As of this very moment, you are hereby forbidden from whining, “I can’t think of anything to wriiiiiiiiiite abouuuuuuuuut!” because I’ve got the answer you need.
BBC News has published a list of the 100 best items from its “10 things we didn’t know last week,” available by clicking here.

Hey,
I love this list. In fact, I’m going to start thinking about my muscles more (right now) if that will make them stronger.
Oh, yeah….and I need to actually write about some of these things, too.
Thanks.

Addicted to the internet? Who, me? LOL.
I had no idea that so many abandoned blogs existed in cyberspace, but I can see why. Blogging starts out smooth for many, but then it becomes a chore down the road.
I imagine that the shake out will prove to be a good thing. I just wish that some of the long forgotten blogs were deleted to free up some space.
