Funny the World

I don't have a clue how many people who were regular readers of Funny the World in its old format will find this Blogger site.

After weeks/months of grieving over losing the ability to create pages again...and forgetting how t o upload them if I did create them, I decided to try a Blogger and I'm finding I am very happy with it.

"Funny the World" was not a valid email address, but funnytheworldcom.blogspot.com was so I could still kinda keep the original name and I'm finding a lot I like about this new site.  It's easier to write--don't have to do a lot of creative stuff, which I liked, but I'm learning to like this too.  Once an entry has been posted, it is SO easy to correct or add to it.  And it's easier to add photos too.

So, all things considered, I'm happy with the change, and hope that long time readers will find me.  If you have been a reader and are now reading here, please leave a comment!

Something else that I just discovered yesterday.  I have been very upset at losing the program, which Peggy gave me, which allows me to cut something from an on line picture.  I've been trying to work around it, very unhappily.  But then I was looking at the commands on my screen and saw the scissors here.  I checked it out and that's exactly what it does -- it's called the snipping tool and you just click on it and you can get a snippet out of another picture, like  this one, which I could not copy, but could snip.  (The  thing to the left of the scissors is the temperature...no need to check a weather site)

This is Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek) from his new program on Apple+, The Reluctant Traveler.  It may be my new favorite show.  Levy confesses he's not a traveler.: has no desire to travel, doesn't enjoy exploring and, all things considered, sounds like me in thinking of travel.  But Apple somehow convinced him he was the perfect person to do this show.  I've seen 3 episodes so far -- Lapland, Costa Rica, and Venice (looking forward to his experience with elephants when he visits some place in Africa).  It's just such a fun show and I recommend it to anybody who has Apple+.

Levy says, in interviews, that his problem is that in all of his career, he has never played himself.  He has always had a character to play and he wasn't sure how this was going to go, but I'm loving it.

Our internet has been off and on since last night, probably because of the storm that blew through here , but I'm hoping it's back for good now.

Because of the storm, our driveway is too damp and they can't pour the concrete they planned to pour tomorrow, so the new pouring day is Wednesday, if the rain holds off..
