• Um, I mean, You know, Uh

    “Um, I mean, You know, Uh” Um … these phrases and words have meaning, but I hear them far too frequently being used wrongly from people I know in real life as well as from people on TV and Radio shows, interviews, news, etc. I find it very frustrating to hear people who are otherwise…

  • My new gadget

    Frank wanted to get something for me, just because, and he did today. A Rave MP Arc 2.5, it’s a stylish little MP3 player, 2.5 Gig hard drive type … he got it at Costco. The package included a headset, not just the “earbuds” as it’s packaged online and found elsewhere. It’s made with an…

  • DreamHost One-Click Install of WP

    My rating: 5 out of 5 I changed HOSTS recently. On my old HOST I had WP installed. I’ve installed WP numerous times there and on other sites of mine. So when I changed to Dreamhost recently I wanted to see how their “one-click” install of WP worked. It was simple and easy! Fill out…

  • Popery

    The new Pope of the “Catholic Church” will surely be bringing about a lot of stirring the “christian” pot. So far, the very little I’ve seen about it all on Fox News TV, and I have not seen much at all … but what I’ve seen is embracing of this new Pope by more than…

  • NPP Stuffage

    An NPP Link: Paul Perspective. I originally posted it on Valerie‘s weblog here. Cindy asked about it on my other weblog, and this is the weblog on which I do that sort of posting, generally. Any relevant comments are welcome, discussion welcomed, no dissention though 😉

  • NY Observer Gets Curly Hair

    Is She Straight, Or… A Secret Botticelli? Girls Scorn Curls by Liz Krieger [Google Cache] This is a humorous piece about something I’m very familiar with . Curly hair, and straightening it and pretending it wasn’t really curly. I myself blowed it out in my teens. I also chemically straightened it by myself in my…

  • “Natural Born American”

    Fox News Channel was on this morning, TV, and I heard them talking about the “plot to assassinate Bush”. A photo of the guy was on the screen. Judge N. said something about the guy being a real American, as American as the next American (he really said “natural born american” can you believe that?!!)…

  • You Can’t Take It With You (1938)

    The title of this post is the Title of the 1938 film that won Best Picture Oscar. “You Can’t Take It With You”. This night just past I awoke in the wee hours of the morn and couldn’t get back to sleep. I had the TV on and was searching for something to watch. I…

  • WordPress 1.5 Unveiled

    I downloaded the new version of WP (1.5) and it’s very nice. It’s simple to use, and can be complicated though to convert your older WP template too. I have thus changed my look here and have used the default Kubrick theme and changed it a bunch to start with. In the install, I forgot…
