Questions for the Masses

Should I be concerned about a spider bite that is still present and sometimes itchy after 3 weeks?? (I'm not going to hatch spiders out of my shoulder am I!?!?!?!?)

How should I cut my hair on Saturday? Like this? Or this? Or something else?

  1. i like the first one, cause it's fall. fall makes you feel cold? you lose heat form your head?

    hmm. i need a haircut/hairshape badly.

    time for another visit to tronts with a haircut to boot!

  2. That would be so cool if you had spiders hatching out of your shoulder!! Be sure to take pictures! :)

    As long as you're not experiencing symptoms besides some mild itching, I don't think you have anything to worry about (unless the bite looks like these photos here: http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/spiders/ss/brown_recluse_spider_bite.htm)

  3. My understanding of spider bites is this:
    - if the venom is dangerously toxic, you would be dead or very ill by now
    - if the venom is not too toxic, lightly scratching/touching it will actually help it heal, I think by delivering more blood to it (I was told this works, counter to mosquito bites)
    - if the venom is radioactive, you would have great powers and correspondingly great responsibility by now

    As to hair, I think I like the longer (first) one better, but also I wouldn't trust a man's opinion about hair.

  4. afro-chick: you can also throw in a visit with lil' ol' me!!!

    lisa: gross. pretty sure that would have already happened...

    thom: you're saying you've not heard the stories of my super-powers yet!??!?! also, man-opinions matter most on my hair, since in the end, they're the ones i want to attract. (i mean that in the most non-desperate way possible)



    everyone: i'm leaning towards something in the mid-length, assymetrical bob range.

  5. Re: pumpkin anything - according to Amy V.(M)'s post on facebook, Chapman's has a Praline Pumpkin Pie icecream. If I see it in the stores I will let you know where.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
