Thanks!

I'd like to thank all the commenters! It's nice to know there are a few folks listening out there. I've been off for a few days, twittering, cleaning & shopping. Paying the bills may not be Glam. but I've made a real effort to pay off most of my outstanding debt and "clear the deck" for saving for a new car. I think it's do-able, given my habits of working crazy OT and small footprint living. What Motivates You these days?

I'm Feelin' it Friday.

I think I must suck at blogs! That's O.K. I guess. Not everyone can be good at everything. I directed a couple of friends to my book review and other posts & no one commented. Perhaps that's telling me something. Or not. I wish the Truth were prettier, more fun or attractive, in some way but I'll stick with it. I'm also sure that working 80 hours this week isn't the most conducive to Reflection, Perspective whatever. The only thing that's working is that I'm not fearful about money and it's a Good feeling, but, like Happiness, fleeting.

New Idea!

Anyone who might know detailmedic IRL or can contact her, please ask why she password-protected her site and to contact me. My info is in my profile. Thanks!

Well, There's a First time for everything. . .

I got locked out of a blog. Boy, I didn't expect that! I put a post up about how the FDNY is on a hiring free-for-all and when I come back to the blog, they password-protected it and locked me out! it says I should contact the blog owner to ask permission but who knows how to do that? I certainly don't. Perhaps it's in error but I'll see if it clears up or not.

Anyone know how to go ask a blog owner for permission onto their blog when you don't know them?

And Now for the Funny...

I thought I would ask who you are currently listening to but I must pass along a Very Funny blog: Vonnegut's Asshole he's a writer whose posts are a little long, but if you don't laugh at some of his turns of phrase-seek psychiatric help!

A Small Note...

Paperlilies has decided to temporarily slow down on the blogging so she might be able to Have A Life. She is part of this site and will occasionally post. (& Vlog) It's on the blogroll. In other news, my right hand is the color of eggplant and It's too weak to use. I'm using Arnica ointment and hoping. I arranged to do desk duty tomorrow so I can pay back a Mutual (don't ask) so wish me luck I'll need it.

The Clock.

I found the clock on the left by accident while looking up the American Watchmakers' Institute website for an interested party. If you click on it, you too can have a clock for your blog or site free! (if you want one) they have 600 different clocks. I might vary the clock-'cause I can! For those of you uninformed about clock-watch movements, this clock imitates a complication known as a tourbillon. It is usually used in high end watches & sometimes clocks.

R.I.P. Kris Likey's Dad

I link to several whose blogs are worth taking a look at. One of these is Kris Likey of "I'm not a girl yet not a wino" Her father passed away a couple of day ago so her recent posts are filled with the sadness most of us experience when we lose a Parent. She's a great blogger with wonderful turns of phrase. Even though I didn't know the Man, He raised a great kid!
