Got a persistent headache....

It periodically decides to bump itself up from "low-level nagging" to "sudden nail through the eyeball with added throbbing".

I do not like this.

Ouch. Hope you feel better soon...

And thank you for the link on gardens! Can I add it to next week's positivity post?

Speaking of gardens, if you search hard in amazon you can still find patches of black earth, which are the remains of long-gone tribes kitchen gardens and fields.

Some of the field boundaries here in england predate christianity (which is stretching the point via'a'vie gardens, but still cool)

I hope that your headache goes away and that you feel better as the day goes on. That's got to be miserable.

I read that three times wondering why I'm buying patches of black earth online.

[conuly]

You can always add all links everywhere. Credit is theoretically nice, but since I usually forget whom to credit it's not necessary :)

[siliconshaman]

LOL!! ok, maybe a bit more disambiguation would've been better!

I used to get spike migraines, fortunately they only lasted 3-5 seconds. Got put on a good anti-convulsant, very low dose, handles them quite well.

I hope it's gone by now!

Don't know if it will help your head any, but this isn't the first Game Boy to survive bombings. A buddy worked at the US headquarters (in Redmond, right next to MS) for over thirty years. When I visited a few years after he got the job, they had a GB in similar condition on display at the security desk, one that had gone through the Beirut barracks bombings.

The technicians just hooked it up to a power supply and provided a custom "always on" game to let it show its stuff.

Women studying color in the history of art was much appreciated, thank you.
