Wordless Wednesday
Sorry it’s late!
Our puppy sleeps like this!
I’m always amazed at the positions that young animals like puppies and kittens, and of course human babies can manage to get themselves into while sleeping or playing.
Our puppy sometimes has a nap at my wives feet at the end of the couch, or more often while in her training crate. She tosses and turns and we’ll often see her feet up in the air as she snoozes. It’s too funny.
What would you think if you were working in one of the buildings across from the one where an unidentified man was washing window while tethered to security ropes at the 20th floor and appeared motionless for 30 minutes?
You’d think something happened to him, I know you would.
Well so did some of the observers who really did see him.
Luckily as it turns out he just happened to have a nap.
Fire rescue vehicles arriving on the scene woke him up. He lowered himself to the street unharmed.
I wonder if his boss docked him a half hours pay for sleeping on the job?
I’m sure a few of us in the blogisphere have already figured this out but …
A study released earlier this week suggests that the United States could be rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics.
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, California, said that their telephone survey indicated that more than one in eight US residents showed at least one sign of “problematic Internet use.”
Most disturbing was the discovery that some people hid their Internet surfing, or went online to cure foul moods in ways that mirrored the way that alcoholics use booze, according to the study’s lead author, Elias Aboujaoude.
According to preliminary research, the typical Internet addict is a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use.
Maybe we should start a group – Internetaholics Anonymous?
