The time has come to bit the bullet and admit to myself that my back really *is* giving out. I actually pointed out in the ‘family forum’ a few days ago that I’ve finally let myself get a ‘mobility card’ to let me park closer to shops etc. I’ve not got one before, partly because … More The time has come… or something.
As usual when having a mid-morning cuppa, I was perusing the online version of one of the local rags. In this case it was the Sydney Morning Herald and saw for the first time a section at the bottom right of the page entitled’ Videos’. Nothing much being in the news I went to have … More Sexperts!
I lifted this from the pages of the UK Daily Mail and it purports to be a ‘test’ anyone can take to determine if they have Alzheimer’s Disease. Basically you answer the questions below and if you say yes to one or more… go talk to your doctor.. Well that’s all very well and good… … More Alzheimer's Test?
Life is full of tragedies. Mostly they pass us by unless you’re personally involved. Millions die all over the world from war, disease, starvation, or plain neglect and we neither know nor care, except on an impersonal; “Oh those poor people… ” sort of feeling.

This blog is becoming a locus for doom and gloom lately! 🙂 Today’s warning is that the effectiveness of nanotechnology use may in future be mitigated by its propensity to damage our health. New research is beginning to identify links between the tiny creations and serious illnesses such as mesothelioma! The suggestion that we are … More Yet more cause for concern.
I’m beginning to wonder if we do in fact have more mice in here than the one the cat (re) captured and killed the other day. Now and then she hangs about around the kitchen staring underneath the fridge which is usually a sign of something… though we’re yet to discover what. Today she again … More Not more mice?
Despite Kevin Rudd’s government having excellent environmental credentials, it seems that Cape Alumina, a mining company might get mining rights to hack a huge hole in the area Steve Irwin bought as a permanent wildlife reserve. Seems there is bauxite under the ground and in Australia whilst you might own the surface you bizarrely have … More Rape of the fair country.
In other place I was just rambling on about some of the symptoms, well the effects, of Asperger’s but left off just as I got to ‘inter-personal’ relationships because the post was getting too long. However, I can come up with a very concrete and personal example of how embarrassing it can be… that’s embarrassing … More Boy, do I do some strange things.
I think so. Head hurts, teeth ache, nose pouring, miserable as sin… not looking or feeling good. Went back to bed at 9:30 a.m. ’til 1:00 p.m. and don’t feel any better. Not happy. 😦
