It’s a New Year, so how about a nice happy soundtrack? I would embed it, but the embed code-maker sucks large accessibility balls. the old year is now in its grave. Good riddance, and be gone, to all the things you said you’d do and either didn’t, or did wrong a new year to screw …

So Long, Aunt Merle
I should at least do this in the right year. I don’t know if I wrote about my one great-aunt much. It doesn’t look like I did. She lived across the street from my grandma and they used to go back and forth pretty regularly. She was single her whole life, and seemed to enjoy …
A New Treatment For Diabetes! Sweet!
I just saw this CTV story about a new treatment for Type 1 diabetes and it looks pretty neat. From what I understand, this pouch full of cells gets implanted under the patient’s skin and mimics the pancreas, creating insulin in response to the amount of sugar in the blood. I do have questions though. …
Chow, Chau.
I’ve been wanting to write about this story since it came out, but I can’t seem to get going. All I can think to say is “hands off!” To be completely honest, I had the urge to tell him off in more vulgar ways, but since he’s dead, I’ll stick with “hands off!” for now. …
The Dork With The Barrett Tattoo
I read about this story 6 months or so ago and meant to write about it then. Since it still makes me chuckle whenever I think about it, I’ll write about it now. I heard about a guy who skipped parole and they were looking for him. When I saw Nathan Barrett’s description, my first …
Something Seems A Little Phishy
It seems like there has been a whole lot of phishing going on lately, and I have gotten a few emails that have given me a scare. Thankfully, after my heart went back into my chest, I realized that no, the CEO of the company I work for would not be emailing me from a …
Love Is A 47-Year-Old Christmas Present
It appears the mystery of the 47-year-old gift has been solved, and it was captured on video! I guess the articles from last year made their way to Vicki Allen, the ex girlfriend who handed him the gift and dumped him, and they reconnected and decided to open the mystery gift for a charity. Thank …
The Cat’s Thoughts On Your Christmas Tree
I came across this song the other day, and chuckled. I thought of many cats our family had over the years. Thankfully none of them ruined our Christmas tree or did too much ornament damage, but I think we learned to strategically place breakable ornaments too high for them. Many times, we would come out …

Brian? Trauma Centre. Trauma Centre? Brian.
It’s taken us 10 years, but we might finally have an answer to the Brian Persaud question, and I wasn’t even looking for it. Story time. Years ago, somebody at work told me about Quora.com as a good place to get answers to just about anything. I went there to read people’s suggestions for alternatives …

Facebook May Contain: More Stuff I Can Read
I was sort of dragged kicking and screaming into Facebook because I couldn’t get a hold of someone and Facebook was the only way to get updates. Then, of course I ended up staying around. As much as I enjoy getting people’s updates there, I do not enjoy the pages and pages and pages of …
