Would You Want to Live Next Door to This Teen?

I have to say, I’m impressed. This teenager has figured out how to achieve nuclear fusion in the comfort of his own home. But would you want to live next door to a teen that smart? Sounds almost scary to me.

Keep in mind that’s a part of a hydrogen bomb, essentially.

On the plus side, just picture his college application. “Built fusion reactor in spare time.” That ought to impress the boards.

As a mother, though, I’m just picturing myself watching one of my kids try something like that: “Try not to blow up the entire neighborhood, dear!”

Who Belongs Here?

One of my absolute favorite sites is Etiquette Hell. Anytime I catch them having an update I lose a lot of working time just reading. Fortunately, they go months between updates and I’ve managed to keep myself away from the forums.

It’s all about the etiquette mistakes people make, obviously. But we aren’t just talking little oops in most cases. We’re talking serious rudeness. Read the rest of this entry »

I Need New Sunglasses!

Don’t know how soon I’ll buy some, but I really, really need them. My current pair was really cheap, and it shows. They’re peeling.

Sunglasses are very important to me. I wear them all the time outside. I bought cheap this last time after having two pairs in a row broken by my kids. Very frustrating.

I’m one of those people who always gets really picky about sunglasses. I have my usual type, which are fairly plain, but with somewhat larger than seem to be currently popular lenses. That means that right now it’s pretty hard for me to find some in my style. Read the rest of this entry »
