To Distract me from Politics AKA People who Disagree with Me

Marcy sent me a cool link to a name “anagramer.” I’m torn between:

HER INSANE MAJOR

MEAN MAJOR ON HEROINS

JAM HERO'S INANE MORON

MAJOR IN ROMEO

What is my husband's new nickname, you ask? Why …

HE'S A JEER AND NERD

JEERS AND DEAR HEN

Will’s anagram contained a swear word, thus cannot be posted on my generally G website.

Useless -- but kind of Cool

I found a really cool site. You can see the difference between the spread of Target and the spread of Walmart.

Useless but Funny

My friend Marcy sent me the most hilarious definitions from the Washington Post's Mensa invitational. My favorites are as follows:

1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

4. Reintarnation (n.): Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

14. Dopeler effect (n.): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

And in regards to The Washington Post’s 2007 contest to supply alternate definitions for common words – I only have one thing to say. I am flabbergasted and must abdicate. But truly my favorite was #7. Lymph, v. To walk with a lisp.

The Hug Me Pillow

My sister sent me a link to buy a special pillow that she felt would keep me company during those times my husband is traveling. Although, the pillow promises to "provide comfort as well as piece of mind" and it's "unique shape provides firm sleeping support;" I'm not sure I'm really comfortable having a pillow that looks like this in my house even if it's only $29.99 plus shipping.

Cut to the chase, Bean! What are you really trying to say? I read the comments and felt a little uncomfortable.

In case anyone wondered about my political leanings

You Are 44% Democrat

You aren't a full fledged Democrat yet, but it's likely the party that fits you best. You probably consider yourself an independent Democrat. You usually support the party, but you also think for yourself!

How Democrat Are You?

You Are 12% Republican

If you have anything in common with the Republican party, it's by sheer chance. You're a staunch liberal, and nothing is going to change that!

How Republican Are You?

I really do think I'm more than 44% Democrat.

Yet another reason I’m grateful my brain is larger than the size of a walnut!

On Saturday, DK and I saw a squirrel run across the highway. Then on Tuesday, Marcy and I saw a suicidal squirrel narrowly escape death as it ran across the highway. The squirrel literally ran between wheels going over 65 mph. I thought it was dead.

Squirrels running to or from the medium are ridiculous. There’s nothing there, except certain death. However, when I said as much to Marcy she countered that the squirrel’s family could be there. Imagine that if you will. A squirrel colony surrounded by whizzing, rumbly bringers of death. The inquisitive squirrels weeded out through the process of natural selection. It almost makes you want to be a part of nature doesn’t it?

Give me a couple more years!

You Are 44% Massachusetts

You're likely a Massachusetts transplant. Big rotaries still scare you, and you probably live outside of 495.

How Massachusetts Are You?
