See what Heather and I have been working on all week (amongst other things). We have a several styles and few more in the works, but we have enuf to go ahead and publish. Now we will send out a newsletter to the mailing list, about 25,000 last time I looked, to give them links to this page on www.PackageTech.com and several new scrapbooking sets at www.ScrapbookScrapbook.com It takes a whole day to email our list, the emails fire off one at a time and sometimes the browser jams up and stops, so we have to monitor it pretty closley. The addresses are in a-b-c order and we try to send to two letters of the alphabet at a time since that is all the program can handle.

So I had this little growth on the back of my right knee. I've had them before, rough little patches of skin that the Docs say are Seborrheic Keratosis spots. I have had a few frozen off over the years, including the one on the back of my knee, but it came back. So I figured why spend the time and big $ going to a doctor about this and I bought a Dr. Scholls Freeze Away Wart Remove kit and decided to see if I could just freeze it off myself. Since it was in a difficult-to-reach-myself location, I asked a scientifically minded friend, who will remain un-named so no one gives him a hard time, to assist. We read the instructions and did the deed. I think I have an area of frostbite about the size of a quarter, it is about 5 days later and the skin is now red all around my wound and it hurts. I have been putting Neosporin on it and now a large bandage. I have started on antibiotics. I only hope the scar that I end up with is no worse looking than the pea sized spot of rough skin that ...

Sent to me by my cousin Elise Warner: How sweet is this? In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, died shortly after birth. The mother tiger started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only "orphans" that could be found quickly were a litter of wiener pigs. The...

"A Lockheed Martin engineer with concerns about the safety and security flaws in a fleet of refurbished Coast Guard patrol boats turned to YouTube in order to publicize concerns he felt were being ignored by his employer and the government. From the article: 'The 41-year-old Lockheed Martin engineer had complained to his bosses. He had told his story to government investigators. He had called congressmen. But when no one seemed to be stepping up to correct what he saw as critical security flaws in a fleet of refurbished Coast Guard patrol boats, De Kort did just about the only thing left he could think of to get action: He made a video and posted it on YouTube.com.'" Michael De Kort's video on a Coast Guard cutter project had been viewed more than 8,000 times as of late yesterday.

We have finally gotten some rain. Not tons, but a decent shower for an hour or so each of the last two days. It is enuf to keep the grass alive. At the lagoon house, I have a well, so keeping the grass and bamboo alive during this drought doesn't cost a lot, but the Hardwood Dr. house has only city water. And, as I have found out, city water is real expensive. I have tried to not water any more than necessary to keep the grass from dying, but still have had water bills between 200 and 100 every month. Here, we get water on a separate bill from electricity or any other utilities. The trouble with letting the centapede grass die is that bad, fast growing weeds quickly invade. I'll have to say , that even with spending as much as I have on water, the grass is about half dead. It is very spotty. My kind neighbor on Hardwood Dr cuts my grass and even edges the place for me. He is a sweetie who lives up near B'ham and comes down about twice a month. His name is Charles, and he a...

Thanks to my kind neighbor who disassembled my rudder, took it home to B'ham, fixed it and then remounted it on the boat. I can use my peddle boat for the first time in ages. A friend came over yesterday afternoon and we had a fun Little Lagoon excursion. Considering the pretty strong wind, we managed w/ just a few mishaps. We also go to see Osprey #2 flying back and forth across my yard w/ a big fish. We startled hi when be bounded out the door and he took of, but eventually landed in a tall tree on the adjoining property with his fish.

Hobo nickels , carved by yesterday's homeless, were traded for meals, a place to sleep, a ride, or other favors. Some were carved with images of loved ones as mementos of better times, or to honor those lost to time. The Hobo Nickel Society has the history and tons of pictures and links. Some of the nickels done in the last 10 years or so were done by professional engravers, as a hobby. Those, of course, are incredible but the early ones, although somewhat crude, are pretty impressive considering they were working with tools like a jack knife and bits of broken glass. Showcase of mostly modern ones.

Movie chain AMC Entertainment Inc. said pranksters at one of its Phoenix theaters released two live diamondback rattlesnakes during a showing of the film "Snakes on a Plane" last Friday. No one was injured.

Slashdot says: "Known geek and comedy singer/songwriter Weird Al Yankovic has released the first song from his new album 'Straight Outta Lynwood' for free on his MySpace page. The track is entitled 'Don't Download This Song' and tells of the dangers of illegally downloading music from filesharing sites." It is pretty funny. Two lines: "Don't download this song, you'll burn in hell before too long."

I came home this afternoon to the prettiest bouquet of fresh flowers on my porch chair. Each stem was in its own water resevoir. I trimmed the stems and put them in a vase. Our nearby florist, Flowers by the Shore, does a wonderful job. The roses are even fragrant,....unusual in this day. Thanks G.P. Now I am hooked on fresh flowers weekly, so if any of my readers need to call Flowers by the Shores, here is the number: 251-968-8033 I think it is your turn next week. ...........................

