HA! I have a globe dated 1982! I used to use it in my classroom as a learning aid for what the world used to look like before 1992, with the USSR, East and West Germany, and so on. I get students every year look at the globe and tell me its outdated, I always smile at them and say “Yes, I know, it’s a learning aid!” I like the chart, may print it out if I get a classroom anytime soon :-\

It would be great if you could have your link windows be pop ups instead of in the same screen. I always want to go through the whole list cause your links are great, and it’s a bit of a drag to have to search backwards.
Love your blog Nubby! keep up the stellar work

  Catherine: I will look into this and consider changing it. I used to have links pop up in separate windows years ago and I’ve gotten a few requests to go back to it. Thanks for the feedback!

thanks for sharing the “How to live a beautiful life: stop living vicariously through others” link. it’s hard when you see people practically worshipping other bloggers and feeling bad about themselves, now i have something to share.
