The yuletide season is upon us once again, and I'd like to point out that there are more "true meanings" than one. The origins of Christmas are older than the Christian Church and much more universal than the story of its Savior. Many cherish the religious holiday for...
Since the new beta version of Blogger sucks, I'm researching new blog hosting websites. I'm looking at Orble and tBlog and others. I realize Blogger is the godspace of blogs, but their new beta version doesn't allow me and my Safari browser to post (small problem)!...
So the solution to my iPod problem is to install the latest operation system. The latest operating system is Mac OS X 10.3.9 and it costs $150. That is the only way I'll be able to use my $150 iPod with my PowerBook G4 Apple laptop.I tried to find a friend with the...
I bought an iPod nano today. But when I tried to plug it into my Apple laptop and install it, I got a message that says it can't be installed unless I have iTunes version 7 . So I went on itunes.com and downloaded iTunes version 7. But when I tried to install it, I...
I switched over to the new Beta Blogger version and I can't publish in my usual browser, which is Safari (I have an Apple). It turns out I can still publish with Internet Explorer which I also have, thank god. My suggestion is that bloggers avoid the new Beta version...
I can't believe I'm doing this again. I've burnt out on waitressing and want to make another career change. Career change? Can I call it a career change when I don't really have a career? Maybe a career in changing jobs. In the past 15 years I've held jobs in five...
I just wanted to express my envy of everyone who has a regular job that gives you the next four days off. I remember the office-job shortened last day before the Thanksgiving break during which work ebbed and goodies were everywhere. It's so great. And then you get...
Another blogger is suffering from the pain of the sudden death of her father. She's in her twenties and he died quite young. I have absolutely no way to begin to try to understand what that's like, and I wonder (again) how it's possible that almost everyone else in...
Big Fat Deal has posted two videos. Check out the second one. I love it. You go, girls! (But you might not want to watch it at work. If you do turn down the sound).
Could it be a national food addiction problem that leads us to eat and eat and eat until we're in pain on the day when we're supposed to be giving thanks for something? Maybe we spend a few minutes during grace focusing on what we're grateful for AND THEN WE EAT. Why?...
I've been reading about this in Oprah Magazine and I'm sorry to say I'm experiencing it in real life: the mid-life weight shift and expansion of the midsection. I haven't actually gained any weight recently, yet lately I'm noticing that my pants are tighter and I'm...
It's been about 20 years since the last time I received a haircut I really didn't like. It's a horrible thing, especially when the main problem is that they cut the hair too short. Sometimes you can get a very good hairstylist to fix a bad haircut, but no one can make...
This is my Halloween ghost story. Please go back to Part One if you're just starting it. I'm publishing it here in five (5) parts since it's kind of long. “Mother!” Lillian called into the middle of midnight. “Mother! That's enough! I have heard enough from you and...
Sorry, I hate to interrupt the flow of my ghost story, but consider this a commerical break or something. I need advice on this one. Help!My boyfriend and I have sleep problems. He snores horribly and has an appointment to see if he has sleep apnea, but that still...
This is my Halloween ghost story. Please go back to Part One if you're just starting it. I'm publishing it here in five (5) parts since it's kind of long. Eulalia's nightmare visits continued for over two weeks. Lillian felt a tugging at her mind and will. She...
