from being in the hospital for four days for relatively excruciating pain where my appendix used to be. Four days in a hospital is a long time. I know folks who have been there longer but considering that for my appendix surgery I wasn't even in for 48 hours, this was a very long time ( Read more... )

I was reading a few things the other day and it got me to thinking.

I'm sure that most of you have come across the Holographic Principle but if not let me sum it up in how I understand it (which I'm sure is wrong): It's possible to store 3D data on a 2D surface if that surface is something like a gravitational boundary. Furthermore, that it's ( Read more... )
