Maneater - Hall & Oates

Two Better Looking

Charlie Chaplin once came in third in a Chaplin look-alike contest.

Smell Some Fresh Body

So said the subject line of an email in my Gmail spam folder. Actually, the entire line said "SMELL some fresh body of adorable Breanne W. Dysinger" and the originating address was from Breanne at: aevaky@taty.org.

Here's a screen shot of the email: (click image for larger view)



I posted the image because when I copied the mail to a Notepad document to then post in here, I got a lot more weird stuff that was in tiny letters between the rest of the text; here's an example:

There was a lot more, but I'm sure you get the gist.  I'm certain all that and the rest was an attempt to get past the spam filters.

I think I'm going to petition my congressman to pass a law that mandates the death penalty for spammers.  After a few dozen robo-calls this last week from politicians wanting my vote, I doubt he'd go for it because I want them to be executed, too.

No Zzzzz's For Me

You Are an Insomniac

It's likely that this quiz confirms what you already know - you have insomnia.

It's difficult for you to sleep well through the night, and it's having a bad effect on your life.

You should probably seek treatment for your insomnia ... or at least try some home remedies.


Consider giving up caffeine and sticking to a sleep schedule. Everyone deserves a full night of rest. 





No, it's no surprise to me, but I don't have insomnia ALL the time. I do, however, have problems finding a regular sleep schedule. I do enjoy a good, uninterrupted sleep, but absolutely hate trying to go to sleep unless I'm really tired; otherwise, I'll lie there and think of all the things I should have done that day and the things I need do the next.  I also have some really strange dreams if I have too much stimulation before bedtime. (or eat too late)
