My mind has often gone on trips without the rest of me, and I seldom remember to document them for you. Today, under the energy of a little extra Halloween sugar rush, I’ve got some ramblings for you.
For example, do you shop online? Or look at knitting patterns, or any sort of lists with pictures? You know what makes me mad? When all I get is itty bitty one inch by one inch pictures on my web browser of whatever I’m trying to buy. I have a 23” inch monitor 15 inches from my face and I can’t tell what’s in the picture because they can’t put one up that is actually big enough to see. And then, when you click on the ENLAGE icon or whatever, you get a popup WITH THE EXACT SAME SIZED PICTURE IN IT! What’s up with that?
I also have a gripe with websites that have a bunch of pages, so there are page numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 NEXT. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m trained that NEXT takes you to the, ahem, next page to view. So, logically, if I”m on page 1, NEXT will take me to page 2, right?
But no, it takes me to page 6. I do not understand that. (Ok, I do know what they’re doing, but that’s beside the point. It’s dumb design.)
It looks like the rain around here is going to stop finally. I’m not sure, but I think they called the National Guard out to use the boats to get us to our cars, across the flooded ditches. The good news is there’s enough candy in our office to survive 40 more days and nights of rain.
If you’re into it, I hope you have a Happy Halloween!
If you’re not into the kid thing, ghosts and pirates and ballerinas and such, just have a nice weekend!
Usually out here in Wyoming our little trick or treaters bundle up against the snow and cold and costumes are severely covered by down coats. Despite the snow earlier this week, it appears Saturday will be mild and costumes might be seen. I have a 10 year old boy, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes today and is in the ICU. He’d planned to be a gangster, complete with a pinstriped suit, fedora hat, and violin case…… I might have to find him some bootleg candy and hope he wears his costume a day late for me!
