Your skin cancer risk has increased because of climate change. Your children are even more likely than you are to get skin cancer because they have been under a thinner ozone layer for their entire lives. Your grandchildren are almost certain to get multiple skin cancers. I am not telling you...

To be 'in the doghouse' means to be in trouble. If you were in Snoopy's dog house, that would be pretty great, though. Snoopy has an incredible house, something along the lines of the TARDIS, as far as the relationship between the outside and inside of the structure goes. To select/to pick/to...

Your chances of getting skin cancer are much higher than for your parents. Your children are even more likely have skin cancer than you are. Your grandchildren will almost certainly have skin cancer. This is because of the decrease of our ozone layer due to climate change. The ozone layer is...

goodbye/Goodbye "There's no good in goodbye." This saying is based on a lack of understanding of the meaning & derivation of the word "goodbye." "Goodbye" comes from "godbwye" which is a contraction of “God be with ye.” Is it true that “goodbye” is actually short for a religious phrase? |...

Who's the Monster? I've been reading a lot lately about psychopathy (or more properly, antisocial personality disorder) and its overlaps and connections with autism. It should be noted that "psychopathy" doesn't actually have a formal definition in the DSM or ICD, but I fail to see any major...

ZOMBIE Person who has been awake too long Numb/insensitive Really old zombie movies from the 30s/40s/50s were pretty dry. They were dull witted humans who had a spell put on them. Normal enough to begin with but under the control of someone else. No will of their own. Zombies have been very...

The word "huggybear" makes me think of: something to say to a child diapers, because one brand is called Huggies backpacks that are shaped like animals Care Bears the color light brown, like tan, but more interesting Do I have to inject this entry with feelings? Is it necessary to have loads...

What is the point of studying what and how I think? Don't you just think and that's it? Who cares what you think? Do you think anybody (else) will get any value from you studying your own thoughts? Don't you get tired of doing that? Why do you do it anyway? Don't you have anything better to do...

I have been looking for patterns in my life that I would like to stop from repeating. It is easy to get used to the way things go in your life and to stop paying attention to what is really happening. I thought it might be good to pay attention and make a big effort to stop repeating patterns...

Kissyface is a word I never heard used before I heard a fellow 30 years old at church say that was what he wanted. He hoped to find a girlfriend because he'd like a little 'kissyface.' It seemed pretty saccharine, to me. It sounded like something a person would say to a baby. Or possibly a pet...

I liked the title 'Cause of Death' because it sounded objective, like a legal document based on a medical diagnosis. What else do I think about the phrase 'Cause of Death'? I think it tells very little about a person's life. It summarizes the last moments of being and could be identical for...

Employment Discrimination Hey, guess what's grinding my gears today? The issue of unemployment in the autism community, as well as the issue of employment in the autism community. Both are problematic, and as with most things it's an institutional problem. The figure I hear is 90% unemployment...

Note from yesterday Editing potato characteristics so that they turn into sentient creatures. Aliens, probably, since there are three types of potato groupings. Maybe I will be putting these next to 8 groups of emotions with levels.....[like from happy to ecstatic] and somehow combining these...
