Rain Rain and More Rain
Feb. 25th, 2010 09:55 amWhich just about describes our weather today and tomorrow. West of us they are getting heavy snow but we are on the bubble of the warm front.
For some strange reason my facebook application for the iPhone went berserk so I had to delete it and re-install it. I took the push off too since it was eating up battery power.
Today is D-Day on the critter for the Olympic Challenge. I have the head done and the rough of the body. Now I have to break everything down to a pattern, cut the fabric and put the whole thing together. I am hoping to have it done by this afternoon with pictures to follow.
I am kind of glad that I was off the internet yesterday. There was a lot of drama in two groups that I belong to. I really think people need to take a deep breath and count before accusing anyone of doing anything on the internet esp. when there is more than one person making the decisions for the group. And, although I am a first amendment advocate like my husband, plagiarism is plagiarism no matter how much you try to gussy it up with new terms and excuses. Here’s a test, if Harlan Ellison had written what you were basing your work on, would you be willing to go into a room and defend your work to HE? If the answer is even shaded towards a negative, then I really won’t do it. (I’m talking rabid badger Ellison not friendly Uncle Harlan). As to the other matter, I really don’t care what personal history you have with a moderator, it was a group decision and we declared it as such. I didn’t chime in because I was about 3 hours late to the party and my fellow mods did a fine job at the time. Keep it up and you will find yourself in a serious time-out.
I am grateful that this is rain not snow and I’ll go on telling myself that.
