Is That Pizza I Smell? Chat #147

1.  Do you like cucumbers? Is there a favorite way for you to prepare them?  I don't like them but Mr BC is very fond of the larger English cucumber.  I slice them in medium thin slices w/o peeling them and cover them in a jar with fat free Italian dressing with a splash more of garlic vinegar and shake.  They pickle for a while and don't last long around here.

2.  How good a housekeeper are you? So so. 

3.  Please finish this: To spend a day at a spa with a pedicure and massage and aroma therapy would be amazing!

4.  How do you handle times when you are "down" or "blue"( depressed )? I am rarely down, Though I think sometimes I worry unnecessarily and have to tell myself to snap out of it, 

5.  Have you started using essential oils, since they have become so popular?  I am a fan of WD40, is that essential enough?

QUANTUM Fruitloopery-April A-Z

 

 Quantum Fruitloopery (QFL) is the theory that the word "quantum" could be sprinkled on any New Age, spiritual, "alternative" medicine, or better-than-magic technological claim This instantly transform it from "crazier than a shit-house rat" to "scientifically plausible" in the minds of many credulous people.  So we might logically define it as the use of scientific language inappropriately and without comprehension in order to increase believability of a concept.

Carl Sagan, Right Again!

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness..."
