Get Connected!

In recent years I've really grown to love reading in natural light when it's available.

And as for rest I've heard of a 20-20-20 technique, where every 20 minutes at a monitor, you focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Reminds me of a SNL skit. Anyone remember that one.....the lady keeps saying "it's better" and how everything she has is better.

I don't recall that one. I wonder who played the lady?

Actually that reminds me of the "I'm a Mac... I'm a PC" campaign, which is maybe just a little more subtle than that. I think Apple really plays on personal image. I've jokingly accused one of my socially savvy friends of living in an iPod commercial.

Orry, I understand you think a 250 word blog post is too long to grab the reader's attention. However, my recommendations were first most from a SEO perspective.

I suppose many blog sites may have shorter features or even ads to interest those of us who aren't likely to read longer posts, but we could certainly be drawn to the sites because of the keywords in the them, right?

A great way to tackle reader attention span is to write list posts...they can be read faster, and as most text is in points, is easier to read and scroll through.

I don't know about stats, Orrymain, but I know that Stumbleupon has gotten very popular. (Just know for my article submissions, lol).

It just comes down to a personal preference. That is ok, it just gets annoying when someone is trying to "sell" you on what they have because theirs is "better".

I am guessing that short breaks would be necessary as would proper lighting. My eyes get tired faster in the evening,esp in front of a monitor.

ok... it has just happened again after i posted the above.. weird..

Another thought - Would it just be a matter of replacing a burner or two on the stove, or is the problem more involved than that?

Otherwise, I think you could do spaghetti in a crock pot with a high setting, but I bet it would take a long time, and it may be tricky at first.

yep... night owl here too Orrymain. Hubby is a lark though... by around 10pm he starts yawning and snoring through the movie, then he is up at dawn bright as a button...

dontcha just HATE that?

LOL, sounds just like my house. Hubby has slept through so many movies...with me telling him the ending in the morning.

true taggart...you finally can't depend on a machine for your spellings...and grammer...sometimes I make errors while typing like 'on' instead of 'or' or something like 'off' instead of 'of' these are mistakes that the computer can't understand as the words are correct....so it is upto my proofreading that I rectify the errors.

I tend to get up around 7 AM even when I don't have to these days, but I used to be a bar musician and I'd stay up late after work.

Come to think of it, I guess I'm a little surprised how much I've changed after those late night years.
