Spelling Tip: Remembering Desert v. Dessert

26 Jan

Got into a discussion with a friend about how to remember which one has the second “s” – This is how I remember it 😛

This dry and sandy spot exists because it has limited amounts of water–generally an entire absence of the stuff.  Thus it is limited to only one “s”–it’s missing something. 

This stuff is all about overkill — sweetness and calories galore.  Ergo it get’s an overabundance of the letter “s.”  

Winter Storm Tonight

Lucky Us! Iowa is currently being hit with winds of up to 50 MPH and more snow. Yippee! Sometimes the wind is so strong, the snow is blowing straight sideways instead of down. As in a straight line side to side.  Snow isn’t falling here, it’s blowing past!

Frankly, I’m most impressed by the Dr. House stealing Dalmations thing. . . . I can actually see him doing that if he felt so inclined 😛

Cool Google Chrome Change

Great news for Laurence the Laptop!

He might actually survive his stint as the lifeline for a professional writer/researcher/teacher. 😛

If you are anything like me, you threaten the poor darling’s life at least three times on any given day thanks to random unidentifiable voices streaming from the speakers.  I mean seriously, how can 4 ads be running just slighting off so that they scream over each other and I be unable to locate even one to shut the stupid thing off?  It drives me nuts!  I usually just throw a temper tantrum, shut down all the tab, lose all of my research, and let Laurence have it for being such a stupid nitwit.  

Fortunately, Google Chrome has come through finally!  At long last they have added a way for you to tell which tabs have sounds playing.  Check out the new little volume symbol on your tab at the top of the browser.

 If you see it, then that means that something is playing sounds on that tab.  The same is true regardless of whether it’s music, videos, random beeping noises, or advertisements–if it has some noise going on the symbol shows up.

All the other browsers should adopt this change; it’s a keeper.  

To Best Friends

2 Hour long Conversation with my Bestie about everything from British Crime Television to a preference for tall, dark, and handsome, to a long description of favorite books, and in-depth plans for our future–Why yes, sounds like it would make my day 🙂 

Cheers for Good Friends who Just Get You!

I know it’s post-Christmas, but I needed a cheering up today and this arrived at my Youtube doorstep.  I have yet to watch these two interact and not love it!  She’s still my favorite Doctor Who companion ❤
