Notifications from the Dishwasher
My Dishwasher just notified me that it was "finished". I'm not sure how I feel about this. Do I really need to know the exact moment my dishes are clean?
This wasn't the only notification I received today. I got a few from the NYT about the comings and goings of the election and then as we were at dinner I got another notification from the front door: there was a little person at the door. This little person lives 2 doors down and wanted to play with my little person. I am okay with this.
They have been fast friends since sitting together on their assigned seats on the school bus so I guess over the past 3 days they have become BFF's. You guys, this is awesome in so many ways. First, she has a friend. We live on the side of the street with the older homes and with the older people - like her parents. 🤦
The little ones come with younger parents and live in newer houses so she's missed out on some neighborhood fun somewhat but as she's gotten older she's spread her wings some which is good. The girls eventually came inside and trashed our family room with toys. As I write this she's in the tent trying to go to sleep and I am writing this interesting tome.
Speaking of Notifications...
This is where I hit you up for money. Blunt enough?
The software I use to send this email offers an option to ask for a one time donation instead of (or in addition to) a monthly or yearly subscription. So. Because I have no shame:
And then there's the monthly subscription: At this point I really don't expect anybody to actually pay for this, but hey - it's worth a shot and just a reminder that it's there. As it stands, I'm out $11 a month to host it, so it would be great to break even. BW would think I was a hero.:
Lastly, and this cost you absolutely nothing: Buy Stuff on Amazon. When you click the link you'll get taken to another page with a button to click to take you to Amazon. With the holiday shopping season coming up this would be the easiest and cheapest way to support me/us. It doesn't matter what you buy, I'll get a cut.
As an example: somebody bought a suitcase the other day and I made about five bucks!
Enough about Money
On to fame..
I was exploring other blogs the other day and lo and behold my blog is one of the popular parenting blogs according to the Ghost Explore website. Maybe parenting isn't a popular topic because why would they feature this site with a whopping 23 readers? Don't get me wrong I value each and every one of you, but I also could send you all a Christmas cards, so I am not sure the algorithm is right.
I wrote most of this while getting her to sleep and listening to her tonies play spidey and friends ad nauseum so do me a favor and hit the buy/subscribe/shop buttons above.
Until Next Time..
TH and (Spidey) and Co.
