Seriously? I know I was a little slow getting the last one in place, but not by that much, its only been a week, less really. WTF??

Ok, that hurts…
We bought an attachment for my bicycle so we could attach one of the dogs for some extra exercise. Which sounds like a really good idea, but thanks to the wonky weather last year its been 2 years since I was last on a bike. Didn’t even bike a mile and the fronts of my thighs hurt. Sigh.
On the other hand at least for Arty its working reasonably well. He caught on REALLY quickly to the concept and seems to enjoy it, and its probly just as well I couldn’t go any further as he was definetly flagging by the end. I will say that before I hook up Apollo to the bike I’ll have to get the alternative hookup for the bike so that it attaches to my back wheel instead of just below the seat. Even 25lb Arty can jerk me hard enough that I have to correct, 100lb Apollo would pull me over….if it WORKS for Apollo though we’ll get a 2nd setup so that my husband can take a dog too.

Anybody out there know CSS?
I’m trying, again, to create a set of child theme .css files so that the NEXT time they update the theme I don’t have to drive myself nuts fixing things again. I want to over ride the font-family code, the problem is that font-family is designated in at least 10 different spots in 3 different files. Now I know I have to create seperate child.css files for each of the individual files, but I don’t want to have to do 10 sets of code for each one either. In theory:
font{
font-family:Book Antiqua!important;
}
at the top of the child file will override the rest of the font-family designations. Is that correct?
WP.com, idiots
So, my request for help on their forums (since nothing else was getting a response), finally got a response:
Since we don’t want other people to have your username in the future, we don’t delete usernames (they are kept so they cannot be recycled). For more information, please see
http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
I also see you’ve already deleted your blog(s). I do have a few suggestions for you if you really want to scrub the account:
1) You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2) To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

There’s just one teensy weensy little problem with this. I HAVE TWO ACCOUNTS WITH THE SAME USER NAME. If I log into wordpress.com using the ONE username it will randomly log me into which ever of the two accounts it feels like, this is how I found out about the 2nd account in the first place. So that whole “we don’t delete user names so they can’t be re-used” is the biggest piece of BS I’ve seen in a while.
Never mind that I never gave them permission to create the 2nd account in the first place. I sincerly hope this was done WITHOUT the knowledge of their legal folks cause its seriously stupid and less than completely legal…..
Theme updated, again
f-ing 8 .css files.
I think I got it all fixed again. I’ve GOT to figure out how to do a child theme to this…..

I do not smoke.
I have not ever smoked.
I happen to be of the opinion that smoking is one of the stupider things you can do to your body.
And when people like ME find the graphic anti-smoking ads so annoying that I change the channel of the TV/radio when one comes on, what makes you think your target audience is doing any different?

Excuse me, how much have you had to drink tonight?
That was the question I didn’t ask tonight. I considered it though. Especially when you slowed to a complete stop at a green light, and watched it sit green for at least 30 seconds, while horns blared behind you, then yellow, then red. And when you then got out of your car to find out why the car behind you was leaning on their horn and proceeded to claim to be “tired”? Uhuh. Time to go home and sleep it off, cause I’m on the line with 911 giving them your plate number as a suspected drunk driver, as well as the direction you’re headed in…..
