This Is Odd.....

Hey there guys.....had a long day at the office? Then grab yourself a Japanese lap pillow and take a little snoozer. Or have yourself a good cry.

Targeted at Japanese single men, the "lap pillow", shaped like the bottom half of a kneeling woman, is selling for about 9,429 yen ($90).

"Single men find this soothing," said Mitsuo Takahashi of the manufacturer Trane KK.

He told AFP that the Hizamakura, or lap pillow, fulfilled a primal need.

"From the time people were kids, people have laid their heads on their mothers' laps to get their ears cleaned," he said. "This is made to be quite close to the real thing."

I don't know about you, but I won't buy one until it can clean my ears.

This is Supa Cool

Just saw THIS on the Ellen show and I was absolutely FASCINATED. Seriously, it's like the coolest thing ever. Go watch it and then let's all pitch in for about 2000 boxes of cornstarch and give it a try, okay?

This is Freaking Awesome

In The Know: Is The Government Spying On Paranoid Schizophrenics Enough?


Happy Friday!

What have I done??

So, I impulsively signed up to be on the national bone marrow donor registry. I don't know what prompted me to do it, but I did and I'm left with mixed feelings about it.
From what I understand, the procedure is rather uncomfortable and leaves the donor with a sore back for days after. But when I consider that so many children and adults (although admittedly it's the children that pull at my heartstrings and led me to sign up in the first place) in this country that can be helped or even healed through bone marrow transplants, I thought - these kids have CANCER - kids that are the same age (and younger) as my babies -- If I was a match for someone and could potentially give life-saving marrow to someone, shouldn't I do it? What if the shoe were on the other foot? And my baby needed marrow? Or my husband? Or me?

But it's uncomfortable. Possibly painful. It's inconvenient and could take a lot of my time and efforts.

I guess sometimes I just like to feel like I could do something meaningful.
Important.
Life-changing.
When's the last time I felt that way?

If you want to sign up, you can do so here: Bone Marrow Registry
Just enter in your name, address, general health information and they send you a kit to swab the inside of your cheek (to determine your marrow type) with a return address envelope and they add you to the registry.

You Must Go to This Site

Want to know the most addicting website ever?

RetroJunk

...Where I just spent the last hour reliving my childhood by watching: tv commercials for Wonderwoman Underoos, Kangaroos Shoes, Frankenberry cereal.....And theme-song intros from The A-Team, Rainbow Brite, Thundercats, Saved by the Bell, Knight Rider, Snorks, Ducktales,Schoolhouse Rocks ...oh the list goes on.

This may be my new favorite site ever.

Go...waste an hour or so of your life.
Walk down memory lane.
Relive the 80's....or the 90's. Spike up your bangs and put on 3 different colors of slouch socks. Turn on some VanHalen or some Bon Jovi and rock your peg-legged jeans to the music of your youth.
Enjoy.

Thanks to Steve-o for the link. What a discovery!

You thought life was grand before you saw this site?? Well, now it really rocks your socks. Just sharing the love people, sharing the love....

Now you know.
And knowing is half the battle.
