DECORATING QUESTION
I usually have pine garlands and wreaths up.....but haven't done it this year.
I got to thinking that the garland around the post would hide the duct tape thing.....which is only noticeable if you stand in the right place during the day....::snort:: Last year we did the post, the mail box and the planters with garlands.
I also can't figure out how to get the wreaths to STAY on the windows. Ours always fall off - lots of wind. What are you all using? There may be something I've not tried...besides Duct Tape. There's no point in putting them up if they are going to fall down all season - may as well leave them in the box for the next assignment. LOL

TICKER MOVEMENT
Two out of three are moving the right way! ::snort::
I'm going to have to go back to using paper tracking of the Thin Within Principles this week. I didn't last week. I would think I'd internalized the principlines. Obviously, I'm going to need a bit of external help to get through the Holiday Season....with its variety of chocolate options. LOL
I also think I may need to consider a digital scale - one with BIG bright numbers.....I can barely see the scale and am still not sure I got the numbers right. Our last digital couldn't take the humidty of the bathroom.....of course with a digital scale I don't have to worry about one of the darlings moving the dial and seeing it over 60 lbs on weigh in day!!!!! Hmm...which is best...digital or dial????

COMMENTS
Someone explain this to me again - what is the benefit of having comments set to moderated? I thought it was so that I'd receive an email and not miss comments some make further back than I read. This has happened to me and I feel bad when I don't respond to something someone says....but I've had the blog set to send me comments for WEEKS and it doesn't. Today I set it to moderated so that I'd be sure to see all the new comments...but there are so many. I don't have time to read them all and then go to the blog AND comment back...is that what you all do? OR am I missing the purpose of the modertated thing? I've only had two comments to delete in a year.....one was "iffy" and one called me a liberal something or other because they didn't agree with my interpretation of a Scripture....which if they'd said that nicely, I'd have left the comment but they swore at me. LOL
Has anyone found a way to be alerted to comments so you don't miss them without having to approve them all? I'm setting this back to normal for the time being because it seriously stresses me out to see a page of comments I need to approve....I'd rather simply go read them and respond at the blog. LOL
Also, since I'm writing a senseless entry about blog comments....does anyone else have problems with those string of letters you have to type in? I get it wrong 70% of the time on my first try! ::blush:: I've recently uped the magnification of my reader glasses but it irritate me to need them. LOL
