New Virus Warning!

I found this the other day thought I should post it here

There's a NEW virus going around...
I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus.
Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee can not take care of this one.
It seems to affect those who were born prior to 1965.

Symptoms:
1. Causes you to send the same e-mail twice.
2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail.
3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person.
4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you.
5 Causes you to forget to attach the attachment.
6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished.
7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND."
8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE."

IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS"

previous post was the last one

The last one in a series that is, all older posts from 360 put them all in on the same day and saved as draft and I've been going into each one and changing the date so they post on different days.

For those of you who visit here from 360 stick this place into your RSS feed reader there are a few choices on the left hand side there and I know some have already done it as I've got 7 readers .... I know you are there you can't hide

If you want to join me on any space you can, links to the other places I'm on are on the left.
I'll add basically anyone on MySpace who writes blogs but not non-writers.
Same as Imeem or Facebook but obviously it don't matter if you don't write on those as neither of those are real blogging spots I'll add anyone on those as basically thats all you do on those. Spose I should upload more music to Imeem and I will when I have some.
You can even join Warped if you want but I warn you its not for the faint hearted and if you aren't sure on forums it may not be for you.
Think I have them all on the left there now ... flipping hope so anyway.

You know I love Blogger though, I can sit here and write and theres no obligation for anyone to comment of course its nice when they do **hint hint to the 7 there** and there is no obligation for me to instantly rush off to theirs and comment back, not that I don't as I do but in my own time sometimes I'll mass comment on 10 at once just so I can get them in when I have the time
There is no friends list here and in a way thats the best thing about it apart from autosave which Blogger just did for me .
No friends list means theres no "he added her, she removed him, they have that person" kinda thing ..well hope not anyway.
No friends list means you don't have to visit everyone every single day and you won't get stroppy if they don't visit you
No friends list means you don't have to write for an audience of maybe 300 or more, you can write for yourself and no one else
No friends list means that you can leave your blog for months and you won't get removed for not blogging as theres isn't a friends list to remove you from.
If you don't want to talk to people who visit here you don't have to, you don't have to communicate in any other way than right here in the blog obviously you can if you want but you don't have to
All my blogger "friends" are on the side here they are all in my Google feed reader whoops some are on my reader and not on the side there have to fix that as there is nothing better for your blog than someone sticking your link on theirs ..its to do with search engines the more your link appears on other pages the more likely it is to be up top of a search ..I think so anyway
If thats not right or you want your name there tell me if you don't tell me I won't know.
The only one that doesn't work on my reader is Allissa's her blogger is private and invite only so her RSS feed don't work for me


Lets see now what did I write here? ...interrupted yet again
Oh yeah thats right finished with all the old posts now so can go back to actually writing again ........ I hope if I'm not interrupted again that is.


Oh spose you want to know an easy way to stick the smiley's in do you?
Go here on a new tab or window
Right click the smiley you want, copy the 'properties' for it
open html on the blog compose
type this < src= " "> and put the copied smiley properties link in between the " " 's
so you end up with this in the html code
< src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/6.gif"> or this
Easy peasy way easier than adding them via the picture link as blogger tends to give you as many images as there are frames in a gif image I've ended up with 10 static images instead of 1 single moving gif using the add image link on the blog editor
Oh you can add these as well The Smileys that site even gives you the code to use

Of Pens and Love

Of pens and Love .. January 21, 2007
Why is it that every single pen in the whole house is empty, I write two or three words and the words just disappear
We have a huge cloth pencil case bursting at the seams with pens I went through them all yesterday only a few worked, the ones that did where placed on my desk, on MY desk because with my memory I have too write little notes or I forget. Anyway today when I reach for a pen yet again I had too try five of them before I found one that worked by that time I'd almost forgotten what I was going too write down

Very nice pen it is too for once my writing looks neat, no I haven't forgotten how too actually scribe with pen on paper and I do spell better when I write that way it must be this dyslectic keyboard one problem the ink is a tiny bit light so I can only just read what I've written





Anyway here is what I wrote with my pen that worked

Love, what is love, a feather a fluffy cloud, an abstract feeling, soft too ephemeral too hold in your hand
love cannot be held, cannot be caged or held within four walls
can we love a car more than a person? Or is it just the unconditionally of the machine who doesn’t care what we look like in the morning that we love

The security of the steel, that cocoon that never talks back is that what we love
Always there for you never leaving only taking you too places where you want too go, totally under your control, never leading you somewhere where you don’t want too go
Can you love your car? Is it wrong too love a machine an inanimate object
I happen too love my car it's my safety place


Besides I happen too love driving too

This car of mine is my third car, my first an old Mk2 Cortina literally held together with wire coat hangers didn’t love me back but my dad loved working on it and he did all the time that was the car who’s gear stick fell off in my hand while I was driving into the driveway.

