July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Andre the Bolg Monkey's Banana Bar / Week 3  Category 1: "Is commenting on blog entries a good idea? Do you comment or "like" on most blog entries you read? should there be a "Don't Like" option? Comments Yes, I think the comments or like on blogs is a good idea. I cannot say I comment on most entries I read. I'm always in a hurry online. It affects the way I handle comments. I try to hit at least 5 in a day. Lately, that has been less. My computer is not running so I'm working on K's. We have Hughes.net. They tell us monthly we are using too much Wi-Fi. They even raised our price a few months ago. Plus, if I could work online for cash, I would be able to have more Wi-Fi. Hughes net is prohibiting work online unless you have business Wi-Fi with them. When they put up the new satellite a few years ago I hoped the situation would get better. It didn't. I read a lot more blogs and articles, than I comment on. I probably should just hit Like if I'm short on time. Often, I don't think to do that, especially if I'm hurrying. Another thing I would like to do is more reviewing. I took the reviewing course offered a couple years ago, so I would feel more comfortable and get more done. I try to write blogs off-line and then upload them just so I stay off the internet. However, if I'm researching something it is difficult to do. This is truly a rural area. As a child we did not have a phone. Finally, when I was a teenager Gen Tel ran a line down our road. Everyone on the same line. Each house had its' own ring. It was like that for years. People complained because they could not have a private conversation without someone on the line picking up. All the rings for different houses rang into all the phones. You just picked up on your own to talk. I read a lot about G-5. It would be a great system, and everyone would have enough Wi-Fi. I wonder if it will be installed on this road before I hit the limit of my years? As far as a don't like option goes, it's a toss-up for me. I probably would not use it. At least in the USA I still feel entitled to my opinion. I also believe you are entitled to yours. Writers write. I read books I don't agree with. I don't sit down and write the news to the author. On the other hand, if there was a Don't LIke and someone sent it to me I would probably do the same thing I do when I get a poor review. Ignore it unless it appears to be sincerely relevant to what I'm writing. Opinions Matter word count:485 |
