Technical difficulties

I think my rss feed is broken.  Off to attempt to fix. Okay, the problem seems to be limited to Bloglines.  The feed itself is fine.  Of course, anyone reading via Bloglines will never see this and won’t know to resubscribe….

Five Years

Five years ago today, I started this blog.  In the time since I have: Been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and learned to live with it Survived menopause Quit smoking Graduated 2 children from high school, 2 children from college, and 1 child from grad school Graduated from college myself Moved one child to Arizona Moved [...]

How social do I want to be?

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about this social media thing, and I”m coming to the conclusion that with the exception of this blog, I’m pretty much anti-social. I used Twitter for awhile, mainly to feed little tidbits into my sidebar here.  That was unrewarding because it was completely one sided – just [...]

Award and meme

Thanks to Sherry Chandler for the Kreativ Blogger Award! To follow tradition I’m to choose 7 things I like.  I’m sure mine are far more mundane than the choices of others so honored, but what the heck. Phone calls and Skype chats with my kids. Romantic suspense novels that make me believe, even for a [...]

Comment problems

I don’t know what happened, but commenting on the previous post seems to be broken.  They’re not going to either moderation or spam – they’re just being swallowed up by a WordPress black hole and disappearing.  But it’s only that post, I think.  Comments to the WP upgrade post work just fine. Sorry for the [...]

New year, new look

Notice anything different? I decided to jazz up my attitude with a new theme to go with the new version of WordPress. I still haven’t decided if I like this better than my ghost child, but I’m going to leave it in place for awhile and see how I feel about it in a couple [...]

4 years

Four years ago today, I wrote my first post on this site.  I was in a phase of rebirth then; newly diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder, entering menopause,  my oldest moving away after college graduation,  my 2nd child going off to college and my youngest starting high school.  A lot of things have changed since then. [...]

A brand new look

Since I can’t focus to get any work done this afternoon, I decided to test drive Release Candidate 1 of WordPress 2.7. Anyone else tried it yet? This is seriously going to take some getting used to. The user interface is completely different and I still haven’t found all the things that used to be [...]

It’s got to be the psych papers – or not?

Typealyzer is another analytical blog site, this time guessing what your personality assessment is based on your writing style. ISIP came out: INTP – The Thinkers The logical and analytical type. They are especialy attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at [...]

Gender really is a social construct

Given all my reading and mental gymnastics about gender lately, it seemed appropriate that I find The Gender Analyzer on Boing Boing this morning. It scans the front page of your blog and guesses if the writer is male or female. Interestingly, it missed on me. It could be because 2 of the entries were [...]
