BLOGGER - Knowledge Base - What is Atom?

BLOGGER - Knowledge Base - What is Atom?

Just when you thought you knew what ATOM was.....
How many BLOGS or WEB LOGS do you TRY to keep up with? If it is more than two then you NEED to get with the program and install a Newsfeed reader or RSS Reader so that you can SUBSCRIBE to all of your favorite BLOGS. When you have the urge to read or catch up on your favorite drivel spots all you do is fire up the program and have it refresh the newly syndicated BLOGS. Then you just go to the BLOG that shows a change. I use BLOG EXPRESS and it is VERY easy to install and use. Just a thought folks..... Ok, back to ATOM, enjoy this article....

What does our doublewide look like?


I WAS going to share BEFORE and AFTER pictures of the "cleaning" experience BUT someone "family" had 51 images sitting on the digital camera and it was OUT of memory to add more. #$%^%$&*(*&^%$. Somehow, I am the ONLY person in this family that knows HOW to remove the pictures off the camera and export them to the main computer....



ANYWAY, I did my thing today and transferred the older pictures off the camera and made room for the new ones. The following pictures are the AFTER pictures of a clean doublewide trailer. Wahooooo

I know, I need to take the mattress and bed fram leaning up against the porch to the county dump.... I will do it soon!!!



CLEAN trailer......

Close Up of clean trailer.....

You know you must be a redneck if you see this at the end of your street...

Go up the hill, go around old oak tree and land on pavement to find civilization

Riddle me this batgirl.....

I posted this in our Happy Days and Special Times Yahoo group just now and thought I would share it....


Dont tell anyone BUT I am cooking my own breakfast. I can not remember the last time I attempted this. It is funny but I watched the cat "sparkles" sneak up on the pan that had the Jimmy Deans MILD sausage sitting waiting to be cooked. She did not seem to have a taste for raw sausage. haahahahahaha

Who is smarter, man or cat? I can hear the laughter now.... I captured aforementioned feline and tossed her outside. Little did I know she made a bee line for the open window by the STOVE. Guess who pops in for ANOTHER visit for the biscuits? Guess who got whopped upside the noggin and recaptured? Yes, sparkles was seeing stars and landed on the front porch and I made a bee line for the second window asap....

It is AMAZING what you will eat when you are hungry.... Yes, I am eating my own cooking. I hope I survive.... Hey ladies. Riddle me this.... I guess I should have said, Riddle me this batgirls....

Why does Katy leave broken egg shells IN the carton with the rest of the GOOD eggs? Why is it when I banged the egg on the stove this morning it did not break at first? Stubborn Egg or just Food Lion eggs are tougher than the typical egg? Are they feeding the chickens too much iron or what?

Dont tell Katy but I got her the most favorite thing in the whole wide world. If you were to seperate her from this one drink she would have to be admitted to the psyche ward at MUSC.. 1 Point for James! Yeah.... Good thing I dont have to buy diamonds or provide an endless supply of cash to make this woman happy... Well, sometimes she does want software for the computer....

Question. How many of you power washed your trailer in the FREEZING Cold yesterday? Raise your hand so I can get a head count.....
You dont live in a trailer? You are not stupid enough to go out in the freezing cold to power wash your trailer? Well, I guess I was the only one to do this. Our trailer was transformed from something that looked like it came out of a Boggy Creek Monster Movie to a sparkling light grey double wide. It only took me 2.5 hours and two layers of clothing to finish the front. Luckily for me I had 4 layers of clothes on and two sets of gloves. I looked like the Coca Cola bear all dressed up for the Artic.

It must have been quite a spectacle actually. The next door neighbor's children kept making trips out to watch me commit this total act of lunacy. They problem went home and told their mother that my mother never taught me to stay in out of the freezing cold and not play with water.

Yesterday was my first day off in about two weeks. I was faced with two options. Stay in the house and be depressed about junk in my life or just forget about it and go do something. I voted to ditch the depression mode and just go do something that I could actually accomplish. Have you ever been there? Well I was there yesterday and even though I looked silly and froze my proverbial tail off I atleast did something productive and have something to show for it.

