strange, oddities, unusualMaybe I have too much free time, who knows.  However, I seem to be able to amuse myself quite easily with search engines and wandering around the Internet.  There is so much information out there, so many things to experience and learn.  So many people’s minds to peer into.  What are people up to.  What are they thinking.  What swirls around the heads of billions and billions of people is quite amazing, interesting, unusual, bizarre, or informative. The Internet is an endless flow of human thoughts.  Take your chances and follow me on today’s journey.

Have yourself a little tour from the comfort of your own home.

The site Eat This Much creates meal plans for you.  Just let the site know how many calories, how many meals, and how you like to eat (vegan, vegetarian, paleo, Atkin’s).  It will whip you up a menu on just what to eat throughout the day.  Not only that, you can order groceries to prepare these meals right there online with Instacart.  I knew it!  I won’t ever have to leave the house now.

Are you up for some creepy stories?  This site is for kids so it won’t be but so unnerving…I think.  Only read a little bit but it won’t keep me up at nights.  So if you dare….read on with Scare For Kids.  Also sections for scary movies, things, videos, pictures (some of these were rough), places, and games.  Have fun and stay calm.

Odd, unusual, downright strange or unnerving news at UPI.  Some strike it right with a fantastic find of $1.4 million dollars of gold in an ex-Iraqui tank or the mother lode of fear when a boater gets trapped amidst a pod of killer whales attacking a sea lion.  Amazing but true.

That should keep you busy for a while.  Very interesting stuff and lots of fun to go through.  Have at it and enjoy yourself.  I’ll be back!
