Rollyo

Hummed and Hawed a bit with this one, then went for a sports thing to help me find news and reports on my fave athletes etc. (Michael Vick was not one of them!)
I "rolled" my own search engine (tool?) called allanasports (creative huh!) and added about 9 sites that I knew would render some appropriate info.

Back to the OTHER 23

ahem y'see Becks is #23 :) he he!
So I had fun with the Meez as you can see to the right, and I like Lirarything.
I started a catalog of books I read years back and tagged it childhood favourites.
I also added HELPFUL LINKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE. CHECK IT OUT!

GOOOOOAAAAAL!

Can't HELP IT- I'M BESIDE MYSELF-SO TICKLED THAT I WAS WATCHING THE GAME LAST NIGHT BETWEEN DC UNITED AND LA GALAXY when Beckham scores his first Galaxy goal from his bread & butter free kick---beautiful!
I'm glad the family weren't in bed yet cos I was yelling and cheering. I love Becks!
N E way I tried to upload the video from youtube to post with this-but I think it shows on the right side of my previous post. For fellow FOOTBALL fans- enjoy!

workin on the THINGS!

Hey here..well let's see, playing KETCHUP here a little bit-it's half way thru week 4 and I've just completed week 3 phew...it was like pulling teeth- MY OWN.
Like the fact I can have news feeds sent to me regularly on subjects and topics I follow. Didn't like the fact that i had to create another page to have this, though how else would it work right?
So now I have Yahoo/google username, a Blogger account now a bloglines account and noticed there's a place to sign into Merlin. Well I didn't do that..yet. I used Feedster to find a web site I look at often and subscribed to it. I subscribed to a couple others and had already selected a few from the choices at the start. It's okay, I'm not flipping over it. I usually know what I want to waste, I mean er spend time doing on the web and where to surf.
Anyhoo, I didn't look at Merlin extensively but I will check it regularly, (it's one of my feeds.)
Hope I've added those links properly.
Catcha later if anyone is reading this. NEXT... Chocolate????

Neon Bloom

I cheated!
I looked at my "go to" Gal's entries and followed her links. I found this image on Flickr color selector.
What I wanted to do was take one of my photos and manipulate it using these effects.
Can you do that?

This is a cool pic tho huh?

how do you do it?

I'm referring to adding a photo to your profile.. I wanted to add something cute and funny (not a pic of ME) so I chose a pic from FLICKR (tried) to copy the URL no luck. Then I saved as picture on my desktop and tried to copy & Paste-still nuthin?
Can anyone guide me here? I've got my Go TO GAL here tomorrow, maybe she can give me the little shove I need.

I had a body like ths...once

I prefer this to any of my pictures, so I will adopt her as my alter ego.

This is the pic I tried to put on my profile. Got stuck on the part of HELP that said "switch the photo to a HTML post if it isn't already" Don't see where to do that. I'm not a happy blogger right now!

B B L & H steps to Edin Castle

watched the movie "Greyfriar's Bobby" (disney version) and saw these steps as part of the 1858 setting.
The story of Greyfriar's Bobby is a true account of a little Skye Terrier who was loyal to the end, and who changed the old town of Edinburgh for the better.
Here is a link to learn more about "Bobby"

this is supposed to be a link hope it works!

All the best to Mary-Lee

Just want to wish our branch manager well as she recovers from recent surgery Get well soon!

something technology!

For my birthday this year (40 sumthin;), I received an ipod nano. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I have downloaded songs that I enjoyed as a teenager, songs from the BIG HAIR 80s, cool stuff from the 90s that I used to like on the old WHFS station, and newer songs. I simply LOVE IT! (this is about as technical as I get) I have no idea how it works, but it's a marvel to me, and it is also very useful for learning songs and creating set lists for our band. Hubby jacked it to our PA and wow-it sounded awesome. I tell ya- the Bay City Rollers never sounded so good! LOL!-did I mention I LOVE IT?! "shang-a-lang" baby.


OK here is the end of week 3-where's the darn cadbury's chocolate!

He is still recovering from surgery. I have pics of Ace in MY PHOTOS (Flickr account)
under the DOGS tag.
