Why You Should Never Worry Alone — Science of Us – Good advice. I’m a perpetual worrier, and it causes me issues. (Search the blog for “stomach” if you’re curious.) I’ve gotten better at sharing things with the Snook though, which helps. Sometimes I can’t even put it into words, but he knows when I say “Everything is ruined,” it’s time to pull me back from the abyss.

Very cool!
The wearable tool, the new Leatherman Tread – Leatherman Blog – I thought it looked dorky til I saw the version with the watch face. Wow. That’s pretty neat!

@RoseRed_Shoes @drkknits OH JEEZUS. HERE WE GO.

@RoseRed_Shoes I’ve got 2 entered. One is 90% finished, the other about 50%. LET’S SPRINT!
Annabel Crabb at AGNSW talking about bra-burning feminism. Hell yeah! @ Art Gallery of New South Wales http://t.co/TKxz2DBHuE
@drwitty_knitter It was just colourful language. That wasn’t the literal topic of her talk. 🙂
Ugh. I firmly believe attendees at a talk should be legally required to read this flowchart before asking questions. http://t.co/UwSksfdQEs
@creatrixtiara @catehstn Fair enough. But I just heard 7 “questions” where more than half just wanted to talk into a mic for no reason.
@creatrixtiara @catehstn Like, there should be an actual question! It’s not “share your anecdote” time.
@drwitty_knitter My favourite response is @smark31’s withering “Thank you for that useful contribution.”
@irisbuunk None of those criteria should preclude a shy person from speaking. The key is to actually ask a question, not just ramble.
@fcablog @Puffles2010 Ooooh, that’s a good one.
@venks79 Hahaha… Nah, it wasn’t actually a tech event I was at. But this pretty much applies to that too!

Hell yeah.
Barack Obama Is Out Of F**ks – Medium – I really liked this summation of today’s State of the Union address. Also, it led me to this masterpiece: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k. That’s my new mantra.
It’s probably fair to point out that if I truly didn’t give a f**k, I wouldn’t star the profanity. But hey, parents read this. Them I give a f**k about, okay?

Searching for snuggliness
I’ve got five months to find the perfect onesie for the next knitting retreat. The sparklier the better. (NO, I’M NOT KIDDING.) Any ideas?
I do rather like Cara Delevigne’s pizza onesie…

Whole30: Day 20
Breakfast: Black coffee
Lunch: “Morrison Burger” (from Parlour Burger) without the bun; cabbage & parmesan slaw
Snack: Pear
Dinner: Tunisian Prawns, broccoli, and roast pumpkinYeah, so that slaw at lunch had the first dairy I’ve had all month. I rationalised it as a very small amount of a hard cheese, and it tasted fantastic. But within a couple hours, I started to feel extremely crappy and run down. I don’t know if it’s related or I’m coming down with something, but twenty hours later I’m still feeling sluggish. I’ll have to do a controlled experiment in a couple weeks and see if it happens again.
