Assorted Rambling

For once I can be proud of the Texas Legislature. Their anti-abortion bill did NOT pass, thanks to some courageous women. I got tears in my eyes reading the story this morning.

Why is there vanilla yogurt and all kinds of fruit flavors even honey but not chocolate? Seems to me like someone could figure out how to make chocolate yogurt.

I just logged on to my AOL account to check my mail and saw this Huffington Post article about the president going to Joplin, MO to view the tornado damage and console the victims. Then at the end of the article it said ( this )

When I came home from work Thursday afternoon the whole front patio area was covered in tiny, little seeds. It's hard to describe exactly how my house and yard are configured, but the garage sets in front and between the back of the garage and the house is mostly concrete. I have a plant bed along one side and an area in the corner on the other side where the oleander tree is. The plant bed goes almost up to opposite the front door. There's an overhang making a small porch area. These seeds were scattered all over just that area. They weren't on the driveway or the little bit of yard out front and outside the fenced part of the yard. They weren't on the side or at the back of my house. Only there in this small courtyard type area.

I would have thought the seeds blew there (and it was windy that day) if they hadn't been on top of the leaves of the plants in the side bed. If they had fell from the sky, though, how did they get in the covered area? If is was the wind, why weren't they everywhere? I thought at first they were inorganic matter, like something off the roof or our neighbor's roof, but Mr. akite looked at them under a magnifying glass and found they were seeds. Though, not of a type that he'd ever seen before. Me either. Freaky, y/n?

Adobe Flash update! You froze my computer! My computer recovered, obviously, but it was still annoying. I suspect it was all a diabolical scheme by Skipper's nemesis, Dr. Blowhole.

It's been 100 days since I quit smoking. I'm a member of QuitNet.com, which is a wonderful support site. I recommend it to anyone that wants to quit or is even thinking about quitting. I've made a lot of friends there. The Q, which is what members call QuitNet for short, has a lot of history and traditions, and a hundred days is a major milestone. Members are invited to the lodge, you're supposed to wear a silly hat and fly a kite, also they encourage you to write a ramble about your quit to mark the day. I posted one this morning that'll be behind the cut. It's full of QuitNet jargon you can feel free to ask me to clarify.