No, I am not finishing the POWER WASH the trailer task today. I get to work 3 to 11pm tonight in the freezing cold as I baby sit the parking garage down at the County Office Buildings for Charleston County on Meeting street. No, I do not have to stay in the cold. I actually only spend 30 min per hour out in the parking garage. PTL for that. Can you imagine finding someone in a stairwell curled up asleep because that is the warmest place you can find to sleep? Just when I thought my life had pathetic moments.

Ok, what are YOU doing right now and why have you NOT been posting in here? I know, you are busy. All of us are busy. We also need each other. Share your wacky stories with us so we can LAUGH... God, KNOWS we all need to laugh.... There are too many horrible things going on for us to CRY about. If you are happy tell us. If you are DEPRESSED, for goodness sake , share it with us so we can all be depressed TOGETHER. AFter all misery LOVES company. Just promise me you wont stay that way for long. That really sucks. Ok, are you having a PITY party? Are your children driving you crazy? Are they eating you out of house and home and feeding the neighborhood children the REST of what is left in the pantry?

Hope to hear from you soon.... Yeah that is YOU....

Love ya Katy, Kristina, Justin, Jeremy and Jessica... Yes, I love YOU tooo.....

Hugs

Winter is upon us

Actually winter has been upon us for atleast 30 days if not longer. Temperatures have gotten down to 26 degrees thus far and last night they were forcasting feezing rain and sleet. Luckily for us the ground temperatures were at 44 degrees so the rain we got did not stick and freeze. Schools out in Orangeburg County close as well as technical colleges but Charleston County, Berkeley County and Dorchester County schools are open for business as usual. I cant tell you how disappointed the rug rats were this morning when we opened the door and pointed the way to the school bus.

I had a day off yesterday for the first time in two weeks. Wahooooo! I was bummed out a bit about stuff and so I decided I would not spend my day depressed in the cold. I still spent the day in cold temperatures but since I had already borrowed the commercial pressure washer from a friend of mine I bundled up into four layers of clothing and washed the green slime off of our trailer. I managed to get 2 layers of the clothing soaking wet and after 2.5 hours of FUN the trailer turned from green to light grey again. It really looks so much nicer clean. LOL....

I finished washing the trailer on the front side and no sooner had I put everything up and changed clothes did it start to sprinkle. I was surprised by UPS arriving with a package for me. Inside I found two packages of French Vanilla coffee. Yum Yum... What a treat that was. Then the rain REALLY started coming down. Yuk and double Yuk....
The second WONDERFUL event yesterday that helped to beat off depression is that two of my FRIENDS worked out a deal where I could get a Compaq Ipaq Pocket PC with tons of accessories to go with it for the incredible price of 120.00. I would imagine that with all of the goodies and the Pocket PC that I would have had to pay around 350.00 to 400.00 for everything. Thanks to my friends I will have this newest TOY in the next day or two and I did not have to pay for it. Wahoooooo. What the heck IS a Pocket PC you might ask? A pocket PC has an operating system just like your computer does and even though it is no where near as powerful as the computer I am typing on it does have the ability to run Pocket PC versions of Microsoft Office applications which means you can put some of your more important Microsoft Word , Excel, powerpoint documents on your Pocket PC and view them. You can also read Microsoft Reader Ebooks, view jpg images etc. There is a ton of stuff you can do with the device such as synchronize your MS Outlook contacts and email. My friend Patty uses a Sony Clie PDA which enables here to carry PDR type information on it for quick reference at the hospital.

Bowling. Gosh, I did not do that well last night. I bowled a 130 average over all which means I did ok since my over all league average is 130. Maggie came out with an attitude last night after several weeks of doing badly and bowled an average of around a 155. We wound up losing 3 and winning one which was not too cool since we recently wound up in 3rd place out of 22 teams. We were 8 games out of 1st place so we have a LOT of work to do to catch up to them. The league does not end until April so we have plenty of time to catch up. I am sure after last nights performance we probably dropped a spot or two.

Runt Ro- I have my childrens heros confused

I am glad that my sweet wife helped me to see the error of my ways when she wrote me an email and told me Mr. Rogers died last year and Captain Kangaroo is the gentleman who died and was 76 years old just this week. OOOPSSS. I feel like a baby boomer for sure...... Thanks honey for the quick save with my writing. Writing is always 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. Luckily for me I have a couple of folks who have a sharp eye and a keen sense of dates and who is who that can keep my brain on the right track.
