This week in TwitterVerse: WORDS UP ~ I accidentally stumbled upon what I consider (my opinion)  PORNOGRAPHIC TWITTER this week and from what I can tell, it's fine with Twitter, it falls within their 'rules'. This is the link to The Twitter Rules and this is the only mention I found from them about what breaks the twitter rules: " Pornography: You may not use obscene or pornographic images in either your profile picture or user background" SO WHAT EXACTLY DID I SEE?  ~ While in TweetDeck last week in one of my columns of lists I saw a retweet of a picture with a reply attached to it.  The picture looked odd to me. I'm thinking 'what are they talking about'?  I clicked on the picture and there was a full bottom end (butt) picture complete with a female clitoris/vaginal area that had been obviously waxed except for a tiny thin line of pubic hair. WHAT IN THE WORLD?  ~   It shocked me that this is ok with twitter.  I went ...

UPDATE:  - Twitter this week seems to be doing another behind the scenes platform upgrade. Many folks (including us) have been struggling that our Twitter tech is not operating smoothly. ALSO - The Twitter Glitch Devil  where Twitter unfollows people for you and you do not unfollow them usually happens when Twitter is doing platform upgrades and changes. * * * THE BAD NEWS ~ TWITTER GLITCH DEVIL ALERT ~  When I am in TweetDeck I have several column lists ~ three times this week I have seen in various of those columns people tweet that Twitter is once again unfollowing people on its very own. That is to say people are not unfollowing people, Twitter is unfollowing people for them. OK, the last run time of this particular TWITTER GLITCH DEVIL that Twitter had, it helped to put major dents, rifts, and great trouble into 'interpersonal skills' including my own.  I am blessed to be following several thousand people and blessed by having several...

It is now 2012. With television shows like   My Ghost Story   and   Celebrity Ghost Stories  on the Biography Channel along with Ghost Hunters  and Ghost Hunters International  on the Syfy Channel folks seem to be a little more comfortable sharing their ghost experiences. (Or should I have said as comfortable as it gets when discussing ghosts?) Specifically, I  know I have been in contact with four ghosts so far during the course of my lifetime. Two were family members, one was a very close dear friend and today's story is about the only 'unknown ghost' I can currently recall having personally met. MURPHY'S LAW ~ anything that can go wrong will go wrong  ~   In the 1970's (thinkin' was middle 1970's ~ 1975ish)  after receiving a job offer which I accepted I moved to Central Texas.  Not only did anything that could go wrong did indeed go wrong, I was positive I was 'snakebit' or 'curs...

Green Bay, Wisconsin Image Credit:  EPA Government  Growing stronger around me on a daily basis has been the vibe of the SMUGGIES ~ the SMUGGIES not to be confused with the MUGGIES although both do have some commonalities. ~ The MUGGIES is a weather term used in Northeast Wisconsin for high heat days that come with high humidity. These days typically occur in late Spring and throughout the Summer seasons.  Air quality therefore breathe ability is usually low.  It is suffocating to be outdoors for more than brief times and when a person walks outside into it, one feels as though they have hit not only a wall of heat, it is oppressive.  Strenuous activities like running or jogging can be dangerous. (Green Bay recently had a marathon canceled after it had started for these very reasons.) Even short-term activities less strenuous like mowing the yard can be dangerous in a day besieged by the  MUGGIES.  MUGGIES can happen on bright su...

THE DREAM  ~ I am in a lovely church. I can see I am standing right behind the pulpit in the main sanctuary. There is two tall  medium skinny windows with  oval  (rounded tops) behind me in the back of the church ~ one on each side of the pulpit and they are streaming a beautiful filtered sunlight through them. I don't recall either of them being 'stained glass' , but one of them particularly I notice  has some art within it.  I think I remember seeing a blue bird, and then realize, it's a robin, the wings are blue color, but the orange breast is true to color.  It is sitting beak open on a tree branch. The wooden walls and features in the sanctuary are polished, clean & there is no dust in the rays of streaming sunlight. I am wearing a pink blush almost white blouse with short sleeves that are a little bit puffed.  Further on to my left side beyond the...

The reason for this particular blog subject is more 'serious than a heart attack'.  I want to reveal to the best of my recollection three events that transpired over the past approximately three years in our family lives that could be of present and real importance in your own current lives. Event One, Last Weekend ~  Daughter's mother/daughter together project scheduled for last weekend had been Spring cleaning the garage.  The prevailing cooler temperatures here in Green Bay, Wisconsin made that a 'not so much desirable' chore.  We began another together project by sorting through and digging out the linen closet which by chance features the deepest shelf space in our home.  My daughter handed me out a huge, heavy plastic shopping bag that rattled. She stepped off the stool and said "Let me see that."  She gasped when she opened it and croaked out an "Oh, MOTHERRRR" !!!! (She usually calls me Mama as I did my own Mama, "Motherrrr" ...
