Blogging Note to Self Thoughts

[Note2Self] – Voice Recognition + Kids

[Note2Self] – Voice Recognition + Kids
Remember to turn off voice recognition when yelling at the kids…

[Note2Self] – Follow-up
The voice recognition does not understand the synonym for copulation…
Just says, “please try again”…
I already have two kids…

Blog Crashed… Again!

To say that I am upset, would be an understatement…

I was trying to publish something for my Facebook group “Chester County (PA) Photography“…

Wanted to add a New series of Categories using the DNN Blogger module, and bang…

No more Blog!

I was able to recover most of my Blog Posts, and now, slowly converting them by hand over to WordPress.

It is going to take some time, but I have far more confidence in WordPress, than I do with the DNN Blog module.

November 15th 2010 was the last time frame when this happened…

and I was doing the same thing…

What is the old idiom…

‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me’…

So, at the moment, I am recovering my DNN Blog entries, and moving them to WordPress…

I’ve had enough…

Pardon me for my Blogs brevity in the mean time…

Thanks in advance,

PhotoShare-MakeOver Projects Announced!

During several e-conversation with John Griggs, we came up with the idea of the “PhotoShare-MakeOver” Project(s) for the CCPP (“Chester County (PA) Photography“) group!

The concept is simple.

  • A common file is made available to everyone interested;
  • People download the file;
  • People “play” with the file in their UNIQUE way;
  • Repost to Group;

From there, hopefully, open and honest comments can be made.

Hopefully Everyone is going to have fun and learn something!

Blogging How to(s)? Ideas Information Nature Reference

Cold Weather and our Outside Neighbors

When I got back home after dropping of Logan at daycare, I looked out on to our deck, and I saw “Sarah”, our red/orange tingled squirrel that the kids name a couple of years ago.

Not sure why “she” has that coloring, especially considering all the other gray squirrels, but it does make “her” easier to identify, plus “she” is a little bit smaller than the rest of the “gang” that inhabits our backyard which filled with Black Walnut trees.

Seeing her today, reminded me of my chores for our outside friends at this time of year, and hence the reason for this blog post.

Here is a list of some simple things to help out our furry outside neighbors:

  • Fresh Water – At this time of the year, unless you are near running water, the birds and squirrels that are still running and flying around still need water. So please take a moment and fill a container with water so they have something to drink.You will have to change it in the morning, but it is a great way to get kids thinking about nature.
  • Bread Crusts – Madison does not like the crust on her bread (yet), so we have a little container next to the cutting board to collect the what is cut off, and those scraps are then later put on the deck.
  • Pop-Tart Edges – Don’t know why, but the kids do not like them either, but the squirrels do!I have not figured out what their favorite flavor is, but I have watched one of our squirrels trying to get a long piece through the railing on the porch. Very entertaining! (Think of a dog with a long stick, trying to get through a fence door…)
  • Stale Snacks – These can take on many forms, cereal, pretzels, cheese balls, cheese curls, pop corn, french fries, you name it! You may not like it, but our furry friends do not seem to care, especially the crows! (Ever notice what the crows eat on “Trash Day”?)”Crow Salad“/”Critter Granola” – Trying mixing a bunch of items together! It my look gross to you, but trust me, our friends will not care!
  • Kitty TV – This is more for our indoor animals, but our two cats. Jessica and Joy, love to sit/lay on the couch and watch their outdoor friends as they eat!

These are just a few thoughts and suggestions, and I hope I will hear some more from my readers!
