I spent yesterday, until the wee hours of the morning, searching for a couple of places on the internet to advertise my new website. You'd think it would be a no-brainer, right? WRONG!! Yes, there are thousands of places that offer to advertise for you... some are cheap and some are expensive... you do get what you pay for... but .30¢ per click - come on!!! In ord

Oh Man... what a long haul... Someone teach me to NOT be such a perfectionist - PLEASE!!!!!!! I can hardly believe how bloody long it took me to get that website "just right"... but in the end I guess it was worth it... Just finished submitting to Yahoo and Google and thier criteria for submissions, while extensive, is not unreasonable. Lucky for me, I did my site t
Hey there Bloggy people... It's been awhile! I know, I know... my fault entirely, but I have a really, really, really good excuse!!!! I've been busy. (heh heh heh) No, really... I have been, but I betcha can't guess doin what? :) Well, I've been working totally hard on my website... but before that... but just after my last post, I started working
Oh my Bloggy Fans...Pray For Me!!! Ferverently!!! LOL I'm biting the bullet and installing XP and Office 2003 tomorrow. I just don't have the patience to search through every page on my template to find the content to edit, and link to all the pages blah, blah, blah, blah.... Hard coding is just that...HARD. Not hard as in difficult...
I LMAO when I read this...It was.... Amazing. I'm a fan!
Howdy All you Wonderful Bloggy fans! (See Below about the Request for FrontPage 2000 and/or Dreamweaver) I know, I know....I've been ignoring you all again. Please accept my sincere apologies, but I've been trés, trés busy trying to keep from burning my house down. That's really hard to do when you're distracted to the Nth degree.
Tonight (well, technically last night...but again...I haven't gone to bed yet, so it's still Saturday) Tonight I attended a big Birthday Party for an older sister who turned 50. 50. Dang.... When did all my brothers and sisters get so darn old? I have brothers and sisters who are GRANDPARENTS!!! Sheesh. I can hardly compreh
We have the same problems with a "Liberal" party in Canada .... They go to the point of ridiculuous in policy And practice. Fortunately we have a new Grassroots Conservative Party in opposition who will probably form the next Government. I pray to God that they will bring a brief reprieve of common sense to our nation, at least for a time, before the insane left takes over again. Why is it that the nutcake "lefties" seem to be abounding in
- It snowed here going on 3 days Danny... Yuppers...that was quite enough for me, thank you very much! Now....what's all this stuff about the US Missile Defense System by colgene? What - does he agree with me....or does he just disagree with Bush...Hmmmmm Guess I'll have to take his comments under consideration!!! <img src="../images/smiles/lol.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl
Yesterday I made some comments concerning Canada's participation (or lack thereof), in the US Missile Defense Program. I don't take back a word of it, but I would like to add one thing further.... Dear US friends...get the dang thing working and then maybe we'll seriously consider it. Otherwise, stop your whining. I did a bit of surfin
Well, my oh my, Contrary Cal is still alive and breathing! Yes, yes indeed, I am still alive and wondering when winter is EVER going to be over!!!!!!!! It's been bloody cold up here in Eastern Canada and I'm dang well sick of it. I've only been out walking 4 times this month - That's pathetic! I've gained about 10 pounds but am fast burning it
You are totally right about that...this issue Isn't exclusive to religious types. It just so happened that it was a christian group that brought it to the fore. I also found out exactly how insidious this "We Are Family Foundation" is. I was reading Dr. Dobson's comments about the storm this created not only surrounding this issue, but he himself, and apparently the Foundation scurried to remove blatant homosexual content aime
Well Dang,,, I almost forgot I had one of these here things to dicker with! Time to get back to the old grind...Churning out witty blog after witty blog... Cleaver little thang that I am. That's what happens when you step away from the blog for a day or two...You just start writing the first thing that pops into your head because you really don'
Hi Danny I did a little more research today, and came to the conclusion that this issue HAS been blown out of proportion By the media. Focus on the Family just issued an alert, concerning the agenda being promoted by the Foundation, so that interested people could check out the facts. The video is not a concern to the Christian Groups mentioned. Even the 'offending' pledge isn't that big of a deal, if taken in the spirit
Winter In Canada Sucks...especially if you don't snowboard, ski, skate, sled, play hockey...blah, blah, blah....I DO skate, rather poorly I might add, but this winter I've been just too darn lazy to care. Must be the aging thing ...but I'm quite content to sit on my Fat Ass and just play on the computer all day. (heh heh...not really, but I reall
This topic kind of has me a bit hot under the collar, since it was brought to my attention, so I'm commenting on it........ Leave it to NBC in Los Angeles to Royally screw up the facts...but they managed to do just that and paint Christians as a bunch of ignorant neanderthals - - AGAIN! What is it with mainstream media and Christianity?
OMG...You are a beautiful, beautiful person. Amen. Cal http://contrarycal.joeuser.com/bloglist.asp
JOB - Just Over Broke. Seems like that's all they are, what? Trading time for money...so what's a good trade? I've discovered that there is a world of difference between what other people want you to do, and what you want to do - jobwise. Perception is everything. Some of my friends still think of me as a housewife and think I should be ha
Well Danny boy, if I start having fits now, I'll have to change my name to Fitzwilliams or Fitzgerald or Fitz the cat, or something like that. Think I'll just stick with Joe for a while, cause really, fits just don't go very well with my new hair colour. OK, now HOW did you get the smileys in here. I can't find them anywhere. Course, in addition to being OLD, I'm also blind, so you'll have to forgive me for being so d
Hey Frogboy - nice site. Once I get the hang of this bloggin stuff, I'll start looking to get all the fancy doo-dahs like you! Chow Baby. Cal
Why thank you Danny - Thank you vary much! (in best Elvis voice possible)
In Scotland, every January 25, they celebrate the birthday of their national poet - Robbie Burns Day! A special pudding is served called Haggis which has been cooked inside a sheep's stomach. While the haggis is ready to be served, a man marches into the dining room playing a bagpipe. Behind him comes another man, elegantly carrying t
Well, well, weeeeeellllllllllllll.....Today I turned (insert a number _7) I have a daugher who is old enough to dye her hair so chances are the number to insert is NOT a 1. (or a 2...heh) Dang birthdays! Wish they'd slow down a bit!!!! Of course, it's better than the alternative I suppose. AND...as long as I'm on the right side of the grass, I
Today was our first REAL blizzard of this fine winter season! Man oh Man - It's trés White out there. Cold too. I'm glad I'm in here and it's out there. Blizzard Tip of the week: **Fill a couple of buckets full of water so you can still flush the toilet when the power goes out!** Now is that good advice or what?? I'm so dang

I know I'm not the sharpest tack in the drawer, and I know I'm somewhat bent outta shape, but dang, signing up to get this dang far with this dang blog wasn't a box of my favourite crackers either!!!!!
