Hospets
Not to horribly long ago I was browsing the GunBlogBlackList and ran across a post by someone (of course I don’t even remember which blog at this point, sorry), who’s a nurse (I think?) and had a patient come in for an extended hospital stay on short notice. The patient was extremly worried about her dogs, having no family nearby to care for them. The nurse took the dogs herself until such time as other arrangements could be made, but was curious if anyone was aware of a service for people in situations like this. I think I was the only one who responded, but even my response was “no.”
That answer has now changed. A lady in OH, inspired by watching her father go through the same process, has created a service called Hospets. How it works:
Very cool, and totally awesome!
H/T to YesBiscuit!
Edited: Thanks to KurtP I now know the blog was Low Dog on the Totem Pole (aka: Tinkerbell and Spike). I left a comment there again.
This is an example of why
My family has mostly gotten over the fact that I don’t go to church, and that when asked about my beliefs I generally respond “none of the above”. But occasionally I get asked by someone “why?”
A lady I went to high school with (a strictly Christian school) posted the following line on her Facebook today: God would rather us in the belly of a whale than living in disobedience..
Now I don’t if God want’s that or not, if there is such a creature, but I know alot of church leaders who do.
Before someone tries to educate me, I know what bible story she’s referring to, and I’m sure I know what she THINKS she’s saying, but that is rather not the same as actually saying it.
Blog award
Well cool, JOATed over at Compass Points sent me this blog award thing last night.
I’m thrilled people are reading here, horrified that I’m now going to participate in what is essentially one of those annoying email forwards (where you better forward this to 5 people or someone’s going to DIE!!!!), and desperately trying to decide who I should nominate (who hasn’t already been nominated, and who might appreciate it).
Anyway, here’s the rules:
1. Copy and paste the award on your blog.
2. Link back to the blogger who gave you the award
3. Pick your five favorite blogs with less than 200 followers, and leave a comment on their blog to let them know they have received the award.
4. Hope that the five blogs chosen will keep spreading the love and pass it on to five more blogs.
So here’s my picks:
And in the process of doing this I realized I really need to add a couple of these folks to my blog roll…..

To whomever runs the TransSiberian Orchestra’s Facebook page
You people are the only music group I have followed for any length of time on Facebook. Everyone else I tried to follow annoyed me quickly with constant spamming updates. But you guys are different, updates are once a month or so, its awesome!
Or, prehaps I should change all that present tense to past tense. You WERE the only music group I followed…..see, today whoever runs your Facebook page decided it wasn’t enough to remind everyone of the upcoming concert tour. Nope. Instead of a post reminding people that ‘hey, we’re on tour check our schedule!!!!’. You posted a bajillion individual posts, one for each stop on the tour stating “we’re going to be in THIS city, who’s coming?!?!”. You know what? Not only did you make sure that you got blocked from my Facebook feed, I now WILL NOT be buying tickets when you’re going to be near me. I’m sure you won’t miss my ticket money, I can just hope enough other folks got annoyed by your Facebook spam that you learned something from it.
