My computer is totally acting up and I can’t access my emails which is where all of my jokes are. I had some jokes on my flash drive but I’ve already used all of them. Maybe by next week I’ll be able to post the jokes back on schedule.
When I don’t post on my regular schedule, it just messes my whole week up.
There are days like today when I really don’t have anything to say. I mean I do but I can’t always put it into words. That’s why I generally stockpile at least 3 or 4 posts for emergencies. That way all I have to do is edit the post to make it current and hit publish. I can write about anything from tv stands to Tiger Woods and his latest drama. But today I’ve hit a wall.
I should be back to normal tomorrow. I guess all of those days off last week knocked me off of my game.
I wanted to post more pictures in celebration of the Yankees win but the one I did post didn’t come out right. They’re too long and too wide. I’ve never really had any luck with posting pictures to my blog. I’ve tried several times and I almost always mess up. I can find a life insurance lead or any other information that I need online but when I need to post pictures I have trouble.
I need to start networking with more bloggers to find out where I’m going wrong.
I’ve been getting some funny spam comments lately. It’s even better than the foreign spam that I was getting but they’re still consistent with it.
Now I’m getting quotes and proverbs as my spam comments. Here are just a few of them:
I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out what I’m doing
The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks
I used to get comments about diet pill reviews or things like that. Now I’m getting a much larger variety of things. Like I said, more creative but they’re still not getting the backlinks.
Last week I didn’t blog a lot because of everything that was going on. This week my computer is acting crazy. For the past 2 days it’s locked up on me. I can get to the internet but then it will take forever to load the next page. Once I get to that page, I can’t get to any other pages because that’s when the computer locks.
I really don’t want to buy a new computer now but I may have to. The timing couldn’t be worse as usual. I guess I’ll figure something out. Maybe I’ll luck up and one of my friends will sell me one of their used computers. I can only hope.
I can blog all day long. I can figure out how to add a small picture or just a banner link. But if I want a regular-sized picture, I can’t figure out how to get it to look right. I posted 2 pictures the other day that went all the way over into my sidebar and messed up the title for the post under it. I spend all day surfing the net looking for life insurance quotes and playing games, so I guess I should look into how to properly crop and edit photos.
Maybe then I’ll post more pictures with my posts. I have to admit that I like the way the pictures balance out the posts.
Today is supposed to be my joke day. However I can’t find any that I really like. I have some that I think are a little too racy for my blogs but the rest seem to be really lame. They’re some variation of a joke that I’ve already posted. I looked at some sites that I thought had jokes but they focused on other things like the credit crisis, Mesothelioma cancer, or pet care. Those are not exactly joke material.
I’ll keep looking around to see what I can find. Hopefully I can find several jokes so that I can have posts for the next few weeks. If not, then I may have to start soliciting my readers for their favorite jokes.
Hmm, maybe I’ll make it a contest or something. Now that’s something to think about.
I’ve been getting a lot of spam lately. But what’s been really surprising is that I seem to get a of foreign spam. It’s Russian or a similar language. I can tell by the lettering that they use. Some of them leave long spam comments too, which is pretty funny.
I did notice that the majority of the comments come on my I mailed my bill late post. I don’t know if it’s a link somewhere or what. I guess it’s probably my first post that shows up in one of the directories that I signed up with.
Oh well, I hope they don’t think they’re comments are going to see the light of day. I send those suckers to the trash can so fast it would make your head spin. I would rather have no comments than a bunch of junk ones.
Woohoo I am so happy. I called my blog host several times trying to get customer service to help me out. They kept insisting that I added something to my blog when I didn’t. I did delete something though. I’m not sure if that’s what caused my blog to go down or not. I ended up deactivating all of my plug-ins, totally deleting one plug-in and changing my theme.
Now I can get back to the business of talking about trying to find a cheap New York City hotel for my trip in May. It’s only tentatively scheduled though. I may be pursuing another income opportunity but I’m not sure though. I hope it works out, but if not it won’t be a big deal. I still have my day job!
This blog is driving me crazy. I keep getting 404 errors and I don’t know how to fix it. I can only access this blog from work where there is still a cookie on my computer. Everywhere else I get errors.
I hope to have this fixed pretty soon because I’m going crazy.
