Thanks for the lovely message! You are ...Hi, Patty!<br />Thanks for the lovely message! You are so sweet!<br />Oh my...I read your Dell entry. I feel for you. I went round & round with Dell with my brand new laptop...new in October, that is. They were not willing to replace it, but FINALLY they offered to ship me a box so that I could ship the laptop to them for repairs. So far...it has worked well since they replaced the motherboard, however, I never was satisfied completely. They should stand behind these NEW computers, especially when we pay for warranties and services...I still get error messages daily. This started AFTER the motherboard was replaced. I'm still making payments on this laptop. VERY FRUSTRATING so I do understand and wish you the best of luck with this! Great photos, as always! Enjoy the remainder of the week! I'm doing okay! Thank you!<br />Your Maryland friend, MissyMissy Trenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746006003860083547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-79012683757245385012009-06-10T09:36:42.545-04:002009-06-10T09:36:42.545-04:00bARE eYED sUN: Thanks.

We all know that time limits our ability to edit when we are blogging, so we get free passes when we make mistakes. We do have some great writers, though, and you can tell they write with such ease. Everything just flows like a clam river that knows where it's been and where it's going.<br /><br />I can write a decent feature story, but it takes me two weeks, and it has to be something I am interested in. I have to put it away for a day or two, bring it out, beat myself up for making such silly mistakes, and repeat again and again, until I find it good enough to be passed on to a copy editor.<br /><br />I would love to "write" more, but I don't have time to work on a story for two weeks!<br /><br />Urban sprawl? Could be some of it. It could be that people just don't value the printed word like they used to. It is sad, because we are trading in good investigative journalism for hyped up one- minute, stories on CNN and other cable news shows, as well as opinionated political blogs.<br /><br />People are leaning to the left or right, no longer listening to both sides of the stories (which you get in newspapers), but to one side. And having one point of view, I think, can be dangerous.<br /><br />Newspaper keep us honest. For a buck/fifty a day, less than the price of a good cup of coffee, we can be informed, entertained, and amused.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-20724233615473539652009-06-10T06:24:20.319-04:002009-06-10T06:24:20.319-04:00wow!

Patty, i hate you :-)<br /><br />you are as good a writer as you are a photographer (who knew?)<br /><br />this was a good post, it covered a lot of territory so we'll limit ourselves to two comments:<br /><br />1) well wishes for speedy recovery on your ankle. translation: slow down, girl, let it heal.<br /><br />2) Dell sux.<br /><br />3)(oops! sed too) ya made really good points about the newspaper business.<br /><br /> we've been thinking about the potential demise of printed matter in general, newspapers in particular - - - and o'course we gotz an O-pinion(s) but lets skip that for now. <br /><br />while reading your post, we remembered something our daughter, J-Kat said recently.<br /><br />back-track: J-Kat has been reassigned, in a couple'a weeks she relocates from New York to Dubuque, Iowa. by necessity her commuting habits will change.<br /><br />for the first time in her life, a car will be an asset rather than a liabilty!<br /><br />her comment was this: "i'm gonna lose my reading time, when am i gonna read?"<br /><br />apparently, with the convergence of time-squeeze, info-overload, and urban sprawl folk have designated commute-time as read-time.<br /><br />so, if more people are depending on their cars (for x,y reasons) to get to work, when will they have time to read the Newspaper?<br /><br />just a thought. urban sprawl ALSO contributes to the impending death of the printing press!<br /><br />hey, take care of yerself, luv, 'kay?<br /><br />..<br />.erobARE-eYED sUNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274024134490490172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-29088740057085425202009-06-10T01:50:18.819-04:002009-06-10T01:50:18.819-04:00Take care of yourself!

My ankle is doing better, but I feel like I need to be shooting.<br /><br />On the computer, there are so many things that could be making it shut off like that. I am worried if they don't find the problem soon my hard drive is going to be fried. I will give them one more chance. I have been a Dell customer for ten years, and have had no problems. I guess I am getting all my problems at one time.aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-48616774143677702952009-06-09T19:43:58.167-04:002009-06-09T19:43:58.167-04:00Jill: You sure have that right.

If people who worked for newspapers stayed home when they were sick or had a little headache, or a bad night, or laid out to go to a birthday party (even their own) the news would never get out. It takes a lot of people to make a newspaper, and everyone has to work together. <br /><br />Joanne: No. That is not a good sign. Newspapers have written history for us. Journalists have kept us honest. Yes, newspapers have web sites now, but there is nothing like the feel of holding a newspaper in your hands. It is like Kindle. Cool to have, but for comfort, you want to hold that book in your hands, and turn those pages.<br /><br />Rosidah: Thanks, thanks, and thanks!aurbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234712574405718245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-12014343523084817452009-06-09T19:31:20.253-04:002009-06-09T19:31:20.253-04:00Patty,

I'd push for a new computer. Of course, with all the stuff they have replaced, you might already have a new one - it would have been easier just to give you a whole new one! <br /><br />Missed you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-47058069559451229032009-06-09T18:51:49.636-04:002009-06-09T18:51:49.636-04:00Dear Patty, I hope your ankle gets better soon.

I believe it will give the outcome more soul, and that's a very important factor. News can stir the direction of people's mind. Having computer problems can be so frustrating. I hope it will get fixed soon, and all of your wonderful photos can be saved. Take good care, and have a great day :)RAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425443102217805623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-84788646511458077572009-06-09T17:34:23.609-04:002009-06-09T17:34:23.609-04:00You the ankle, me the ankle/foot, glad Crabby is d...You the ankle, me the ankle/foot, glad Crabby is doing alright...I know we love the news papers and support them all!

I've had good luck with their service, they actually sent a tech out to replace a hard drive TWO times on the same computer. But they were prompt and professional. And I agree about losing newspapers. One here, I'm not sure which one, is stopping home delivery. If you want a paper, you have to go out and buy it. Not a good sign.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539155515713685293.post-14856464107997117832009-06-09T14:03:58.662-04:002009-06-09T14:03:58.662-04:00I thought I moved quick! lOL.. take care of that a...I thought I moved quick! lOL.. take care of that ankle!
