The symptoms from my allergic reaction last night didn't last too long. I will be calling my doctor to make an appointment with an allergist soon, and I'll report back the findings.
I need to post two or three of my "learn something new" entries each day if I'm ever going to get caught up. All I have to do is edit and move them from my notepad into my journal; I'm just always busy with other things. Oh well!
Not much going on here right now. Our weather has been rather cool for the past few days, but very sunny and nice. I plan to get yard work done tomorrow, and the kids are going to help me, although they don't know it yet.
Update on the RSS feedreader -- I love using it! I don't miss my AOL alerts at all, although I was afraid I would. I kind of weaned myself off at first, then I fell in love with the feedreader service. I still have my comment alerts on aol alerts, and there are a few journals that I couldn't get a feed from, so I still have them on alerts. Anyone have any idea why that would be so?
I am using Google Reader right now, which is simple and very easy and pleasant to use. I have read that some people don't like it and have trouble with it, but so far it hasn't given me any problems. I thought it would be a simple one to start with, then I could try out a different one later if I wanted to.
I love that I can see at a glance who has updated and how many entries they've made; I can scroll down the entries, and only open the journals when I'm going to make a comment. I really believe it has made my journal reading a faster experience, and I like the layout in Google Reader. I've been behind on journal reading all week, but I haven't felt stressed about it. I don't see the alerts until I open up the reader, and then the way I am able to categorize all the journals I read, I don't look at them with dismay, but rather with anticipation. I also have my favorite news sources on there, and I like that much better than getting email alerts or putting them in my favorites and then having to click on them. I can browse the day's news easily and only open the stories I'm interested in reading.
Well, I guess that's all for now. I may be back later this evening, but probably not. I think I'll go visit a few journals now and catch up on some other things.
I hope everyone has a great and beautiful weekend!

I'm glad the allergy thing is ok. I've taken some ibuprofen today and am itchy. But I took some Benedryl so now I'm just sleepy.
I wish I could sit down with someone and figure out things like rss feeds and photobucket and other things. I can't get squat from reading. I have to have someone show me. Grrr.

This sounds like something I could use - could you please e-mail me and let me know the When, What's and How to set this up - It would be greatly appreciated!
ktkamanski@aol.com. Thanks a bunch and as always, Take care of you and yours!
Lori,
I use a feedreader for news websites and the like, it is great. You probably can't get a feed off private journals.
I love it too! And I have you to thank for helping me learn to use it! As Guido said, if the journal is private you usually can't get a feed off them. Glad to hear your allergies are better! (Hugs) Indigo
thanks for the heads up on google reader. i'll have to check it out! have a great weekend, lori.

Thanks for the review on the RSS service. I have been toying with the idea of trying one, too and you have helped me make up my mind. I'm glad your symptoms did not last long and it is good that you will consult your doctor about them. Thanks for this useful info.
