Karen’s Opinion

A cowboy, who is visiting Wyoming from Texas , walks into a bar and
orders three mugs of Bud. He sits in the back of the room, drinking a
sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the
bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, “You know, a mug goes
flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a
time.”

The cowboy replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
Arizona , the other is in Colorado . When we all left our home in Texas ,
we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the days when we drank
together. So I’m drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for
myself.”

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same
way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars take
notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second
round, the bartender says, “I don’t want to intrude on your grief, but I
wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.”

The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a
light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.

“Oh, no, everybody’s just fine,” he explains, “It’s just that my wife
and I joined a church and I had to quit drinking.”

“Hasn’t affected my brothers, though.”

I write this blog because I like to write about my life. Someday maybe one of my friends from my childhood will find me through this blog. I check to see if people can find my blog by trying it myself. Search engine submission is the usual way people try to find something. I try to use tags that fit what I write about that way if someone looks up a topic that they remember me being interested in, they are more apt to find me. I also submit my blog to a lot of directories. When you use a directory you can look for websites by category. If they look under crafts or hobbies they will probably find this blog.

The Manhattan Service blog has all types of information about directories where you can submit your website. He also has tips for webmasters. There’s a lot of valuable information for promoting your website. Offering website promotion and advertising is a major focus of his blog.

Anderson Cooper’s show 360 degrees will be very interesting to watch tonight. He has been traveling to New Orleans many times since Hurricane Katrina hit. This time he will be interviewing a man who’s film director wife was murdered. She was gunned down in their home. It sounds like the violence has increased in New Orleans.

Also being talked about is the incident with Don Imus. All sides of that issue will be talked about.

It sounds very interesting.

I am freezing. I’m sitting here with a blanket wrapped around me. When I’m not typing, I have my fingers wrapped around a hot cup of coffee. I wish I could say there was a fire going in the fireplace but we don’t have a fireplace. After my shower I will be putting on jeans and a sweatshirt, warm socks and boots.

Boots? Yep. It is April 12, 2007 and the weather man is calling for snow flurries. I am sick of cold weather. I want to see my flowers come up and not get their blooms burnt with frost. Waaaahhh! whine whine whine

At least I won’t feel bad sitting at my computer making money online. I’m looking for that silver lining.
