And the rolls keep coming in

Life is hard when you're lazy.
PInterest
Today I have watched Mythbusters, followed by Bourne: Supremacy. Currently, I am following Jurassic Park, which we have seen at least four times over the past four months. We have been watching Anime' Hunter X Hunter, we are now on episode 28.  By golly, I hope that Gon and Kurapika defeat Hisoka soon. I hate him so much.

Shortly after the toilet paper ravaging, someone mentioned that TP could be ordered online. So I did some researching and came up with some orders. What I ordered in March arrived in July.  The quality is quite different from Charmin's. 


#1 from China, #2 Korea, #3 Charmin
Charmin, 2 ply
64 rolls, 3 ply
3 ply, Korean

Okay, the size differences we have clearly displayed. But, the important question is: which one is most absorbent, stronger?

The comparable sizes: #1 and #2 are the same size.  #3 Charmin is smaller. 




The least absorbent is #3 Charmin. #1 also low absorbency.  #2 was excellent.

Good well-made product, Korea

Given my rigorous research, I guessing that we are set for four or more months. By then, who knows what product will find itself flying off the shelves.

This is such an odd choice of a post. But, the brain said "Why not? Why the heck not?" So, who knows what else will fly off my fingers.

The Noble Lineage

Michelangelo's Creation of David in the Sistine Chapel
The single touch


After spending/wasting a good part of the afternoon, the truth has emerged.  GENI© has wandered through the family line of my mother’s grand-mother, Sarah Ann.  Twisting and turning, I followed only the male line for ease of surnames, there it was:

I am related to God Almighty!  God Almighty is my 93rd Great-Grandmother!

Sarah Ann introduced some great genes into the humble family line, as her husband Elish’s information dead-ends when he was orphaned with his brother in Ohio. 

Her ancestors came from England = from Wales= from being the King of the Druids Wales = from Italy = from land of the Hebrews.  The researcher(s) made some phenomenal leaps to some conclusions that announced Adam had a daughter (!) who started the whole march of lineage.

While I could be rejoicing here, there are few things I know already.

I am a Child of God without following a bloodline; the only bloodline I follow is Christ’s blood. And I also know that the jump from Sarah Anna involves some crazy speculation.  God Almighty is not my 93rd grandmother.

I will take the part about:

BrĂ¢n “Fendigaid” (the Blessed) ap Llur Lieddiarth, Saint, Brenin of Silures

Or, Cerwyd ap Crydon, King of the Druids and Cornwall

Or, Tros, King of Troy.


P.S. My mother always told me that “Grammy” Sarah Ann had been kidnapped and raised by Gypsies and had the gift of second sight.  People came to her to read tea leaves.  Also, I wonder what tracing through the matriarchal lines would show me?

And, Queen Elizabeth 1 is my second cousin 14 times removed!

The Scientific Method of Problem Solving




“Question! Always question!”
Form a hypothesis.
Search for the answer.
Think about what has been discovered.
Decide based on facts.
Conclusion drawn.

Simple questions with simple answers...

Migraine Aura: if only I could make money off this!



I like simple questions with answers. 

Last Sunday, I went to the emergency room after having a migraine since Thursday.  The barometric pressure was changing, and when that happens, I am in pain.  No, in agony.

Through Saturday night and into Sunday morning, I was awake, watching the migraine aura paint swirls and star bursts on my ceiling. 
This is called an "Amnesia Migraine".  I have a few of these...I think...

Years ago when I had to seek help from Urgent Care or the ER, I was regarded with suspicion, as if I were there to get a narcotic, a fix.  Now, with computer records available, any doctor within my primary care physician’s clinic group can access and see all the interventions.  Then they know I am not there just to get drugs. 
This speaks for itself.  Thanks, Bing.com!

As brain research improves, treatment options for my type of migraine improve.  Someday, maybe there will be a simple answer.

Oh, by the way…
