Embarking on a journey ...


Every stride is a step on the journey...
Even if it's just a walk around your house, down the lane, or across the field! So, how far did you walk today? I've done .6 mile, and will do one more such round after dinner (and will report back!)
Every word is a step on the journey ...
How many did you write today? Did you reach your goal? Every word counts! Even these! :-) (See my comment to your post below...)

Truckin' on and naggin' as I do so ...
Your three-dot Nag Sister

Sunday, July 8, 2007


I rather like this tandem.... more like a double-decker tricycle.

So you don't get an image size choice.... small, medium, or large.... in the photo upload window? Bummer.

Here's an idea .... how about if you check out Nag Sisters at a library computer? Just to see the differences.

The last post looked good though. I got it in my mailbox. Are you getting this post in your mail? I can change that back if it's too dang annoying.

Tomorrow, Sis! BIC HOK TAM! Are ya ready??

I'm already dreading pouring out more drivel. I have to force myself to read at least ten pages a day of crap I've typed in previous BIWs. So here's the goal again:

Read ten pages of crap

Type five pages per day

Walk one mile or = per day. Yeah, biking five miles ought to be about the same as a mile of walking. Snort! I'm doing yoga again. It's very depressing. I can't even do a half-lotus and even worse, if I stay on the ground too long, it's difficult to stand up. Is that scary, or WHAT?????

Signing in case we ever have more than two Nag Sisters,

Dani

Of corsets and sometime-corpses



Arg! Sounds like your weather is about like ours. It's been above 100 for days... yesterday, though, we had a break (85) and today I'm hoping for same.
My back is still giving me problems... maybe I need a "superstructure," a la Inez, such as the one on the left!
I finally drilled down through setting and various "help" things to find out Safari isn't supported on all the nifty stuff. I need Mozilla to do all that. I can't even figure out how to re-size the images, dang!
Good luck with the soldering job.... try to stay cool.... with a fan, perhaps? Many breaks for cool libations? Here's hoping with a little Nag Sister nagging, a tall glass of iced tea or two, and a cool shower at the end of the day, you feel more like the fellow above! (he must've had his iced green tea this morning ... look at that aura!)

Different templates? Oh my aching back!


Elsie Palmer! How nice to meet you!
Wouldn't she be lovely in the book though ... although maybe I can just use the photo for inspiration.

Bicycled 5 miles today... does that equate to 1 mile of walking? And now my back is killing me!

OK, I think your template must look different from mine. I'm using Safari (maybe not the optimum ... but all I have). I see "check spelling", the little photo button for inserting an image, and that's all, except for "preview" way off the right. There's a whole range of things I can't do, like (sniff) colors, bold, italic and such.

I don't really want to be in the book.... I'm too young you know, and it would be stretching artistic license a bit. But you really should go stay at the Castle and go up into the canyon at least once. Mother hated it, but we loved traipsing around up there. It was much nicer than England, really, because we didn't have the dreadful rain.
Well, that is all I have to say about it. Delighted to be here.
Most sincerely,
Miss Elsie Palmer

The Queen Bee.... oh, let me guess where this is going! A few modern ranchwomen could take this quote of hers to heart:


"...Women should remember that all the evils of society are caused by the bad management of men, and women are greatly to blame for folding their hands and permitting this state of things," declared the Antelope in 1880.


She had NO idea how things would turn out!

The light and dark sides of Inez...

I've always loved the painting of the all-in-white Mrs. Henry White ... what a nice image of the "light side" of Inez. I DO think that Sargent's Madam X could be her "dark side." All she needs is a hidden pocket for the Remington Smoot No. 2 pocket revolver.


The cleaning of the room proceeds slowly. I need to dash to the library first! I'm looking for information on Caroline Nichols Churchill (http://tinyurl.com/3czfbv). I wish I could "link" the url, but can't figure out how to do this on my Mac!


Also, I tried to stack the two images one on top of the other w/out much success... is there a trick to that? (I seem to be able to drag them around, but the only other way is to insert the picture, then type, then insert another pic, then continue to type after that. Once you've published the photos, it's harder to edit the post.)
