Happy Halloween, Happy Samhain, Happy Diwali, fall, whatever you are celebrating, may you have a beautiful season. Hope you guys have a safe night, and if anyone is taking kids out for Trick-or-Treat, be safe, and above all ENJOY! I plan on coming back later this evening with more Halloween post, but this will have to do for now, it has been a busy work day. TGIF!

E-mail Etiquette: Before YOU Forward!

In Lieu of my painful misunderstanding, the latest "Fiasco", please remember not to send me forwards anymore if at all possible. If you simply MUST include me in your next e-mail forward, or anyone else for that matter, then please read this article. Learn How To Protect Privacy Of Those In Your E-mails . Mistakes can easily happen. An accidental "Reply All" when attempting to be helpful can land you in hot water with someone very quickly... as it did with me. By hiding the e-mails in the B.C.C. field, nobody else can see them, much less "reply all" and create a bad situation. It is the responsibility of someone upon forwarding an e-mail to keep their intended recipients private. Being "in the know" helps. So please read the article above, and be informed so you don't get into some real trouble like I did. Mistakes do happen, and everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves... really. So if you guys happen to read this, please know that I...

Normal Day

Image
Yesterday, I arrived home and I trusted my husband to actually give me a Vitamin B-12 shot. I'm not afraid of needles, just didn't really trust at first if he was able to do it, but he succeeded. Here I am, still alive. Let The Music Play Band practice went o.k. last night. Our bass player has still been having "issues", just various things preventing him from being able to function on a normal basis. So he was out again. Richie, Rob and I went on and worked through some new material, as well as a song that we began a few weeks back. I guess we made some progress, I don't know. I had lost the lyrics to one song, so I had to go and listen to the practice recording of it and try to write the lyrics back down. I made it through most of them, but there were a couple places I couldn't hear the vocal and couldn't get the words. I know, I wrote them, and you'd think they would just "come to me", but sometimes you lose words, and if it's not rec...

Spooky Now and Then (WWC)

Image
Earlier, I was trying to get around to comment on some blogs, and one of the Captcha's I got was actually "spooky". I thought that was pretty cool so close to Halloween. Yesterday I honestly did blog. I sat down with my microphone and made it nearly all the way through a podcast (which I haven't done in a long time, so I thought might be cool), and just as I tried to edit the thing, the application froze up and I lost it all. It was a big bummer, as I thought it was going to be pretty good and all. Maybe it was meant to be. I did discuss some emotional things, and things I probably shouldn't have brought up so I guess it's just as well. However, after the fact, I was in no mood to re-record, or attempt a new one, so I ended up not blogging at all. Psshht... what-eva. I'm also having a greasy-hair day. It makes me mad. I can't even look in the mirror really because the sight of it just makes me sick. As soon as it grows long enough again, I intend to ge...

Foggy Weekend

Been a semi-busy weekend, I just got caught up and didn't really find the time or inspiration to post I guess. Nothing really struck me. We went to my niece's party Friday night, it was really fun, I'll recap that more tomorrow, along with the rest of the weekend such as it was. I want to apologize for being lax on visiting this last week or so, just have had a hard time with scheduling and I've been a bit foggy and unable to get around to doing everything I need to do. I'm hoping this week I can remedy that. I assure you, I haven't forgotten about any of you. I will be by very soon, and play catch up. Hope you're not disappointed in your ol' Aunt Jackie. Hope you all had a nice weekend as well.

Hardcore Is Relative

What defines "Hardcore"? It depends on what you're talking about. There are hardcore criminals, and hardcore bodybuilders. There is "hardcore gay", there is Hardcore Pornography, and then there is a hardcore that you couldn't compete with if you tried. Take for instance what I am about to show you... Perhaps put on your corpse paint, and spiked leather outfits if you want to even get into the same league. Better yet, tease your hair to dangerous heights, and throw on your best parachute pants... because there is no way you're going to "Top" THIS... I don't know how he dragged it up, but Richie showed me This Painfully Ridiculous Video this morning, and I thought I was going to get a stomach cramp from laughter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!!!! What would you do if you saw 3 guys on the street doing that?? I personally would kick their asses, and then feed them to my vicious cat. I mean, really... That is just sad. What was with Dude's "S...

Stuck In The Middle With You

Image
Alright so I never got to finish up my WWC for this week, o.k. I feel bad about it, but I'm way behind and I am just going to have to try for next week. At least I did offer up my husband as some comic relief. :) This is Wednesday. It's the day that I thought was yesterday when yesterday was the day before, making yesterday's yesterday only Monday when I thought it was the day after... Make sense?? Well nothing else does today, so glad you could join me. Since it is "Hump Day", maybe a little good clean fun is in order. Watch The Video , it is the Sticky Note Experiments . It is fun-looking, and the colors are cool, but honestly (hate to be a stick in the mud, but...) what about all of this paper?? is it just being wasted? Did they use the sticky notes and then maybe even recycle rather than waste or discard them? O.k., I know I should be enjoying the display only, so go ahead and enjoy... Here's The Link Again . Enjoy! In other news, last night was Band Pract...
