New Widget
Last night while surfing I found a neat relatively simple way to add some of the music I enjoy to my blog. Right now it’s not updating to show the tracks I added this evening. I’m not sure why. There may be a step I left out. I changed it to play the list in random order too, but for me at least it’s still playing in order. If you don’t like the music and it somehow starts on it’s own on you, just click the stop thing in the top left corner of the green play list.
“I’ll be there” is very special for me. I added some more Joni Mitchell, and two more special tunes -Chris de Burgh’s “Lady in Red” and Lori Morgan’s “Something in Red” tonight. So far they’re not showing up. Hope the list refreshes soon, or I figure out what I’m doing wrong as I add them, so they play. No hard rock or hip hop I’m afraid, but some classical, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and the Boss will eventually show up as I gather.
Hope ya like it….

WW 9?????

On Feb 25 you said you were tidying up Winter Wonders 9 and hoped to post it this week. Then we get “widgets”. I’m not complaining, you understand. We are happy for what we get.

It took a while, George, but I got it. I’m behind with ww 9. I know that, & frankly don’t deserve that comment. I’m putting in 16 hour days at my vanilla job, and sometimes when I get to get on line I’d rather surf and enjoy what I’ve found here just as you do. Some days I come home and go straight to bed. Some days, when I get home from the job that just barely pays my bills I stay off line to draw or write to try and give just to ty to keep folks like you as friends, and I’m failing at it.
So since I’ve been reduced to whining, here’s my question to you and anyone else demanding more than is humanly possible from me, where’s your support for me on my cafeplus store front or even the Cane-iac paddle store? Just two of you people who begged me to sell my art have bought paddles and no one has bought anything from my cafepress store in 8 months. 10 percent of 10 bucks will eventually add up buck by buck. It’s a fair thing to ask and ask aout.
I’m not just burning out at work… I’m very lonely and lost these days. No one close to me knows how stressed I am and frankly it really hurts that folks here, casual blog friends that I count on for relief, only want and want and make me feel even more worthless because I can’t keep up.
ww9 will go up when I feel it cuts the mustard and not before, period.
I have NO immediate plans to resurrect Spitfire either, I’m sorry. The story hurts too much for now.

Patty, dear one, I love your widget, Joni Michell, Leonard Cohen and Chris de Burgh are some of my favourite singers, visiting your blog has become even better.
I’m writing to you shortly.
Try and get some rest.
Love and warm hugs,
Paul.

Patty, I’m sorry. I did not mean to seem that I was whining or complaining. I just thought it was a funny response, and didn’t think of your personal situation. You do WW 9 in your own time and as you want to. You owe us nothing. It is we, who owe you! I know that when you are ready and finish it, it will be up to you usual standard and we will enjoy it then.
I know that it might not seem like it, but I’m becoming very fond of you. If I were just 30 years younger…..
Love and hugs

Hi Patty,
You’ve started a new job, please, please give yourself a break. That’s such a stressful time and, as we know, you were so busy before that trying to leave your last job in perfect condition. I can only speak for myself but I look forward to whatever I find here whenever I can visit. I get extremely busy with work at times and can’t visit and other times I’m always stopping by. Love your work, your creativity, your thoughts. No worries, no demands…when blogging becomes an obligation, we’ll lose you and that’s the last thing I want!! Please take good care,
Sasha

Thank you Paul and Sasha I’m happy whenever I find new content on my favorite blogs. I’m noticing that updates all around come in spits and spurts. Life does, after all come first, and now & a gain so does veg out and be quiet or surf and play time…

Patty dear, it would be more like a May-December romance, and I’m sure it would be fun, but I’m not up to the travel. If we were in the same location, who knows???
Love and hugs,
George

Although we enjoy your wonderful writings and artwork(I find your artistic talent absolutely amazing), you should not feel any obligation to give any more than you feel up to. Draw and write because you enjoy it, dear, not to appease any of us. Considering all the pay sites out there, I really appreciate that you share you talent with all of us for nothing. And even more so, we appreciate that you share YOU with us. You know, your everyday posts where you share your unfailing sense of humor and unique views with us. I’m so sorry that you feel lost and lonely right now…that’s a terrible way to feel. Your blog should be a place where you blow off steam and de-stress, not feel worse.
**big hug**

Amanda said what I should have said. I do feel for you now in your work and personal life. I wish I could help.
Hugs,
George
