So the momma and I are trying to do NaBloPoMo this month…in January, one of the longest months! For those who aren’t familiar with NaBloPoMo, it stands for National Blog Posting Month. But now it is every month of the year. Bloggers just sign up for it and are listed on a blogroll. The rule is that you have to post every day for that month. We wonder if many people bag out in the first week? We just haven’t  felt like writing much lately. Yesterday we even “redated” a post from 10/08! Will we get in trouble? Will the momma be arrested? Will I have to go to the pound? Will we forever have to bow our heads in shame? Well, at least our whining has gotten something written! Meh…maybe we’ll be in a better writing mood tomorrow.

The End!

It’s nearly midnight and we can’t think of anything to write about. The NaBloPoMo topic is “best” but we may have to pick another one. Any ideas out there? Twitter may be best to reach us as our spam program seems to be deleting everything, but you may try if you like. Have a good evening and by the way….Happy New Year!

The End!

We cannot believe what came up as the number one post from 2009!

1. Least Popular Posts …. how ironic is that?
2. Sources for when your pet friend needs help need help …. a list of charities and aid for pet owners in need
3. At UC, dogs now hear this! …. Timmy the Service/Therapy Dog seeks help for his hearing loss

5. Wilshire the Fire Dog …. a couple of very well done videos about the daily life of Wilshire the Fire Dog and an early visit from the Dog Whisperer!
6. The Memory Loss Tapes …. an announcement of the HBO broadcast series on Alzheimer disease with a video preview
7. Get Down and Dirty …. my buddy and I love the Dave Matthews Band!



8. Music/Bandwidth Thieves …. grrrrrr…..
9. Annoying Orange …. the title says it all (4 short videos) …. and this was the last post of 2009!
10. What’s all this crap about colon cleansing? …. this is a good way to “end” this list. Get it? END this list? Just watch the Annoying Orange videos, will ya?

Perhaps you’ve noticed that in a few of our posts the music players are no longer playing our songs.

The reason is that two unauthorized websites, beemp3 and tagoo, were “hotlinking” to a few of our songs to be downloaded via their website! Technical support thought that this extra activity was causing our website to frequently show errors and shut down periodically. There is a way to prevent this using “htaccess”, but the momma and I were confused as to how to do this on a wordpress based site. So we opted to just delete the files. There were only three that we found hotlinked, but we’ll keep checking!

The End!

Perhaps the momma and I will be posting more frequently from now on. We’ve freed up a LOT of time by disabling comments. Sorry. We love to read YOUR comments but no matter what we try, we keep getting bombarded with Cialis, viagra, amoxicillin and the like comments! Neither the momma (for obvious reasons) nor I (because of an important surgery I had as a youngster) have a need for cialis or viagra.

The End!
