Are there any other Word Press bloggers out there who can tell me how to reset the time on the blog? I only ask because I posted my piece on 9-11-11 very early in the morning, right after midnight, but the blog software decided for me that I posted on 9-10-11, making my references to “today” seem a little silly.

Did you know that if you buy them from Amazon.com, you can subscribe to Good & Plenty candy, and then they’ll send you more at specified intervals? Subscribing to candy appeals to me a great deal more than subscribing to magazines does.

You’ve got a lot of holes in your head and so, of course, do I. There’s your mouth, your nasal passages, your sinuses. and in my case, the large space where a normal person would have a brain. Because of something called head resonance, your voice sounds different to you than it does to anyone else. That’s why someone who hears their voice recorded for the first time may be surprised, and think the recording doesn’t sound like them. To overcome head resonance, radio broadcasters often wear headphones, and turn them up quite loud so they can hear what they really sound like. I did that when I was on the radio. I think that’s at least part of the reason for my hearing problems. I have tinnitus, so if there’s a lot of background noise, I have trouble understanding what people are saying to me. Since I know I have minor hearing problems, this leads me to ask you, do you have trouble understanding the actors on BBC TV programs? I often do, and it’s not because of the accents. I think the background music is too loud, and some of the actors’ speech sounds muddy to me.

Why would you quit cold turkey? I look forward to the day after Thanksgiving so I can make myself a delicious turkey sandwich on rye with mayo and cranberry sauce. Just for the record, I like hot turkey sandwiches with giblet gravy too, but I prefer those on white bread.

I don’t understand this kind of marketing, do you? I never subscribed to “Rolling Stone Magazine,” but somebody sent it to me anyway. Rolling Stone did ask me to renew, and I didn’t do that either, but I’m still getting the magazine. I understand the logic behind a free sample, but how does one make money by giving away the product, and continuing to give it away once the user refuses to pay to continue receiving it?

Having confessed my fondness for the British sci-fi TV show Doctor Who, I’ve never understood the following: Why doesn’t the Doctor’s miraculous sonic screwdriver (which disrupts things electronic and mechanical) disrupt Daleks or Cybermen?
