I've been in my last online political discussion. I'm officially retiring from that continually pointless garbage as of today. Cut me some slack. I've been online since the only way to communicate in *discussion* was by bulletin boards and alt.newsgroups - so I'm a veteran. And I quit.

A short list of internet laws can be found over on a UK site set up by the Telegraph. My favorite one of late is Pommer's law...

Proposed by Rob Pommer on rationalwiki.com in 2007, this states: “A person's mind can be changed by reading information on the internet. The nature of this change will be from having no opinion to having a wrong opinion.”

Yes my "air-displacement" chart has seen me lose some weight over the last week. Mostly it's the end of snack and junk food which I am much partial to, the substitution of water for other liquids at meals, smaller portions, and a run/jog/weights session of about an hour on Monday Wednesday and Friday. The scale says I'm down, but I'm a harsh critic. For all that work, even though only one week, it should have been more.

I've had a noticeable spike in people signing on to "follow" this blog. I don't track visits or check my stats or pay attention to who is following unless it comes up on the Blogger Dashboard and I just happen to click. So I'm grateful for the followings. But - if you haven't already - let me know your blog addy because I don't always pay attention to that stuff.

You know what it is is sometimes an act just wears thin on you. You've seen it all before, you notice it just stops meaning what it meant. I've had this feeling lately. I think it's good to change your habits every now and then. That was pretty enigmatic and cryptic, wasn't it?

Tomorrow or sometime this week I'm going to post a recipe from the weight watcher people for a vegetable soup/stew that is OUT of this freakin world in both flavor and that "filling" feeling yet lives like a ghost inside you. I'm making it tonite but don't have the card right here.

I still owe BRIAN a test run on the MacSpeech Dictate for a list of technical words he sent me to see if the voice-to-text would recognize them. I simply haven't had the chance to try it out, but it WILL happen. I just can't pronounce some of them, and the device is still dependent on your ability to say things correctly. Anyway it will happen. be patient.
