…is equal to the love you take

My favourite Post Secret each week tends to be one of the ones that tickles my funny bone.
This week it was not one of the funny ones.
The postcard to Frank that grabbed me most this week was one that hit dead-center home. (Read at left.)
Many years ago I fell in love with a man who [...]

All day today, I’ve had a nagging feeling that there was some “occasion” this month of May that I was forgetting. I did a mental check and Mother’s Day popped into my mind. I scratched that. I remembered that May 10 was the anniversary of my first marriage (it was also Mother’s Day that year) [...]

My favourite
Post Secret postcard this week~ Special “purge your bad-Mom,”/ bad karma edition.
Warning: Post Secret can be angsty; this week it’s extra angsty.
There were a number of really interesting and provocative cards just in time for Mother’s Day-(every year–pub. on Sundays)!
In this postcard, I especially like the sentiment expressed as, “How much time does forgiveness [...]

 
Just checked my gmail–there are 200 emails I need to attend to. Probably 20 I can delete right away–the rest are real.
I’m really happy that I sent out the virtual Mother’s Day cards as some of the recipients were really touched. I tried to pick the themes that best suited each woman, then wrote a [...]

 
…was excellent. I got Godiva chocolates from eldest son, roses and a romantic card from spouse, and from younger son a very funny card and various candles of many scents. All of us went out for dinner together–a rare occurrence and then the best part–what I’m calling”dessert,” we saw Iron Man. We all dug the [...]

I usually write about LOST stuff over here (another site of mine) but I just came across two stories as I was catching up on my pop culture and celeb news. Both used the same source– and they that say Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are back together. This comes on the heels on them [...]

(Photo) The late Steve Fossett after one of his world-recording freaking/making achievements.
Angelina seems to favor the Air and Space Museum as a “with little boys” destinaton in D.C. It is right downtown not far from her official duties, too. It’s really fun there and very educational. I always go back when I have a chance. [...]

Sometime in the wee hours of this morning Google crawled this website manually I believe, and removed it’s Google PageRank of “3″ and dropped it to ZERO.
Since I’ve read of thousands of bloggers that this has happened to–and it happened to me as well on another blog of mine back in November, 2007, I don’t [...]

Some folks I know do blogging for pay.
I sometimes do, too.
At best, it’s very part time earnings which I’m allowed to make though I receive a small disability check due to early onset heart failure.
After several years went by and I improved from a very sad state to a state of “maintenance,” I wanted to [...]

Oh my goodness, I just about had a panic attack just now.
I’ve been installing things, mostly “widgets” on two WordPress blogs all day, tweaking things.
And then I started getting a Google pop-up about a navigational key that I needed to procure from the GOOG themselves. Out of curiosity I went to see if I could [...]

 
I couldn’t get what I needed for The Love You Make with the free host I was using so I moved from WordPress.COM to Wordpress (the proper name is WordPressMU(sp) or the like (I may have it backwards) but no one seems to want to call it that) this and my maplelakeontario site which I lost completelyin order [...]

I imagine most of you are too busy to have noticed my absence the last few days.
It really comes down to the fact that I’m stubborn as hell and won’t give up on something I want ‘till I’m thoroughly exhausted or every option known to humankind is.
The “something” to which I refer is switching my [...]

I’m  having a bugger of a time.
I want to add social booking marking widgets or better, an-all-in-one widget to my WordPress and I’ve looked and looked and I’m still ultimately at square one. Boo.
I feel like an ass. I’ve known forever that glancing knowledge of CSS was going to get to be mandatory minimum but I happily let [...]

John Lennon ~ Murdered at 40 on December 8, 1980
This blog’s name, The Love You Make is from a Beatles song–The End, last line– though it seems to my dismay, that it was a McCartney song w/little input from Lennon. I’d chosen it about 7-8 years ago too with “theloveumakeatmycableprovider.net” for my email addy (now [...]

Hey! It worked. I am happy, happy, happy!
I know I’m a bit behind the learning curve but I’m also not trained in any of this and just cobbling together what I can from where I can.
Though I’ve found some excellent resources, I’ve found way more bullshite than I could ever not wish for.
Honestly, it’s gets [...]
