Bring In The Cats

(Note:  This is the first post in what will be probably too many in a new category:  "Time Wasters")

Bring In The Cats isn't a game, nor is it much of a time waster because you'll likely get tired of it by the time the song cycles through the first time.  There's also not a lot to it other than cat's heads flying around the screen with a flashing, color changing background and a catchy tune that grows annoying...but will probably stay stuck in your head all day  What it is, however is cute.  After all, the Internet needs more cats, right?

I'm No Doormat

You Have Balanced Boundaries

You are a kind hearted soul, and you never want to do anyone harm... and that includes yourself.

For the things that don't matter, you are very live and let live. But you do have your breaking point.

Of all the types, you struggle the most with what to do in any complicated situation. You weigh your options carefully.


And while you may make mistakes occasionally, you do a good job sticking up for yourself without going overboard.

You are an active and engaged person who is very concerned with doing the correct thing. You try to take the high road.


While you may be forceful when it's time to stand up for what's right, you always do so with respect and dignity. 




Nope, not a doormat, but if I was, I'd look like this:

What's a Big Brother For?

I just got this in my Gmail account, the one I use for most everything. (I have statements and announcements from them sent to Gmail.)They're referring to my AT&T/Yahoo provided email account, one I never use...and am glad of it. Gmail has its own privacy concerns, but they've never altered my address book.


On one hand, it's good that I don't have invalid email addresses in my address book, but on the other I don't like them making changes w/out my approval, esp. deleting information. 

1984, you got here a little late, but I was hopin' you'd never get here at all.

Funny GIFs

Photobucket has been sending me "You should see these!" types of emails lately; I've used the service for a long time, since MSN Groups, but Blogger lets me add photos using Picassa, so I don't use it much anymore except when I want to put an animated graphic (GIF) into a post. (I guess I "use" it every day because that's where the graphics for the month images at the top of the page are hosted)

I followed a link in the email to see this: Animated_GIFs I would link to the slide show, but there are over 400 graphics and even with my fairly fast connection, the animations wouldn't load fast enough until it was cycling through to the next one. There are some funny ones, worth a look!

(Did you know GIF isn't pronounced "gif" but rather as "jif", with a "J"?  So says the creator of them, but there are people arguing that he's wrong.)
