Much Ado About Nothing

I translate all day - have writer's block all night. Should I be squeezing in blog time during the day like my compadres? My fave tech writers write their blogs, for sure, to get their creative juices running before they go back to that big hunking Installation Guide. Sure beats falling asleep on it!
I put a backdrop of Paris on my laptop - not exactly torture, but close.
I am just out of original thoughts, dried up, kaput.
I am still as excited about Freecycling but I now also go on a BB and they whine and complain and frankly, they aren't that inspiring. I did find a few good links on crafts - how to make a really cute sock puppet (they have you buy the socks and cut them up, though. It sort of defeats the purpose). Another one on ladybugs - we get regular invasions but now I know it's because the house faces South.
Once you know why things happen, they stop bugging you. That is an interesting fact. There. That is my thought of the day.

Freecycle

I came across the coolest invention. It is a community on the Internet who rally around the common cause of giving away stuff they no longer want or need. There is no exchange of money. You simply post info on what you want to give away (old magazines for kids' projects, electronics, CDs, anything) and wait for someone in that group to step up and say they are interested. This has been going on in my little town. I just joined last week and have been very excited about the opportunity. I answered a post from someone giving away CDs I liked. It turns out a friend of mine had posted it! Small world.
So instead of getting rid of stuff, I am actually getting more. That was not my intent... To read more about the organization and see if there is one in a town near you, go to:
