Bloggy Goodness, Indeed!

Firstly here?s something about me, so you know who you?re dealing with:

I?m a 40-something female who works from home as a website developer. I?m happily married to a great guy, Redman*, and I have two step sons, Derwood, 13 going on 8, and Zack, 15 going on 25. I live in a small city in Canada which I think is the greatest country on Earth, and vote Liberal or NDP as the occasion warrants but NEVER Conservative. I also have a Fine Arts degree, enjoy doing handwork like knitting and needlepoint which saves my sanity and my pet peeve is people who don?t pick up after themselves, especially their SOCKS. I love reading, good movies, and watching just about anything on the Food channel (except ?Top 5? and ?Emeril?). I am a self-proclaimed geek which means I also like shows like Buffy, Star Trek and CSI.

*All names changed to protect anonymity.

Secondly, why I don?t have a feedback/comment form:

OK, this is my ?blog and I make the rules. I?m not really doing this to invite dialog. This is where I get to post my thoughts, observations and opinions. Other people can post their own opinions on their own ?blogs. Some of the things I might post here might cheese some people off, I?m well aware of that. But if you don?t happen to agree with what I write, making attacks upon my personal belief system isn?t likely to persuade me to your point of view. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but think twice about sharing yours with me if all you are going to do is call me a terrible person because I don?t think the same way you do. I?ve read enough ?threads? on enough online forums to know how these things degenerate into mudslinging.

If you MUST contact me, you can send a note to happyblogger@bloggy-goodness.com, but be warned that I won?t even bother to read posts that contain ALL CAPITOL LETTERS, or which berate me for not agreeing with your political views or religious beliefs or your moral code, etc. If you disagree with a movie or book review or want to give constructive criticism on my writing style or even offer friendly advice on a dilemma I?m facing, I?m happy to read and possibly respond to intelligent comments, but please, no personal attacks. Also, be warned that I?m a confirmed atheist, so please no proselytising for your favourite deity, you?d be wasting your time anyway.

Compliments, of course, are always welcome. No one gets enough of those in a lifetime, I say.

P.S. I wrote the code for this Blogging tool, if you ask nicely I will share it FREE to anyone who wants, but you must be somewhat familiar with PHP and MySQL. Other than some intital instructions there is no technical support, sorry.

Like, can you read English, even? Why do you keep leaving your stupid coments here?
