You know, my life is weird. It may not be much of a life, but damn, it’s interesting. I’m not exactly sure if it is my life. per se, or if it’s my perspective. Maybe it’s just that I’m so easily amused and entertained. Either way, prepare yourself for a weird [...]

I’m trying to take it kind of easy this weekend, dreading gearing up for working 4 ten-hour days this week. You might not see that as a major feat yourself, but for moi, getting up at 4:30 in the morning is something akin to having major dental work or trying to get a trial [...]

I been totally busy the last few days getting our hurricane aftermath house back in order after making our new living room and the guest room for the grandkids. The little spare room which used to house the monstrous computer desk and all it’s craziness, a single bed, a nightstand, PD’s stereo and a zillion [...]

Just out of curiosity, coupled with my own masochistic tendencies, I’m going to try to post a picture using the new WordPress handy, dandy “Add Media” option. This could seriously change my life! Or send me deeper into the depths of depression… ;-) Wish me luck.

I think I was on here Friday and was surprised to see the new WordPress design. I vaguely remember thinking WTF, where did this come from? I also thought I was just on the wrong page and I would wake up and it would all go away.
Well, in the mean time there has [...]

So this morning I come on and there’s two of these here… I think You Tube is trying to make up with me after that no-show.

Well, isn’t this just a fine How-dee-doo. I guess you are going to have to exercise your index fingers and go here to watch the video for my favorite song of the week. It seems You Tube is now part of the conspiracy to drive me nutz. Let me know how you [...]

Enjoying my Sunday morning with coffee and myself. Waiting for the sun to come out because dammit, I need sunshine.
Last night I was attempting to go on my Healthcare site and regrettably, was too freakin lazy stubborn to look up my username/password which I couldn’t remember because I so frequently (not) visit my Healthcare [...]

I’ve been all over the place the past few days and my little “Home Away From Home” here was feeling neglected. I was on and off but that jumping thing had me logging out more often than usual. That and Life. And today it was Beautiful Sunshine and warmer temperatures that kept [...]

I just found out that all of my categories are not listed in my Category Cloud. I promptly went on my Dashboard and went into my Widgets under the Presentation heading and selected 40 categories to be listed instead of the 30 that was shown in the box. I clicked on Save Changes. [...]

… was one of my favorite TV shows when I was 10 or 11 years old. It was on Wednesday nights which was my parents’ bowling night. My five brothers and sister and I would be home with a sitter. I don’t recall what all of them would be doing, but I would be glued [...]

Is it ok to screw around with my header, say, like once a week or so? Or is it distracting? I just realized a couple weeks ago that I can actually do that without any major anxiety. And since I haven’t been able to master uploading pictures, this seems like an option [...]

I have, in My Pictures… a lovely photo of me, all excited, holding my autographed copy of Maybe Some Day that I received in the mail a couple of weeks ago from my dear friend Raggy from Malaysia. If not for my gross ineptivity, you would be admiring it right now. (I tried [...]

I spent some time today thinking about our homes and wanted to ask a pertinent question that would invite some “audience participation.” I thought of asking y’all what your favorite room is in your house and why. I guess that’s as good a question as any.
But before I answer it myself, I want to apologize [...]

I’ve spent a week now looking forward to Talk Like A Pirate Day and I forgot about it. Bloody hell.
I’m not particularly lazy, I just don’t have time for a post tonight. But with the time you would normally spend here instead click over to the Little Sister’s place ON THURSDAY MORNING and wish [...]

One of my favorite pastimes used to be Blog Surfing. I don’t know if that’s an actual name for an actual activity but that’s what I call it. Once in awhile, after reading my regular reads, if I had time, I’d scoot my mouse up to the top of the screen and click [...]

I just noticed the better part of my blogroll is missing. Yay, I had nothing better to do today than piss around with my blog. Sneer, sneer.
I had three categories under the heading of Blogroll, those being Business, Playtime and of course, the blogs I read. So now I see everything but the Business portion [...]

Of all the trials and tribulations of navigating the Internet I’ve experienced, this new thing has to be one of the most annoying. There is a tv station or something coming through on my speakers. This has been happening intermittently for a little over a week. It’s not all the time but [...]

Well, Internets (is that like K-marts???) you may not have recognized me over the weekend. I got up Saturday morning, did my porch/coffee thing and came on here to read mail and blogs. Only thing was, there was no mail, no blogs. Our DSL was nowhere to be found. I was really bummed because I’d [...]

I would like to address more of what I wrote of yesterday, and I may at a future date but I’m irritated that I’ve not had the questions I asked, flat out, answered. I thought they were legitimate questions. Now I see that they are just the kinds of questions I ask over and over [...]

I really hate that I don’t know enough about computers. And I hate asking people questions about them. Once in awhile I run into someone who is kind and patient and seems willing to share their knowledge. But more often than not, I’m made to feel bothersome and rarely get a straight answer. It’s like [...]

Hi Kids. Haven’t been on here much, am having some aggravating computer issues. I come on and within 5 minutes I’m fed up. I’m not one to seek out a nervous breakdown. It will happens when it happens, I’m not going to invite one.
Hey, have you been over to see JuJubee? Her blog was mentioned in [...]

I always tend to get pissy when I think of you all sitting in your office/cubicle/whatever this time of day while I’m slaving away at work without a computer to surf on for hours at a time instead of actually doing work. But today I got one over on you. Not only am I sitting on [...]

This is what happens when a moron screws around with html.

I had something to say, which was nothing short of amazing, considering that I’m sporting a Novocaine-induced cheek/mouth numbification… but all I can think aboot right now is the fact that I deleted my profile photo and uploaded another one. Problem is, now I have a big black square where my Novocaine-numbed face should be.

Looking back over the past year of being 50 is having several different effects on me. Not all positive. In fact the mere fact that it has sped by with Mach 1 speed is something that I’m having difficulty swallowing.
In the positive sense I’m elated to be able to claim that I have indeed (or [...]

Pay no attention to most of my sidebar. It’s mostly junk. While it seemed quite simple to grab little boxes and drag them into a bigger box, I did a lot of grabbing and dragging for absolutely nothing. I thought that when you embed text in a box and click on the save button that [...]

I was going to try and fix my clock thing but decided it’s going to be all fuggered up anyway with Daylight Saving Time starting this weekend so there is one thing I can cross off my To Do list. (Mark, restrain yourself.)
I’m wondering why only Jeff’s and my pictures show up in the comments. [...]
