I'm still playing!!!!!
Thanks for the punctuation tip, Pixy...if I had known that two days ago, the whole pink thing might never have happened! :P
So I am fiddling around going "what's this do?" which means you may see some odd things as I experiment.
Notice the white border around the blog entries? I was trying to get the entries themselves to have a white background, but I kind of liked that so I left it (for now).
I have been playing almost ALL day!!! Not just on MT, but I actually went out to eat!!! (KFC has a terrific buffet for only $5.99... I blew the budget, but what the heck, I only get one day off in 12.....). I have also taken TWO naps today!!!!!
The down side is I've only gotten one page of my paper done today, which means I'll have to work on it during my blogging time over the weekend.
Could be worse...could be raining... (Marty Feldman to Gene Wilder, "Young Frankenstein").
Okey dokey, if you have any comments on the decor, please leave them on this post.
And if anyone knows how I can get rid of that annoyingly bright white behind my blog title, I would appreciate advice.
Thanks!
One of the reasons that the male/female equality issue is still ongoing is that the women came late to the party. (Ok, we pretty much crashed it, helped out by a few men who weren't total Neanderthals, but that's not the point.) See, God let Adam name everything, and we women have been stuck with guy-names for everything ever since.
Take tools. Is there a tool sensibly named "that pinching thingee"? Nope. It's called a pliers. How about that lifting-up thingee for the car when the tire is flat? A jack. What about one of those little baby nail thingees that hold pictures in their frames? A brad. Except for the fact I've never met anyone named "Pliers" you'd think guys were namimg all this stuff after themselves!
There is a tool we have at work that one of the girls calls an alum wrench, that I think was named by some man named Allen, which, had I been the one to name it, would have been called "that bent thingee we use to lock the doors." See how much more descriptive a name that is?
One of the little things that can make life seem too unfair sometimes is having to make coffee before you've had coffee.
Another is waking up early on your day off, just because your body is used to getting up early.
A third is a chilly drizzle too early on your day off before the coffee is brewed.
I could go on, but I think the coffee is done.....
