Best o' the Blog List

If you haven't checked out any of the blogs I follow, this might a good day to do some investigating.

The weather is crappy and hopefully you are all warm and snugly in bed with ... your laptop?



Anyway, go to either of my blogs and check out the sidebar on the right.

Click on any blog or blogger  that looks interesting.

Here's a hint of what you'll find:


TBTAM (The Blog That Ate Manhattan)

Dr. Peggy's blog post is called "The OBG Why Me Blues."

Funny song involves stirrups, an examination table, doctors in latex gloves - all the things that make you shiver.



Heinous hats

If you haven't checked out her tri-weekly assortment of unusual, bizarre, cute and just plain odd hats this is the week-end to dive in.

It's all about bunny hats!



Geezeronline

Well somebody had to give us the final answer.

This week Doug Jamieson learned which day will host the end of the world!

Read this blog and prepare to face your maker or makeress!



She Who Seeks

Funny/sad savage chicken cartoon about Earth Day was posted by Debra yesterday.

Anyway I'm off to do some Green stuff this morning and my poor dog has developed sore hot spots on her paws so I'm going to be scouring pet shops this afternoon.
(If anyone knows of a remedy PLEASE pass it along.)



Have a great Easter Sunday!

Don't Panic! I'm Sharing My favourite Plague Cure

Image via Wikipedia

I've got an appointment with my dentist at noon and I'm not in a good mood.


I slump at my computer and check face book. I get a little cheered up when I win a game of lexulous. I schmooze around fb for awhile then I jog over to blogger.

It's Friday so I know there will be a few good posts.

As 'Heinous Hats' starts to unfurl across my screen I wish I could be organized enough to commit myself to a time schedule. Heinous hats is published three times a week. Good heavens, even when she had food poisoning she managed to drag herself to her computer to tell her faithful readers she was too sick to blog!

I beat myself up for awhile about my lackadaisical attitude.

I'm depressed again.

But wait! What a blog! Hats made out of cakes! (There is a reason I have so many root canals and another one is looming.)

I'm smiling again.

More cheerful now, I blog on over to see what the Geezeronline learned this week.

PLAGUE IN SASKATCHEWAN?

Somewhat alarmed, I click on the link and this is how, in my pre-dental appointment funk, I read the article from the Star.

The plague has been found in a dead prairie dog in Saskatchewan 's Grasslands National Park, but staff say the risk the notorious disease poses to people is “very low.”
The plague which killed millions during the Middle Ages, is a disease caused by a strain of bacteria that can affect both animals and humans. It’s naturally occurring throughout the southern Prairies in wildlife such as ground squirrels and mice and can be transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected flea...

The plague is usually is extremely rare in humans and treatable if diagnosed in time. The last case of a human contracting the plague in Canada was in 1939, but there are 10 to 15 cases every year in the south-western United States.

Two deaths were attributed to plague in the United States in 1996.

There have been several outbreaks of plague in human history. It has killed 200 million people around the world. In 14th century Europe, plague — or Black Death, as it was known — killed 30 per cent of the European population by some estimates...



Jeesh!

Luckily, I know the only cure for the plague is a chocolate hat cake or you don't have one sitting right there on your counter - warm scones with jam and whipped cream... mmm.

Cancelling my dental appointment...
