Friday Fragments is hosted my Half-Past Kissin' Time for bloggers to post a list of short things on their minds that aren't really enough for a whole post. Here we go:
Diabetes Research
You can now help fund Diabetes Research for free just by clicking on
The Diabetes Site which is a new tab on the animal rescue site (among others). They also added a tab for
Greater Good-your click will help send two girls to school for a year. The whole website has been redesigned and works faster now. Check it out!
Dog Age

Dog age translated to people years is not as simple as 1 dog year = 7 people years according to the Dog Owner's Manual published by Quirk Books posted at
Dogster because the size of the dog also factors into it. According to their chart, Abby is 8 in dog years but 54 in people years.
Good Shape
When we had to evacuate our building at work this week, I learned I was in better shape than I thought. I wasn't winded, my knees, legs and hips all worked well without any pain and no stiffness or pain the next day either after walking down 29 flights of stairs! (For more details, see my post:
Your Attention Please.)
The Biggest Loser
I am so happy to see Danni in the final 3 because she started out so badly and changed dramatically. She really looks good now and has a great attitude too. She stuck with Jiliian all the way through and developed a bond of friendship with her. For several weeks, she was the only one on her team and kept having big enough losses to beat the other two teams. She was also good in the challenges and I'm pulling for her! The audience can vote this week for the third finalist between Jackson and Joe and nbc.com (I voted for Joe.)
The Bible Mini Series
This week in "The Bible" mini series on the History channel, it was quite an exciting week with the prophets and kings and battles against the Philistines. I think my favorite scene was the battle of Jericho. I liked the actor who played King David but didn't like that Nathan didn't tell David the parable when confronting him about his sin with Bathsheba like it's recorded in the scripture. I liked David's reaction to the parable. What did you think of it?
Google Reader
Thanks to a couple of my Facebook friends, I just saw that the Google Reader RSS feed will be gone as of July 1! Although I do not use this a lot, I do use it some and have it available on my blog. This is what bugs me about technology--it's constantly changing! I already feel like I'm behind the times again, not having a tablet, iphone or even a clue as to how either works or how to use one. Guess there are alternatives according to "
8 Google Reader Alternatives That Will Ease Your RSS Pain." In
Transitioning from Google Reader to Feedly, it says if you give Feedly a try before July 1, "you'll be able to migrate seamlesly." I remember a time when this news would not have bothered me one little bit!
UPDATE 3/16/13:
I just realized, I don't ever use Google reader. I use the Blogger reader (thought it was the same thing but it's not). Yea! I noticed there was a link on the right of my feeds that says "view in Google reader." That's when I finally got a clue that I don't use Google reader. Ha, ha.
Sports
I'm really liking the additions the Browns and Indians have made to their teams. I'm actually excited about the Indians this year, so far! The College Basketball March Madness tournament bracket is announced Sunday. Still deciding if I want to enter one at work or not. It's like throwing away $10, but it's fun being in it the first couple days.
