Not exactly sure what the above creature is. I'm thinking a beaver (see it's tail), but I just don't know. He is having a rather good time though.
Last night I knew I would miss the end of Top Chef so I taped it. Watched it this morning --- only to find out the show was longer than the paper said and I missed who (and almost importantly why) got elimated. Oh I'll bounch over to their web site later on but it isn't the same. I so hate it when that happens.
I am just learning a few things online that I am sure most of you already know. So I'm a late bloomer.......or whatever. I have been trying to keep up with Law & Order SVU, and if the actors that were in talks would be back, who quit, and all that junk. (hey get get bored, depressed and you find little things to occupy your days) So today I just learned about yahoo, and google alerts. I'm guessing all the major search engines have them, and maybe that is one thing I could have used AOL alerts for (but I always assumed --something you should never do-- the alerts were for birthdays, journals, etc.....).
So what am I getting to? Ok, go to like google news. (http://news.google.com/) It will pull up all the latest news. Now on the left hand side of the page is an envelope and the words "news alerts". Well duh! If I had only paid more attention to what I read! Click on the envelope and you can put in any word (about the news, tv, celebrities, ect....) and you will get an alert everytime (or however you set it up) it is mentioned in the news. So instead of hitting tons of newsites and websites trying to find if CM would be leaving SVU, all I had to do was to sign up for an alert (or two, I signed up with the yahoo news site also). How much easier could that be? How dumb can I be? Now see I said DUMB not stupid. If I had all my marbles and if I had really cared about world news I am sure I would have hit on this sooner or later. Probably sooner.
So, if you're curious they will be back on SVU. The show had be renewed for 1 more year, but the actors signed on for 2 more years. Each making a whopping 6.5 million dollars for the next 2 years.
Here is a link for google alerts: Google Alerts Can't find the one I used for Yahoo. I'll post it when I find it again.

Speaking of TV -- what did you think of the new episode of "Gilmore Girls"??? I haven't been liking this season very much, but I liked what I saw on Tuesday. I have a longtime crush on Luke.

Thanks-I am another unsophistocated computer user(better way of saying dunb, which I can claim, too)and I didnt know about this tecnique of using the envelope. I'm more likely to use it for HGTV than SVU, but that's another story. Margo
((((((((((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU)))))))))))))))))))))))That is a funny pic.lol.I am not that smart when it comes to puters.But everyone says I can type really fast.lol.Hey,is that a pic of you and your HubSAND?You look like a very nice looking couple.Have a nice weekend.
I love Law and Order SVU I watch the reruns all the time. I didn't know about those alerts either!
I have an aol alert or a yahoo/aol one? not sure, about hurricanes. so sometimes I skip it and don't read. Hadn't thought about adding alerts on my favorite show at the moment (Grey's Anatomy). http://journals.aol.com/ceilisundancer/RandomThreads/
