Today’s Quotes

Today’s Memes

Thoughts for the day

I headed out this morning for a much-needed haircut. My stylist noticed I had lost weight and that my hair looked better. I explained a little about my treatment. Glad she noticed.

It is devastating to see the damage of the earthquakes in Afghanistan. It is always hard to see the damage in a third-world country. The small villages have very little to begin with, and then everything they have is destroyed.

I try hard to keep up with the news, both National and International. When did the US decided that illegal immigrants should be deported to a 3^rd world country where they have no connection? Why is the US President suggesting that the Palestine refugees in Gaza should suffer the same deportation? Our nation of laws is in deep trouble.

Myths from Medieval Times

The Middle Ages Saw Many Medical Advances

Although people in the Middle Ages were not as medically advanced as we are today, they made many strides in the field. For instance, records from a 14th-century Dominican friar prove that Medieval people wore eyeglasses. We do not know who invented them, only that they were worn.

Historians also believe that interest in anatomy began in the Middle Ages. Doctors began dissecting during this time, and Italian physician Mondino de Luzzi even hosted public dissections to teach his students in 1315. These developments are what make us so knowledgeable about medicine today.

Things That Worked Better Before They Were “Improved” by Technology

Paper Maps That Never Needed Updates

While GPS is incredibly convenient, there’s something to be said for good old-fashioned paper maps. They never lost signal, didn’t need charging, and gave you a better sense of your overall journey. Plus, learning to read a map was a valuable skill that helped develop spatial awareness and planning abilities.

Random Thoughts…

If ghosts exist, they might be watching us in the shower, and we’ll never know.

Every mirror in your house has seen you at your worst and will never forget.

What if the shadows we see are alternate versions of ourselves trying to escape?

Your reflection in the mirror could be slightly delayed, and you’d never notice.
