Public Service Announcement # 2
It was a strange week. It was the 1 year anniversary of a good friend's untimely death, I also found out a friend of mine from grade school has cancer too (as does her brother and sister) although I got good news on the tumor shrinkage, I've had a cold for the past few days and I am having some side effects that are now effecting my feet, not to mention some BS that the internet can breed that just plain old bummed me out. So f-it I say. Life is too short, I want this to be what I intended it to be, someplace to have fun and give some useless information. Which brings me to the second part of this post. I've wanted to blog about this for many months and since I have nothing funny to post, now is a good a time as any. I think many of you are aware of this, but I know some of you are not. There are these things called site meters that many people have on their pages . The logo looks something like this sucker, or they can be hidden so unless
you look at their HTML code, you may not know that the Blogger is tracking who goes to your site, how long they stay, where they came from, and where they went to. I think it's pretty cool in a way and I have actually meet some people by seeing who visited and then visiting their site and the rest, is blogger history. It also tells you what OS they are using, what browser, etc. It's also bad is you are of the ilk who likes to leave annonymous comments then split. They may not be as annoymous as you may think. Not only can you view who came and went, but so can anyone else. You stats are available to the general public. So, in all fairness and to make a level playing field, I just want everyone to know that I have a meter installed, which means if you are into sex with baby porpoises (and you know who you are, unless that was me - yikes), I may just see that you had visited www.sexwithbabyporpoises.com before you came to my site. I rarely even check the meter anymore, but it's there.
Now back to the regular crap...

I'm glad you're back, Phil. I love the new avatar.
Sitemeter can be addictive. It's best to just ignore the silly thing, but they're good to have.

Thanks, I recharged fast ;-)
The site meter was cool at first, but then I lost interest in it. I'll check once in a blue moon now mainly to see what different parts of the world people are visiting from.

No Chloe, you actually get demerits for visiting and not saying anything.
It obviously means that you think I had a crumby post ;-)

Well, in all fairness, you cannot relate the stats to a particular blogger. Only the referring URL. It might have been someone else who clicked on your link on some blog and followed it here.
Guess you don't get this very much ;-) So, if you see it, you can be sure its me!

Sex with baby porposies ROFL.....going to check it out now...er I mean never to check it out (wink)
I love my tracker. I check it sometimes and giggle at a few of my friends who are like me and check my blog but then have to get up and leave the computer. I do this all the time and one of my friends even called me when I was on her blog...so in case you see me here for more than oh say...maybe 5-10 min just know you were the lucky one of the day that I happened to camp out on when called away from the computer lol