Why do we still use roman numerals? No practical reason. Our society tends to be rather worshipful of the Romans, and to consider Latin to be the language of scholars. So anything that wants to look impressive has traditionally used roman numerals, because that's what they used in latin. Read all the facts about ROMAN NUMERALS on Good Math, Bad Math

A week ago Friday, I was on my way up to the Chamber and I pulled out of the nearby shopping center parking lot between Rite-Aid and Burger King, making a left onto Ft. Morgan Rd near the Ft. Morgan/Hwy 59 intersection. Unfortunately, a big ole GMC SUV decided to pull out of the rt hand turning lane and whip around a car that had slowed to turn. The turning lane he was in is new this summer and is not marked as a turning lane, so people who come off Hwy 59 are confused and not sure what lane to be in. That is what this guy had done, and he failed to see that I was coming out of the parking lot, since to me it appeared to me that all visible cars were turing in the driveway I was exiting. He pulled out quickly around the car in front of him and was close to being past me when I caught the last foot of his car. I was breaking with all my might, but I only had a few feet in which to stop. Crunch.... Just made me sick. The bumper was mashed into the tire, so I got the policeman to give me...

Today is Sat and I am home doing domestic duties. Last night was a fun and interesting dinner at Tin Top and today is cleaning, organizing, weed-eating, blow-up swimming pool cleaning, sweating, billpaying, reading, and seeing that I have gotten my first donation from a thankful scrapbook website visitor for $27 ! This week, I finally got around to signing up for an Amazon donations account and a PayPal donation account and putting the links on ScrapbookScrapbook.com . People regularly write me thank you notes, occasionally they call and thank me, so I figured it might bring in a bit of extra cash if I give them a way to make a little donation to the site as well. My very first one is larger than I expected. Reading other people's experiences with Tip Jar links on their sites and blogs confirmed that there are people out there who will slip you a tip if you make it easy for them to do so. I know that I have done it. I have clicked 5 bucks to software writers when I was grateful fo...

Workers at candy company see form of Virgin Mary in chocolate Workers at a chocolate company have discovered a 2-inch-tall (5-centimeter-tall) column of chocolate drippings that they believe bears a striking resemblance to traditional depictions of the Virgin Mary. Since the discovery of the drippings under a vat on Monday, employees of Bodega Chocolates have spent much of their time hovering over the tiny figure, praying and placing rose petals and candles around it. Wonder if the Chocolate Madonna's presence increases productivity. Read More

Greeting friends and family, I have just been too busy to play with the blog. Today I have been faxing and taking phone calls from the UK. It seems that a crook has stolen and used my scrapbook graphics on a graphics CD that she is selling online and on a British TV home shopping chanel. I have gotten emails from my own site visitors to alert me and calls from other designers who she has ripped off. One artist in the UK is willing to take her to court and she needs my cooperation. What this rip--off girl does not realize is that if she will not cooperate, then I can make a website that outranks her own site on search that alerts consumers to her dishonesty and warns then not to buy her products. I have done this in two other cases. It gets their attention ! Last Friday I had a small wreck in my adorable VW Thing. It was no ones fault. Just a result of lack of signage associated with a new turning lane that Gulf Shores has added. The out--of-towners just dont know the traffic patterns ...

Holy Water ? SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) -- Is it an artesian spring, a broken water pipe or an abandoned well? Lucille Pope's red oak tree has gurgled water for about three months, and experts can't seem to get to the root of the problem. Pope, 65, has sought answers from the Texas Forest Service, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and nurseries. Lucille Pope has started to wonder if the water has special properties. Her insurance agent dabbed drops of the water on a spider bite and the welt went away, she said. "I just want to know if it is a healing tree or blessed water," she said. "That's God's water. Nobody knows but God."

Even tho AOL has removed the data, it is mirrored all around the web. One of the WMW forum posters wrote this: " Nope, not too difficult at all for some users. I identified a poster on another another forum I frequent pretty easily by noticing searches for that forum, where his kids to to school, where he went to high school, the neighborhood he lives in, sports related searches, and a cruise he went on. It was pretty shocking to read through the search history and realize "that's so-and-so".

Generate one here ...oh wait, it only makes a ticket STUB. Remembering the Atlanta Pop Festival ...26 yrs ago. The 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival held in Byron, Ga. marked the end of the large-scale festival era. This historic event produced three live albums, a Jimi Hendrix movie and one of the most sought after concert posters ever produced. The artwork used for this lithograph is from Version 3 which had the finalized band lineup. In addition to the bands listed on the poster, the festival featured Poco, Rare Earth, Bob Segar, Mott the Hoople and Grand Funk Railroad which had made their debut only one year earlier at the 1969 Atlanta Festival. I remember seeing this poster in shop windows on Highland Street in Memphis and thinking....I need to go to this !!!!! So I did.

