Happy Leap Day!

(from my Face Book page)

Leap day
Main article: February 29 (Wikipedia)

February 29 is a date that usually occurs every four years, and is called leap day. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure, because the earth does not orbit around the sun in precisely 365 days.

My husband, the COMIC…




My husband has resisted the world of computers!
 (resisted - resented- relentlessly!! HIS 3 Rs))


However  has,  in spite of all, picked up some computer speak…so he ain’t fooling me a bit with this show of total ‘unawareness’ of the term - ‘BLOG!’


In my excitement over the fun I’m having with MY OWN BLOG I recently asked him,


“Charles, if you had a BLOG, what would you put on it?”


 Without a moments hesitation he came back with …


“Watkin’s salve!” “But I don’t need any - I’m Healthy!”


…insinuating he didn’t understand my question… didn’t understand what I meant by BLOG…pretending he thought I meant some skin blemish or some such thing!!


Luckily, I have a good sense of humor or I might read more into this!
....
 “But I don’t need any - I’m healthy!”   :)

Age-old questions.....

~ Some Weighty Questions~

If a tree falls in the forest with no one around to hear,

did it really make a sound?

~~~

 ... and a more important question  than the above

(if you can grasp that possibility...)

;)

~~~

If a lady writes a funny blog and no one comes to read it - is it , actually,  even  the least bit funny?

......What's more puzzling.....does it even exist?

And lastly ~ will this lady continue  in her silly endeavors?

~~~

Answers  to all the above:

Yes-Yes-Yes- and Yes!

Nick Names_ (Still trying to find 'The Real Me!')

Nick Names

I was just thinking of all the names I've been called over the years...

WAIT!! I don't mean THOSE kind of names- just the fun - nicks that most of us pick up along this long road of life.


'JunieRose' is my most recent one. I used it posting to blogs here, awhile before I decided to open my own blog site! 'June', of course, is my real name (my middle name) and I added ROSE because I LOVE roses!


As a child my MOM called me 'JuneBug', not surprisingly! My little sister called me 'SISTY' for many years!


My Daddy had a hard time giving up the name they first used for me...'Laquita'...a name my Mom, with her romantic nature, found in a book she read! It was a name I HATED as a child. (because nobody else was named that...and besides- no one even knew how to pronounce it properly!) When I started school I insisted on being 'June!'


'Juniper'was given to me by an online friend over 3 years ago...(June was taken a little further- if you can follow the logic! :) ) I rather liked the sound so started using it as my SCREEN name! It has served me well! This same friend is BIG on nicks and now, mostly calls me Gator! (because I live in Florida) I have been
'Queen Juniper' or 'QJ' to some friends on a message board I visit - also 'JB' by one friend (short for June Bug) and - 'Kiddo' lol- Maybe this a putdown because of my ADVANCED YEARS! :)


Early in my marriage My husband called me many different names- 'LJ'(my initials)
'Mama Goose' (I hope not because he saw me as a SILLY goose- but just the MAMA of the house)... & 'MOSE GOOSE' - who knows why!!...and often just 'MAMA!'


In our family circle - grown kids - grandkids - sons-in-law even friends of our kids etc- and often by extended members of both sides of our family- I am 'Ginga' and my husband is 'Gabbo!'
These names were given to my husband and me by our first grandson! We wanted to be Granddaddy and Granny but our Dan decided for himself what he wanted to call us!
SO- of course, that is who we became. (for these past 20+ years)


I was 'Ginga,' online, too, for awhile....but have been 'Juniper' for the past 3 years! And now,'Junie Rose!' I feel comfortable with those names!


The family (grands ) these days, mostly call me 'Ging' and my husband'Gab!'




SO- if I sometimes seem confused in my ramblings here...


could it be that I am still searching for The Real Me?

A Big Mess!!

  Now if this ain't being silly I sure don't know what is!!!

I just spent the past couple hours trying to fix a  big mess  with my blogs  of my own doing and of which I don't know HOW exactly I messed up- Nor do I know HOW I finally fixed it!!

You see- what happened was like this... I have been getting some blog comments in what I took to be in Chinese ...and, of course, I couldn't read the language. I clicked on 'something' thinking it would convert the text to English so that I could read it! What it did- in fact- was change my template-and everything on my profile  to all Chinese!!! (well, I'm assuming it was that language- but how would I know!!!) 

Oh man!!  Try  figuring something out on a page with symbols that mean nothing to you!! What a headache that was!!

  I was this close "-" to deleting all 7 of my blogs and getting back to 'Real Life!'

How I was able to get back will remain a mystery to me-forevermore!! I could not retrace my steps if my life depended on it!!

 From now on, if I get comments in a language I can't read, I will just have to delete them (I do know how to do that!!) and never again make an attempt to convert to English! 

...Such is the life of Junie Rose!
