New look

I hope the new look is ok. If it is too hard to look at because of the black and white let me know. Have a happy New Year!!!

Interesting quiz....

I found this quiz at Traci's blog.

I went and took this quiz and I was a little shocked I have to say. I thought that my score would be higher.

You Are 50% Likely to Survive Another Great Depression

Even though you may not be expecting the worst, you're the type of person who prepares for the worst. You live a relatively modest life. You don't overspend, and you aren't very materialistic. You are also quite self sufficient and independent. You have many useful skills. You can take care of yourself and those you love... which is crucial to surviving another Great Depression.

Could You Survive Another Great Depression?

My computer has been sick.

I had last posted about our new president and was wondering why I hadn't gotten any comments. Well, when I just checked my blog, I had gotten comments! I never got the e-mails telling me that you all had commented!!!

I had a BAD virus on my computer that Microsoft had to help me get off. I ended up having 335 infected files!!!

So I want to say I am sorry that I had not published your comments. I will check my blog from now on instead of trusting my e-mails.

Hope you all have an AMAZING weekend!

Maybe????

I think I like what I have put together. I wanted to see what all of you think about my new look.

So leave me a comment and let me know!

Have a great week!!!!!

Blogging Etiquette?

Hey everyone!
I have been blogging for a while and there are still some things I am not sure how they work when it comes to blogging. I never want to offend anyone or do anything wrong. So I was wondering if some of you would like to post comments on here and share some rules of blogging maybe?
One main question I have is ~When I have someone post a comment and ask me a question, do I answer their question as a comment on my blog or do I go to their blog and answer them?

Any other rules or tips would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

You are an amazing inspiration to keep on keepin on no matter what hand you are dealt in life.

Thank you for helping me to not take life for granted!

All of you ladies are wonderful to me and have all had a hand in changing my life and I think you all deserve an award for it!!!
