Archives for September 2006

Finally reviewed!

September 26, 2006 by Tricia

A very long time ago, ok maybe last May, I submitted my site to be rated over at Bloggy Award. Now, several months after I changed this blogs domain to feverishthoughts.com my site has been rated.

My site was apparently rated last Thursday, if you’d like to read the article and tell me what you think you can find it here.

I thought it was pretty good as ratings go. He must have gone to the original site of this blog (http://triciaswaterdragon.com/blog ) and didn’t pick up on the fact that it had changed domains when “it took him to a new domain when he clicked on a link”.

I can’t find any kind of link on the Bloggy Award site to e-mail him and let him know that the link should be updated to my new domain, and that my sidebars roll up now, so they hopefully look a little less cluttered. I just did that last week, don’t you think it looks a bit better?

If you read the article of my site come back and let me know what you think of it.

__________________________

I’m being stalked! No, no it’s not my old lady neighbor Sofie this time. Well, yes she still continues to stalk me by knocking on my door or calling me each day if she doesn’t see me at least 5 times a day. No this time it’s another blogger!

Shelli from Shelli’s Sentiments has fixated on me this week. I don’t know if I should be honoured or scared? I think I’ll go with honoured and pleased since she’s saying such nice things about me over there. You should check out her site if you haven’t been there recently. She’s really sweet and I love her site. She’s also the winner of the Compassionate Award from the Blog Emmy’s. She deserved the win!

_________________________

Another person you should go visit is Doctor Mom. See that square thumbnail of her site in the left upper corner of the page? yep, she’s my renter this week. She’s renovating her cul de sac – thanks to someone called Mr. Fab who wants a bigger lot on the street, and she need a place to stay. The idiot of the week has been chosen. Go on over and see who it is, I’m sure you’ll get a laugh when you do, the photos are Hilarious!

It also turns out that she likes baseball – the Minnesota Twins I think. Speaking of baseball, my hubby and his dad when to the Blue Jays game last night. They beat Boston!

So go on over and vist Doctor Mom at You’ve got 2 B Kidding would you? Let her know that her favorite landlord sent you. I just know you are going to love her site.

You’ve got 2 B Kidding

September 25, 2006 by Tricia

I’m at it again. I finally decided to rent out some of my extra space to a deserving renter. I don’t think I’m going to rent every week. It’s a lot of work the way I tend to do it, but we’ll see.

I decided to rent out to a very creative blogger this week. The site appears to only be about two months old. I love the site design as well. Very easy to navigate and pleasing to the eye.

Yada Yada enough already, so who did I choose? Why it’s Doctor Mom from You’ve got 2 B kidding.

She’s got an interesting poll up on her site – pick your favorite idiot of the week from a group of four. Oh man that was a hard choice to make! Why don’t you pop over there and see if you think any of her choices should make idiot of the week?

The other worthy contenders for a piece of my lovely real estate were, in no particular order:

The Paranormal Blog – An interesting site that talks about hauntings, ghost sightings and other paranormal activities. Worth a visit, some of the stories are just fantastic. Oh yeah, and their from my own lovely city of Toronto.

Slightly Drunk – They just got satellite TV and there’s a big dilemma to resolve!

Am I famous Now – Wishing life were simple. It’s not, just when you think it is everything changes again.

Forever 17: She’s renting her space too and has a nice introduction for her renter, and in another post she’s dealing with an idiot.

Pathological Indecisiveness – Also pimping out their roommate in the current post. Lots of small posts on the first page to browse.

It’s Click and Comment Monday. The goal of click and comment Monday is for visitors browsing our blogs to visit either our current renter or another link from perhaps our blogroll. Once you visit the renter or your chosen link, visit that persons renter or someone from their blogroll. Leave comments as you go. Try to visit at least 5 sites in this manner, spread the love.

Please leave a link and a comment if you are a Click and Comment participant, oh what the heck – anyone can comment!:

Scabiosa

This is a photo of Candy Tuft. I planted seeds in my front flower bed, oh, 4 years ago and it keeps reseeding itself every year. I had originally thought that this flower was Scabiosa, but once the comments started coming in I realized that I’d made a mistake. oh dear!

Lynn, thank you so much for nominating me for the Blog Emmy award of Excellence. Wow. I’m not sure I really qualify for that one, but as the cliche saying goes “It’s just nice to have been nominated.” and it’s true. Thank you!

If anyone wants to vote for me … Lynn nominated me for the Excellence Award (design, writing, friendship etc). I’m up against some stiff competition so I could use a vote or two.

I nominated several bloggers in the various categories. (Mr. Fab (I was first Fab, Dutchie snuck in while I was writing my nominations), Shelli’s Sentiments, Lifecruiser, SugarFused, SugarSnaps, Bloggingchicks and TnChick.)

I just wish there were even more categories or awards so that I could have nominated more of you. There are so many great blogs out there, and wonderful people behind those sites too.

You have until 6 p.m. today to nominate your favorite bloggers for awards or to vote on those already nominated. See my last post for a link to the Blog Emmy Awards.

Is Bin laden Dead?

September 23, 2006 by Tricia

Bin Laden There are reports in the news that state that Bin Laden might have died in late August in Pakistan due to a typhoid infection.

True or false I don’t know:

CBS: Bin Laden Alive or Dead?

France, US, unable to confirm report bin Laden dead

So what do you think? Are the rumors real this time round? After all we’ve heard it before haven’t we?

I’m pretty sure that this won’t make any difference in Al Qaeda’s agenda even if this is true. Do you feel the same way?
