Vacation Calls

I’m going to take a break from blogging for a week and a half, beginning tomorrow. I wished I knew a way to keep things going here in my absence, other than posting Wild Cards. But I don’t. I know you Berry Pickers don’t like my vacations. But it’s one of the perks that haven’t been affected by cutbacks. Frankly, if I didn’t have the break from online world, I don’t think I could do this for the 5-plus years that i have. If anyone has ideas re: how to get through my vacations — another should be coming in midsummer and the final one at the end of the year — please let me know. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to gardening and enjoying this beautiful part of the country for the next 10 days or so.

We do miss you when you aren’t here. My vacation is calling me in about four weeks. To the beach and no internet service for ten days!!!

DFO & Ryan: Would it be possible to have the “latest from our blogs” feed on the left rail move to the main section and be available for comment on HBO, rather than visiting those blogs? It may not be practical or technologically feasible, but at least it populate HBO with content.

Just an idea.

Enjoy your vacation.

You know, a reload is good for everybody. Have a good time and don’t worry about a thing.

BTW, I bet you are quite puzzled about my silence over this whole SPAM crisis. I’m silent because

I didn’t get any spam. not a byte.

don’t you think a lot of the spammed people got it off a toilet seat?

JBelle and I must lead very clean lives or extremely boring. No spam here either. Not a byte. Not a twitter. Not a tease. Not a nibble. Not a … . . NOTHING!!!!!

Are you sure you haven’t gotten even a twitter, Jeannie?

It’s how you operate each day. Just don’t let them in, simple. I’m with JBelle, we must be doing the same thing because I haven’t had even a single message I don’t want. Maybe someday we will meet, I hope so, though we have had our moments.
