Things I’m Grateful For on Tuesday 29 April
I’ve found these things to be grateful for or appreciate today:
- The commenting leaderboard stands as follows:
- Quin, with 25 points.
- Ree, with 24 points.
- Bob C/LaVeda, with 23 points each.
- Remember, the contest closes at midnight GMT tomorrow. Now is the time to refer someone, if you want to earn 5 easy extra points. Just get them to mention your name when you comment. There’s not much difference between the leaders, so 5 points will make a big difference. Please don’t give me a tie breaker.
- Getting to sleep early, then getting up early and writing another article, this time on how to use Firefox to drop 300 Entrecard’s in 15 minutes.
- Hot coffee.
- I have plenty of change for the parking meter.
- I’m not in work until 1PM, so I have plenty of time this morning to do jobs that need doing.
- Working on the new blog. Fixed a few problems, and created a few others to fix.
- I think I can see some flower buds on the Black Panther Streptocarpus.
- Firefox’s built in spellchecker.
- The weather looks to be nice and dry today.
- Nail clippers. If you’ve ever tried to trim your nails with a pair of scissors, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
- I have a water bottle to take to work with me.
- Having enough time to do everything before work. Everything seems to be dropping into place - shower, breakfast, blogs, dressing for work, etc.
- The little warning that Firefox pops up when you don’t save the changes on a page. It saves me so much hassle.
- Safe driving.
- The gorgeous Gorse bush I see on my way to work. It’s literally dripping with flowers.
- Loudly singing along to Karma Chameleon by Boy George, on the way to work. Yes, I am apparently that camp.
- Work went well. I had a lot of ideas for the Entrecard guides while I had a quiet spell. I was idly doing Fregair about it, and managed to fill one side of a piece of paper in just a couple of minutes.
- I did really well on TPC’s yesterday, which is good.
- Chatting to Dinky. We always seem to have a good time, talking about nothing.
- A new PCSO. Slurp.
- Eating a sufficiency.
- Chatting to my regulars.
- A tasty evening meal.
- Ice cream. Of the hazelnut variety.
- Dropping 600 Entrecard’s.
- Hot coffee.
- I get paid tomorrow. Finally.
- Writing a beginner’s guide to Entrecard.
Things I’ve laughed at today:
- I was listening to the radio on the way to work, and they were discussing imaginary friends. One woman rang in live, and explained how she had one. I seem to recall having an entire peer group of imaginary friends.
Things I want to manifest:
- A nice, quick, simple & easy day at work. MANIFESTED.
- Lots of TPC sales. HOPEFULLY.
- Getting the hosting sorted.
Things I’ve done for others:
- Wrote another guide to using Entrecard.
- Shared the wealth.
- Served lots of customers in a professional manner.


I am all meh about Entrecard right now. I guess I should start again. It is just so time consuming! That plugin sounds interesting!

Have a look at the article I wrote. Here’s one about dropping quickly & here’s one about using Firefox to help.

I don’t recall what mine was called. I do remember that he used to live in my wrist, though. I have no idea why that was, either.

April 29th, 2008 at 10:31 pm Quote this commentHi-
Liosliath (LiLi) asked me to check out your site - she’s doing some work with the Law of Attraction, and mentioned this as giving her some ideas for a ‘Gratitude Journal’ - albeit online, lol. I just started putting my website/blog together (ok, she actually did it, I just provide the content!) but this gives me some ideas. Thanks!
April 30th, 2008 at 1:09 am Quote this commentWell, as for Karma Chameleon, I’m in that camp, too. Except I’m never sure whether to sing “Red Gold and Green” or “With Golden Dreams” - I should probably look up the lyrics.
I was singing along to “West End Girls” in the market today. Yes, I am a dork.
April 30th, 2008 at 3:07 am Quote this commentMy father in-law (Bob/ExpressingOpinions.com)is visiting from the mainland and showed me your web site. So very cool. I hope our site looks as good when we are done building it. Great idea for postings.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:39 am Quote this commentSounds like you’re really rockin’ the Entrecard! I could have used some extra change for parking meters today. I was digging into my seat cushions! hope you’re having a great week

What’s the address?
I’m 99% sure it’s “Red, gold and green”. That’s what I was singing, anyway, and nobody corrected me.
Thank you for the compliment. They’re always welcome.

I have to scrat about on my dashboard, because my seat cushions aren’t actually cushions - they’re more like deckchairs.
