I didn’t know that there was a such thing as dog ramps. Okay, certainly something like that would have to exist, but I had no clue what they looked like. I guess it can help in a lot of situations…like my sister’s dog who is afraid to step down from her van (who can blame him? It looks really far down for him), or even afraid to go back down the steps after he’s made his way up. Which I don’t understand, but I digress. Well, you learn something different every day…they’re not lying about that!

A few weeks ago, I tried to go back to what I used to do online. You know, the whole message board thing.

I remember spending hours and hours and (did I mention?) hours posting on several boards at once. When I heard that Ecstasy came back, I rejoined, hoping that it’d be the same way; maybe not on really large scale. Maybe in between questing on PWI, but I wanted to go back to my roots in some way. I went back to Snark to announce my reappearance, but I also said on there that I’m not sure how long it will last, but I’ll try anyway.

I tried, I really did. But as I mentioned nearly a year ago (eesh, it’s been that long?!!), you can be bored of the internet.

I failed to mention that you can, however, grow out of certain aspects of the internet. I really did grow out of the whole message board scene. I knew I would eventually, but I didn’t know that it would be this soon. Even my interest for blogging of all things tend to wane at moments. It would be moments where I would open up WordPress, and totally lose interest in writing about insurance online, or even letters to Mother Nature.

Does this mean that I’m going to give it up? Nah. I already gave up message boards. I still have the passion to write. And while it seems like pulling teeth right now, I’m sure it’ll come back to me. It always does. But until then, please have patience…

I have no choice in the manner.

So I came across this thing called the Kettlebell. When I first heard the name, I was like “what the hell? Is it some kind of kettle?!” “Perhaps a kettle shaped like a bell?” “A bell shaped like a kettle?” “A kettle that sounds like a bell?” Yes, I thought all of those things before I looked it up. I never thought of it being a dumbbell of sorts. That is a very unusual object. It kinda does look like a kettle, don’t it?

I got this link that said POS systems in my email a while back. Now obviously it doesn’t mean what I was thinking, but I just couldn’t help to think what it could have meant. POS is an abbreviation that a few people use to describe certain things, whether it be phones, computers, or boyfriends. In the technical sense of the term, it’s referring to them computers that you see with the barcode scanner in stores. Here’s a useless thought: if a POS system broke down constantly, would a worker say “this POS POS system” out of frustration (in the context that it’s a piece of shit?)?
