Dangers of Blogging

Based on the fact that I just started on this blog yesterday and have barely left it for one moment -- I left for a bathroom visit, and to eat (only one time), and a little bit of sleep -- I fear that I could be sucked up into my pc screen into the blog and cyberspace. Never, never to be seen or heard from again. I'm beginning to be quite afraid.

Plus, once I get some anti-virus software for my pc, I'm going to start up on the wonderful gift Melissa gave me -- a digital frame -- and then I'll never leave the pc.

OH, MY GOD!!!!! I'm so AFRAID!!!!!

  1. I know exactly what you mean! I Am In Danger. I've rapidly escalated from teaching myself to take cellphone photos at Christmas time, sending those photos from my cell phone to my email, then figuring how to get them into my Photo Manager program to crop or otherwise make look best possible because I am perfectionist, then organizing photos into Folders and then Folders within Folders to be Organized, then joining Facebook to keep up with my kids and find all my old friends who I lost touch with a couple of moves and 7-10 years or more back, then joining Classmates to find even more older friends even faster, then creating Photo Albums in both sites to share with all the new old friends who are turning up daily, even hourly (I did side-searches too with separate emailings), but as of this past 6 or 7 hours tonight, I sense I've taken the first steps down an irreversible path to losing my already tenuous grip on multiple responsibilities in the real world by insisting my daughter get me started at a Blog site... she got the start page up... I sat down and made a Sample Post, and then couldn't figure out how to even find my Blog again... but she had gone instantly to sleep! No backup assistance! So it has been struggle thru on my own into the wee hours, but I'm learning, repetition by variation by repetition. And I know I may never leave my chair again either except that my back is killing me and I'm losing ability to focus on my laptop screen. I have no idea how I found this Blog, oh, yes, I do, I trolled thru all however-many Blogspot bloggers located in Prescott AZ and yours caught my attention, and then grabbed me by the conchiness (I'm another female or that would have been another word)... You are weird and hysterical in a great way... Keep it up! but be sure to at least keep drinking clean water and peeing, even if you don't take time to eat. Sleep is highly over-rated... Besides, anyone who skips sleeping knows that sleep-deprivation is good for unleashing stream-of-conchi juices...

  2. Well, here I am again at 2nd pc (no, I haven't found a way yet to comment to myself from the same pc). Dawn, I am deliriously happy to see you've become my 3rd follower. YAY!!!! Read your profile -- we've gone through a lot of similar stuff (will blog about it at a later time). Your back hurts? Read my "New Year's Eve Preparations." So many similarities btwn us. I have a zillion folders and sub folders on my Outlook at work. The PC Techs don't believe it. Click on the "compose" upper tab on the new post and all your fonts, colors, and paragraph styles become available. I've yet to find out how to add a link to each post so people (that's assuming others are reading this stuff) don't have to scroll through my entire blog. The titles will just be visible, but possibly the beginning of each sentence. Also, how to have each title, within a lable, show up. I just found out yesterday that by filling out my profile entirely (well, almost entirely) you could connect with other kindred spirits (i.e. you just click on your likes and other blogs pop up. Duh!!! Who would know? Whoa!!! I somehow got into "preview" and I couldn't get out of it. I've learned by trial and error and losing a lot of typed stuff to "copy it all" from time to time.

    I promised myself I would do some work today (blogged all day long yesterday; mostly with my profile) but now I have to look at yours and become your follower. Don't know how to do that, but I'll figure it out. Bye!!!

  3. Just found a good help site for us: http://groups.google.com/group/blogger-help-howdoi/topics
    I just post my numerous questions and we'll see how soon I get the answers. Oh, referring back to your comment, DL. I get insomnia a lot -- I can't shut off my brain. Just this week (2 nites in a row) I woke up at 3am, 4:45am, didn't know what to do with myself and started drafting new posts. I have three drafts at this point. Have to tune them up before publishing. I just commented for a friend a moment ago. My friends comment to me via e-mail, not comments to my blog. HOI DA??? I have a great idea. If I could get a couple more laptops, I could arrange them around me in a full circle (need to buy more tables) and just swivel from one to the next and just comment continuously as different blog viewers. I'll have to quit my job and do this full-time. ????? Another thing I need to find out how to do is to edit my comments, once they're posted.
