 So the "I'm mad" palindrome?  Cool as that is, "Weird Al" Yankovic wrote an entire song in palindrome.  It's title is  "Bob,"  and it's remarkable. Kind of a nothing day here.  I've nothing to show for Tiny Needle Tuesday, of course.  There's a new button on AI that's caught my fancy.  It's "Lunar New Year."  This is my daughter and me from the weekend of the Walking Dead convention and the Hugh Laurie concert.  We both look pretty much the same, I guess. Well, her hair is back to its natural brown.  For the time being.  😉

 

Oh, no no no no no.  Uh-uh.   I have tried a whole lot of Dr Pepper products, except Peeps.  I don't do Peeps.  Candy, beans, Tic Tacs, Jack Links, even Dr Pepper cake.  Most of them weren't great, but let's not kid ourselves --- I'll try this. For me, the best Dr Pepper comestible remains  and the best Dr Pepper-adjacent product is Gone now, but I bought many, many a tube...

A couple more cars on the purple train started yesterday: My therapist gave me these today as a late birthday gift.  (We've been "together" so long that we joke we could switch chairs in the office and get just as much done.)  I don't know why that one rose stem bent on me.  Maybe as I tried to get everything in the vase?  At any rate, they're so pretty and so much appreciated. I got myself a new crock pot (or slow cooker these days, evidently) the other day.  It's a little guy, 'cause I'm sure not cooking for crowds anymore.  The one that I had to replace was a wedding gift, I think, so I can't complain about it lasting 40 years.  This is the new one: On the bottom of its carton was this: Ohhhhkay...  I'm well past reproducing, and please, Fates, let me be done with cancer.  The warning, though, is due to chemicals you might be exposed to.  It isn't clear where the chemicals are, though.  The paint?  The heating case?  Th...

Did y'all have to chew on these in elementary school? One of those days each year when routine went by the wayside?  If memory serves, they tasted awful, and chewing for as long as we were supposed to seemed impossible. Then we judged one another based on how many purple spots were on our teeth.  (We were SO cruel.) I'm kind of surprised they're still around.  We all got a new toothbrush at the end of the day.  Really, really out of the ordinary for us in the 60s. Some exciting news from tonight.  I polished my nails! First time since my fall.  The left hand dealt with my right hand easily, but the reverse was not true.  These two dang fingers are still making fine motor work tricky.  But I got it done.  Success!!

Today has felt like a sick day.  I've just sort of shlumped on the couch, no energy, listlessly scrolling through I did learn some things. For instance, pigeons can sit: It is true and clear that I over-anthropomorphize animals.  Looking at this, I "hear" the pigeon saying, "Nope.  Not in the mood for Central Park.  You can't make me, you can't make me." Still on avian topics: Cassowary eggs are bright green.  And big, it would seem.  The evolutionary purpose of green eggs* escapes me.  They can't be easily hidden.  Then again, cassowaries are considered the most dangerous birds, so maybe they aren't worried about predators. *So in the book title, are only the eggs green, or are the eggs and  the ham green?
