Backstory
This is the space where I tell everyone how wise, witty & knowledgeable I am, right? Well I can’t promise you that but do hope to keep you entertained (mildly at least) with some of my personal adventures (past & present). Also, I love finding new things on this world-wide-web and will share those finds as well.

Following! Lookin very sweet over here, Lynne… Nice to have you back in my inbox.
Gotta have a place to just do stuff you know…
glad to be in your inbox and vice versa..
yeah, i noticed the variety of things you’ve got going over here. i like!
Don’t be surprised if I do a post one day on my ex-Floridian friend now dodging the streets of Berlin.. things are good there?
that would be cool, lynne. things are pretty good here in berlin. i left town for 4 days, but it was pretty nice to come back. i’m gonna really miss it when i have to leave for good. how’s tampa? is nola still in the cards?
I’m sure you will miss it but what a great experience this has been for you.. Tampa is rolling along good and yes sir, nola is def in the cards..working on a few things there now.
Hi Lynne! What are those tall green things behind you in the picture of you? (I live in rural Texas…..we have no such green things that tall….) Have a great day! I’ll pop back often
Hey thanks for following…I hope you enjoy the ride.
I have enjoyed immensely reading your blog. As a writer I know you will understand if I am absent from making comments for a couple of months. I have two books I’m writing and the push is on to get them finished…so with only 24 hours in the day, I am going to continue to read and like, but my comments will be limited to replies for those who comment on my blog…thanks for the grace.
Be encouraged!
I’m sure I will and when you get those books finished and need a someone to help get the word out, you can count on me.
Fresh as a virgin page..
Thank you Ken!!
Looking forward to reading more about your personal adventures…
Welcome and hope I don’t bore or disappoint:-)

Thank you so much Maggie.. heading over your way now!!
Congratulations on the Freshly Pressed, FPP!
But I think all our posts should be shouted to the world.
Thanks GP..that was a complete surprise and yes, shout All our blogs from the rooftop!
Wow, I had no idea you were freshly pressed. Congrats Lynne!!!! I respect you alot and you’re one of my fave bloggers so I wanted to ask you what am I doing wrong with my blog? What must I do to get my blog in the neighborhood as yours and others I see up here. I know I’m a good writer, but it’s like I’m missing that one key ingredient to break through to that next level of success.
Hi-First, thank you so much for the kind wishes. Let me say no one was more surprised than me Word Press picked a post of mine. I’m still in shock. I think you have a nice blog. I’m far from an expert on blogging but maybe try these things:
-grow your readership (that means comment on blogs regularly) Follow people with like minded interests
-no matter what interests you have, write from the heart (make sure you tag your posts Word Press too)
-Do the Daily Post Weekly Writing Challenges-here is this weeks (http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2012/09/10/weekly-writing-challenge-stylish-imitation/)
does this help?
Lynne
Thanks alot Lynne. I will take all of these into consideration. I’m at least trying to get up to 50 followers and expand my Facebook page as well. I have gone back and tagged Word Press in some of my recent posts. I guess I’m just a bit frustrated.
Thanks for the help. You’re the best

Hi Lynne
Thanks for your great writing and entertaining me. As such I’m nominating your for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. My post regarding the award is at http://thecubicleviews.com/2013/02/12/is-that-good-inspirational-or-bad-inspirational/. The rules are simple:
1) Display the Award on your blog
2) Announce your win with a post
3) Present the award to at least seven (but no more than 15) other deserving bloggers and include their links
4) Inform those bloggers of their award.
5) post seven interesting things about yourself.
Thanks!
Aww shucks, me an award ..is this like a Pre-Oscar? seriously for you, I shall abide by all the rules so look for a weekend post.
thanks again amigo on the other coast!!
Anytime my friend but if you abide by all the rules I shall start questioning you. I believe rules need flexibility which is another way of saying “if I feel like it”.
Ok I’ll only do the odd or even rules.
Hey! That is crazy! I was here when you first started! Has it been a year? Wow!
I came on to read your first posts and I already had been and what the heck? It looks as if you started being popular right off the bat! You need to write a book about how to write a blog!!!!
Lets keep going! Love your blog! Glad I found ya!

Re your header, what do you mean by “occasionally does arithmetic”?
Bumba.. I detest Math..with a passion, always have always will but on the odd occasion I do some arithmetic..lol
Lynne, I have NO IDEA where that post with the dog rescue came from? that was an old post from a year ago. All of a sudden it’s on my blog again. WTF? I’m certainly puzzled over this one. Thanks for being my supportive friend and liking it.
I have now deleted it.
Huh.. what dog post? did I comment or something? I think word press is acting wonky this morning..
i just can’t make up my mind on a lay-out.. lol
Okay, phew. It said that a bunch of people liked a post called Melbourne 8. And I was like, What the heck is going on. I’ve deleted what I think it was. The last thing I posted was the reblog of the fantasy bookstore.
Wordpress can be so frustrating! Argh.
Have a wonderful day, Lynne. And, I know what you mean about trying different layouts. It’s hard to settle on one. Your blog is always cool, though.
Ps- love this new lay out.
