Freaky article!

[bluiis]

   So I just read an article where some group has developed a headset that can control your physical movements.  It uses electricity, and if you move the controller to the right, that's where you'll go.  The guy who wrote the artical said it's like having something in your brain directing you.  He said the the government is working on something using electricity on our enemies to momentarily confuse them.  The article went on to say how it could help the elderly or be used for amusement park rides or video games.

   Of course they're going to say they won't use it for evil purposes.  But that's plain freaky to me.  If they can use electriciy to control your physical movements (and the guy who wrote it said it is very difficult to fight the desire to go where the remote says to go), how much longer before they use electricity to control other parts of our body--our nervous system, our brain, even our thoughts.  Scary!

   Anyway, on to other matter.  There's not much else to say.

   There's been a bunch of snow up here already, but none here.  It snowed from Maryland up through Maine, yet it missed the valley.  How?  Hello, we're not that big!  And Mt. Washinton has a record amount of snow this year--47.3 inches.  It's only October!  It's going to be a coooold winter.  Maybe I'm wishing I was back in Florida....

   Pickles is going crazy.  There are leaves on Ginny's balcony, and Pic keeps trying to get to them.  Except that she is not able to because of the glass door.  Poor Pickles.  She's such a sweetie; her motor is so loud, and she just needs a little extra love.  So I gave her some.

   It's not that potty training is going badly, it's just not going anywhere!  Jill doesn't mind sitting on her potty, but she has no clue as to what she's supposed to do!  So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be willing to take them!  Otherewise, this could take a while....

   Anyway, really I have nothing to say, so I won't bore y'all any further.  Ciao!

I think a key of potty training is being regular about it. Like, take her in there every couple hours or so and make her sit. Eventually she'll end up going and then you can praise her to the skies--that'll start giving her the idea.

No, don't refer to yourself as that, instead call yourself the Expert Who Helped Her Mother Raise Nine Other Siblings.
And thank you for your advice. It's just so time-consuming! Our days are usually so up-in-the-air, it's hard to find time to help her potty. But thanks for your advice. I'll definitely try it!
