The Great Divide
I have been thinking a lot this week about how divided the country has become. (Actually, I was partly wondering if we have always been this way, but that omnipresent news and social media have made us more aware of it). That part doesn’t matter though. Here’s what I was thinking: Increasingly, we are being…

How do people feel about affiliate links???
Serious question – how do people feel about affiliate links? Are they a turn-off? I recently signed up for an Amazon Associates account. Apparently if someone clicks through one of my links and then buys something, they pay the same price as everyone else, but Amazon sends me a few cents as a commission. I…

Wheat Allergy and Gluten Sensitivity are NOT the Same Thing
Wheat allergy and gluten sensitivity are not the same thing. And neither is the same as Celiac disease. Dear everyone, please – just stop. I am allergic to wheat. There is a test for that, and I failed it. Spectacularly. Because of that, I cannot eat ANY food that contains wheat. I break out in…

Why is everyone so “judgy”???
What is it about people? It’s a strange question to have to ask – Why is everyone so “judgy”??? There probably as many reasons as there are “judgy” people. Ok, I have a confession to make. But first, I want to say that it infuriates me that what I am about to share would…

How would you begin?
Random thought that has been kicking around inside of my head – “If you had to write your own story, how would you begin?” In other words, what would the first sentence of your autobiography be? I don’t know why this has suddenly become important to me. But it seems to be where my mind…

Random Thoughts. A Mini-Autobiography
I had no idea that my random thoughts were going to turn into a mini-autobiography. If that’s not your thing, or not why you are here, feel free to pass over this one. Unfortunately, I need a bunch of background to support the thing that I have been thinking about. History time My parents split…

Any idea why chrome won’t load my WP Login page?
This is weird… Posting from Firefox (which I hate) because Chrome just times out loading my login page. Works fine from Firefox (which I hate) on the same computer. Works fine from “Incognito Mode” in Chrome (which isn’t really useful for my purpose here). Strangely, it even works in Chrome if I first log into…

Down For a Couple of Days!
My apologies to the 1.2 people who actually read my ramblings; I did a system update which apparently upgraded php to version 8, but didn’t fix the links within the web server to point to the new version. So it wouldn’t load. I got busy, and only just now got around to figuring it out…

Secrets
Trivia question: How many people can know a secret? Whatever you answered, you were probably wrong. Unless your answer was “1”. Because as soon as more than one person knows a secret, control has been lost and it is no longer a secret. So what? The same problem applies to conspiracies. The more people that…

Moving Pictures
The title of this post, Moving Pictures, is kind of a play on words. My mom passed away a little over a year ago, and we have been slowly and intermittently dealing with her “stuff”. We had downsized her quite a bit before she moved in with us several years before, but the number of…
