Leslie Nord's Random Thoughts on Friends, Family and Life

I never was much of a writer - more like a rambler that easily gets lost in a tangent. My blog lets me go out on those tangents any time I want to. So remember, life is like a roller coaster: sit down and hang on. Sometimes you'll want to scream, sometimes you'll puke, but give it a chance and you'll find it can be a lot of fun.

Photo Gallery seems to have poofed

The photo gallery seems to have stopped working. Of course, what should I expect with software that is 10 years out of date? I will try to get it back online (assuming anyone still wants it there). The Miva Conference photos still work in that gallery so perhaps I could use that app for these. FYI, there probably won’t be any more MivaCon photos. I think I’ve lost my “Miva Princess” status after 25 years.

On side notes, I’m able to slowly stop using the back brace, the fracture is healing nicely. My poor spine, it’s had a portion cut out of it, it’s been fused and now cemented. The last “incident” has made the minor curvature a bit more noticeable. Ah, but isn’t life grand?

I’m still standing…

Should I keep this blog going?

by Leave a Comment

Whenever I have to stop by and run updates to the blog software, I ask myself if I should keep trying to update it. It’s not that I don’t have anything I’d like to “say”, it’s just that sometimes I either don’t have the time or it’s something better left unsaid. I do like my monologues because it allows me to say what is on my mind without the feeling of intimidation looming. But then I may be the only one that likes them. At one point in my life, they were very cathartic and I felt somewhat of a connection being made. Now I don’t really feel either.

I have three other blogs that are even more neglected than this one and I have ideas for another one. The one I’m pondering would be great if it could be truly anonymous but then if someone really (really) wanted to figure out who it was, it could be done probably in less than a day. That’s not just worth the hassle.

One reminder – if you call and don’t leave a message, how will I know you called?
