I Got A Code In My Doze 2008-02-27 23:35:58 I have an awful cold. Could be the flu, I ache, I’m running a fever and I’m generally miserable. I’ve blown my nose a kajillion times and I still have a head full. Looking at my raw, red, nose in the mirror, its really a sight! After yesterday’s post, Loving What I Got , and [...]

Nor, will I approve the spammy gross comments of those who have captured all the do-follow sites and hit them systematically with their autospam. With credit to Dr. [...]
Cover Your Own Bare One 2008-02-27 16:09:57 If you’re a small business owner, like me. Chances are, you deal with contract issues on a daily basis. In one form or another, contracts bombard us. Most of them are easy enough to understand, basic quid pro quo. But what you need to know about contracts and what legal remedies each party might have [...] Read more:Cover
Loving What I Got 2008-02-27 14:05:32 There’s been a lot of talk lately about women of all ages, opting for cosmetic or surgical enhancement. I used to live in an area where a woman’s body was overly important. That would be the Redneck Riviera, for those of you who are wondering. Quite often, women would come to Gulf Shores, to visit one of the [...] Read more:Loving
Its All In The Eye Of The Collector 2008-02-27 12:42:33 I occasionally get around to reading the WSJ, ocasionally I said. And today while I was browsing happily through the December archives, I came across an article which blew me away. Now, I’m not broke, by any means, but I certainly don’t have the funding that some people have according to this article.
Seems that designers, in [...] Read more:Collector
Ocean Resort Meets Riverfront History 2008-03-11 21:08:50 I’ve always been a movie bug. Two of my favorites were filmed in Wilmington, NC. With time on my hands and a curiosity that wouldn’t stop, a short two hour drive put me smack in the heart of the Cape Fear Coast and the beautifully historic Willmington. Little did I know, the area is known as [...] Read more:History

I’ve Got A Mission 2008-03-11 17:23:56 After successfully completetion of Master’s work in Medical and Business Ethics, there are a lot of things that I question. There is one thing that I know for sure.
The coming of a new day, the sunrise, is the promise of a new beginning. A chance to right our mental and physical boat, a chance to bask [...] Read more:Mission
Hot Date With A Cool Treat 2008-03-11 15:20:30 I’m from the Redneck Riviera. Raised on shellfish, it’s no great surprise that I look forward to our trips to the Low Country. I’ve made it a point that my first date with an oyster this year was early on in our adventure and WOW! It was far too long in coming.
Now, I realize that [...]
Two Days On The Road 2008-03-11 14:25:02 Manic Monday™ Redux
Monday’s are starting to be a pain, a real pain. We travelled to the east coast of South Carolina over the weekend, from the western part of Mississippi. If I thought my butt looked like the car’s upholstery before, it really does now. Fourteen hours (count ‘em 14) on the road and a [...] Read more:Two Days

Dancing Backwards In High Heels 2008-03-13 13:02:18 Personal Thoughts On Life
Five years ago, on February 14, my Daddy (its a southern thing) died. It took me two weeks to shed a tear. I’ve thought of those days preceding his death and immediately following his death often over the past years, wondering what if.
You see, for the 8 years prior to his death, [...] Read more:Backwards

Breadcrumbs 2008-03-18 08:59:29 Spring has sprung in south Tennessee. Most of the day yesterday I spent enjoying the pastoral scenery here in the foothills.
One of the things that caught my eye was a female cardinal, really a beauty. She spent the better part of an hour flying into a window on the backside of the house (beautifully clean [...]
Are You An Entrestreaker? 2008-03-20 13:23:54 Entrecard Manners Count
You might have noticed that I used Entrecard on this blog. I don’t on my other blogs, well just because I don’t. There’s no scientific evidence, at least as far as I’m concerned that its good or bad for my uses. However, I do have a few little gripes about its use on [...]
High Cotton 2008-03-22 14:06:22 Spring Cleaning. Its either a YIPPEE or UGGG thing for most people. For me, its mostly YIPPEE. I get to open the house up, let the breeze off the water blow through the house, hang the bed linens on the line outside to dry, and basically feel spring throughout the house. Being closed up inside [...] Read more:Cotton

Tuesday Mix-up 2008-03-25 12:57:24 Two For The Price of One
Its Tuesday
, another beautiful sunny day here in Tennessee. I’ve managed to find a way to mix exercise and blogging for the last week, and quite frankly I’m gonna miss it. I’ve been walking to the local library (don’t get excited, its only about a mile round trip) to do my [...]
It Ain’t Easy Being Green 2008-03-26 10:53:14 I jumped on the “green” living bandwagon a bit late, I suppose. By all accounts, old hippie that I am, I should have been “green” long ago. In ways I am and always have been. In my home, I’ve preferred glass containers of all types to plastic, I’ve recycled carpet squares to anything from coasters [...] Read more:Green

A Tale of Two Blogs 2008-04-22 12:05:26 An open plea to Word Press Development
Dear WP,
I recently upgraded my successful WP 2.3.3 blog install to 2.5. What a nightmare. Pictures won’t load, posts don’t show, I cannot edit comments, the lists go on and on. The user console is unfriendly and loaded heavily with unnecessary items, my former wysiwyg editor is gone, replaced [...] Read more:Blogs
