I'll say "I'll send you a link to my blog" and get a reply something like this: "I don't know how to work with blogs"...I have to explain to them that it's just like going to any other website. Seems like something about the word Blog throws some people.

A strange combo, unless you're an author of space opera, and a ninja warrior for fine blogginginess! Then of course I read your blog, Lee. Is there anything else I really need to know?<br /><br />I remember the first time I read the words: "There's nothing new under the sun." And by George, that has been proven over and over. I think of the helicopter I saw etched (hieroglyphics) in a tomb of the Pyramids. The inscription translates into, "The First Time." (But, yes, I love reading about all sorts of news.)Dixie@dcreliefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558671709412200904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-4171280503761855762015-04-16T14:37:13.612-07:002015-04-16T14:37:13.612-07:00I don't really read newsy blogs much.
