In which I share my favorite posts from this blog's Facebook page. .UPDATE on our move: Well...I started prepping the exterior of the house, but people, I am just so. darn. tired. Like, falling off the ladder tired. (I didn't fall far, and I didn't get hurt, but I did fall often.) So we decided to hire a painter. What a relief! I'm so glad I didn't have to do all this scraping and priming; the painter practically primed the whole house! This leaves me free to do fun stuff like scrub the kitchen cabinets. And, I hope, within the next weeks we'll have our house on the market!

* Remember when scientists showed that GMOs caused tumors in rats? Then remember how the peer-reviewed publication the study appeared in told us all it was a lie? Then remember how those original scientists had their findings published in OTHER peer-reviewed science papers? Now those scientists have won TWO lawsuits that show it was not their work that was false at all.
