Next Blog

Often when I have little to do and I am not checking on my Sims, I hit next blog. Over and over "next blog". Here is what I find. There are many blogs out there in other languages, that is so cool. I remember coming across one months ago that was in, I think, Japanese. The song she had on there was so beautiful. I commented on her blog and said I couldn't read it or understand the words of the song, but it was beautiful. She actually e-mailed me back.

Some people put music on their blogs. Usually I can't hear it because they use Windows Media Player. As I am using a far superior Macintosh, I am probably saved from listening to something I don't like anyway. (although frankly I have no idea, I might be missing something I love). Don't even get me started on those cell phones that you have to hear someone else's idea of music instead of a ring. Bring back the ring, please!

Sometimes you come across some not so nice sites, that's right, porn! Isn't anything safe? I am looking for someone out there whose blog might peek my interest and whamo, boobs! Now, my computer is sitting on the counter that separates the kitchen and the dining room. Since I do have four children, it is guaranteed that someone is walking by at some point at any time. That is nothing I want them to see. Can't these people confine these sites to sites you would expect to see something like that?

Also, people like to put pictures up. I put pictures up. I like looking at other people's photos (just not the above mentioned). More people are using Slide. The thing is, they will usually put quite a few of these on the current blog page. This causes the page to take a while to load. So while I might want to view the photos, I don't want to sit her waiting for them to load. Unless of course it is one of my regularly viewed blog pages.

There are my insights of "Next blog". You can now empty your mind of anything you read here as it is not worth keeping. Well, except for bringing back the ring!

Ouch with the SUPERIOR Mac comment:)
I am very curious about the mac but have idea about them. If they are so good then how come they aren't more popular. I mean, what's the downside?

I think the biggest reason is probably because they cost more. You can get a pc desktop for a few hundred dollars but you are paying about 1200 for a mac. The difference is it comes ready to go. You don't need to add anything, you don't need to upgrade or get a new one in a couple of years. They are just different. The mac is easier to use. Graphics are better and they NEVER break down. My mac never crashes. Again, it costs more. There are a few less games but the one's you want look and run better on a mac anyway. If you are into computers, like IT or MIS, you will use a pc. They do different things. Macs are usually used by more creative people (I am NOT creative). Need anymore info. Do not EVEN get my husband started! ha ha

I have read your blog for awhile and never understood the Mac thing. A few months ago we bought one and I am now hooked. I really like that it is very user friendly and easy to use. I understand now.

I never knew what the next button was used for but I might give it a whirl.

Go Julie, fellow mac user, give the next blog button a whirl. You will be hooked!

Hey party pooper! My friends LOVE my song that is my ring and usually get mad when I answer when they're tryin to sing! Sheesh, oscar the grouch.

At least THAT is what they tell you. Besides, I imagaine knowing you as I do, your ring is not the "type" of ring I was referring too. Your song is probably more along the lines of regular music. Those, not so bad. One of my cousins has Tom Jones, I can tolerate that!
