Blog Bits
August 7, 2008
I’ve got a hankering to do some organizing around here and so over the next few weeks I’m going to be playing around with the categories section and at the same time adding tags to all the posts. This will allow visitors to SisterFriends to more easily locate topics of interest to them and help my slowly dimming mind keep track of things. The reason I’m mentioning is that if you follow SisterFriends through an RSS feed you might be seeing a lot of feed notices for the site and while some of it will be alerting you to new posts, most of the new feeds will be activated because of the editing I’ll be doing on the existing posts.
Just for the fun of it I recently added a dictionary widget. Double-click on any word on SisterFriends and a little box will pop up with info on that word, from a Dictionary to Wikipedia. Sorry. No definition for kadoodling is presently provided.
And finally, I switched to a new Bible plug-in so now when you click on any scripture reference a pop-up of the passage content should appear, and once you’re read the passage just you move your cursor off the reference and the pop-up should automatically close. I’ve been testing it for the last few minutes and on a couple occasions I’ve noticed that the pop-up doesn’t close on it’s own but all you have to do is pass your cursor back over the reference and that should do the trick.
I think that’s it for now in the way of bits and pieces. Now it’s on to getting dinner ready for me lady.

Okay Anita, I was willing to overlook the words shindig,groovy and even kadoodling. But sisterfriend, hankering, just goes too far. I picture you sitting in your bibs on the front porch, whittling on a stick, a toothpick in your mouth, and an old hound dog laying at your feet. I can hear you holler out from under your floppy brown felt hat, “D honey, I have a hankering to do some organizing. Go get me the sticky notes.”

Kelli–> Uh…exsqueeze me but I did NOT say hankerin’ which would have denoted a hillbilly with wireless connectivity. Hankering, on the other hand, is a whole other ballgame and can be properly used by even us cityfied folk.

a hillbilly with wireless connectivity…hmmmm isn’t that an oxymoron? Maybe I’m the oxymoron..I’m still on dial up. Well girl I could have sworn I heard hankerin’ just blame it on my hardhearing. No offense meant, go on and hanker all you want.

Might I add that one can be a hillbilly and live in the city too. I have met some rather sophisticated hillibies…….one being myself.

Oh I forgot to mention that I am keeping the picture of you in the old brown floppy hat. Too funny to give up.

(she muttered, unheard for the sound of slightly off-key banjo bluegrass, as she scratched and reached for a jug beside the hound dog on the splintery and unpainted back porch, overlooking the overgrown mass of rusty and critter-infested jalopies in the back yard beside the field of poison ivy.)

Okay Girls –> Clever. Funny. Delightful. But knuckleheads all the same. Kelli, you did that pig call way too good to be more than an amateur. And Bon, you gave me my first Sunday morning wake-up chuckle!

Knucklehead??? Knucklehead??? I resemble that remark.
I would tell you that I am a secret agent for Hog Callers of America, but then I would have to do a brain drain on you and you wouldn’t remember anyway.

Huh. Birds of a feather. Hillbillies and knuckledheads, they play well together.
