I Love The Oregon Coast

When I lived in Reno I of course met lots of people from Oregon they would come down for the week and gamble and I worked with Thelma who was from Coos Bay and she was always showing me pictures and I fail in love with the place and always vowed I would go someday, but I didn’t think it would be under bad circumstances.

When Thelma and her husband decided to divorce after 40 years she was devastated even though they had been separated and she asked me to travel with her to get things in order, but she didn’t want to stay in their old home because of the memories even though he had moved to a very impersonal hotel. Some people like hotels, but Thelma and I looked for something that was more homey and private so we had checked out the oregon coast rentals before we took off and I am horrible with directions, But I think we stayed on the central coastal and Coos Bay was North.

All I know is we had to travel quite a distance, but it was beautiful and she didn’t feel like being that close to her old stomping grounds while all the details were being worked out with the settlement anyhow. She didn’t have to be right there and she needed time to heal and I feel horrible for being so selfish, but I loved every minute of Oregon we didn’t feel obligated to be friendly and nice to people in the hotel and we came and went as we pleased without people watching our every move.

Now years later my niece married a young man from Oregon and if I’m very lucky we will be invited to go along the next time they go to visit his family and I know exactly where on the Oregon Coast Bill and I will rent and I know it will not be an impersonal hotel, but the charming rental that Thelma and I occupied so long ago.

My Eclectic Woes And Bothersome Issues

This has to be the most boring template I have ever seen. I don’t mind it because I love the colors I use, but for visitors I’m sure there is no interesting contrasts and besides that since I upgraded awhile back with wordpress nothing seems to work together and when I use video the template crashes even when I use div tags and make the size smaller. It’s very irritating and ugly.

Also because I am using the Kontera control, I have so many more compliant issues then I had before. Way too many errs for me to correct unless I get rid of the control and I don’t see me doing that in the near future so I guess my SEO will definitely suffer even more. I think I will look for a 2 column template and see how that goes since I now know how to use the text widgets. I am not very technical as I have mentioned numerous times.

Well lets see what else is bothering me today. I know there’s a program that I was involved with awhile back and it seems they were very shady, yeah I know what’s new this is the internet. However they were taken over by another company and at last I was getting some use out of them all the credits that I had and couldn’t sell were at least finally starting to be useful with their search engine. So instead of using real money I could use those to get traffic.

I started seeing actual traffic a few days ago and it’s not like the traffic exchanges where you have to visit other sites in return, but now I received an email that explained that their server was shutting them down and they had moved and even changed their name so how fishy is that? Well I guess they could have just closed up shop. But now their promotion and search engine isn’t working for awhile so all traffic from them has stopped for the time being.

Ok I could sit here and feel sorry for myself for a little longer, but then my list of woes would get very long and I think that is enough for one day so I think I’ll go wash my dishes before Bill gets home.
