Every which way the blogging heart goes next…

Posted on April 19, 2013 by Kathy

OK, it’s time for another blogging blog.  You know, the kind of blog where you blog about blogging.  (We do this when blogging becomes more important in our lives than, say, thinking about doing dishes.) There is SO much to … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2013 by Kathy

Let’s face it.  There are a million blogs out here.  OK, maybe three million. If you’re a blog reader–or writer–with limited time and energy (and perhaps no inclination to read three million blogs before bedtime) how do you choose? There … Continue reading →

You are like water, you change, but you’re there.

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Kathy

I received a compliment Wednesday on this blog. You know how you sometimes get negative feedback and sometimes receive positive feedback on your posts? Once, several months ago, I complained about a negative comment, which broke my heart temporarily.  (Don’t … Continue reading →

And then there was weeping & gnashing of teeth…

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Kathy

The weeping and gnashing of teeth was heard for miles around. Beavers ceased their gnawing on logs to discover the source of the commotion. Woodpeckers stopped pecking on trees, searching for delicate insects to munch, cocking their peckered ears to … Continue reading →

Ooops! Pardon me! (I wrote the same blog twice.)

Posted on February 26, 2011 by Kathy

Sorry, readers.  My memory is not–how shall we politely say it?–stellar. I can forget what someone said yesterday.  OK, two hours ago.  I can forget what I said two minutes ago. And–obviously–I can forget what I said five months ago. … Continue reading →

To reply to blog comments or not to reply to blog comments. That is the question.

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Kathy

I’ve been pondering this one for over two years.  On and off.  Mostly I keep deciding to continue replying to blog comments, but sometimes it seems more prudent to just stop. Here’s the scenario.  We write our blogs.  People comment–or … Continue reading →

You can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself.

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Kathy

Thank you for that quote, Ricky Nelson. “You can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself.” I suppose some of you don’t like that headline, right?  Some of you think it’s too “pop culture”, don’t you?   Some of you … Continue reading →

Help! My brain switch won’t turn on!

Posted on October 24, 2010 by Kathy

Does anyone else have a brain response switch that flips on and off?  A switch that allows and doesn’t allow you to respond to your emails and comments? Or does everyone else in the Universe read their email or blog comments and … Continue reading →

When the comments are as good (or better) than the blog…

Posted on June 17, 2010 by Kathy

The cell rang as I drove back home Wednesday morning.  It was Barry. “Hi, hon!” he said enthusiastically.  It was about 7 a.m. and I had a seven hour drive ahead.  I tried to match his enthusiasm. “You know,” he … Continue reading →

This post is not about Facebook. Mostly not about Facebook.

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Kathy

Hello, everyone!  Ohmygoodness, it’s been QUITE a weekend.  I am completely undone.   One of my worst traits (this is time for Confession) is an absolute obsession with WordPress hits and comments at times.  I apologize for this in advance.  (Darn it, … Continue reading →
