In this week’s installment, we learn of two women worried about their relationships – one has a controlling man, the other, a man unwilling to support her. The doctor’s advice? They should do a cost-benefit analysis to help them make a decision. Yup. bharatmatrimony.com has a counseling website (http://betweenus.bharatmatrimony.com). At a minimum, this thing is [...]

I’m done…continued (so I guess I wasn’t done…)
Libby has made me famous! I’ve been posted on at least two blogs with the “I’m done” Canadian post. And the replies are great! It seems a LOT of Canadians had no idea that we say “I’m done ____” and the rest of the world says “I’m done with ___” Yay for me and public [...]

New York vermin
I went to Duane Reade today to pick up a package of roach traps for large roaches, and a live mouse trap. I went to the cashier to pay for it and he said “Have a nice day!” Does it LOOK like I’m going to have a nice day??? (FYI, I only saw one roach [...]

I Remember…
As promised, I decided to put up some of my writings from writing class. These were written in 10 minutes using a writing prompt, and I have barely edited them in order to keep up with the blog. So we aren’t talking top quality! Observing I remember, this morning, the older woman got on the [...]

Things that aren’t on the Internet… and interesting facts about blood thinners
I assume everything is on the internet now, so I get annoyed when I google things that, shockingly, nobody has written about yet. My friend planning a circus trapeze class birthday party, and it occurred to me that perhaps I should proceed cautiously since I’m on blood thinners (coumadin) – after all, extreme sports are [...]

Patience
On patience (after day 1 of a patience workshop at New York Insight): The teacher says, patience is not passive, but rather it is hard work born out of that moment between experiencing an emotion and acting on that emotion. I think it’s easy to conjure up images of getting immediately angry at someone, or [...]

The financial worth of being with your kids…?
So I embarked a long time ago on a plan to visualize maternal/paternal health care in different countries. I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to ruin the actual post and visualization. But I’ve encountered issues and need help. As far as the visualization goes, I’m set. My friend David and I figured [...]

Molly (/Susie) and Marcel Monkey!
For Christmas Preethi and I made these monkeys for our niece (Molly). The pattern was made, and is freely available, by an obviously awesome woman Larissa and are called Molly Monkey patterns. Actually Preethi, who is an awesome crafter, improvised on the male monkey. For the girl one that I made, here are the pieces [...]

WorkFlowy and Pinterest
My latest new thing is WorkFlowy. I found out about it while researching…I don’t remember what…… and some guy said that this website is perfect for people with ADD but provided no additional description. I thought “oh my god what’s that??” and clicked the icon, which sadly just opened the icon instead of the actual [...]
