Twitter this.
Tue, April 28, 2009 @ 2:19PM
Over the past week, I have heard the word "Twitter" at least five hundred times. Granted, The Soup, a clip show on E!, played a montage of people saying the word. I'm fascinated by the craze. From what I understand, Twitter is a social mini-blogging site. A member connects with other members. Each is able to post short status updates in real time. For example, if I was on Twitter right now, I would make a post that says: "Lydia is blogging about Twitter for the Times Observer" Although I am fascinated with the craze, I don't plan on giving into the technological temptation. I already have a MySpace page and a Facebook account. Why join another? To me, the social-networking craze is comparable to the chat room craze of my adolescent years. I remember having screen names on several chat sites. I was barely able to keep track of them all. For me to join Twitter, it would suck more minutes and hours out of my life.

The Trickle - Ducks and Volleyball
Fri, May 1, 2009 @ 5:37PM
Ducks I've already blogged about the ducks. They sit around our parking lot. They don't get too excited when a car gets close to running them over. I'm starting to feel guilty for not being loud, obnoxious and crazy toward the ducks when I'm close. Maybe if everyone ran at the more domesticated ones, flapping arms and making horrible sounds, the ducks would lose their level of comfort in human society and wander off to a more duck-appropriate lifestyle. Of course, I would be acting like an idiot, would feel like an idiot, and I'm not sure it would help. I guess I probably won't be seen any time soon running around like a chicken with its head cut off after ducks. Anyone who feels compelled to do so, I back your decision and applaud your dedication to the duck cause. Volleyball update There is a volleyball tournament coming up. I believe it will be held on Sunday, May 24, at Sheffield High School. Format is mens and womens fours. Yeah, my information was ba.

Bread
Tue, May 19, 2009 @ 6:26PM
Yep. I know I haven't written anything in a while. Well, neither has J.D. Salinger, but it hasn't hurt his sales. I'll get right to the point – Bread. By all accounts, it was one of Jesus' favorite things. He fed hundreds of people with just a couple loaves. He gave it to his disciples as a symbol of his body at the last meal he shared with them. Although the Bible doesn't specifically relate it, he probably was adept at making it – I mean the old-fashioned way, not mystically. I like it, too. Actually, I wish I liked it a little less, because it is a major contributor to the enemy that lives in my waistline. I'm not talking about that mushy white stuff that you roll into a ball and throw at carp. I'm talking about all the great — make that GREAT — breads of the world. I know of no culture on earth that doesn't cook up some form of bread. I have been making and ruining bread for years.

What I think, I think I know.
Tue, June 9, 2009 @ 1:20PM
I'm not ready to circle the wagons yet with the Pirates. Yes, they traded Nate McClouth to the Braves. But I'm not upset by this trade. Why? The Pirates have someone behind him in the minors who will serve as a more than capable replacement. So, the Pirates received three players, and promoted Andrew McCutchen to the bigs. Andrew is a supposed “five-tool” player who can do it all. In case you've missed it, he's hitting .400 since being called up and barely missed the cycle last night against the Braves in an extra innings loss. The Pirates also have picked up a starting pitcher, who when he's called up this summer should push Ian Snell and Tom Gorzelanny to either pitch or get off the pot. Charlie Morton is the young man's name and he was 7-2 for the Braves AAA affiliate with 55 strikeouts and a 2.51 ERA before being traded. If Charlie can throw some strikes, Pirates fans should be happy.

Mower Mad
Thu, June 26, 2008 @ 2:09PM
When will you finally say the price being charged for a gallon of gasoline has gone too high? For me, it depends on the circumstance. Where do I need to go? If you ask me while I’m filling the gas tank to go visit my granddaughters in Rouseville or Michigan, my answer will be it can’t go too high. I’ll wince as the numbers spin on the pump, but I’ll pay it. I won’t like it, but I really like who’s waiting at the other end of my trip. But if you had asked me last Sunday, I would have screamed, “Enough already! Stop ... I surrender!” What was my “tipping point”? Filling the gas can for my mower. My 2.5-gallon gas can. The gas can that sucked in $11 worth of gas. The gas can THAT DIDN’T COST $11!!! I can remember not too many years ago stuffing $3 into my pocket, grabbing the same gas can and heading out for a refill ... and anticipating returning home with some change. Then I needed to take $5 ... and then $7.
