Went for My IVIG Treatment Today

It took four hours to inject immune globulin to treat my CIDP.  I spent the time on line with my laptop. It wasn't too bad except for all the time it took.  I have this treatment once every three weeks. Hopefully it will restore my energy and strength so I'll be able to post more often; and do more of what I want to do without falling.

I Bought a Crookes Radiometer

I found this radiometer  GIF on the internet.  I've had a radiometer for decades, fascinated by the way it spins in the light.  It works with sunlight or an incandescent light bulb. I finally decided to order a new one after mine stopped working. Here's a photo from the internet that looks just like mine. Sir William Crroke invented the radiometer. Below are explanations about how it works.  It's not so simple! ==================================== "The  radiometer  is made from a glass bulb from which much of the air has been removed to form a partial  vacuum . Inside the bulb, on a low  friction  spindle, is a rotor with several (usually four) vertical lightweight vanes spaced equally around the axis. The vanes are polished or white on one side and black on the other. When exposed to  sunlight , artificial light, or  infrared  radiation (even the heat of a hand nearby can be enough), the vanes turn with no apparent motive power, the d

I Bought a Stirling Engine

(Wikipedia) When I saw this engine on Amazon I was fascinated. At first I was looking for a desk ornament but this was much better. It looks good and it's functional. Here's a photo of my Stirling engine set on top of an insulated coffee mug. It works great and I had it running for 4 hours one time. That was the longest time for me. I placed it on a dish filled with crushed ice instead of a coffee mug, it still worked! With ice cubes on top and a coffee cup at the bottom it goes faster. This video explains how it works:

96th Birthday

My mother-in law just turned 96! I hope I can reach her age someday. I don't think she does anything special to stay healthy. She must have some pretty good genes. The women of four generations Evey used her balloon to hide her great-grandmother's face! Evey's brother Miles is near the center with her uncle, his father on the left and I'm on the right. His great-grandfather passed away several years ago.

Visited by a Tree Frog

The other night I saw a frog on the side of my house on the back yard side. It was so cute and not afraid of me so I just had to take a photo.

Is This Negative Thinking?

Never mind being half full or empty.  Maybe it's the wrong glass to start with. Remember the best seller from decades ago The Power of Positive Thinking?  I came across this video of some philosophical ideas that seem to go the other way, like "The Power of Negative Thinking". I have a relative who always complains about how bad the world is.  After a short while with him my mood begins to drop. That's why I try to limit my time with him. He looks at you as if you are crazy if you try to say anything positive about life. Sometimes I can make him change for a few seconds before he returns to his old self. I made my daughter laugh when I told her that he belongs to a society of negative thinkers. I raise my eyebrows to give her a sign about what is coming next when we get together and he begins his negative discussions. Anyway, this video seems to go for what is a negative view of life. What do you think? (Click on image to start the video.)
