About this time every year I sign off from the blog for a week or so. Somewhat begrudgingly as I really do enjoy blogging. But for me – and perhaps you – a break is in order, while I refuel before heading into a… Continue Reading “Till Next Year – Parting Shots of the Boys”

Creative Spammers

Like you, I receive dozens of spammy comments on my blog posts daily, and most of the time WordPress classifies them so. It’s giving this Spam a bad name! I found these at the Aloha Bowl Swap Meet in Oahu. Hawaiians love their spam,… Continue Reading “Creative Spammers”

Is that you WordPress?? How Cheeky of You!

Yesterday when I started a new draft post, these shadow words appeared: “Share five things you’re good at.” “Who are you?” I thought to myself. “And what are you doing on my blog??” Definitely creepy. I ignored it and went on, saving the draft.… Continue Reading “Is that you WordPress?? How Cheeky of You!”

Stand Up for Blogging!

Maybe not how you think. In my case it’s a matter of ergonomics. My entire working life I spent in an office, in a chair, with a desk and a computer. Well, actually, I’m old enough to say the computer came later. But I… Continue Reading “Stand Up for Blogging!”

First of all, my apologies to the cats. “Sorry, Benji” “We worried you weren’t coming back, Sue.” “We’ll always come back, Benji.

Prompt 1: What Road Trip would you… Continue Reading “Finding Inspiration in Three days of #Bloganuary”

Happy Hummers and First Monday of 2022!

After eight long days, the snow of 2021 is finally melting, and we are left with slush and drizzle – welcome to the first Monday of 2022! A strange number for a year, don’t you think? When I was growing up all the years… Continue Reading “Happy Hummers and First Monday of 2022!”

Computer Woes with Benji

“I don’t mean to complain Benji, but technology is failing me badly these days!” “I can see you’ve been frustrated, Sue. Tell me about it.” “Well on the blog front WordPress is getting buggier. Not only does the functionality seem to change daily, even… Continue Reading “Computer Woes with Benji”

Fun with Photos of Mt Rainier where Size Matters

For as long as I’ve been blogging and including pictures in my posts I’ve had a conundrum – file size matters. As you probably already know there is a limit to how much media space you have, depending on your plan. I upgraded a… Continue Reading “Fun with Photos of Mt Rainier where Size Matters”
