Carpet Cleaning Coping Skills
We each have our unique way of dealing with stress. My pets don't cotton to being told they can't walk on the hallowed ground of their own living room, the way God intended.

Ditbits: Tiny Tortillas
So Jim criticizes me for eating the last of the big tortilla chips and leaving him the little broken pieces. How dare he, after I've borne him three children and washed his dirty underwear for 34 years! (It's an excuse that never wears thin.)
By the way, Jim ...
Happy Birthday! I left you some broken up blue corn chips in the bottom of the bag to commemorate the day.

On behalf of my sister blog, Ask the Go-To Girls
So I think it's time to discuss podcasts, because so many of you have made comments about podcasts being too technical for you, 1/2 hour being too long to sit and listen to one, having to wait too long for the podcast to load, etc. Here are a few tips that might get you onboard.
* To listen, all you have to do -- on your computer, Iphone, Ipad, Kindle or whatever device you have that's connected to the internet -- is click on the designated podcast link. On askthegotogirls.com, go to the page and scroll down to where you see "Click below to listen."
* Regarding the length of the podcasts and finding time to listen -- They are roughly a half hour with 1 or 2 breaks. Here are some suggestions for times to listen: With earphones on your Iphone (again, just click on the site to open -- no loading necessary) or downloaded to your Ipod or other device, while you walk, exercise, fix dinner, whenever you're physically occupied for about 30 min. I listen to podcasts by schlepping my laptop wherever I'm working at home and turning it on there. You can also open the podcast, start it, and listen to it in the background while you open other tabs and write, email, play on Facebook or do whatever you do on the computer. Most of us are on this darn thing at least a half hour a day. Might as well enjoy ourselves.
* The loading process is, admittedly, pretty long on an older computer. Mine takes about 2 minutes to load a podcast. On newer devices, the wait is shorter. (And BTW, there's no progress bar, nothing will show on your screen but the Quick Time Player when the podcast starts to play. On some devices, like an Iphone, there's no downloading so it will just start to play right away. We will let you know if we ever figure out a way to lessen the download time, but for the most part it's dependent on your device.
So there ya go. I hope this gets you started enjoying podcasts. (especially the GTG's!) There are so many good ones available, it seems a shame to miss out! Good luck, we love you and happy listening!
