Neither This Nor Next Friday…

1) Go Swedish Troll Hunters! The Researchers Who Strive To Unmask Online Haters.

“…The agenda is to raise hell about all the hate on the internet…” “….The anonymity provided by the internet fosters communities where people can feed on each other’s hate without consequences…”

2) Sweden’s Burning Christmas Goat. The Gavle Goat tweets, blogs, and does not take lightly to arsen.

Beh.

Beh.

3) Ok self-help time… 

a) 9 Lies We Tell Ourselves.

b) What Doctors Can Tell Just By Looking At Your Eyes.

If you click around, they’ve also got what skin, nails etc will tell docs about your health, but I chose Eyes as a nod to the science of iridology – more than 10 years ago I had an eating/ digestion problem – I was a huge steak and potatoes girl, adding full-fat glasses of milk and Planet Smoothie peanut butter shakes to the three full meals I already ate…. and I got hunger pangs a lot. No, it’s actually not a “dream come true”, it’s incredibly inconvenient to have to keep eating all the time. Think when you can’t even last through a meeting and have to carry a peanut butter shake into the meeting room with you.

I wasn’t even that skinny (but wasn’t “fat” either; “fat” was during pregnancy when I put on 25kg and 21kg respectively, with each rockstar, though I still passed all the pregnancy sugar tests fine), but I was getting hunger pangs. I thought the answer was to eat more. A former mentor in Singapore recommended iridology (to be exact, Dr John Paulase of Panaga Holistic Center in Adelphi shopping center). I still credit the diagnosis he did that day (about how I digest certain foods much more efficiently than others, what generally ails me, what doesn’t) with many dietary changes I’ve kept up ’til today.

4) Sadly, The Biggest Career Crashes Of 2014.

    Wow! Those libraries are beautiful! And many of them are in Paris, Rome, Europe.

    The biggest career crashes link is serious stuff. I could not go through all 30 of them. Stopped half way.

    Miss Rockstar has really missed the spot. 😀

    A very happy new year to you and your family!

      Same to you.. And – despite fear of being a “yes person” – yes I find the libraries really really beautiful (bet there are also the smells of all those old books, which you would never get from Kindle) and yes I stopped halfway with the career crashes too. Bit of Schadenfreude though (someone had a worse year than you kind of thing (sheepish))
