I’m back! (Again.)
Bookworm on Aug 23 2010 at 9:50 pm | Filed under: Uncategorized
Before I say anything else, I have to say just one thing to Don Quixote for the incredible posts he did at this blog while I was away: THANK YOU!!! I didn’t just leave the blog in good hands; I left it in the best hands. Now I’m back, though, and all of my blog visitors will have to suffer through my fulminations and ruminations once again. Sorry….
I actually won’t start blogging tonight. We got home only a couple of hours ago, and I’m quite busy unpacking, doing laundry, chivvying the kids along, and just basically working through the fatigue of a long day. Over the next few days, however, I plan to blog about cruising, Alaska, climate change, crazy people (yes, we saw a couple), and all sorts of other stuff that piqued my interest during the last two and a half weeks. If I beg nicely enough, I might also have some materials from a very special guest contributor, but I’m not holding my breath. I’ll also ruminate on politics as usual, although I’m sadly late to the party of “Obama’s Worst Week Evah!”
Lastly, I have almost 300 blogging related emails to go through, and expect to find some exciting material in there, some of which will still be current enough to pass onto to you. So, time allowing, this should be a busy place over the next few days. Yay!

Re: email boxes and cleaning out…
I was very surprised this week-end when I was able to teach a friend a new trick – he is much more technologically qualified than I am, but as he was going through his email account, I asked him why he didn’t use the search function. What? quoth he. The search function. What are you talking about? he didn’t _see_ a search function. Well, yes…right there … and I pointed it out to him. Yeah, so???? So…put in xxxx (whatever spammer appears to be highest on your list), and search. Ok…done. New page, full of xxxxx emails. One click at the top, then delete, or move to spam, trash, wherever. Done. On to the next.
Ok…Not a trick worth billions, but if you can delete 20 or 25 at a time, pretty soon they’re all gone!
I felt _so_ smug…the old lady teaching the young whippersnapper a new computer trick!!

A family friend came back from an Alaska cruise. His opening remark: “Juneau where we’ve been? Alaska ‘nother one.”
Anyone need a moving couple of minutes, a good cry … watch it.
