I did not have space to store my ironing board last year and searched for a cabinet with suitable interior space. I chose to buy a Brimnes cabinet after a thorough search. It had the space, but looked exactly like what it was, a wardrobe cabinet. Since I needed it to be in an open […]
I was watching videos on YouTube yesterday when I saw one about arsenic in rice. I said to myself, “What! How could that be?” Since, one cannot believe everything one sees on YouTube, I looked it up today. I really had no idea this was the case. I am shocked. In the past I would […]
My reaction to seeing this prompt was a grimaced giggle and retributive reflection. Oh my! Do I ever keep promises to myself? My response was, “Of course I do! As a matter of fact, this blog is one of them.” I promised myself to keep this blog for life. It has gone through many changes. […]

When I saw this prompt, I said to myself, “Darn it. Yet again, I do not have a clear answer.” There is something I like and dislike about every month. I almost chose January as my favorite month, as I love how daylight increases every day for us who live in the northern hemisphere. On […]
My first reading of this prompt illicited the response, “I don’t pick things up from the ground and keep them.” Then I thought, maybe I should expand my thinking a bit. “Thing” isn’t limited to physical objects. With that in mind, the coolest thing I’ve found and kept is Astrology. I found it in my […]
Last year, when I wanted to make a song specifically for Thanksgiving, I found an ai music generation app that made a delightful song for me. I thought I could always come back to it when I wanted to hear it again. When I returned to the website early this year, the song was gone. […]
