So apparently, there are a lot of seniors with STD’s now, and it’s not something that’s getting talked about. So, Dr. Shannon Dowler wrote a rap song about it…which is pretty damn good. I have to say that I’m feeling pretty old, because “Ice Ice Baby” was picked as a song that is supposed to …

Not Special Needs
I saw this ad a few weeks ago, and it made me laugh. It also took no time at all to make a point that should have been clear all along. I hope it makes some people think.
Dog Poop Will Turn Your Roomba Into A Ruindba!
There’s a story going around Facebook that reminds me of something that happened to us when we had Trix that I somehow never put up here. Maybe it was waiting for its perfect moment. One day, on a whim, I bought Trix a new puzzle toy. The dog is supposed to roll the thing around …

If You’re In Hamilton And Have Some time, These Tactile Navigational Belt People Might Be Able To Use Your Help
I got this sent to me the other day. It’s kind of fascinating, and reminded me of the old Peepo of years gone by. I definitely have questions, but it looks kind of neat. I certainly won’t be able to go to the lab and try it out, but I can at least spread the …
Tell The Girl With The Doughnut Holes To Turn Off The Light
And on a lighter note, I thought of a couple more misheard lyrics that are much better than the owls. I wish I could find the actual clip, but there was a comedian who had some interesting misheard lyrics as sung by his parents. To this day, I cannot listen to “Lucy in the Sky …

But What Were You Wearing?
I don’t have much to say about this bit from the Tracey Ullman show except it’s perfect and illustrates the point that all kinds of people have been trying to make for years. Whenever I talk about this, I feel like words completely fail me. When the whole Ghomeshi thing reached its frustrating end, I …
You Just Sang What?
I mishear a lot of lyrics, or at least I used to. Now, before I embarrass myself, if I’m not sure of a lyric, I’ll cheat and google it. So that’s why this little clip of Peter Kay massacring lyrics makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. There are a few in here that I …
Have Your Say On A Newly-Forming Canadians With Disabilities Act, And Do It Soon!
I meant to write this, and do this, a while ago, but well…better late than never. The federal government is trying to build a Canadians with Disabilities Act similar to the ADA I think. They want our input. Because I’m lame, I’m only putting this up a week before the public consultation period closes. So, …

Wind Up Your Radio…
I have a friend who claims I know a song for every occasion. She claims that she could say to me that she had the weirdest day, she tripped over the laundry basket and got trampled by a dog, and I would say I knew a song about just that chain of events. I don’t, …
When I Say “Grandpa”, You Say “Bot”
I love technology, but I don’t like the idea of using it as a cure for loneliness. But a lot of people are getting this idea, and designing gadgets for people who spend too much time alone, like seniors and young single people, but especially seniors. First up is Hasbro’s companion robot golden retriever. They …
