Pass National Health Care With Public Option Now
Website Wednesday
Brought to you on a Thursday because I thought yesterday was Tuesday. Which might sound pretty bad except a financial reporter on TV was talking about an IPO coming out in two days and started to say: It’ll be out on...... Then stopped, turned to the anchor and asked: What day is today? Now, that’s bad.
So we’ve reached the arbitrary end of another year. Arbitrary because just why is December 31 the end of one year and January 1 the beginning of another? OK, I know Janus was the front and back faced god who could look ahead and back. But why not switch the months around and make the new year at the beginning of spring? Wouldn’t it be nicer to wake up one morning and smell the fresh air and say: Ah, spring. Ah, a new year. Just asking. (Yes, I do know that other parts of the world are not in winter now; but I'm being selfish.)
Let’s end this year, arbitrary or not, with some fun for the bored with:

I first found Bored.com as a games site but it’s so much more (I think I’m retiring that phrase, even I’m bored with it.
It says of itself:
Bored.com is a place where you can find endless amounts of entertainment. We have free online games, fun sites, and so much more! We update new stuff all of the time, so come back often. So just remember: When you're bored, visit Bored.com
There have quiz and trivia links with a personality test I may take if I can sit still to read through 100 questions. There are good trivia facts here which would have come in handy for our annual Christmas Eve trivia contest. I’m sure someone would have known that "Almost" is the longest commonly used word in the English language with all the letters in alphabetical order or that "One thousand" contains the letter A, but none of the words from one to nine hundred ninety-nine has an A.
There’s a Romance site with a Pick-Up lines link. (They are soooo corny.) There’s a Bad Date Story link. There’s a Weird site with weird news from around the world. There’s a Video site with no links and a Music site with video links.
The only complaint I have is that once you click a link the Back Button un-highlights and backtracking becomes less intuitive. (Oh, I am so picky, and lazy.) But it’s a fun site for some fast entertainment for those periods of your life when you’re bored. Those periods usually only last a short time and when you’re in them you don’t want to stay on one topic too long.
That’s where Bored.com comes it. Go for the games; stay for the rest.
Happy New Year!
