darkemeraldsThe trouble with the Daily Posting commitment is that...well, there are bound to be some posts of virtually no substance.
Ahem! First of all, I bought one of these off NoMoreRack a couple of weeks ago.
It was on my desk just like that a couple of days ago. Norm walked up and after observing it, asked--very hesitatingly--"Um...what is that?"
LOL. I resisted the obvious crack and said, "It's a USB flash charger." Which it is. Very handy little device. You charge it, it charges your phone. Seems like it might save the day on a long flight.
Second of all, also in technology, my 83-year-old mom just got her first smartphone and is learning how to text. This is a major breakthrough for the I Heart Bell Telephone generation. Personally, I find text messages as heartwarming and welcome as letters in the mail used to be--and I hate talking on the phone; it will be interesting to see whether they make my mom feel more connected or less.
Third of all, as a follow up to the brain-cascade and migraine events of the past couple of weeks, it has taken several days, but I'm feeling "normal" again, whatever that is.
PS: NoMoreRack is the tumblr of bargain-shopping-porn. Don't go there unless you're feeling strong.
