Problem Resolved?

(24 of 50)
It’s been a week on the new system for sp*m removal, and it seems to be working. I have missed several days of blogging, but then again, one strives for quality not quantity, right?
Although, I am reminded of something a very good friend says (and maybe he’s quoting someone?): “There’s a certain quality [...]

This is a “biscornu” done by my dear friend Terri. It’s possibly the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen! A little pillow (way way too pretty for pins) on its own pedestal!
Even if it is a kit, there is an essential pleasure one gets from making [...]

Big Exciting Birthday Announcement

(22 of 50)
My dear friends, family, readers and listmates,
I will be 50 on my next birthday, which is JUNE 15. That is less than a month away, so get ready for some fun.
This birthday is very momentous for me. Not just because it’s one of those decade-milestone birthdays, but also because of the recent major [...]

Yes, Praise the Lord

(21 of 50)
This is an example of the kind of crap I have to delete every day. Similarly, I get fake, robot tracebacks (or whatever they are called) from “blogs” that say, “This entry is really good. Check it out!” which is really just another attempt to get real people to click on their pathetic [...]

Blogging Suspended for Now

(20 of 50)
I am not sure what is going on, but I’m getting some really huge bunches of spa*m, and some of it is suspicious. I need time to investigate.
It really irks me to have my content stolen and put on a spammer’s website as a “blog entry.” Just because I mention a keyword randomly [...]

Dear Word Press

The comment management really stinks in this new version. I shall be spending time tomorrow troubleshooting this shizzle, instead of doing my job or baking cookies or creating art or writing. I have deleted legitimate comments in the masses of sp*am that I’m also getting. But I swear to Goddess… I am APPROVING the legit [...]

Performance as Art

(19 of 50)
This video is really amazing and wonderful, and slightly creepy (too much Twilight Zone).
I love how the marriage of technique, art and performance work to bring life to this girl, and then the video is a lovely little vigniette with the music and editing. Golf claps to the little girl and her footmen!

I [...]

Knitting

(18 of 50)
I am a knitter. I learned from my mother when I was probably about six or seven. I am backdating that to the house I remember knitting in. I can see the bedroom where she had her sewing stuff. There was a little Singer sewing machine for kids there too, and I made [...]

My 40 lb. lap dog, Miss Lucy. She is not allowed on the couch unless in a lap, so it works out for [...]

Mother’s Day

(16 of 50)
I lost my mama in 2003. So for her, I will try to remember the good times, even though there was thousands of bad times to try and forget. As I sit here today, I think I would withstand some bad times just to have her back for a few hours, to chat [...]
