Back of the menu

Ever so often when you go to a restaurant and begin to flip through the menu, you find that either you do not wish to partake of the items of food advertized within or would have liked to, but cannot afford their purchase. So you continue to flip and you flip some more till you reach the end of the menu. And then, in a final burst of optimism, you turn it over and look at its backside, space usually reserved for business hours and spilt food, even though bitter experience reminds you of the extremely low probability of menus in pamphlet form possessing a secret affordable / delectable food section spirited away on their backsides.

Ever since this blog was nominated for the Indibloggies, its readership and feed circulation has doubled in volume. I have a gut feeling that for most of you people who just tuned in, this blog is kinda like the back of the menu. I applaud your persistence in continuing to scour the web for reading material and optimism in hoping that this blog might have whatever it is that you are looking for, and even though I seriously doubt it, I hope you find it here and welcome you with both arms wide open, a carrot in one and a stick in the other, don't ask, it's a long story.

But for those millions of you who came here looking for sympathy and advice on "how to keep hair from falling out" and found flippancy instead, I can only hope that laughter being the best medicine and all, it helped your hair grow back (the lack of it causing you to pull at your hair, h/t S in the comments).
