July 15, 2020 Herb 25

When I decided to do this weekly award I never really expected it to be so hard. Well, okay, I kind of did. I only read or look at blogs that have captured my attention for one reason or another. I am Continue Reading[...]

Throw-It-Back Thursday – Responding to 1871

July 9, 2020 Herb 20

No, not the year, but rather a story that was posted on the award-winning blog, Weave A Web. He has a great blog full of stories, many of which have twisty, O. Henry-esque, endings. That is, if O. Henry had written for Continue Reading[...]

Award Winning Wednesday – Petra at Erratic Engineeress

July 8, 2020 Herb 40

Again, this week’s selection was difficult to make. I read a lot of cool blogs of a wide variety of genres, none of whom need an award from me for validation and my criteria for choosing a blog for this award are Continue Reading[...]

Reciprocal Blogging

July 5, 2020 Herb 12

Sorry to those of you who saw this pop up in their WP Reader the other day and then had it go 404 on them. I was tired and instead of hitting “save draft” I hit “Publish.” I started this post a Continue Reading[...]

Award Winning Wednesday – Intro

June 30, 2020 Herb 12

The other day I gave a special award to the Dumbest Blogger. As I got to thinking about it after a while, I thought I could, in fact, create a blog award of my own. Not all this complicated nonsense with click-back Continue Reading[...]

Curmudgeonly Monday

June 29, 2020 Herb 9

It is one thing to see and visit with and make goo-goo eyes at your 9-month-old grandson when his mom is healthy and you can hand him back at those times when, as the patriarch of the great Thiel tribe, you suddenly Continue Reading[...]

A New Award

June 28, 2020 Herb 10

I was at The Dumbest Blog Ever – Stupidity on [Stare]oids and read his 12-word post, knowing full well that I hadn’t written anything for today yet. So, I pressed his “Reblog” button and I share with you the friendly post with Continue Reading[...]

Stapler

June 27, 2020 Herb 2

Found this in the archives dated 8/22/00. A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day Continue Reading[...]
