Keeping Track on how to Comment – Confusing

Blogging used to be so simple. At least for me it seemed to go ok.

Now blogger’s are doing all sorts of things to make sure the evil spam does not make it to their comment sections. I have been lucky mostly in this area – awhile ago when more peeps were checking in a few got by the spam patrol – usually on old posts. So, if one kept getting them I just closed it for comments – done deal. Spam sucks!

Now some bloggers are going to Discus, friendfeed, the list goes on and on. Trouble is I forget what password I used for what service. Trying to leave a simple two line comment turns into a hunting expedition, usually I have to do the email me my last password or reset it thing – AUGH

Then I guess I am such a poop that some blogs don’t let me leave one, or when I do it never makes it past the approval stage LOL It is rather a new thing, this new if the blog owner doesn’t agree with me or someone they know decides I am not a nice person – then ha ha we shall not be approved ha ha ha

A gal could get a complex you know.

Or, the new sneaky one – where blogger A tells blogger B they think blogger C is ________ -and blogger B blogs a new post that is so like a message to blogger C – that in some cases might be you or me.  Oh wells -wondering where the free speech and information flow went.

Seems rather clichish and highschool to me sometimes.

I am guessing that blogging what is on ones mind whether or not it is popular opinion is not what some of you consider copacetic – at least not in your cyber circle.

I admire some of my blogger friends who can keep up on all the new social networking, in fact I belong to many of them just because they do. Why not?

Well if you agree or disagree with me on something you could always just post your comment here OK?

Meditations

“Brevi neque ipse ullus usquam eris, nec quidquam eorum, quae vides, neque eorum, qui nunc vivunt, quisquam. Omnia enim ita nata sunt, ut mutentur, vertantur, intereant, ut inde alia sua quaeque serie oriantur.”

–Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book XII

Consider that before long you will be nobody and nowhere, nor will any of the things exist which you now see, nor any of those who are now living. For all things are formed by nature to change and be turned and to perish in order that other things in continuous succession may exist.

Yet a little, and you shall be no more; nor shall any of those things remain, which you now behold; nor any of those who are now living. ’Tis the nature of all things to change, to turn, and to corrupt; that others may, in their course, spring out of them.

Before long you will be no one and no where and all the things you see now and all the people now living everything’s destiny is to change be transformed  to perish so that new things can be born.

Turkey to Terabytes

Turkey day was great! Lots of turkey, ham, potatoes, stuffing, pies, tamales, and lots more. Nothing like 40 or so people getting together and stuffing their faces tee hee. The different ways people celebrate this holiday are interesting too me. My family always made the kids sit at a different table.  At this one everyone sat at the five tables no separation of children from adults it was so fun. Kids are the greatest to watch enjoying it all – especially the deserts 🙂

The rest of the weekend up till today has been not so user friendly. Woke up with a head that spoke of a time bomb inside trying to go off and each step I tried for sent a wave of boinging  down to my tail bone LOL some points of this had me thinking ok now if I am gonna die hurry it up woulds yas.

Oh wells much better today.

Got an early Christmas present woo hoo a new drive to replace my almost dead one. I have kept it turned off cause it has like GB’s of photos on it. Most are backed up to CD but the time to finish the rest has not been a priority – major procrastination.  So happy happy am I for the gift of a one terabyte drive. Now to decide wheter to format NTSF or not.

Well off to read and hit the hay as I am gonna meat my friend so she doesnt have to sit all day at the shop where we arranged to get her lift fixed – augh 9am in the morning that is like so way to early. I know I am lazy sleep in type.
