We are all human!" <BR/><BR/>I always write my posts in Word before transfering them to the blog. That way at least I know there are no spelling errors. Then I have to let it go. I figure I won't run into anyone who thinks I am an idiot on my blog because no one knows what I look like... maybe you have to get rid of the picture of you!<BR/><BR/>As far as the scissors in the sink: I use a stapler to hem my skirts when they rip.

Merci for sharing, Paris Parfait and May! Your blogs were the first two I became addicted to. I still visit daily--and you people out in blogland should too! <BR/><BR/>And Susan, good idea. I'll have to think about doing that. I need to figure out how to get my computer to notify me--I want a ding too! (By the way folks, you should check out Susan's blog too. It's great! Watch the video--so joyful!)<BR/><BR/>Lizr and Bobbi, thanks! It's great to hear your thoughts. Ah, new friends. I should have started blogging months ago!<BR/><BR/>Any other ideas out there?Rebecca Ramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14851717214205302476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-43325706311889066172008-04-22T16:49:00.000-04:002008-04-22T16:49:00.000-04:00Hi!

It reminded me of the time when our daughter broke the knob (remember those?) off the old tv set and we couldn't buy a new one so we just attached a pliers to it and it was really pedestrian, but it worked.<BR/>Ah yes, those home remedies! They may seem soooo silly, but, folks, if we are still functional, that's what it's sometimes about, and I have to admit, I felt proud of my conquering solutions, even if ragtag until I could afford the time or money to replace/repair right.<BR/>Oh, oh, run on sentence-ing here. Should I go back and repair?<BR/>Well, this is a conversation, blogging, so I, personally, am less apt to write it like a query letter (don't get me started).<BR/>I guess, for me, two things:<BR/>1) I stay away from writing on, contributing to critical blogs<BR/>as they hurt my feelings<BR/>2)I sometimes don't do this, but when I catch myself being distracted too much on the internet, I tell myself I can only plug in for 1-1/2 hour tops, in 30 minute increments (for correspondence and communication purposes) daily for awhile and Nada on weekends. (Hard during winters in the north.) When that fails, I go away for a month and only do business on line once a week in a cafe. (Much more fun solution, but not always practical.) :-D<BR/>-BobbiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-16751482398699657772008-04-22T15:41:00.000-04:002008-04-22T15:41:00.000-04:00I added a link to your blog on ours.

What I try to do is write a post, save it, and then do something else that is not cerebral...like my floors.<BR/><BR/>Then I come back, edit it a few more times, and publish it to the world--warts and all. In fact, I usually don't read it ever again just to avoid the temptation to edit it.<BR/><BR/>I love the scissors in the sink and Tanner!

I had to set the Blogger on "must approve comments" in order to keep myself from checking for comments all day. Now it sends me an email with each new comment in it--ding! I mean it--my email in-box really does go *ding.* That helps a lot.Susan Sandmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07164808807596808866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6272729178612778511.post-58876508115022282342008-04-22T13:19:00.000-04:002008-04-22T13:19:00.000-04:00So glad you emailed me, as I didn't know you'd sta...So glad you emailed me, as I didn't know you'd started a blog. Hooray! I tend to obsess over political pieces that I know may upset people and have been known to edit those several times and add things to a developing story. But eventually you have to just stop writing. Say what you want to say, then STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER! Turn it off, if necessary. Go out for a walk. Do something else that requires being out of the same room as the computer. And don't take criticism personally. Everybody has their own "stuff" that they let upset them - but it has nothing to do with you! So if somebody writes something less than complimentary, in response to something you've written, just consider the source. And keep writing! Am adding you to my links on my About page.

I recently realized that one of my problems is that there are so many things I have to do every day, I tend to do each thing until it's just good enough. <BR/><BR/>And then I go edit my stories, because they're never good enough :D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
