Do you have things that you are inexplicitly crazy for? Here’s mine;

• Wooden furniture. That might be from growing up with absolute crap. I used cardboard boxes for shelves.
• Paper. All kinds of paper, journals, pens and markers. Even though physical writing is excruciating for me and my penmanship is illegible.
• Books, but that’s not inexplicable. That would make bookshelves to die for



• Globes and Maps. John is collecting maps for his future walk to Kaido. He wrote: “One traveler/photographer recommends getting hold of various local tourist maps, though even those don’t always capture more-recent road re-routing, landmark leveling, detours. Still, as tanaka1 points out, they are often fun and colorful.” You have no idea how cool those local maps are! I had quite a collection from all over the country but somewhere along the way I seem to have lost them all.

My youngest daughter has inherited all those likes from me. We drool over the bookshelves and she even got a globe of the moon finally!

Here’s some different kinds of map fun, compliments of google.

On a last note, Zemanta gave me lots of pictures of cardboard boxes to add to this post! lol

And…!! “Mapping the Average Penis Size Worldwide” Awesome. You’ll have to Google that for yourself, I’m not putting a link.

I took Actifed for something like 30 years. A lot of actifed. I have allergies year-round. Then suddenly I couldn’t find it anymore in my state. When visiting NYC I bought several packages, but they didn’t seem to be working. Then I ordered several more from drugstore.com and they weren’t either! Wth? Same original packaging, nothing anywhere said they’d changed it. I only discovered that after lots of googling. So I bought Sudafed for a while. Then bam, that disappeared too. Along with a whole slew of others I tried that didn’t work anyway.

In my state now all the allergy meds are kept behind the pharmacy counter, they scan your driver’s license and make you sign for them, so obviously they can keep track of the quantity you are buying. So why pray tell can’t they sell ones with those nasty forbidden ingredients? Better to take the recommended dosage of a good one than overdosing myself with the worthless ones like I’ve been doing. Well, 1000′s of sneezes later I googled “original actifed” and discovered I could order it online from a Canadian pharmacy. They still limit quantities, they still require a copy of my driver’s license, but hey, I already do that for the worthless drugs so that’s not a problem! Last night for the first time in years I took an Actifed. What a blessed bloody relief!

With all that’s still on the news about meth labs being discovered I have to wonder how successful this stupid campaign has been. They seem to get their hands on the stuff they need just fine. Maybe I should go hook up with one and ask them what the trick is

America is becoming ridiculous.

First off, I’m removing January from the year, because if the rest goes like January, I’ll never make to to December.

Now that we have that part fixed, I seriously need to do one or more of the following:

1. Sell my car
2. Get rid of my Internet
3. Quit paying my mortgage maybe?
4. Forget anything resembling medical expenses
5. Get a few website jobs

Now obviously number 5 seems like the logical plan, except that is the only one I have no control over.

I’ve been bidding on jobs at Elance, but are you going to pick me: jobs completed: 0 money earned: $0 (through them) or some dude with: jobs completed: 25 money earned: $3368787? Duh. I have no idea what it takes to get your first job under your belt there when you are bidding against 20 or so “some dude”s. That wouldn’t be my first choice of where to get a job anyway because I don’t work in the most organized fashion and I am afraid I’ll somehow screw it up with all their rules and regulations.

So I keep making sites for free for friends which at least adds to my portfolio I suppose. A lot of good that has done me so far.
