Welcome back!
Here is something else that I do not quite understand.
Women’s Hats are something that I have rarely worn. I have actually worn a sombrero, a straw hat, a coolie hat, and once in a while a baseball hat. (The last one is my husband’s)
I used to have a cowboy hat with a bright [...]

Have you ever noticed that pharmacists give medicines strange names?
I know of several to run past you: amitriptyline, triam/hydroclothiaze , or even adapexin-p. You would think that giving something an easy name to remember would make it easier to remember.
When they write out their prescription forms it also looks as if they are using [...]

Lately I have been having some weird questions going through my head.
Last time, I asked about the origins of okay. There have been other things before that. I know that they have vitamins for acne, maybe they should also have some for people like me who get very curious about strange things.

Where did it come from? The OK Corral cannot be the source of this word. Obviously everything was NOT OK there. I know where the word threshold came from. I have learned the origin of the childrens song-ring around the rosey.

Now, I am not very digital. I have 3 blogs, I write stuff, I visit other sites, but I am still not very digital.

Remember the spill in the Gulf of Mexico? What happened to all of the news coverage? What happened to the people trying to make a living in spite of the mess? What has happened to the business in those areas?
Questions, I have. Answers, not many. I wonder what happened to [...]

I am unemployed. Not by choice, but by necessity. Pain does have a limitation on the things that you can do.
One job I used to hold was as a nurses-aide in a nursing home. Now there are jobs available that go to individual homes and help the people at home and not [...]

sorry about the rant the other day.
I had just had to use one of those awkward bathrooms, and barely got myself clean in spite of the bad design of the bathroom itself.
I have mentioned to some of the stores where I shop about the layout of the handicapped stalls. I had always thought that [...]

I would have chosen more accurate wording, but did not want to offend the eyes of readers.
I have no idea where that word ‘ergonomic’ came from. Every time that I have run into something that was supposed to be ergonomically designed, I found the thing to be complicated, unwieldy, clumsy, awkward,and down right stupid. [...]
