Janey The Lady: The Shorts

Janey and the Shorts

Happy weekend, folks!

Remember when I told you about how aloof Janey was with Tim for the first few weeks of bringing her home? I’m happy to report that things are much better now. Things have turned around and she’s happy to go out with him for her nightly potty now without me. Yep, I’m still celebrating the small victories.

Anyway, something funny happened a few weeks ago and I thought I’d share it with you. Oh yeah, there’ll be plenty of Janey stories to share if you’re up for it. 🙂

A few Mondays ago, after Tim left for work, I went back to my home office to get started on my work for the day. I usually leave the crate door open because she’ll usually just stay in there and nap. After a few minutes, I heard a rustling sound but figured she was simply stretching her legs. An hour later, I came out and found a pair of Tim’s shorts in the crate, under her. She’s been napping on his shorts the whole time!

I love supporting bloggers especially when they come up with products and services. It’s not easy blogging full-time; heck, I know a thing or two about it. So when favourite bloggers of mine come up with cool ebooks or other products/services, I try to jump on board as much as I can.

February Hit and Miss List

Has it been a month already? How is it that February is over? Oh right, it only has 28 days. Damn. 😛

Another month means another hit and miss list for February. These are the products I’ve recently discovered or oldies I’ve rediscovered that I like or came to dislike. It’s not a lot but there are some goodies in there. Maybe there’s something in there you’ve tried too?

All right, let’s get started with this month’s hits and misses!

Bloggie Wednesday: Of Trolls and Taking Control of your Blog Presence

Bloggie Wednesday: Of Trolls and Taking Control of your Blog Presence

If you live in Australia, you’ll probably have read in the news regarding Charlotte Dawson‘s recent passing. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Dawson, she was a television personality, a host for Australia’s Next Top Model and other TV shows. Last year, she had a breakdown after copping a large amount of cyber-bullying on Twitter. She retweeted a lot of terrible comments about her on her Twitter account. It got too much for her and she was hospitalised.

On top of that, Dawson had been battling with depression for a long time and tragically, she lost the battle and took her own life.

Now this post isn’t about her. I’m not her fan nor did I watch her shows. But I did see some of the tweets she received during that time and let me tell you, they were vile. Viler than vile, in fact. Whatever she did on the TV shows or outside them, she did not deserve that form of cyber-bullying. No one does.

There’s negative commenting and there’s trolling. Negative comments aren’t nice; hell, who likes being criticised, even if it’s for the smallest of things? Valid criticism or not, they are nowhere near trolling. Trolling is levels beyond negative criticism. It’s constant slamming down of the person, again and again on every single thing that the person does and can even escalate to death threats.

I thought I’ve seen and read my fair share of negative comments on blogs that aren’t just mine. That was until I discovered a whole new world of comments on YouTube.

Oh boy, that’s another kettle of fish right there.
