Arrrrgh!
I hate it when I go to EFX and it's down again! I wonder what the excuse is this time? maybe this is another hint I should just give this whole blogging thing up!

The big game
Well today is the day that football fans have been waiting for. To be totally honest....I'm not even sure who the teams are. I watch it for the half time show and the commercials.
Every year they seem to hype up the commercials. The TV talks about how many millions of dollars are spent on the ad space. Every year I watch the commercials and hope I won't be disappointed. Most times the commercials are ones that are already airing. I guess I would expect advertisers to make new ones given the fact they spend so much on them. Maybe this year will be different.
I also watch for the half time show. In past years there have been a few good ones, ZZ Top was my favorite so far. There have also been a few duds. I'm hoping this year they don't try to squeeze to much into a little bit of time. I would rather hear the whole song, even if It's one I don't like, then to hear bits and pieces of several songs. It's almost like the half time show tries too hard to please every one by doing snippets of all genres....just pick one and stick to it!
The Super Bowl is the perfect show in our house. It's also the only time the TV stays on the same channel for any great length of time. Usually hubby is flipping thru the channels when the commercials come on when he is watching TV. Today that is not allowed.
He gets to watch the game uninterrupted. I will get up and get the pop, chips, let the dogs out....while the game is on. He will do it during the commercials!
Next weekend is my "super bowl" The Westminster Kennel Club has their dog show! I'm rooting for the St Bernard!

Not again!
Looks like EFX is down again. I'm not sure what to do. I love it there. the people are friendly and there is a real community there. Here I just feel like I am lost in a sea of other blogs. MySpace is just to big and I don't know how to use it.
I don't like setting up more blogs. I don't like having to maintain more then one, but it seems like I will have too. Blogging is to important to me to not have some place to go and vent.
I know Keith tells everyone that his service is free and we should quit bitching about the down times, but I trusted him when we were told Martin was the cause of trouble when it crashed the first time. Now Martin is back in the picture and it looks like it has crashed again. At least i can't get on it this morning.
I thought the money that PD and a few others (myself included) donated was going to solve this problem. I didn't have money to spare but I contributed what I could. I had a blog at a pay site that I didn't like as much. I quit that one to stay with EFX and gave Keith my money instead of this other place. Now I am feeling like I was taken advantage of.
I know I don't know enough about computers to do this kind of stuff on my own, but I just want to find a place to blog where it isn't so complicated and I can make my blog my own. I also would like the place to be there when I need it.
I guess i am off to fins a new home away from home. I hope I can find every one again. I hate this lost in the wilderness feeling!
