Reader’s choice
Whoa! Here I am, with a whole slew of ideas for blog posts!
A plethora of riches. So much so that I am tossing it out to My Loyal Readers (all 15 of them!). Which of the following would you be interested in reading?
- I Can See Clearly Now - My journey from coke-bottle-bottom glasses to being able to see the time on the clock in the middle of the night without glasses, via LASIK. With a tangent into the reasons why that song immediately makes me think of tuna salad. This one is mostly for SpaceMom, as BadMutha has already gone & done it.
- Walking on Sunshine - Hey–Alaska has sunshine, too! Who woulda thunk it? How quickly things change.
- The Blind Leading the Nearsighted - Our nation’s economists say that the bottom one-fifth of the U.S., by income, "have access to various sources of spending money that doesn’t fall under taxable income. These sources include portions of sales of property like homes and cars and securities that are not subject to capital gains taxes, insurance policies redeemed, or the drawing down of bank accounts." Yahhhh, right. Notice they don’t mention such things as credit cards, or payday loans, or plain ol’ ordinary "debt". I’ll give you the link to the article if you choose this one.
- Everyone Knows Homeschooling Moms Are Ticking Time-Bombs of Psychosis! - In which I read a "critique of homeschooling" and decide that the critiquer needs serious–serious–critiquing herself.
- Code Reviews?! We Don’t Need No Steenkin’ Code Reviews! - More tech talk, mostly about the lonely life of a university tech person who is not in the ITS department, plus an apologia for NYI.
- Looking For Closure - 77% of the houses sold in Stockton, CA, in January were foreclosure sales. In the Sacramento, CA, area there were 1,815 homes sold in January, but almost as many–1,782–foreclosures were recorded in that area in the same month. Similar things are happening all across the country. Realtors are offering "foreclosure tour" buses. Life has changed greatly in the past two years.
Pick a topic. Any topic. Or suggest one.
