Ripping!

16 July 2006 by kristarella

Hochkay, so. I changed my anti-spam thing from the numbers on the image to adding stuff up. I’m sorry if your failed primary school maths, I don’t want to discriminate against you, I’m just tired of getting spam. BTW this site, about the effectiveness of anti-spam rendering things against software, is interesting.

I also have a new renter! It’s Beth from Rambling’s of an Undisturbed Mind. I picked her because I liked reading her latest post. It was so simple and personal. She also has just redone her template and I thought it was worth a squizz.

The other bidders were:
The Life of a Neurotic Mom – hilarious story about baby poo on the wall!
Long, Slow, Beautiful Dance – I love this blog and nearly picked it without looking at the others but decided to give them all a fair hearing. I hope you bid again Lacy!
But Wait, There’s More – Dwayne seems to have some self-esteem issues, maybe you could visit him and perk him up. He could use some tips on the big, bad, world of Blog Explosion that he’s just entered!

This site is awesome! You need to get to the next page by typing the address for it in the address bar according to the clue on the previous page. If you get there and can’t figure it out, let me know and I’ll give more detail. Not that I’m an expert, it goes from very easy to pretty difficult quickly.

Ever wondered what bingo calls are? There’s a whole set of them right here. My friend (who is 20) calls bingo, she’s such a funny girl. I like “Legs eleven”, “Two fat ladies 88”, “32 buckle my shoe”, ahhh – there’s so many cool ones.

Ugh, I felt like such a jerk last night. We were playing 500, the card game and I was playing “with” hubby, Erns on the other team went Open Misere. I had nothing to make him win a trick (usually you want to win but you bid misere when you have bad cards an think you can lose everything, by losing you win). I forgot that maybe hubby did and I could get him to lead but he kept saying “forget about what I might have” and then kept cringing when I put a card out. I got upset and threw my cards down, said I hated him and cried (a little); because he was making me feel like it was my sole responsibility that we were about to lose badly. I won’t apologise for being me and not being a genius 500 player but I do need to control my emotions a bit better.

Today was cool, we went to yum cha! Then we watched heaps of JAG. I also spent a bit of time modifying the template that I made recently. I’ve changed the header so it has a girly with balloons instead of the blossoms.

    Thanks for the plug and the encouraging words. I like this theme better than the one you had this morning. I looked up the bingo calls. Some of them were cool but I didn’t get some of them like 2: one little duck. I didn’t get the clue website either. Thanks for brightening my day though.
