I Changed My Comment Provider
Or, I should say, the service that allows anyone to make comments. Rather than use Haloscan, which is very nice, I'm using Blogger's internal commenter thing. I realize that, to most people, my blog is just a webpage, but to me, it's always an interface with blogger. I rarely go to my own page, except to use the list of links to blogs over on the right. Blogroller is handling that for me, and keeping my template, which I never understood completely, a little less cluttered.
And I added a Links thing
Now, I actually have three different blogs at blogger, but only one is hosted at my bellsouth account (this one). The other two are at blogspot. They are Word I Had To Look Up and Links et al. I say "et al" because sometimes I plan on quoting stuff on it too. BTW, if any of my internet pals would like for me to make them a member on the Words blog so they could add words they looked up, just let me know. I'm always one to learn new words, or at least be momentarily exposed to them for novelty value.
Parents Came Over
It was the most interactive visit too. They brought chicken strips, cheesecake, and a used trifle. I picked up some bread from Publix, also potato salad and cole slaw. Alison opened and warmed up a can of baked beans. When I tasted the potato salad, it tasted wrong. Like barfy wrong. So I only ate chicken, bread, and cheesecake. No one at Alison's sad little beans but her.
[Note to Alison: My family doesn't really eat baked beans. Not a baked bean eating family.]
Dad, Nina, and I went on a micro-walk. And generally mom and dad interacted with Nina and us until around 8:10 or so. Then, when they left, Nina pretty much dove into bed and, according to Alison, slept fretfully all night. I think that tooth that is coming in is still coming in, despite it looking like it's already in.
U.S. Mulch
Back when Alison worked for the League of Extraordinary Business Stooges, she told me that the company that took over the land where a garden center used to be, U.S. Mulch was actually named after the Owner of it. His name was Ulysses S. Mulch, but everyone just assumed the US means United States. "Really," I said. No, she was just joking with me. Hmm.
