>Here’s a link to a post from a blog I read regularly. I never get a flu shot, and I had flu way back in the late 50’s-early 60’s and I read somewhere (this link?) that I may be immune because of it. I am careful with handwashing, etc., and would rather not expose myself to something that may cause serious consequences. Anyone remember the last swine flu vaccine debacle? How do you all feel about this? Here’s the link:

Just came across this great translation tool which is in the sidebar. I got the picture from here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mdid/
I love gadgets and gizmos and playing around with things. This one is pretty neat, because not only does it give non-English speakers a chance to read your blog, it could also help you learn another language by seeing what you wrote in that language. Pretty good, I think.
Another sticky day, and I woke up to find that my a/c had a glitch and is not working. Of course it is Saturday, so I can’t really call the super til Monday. If they send out a repairman on the weekend, I can imagine the cost, and the more costs, the more rent will go up, me thinks. The windows are still closed and I have a fan on, so it is bearable. Besides, Bill is going by soon and will maybe clear this weather pattern right out of here. I hope.
Happy Translating, everyone.
Which reminds me of a ‘DUH!’ moment. Awhile back, I was all excited that I had a visitor from Finland. Next day I remembered I had commented on this blog:
http://moonlit-puutarha.blogspot.com/
which is Finland based. I assume he was checking my blog. This gardener posts lovely, lovely pictures, so check it out.

posting this picture. It’s from a great site I just came across:
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. There is some great stuff in there.
Ah, wait. Here’s another one. Yes, I do use a Windows pc, not a Mac.

Oh, yeah. Came across picture, which so goes with this: (click on picture if you can’t read it)

I guess I’m lucky that the depression doesn’t last very long. Thank you meds. I’ve been in the black hole, and I do not ever want to get that far down again.
These pictures are my favorite dishes ever, from my current favorite blogger, which delightful blogger seems to have more dishes than anyone I have ever known. I am very good at sentence construction, you may notice.

I almost moved my blog, since I am having such issues with Blogger, but it seems to work okay in the Safari for Windows browser. Several things in Firefox have ceased to function, like editing this blog in any way or replying to comments. Animated radar on weather sites, too. Why? The little man who lives in the computer decided against having things work. It’s kind of like this:
“Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.”
So is Blogger.

Here’s a link to donate food just by clicking. Actually, here’s two links:

http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=3
The last one has several one click sites. It takes about a minute out of your day to help others. It’s a good thing.
>I keep having problems with this blog. It won’t let me add things, or change the background. I may wind up moving it. Meanwhile, here’s a few things I’ve found today:

I’ve been up since 7am yesterday. It’s 8:30 am now. Was very tired and ready for sleep at 11 last night, but once in bed I was wide awake. I hate when that happens, and it happens a lot. I wish someone would come up with a cure for at least the sleep issues that accompany fibro/cfs. Anyway, I am expecting to be quite foggy today, and will probably fall asleep in time to miss Galactica. Fortunately, it’s replayed in the On Demand free section. Or I can watch it online, I think, but it’s more comfortable to watch from the recliner than from the desk chair. Gertrude thinks so, too, cause she sits on my lap when I’m in the recliner, but not when I’m using the desk chair. Off to have my coffee. Caffeine….it’s a good thing. Before I forget, here’s the White House blog site, if anyone is interested.

>Here’s a cool site I just came across on DumbLittleMan.com.
VideoJug – Life Explained. On Film.
>Went out with Tess today. Then played with Misty. Fun, but very tired and achy now. Was hard not to go back to bed this morning, but I really didn’t want to bail one more time.
Downloaded IE7, and a new bookmark add-on, Bookmark wizard, which displays IE favs as a webpage. Pretty cool. Boring looking, but neat to have them all there in front of you, with addresses. I printed it out as a backup, too. Nothing on tv tonight, so just going to play on here til I fade.
Here’s another blog I found a couple of days ago. Makes me sad. http://gocomics.typepad.com/the_sandbox/
