Keeping Busy – sort of

Not much new around here but I figured I had better type something before you all thought I had disappeared again.

Went to my neurologist appointment yesterday – not sure why I had one? it was made by the doctor.  I guess I am suppose to check in.  I don’t really see the point I guess unless I have a specific problem or question.  Most questions get the dunno or could be responses LOL  I appreciate that the doc does explain things, answer questions, and has no problem saying “dunno”.  I have more problems with the right leg now – duh – and got a prescription for neurontin (gabapentin).

I did bring a list of questions and sort of understood most of what she said.  I will have to email to clarify some things that kind of flew by my mind and I am such a pain in the arse when my other half says “no she said this not that”, especially when it is something I did not wish to hear. I think she said she was leaning towards I was in a secondary stage but the other half is not sure either -s0?  She was very ok with my not wanting to try the disease modifying drugs, in fact, she said if I were younger  she would push them, but, because of my age and other factors she was not inclined to.  While I was in the building I had my scheduled blood work done and got a flu shot – ouch!   I am such a sissy.

I started a new page here on the blog to keep track of what I have been reading.  I started a table to enter the info in. It now depends upon my remembering to add the titles as I finish each book. Ummm – we shall see . …

I have a few friends that I borrow and loan books with.  I get a back and loan a bag. I most enjoy the books I purchase over the borrowed because I love to read in the bath tub.  I just can’t bring myself to take the chance of dropping someones  book into the water.   I did give my mom all the Nevada Barr paperbacks so my collection is a few books smaller.  I know I should just go to the library but – well I have no good reasons really other than I like having my own books, hardbacks are hard for me to hold at length, and I read fast and don’t like returning them.

Well off to play with wordpress child themes again – I might use one  here too – they are a sure way to not have files overwritten by updates  and stifles the  screaming  when an errant stroke of the key or flight of the mouse sends code into lah lah land .  Then I am off to whine some more about my sore arm from the shot and start another book.

Playing with Themes – Again

Nothing can be more frustrating and fun at the same time then trying to fiddle with blog themes and settings.

I played with this them a bit on another domain and went nuts LOL. Apparently my htaccess files are all messed up over there. Perhaps I will contact the provider and get the domains reset and start over.  I was hoping to transfer this domain over there but lately I am starting to like sbc’s not allowing me access to certain things ha ha ha – sometimes simpler is better – when my mind is involved.

Over here, the database is so full of leftovers from old plugins, themes, and versions of WordPress installs gone bad,  if it were a car it would be dead along side the road with steam billowing out and fluids leaking on the ground. A toxic hazard.  A little listened to voice inside my head says DO NOT try and clean it up. Then the mensa ego voice says: but why not?

Fiddled with the theme graphics a bit but I am not sure how it renders with other browsers. I only have firefox, internet explorer 7, and google chrome right now.  So, if it looks wacky please let me know what is wrong and what browser you use.

I think it needs some more monster green? What do you think?

My doc prescribed some antibiotics and  gave me a nifty prescription for some cool cough syrup that makes me forget my ribs are aching this weekend.  I am starting to feel better on that front.

Well that is all for now – I just dosed with the cool cough surup. 😉


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?

Change of Theme etc

Well my poor little hacked all over the place theme has fallen apart. tired of fixing it. So – in the process of redoing theme and stuff with the blog.

Who knows what I will end up with?

Cross fingers and toes and arms, and legs – if you can
