Ah yes . . .

and I’m a bit late and back-posting this, and due to recent circumstances, I don’t have a lot to say . . . except that I’ll be foregoing the numbering going forward, although I still hope to continue writing on a weekly basis.

So what was one thing you learned in this past year that you didn’t know before? Discuss. ;-)

I thought I’d solved this . . . but the “new” computer (my “flea market” laptop) actually doesn’t have IE installed yet, so I can’t even get back to using the IE feed . . .

But here’s the thing . . . I’ve tried the Firefox plug-ins . . . I’ve tried using my Yahoo page . . . heaven help me, I’ve actually tried to use Google Reader! 

And I HATE. THEM. ALL.

I want my feeds the way IE does them . . . all lined up in a pretty little row, titles only, and highlighted if there’s new stuff I need to read.

I don’t want to see a snippet of every flippin’ article (over a hundred, remember?) every time I sign on.

I don’t want to have to navigate back and forth to another page when I need to get back to my list. I want to be able to just click on that handy little sidebar and go from there.

I know that I have way too many feeds . . . and I will pare them down, I promise! But there are too many that I truly DO want to read that are falling by the wayside. Do you know how long it’s going to take me to catch up on this guy’s blog? or this? or this? or this? Seriously, this is my tivo . . . and I’m severely compromised without it.

so for now, do I go back to reading blogs on the dinosaur desktop computer in the red room, and doing everything else while lounging in bed, using the laptop?

If you hate the new Facebook layout (then you should’ve started sooner! just kidding), then you may have a tiny smidgen of understanding of how VERY much I hate this. and my own advice to others vis-a-vis FB doesn’t apply here . . . I don’t WANT to “just get used to it”.

(wah, wah, wah. anybody got some cheese to go with this whine?!)

but I am REALLY in the mood to change my blog theme again . . .

I’m just kind of bored of this one.

thoughts? comments? protests?

 It’s just me doing just some reflecting . . .

I have had random shreds of encouragement come my way several times this week, and from sources that have surprised me. And not a moment too soon, because these things that have been said have been reminders that who I am and what I do really might make a difference in some small way. It was especially helpful/meaningful to me to hear one person tell me how much they appreciate my straightforward style, and the fact that I am honest (what some call “too honest”) and open about things.

As anyone who reads this blog already knows, I tend to have very strong opinions, and I tend to express those opinions with great passion. Unfortunately, I am (as I have often described myself) “one of those people that you either LOVE or HATE”, and not everybody is in the “Lorraine Wronski fan club”. (I have even written previously about my own faltering membership in said club.)

The hardest thing about it is that I’m still me . . . and the things that people want me to change about myself, the things that get in the way of me being/doing what I want to be and do, and of what I would deem (Spark-worthy) success, are things that make up the core of who I am. AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO STOP BEING ME!

(more…)

or . . . “thanks but no thanks”?!

It’s great that I’ve had 342 hits today alone on one particular posting of mine about you-know-who . . . but seriously? I wish I could get that much traffic for some of the stuff I talk about that REALLY matters. 

here’s where we stand so far (and it’s only 6:30 at night! although if the workday is over, perhaps the searches will slow down). 

(I’m taking out the “u” to prevent people unnecessarily flocking to this post. I intentionally avoid cross-posting to that entry, as I don’t really need/want to drive MORE traffic there . . .  and yes, I AM cursing myself for not having gone to self-hosting sooner than this . . . think of the revenue I could have generated through ads!) 

Here are some words that people searched today to find me and my perhaps-a-bit-over-the-top opinions: (yeah, I don’t know what the “teeth” thing has to do with it.)
