Messing about with empathy
It is true that the early worm gets the worm. Or I got really lucky. I’ve been switching between staying at a hostel in Bozeman and camping at a state park* near Three Forks as we hunt for a rental. The state park campground is small and popular. I get off work at 9 p.m.…
Nothing is as simple as it seems. I like to share interesting trivia, but I always do some research first because facts shared on the internet are only about 60% trustworthy. Recently I read that you can’t count to a billion in your lifetime because even if you counted night and day, it would take…
This is Alfred. He is a cat. I have no idea what he is thinking. I need your help. Let me know what Alfred is thinking. I’ll post the answers in a future post. Thanks.
Happy Vesuvius Day. It seems strange to say “happy” since we’re commemorating a volcanic eruption that killed a lot of people. Most people have heard of the 79 AD eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and seen pictures of the casts of the dead. However, I was curious about a different part of this famous event. How…
When I saw this meme in my Facebook feed, I had to save it. It is me to a T. I’ve had to meet a ton of new people this week at work. It seems like everyone but me is a returning employee (which is sad because we are seriously short-staffed.) I get a lot…
Anyone who has been to my house has seen a rather large plant in my family room. I rescued this umbrella plant from the trash can of my boss in 1996. He was packing up his office, and the plant was almost dead, so he was going to chuck it. I was still in a…
If you said “spinosaurus” when you read the title of this post, then you keep up on dinosaur news. If you said, “Jennifer, you said dinosaurs were land animals,” thank you for reading my blog. Dinosaurs do live on land. They were not full-time aquatic creatures like whales or sharks. However, one dinosaur was built…
I have now been in Montana for two weeks. With any luck, we will have a rental soon, and Hubby and the kitties will join me. Hubby sent me a picture of Chewy being uber cute. I now know that my cat is seven wine bottles long. In honor of my three kitties, I’d like…
When I got married in 1995, I received a five-year diary as a gift. If you don’t know what a five-year diary is, it is a small book with a page for each day of the year. But instead of each page being for one day, the page is split into five sections of about…
More trivia showed up in my email, and I had to share it with you since it is about my favorite Disney character. Since birth, I have liked Winnie the Pooh (possibly before since Mom got her picture taken with the silly old bear at a mall while she was pregnant with me.) I like…
