I kind of miss the days where if you didn't answer the phone people knew you were out. I never got yelled at for not having my phone, or not answering, or not having it on, or not returning the call, or not listening to the message.<br /><br />I asked my aunt yesterday (while waiting for surprise party bday guy to show up) if they went offline were they still alive and they said they didn't know because they haven't tried and it might feel a little like pulling the plug.<br /><br />I say this yet I am suppose to be resting today enjoying the outdoors yet here I am... however, it is raining, so there.Just Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842126422147340390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-49630012275899010842009-06-25T23:28:05.032+02:002009-06-25T23:28:05.032+02:00I think before mobile phones we sent smoke signals...I think before mobile phones we sent smoke signals?<br />That is a very strange picture of obama and the pirate.

Particularly when I am on vacation. However, I don't like it when other people disappear! It's a sad thing when a favorite blogging friend suddenly vanishes. . .<br /><br />LOVE that quilt.

Are there ANY decent ones out there? There are so many decent people in the world, why are they so poorly represented in the political world? <br /><br />I just can't imagine what we did without mobiles. I guess lots of arrangements didn't come off due to crossed wires, travel arrangements going awry. Perhaps we were all less bothered by 'being stood up' because it happened so often? <br /><br />But what did we do without email? I talked to my friends on the phone SCREAM. this is my idea of a nightmare now. I don't much like to chat really, I like to mail/text/tweet which I can do when it suits me! <br /><br />30 secrets, oooh I can't wait. Top tip...be sure to have a large amount of them sorted before you start. I didn't and I'm finding it very stressy! And I have no idea how they turned in to self portraits nearly every day, with dressing up. Arggh! the pressure. <br /><br />Yup, that's me with MrBig in the Oval office btw. I love having 'The White House' as a contact. I wonder if MrPresident tunes in for my secrets on flickr? I bet he does...<br /><br />Quilt - I need to be able to sew. It pains me that I can't.

He confessed to having hurt 1. the mistress, 2. "you people", and 3. Mrs. Gov. That should have tipped her off about her place in the hierarchy of importance to him. (I'm surprised that # 1 wasn't "my chance to be President"). Cynical?

However, I've kept them for so long I may have forgotten them all and I'm not so sure they're the good, juicy kind anyway.

They see it as a total waste of time. They listed off things they felt were more worthy. Some were good, some were rubbish (IMHO). They totally did not get the whole blogging thing. As I tried to explain what I get out of it, their eyes just glazed over. Suddenly I felt like the poet who is dismissed as someone who just writes silly rhymes. As the painter whose masterpiece is considered nothing more than finger painting. Like the fly fisherman who is simply casting bait. Oh, I feel a rant coming on...<br /><br />But not before saying that I, too, love the colors of the quilt and see why they can be so inspiring after a gloomy day. Sometimes we need a little grey to make colors pop.
