I am almost at my goal with PayPerPost. My goal is $400 – that’s the iPod plus the iSkin case plus the A/C charger it turns out I didn’t need. I only need a couple more posts to make that goal! Hang in there folks (especially Kelly), we’re almost done. And then I will have [...]

Doin’ the Pump
I had no idea there were so many different pumps for mother’s milk that there would be a site called Breast Pump Reviews! But it seems like almost every female blogger I know has a brand new baby, so perhaps they will be interested in this site. It is pretty widely known that breastfeeding is [...]

The Beaux’ Stratagem
We almost never go out during the week, but last night we went to see The Beaux’ Stratagem at the Lansburgh Theater. It was the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s annual non-Shakespeare play; this one was written by George Farquhar in the early 18th century. It was really quite funny, I had a great time – the [...]
Searching for Health Info
There’s a new search engine for health information: YourHealthSearch.com – Community Driven. In addition to providing general, condition, and insurance searches, they also offer search engines that are targeted to a specific condition or symptom. I gave the system a test run by searching the ADHD search engine for “diet” – sure enough, it came [...]
The Big 20K
Remember this? (Unless you’ve been reading me since March 2002, you won’t remember it.) Well, now I’m up to this. My first 10k took three years and three months, and my second 10k took four years and nine months. I’m surprised it was that close at all, given that I haven’t edited as much in [...]
Want to Buy
Geeking ensues, then some philosophical stuff. I want to spend money! I think I am going to get the wireless headphones via Amazon. Unfortunately they come from a seller who charges almost $12 for shipping, but it’s still better than finding it slightly cheaper on eBay and having to pay out-of-pocket. As long as I [...]

Oh Blingo!
Well thanks to redwaterlily I now have another $25 to spend at Amazon! She was logged into Blingo when she made a winning search, so we both got a gift certificate! I have actually won a few hundred dollars through Blingo, with a total of 15 prizes since I joined in April 2005. If you [...]
Home Biz Blogger
Well here is a paid post I am all too happy to make! Instead of being paid for by some corporate monster, it’s from fellow blogger Eve, who is in my feed reader for her regular site, and who writes in her blog “Home Biz Blogger” about working from home. I’d much rather write about [...]
