Don't try to figure it out,Nan. I did and I've never been the same.

That's sounds like good info for the WP admin to post publicly: how many are viewing the site, and how many are viewing at the moment, or have viewd in a day or a week, any given page. Of course, i can't imagine how that could be done. But it would be fun to know.

(I preview, read & correct before posting, then I post, and somehow some mysterious and invisible force makes all these errors appear in my post, so I have to edit, then preview, read & correct . . .AHHHH!)

I dunno 'bout that. If I SEE that many people reading what we are doing, I my just hide in the oak tree and smile and nod occasionally.

ah. here, too. i can hear the neighbors filling up their ice chests and pouring their kids into the car to try to get a spot at the beach (too late, they'd have to have staked a place out days ago). at least the little monsters will be gone for part of the day, so it'll be relatively quiet.

i just went out to check on the kid - she's miserable, but pretty sleepy so i'm letting her do so. woke up to massive amounts of cat barf on my bedroom carpet - one of them has thyroid problems and now and then we have this scenario. it really needs one of those rent-a-cleaner machines from the store, but it's 8:00am and already in the 90s, and very humid, so it'll get rug-doctored another day. just scrape it off, disinfect it, and throw a fan at it, i guess.

i love summer. i just SO love summer.

left ya all twitchy, did it?

Knowledge is power.

It's just that in your case, it's the power to become invisible. Could use that myself sometimes.

Cat's liquid laugh on the bedroom carpet?

Thanks for that olfactory image, Nan!

well, i guess we'll see about running the kid over to the clinic - she can hardly talk now. you folks have a great labor day (or monday, whichever it is for you) and i hope to talk to you another time.

any time, bruce. any time.

Nan, sometime when you are around and have time (and the site isn't freezing!), would you be willing to tell me about your family and pets, so I might try understand better? If not, that's OK, but I would appreciate it if you feel you can.

That goes for you too, BlessedMom.

I almost forgot that I have to work this afternoon. My mother just called to see if I could use a hand at the store if it gets busy. Apparently she's realizes that I get flustered when there are more than 3 customers at a time and that sensory overload occurs which leaves me messed up for the rest of the day. Oh, and we are expecting some men who special order sweaters to come in this afternoon. Here's a side of me you all don't know, I can't talk to men in real life without staring at my hands, and mumbling, unless they are related to me. I turn the most lovely shade of red! I find that funny when I think about some of the things I've posted here.

Godwit, I think you may already know far more about me than you want to.

Nan, I'm thinking about you today! Take care of the kid and yourself. Maybe see ya' later.

Alex mentioned where it is to me one time. Downstate Pennsylvania, thinking inbetween Harrisburg and Phillie, but forgot the name, Lancaster maybe. But yeah, it's pretty bad. I'm not getting my email notices for a lot of things I reply to. It has was discussed else where about the ad's on WP, that when we're not doing anything important, click on them, it generates the money to keep WP going. This isn't free to someone and I assume Alex. I have thought some on the money angle and I think it might be kind of a rock and a hard place, that if there was a way to donate (poor word) to keeping WP at tip top, people might get the bright idea of accusing Alex of making money off of it. Well, I'm thankful for what is here anyway. About the only time I really get angry is when I'm in a spot where time is important for the communication that is ongoing and that has only been a very few times. What we do here doesn't fit the bill for what I'm speaking of. More in lines with the Haven. I don't do that probably as much as I should, but I have to have my head screwed on at least semi correctly when I post anything in there. It can be very draining as well, so I have to pace myself. This site is truly a blessing.

Send the damn heat this way, I'm tired of being cold. The temp hit 36 F two nights ago. A record and I know it was a few degrees colder here at the house.

PS I think if you hit the home page it will show how many members are on vs how many lurking.

PPS Godwit are you up New England way? Not asking for a town if you don't want, just a guess on my part.

We could use a little bit of chill here in south Central PA. Whereabouts in North Central PA do you live?

Chuck comes in whistling and feeling festive for some reason. Decides to decorate the rocks a little.
Suddenly the thought pops into his head that this evening one group of people will be inside "tomorrow" before they even get there, and another group of people will return to "yesterday", having already left it.




Nan - hope you and your daughter find some relief! And I hope that everyone else is also doing ok today!

Chuck hangs a little artwork, and puts on some festive music:

Lala la! La lala la! Some of these might help a bit:




Ok then! Starting to look better!! !
