Dear Mary,
Thank you for your kind words in my last entry. I'd like to visit your journal and make a comment. In fact I'd love to visit many entries, numerous journals, whip out brilliant thoughts and perhaps engender world peace.
But the problem is, among other things, I am a techno butterfingers. Just moving to blogspot has created a bit of a boondoggle for me. Taking time to create links, search, upload pictures, and (yikes!) think about what bloggers are saying has me downright frazzled. Plus, I have a tendency to break mechanical things when I touch them. Truth is, I can't be trusted with a toaster.
Which leads me to my thought process. I hope it's not a butterfingers, too, but it may be. It's way slow, with good thoughts coming after I've put them on the stove to mull and stew for a day. Now, why is that so? Can I hasten things up a bit? Is there a thought enhancer, a mind speeder-upper? (I'm not talking illegal substances, mind you.) Could it be the irony of slowing one's thoughts, meditating, in fact increases thinking ability? And then are the thoughts themselves sloppy and slippery, based on hidden and perhaps inaccurate assumptions? Or are they pithy and original?
Well, as you can probably see, I like to ask questions a lot more than I like to fiddle with sites and keys and scanning and downloading and figuring out techno stuff, so please just know that until I figure everything out, which may be a few weeks, your comment, as are the comments of others, affirming to me. I truly appreciate them.
Beth
ps haven't seen jarhead yet. Of course, also haven't cleaned house or shopped for company yet, either. ***sigh***

Beth, I'm a techno butterfingers, too. I spent all last night messing around with trying to post pictures on my latest entry. I posted them once, then didn't like the quality of them. I scanned the images and tried again, and then the trouble started. The pictures would upload but wouldn't save on the entry. I even tried several times here at work in between grading and talking to students. Finally, it worked. I have no idea why it worked or why it didn't. But I have the images now. Please don't sweat it. These things will come with time. Judi Heartsong just posted a link to HTML shortcuts; I'll check that out soon. We'll get there--just hang on! Love to you for the holiday.
Hi Beth, I am new and feel your teckno pain. I thought I'd just sit a spell on your porch and say welcome! Tammy
Beth, Welcome!!
