Yes, it's easy to keep up with you and I kind of prefer lighter posting. J. Kaye is a perfect example of heavy posters. I love her to death, but I cannot freaking keep up with her, so I've discovered that her posts are usually the first to go. If I'm trying to catch up, I go to the heavy bloggers and empty their files first, just to ease my mind. For that reason, I try not to post too much, myself. I don't want to make anyone lose their mind. But, I often have a list of things I want to post about.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-3793968721192513182009-10-15T17:44:10.882-05:002009-10-15T17:44:10.882-05:00With 45 comments, no wonder you're lost!

LOL I hope it doesn't. I really can't imagine that it would clear out other feeds, though. That would be too awful for words. When I was signing up, I must admit I felt a little like a blind person running my hands against a moss-coated wall whilst sliding around on ice, if you know what I mean.

Somewhere, SuziQ has given me some information about tabs but I'm going to have to dig for it when I'm ready to take the time (probably not this week, since Kiddo's home and we have Things To Do). Wordpress isn't as easy for photo loading; that's why I've stuck with blogger. I did set up a test blog to see if WP has improved in the last three years and it has, but it's just not as intuitive, IMHO.<br /><br />Kiddo is a pretty terrific guy, if you ask me. Of course, I'm totally biased. Yeah, I think he's starting to get excited about looking ahead to college. I'm thinking I may spend that first year trying to tag along to wonderful places with my husband. I've been waiting my turn for eons. Then, maybe I'll settle down and get a job or go back to school. Who knows. I'm trying to look at the empty nest as an open door, although I do know I'm going to miss Kiddo like crazy. He's just a really great guy to hang out with; we have a good rapport.<br /><br />This has been a banner day for kitty! I'm so pleased to see her energy level picking up!! She's just back from a visit to her bowls. Ewww, tuna breath! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-27716728349492138782009-10-12T18:58:11.760-05:002009-10-12T18:58:11.760-05:00I don't really remember how to do the feedburn...I don't really remember how to do the feedburner thing Nancy :p Just go to feedburner.com and it should explain it to you. I don't remember it being too hard. But it gives you much more reliable stats!! I like it! I use statcounter like you for my more specific stats and I find that's a pretty good site for those types of stats. As for tabs, I can't help you there...I only know how to use tabs for wordpress...I'm a total dummy when it comes to blogger! That's the reason why I switched to Wordpress..I find it to be much more user friendly.<br /><br />Great news about kiddo. Glad to hear his spirits are up despite everything. And it's great to hear that he's going to take a look at MSU!! He must be excited!! I know it's gotta be rough on you knowing you're going to have an empty nest soon. You'll just have to pick up a new hobby ;) Maybe volunteer at his school as the school photographer! You'd get to be around the kids still.<br /><br />Hope that the kitty stays on the mend, Nancy!! Glad to hear she's hopping around.

It's so nice that he has a great attitude; he could have been whiny and unhappy but he's chosen to just be happy that he got to swim at all during his senior year and is enjoying hanging out with his friends for the last couple of weeks, chatting with the coach, etc. I think he deserves a coolness award. LOL<br /><br />Spooky is really getting visibly better, as far as coping with balance and perkiness level. Such a relief. Maybe we'll get lucky and the eye will improve after a couple weeks of antibiotics. If not, I'm happy.

Getting spat upon is almost funny. She gets annoyed with me, stomps off, shakes herself and then comes right back because she's so sociable she can't stand the idea of staying away! LOL <br /><br />Laura,<br /><br />Minneapolis!! Cool! Literally. ;) Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-11032314320028831582009-10-12T16:35:39.606-05:002009-10-12T16:35:39.606-05:00Chris,

