My Cat Had Gastrointestinal Lymphoma: Saying Goodbye to Adah

By
On June 6, 2026, I lost my cat Adah. I'm still in shock, still crying on and off, and honestly still reaching for her out of habit. She was 8 years old and had been by my side for 7 of them. Writing this is hard, but I know it's something I need to do, because if you're searching for information about feline gastrointestinal lymphoma or trying to figure out what comes next after losing your cat, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been right where you are. Adah wasn't just a cat to me; she was like a daughter. She was the one who helped me survive losing my Maltese dog back in February 2019. I got her at the end of March that same year. She was actually my first cat ever. And somehow, without me even realizing it, she became the center of my world. I had no idea that choosing her would be one of the best decisions of my life or that letting her go would be one of the hardest. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🐱 Feline GI lymphoma is the most common c...

BenQ Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp: Boost Workspace, Save Eyes

By

Note: This was resurrected from Tumblr thanks to Google cache and was originally posted on September 11, 2017.

BenQ Silver Genie LED Desk Eye-Caring Table Lamp
After trying out (and still using) the BenQ e-Reading LED Desk Lamp and testing some accessories to go with it, I’m now back with the BenQ Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp. Basically, the Genie is a smaller, lightweight version of the original e-Reading LED Desk Lamp that does all of the same things for a lower price tag. At the time of writing this, however, there also aren’t any accessories to go with the Genie.

After using this desk lamp daily for the past month or so, I can honestly say that it’s just as great and effective as the original. The light is perfect for daily computer use and it doesn’t cast any harmful glares. The style is a little different, though and it doesn’t have as much range since there is only a ‘leg’ and no ‘arm’ like on the original version (see image below of original). The lighting can be adjusted in the same manner and has an awesome, intelligent e-Reading mode that has never disappointed me.

My duty to you: This company was nice enough to send me this product to evaluate and review for free. Don’t worry, I always keep it real - no sugar-coating - no matter how good or bad the product! There may also be an affiliate and/or referral link in this post. Thanks for stopping by!

The e-Reading mode uses a built-in sensor to detect ambient lighting and deliver perfect flicker-free illumination for working in front of digital screens (ie. computers, laptops, and mobile devices). All you do is tap and hold your finger on the metal ring to enable it; everything is done automagically from there!

You can also use the dial to manually adjust the warmth, coolness, and brightness of the lamp. Unlike many other desk lamps, you don’t just get a few settings that you can switch between or a small range of options. This lamp gives you full control over the tone and intensity of the light.

The Genie e-Reading LED Desk Lamp is perfect for setting the mood and best of all, doesn’t damage your eyes thanks to its advanced lighting technology. The LED panels have a lifespan of approximately 50k hours (that’s 8 hours a day for 17 years).

This desk lamp is also perfect for burning the midnight oil (for us night owls) since the e-Reading Mode adjusts accordingly. You can have the room light off and just use this and still be extremely comfortable. I use mine for my desktop computer but it would also be great on a nightstand if you like to read or browse the Web in bed.

If you are looking for a great quality desk lamp that is gentle on the eyes, smart with its features, and has a stylish, modern look then I can’t recommend this one or the original (if you have a little extra to splurge) enough!!

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...

He Flatlined. He Met Jesus. He Came Back. Read This Book.

I've always been fascinated by near-death experience stories. There's something about hearing that someone died, saw something on the other side, and came back to talk about it that I just can't look away from. Are they really seeing Heaven? What does it look like? What does it feel like to be in the presence of God? When I was offered a free copy of 18 Days in Heaven by Gabe Poirot for review, I said yes immediately. Stories like this always pull me in. Little did I know that by the time I sat down to read it, I'd be walking through some grief of my own. I lost my sweet girl Adah to feline GI lymphoma a few weeks after I said yes to the review, and reading a book about someone who visited Heaven and came back hit differently than I expected. Disclosure: I received this item free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. ⚡ Key Takeaways ✝️ Gabe Poirot was 20 years old when an electric skateboard accident left him flatlined ...