My second car my Renault 12 with it’s leather interior and fancy (for 1975) dashboard called too me, from a very small car lot in a part of Adelaide we didn’t normally go, I was meant too have that car, we weren’t meaning too stop there and the road we where on wasn’t one we normally went on but for some reason I just yelled out “stop” too my mother who was driving and there across the road in the tiniest car yard with only 4 or 5 other cars was this funny looking green car, I looked at the other Renault there, a station wagon cream colored, much more practical but I had too sit in the green one and as soon as I did I knew if I didn’t ask my mother for the extra $500 too buy it, it would probably follow us home anyway, it may have been green and it didn’t have a racing stripe or a number painted on it nor was it a Volkswagen but that car was Herbie, it loved me I loved it back I cried when we traded it in for the one I have now

The one I have now isn’t my funny green car but it is my safety place I do love it, not as much as the other one (shh don’t tell it that, it will have a flat battery on me or something) but I do love my grey grumpy car


For the 360 Writers

360 Writers Intro Challenge

Y!360 Writers
Union

Introduction challenge.

I’ve been Missy or Mistress for a long time it’s my screen name, didn’t pick it, it well kinda just became, don’t use my real name either even though some know my first name no body believes my last name anyway. I don’t use Mistress any more because of add requests from people into BDSM and we can’t have that can we

Why did I start too blog
because I love too write, get my thoughts down and then well I
forget about them till later and basically say either “you twit what you write
that for” or “where did that come from”

Do I have a theme, nope haven’t got around too photo shopping one yet … oh that theme. No I don’t have a theme I just write whatever comes too mind, looking back on my old posts I think my mind went on holidays a few times. That’s why I love challenges gives the old brain a bit of a poke wake it up a little

There’s 3 working computers here, networked, set it up myself so I can go type in the dining room if I want but most times if I want peace I just get up at 6am. One day I’ll get one of those fancy phones the ones with keyboards and then I can go sit in the fairytary’ and write

Work yeah well Blogging is a full time job for me I run 4 pages here on 360º one on My

Space and just started another on Blogger just for short stories and poems, bad
poems most of them. My web page has the really old
stuff don’t look at that it’s shocking

I’m married too the computer,
no not really I live with this big cuddly bear of a man, he drops hair
everywhere eats things he’s not meant too, no hang on that’s the dog, the
man he’s good most of the time.

At the moment I have 1 dog, 3 birds (one swears we won’t go into that one) and the large man he’s a child isn’t he? No just acts like it sometimes, my actual kids live in South Australia with their dad, one of each, one is 17 in Feb the other will be 20 in Nov … oh help that means I’m older than I thought

Note: ‘fairytary’ is my daughters (3 year old) word for cemetery, the local cemetery is at the back of our place, we have great neighbors very, very quiet

When I got a quickie comment from the
360º Writers Union the other day honestly I thought I was in trouble for being a
scab (non-union labour) or hadn’t paid my dues or something, it would have
scared the pants off me had I been wearing any … behave I was in my PJ’s well it
was something like 3am what do you expect. Anyway apart from the first reaction
(fear) I felt honored .. Me a writer? Ok if you say so I mean
it’s a union and everything so it can’t be wrong

Whoops forgot the date of the original post ..my bad smack me one

What's in a name

Visitors

What’s in a name A 360° Writers Challenge Australia is covered in things that “taste good” those are the labels that the First People gave those things obviously not the ones that the colonists gave them but everything had to have a name Australia was called Terra Australis Incognita or the unknown land of the south in latin at first. That was the label given to Australia the nameWhat's the first thing someone asks you when you meet them? What is your name. When someone has a baby, you ask what did you call it, the name is crucial to our society everything has to have a name. If I mention CocaCola you would recognize it, that’s a name brand along with Kellogs and Kraft all recognizable instantly, you can see them in your mind. (The pictures are in your mind) What would we do if that sweet tasting brown fizzy drink had been called something else maybe The Brown Fluid do you think anyone would drink it? This is where the name is important as important to the retail industry as well as consumers, they could have named Coca Cola “Tastes Like Chicken” but everything tastes like chicken, the name had to set it apart of course it did help that Coca Cola or Coke did once have cocaine in it (9 milligrams per glass) why do you think it tasted so good. So it got called called Coca Cola , diet, lite, vanilla or cherry its Coca Cola today and it still has coca leaves or cocaine in it. See a name is important you could have “sweatshop” printed on your shoes but would they still be recognizable as Nikes’ ? You could rename the Yankee Stadium to Coke Park would it still be as recognizable as the famous baseball park that it is?
