    Yes, it happens so fast that before you can fathom what was happening, everything's over. You already lost your purse and the culprit is nowhere to be found.

    I'd just like to second choochoo's comment above. :D

    Also, has that little warning sign always read "falling cow zone"? If so, I've been remiss in not noting it earlier!

    That settles it! I'm no longer leaving turtles in charge of my purse when I go into the restroom. Besides...I need my camera with me for the toilet pictures. ;-)

    Indeed, turtles make a horrible purse sitter!

    Excellent summary, Calli - I feel that way about my mind quite often!

    Yep, the cows have been falling here for quite some time!

Technical How-To: Changing Oil

Image
This weeks post is brought to you by the letters "L" and the number 0. Representing, respectively, the nature of my work (Lousy, lame, loathsome, loquacious Ok, that's not really an appropriate adjective, but I was running out of Ls and felt like 4 words was better than three ) and the amount of time I have available to write this (0 hrs). So then, I will today leave you with a slightly edited version of something I lifted off the net years ago. It's posted all over the place, but my version is better! :) Oil Change instructions for Women: 1) Pull up to Jiffy Lube when the mileage reaches 3000 miles since the last oil change. 2) Drink a cup of coffee. 3) 15 minutes later, write a check and leave with a properly maintained vehicle. Money spent: Oil Change -$20.00, Coffee -$1.00, Total - $21.00. Oil Change instructions for Men: 1) Wait until Saturday, drive to auto parts store and buy a case of oil, filter, kitty litter, hand cleaner and a scented tree,

Dear Blogger, We Need To Talk...

Sometimes I think there are little gnomes running around in my template. Let me start by saying I like blogger. But I'm not too fond of magically appearing buttons, I must say. Is it odd that I am most annoyed by the fact that it clashes with my color scheme? (Update):  Ok, this is part of Google's new "+1" feature.  It was added automatically because it is now part of the "share" widget".  We are looking into whether we can change the colors or remove just that without taking away all the rest of the "shares"... Alternatively, maybe I should get counseling about my color OCD... :) (Update 2)  How to remove google plus one (+1) button Note, I accept no responsibility if you try this and somehow manage to boggle up your template! I haven't had luck changing or masking the color scheme, but if you're looking to send it to the curb, here's a few options: click "expand widgets" and look for:  <b:if cond=&

Is Blogging a Phase?

Image
If you take a look over there at our archives, it may look like The Village is a relatively new site -A fresh space on the internets, if you will. But five years ago, before some chinesse guy snatched our domain name out from under us, this very space was a thriving weblog. We were around back when blogs were described as "hybrid online sites that blend news, gossip and opinion" and even remember when Google bought "Blogger". Well, what happened then? Drum-roll... We simply stopped writing. And after recently ransoming my old template off of its forgotten servers, I've discovered that nearly every other site that I used to follow has done the same thing. Oh, there are still a few out there with recent updates. But most have either been laying dormant for years or are missing altogether. Now while it's possible that my departure from the web triggered a cataclyismic (cataclysimic?...5 years has not improved my spelling) caused a lot of people such
