It being mother's day yesterday, and me "shunning" the whole thing, as i have done for past 2 or so years, i'm feeling surprisingly okay - only just a
little "dodgy". It didnt even see mum yesterady (nor today), or ring, or gift a small gift -
nothing. I have trouble with these sorts of people/feelings thngs. And i resent things that manipulate my actions & feelings
On a brighter note..
Having a
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is better than all these surge-protector devices, as not only does it stop the dangrous voltage spikes, it also "conditions" the power (handles other types of power "anomalies" which can damage equipment over time - removes small high-frequency voltages, handles "brownouts" (where voltage drops to 2/3-1/2), deals with those also potentially hazardous sudden off-on's of power). And you can still keep using pc/etc for ~10-15 mins! (eg to safely shut it down, if power stays off). Now, when my power goes off, everything turns off except my PC - no work lost, no damage to hard drive, no interruption to my pc work!
Edit: Speaking of honey, ants
love the stuff .. so much so that i use honey to trap them (smear it over a container, placed in ant trail). Then when theres heaps of them running all over & inside it, rinse them down the sink --> keep repeating. I prefer it to ant bait, as its not pumping-out toxic fumes 24/7 inside house (which i react to).
Edit2: And speaking of sugar/caffeine/choc/etc: They are a quick pick-me-up, but like all quick-fixes they take from the future to give to the present. Ie i find that my general boredom/dullness level increases somewhat by having too much of these things; basically it scr*ws-up my thinking abilities, so that i cant barely think at all, and my usual thinking pursuits dont stimulate me, and also probably dulls the senses a bit too.
