Apparently, a little brown book by two researchers called “What’s Your Poo Telling You?” is making a bit of a splash. Not a plop, plop, constipated splash, but an elegant high-fiber “swoosh” splash that Olympic divers practice for years to attain: Poo and your health | Salon Life The moment is ripe to come clean about our inner workings, say coauthors Sheth and Richman, who met when they were undergraduates at Brown University (where else?). Sheth, along with other collegiate pastimes, developed what he calls the PQI, or Poo Quality Index, that he and fellow students would use to compare…

I wish the disloyal opposition of the Episcopal/Anglican flavor of church would take note: The Lead Marking the annual Palm Sunday celebrations and the start of a week-long visit to the Holy Land, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori preached March 16 at St. George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem at the invitation of Bishop Suheil Dawani of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem. See? Bishop Katharine was invited. She did not barge in on her host and announce plans for a big “No Gurlz or Gayz” party in his house, over his objections. That’s how it’s done.

My husband David and I – as he noted on his blog – were finally seduced by the Light Side, the Forces of Brightness, the White Lord of the Pith, the Core of All Good, etc. etc. We both got iPhones as we’d previously warned. Stupidly, we went to Woodfield Mall yesterday, rather than driving to the brand new AT&T store on Algonquin in Rolling Meadows, which as of March 17th had 16G iPhones. The Apple store was out of the 16G’s and didn’t expect to get any for some time, so we shrugged and said “Okay, we’ll take the…

I can’t explain why I find these little adventures of the French-German action hero funny and strangely compelling; they just are. In this one, Klaus wigs out in several languages and takes off into a park wearing a pirate shirt and puffy pants, which he gives back.

There are a number of my co-workers that need to be reminded how to properly take a phone message: Send an email.  Send an email. Don’t get up, scribble an illegible message with no date or time, walk all the way over here and drop it on my desk where I won’t see it and it gets covered up.  Put that little pink pad/tiny little sticky note/random torn-off scrap of paper away; send an email. It really irks when someone calls repeatedly – if I don’t answer, either I’m on a call or away from my desk. And then they…

IOL: Mugabe is ‘a prophet of God’ – rebel bishop Last year, Kunonga withdrew from the Anglican province of Central Africa to set up his own province in Zimbabwe, ostensibly in a row about homosexuality. But his critics claim he was really just preserving his own position. The mother church fired him last month. He has been steadily abandoned by all the parishes in Zimbabwe and now serves a community of only a few dozen worshippers who fill a few pews in the cathedral on Sunday mornings. “We will not use the cathedral for services again until we have reconsecrated…

Take note: if you eat at Kampai, the local sushi joint not far from O’Hare, THIS IS NOT A CREAM PUFF with CHOCOLATE! It is bean paste with brown bean sauce and white bean sauce! It is a savory masquerading as a dessert! Beware! Via: Flickr Title: 02-02-08_1802.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 14 Mar ’08, 9.43pm CDT PST

“Dream stakeout at donut shoppe” The local constabulary is in the habit of parking in the empty lot next to Dunkin Donuts, rather than take up a lot of spaces in their rather small lot. Either that, or they think that nobody will see them if they hide behind the bushes.
