Pardon me, I think my blog is showing

Don't mind the disappearing posts. Or the disappearing comments. Pay them no attention at all. Just be glad you currently have your website somewhere besides blogger.com. What's that you say? You didn't? Yah, I feel your pain.

    I was really lucky to be at work and then volunteering all Friday such that I didn't find out about the big blogger mess until after it was all over. Since I don't have any of my posts for the past six years saved anywhere, I'm really glad to have missed out on all that! Although, I imagine I should probably do something about the not having them saved part.

    I'm about to console you for actually having computer access that day but...I don't know. Maybe with the disappeared 8 years it was of posts, you're already used to it...

    Ah, but for those 8 years, I only have myself to blame. For this? I can curse bloggger. It was once a hobby of mine. :)

    Just checked, and there is an "export blog" link on the basic tab of setting on the blogger dashboard. It doesn't capture unpublished posts, as far as I can tell, but seems to work well for everything on the web. hth!

    I'm glad you're back. I made a wordpress voodoo doll and hugged it.

    Thanks. You too. I actually started a wordpress account "thinking" about it. But maybe another day...

    It was as if Blogger came down with a bad case of the shingles. Tried to leave comments on blogs but was rebuffed. Scourge! Glad to see that it's since been fixed.

    Maybe you should think about moving on over to Wordpress?

    If it wasn't for the time spent in figuring out how to adjust code in these dang widgets to get them to work again... I just might. Given enough frustration... Who knows.

    Sigh... How does that saying go? Familiarity breeds complacency or something? Can't argue with the quality of the company though! It's definitely top notch. :)

Unless someone signals that they've figured this out, I think I'll just turn in for the night

Research Triangle, NC (TVN) -- A study published last week in the Journal of Genetic and Mechanical Engineering has experts everywhere questioning the very core of their scientific foundations. According to Dr. Harrison T. Bagsley, A renouned genetics researcher, the same process of evolution and adaptation found in mammals is also driving mutations in the automotive industry. Specifically, in our cars and trucks used for transportation. "When I first discovered this, I couldn't believe it myself," Dr. Bagsley said, "But the statistics are undeniable." Dr. Bagsley, a down-to-earth scientist who prefers his friends call him Harry, went on to describe the meticulous process in which he personally surveyed over 1000 vehicles. "Each vehicle had the same new mutation - an appendage protruding from the left side of the steering column that moves up and down like a lever." Dr. Bagsley urges the public to express caution around their transportation ...

A Brief History of the Americas (As best as I can recall it)

Image
On July 4th, Americans everywhere remember what is important in this country. That is, of course, the freedom to pay 5 dollars for a cup of burned coffee. Never mind that the coffee is sold to us from a company that was so sure we'd make them rich they figured their bucks would reach to the stars... what really matters is that we are not drinking tea. See, the British were once horribly odd folks that liked to put milk in their tea. Apparently no one ever told them this was gross. Tea without milk was not an option for the poor colonies. Adding insult to injury, King George W. Bush insisted the 'Mericans smear Imperial Margerine(TM) on their English Muffins and even began putting thumb-tacks in the tea. As time passed, people got fed up (probably sometime after the middle ages when famine was less prevalent). A group of individuals emerged that decided they'd had enough and were going to do something. No one knows for sure who they were, but at least 4 of them were...

Technical How-To: Changing Oil

Image
This weeks post is brought to you by the letters "L" and the number 0. Representing, respectively, the nature of my work (Lousy, lame, loathsome, loquacious Ok, that's not really an appropriate adjective, but I was running out of Ls and felt like 4 words was better than three ) and the amount of time I have available to write this (0 hrs). So then, I will today leave you with a slightly edited version of something I lifted off the net years ago. It's posted all over the place, but my version is better! :) Oil Change instructions for Women: 1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change. 2) Drink a cup of coffee. 3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle. Money spent: Oil Change -$20.00, Coffee -$1.00, Total - $21.00. Oil Change instructions for Men: 1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree, ...
