Found a way to get rid of spam comments

Great way to delete comments that are unwanted...

Log in to your own blog account, view your blog, then go to the comments you don't want. A trash can will appear next to each comment, click on it to delete...

At least with blogspot.com

Also, in the comments section of settings, you can make it so that people have to type in those funky letters that prevent random computer spam... it's called word verification... or something like that...

hope Mel sees this if she doesn't already know!!!

Here to make a correction, figure I will add a pic, too...

Here's one more picture for tonight. Last post tonight too...

Finally found the time to update

Wow, it has been about six weeks since we have been in this house, and just last week we had our first animal problem.

Well, first, we forgot to put out the garbage last wednesday, so it was sitting there kind of piling up. Then, a bird got into it a little bit, and just poked some holes in a bag to get some scraps.

The next day, there was a dog, golden retriever type, running loose around the neighborhood, and it took Jarrod a few hours to get him locked in the back yard as municipal enforcement was on their way to come pick him up. The poor guy had a collar, but no tags, otherwise we would have called the owners. Well, in Jarrod's attempts, the dog ended up making the holes, which were tiny, into bigger ones. We just left it, as we had not had any problems before that, and assumed the good food was gone...

Then, Chris had to chase away a cat that also wanted a part of the feast the next morning, and then late last night, after making an "emergency" visit(*) to Nicole's, I came home and found this:



Here's a closer pic of him/her:



I drove up to see him in between our house and garage, with the gate closed, and digging through the trash. I called Chris to let him know, and he opened the front door for me. I took my sweet time getting into the house, as I had never dealt with a skunk before, only seen them from afar. We kept tabs on him for a while, and around 5, Chris went to bed. We had chased him away a couple of times, and then he would come back... little bugger would circle the house, and we would follow from inside, looking through all of the windows...

Finally, convinced he was gone, or at least not caring anymore if he wasn't, I went to bed. All of the excitement kept me up until about 6 a.m.

I awoke 8 hours later, got up, started to get dressed, noticed my eyes felt really puffy, looked in the mirror, saw this:

My left eye


And my left eye again





Notice my eye has some sort of liquid-filled bubble...

I called Chris (he has gone to 7/11) and told him to see this. He immediately told me we were going to the hospital.

I got dressed, did my hair a bit, got made fun of by Jarrod because I was doing my hair (real fancy- ponytail), Chris drove me to emerg, and the doctor walked in and said: "Whoa" when he saw my eyes.

He did a quick check, informed me that it was severe pink eye, in both eyes, DO NOT TOUCH! Gave me a prescription for some drops, went and paid for some drops, got Chris to start putting them in...

Now I just look like I haven't slept in a week, and during that week was exposed to all of my allergies, and went through a dust storm and insulated an entire basement without protective glasses- approximately.

My right eye is a little better, more white...

Gonna go, probably going to have a bath, or maybe watch a movie...

New stuff

Me.
A Pic I Took.

I was bored when I was playing around and got the pix of me.

Got lots more to show, lots more to tell...

No time to show and tell right now though, trying to get my memory card to read, I want to show a few more pix.

Hopefully it will work soon, so I can upload some pix, and explain last nights adventure...

Moi.
