OY! Someone is going to get stabbed with a dirty fork!

It all started when David Dust sent out a message this morning saying that he couldn't access his blog. He had received a message from Blogger saying that he was under review for being Spam. Now, from what I know about David he ain't a can of Spam.

Anywho. Tonight I thought I would check in with Am Not Blog and London Preppy and I got messages that Internet Explorer couldn't load the website and it was aborting the operation. WTF? So then I scurried over to I'm Not Fit To Run and got the same message.

I COULD access some other blogs and I could access FaceBook and other websites. So then I thought:

1) somehow you screwed up your security settings;
2) the Chinese blocked your internet access while they were setting up firewalls pre-Olympics;
3) it is Comcast's fault;
4) your computer is on the blink.

Being the inquisitive person that I am, I downloaded Firefox and guess what? I had access to London Preppy, I'm Not Fit To Run and Am Not Blog.

So then I went to a help site on Blogger and gazillions of people are having IE problems. Also, Blogger has admitted that they made a mistake and blocked people that are not spam and they're trying to fix the problem.

I hope David Dust reads this before he kills someone with a dirty fork.

So now that I have spent over 2 hours trying to figure out WTF is wrong, I have some answers and I'm going to bed. The Calvinator passed out awhile ago.

P.S. Speaking of FaceBook, if you're on FaceBook and want to be my friend, let me know. :-)

Ramblings of a Stuffy Nose, Coughing Throat & Caffeinated Mind 10.1

Blogger Meets Blogger

I haven't been running or working out. I haven't been feeling too perky. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood so I decided to stroll over to the Tennis Center at Memorial Park and get some type of physical exercise today. I thought it was 1.5 miles but that is just to the edge of the park. According to Map My Run it's about 2.2.

Anywho, I found out that Brettcajun was in H-town this weekend playing tennis. It's always cool to meet a fellow blogger.

Had some difficulty getting to him because there were tennis balls flying everywhere and gates and fences. Finally made the connection.

He had commented in his blog that he likes Texas. It got me to thinking how much I like Louisiana and the folks that live there. I seem to relate better to the people of southern Louisiana...nothing against the northern folks, OK? Maybe it is the Gulf Coast connection or the I-10 connection or just the laid back attitude and overall friendliness of the people.

So here we are outside of the Tennis Center. He looks good. I have crows feet and I look like I don't have a chin or a neck. I really do! I really, really do!

Flowers

Here are flowers that are blooming in NoRO. Kinda pretty.

Things that make you go hmmm

So the other day I was out walking The Calvinator and I thought I saw a tumbleweed. We don't get tumbleweeds in NoRO.

Upon further inspection and before Calvin peed on it, I realized it is a Christmas tree. Someone has been storing this in their house since November/December and they're JUST tossing it out? So they just threw it in the street. Hmmm
