An Age of Magic

Mind your kids ears

Small children are well known for poking all manner of objects into their noses and ears but this story from the UK really takes some beating; parents take note!

A nine year old boy, who was diagnosed as being deaf when he was two years old, recently discovered ’something’ coming out of his ear. He scratched and poked at it until his mother decided to investigate further. She saw that a tiny piece of cotton wool was poking out of his ear.

Taking him to the hospital staff then removed nearly 2 inches of cotton wool that the boy had poked down into his ear when he was a toddler. His deafness disappeared!

All’s well that ends well, but I would like to know how doctors never discovered this when they were testing his hearing back when he was two!

Keep track of your sites visitors…for free!

If you like to keep track of how many people are visiting your blog or website you may well have considered placing a counter on your pages. This can give you many advantages…you can see where they are coming from and at what time of day or night. It’s a great way to keep a total on your site’s stats.

This is a minor, but important, aspect of maintaining a website so you will be looking for essentially a free counter.  Free Counters will also offer you several different components to place on your site such as facilities for conducting polls and a date and clock timer as well as a search engine. Remember, they are all free and all you have to do is spend two minutes signing up for the option to do so. Take a look at what they offer you and then decide for yourself.

Who ya gonna call…Ghostbusters??

Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever read those stories where in the past people taking photographs have accidently captured an uninvited  ‘guest’ on the negative?

I have seen those stories as well and from the off you could tell that they were fakes. But this one might well start you thinking…Frightened teenager Matthew Summers was given the creeps after taking a snap of seven friends - and finding a mystery eighth face staring back.

The photograph appears to show the floating ghostly image of a child, which appears to be peeping through between the legs of his friends. It certainly looks real, but if you allow for the fact that teenagers were involved, you could well be convinced that spiritual forces were at work at that moment.  I have an open mind with anything regarding the ‘other side’ and I am keeping it open in this case.

But why is that little girl crying?…
