Mace vs. pepper spray

"Mace" is not just a different name for pepper spray. Mace is actually tear gas. But it's confusing, because there's a pepper spray manufacturer in the US called Mace Security International.

The effects of pepper spray are really nasty, but one disadvantage is that it must be sprayed into someone's eyes or they have to inhale it directly for it to take effect. On the upside, it's more effective than mace when used on people under the influence of drugs or alcohol (because it doesn't depend on a pain response), and also wild animals.

In Queensland it's not legal (for civilians) to carry mace, pepper spray or capsicum spray.

Racecar

Racecar backwards spells racecar! I genuinely did not know that. And in case you think that's boring, how about this one? "Never odd or even."

Also, Kantong Butter Chicken sauce is not very buttery. It's missing something. (Possibly butter.)

Make your selection

I've seen ads on TV for iselect, a private health insurance comparison site, and thought it seemed like a decent idea to see all the options together if you're going to choose one. So I had a look. And realised that they don't list all the service providers around. What's the point in a one-stop-shop that doesn't have everything in it?

Memories

It's so long since I posted on my blog that I actually, literally, forgot where to find it. Let alone my username or password. Just as well my husband had me in his reading list, and technology expected me to forget how to log in all along. It was ready and waiting. Hello blog. I remember you now.
