I wanted to write a story about Italy before I left. But as usual I am overwhelmed with busyness.

So I will just say Arreverderci for now and will be back blogging when I return on the 21st of June. I am so looking forward to this trip to Italy, and we will be staying with Luigi's relatives. Also it's nice to know that I have an instant interpreter with me at all times. Luigi comes in handy!

Tanti Aguri.

Ciao!
Peach

As you can see, I have a new image on my Blog. Actually there are eight, and I finally learned, today, how to change from one to another! Please let me know when you view a new image what you think of it. Or just leave comments on them one at a time as you see them.

This hasn't been easy, as I really know nothing of Html , let alone just plain computer terminology. As I said before I have learned what I know today about computers, by the seat of my pants, trial and error and a little help from my friends.

I'll be leaving on a trip on Thursday and won't be back until June 20th. I have promised myself that when I return I will sign up for a Web Design/Html course so I can start doing more stuff, fix up the (now empty) Photo Gallery and also so I won't have to bug Joni any more. She's really been nice......but hey you know If I were her, I would probably say, "What a Pain! Another email from Peach with more annoying questions!! I feel like such a putz sometimes whining to everyone, everytime I have some kind of computer disaster.

So let it be known that the Peach is on her way to becoming a geek! I will be in absolute control and know what I am doing every step of the way!! (famous last words???! Will I eat them?)

I want to thank everyone who has ever helped me along the way over the past
year in my Blogger adventure. The first night when I sat down to write my first entry into my brand new Blogger template, the only thing I knew was how to type. All my "ooohs and aahs" of admiration at all of those gorgeous websites out there that I visited, only made me wish harder at becoming a geek with the penultimate 'Blog of my Dreams". And Bloggers were so nice to me and eventually linked me to their Blogs, so I linked many of them to mine.

Recognition is due to the following who aided or helped me through my clueless year:

• Tye


• Shiva


• Troy


• Sarah H.


• Joanie


• Russianlegs


• RWT


• Dave(ephuz)


• Greg


• ....and last but not least, the lady who put this new Blog together...Joni

I have a good excuse for not publishing for a while this time.

First off my monitor changed to a very bright shade of hot pink. (Very hard to look at) In other words it was kaput. The next incident was that my last entry disappeared when I went to 'Rebuild all files. I sure hope this entry makes it in. If it doesn't I am not only 'pink' but in hot water as well.

I have about 8 other stlylesheets that I wanted to display, and get some feedback as to 'favorites'. But I am going to have to study MT harder to finally get this thing going.

Much thanks to Greg for taking time to help me out.

My incredible time at Traffic School Tuesday wil have to wait for the next entry......have to fly!

Are you feeling a little ill tonight? Well, I can clue you into something, that if you didn't know by now, Reality T.V. can make you even more ill.

Luigi was 'surfing' again, and had just landed on NBC when I was passing through the living room on my way to my desk. I am not making up any of this. What I am about to relate to you, has more of an Elementary School prank, or "Anything you can do I can do better" feel to it. It is all really pretty unbelievable,scary, and down right disgusting.

The show is called Fear Factor. The stunt tonight had three female contestants vying for........ You know, I really don't know exactly what they get if they become a winner. I only know that a couple of guys at the end of the show won a car. This particular trial had the bikini clad contestant jump into a large, see-through container of about 5 feet of water. Then an enormous amount of dead rats was thrown into the water surrounding the contestant. They were mostly white rats, with a very small comparative amount of black rats. The first female contestant had to grab as many of the black rats as she could and dump them in a container at the edge of the large water vat in a certain time frame. The one with the most black rats in the container at the end of that time would be the winner. Pretty amazing, huh?!

That is not the juicy part. These incredible human beings, these enthusiastic, 'oh goody, going to win a car!' contestants, were to grab those rats with their mouths and teeth! How delicious? No?

• First off, who ARE these people and where do they find them?
• Are they legally sane?
• What does it say about our country, our culture?Can we be grateful that this disease is not widespread? How can we be really sure ?
• Do T.V. producers really believe that this is what we want? Why would they spend all that money for a show if they didn't feel it would be a hit?
• Is it scary to believe that these despicable, grimy, sophomoric and juvenile televised displays are part of the majority of the caliber of shows out there??
• Solution: Kill your T.V.
