Learning new stuff -

I like to learn new stuff -

It’s FUN -

Except for some computer stuff -

Which can be more frustrating than fun at times -

But be that as it may -

While I was NOT blogging lately -

I learned a whole lot of stuff - ;))

I learned that I could NOT blog for a whole month -
AND that my followers would still follow me -
Thank you - one and all - ;))

I learned that my blog “Pageview Stats” are virtually meaningless -
AND that the bulk of my “Audience Stats” are from Russia -
AND that they are not REALLY “Pageviews” at all -
BUT just “bots” -
Also known as “Referrer Spam” -
AND that they are not actually viewing my blog -
AND that I can’t stop it -
BUT that I simply have to ignore it -
AND that I should NEVER click on ANY links to ANY “Referring Sites” -
Just to be safe - ;))

I learned that if you get a new subscription to a magazine -
You are usually offered a free issue -
AND a free special gift edition of something else -
BUT if you already subscribe to that same magazine -
You don’t get anything but a bill for the subscription - ;))

I learned that some magazines are available “digitally” -
“For my convenience” -
So that I don’t have to wait for the paper version -
AND so that they don’t have to print it and mail it to me -
Saving them $$$ -
AND I get to print it myself -
Using my own printer paper and ink -
Which costs ME $$$ -
In addition to the subscription price - ;))

I learned that some magazines publish “original” blocks -
AND that some of those same blocks can be found in EQ7 -
BUT with a different name and different colors - ;))

I learned that when I buy a new die -
I can pretty much guarantee that a short time later -
That die will go on sale for MUCH less than what I paid for it -
AND that 10 points for a review amounts to only 20 cents -
So FIVE reviews is a whole dollar in reward money -
Wow - what a deal - ;))

I learned that my husband’s email account was hacked -
AND that his “contact list” was stolen -
AND that the hackers sent an email -
To everyone on his “contact list” -
BUT the joke is on them -
Because those of us on his “contact list” -
Know something that they don’t know -
We know that he died last year -
AND is not likely to be the one emailing us - ;((

I learned that any month that starts on a Sunday -
Will have a Friday the 13th in it -
Like tomorrow -
If you do the math -
AND I think that that is pretty cool - ;))

AND I learned that I can get a whole lot more sewing done -
If I could/would stay off the computer - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
