Dude. Where were you? - Hey folks, have you been missing me?
I've been rather busy with part time work. On top of several other odd jobs I've been getting my hands into, I'm making Christmas reindeer for resale and working as a night watchman on a Christmas Tree lot. So time is at a stranglehold for me lately.
Plus, I have to admit to a bit of blog burn out, if you know what I mean. Interestingly enough, I've noticed some of my regular haunts in the blog-o-sphere are also a bit less verbose than usual, so I'm guessing I'm not the only one that is busy with the season or just a bit burned out.
But, given a little free time at the moment, I looked over some headlines this afternoon and I think I can piece together a small number of oddities and an item that might be of some concern.
First is this item out of South Korean where it appears to be a popular practice of saving your child's umbilical cord for memory sake.
Forget desktop photographs of your children.
Doting South Korean parents can preserve their child's umbilical cord in acrylic resin to make a personal seal or even have it gold plated.
Apparently the company doing it got the idea because it was already a practice of South Korean moms to store umbilical cords and navels in their photo albums.
Okay. Well, that's just weird. But that might just be me.
It certainly counts as an oddity.
Stay tunned. Another oddity and something of a serious nature forth coming. Just as soon as I can type it up.
