I Don't Want a Tattoo!

What happens if a mistake is made? I bet many of these tattoos are actually only body paint. I hope so! Isn't she hiding her natural beauty? With a False Mustache? It must be the only hair left on his bald head.  Maybe it's not as bad as the others. Not Worth the Pain

How Do You Feel About Artificial Intelligence?

What do you think about the advance of Artificial Intelligence (AI)?  Is it something good or is it too risky? What about the possibility that it is not as developed as they make it out to be?  I feel it could be a great advance for civilization if done carefully.   But consider just as a possibility if the military uses AI  as a weapon?  AI might further develop on its own to take over the world when it reaches the stage where it becomes more intelligent than we are. What would happen to us? Here's an interesting video that examines some of the possibilities:

The Legend of Lilith

Lilith I find this legend very interesting and believe it would make a great horror movie.  I'm not very religious so it's mostly just the unexpected idea of a woman created before Eve. The sculpture above is from Notre Dame in Paris.  I wonder if Lilith was the snake who came back to tempt Eve. The video below has a good description of the legend. I also read that the legend of Lilith sets an example for modern liberated women; except for the part about being evil.

Started Self-Administration of Subcutaneous Immune Globulin This Week

I usually go to the hospital for a four hour IV of Immune Globulin every six weeks to treat my neuromuscular disorder, CIDP ( Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy). Now I"ll try injecting myself once a week subcutaneously for about two and a half hours, which should be safer than an IV. Instead of a large needle in a vein I'll have four tiny insulin sized needles in a fatty area of the skin.   I'll be able to walk around while wearing the needles and pump. It will also level out the doses. I pasted some information below.  CIDP is: Mine affects both my lower legs and causes me to have many falls and makes it difficult to walk, especially without my leg braces. Right now I'm using a wheelchair and working my way up to a walker. The medication is called Hizentra: Mine is with four needles and it will take a few times for a nurse to show me before I'm comfortable with doing it myself.
