Disagreeing with Facts
“I think one of the reasons that that example comes to mind is because this is a report of facts and research,” she said. “This is a summary of really important and, in some cases, government-funded work that was done to understand the causes and effects of sexual and gender violence. What does it mean that the Trump administration doesn’t want the public to have that information?”
Sadly, I think this is a case of it’s not a problem if we don’t acknowledge it.
My Eclipse Time-lapse
Not much of a timelapse. I’m impressed by the clouds more than the partial eclipse
Help Me Help You
“I used to cycle through disbelief, shame, anger. Now I just show compassion and move on,” she added.
I’ve heard this happening myself while in the waiting room for my doctor. The person first didn’t want a nurse practitioner, but a doctor. She was presented with options. Then she wanted a doctor that went through a medical school in the US. More options were given. Then she wanted a doctor that wasn’t a woman. Finally she wanted a doctor that was white.
Childhood Nightmares
Trilogy of Terror was something I should have never watched as a kid. The little warrior doll scares the hell out of me, even today! (via the loop)
Breakfast the Other Day
The girls and I went to breakfast at the local diner the other day. They find eating at a diner so comforting.
Clean
I have been here blogging on and off for since 2001.
Lately, I’ve been in the off mode. Life has been busy the last six years. Raising kids, changing jobs, and dealing with the general curveballs life throws. Times for carefree thought are rare. When an opportunity presents itself, it is almost always limited to what you can do on your iPhone. So posting an Instrgram photo, sharing my status on Facebook, or reblogging on Tumblr is almost only what can be done.
There is an opportunity here.
I have often been depressed looking at this space, where my blog would reside, and see it going unused. I still go to my Tumblr. I go to my Instagram. My Facebook. I use the web of services and tools that pervade my daily life.
This page will now be the launching pad, the hub, the Grand Central Terminal of my interweb life. A small snippet of a post or a photo that leads to other photos will be placed here. To access the main content, simply click the link after the posting.
You’re Doing it Wrong – Scrambled Eggs
One common mistake people make when cooking scrambled eggs is adding milk or cream. You may have been whisking your eggs with milk since you were a little kid, but we’re telling you now: It’s time to stop.
It may seem counterintuitive, but the addition of milk, cream or any other liquid for that matter, will actually make it more likely that your eggs will turn out dry. By thinning out the eggs, it’s easier to overcook them. Most importantly, the milk dilutes the taste of the eggs. It also screws with the texture, leaving the eggs slightly rubbery — and no one wants rubbery eggs. If you’re using good, farm fresh eggs, you don’t need anything except maybe a little salt and pepper to make them taste delicious. A little butter never hurt anyone, either.
I’m never sure how to take articles that tell you that you’ve been doing it wrong. You know the ones, like you’re eating this food wrong or using this tool wrong.
We have been making more and more scrambled eggs since the kids enjoy it this way. Me? I prefer a good over easy egg.
Goodbye Mr. Spock
I was always felt great knowing I shared a birthday with Mr. Spock. As has been said on the interwebs today, he did live long and prosper.
Conversing with Graecyn
I took this 90 second video when I picked up Graecyn and Mia at Mama and Papa’s house. Graecyn was in a conversating mood.
