I should stop watching videos about Lollipop Chainsaw. I always just end up with "Hey Mickey" stuck in my head.

Still, could be worse. At least "Hey Mickey" is a good song.

I have got to a point in my SFF challange where it's just a heap of a tangled mess. I know it won't sort itself out if I dn't go work on it, but right now this minute I am doing my best avoidance technique.
Make that my second best avoidance technique. It was closely followed by my best one - going for a walk. I saw some cute cygnets though, and we picked up a load of fallen branches for firewood. I hate it when it's windy, but at least it's profitable.

Off to drop off recycling and get some grocery items. With all three kids in tow.

Wish me luck!!

Good luck. *Has visions of tj returning with numerous groceries but having left kids in recycling*

I'd ask you for a comparison, but I know where that path leads.

Can I ask if anyone knows of a charity i could support please? Yes, I know there are millions. Here's what I'm looking for:

something literacy based - writing or reading - and they need to take PayPal donations

I don't mind where, Honolulu, Harlem, Hounslow or Harari is fine.

Shower me with suggestions please.

The only one I'm aware of is Kids Need to Read. It's U.S.-based.

Going camping with my son's scout pack today. I'll need vodka before the sun falls. I don't think they let you have vodka, though.

A'camping I am going as well, though not with a scout pack...that I'm aware of. On that note, must go prepare!*


*buy vodka

Ooooh - you must all go check out Google. Now. Alan Turing's birthday is being celebrated by a digital recreation of an analogue computer thingy on the main page.

It.

Is.

AWESOME.

That is a remarkable device. I enjoyed the video despite my longterm hatred of Legos.

(As a matter of fact, I stepped on one last night in the dark as I checked on my sleeping nine-year-old)

ETA: Wow, Raven, do you just sit around and make up new fetishes? ; }

I just had an AtCT idea in the middle of writing my SFF challenge.

I am overloaded with jokes and now I don't know which one to write first.

Oh, and does anyone know a treatment for ticks? (Just research, I promise )

The best I know to handle ticks is to spread clear nail polish on them and then BURN THEM WITH FIRE!!!! Ok well you can skip the fire part. But the nail polish is good because it stops them from being able to breathe so they retract their nasty little heads. Then from there you can pull them off. If you try to pull them off with their head still inside then the head stays in you and can get infected and what not.

Hope that helps. :)

Never use nail polish or another irritant (including hot matches) on a tick. It increases your chances of getting Lyme disease, as the tick vomits its stomach content into you as a reflex.

The best way to remove a tick is with a tick remover, or tweezers if you don't have one.

I think I had a date like that once.

Well, thank you for trying to help at least.

I just want to point out, that this:

made me shudder. I can read all kinds of horrific stuff and won't so much as raise an eyebrow, but the thought of that...

C'mon peeps, like I need more things to keep me awake at night.
