My ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
eor just gave me an ultimatum: "Mop the bathroom floor or put your socks back on."
I went in and mopped the floor, musing about that - do I hate having clothing on my feet so much that I'd rather mop the floor than dress my feet? Even though my feet are freezing?
Well, it made me smile. :)
( work )
Also, the last two days must have been a little stressful because my right eyelid would not stop twitching. It's still doing it, today, though I think it's calming down a little.
Today I got a yen to find out if the American Chestnut Blight caused an uptick in people in need of social services. I've heard that the streets were lined with chestnut trees in many towns, and if that's the case then my thinking is that the poorer people in the towns might well have used the nuts as a regular source of protein, so when they all died off more people may have been in need of food aid. But the above site seems to concentrate more on the loss of the wood (very desirable as lumber) and the tannic acid (used for tanning leather) as economic impacts on Appalachia. Always a poor area, anyway, and that economic loss would have tossed more people into need of social services, anyway, so it would be hard to sort out the data as regards just a food source, I'm sure.
Oh! I think I've been using Dreamwidth to crosspost to LiveJournal for about the last three years, but Eor just made a Dreamwidth account yesterday and he immediately figured out how to switch Semagic over so that I can use it to post to Dreamwidth (and the crosspost still happens automagically). So no more making links in Semagic, copy and paste to DW, etc. Damn.
