Gaining weight by the minute??? Man, there's 525,600 minutes in a year! Lessee now...if I gained an ounce every minute, then I'd weigh an additional 32,850lbs in a year's time. Since I may gain five pounds in a year that means each minute I'm gaining .0000095 lbs, which doesn't seem too bad. He could be right, I could be gaining that much weight by the minute just from inhaling particulates from all of these coal fired powerplants and SUVs.
Time was when you could put a free sign on anything and it would be gone in moments. Here it has been well over a week and nobody has taken us up on the free toilet. Thinking that maybe it needs a cartoon spokesman I installed Rolly, the toilet using snowman.
Nothing. And with this light rain I fear that Rolly isn't long for this world...
The lowly leech is in the news this week, or rather a new Mechanical Leech for medicinal purposes. Leeches are great for restoring circulation into reluctant tissues and veins, but the patients don't seem to be very hip to it.
Bolotomy short life?? On the contrary - I still use it. Kids love it. I made a map-making template in ClarisWorks which we still use in the new AppleWorks to create picts then use Bolotomy to make or maps. 3rd - 5th graders are thrilled to tank around in their own worlds!