Today's Miracle: Man in Calif sees Jesus in his shrimp. There is a slideshow and a video of it ! A California man believes he has seen the face of Jesus Christ on a shrimp tail. Two photos of the tail were e-mailed to the San Jose NBC affiliate, KNTV.The man wrote that he wanted to share with viewers a smile and a sense of hope. He claimed that when he finished his first shrimp, he disregarded the tail, but then looked at it again and saw the face of Jesus.The writer said he believed it was a sign, as he's currently going through a nasty divorce. But, obviously he is not familiar with THE God Hates Shrimp WEBSITE

My VW Thing does not have a gas guage. I had been running around in it for a few weeks and had no idea how much gas I had left. Pulling into the Chevron, I figured I'd add gas until the nozzle shut off to get some idea how much of the 10 gal tank I had used. It shut off at 42 cents worth of gasoline. I wondered if that were accurate, so I adjusted the position of the handle and tried again, I could only add 6 more cents worth for a total of 48 cents. I think I will be driving the Thing more and more now that it is proving to be reliable. I stayed pretty close to home in it at first. Remember the old VW Bug TV commercial where the guy hollered out the window "2 pennies a mile"?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?

According to CNN , Several blogs, including a number which accuse the media of distorted coverage of the Middle East conflict, said photographs from Reuters had been doctored. Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after a review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. The two altered photographs were among 43 that Hajj filed directly to the Reuters Global Pictures Desk since the start of the conflict on July 12. An immediate inquiry began into Hajj's other work. It established on Monday that a photograph of an Israeli F-16 fighter over Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon and dated August 2, had been doctored to increase the number of flares dropped by the plane from one to three. Reuters ended its relationship with Hajj on Sunday after it found that a photograph he had taken of the aftermath of an Israeli air strike on suburban Beirut had been manipulated using Photoshop so...

HOME SECURITY SYSTEM 1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots. 2. Place them on your front porch, along with a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and your NRA magazines. 3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine. 4. Leave a note on your door that reads: Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood. Anyways, I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

So far no email has arrived saying anyone wants them. Guess there are too many copies around. They claim to have 1.8 million titles listed now. If someone wants your CD, and you mail it off in the provided envelopes they send you ahead of time, then you get to go pick one that someone else has. Also, my free T-Shirt has never arrived even tho I got an email saying it was mailed .... When I get around to it, I'll list more CD's. You just have to remember where they are in case you get asked to mail one out.

At over 333,000 showings by Sunday nite, this controversial YouTube video is one of the most viewed. A tiny little movie making fun of Al Gore, supposedly made by an amateur filmmaker, recently appeared on the popular Web site YouTube.com. At first blush, the spoof seemed like a scrappy little homemade film poking fun at Gore and his anti-global warming crusade. In the movie, Gore is seen boring an army of penguins with his lecture and blaming global warming for everything, including Lindsay Lohan's thinness. But when the Wall Street Journal tried to find the guy who posted the film "Al Gore's Penguin Army" — listed on YouTube as a 29-year-old — they found the movie didn't come from an amateur working out of his basement. The film actually came from a slick Republican public relations firm called DCI, which just happens to have oil giant Exxon as a client. A separate video covers the Misuse of the Linux Mascot

Sunday afternnoon I participated in a call for extras in the filming of an Ocean Street music video at Lulu's. Fun. The Atlanta band is made up of some smart fellows, a Vandy grad, one from Rhodes (Memphis) , and one from one of the Ivy League schools (I forgot which), an AA baseball player. They were good. I chatted with a guy my age from Atlanta who was putting them all up in his Perdido beach house for the weekend. Look for me in the crowd on MTV I suppose, turquoise top & black sun hat. They played the same song over and over, and it was play-acting, the microphones were just props the director kept reminding the band. The music really came from a little walkman looking CD player that one guy turned on and off over and over, that youc an see in the photo. They filmed w/ the band on the outside stage in the Lulu's kids sand play area. The director wanted lots of clapping, hooping and hollering, and hands in the air. The mini-crowd was cooperative. It was kinda hot, ...

Google has begun alerting users whenever they click on a search result that may take them to a dangerous Web site. The new feature, which had been spotted earlier this week, goes live officially Friday, according to an announcement from The Stop Badware Coalition , which is collaborating with Google on this effort. When users attempt to click over to a Web site considered to be potentially dangerous, Google shows users an alert page that informs them of the possible risk and gives them the option to click back to the results page or continue on to the questionable Web site.

I had wondered why the last couple of days that the osprey in my tree would take off flying when he'd see me approaching at all...usually he'd let me get really close. I saw this morning that there were two ospreys in the tree ! One took off when I approached, camera in hand, the other one stayed put,eating his fish. That explains it....it has been the 2nd osprey in the tree the last few days,not 'my buddy'. My osprey is still out there eating, as I type this, but he other one is flying figure 8's along the coastline of Little Lagoon. My osprey stops eating every once in a while and CHIRPS at the other one (or me :o) Photos taken in the morning are back-lit and look like silhouettes.

Well, he has been around a lot lately. First photo he was in his favorite tree but took off flying when I walked too close. Second set of photos, early in the morning, he was eating in a tree very close to the house. Last phootos are from about 6 p.m. tonight. He was in his favorite tree but flew off to a piece of property a couple acres away.
