from fragments to foofaraw

Once upon a time, I charged up my young daughter.

 

Today, many many years later she still gives off sparks once in awhile.

Mrs. 4444’s ever popular FF post collection is upon us again. If you are looking for more FF posts just click the FF badge (BTW don’t those objects in the badge look like tattooed eggs?).

aminal - word verification is not helping my poor spelling. Really if it had asked me to spell animal I probably would have spelled it that way.

I broke my own rule on the I Can’t Blog blog.  I added a second post.  Maybe I’ll do one post per year.  Don’t hold your breath (unless you just woke up).  Go check it out I’m hoping to get some comments going over there again.  The first (only post for a few months) post generated well over a 100 comments from readers.

Do you remember that I read the newspaper?

Since I write a blog you probably knew I could read. Today too many people fail to subscribe to major newspapers so they are hurting (both people and papers). I still like the newspaper. Of course it’s online too but drinking my coffee and flipping the pages made of real paper is more satisfying than searching around their web page. (online - blogs are the most satisfying)

Today I was reading the latest “What’s Your Problem?” story. I hope that these investigative services for the major problems of daily life never disappear. "I'm calling the newspaper!" is a great way to get a company's attention.  Today’s story gave me a new word/term - “proximate cause”.

Basically it’s a way that insurance companies get out of paying claims in multiple cause situations. The story told of a driver that was fleeing another car and smashed into some parked cars. A woman who had parked her car on the street in front of her home filed a claim against the fleeing driver for smashing her car. Since there was a third party (shooter still being investigated) shooting at the driver, the driver was less than 51 percent negligent in the accident and insurance does not need to pay.

That sucks.

Do you ever count anything on a counter top?

Well that’s going to be it for now, because much more and this will become a foofaraw.
