Pets

I found this website that has a table listing lost pets. It's called Petfinder. They also will give you a code so that you can put it on your website. So I was going to post the code to one of my websites and I just thought "What the heck" I'll make a page for my own pet.

Rah Jah's Website

Would you believe that my cat also has a blog? There should be a link to it on the above link.

You'd be surprised at how many people have websites devoted entirely to their pets. I have even seen a few memorial websites that honor beloved pets.

Just another wacky example of the many things that you can find on a website!

Looking For An Apartment?

While I'm a "house" kind of gal, I found this website about apartments. This website contains a list of apartments and how other people have rated them.

Apartment Ratings.com

Even though there's a section for Philadelphia apartments I just put a link to the whole website (never know who's reading my blog and from where). Maybe you have a rating of your own that you would like to post.

I know that there are some apartments in Philly with some real high rents and the city is always building more! Most people I know couldn't afford to pay the high rents that some of these places charge. Hopefully if you are looking for an apartment you'll be able to find something that you can afford.

A Fellow Person That Works at The Grocery Store

Interesting blog I came upon today. Its from a woman that also works in a grocery store.

She is really going through some drama but I did notice that she works at a grocery store and her entries brought back memories of when I worked at the Shoprite. She mentions things like "clocking out" and having to stay later because the person that's supposed to relieve her is coming in late.

Her posts are really interesting. There's this guy that she likes but she's afraid to ask him out. It kind of sounds like one of those romantic movies.

Anyway there are lots of blogs on the Internet (mine included) but it gets kind of frustrating when you visit one and the person hasn't posted for a few months. Some people forget about their blogs so they haven't been posted to in years.

But I thought that this one would make an interesting read for 'ya

Gimp

One of the best things about having an all-in-one printer is that it can act as a copy machine. Back a long time ago when I got my first scanner I was glad because now I didn't have to make unneccessary trips to the post office to make copies of something. Now I can copy, fax and scan at any time of the day or night! Once I had to go to a company that specialize in sending faxes because I had to fax a form to a company and of course they wanted it right away and mailing it wasn't an option they gave me - Grrrrrrrrrr! But any way I think it cost me something like $12 dollars to fax a few forms and that made me mad enough to say that I was going to get a fax machine!

Oddly enough my brother is just as computer crazy as I am and he told me of a recent problem that he had when he tried to send an attached file of some forms. It seems the program that he used to convert his documents would only convert them into a .bmp format and since .bmp formats can be huge in size he couldn't attach the file because it exceeded the size limit of his email. That's when I told him about the Gimp Program.

Gimp is a very powerful graphics program that is open sourced and free to download. Here is the website address:

Gimp

I downloaded this program myself and since it has so many capabilities it just confuses the heck out of me but I do use the program when I need the .html coding numbers for different color palets. I'm sure in time I will learn my way around this program. My graphics program of choice is Paint Shop Pro and for more simpler graphic work I will just use Windows Paint.

But the main reason I recommended the Gimp Program to my brother is because this program will let you take a .bmp graphic and convert is to a .jpg or .gif extension which will make the file a lot smaller in size. (I didn't mention the fact that to make a graphic file smaller that you could also reduce the number of colors if its a simple black and white graphic)

So there you have it - another freebie courtesy of the Internet!

Yes the Internet has SEX on it......

It's not everybody's cup of tea but the fact remains that there are numerous sex sites on the Internet. You can find a "friend", find women (or men) to "chat" with and there are chat rooms and webcam sites - especially adult webcam sites all over the Internet!

Just in case you're curious there is a banner on the top right side of this blog that will give you a peek inside the adult world of the Internet. But be forewarned - "dating" on these Internet sites can be just as dangerous as dating in real life! You never know who you will be talking to. Have you seen that Dateline show "To Catch A Predator?" It shows about the online world of the chat rooms and some of the things that go on there.

Now of course not all websites are sex/adult websites and not all chat rooms are about sex and adult subjects. I have participated in lots of chat rooms where sex wasn't even discussed - although that may be hard for one to believe!

So if its your cup of tea you can click on the banner. If it's not your cup of tea just ignore it and go on to the other stuff that's on my blog.

Free Ringtones Aren't Going To Do Me Any Good!

You want to know why? Because my cellphone doesn't accept ringtones other than the ones you have to pay for! So all those "free ringtone" ads won't do me any good! I would love to be able to get some of the free ringtones that are offered but I just can't do it! I did download that spooky music from "The Exorcist" but it just sounds so spooky that I don't want it suddenly ringing and scaring the beejeebees out of me but I'm not going to delete it 'cause I already paid for it!

Now this "bluetooth" thing is supposed to be able to let me record sounds and add them as ringtones but I haven't gotten it yet plus I don't know that much about it except that you can get some sort of headset attachment for your cellphone. So I have to learn more about this "bluetooth" thing before I get it.

The ringtones that came with my cellphone are kind of lame but I haven't deleted them yet.

The Hunt Is On!

Ok, so the indicator on my printer says that I'm running low on black ink! Besides this being another expense, I'm now going to have to figure out where I can buy it. I don't want to order it online - besides you can only pay by credit card if you order the cartridges online.

So I'm looking at the ads that come in the mail and the first place close is the Walgreens on Ogontz Avenue across the street from the Cheltenham Shoprite. Their advertiser says that they have printer cartridges there so I go there. Well they have about 9 different types of printer cartridges but wouldn't you know that the printer cartridge for my brand is all sold out and even if it wasn't it wasn't the printer cartridge for my printer. Now there is a Rite Aid near me right at Broad and Cheltenham so I may try there but I saw in a recent advertisement that Radio Shack sells printer cartridges and the Radio Shack is (kinda) closer to me than the Rite Aid so maybe a trip to the Cheltenham Mall will be necessary.

It's kind of odd now because I forget where I used to get my printer cartridges for my old printer (maybe I just blocked the whole thing out of my mind?) but I do remember one time that they were on sale at a K-Mart near the Willow Grove Mall. They were 2 for 1 so I most definitely got them but to make that trip again.......................................I mean its not like I don't need some other stuff that I could get at these stores. I just hate the fact that my printer has seduced me into needing it - like I'm a junkie or something - where I go into a panic when I run out of the ink in the printer cartridge.

There is a side note here and that is about those re-fill kits for printer cartridges. I really don't like them and I surely don't want to go messing up my printer!
