Lying, What is it Really?

Growing up in a home where honesty was a fluid concept, as a born again Christian, I see the damaging results. Too often, lying is masked as...

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.



Here's an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,200 times in 2014. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.

New Theme

Well, I've changed the theme of the blog...again. I am not sure why I finally pressed 'save' on a new theme because what I was looking for was for the time of the posts to be shown. Usually, about 98% of the time, I post just after midnight, but sometimes I'll post a little sooner. This is why I'll have multiple post on the same day. I could go and fix it, but who has the time?! I really did like my last theme and it takes time to customize just the way I like it, but it's nice to have an ocean picture up again. I took this last year or the year prior, though some of it is blocked by the blog title. Seeing a sunrise over the ocean always reminds me Who is in control. This is just one reason I'm not a fan of being land-locked.

Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO | The Mozilla Blog.

Nice way to treat a successful businessman in this so-called free nation. I really can't believe the strong-arm technique and hypocrisy of the people who are stifling freedom. Are homosexuals so insecure they can't handle someone contributing to their opposition? Sickening.

Google Mail-Gmail

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-03-14/google-wants-e-mail-scanning-information-blocked.html

This goes in to why I left Gmail after having quite a good set up with two accounts.

I do not like my email getting scanned in order to send me ads based on what is read. That is outrageous to me. Juno does it and I've kept that account but it is only for business. Any newsletter I sign up for goes to that account. I've got a paid account for my friends. Of course my husband has had the same free account for over a decade. It is a steady one where people CAN find me if they lose track with all the changes. ;)

Tonight I was chatting with some friends, one of whom has known me through many email changes. It really is ridiculous  how often I change email! It's typically been due to too much spam taking over an account, so I'd move on. Sometimes a parameter changed with the server. Sometimes it was due to moving and we couldn't keep an email (sbcglobal.net comes to mind). The bottom line is, it truly is embarrassing how many email addresses I've had since starting with computers. At least my  mailing address has been the same for over 5 years; that is an accomplishment! My family's phone books are a mess under my name due to how much I moved while in college. ;) I guess we can't be perfect in EVERY way!

Searching This Blog

It can be hard to find what you are looking for on a blog. I thought this might prove helpful.

If you put a term in the search box, it is only going to bring up posts with those words in the title. Watch punctuation, it matters. I try to be exact, using apostrophes, for example, so if you write a term that should have one with out it, you'll get nada in the search results.

Often I write about the same topic and try to tag the topics similarly. If you want to find all my posts about something, the best way is to find one such article and then click on a tagged term. For example, type 'cults' in to my search box and only a few articles come up. But then click on the tag "Apostasy" and you will find a LOT more on the subject matter.

I hope this helps!
