Blog Harbor Down for About 90 Minutes This Evening

MONDAY, APRIL 28
Everything is fine, now. I still think they are one of the better blog hosts. The downtime is so very low.
Site Meter is still not recording hits for The Pink Flamingo. I’m serious. According to them, I’ve not had a hit in months. I’ve tried everything. Last night I imbedded the code into the CSS. Hope that helps. I don’t know what else to try. It is picking up the other things I’m using it with, but it basically REFUSES to pick up The Pink Flamingo. You look at it and think there is absolutely no ... more »

TUESDAY, APRIL 22
John Smoltz has become only the 16th pitcher in Major League history to strike out 3000 batters. He’s now Hall of Fame bound, probably on a first ballot no less.
I was wondering if something like this wasn’t going to happen. Robert Downey, Jr. has now ruined his career. He has “outed” himself as a …. Oh dear…. He is no longer a liberal! (Suitably Flip)

BREAKING NEWS:
Baby
Palin arrives early! The governor went into labor in
Texas! She's fine. From what we've heard, the baby

they have for a beautiful new life! more »

THURSDAY, APRIL 17
I only have one post today.
We spent yet another afternoon in the ER with my mother. Her heart rate was good, but her BP was high – for her. Evidently she had some sort of an attack this AM. She heads back to Las Cruces to the cardo. on Monday. Guess that means I cancel my pedicure.
While she was in the ER her sister called. Mae Raines (aunt of one day HOFer Tim Raines) had a catastrophic stroke this morning. May went to work for my grandmother when I was 10 days old, and ... more »

FRIDAY, APRIL 11
I am only doing two posts today. I’ve spent much of the evening piddling around and making some changes. I think I solved the slow loading problems. All I did was move my TLB badge to the right column, re: Beth Cleaver’s smart advice a few months ago. Then I moved the site meter badges. I discovered my site meter was causing all the problems! I hate that thing. I’ve added a registration form, and made the RSS forms easier to find. If you have been reading TPF this evening, you may have noticed a few color ... more »

Thirteen Reasons Cary Grant Is My Favorite Movie Star
He was suave, debonair, handsome, self-deprecating, had the sexiest way of talking, and once called my sister a “lovely young thing.” He never played a villain. He was a very big baseball fan, a naturalized American and a Republican. And, most importantly, during the 1930’s while making movies and traveling throughout Europe he spied on Nazi Germany for the British Secret Service.
“…A reporter in search of information wired Grant's agent: "HOW OLD CARY GRANT?" Grant happened to read the message himself, and ... more »

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2
You are only getting one serious post from me today. This evening, when my back was turned, Doc Holiday deleted my evening post. Since I’m in a slightly vile mood, I’m not going to recreate it. I’ve been doing my usual Thursday Thirteen surfing. I am so sick of cute kids, happy home-makers, and adorable babies I could puke. The same thing goes for new age affirmations of good feelings. Bull. The blasted Braves finally managed to win one tonight. I hope they did not strain themselves. I am in a nasty mood until I get a ... more »

Thirteen of The Very Greatest of All Times(No Steroids)
Major League Baseball began another season on Sunday evening when the Atlanta Braves managed to get the world back to normal by losing their opener (as usual). I was going to do a different TT, so I will do that one next week. Today though, I am paying tribute to Thirteen of the greatest players in the history of the game, BS – before steroids.
Unfortunately MY MAN Johnny is not on the list simply because I ... more »

on April 1, 2008 09:40PM (MDT)
SICK OF JIHAD, HATE, STEROIDS & BAD MANNERS
I don’t like change. I never have, not real change. Change is losing one’s grandparents, watching a family split apart or seeing the world turn into something you do not like.
I am tired of being forced to put up with radical Islam and put a non-“racist” happy face on it. These are bad people. They are no different from any other hate filled psychopathic thugs who want to kill and destroy. I am tired of having my Christian faith and that of my Jewish friends subjugated to hate in the ... more »
John McCain, Ted Williams, Endicott Peabody, and Wyatt Earp

HE’S GOT MY VOTE
If I weren’t voting for John McCain, I would after the beginning of this ad, which features Ted Williams as a hero. Then, when we find out the teacher honored, William B. Ravenel taught at an Episcopalian high school, well, how much more could one ask? (Powerline) I gather this tells us something about who Big Mac views as heroes. Nothing wrong with Teddy Roosevelt or Ted Williams, who was a board certified war hero and fighter pilot! This leads to the old argument, just how great a ball player could Teddy Ballgame have ... more »
