You all know the ice cream company? Very expensive ice cream, which I recently discovered in small tubs at my local supermarket. I'd heard about Salted Caramel ice cream, with some bloggers raving about it, so when I saw the Haagen-Dazs tubs on sale for only $5 I bought some. I loved it! Fabulous stuff. Just the right amount of salted caramel streams to counteract the sweet ice cream. I would have rated it five stars. But just lately, I have been disappointed with the product containing far too much of the salted caramel and my rating now would be only one star. I went to the website and clicked on "contact us" to let them know I was no longer happy. The link popped up with an address to "General Mills" which I then clicked on only to find a small popup informing me they were "offline". Just because it is past regular business hours or permanently? Who knows. So I'm airing my grievance here instead. If this results in fewer sales of their Sa
Oh, busy busy....give those hands and wrists a break. You'll get more done if you go about it slowly. What's the old expression my mother used? "More haste less speed!" I'm sure that makes sense. Still looking forard to seeing those beautiful pics you've taken though.
ReplyDeleteI often take the lazy way out & leave them on the disc until I want them. That also explains why some of my blog posts take so long to appear ...
ReplyDeleteMimsie; it's been a while since the carpal tunnels played up, so I got careless. I'll be slowing down with the resizing. I'll have to hunt up the old wrist braces I use when sleeping.
ReplyDeleteRed Nomad Oz; I like to get things sorted and organised as quick as I can. Still, it will go faster by doing a bit every day, than if I let the hands get too painful and have to leave it all alone for months at a time.
I admire people who put together great holiday posts their blog as they have their holiday, but it is not for me. I like a week off work after a significant holiday to at least get the photos sorted and an order sorted out.
ReplyDeleteLooking at them is fun, fooling with them not so much. Remember to get those braces on for bed; they will keep you going.
ReplyDeleteI think you are doing it right. One big gulp often makes you crazy. years ago I put river stones in the gardens but now I want them gone. I can't possibly do them all at once so I spend an hour each morning at it. Slow, yes, but it's better than NOT spending an hour a day at it.
ReplyDeleteMy inflamed tendons -- and the smallish, freckled hands that call them neighbors -- feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteSlowly, my friend. Slowly.

Holiday photos, their is always so many of them but I love to relive the time again and it's the only way to do it.
ReplyDeleteMerle......
Andrew; I purposely didn't take the laptop so I could have a proper holiday, now I have a lot of catch up to do and it's going to be slow going.
ReplyDeleteJoanne Noragon; resizing is pretty quick, but putting my blog name to each one, plus sorting them all into folders labelled with the places I went is taking longer. I found the braces.
Manzanita; slow and steady is often better than wearing ourselves out in one mad rush.
Pearl; a lot slower than I'd like, but it's necessary. The night braces will help.
Merlesworld; we do tend to get carried away with the shutter button when new things are to be seen.
