Yes and no. Yes, I have a ton of 'em ready to go... okay, so not so ready, but in the works, plus a few updates PLUS updating the blog. That is going more slowly than I hoped since I lost Miss Mayhem.
Ya know, I like not doing the Facebook Thorazine shuffle anymore, but Miss Mayhem (aka Mirabeth Silver) is not feeling the love over here in Googleland. She only uses Google for her email, but the other day she said she hit the +Mirabeth in the upper right hand corner by accident and found out that Google has decided that her name is not real.

That's right, my friend is a ghost, a specter, a nice frozen popcicle treat - but not a person. Her 'profile' (which she'd never seen nor used) was suspended pending appeal. She was supposed to send them info showing people she interacted with and where, like Google couldn't find her on their photo map or something. She didn't do anything since mail is all she needs and she got a second notice saying her appeal had been denied. She is NOT real.
So my Puff-The-Magic-Dragon friend has been looking at a bunch of other names that people use and kind of, well, whining about it. Can't blame her. Here are some actual names (partial, I don't want any trouble now) appearing on Facebook (and to get those accounts they have to have an email somewhere so... some have to be from Google):
Gamegirl
Mci
Villagelife (this actually is a LOT of people - in different forms and spellings)
Lordof Sin-City (I'm not worried about that one - come and get me)
Crazygamingaddict
GamesOnly
Olv Mtn Candy Crush
Theris Sunshineandhopeforever
I don't think Mirabeth has too much to worry about.
What? Oh yeah, the movies. I've mentioned that I'm trying to become an artist, yes? Have you ever watched a how-to video with a teacher that assumes you totally already know what he's talking about when you've never done it before?
We're not talking about Bob Ross, the gentleman with the 'happy little bushes' that we used to love to watch him paint so effortlessly. We're talking about a know-it-all dude whose lessons so far have taught me that I am a total blithering idiot. I've gotten as far as a blueish sky, an oval ground and some shady holes. I think he's having us draw a moon. It certainly isn't a person. Sigh.
Also, someone on my empty Facebook page (she's still a friend, I just don't see her stuff) mentioned on her page about a new internet program for "free" learning on how to write computer code. That is something I've wanted to learn, being stuck at home a source of income would be nice. Just a little hitch though. You learn for a month, decide what you want to learn (anything from programming apps for Androids to your basic C+ stuff), and THEN you pay them money. The amount depends on how MUCH you want to learn and how fast. Huh, what a surprise.
So for now it's back to bed with my stiff and overtaxed self, finding a nice "You're real to me sweetie" card for Mirabeth, and hopefully some good bad stuff coming to this blog near you....Oh, and seeing how we're approaching 91,000 readers, let me say in advance that it is an honor and a privilege to be able to write something that somebody somewhere is enjoying, or at least looking at. Thank you!
