I kill Hard Drives

I have killed yet another hard drive. I think that I need to pack them in bubble wrap just sitting around to ensure that they don't break apart into atoms. This one, unlike my last one (a minor break) the drive is not reading. Crud! I had all of my music on that thing! Oh, well. I have an old backup, but it isn't the same. Curse me for not buying the $50 case to transfer my music. Curse, curse, curse!!!!

In other news, I found that uploading to flickr is sketchy at best. Bugger! It's like my silly verizon phone ... dropped call. Why, it just decided to do it.

Who visits my blog?

It appears from site meter that mostly those not in the US. Many times, their blog is not in English -- interesting to read and stumble over it. Perhaps my mention of oil or politics makes it found, but what in the world?

Upsetting

has anyone else noticed a lag time between publishing and posting? For me, there's a major lag time. It is upsetting and I wind up submitting things twice.

going through photos

I finally tagged each and every uploaded picture that I had. Yikes! It took 12 hourse to do it all. I'll have more pictures (archival) soon, via the folks who will take their stacks and stacks of photos, label them and I I will scan and upload them. Many oh many, do I need a secretary ... perhaps not a Taggert, like I had mentioned before.

Rude toys, gross candy

Cerpicio got these, uh ... treasures from his sister. Why would I encourage my child (ren) to favor these? Hey, kids! It's fun to barf, try it! It'll come in handy when you have severe flu, in that you don't worry about getting ill or the foul taste of partial and post digested food, stomach acid, and mucus stomach lining, as well as contributing to acid reflux.

Hey daddy! Thanks [burp noise -- repeated thirty thousand times]. It's a wonder if the bottoms are shattererd by annoyed parents.

BTW Cerpicio, where, did she say she got these?

Oh, and .... thanks for sharing
