Hello, Blogging Buddies!


Well, my recent blogging break
has concluded, so here I am again!

I did lots of things on my break
which you will learn about in due course
via various posts to come over the summer.

I did take a road trip for part of that time --
can you guess where?



Yes, that's right -- my home province and old stomping grounds
where I used to live until moving to Edmonton 30 years ago!

The provincial sign is located at the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border.
It depicts the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg
which is one of the places I went to in the city.

And of course, the Bison is the symbol of Manitoba.
This sign comes from a Tim Horton's en route,
so that's why it says "Always Fresh" in the breezy sky.
They mean the donuts, not the bison!

I visited some old friends, went to some
new attractions built since I last lived in Winnipeg,
revisited some of my former neighbourhoods
and favourite spots, and had a very good time!

And boy, do I know when to get outta town --
the day I left there was a tornado a few hours later
in a small community near Winnipeg.

Luckily, no fatalities but here's a look
at the ominous clouds gathering --

Summer Break


[Art by Jan L. Waldron]

Well, everyone, summer's here and I've got
places to go, people to see, and stuff to do!

So this blog will be on hiatus
until mid-July or so.

Behave yourselves until then!

Oh, who am I kidding?
I know you people!

Have fun and see you later!

News About My Other Blog


In December, my other blog -- Beautiful Woman of the Day -- went on hiatus
because its daily posts were getting too much for me to handle
in addition to my increased posting on She Who Seeks.

However, for any reader who is interested,
posts on Beautiful Woman of the Day
are going to resume today!

But instead of being every day,
posts on my other blog will now appear
twice each month -- on the 1st and on the 15th.

Some months there may be an additional post
to mark some special occasion or event --
like International Women's Day next Sunday.

You can quickly go from She Who Seeks
to Beautiful Woman of the Day
simply by clicking on its button
found on my right sidebar!

This Year's Halloween Costume Reveal!

"The Bug-Eyed Creature from the Cataracts Lagoon" --


So I had my cataracts surgery a week ago. Thanks for all your well wishes on my last post!

Because the surgery was done under general anesthetic, the doctor did both eyes at the same time. I had to wear these plastic eye shields for the first day and then every night while sleeping for the next week. This lovely post-op photo was taken by The Rare One, who picked me up at the hospital, took me later that day for my follow-up at the doctor's office, and stayed overnight on the post-anesthetic 24 hour stroke watch.

Everything went well. Now I'm on the multiple-eye-drops-per-day regime for one month. For my eyes, the doctor did not recommend the upgraded lens that would correct my astigmatism in addition to my distance vision, so I will still need new prescription glasses to see properly once all is said and done. I'll have them by the end of November and will be able to drive again then.

This means my vision remains blurry, it's challenging for me to read or type for any length of time, and I'm subject to eye strain if I'm on the computer too long. I'm hoping to manage two or three posts per week to celebrate Halloween this month, but reading and commenting on others' blogs will still be very limited, alas. But I'll drop in when and if I'm able.

Blogging Break


Hi everyone --

I'm off to visit my sister and then when I get back,
I will be having my cataracts surgery. So I will not
be blogging for the month of September at a minimum.

I don't know yet how great a limitation on screen time
I'll have to observe during my recovery period of
October and November. So blogging may be
sporadic and/or non-existent during those months too.

But regular blogging will resume when I am able!

See ya later!

MEME CLEARANCE MONTH! Everything Must Go!

There will be a lot of meme posts this month.
Got to reduce my backlogged inventory!
So prepare yourself!







And thank you to everyone
from whom I've stolen memes
over the years! You rock!





Sorry, Jesus, but Thomas Jefferson
is the higher authority on meme morality --

WHAT? ANOTHER BLOG?

That's right!

I have now started another blog
in addition to She Who Seeks! 


It's one of those "photo-a-day" formats,
simple and quick, yet hopefully
a bit thought-provoking too!

If you want to check it out, just click here
or click its Blog Button over on the sidebar!

And of course, feel free to sign up
to follow it if so desired!

Also, MANY SPECIAL THANKS to Linda
who so generously used her programming skills
to help set up the new blog!

Another Beautiful Woman!

See You Next Month!


It's been 15 months since I've had
even a short blogging break and I'm feeling
the need for one in order to rest, refresh and rejuvenate.

While I won't be posting, I will probably still
read and comment on blogs during my break.

I expect to be back blogging in February.

See you then!

My Apologies, Everyone!


I was doing some blog indexing cleanup today and it seems the relabeling and republishing-on-the-original-date feature doesn't work on super old posts, so about half a dozen of mine got republished as of today's date. They'll show up in your blog reader list but have been taken down from my blog.

Sorry for the annoyance!

Regular (correct) posting resumes tomorrow, LOL!

See you then!

70,000 Comments!


So my stats counter says
this blog has now received

70,000 comments

since its start almost 
14 years ago in 2008.

Yowza!

Thanks to everyone who has
ever commented over the years!

And special thanks to
all you regular commenters! 



I read and enjoy every comment
that is published!

And I appreciate that all you commenters
are so civil and well-behaved.

Your comments are always 
intelligent, thought-provoking,
insightful and often very funny!

Yes, every once in awhile,
there will be a minor
brouhaha or contretemps
in the comments section --

But even that is not without its fun.


Of course, it's pretty much 
always the same commenter
behind the flying fur (so to speak)
and I think we all know who that is.


But even HRH's contributions towards
reaching this 70,000 milestone
are appreciated!
