Inside voices



I just posted this on the keyboard of a person who sits near me! Let's see if she gets it. Wish me luck!

BaconchartYou will have to click on it to make it bigger, I think. Basically, it is a bacon flow chart -- utterly brilliant! Hat tip: SourKraut

Pondering

I have to confess that I am seriously considering quitting blogging. Any thoughts from the Peanut Gallery?

Inside Voices, Please!

JUST SO YOU KNOW: EVERYONE AROUND YOU
IS BEING FORCED TO LISTEN TO YOUR CONVERSATION. (shhhhcards, I am putting them up in all cubes)

Damn, I hate cubical environments just for this reason. I don't care or want to know about your cat and his hairballs nor that Billy doesn't want to do his homework or that your wife wants to know if she can charge new shoes for the kids to the shared credit card. I really don't want to hear you call the advise nurse to tick off a litany of your disgusting symptoms.

Thanks, I feel better now!

Soda bread
Potato soup
Shepherd's pie
Guinness stew

Cheers and Erin Go Bragh!

Junk Mail Equals Paper Spam

I don't know about anyone else, but I HATE receiving junk mail. I think about how much paper, ink and energy went into creating it and it makes me nuts. Oy.

  • Junk mail contributes to global warming: The greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the manufacturing of the 6.5 million tons of paper required for junk mail annually is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of 3.7 million cars.
  • Junk mail destroys Endangered Forests: More than 100 million trees a year are cut down and made into paper for junk mail. Those trees come from Endangered Forests like Canada’s Boreal and Indonesia’s rainforests—forests that play a vital role in our fight against global warming.

Now that we have a Do Not Call Registry, the folks over at ForestEthics are pushing for a Do Not Mail Registry. They have a petition, please sign it! I did.

Ouch

Blogging has been light because I have pulled a muscle in my neck last week. I missed this fun time among others. I am finally on the road to recovery and should be back to the snark tomorrow.
