Important Stuff -- Or Not: FYI

FYI

Thanks to Cathy, who magically found a Google cache of my old blog, I managed to restore all my links in about an hour. And I have to admit, the new editing tools are pretty cool! When I get off work this morning, I go on vacation and start my move. I have a pre-inspection today. Don't know what that is. The notice said it's so they know what kind of contractors to call in after I move. I'm thinking a plumber, a painter, a carpet cleaner and a backhoe operator. I'm going to spend today and Wednesday basically throwing out stuff I haven't even looked at in years. Thursday, I pick up my keys and write my first blood-sucking check. And I'll start moving things I can carry. Starting Friday, I'll be allowed to move things I can't carry. That's where my newly purchased dolly comes in -- and those furniture sliders that you put under the legs of heavy things. The first thing to go into the new apartment will be the cats. Can't wait to see their reaction. Hopefully, I'll be done by Sunday in time to at least run a vacuum over my old place and wipe down the kitchen counters. Every time I moved in the military, I had to leave the place white-glove clean. So this will be a welcome change. If I use my time properly, I won't be doing much blogging for the next few days. I'll go completely dark on Wednesday. Don't know how long I'll be down. The cable guy comes in on Wednesday, so if I remember how to hook up my computer, it shouldn't be long. Yes, I'm excited. Holy cow! Has anyone tried the spell checker yet on this new blogger? It instantly highlights every word that might be misspelled. Click on the word and a list of corrections pops up. But I don't see any place to add new words. Like pffft and sheesh. That will be a handicap. Sheesh.

Cathy said...: I'm glad I could help.

Now for you rebels that haven't switched, do yourself a favor and save your template on Notepad before your hit that button that says "SWITCH NOW". That way in the event Blogger decides to be disagreeable, you will still have your template and all your linkage.

Kimosabe- Good luck on the move. Let us know how your kitties do... I always like the low slinky stealthy walk... too cute...

OH.... LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS, NOT YOUR BACK!

That is all.; 6:15 AM
Trader Rick said...: Lone, do you remember the classic Disney film that featured the Two Siamese Kats singing a duet, and I paraphrase--

"We are Sia-mese, if you Ple-ase.
We are Sia-mese, if you don't please.
We are looking over our new Domicile.
If we like it, we may just stay awhile!"

GO BEARS!!; 7:14 AM

Mark said...: Lone Ranger, I see you did the same thing I did. Your first two links are the same thing. I warned you. You might want to check over your blogroll. When I click on Dakotaranger I get Ross. I don't know if there are other errors. I just want to give you a heads up.; 9:06 AM

LR, if you have to, make a map of how your computer is hooked up. Label the cables with tape or something. You don't want to see your following in the throes of withdrawal. ;); 1:26 PM
Lone Ranger said...: Yup, they're already labeled. I use white address labels to tag the cables.; 1:31 PM
Mark said...: The wires that go to the back of my computer are color coded already. Plus, none of them can go into the wrong port because of their shape and size.; 8:36 PM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

8. Ignorance is the cornerstone of arrogance.

9. Which is more racist, to hate someone who is not white or to assume someone is racist because he is white?

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

14. Paternalism is the purest form of racism.

15. People who bend the truth, usually bend it in their favor.

26. Liberals don't think outside the box; they ARE the box.

27. You cannot change the hearts and minds of liberals, because they possess neither.

28. There is no such thing as a kind liberal.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
