~ Watching Over ~

This is another picture from my zoo trip. Seems like a distant memory now with all the things going on here, but I thought it fit the entry well. Momma watching over baby...... as we are all so lovingly watching over each other.
I remember starting my AOL journal having not a clue. It was so confusing so hard. I couldn't get a picture in my entry to save my life. Animation. OMG forget it!! I had no idea what all the links were, how to do the sidebar. How to add things I wanted there. But... I found other journals, asked questions, got answers, and low and behold I got use to things there. I was changing designs and colors like I change my underwear. It was comfy, it was home. Minus the trolls of course. This is really no different folks, with the exception of us all trying to learn at the same time. The base of users to ask questions from is much smaller. I've found things on other journals and asked about them. I got answers and did things. I tried to post directions in my blog, but of course it is very new to me I don't have all the answers. I'm trying though. We need to breath, be patient, and not give up. Everyone is trying to help really they are. One issue some might be having is the email the comments are coming from. If you are getting comment alerts sent to you, you see how they are sent. Most not from the users email. Please, make it easier on yourself and others so they can help. Add an email address to your profile. It's really no different then having your AOL email exposed on each comment you made in our journals. Don't give up, WE can do this!

Had a fairly good day today. Besides trying to get caught up here, I went to Time Warner (my cable provider) There are some issues with Lin TV, which carries CBS. They want to charge Time Warner for their signal. A signal that is free if you don't have cable. Anyway, as of midnight on the 2nd, CBS is off the air if you have cable. Talk about mass hysteria. Our football game on Sunday is on CBS. Folks are livid, some do understand the stand of Time Warner, others don't. It really doesn't matter though, they want their channel back. So Time Warner decided to give out free rabbit ears and a converter so you can flip off cable and get the signal. Good idea.... well until I decided to go there today. OMG! I turned down the street and was a good mile away from the cable office and I was in line. WTF!?! It took me about 30 minutes only to be told when I got there I had to keep going and get in line coming the other way. I drove and drove... it was at least 2 miles before there was a break and I could turn off the street. The line kept going. I said screw it! I have no idea if that was the actual line that kept going or folks just caught up in the jam. Didn't matter I wasn't going to spend my Saturday that way.
I decided to go shopping and continue looking for a dress for my nieces wedding. Let me tell you that has been no picnic either. I've been unable to find anything I like or that is in my age 'bracket'. More like prom dresses with lots of taffeta. NOT!! I found a gorgeous top, red, white, and black. Will look perfect with my straight long black skirt. Success! I bought a couple more shirts with long sleeves and 2 pair of slacks. Almost jeans but one black, one brown. Spent more money then I wanted but I was tired of getting up in mornings and not finding anything to wear to work. It's definitely been fall here. To warm for sweaters and too cold for summer tops. Oh well, I deserved some new clothes! Well, I do hope everyone is doing good and starting to get comfy in their new homes.

Hugs