I'm feeling like such a tech moron, lately. I want to add tabs to the top of my blog, but I haven't found the time to read up on them.<br /><br />Kiddo is really quite happy with his decision to forego the rest of the swim season. You would love his attitude. We had kind of a family pow-wow and I asked him what he expected out of this swim season. He said he'd hoped that the pain would stay manageable through the state swim meet (we're missing the state meet in Biloxi, but he's going to go to MSU for a visit that Monday, so the timing worked out well). Since he was doubled over in pain at last week's meet, he said it was just time. The coach was great about it -- actually spent some time talking to him to make sure he understood that it was okay not to worry about points if he wanted to continue and to tell Kiddo he's been an excellent influence on his teammates, that he's the "most mature" swimmer on the team and how much he's appreciated him. Isn't that cool??<br /><br />He's unsure about running but happily went along with buying the new running shoes (everyone loves new shoes!!). LOL Thanks for that comment about how close we are. I love it that I have a son who is willing to talk to me about absolutely *anything*. I'm going to miss him something awful when he goes off to college!!! But, I definitely will know I didn't shortchange him on my time and attention. <br /><br />Oh, good, I'm glad you added Crossing Myself to your wish list. I think you'll enjoy it because the author is so down-to-earth, because he talks frankly about his depression and anger, and because he's very open about the good and bad of Christianity and how he ended up going from church-raised to agnostic to seminary. Also, he talks about writing and how we write from our own world view, which is a great chapter for any writer.<br /><br />Cats are so feisty when it comes to medicine! Thanks. That's one of my favorite photos because it shows off her beautiful eyes (one of which is totally black, now -- I'm not holding out much hope, since that internal bleed isn't draining off, but you never know). She's showing improvement daily. At first, she stumbled and couldn't jump without incident. Now she's jumping all the time -- I woke up with a cat on my feet -- and she begged for a head rub, this morning. She had an IV at the kitty hospital, so there's a little shaved place on her bib, and the vet said she'll need to stay on some strong antibiotics for at least 4 weeks, but since she's acting so much more herself, I'm feeling very positive that she's going to be okay -- maybe one-eyed, but that's no biggie. She's compensating very, very well.<br /><br />Is this the longest note you've ever seen, or what? I'd better shush. Thanks for your lengthy note, Chris.

I'm an old faithful and I'm here all the time :) Though I understand your frustrations! You probably have a lot more subscribers than you think! My google reader says I have 46 subscribers, but I joined Feedburner which takes all of the feedreaders into account and learned I actually have 203 subscribers! But like you, I do this mostly for myself. Though it can be frustrating when no one reads :(<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the kiddo's shoulder. That's really sad :( Though it's good to hear that the two of y'all will get to run together!! I love seeing the two of y'all so close. Don't know if I've told you that before, but it's rare to see a mom and teen so close these days and that just makes me smile :) <br /><br />Crossing Myself is totally NOT my normal kind of book. I'm normally not into spiritual memoirs, but darnitt if it's not the second one that you've added onto my wishlist Nancy! I got 90 Minutes in Heaven because of you and I think I'm going to want to read this one too. It sounds oh so good! <br /><br />And look at sweet little Miss Spooky :) (I sort of went backwards commenting here ;) I love that picture of her. I'm glad to hear that she's on the mend even if she is giving you a fight with the medicine!! Hope she keeps getting better and better!chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-81989287613560016212009-10-11T22:11:08.610-05:002009-10-11T22:11:08.610-05:00Lisa,

It is very, very hard paring down the reader. I do it now and then but I only part with blogs that have owners who never bother to reply to comments. The conversation is a large part of the fun of blogging. <br /><br />The stats -- I don't know why we worry about them, really. I used to and now I just try not to think about them at all. Obviously, I failed at that, last night! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-81255537176898263302009-10-11T22:04:31.860-05:002009-10-11T22:04:31.860-05:00Kathy,

Thanks for making an appearance. It's nice just knowing who is out there!<br /><br />I'm not really big on numbers and awards, either. In fact, I wish BBAW didn't involve any awards because I know at least a few people who had hurt feelings over not being nominated for anything. <br /><br />Allison,<br /><br />I think we could stand to learn a lesson from our pets. I'm amazed at how quickly my cat went from stumbling to jumping. It never occurred to her that she shouldn't keep trying!<br /><br />Thank you! My kitty is such a sweetie and such a pretty beast. She's my first black and white. If they all have such nice personalities, I'm sticking with black and white!<br /><br />Softdrink,<br /><br />Yeah, I'm bad about commenting at your blog, too. It seems we all could stand a few more hours in our day.<br /><br />You might need to weed a bit! I've got quite a few blogs in my reader and every now and then I do weed out a few that I'd refer to as "non-responsive" blogs -- where the bloggers don't bother to reply at all. Obviously, I'm a bit of a chatterbox and like to converse. LOLBookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.com
