Latest Versions of Browsers.

2011-04-02T22:20:00.001-04:00

I took "the Challenge" and downloaded Internet Explorer 9 today. Hmmm... funny, how all of the browsers used to have all kinds of Menu's everywhere, showing you your options. The latest trend is not to show you anything except for 3 or four icons which will take you to the menu's that we used to have. Good thing I got to practice with the old browsers. Wonder how folks who are new to this

I have spent a very long time playing games on Facebook. I've built up 5, yes five farms at Farm Town! (lol) YoVille now has 5 of my accounts also. The only one I paid real money for was Farm Town, and a wee bit for Yoville. What started all of this? Well, it was the death of my husband in 2009. If every writer needs a muse, then mine ,must have been my husband. Lost him, and I lost my

Massachusetts Senatorial Race, Tuesday January 19, 2010

2010-01-15T22:08:00.001-05:00

Boy, do I feel important! Today I got a telephone call from President Obama. Well, O.K. so it was a recorded message. :) Still, our states election for a new U.S. Senator to replace Ted Kennedy, has taken on a turn of importance, unknown to any election of it’s kind, in the history of this state. We are being barraged by advertisements from all sorts of political groups. Even Presidents

CFS Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

2009-07-19T18:21:00.001-04:00

Someone asked me the other day what CFS is. Today I found a very good video explaining it here: Just trying to spread the word, "Yes, it does exist!" "And yes, it really is a lousy condition to be in!" Before I contacted it I led a life... since then, I mostly *watch* life via the Internet! (grrr) Posted via email from raenie's posterous

Where I've been!

2009-07-04T20:54:00.001-04:00

I suddenly realized that I havent been active on the net again. I had been having a wonderful time at Twitter, and all of the little weblets that are associated with it! (grin) Then I was overwhelmed by the lurkers that add you to their friends list there. Twitter was making some changes again, and I wasnt able to delete the unwanted the way I could before.

Plymouth Harbor Camera Test

2009-06-16T09:50:00.001-04:00

Yesterday I took a side trip to test my camera. Or maybe I should say, to test the operator! (heeh) Anyway, I'm impressed by all of the great photos my friends are taking; not to mention the great blogs some write every day. My Chronic Fatigue keeps me from having any fun. So yesterday, when I drove down Rout 3 to BJ's Wholesale to do some food shopping, I took my camera

Finally ... A New Episode of "The Closer"!

2009-06-08T15:24:00.002-04:00

Tonight we'll be able to see a new episode of one of my favorite T.V. shows! (yeah) The Closer broadcast by TNT at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The reason I like Brenda so much is that she is an empowered woman. Even if the producers do have her acting somewhat "ditzy" at times. (lol) Detective shows have always been my favorite type of drama. This one has humor mixed in. Love the characters!

About my home state, Massachusetts, USA I have always loved History, and Massachusetts is chock full of History!.The state Capitol is Boston. Famous for The Boston Tea Party, and the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. As well as Old Ironsides. You can listen to the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Photo Attempt

2009-05-18T22:20:00.004-04:00

I've been viewing all of these lovely photographs that people have posted on the web and decided that I would get out the old camera, and see what I could do.Well, first of all, I decided that I'd better start working with a tripod, since I have problems holding the camera steady otherwise. That seemed to make things a lot easier. It also made me realize that my camera takes quite some time to

The Story of Stuff

2009-05-11T03:44:00.001-04:00

Watch "The Story of Stuff" by Annie Leonard How much "Stuff" do you accumulate? I know that I have lots and lots of "Stuff" which I've accumulated over the years. Guess the only good thing about that is that I've managed to keep things out of the waste stream. So far anyway. Until my son inherits it and then??? Posted via email from raenie's posterous
