Check out this information. When you have a blog, you also have a page for statistics that will show you how many people clicked on your page that day, where they came from as far as what site they came to you from, and also a map to show you where in the world your readers are located.
Don't get excited, it doesn't actually track your identity as far as I know. I mean, I am not the government. Never think it! ( I am not saying they track your pages, I am not saying they don't. I let you make your own decisions. Just never count out the fact that even if they are tracking your pages, someone would have to go through all the data they collect in order to figure it out. I think we all know the odds of that happening in our government, don't we? hee hee hee) But back to your ID's, I didn't set it up that way because, well, honestly I don't care that much about your identity unless you interact with me and I get to know you, in which case I hardly need that information anyway.
So, these are my stats from today so far. People in these countries have clicked on my blog today:
United States 119
Australia 2
Germany 2
France 2
United Kingdom 2
Ireland 2
Russia 2
Singapore 2
Canada 1
Cameroon 1
Pretty interesting at the very least. Now, I can account for the 2 in Germany, probably, but beyond that they either get here from other blogs that I follow and comment on or they find me be searching specific words.
Also, I have to admit, I'm pretty sure that a few of these countries probably have government employees that check on lots of things everyday, just to keep up on what's on the down-low, if you get my drift. Let us not forget that I am almost positive I am on a Domestic Terrorist Watch List, due to my patriotic postings, mostly on FB. I am proud of that and invite anyone to check out my blog at the smallest whim. You never know what you will find, and if you suffer from paranoia, you could spend days wondering what is in "code". LOL
Nothing is in code, my dears, but I hate to discourage government employees for actually working. Besides, it keeps them busy and out of my hair, and I'm paying for it anyway. Might as well get my money's worth!
So, does anybody know where Cameroon is? I didn't even realize it was a country, but then I've been behind ever since the conglomeration of what I knew as "Russia" became 12 or 13 different countries....that is how far behind I am and you know what? I figure why learn them now? They will probably just change again and all us old folks can just keep calling it Russia, then when we are interrupted by some young person currently in the "know", we can just shrug and say "whatever".... It worked for my grandparents and I plan to stick with the program. If you are still curious about Cameroon, google it. It's by Nigeria and at least 1 person there today took a chance and tuned in. Probably for a prayer, but who knows, maybe they are looking for a gun to buy also. Prayers and guns are a winning combination, known the world over. NOW.
The other way they can find your blog is by searching keywords. This is pretty hilarious in my case, most of the time. And that was just the times I believed them. Once it said someone found my by typing in "digging out ass". It was one of those times I chose not to believe. But it was probably right because I had just done a post on Digging Out after the blizzard, so maybe it was true. At any rate, I'm sure whoever it was didn't stay long. At least that is my hope. Just as you never know what you'll get when you come here, you never know who you might run into here......
*Shudders*
So far, so good.

Listen to Adam, guys!!
For years and years, when my male friends would talk about some girl/woman who they admired for her physical beauty, usually on full display, I would say something along the lines of "She is someone's daughter. Someone's most treasured child. They probably pray for her all the time."
And my male friends would reply "Why do you ALWAYS think that???"
And I would ask "Why don't you EVER think that????"
And they would blush, look at the ground, scuff their toes on the floor, and such filth would cease to flow from their mouths.
To be fair, these "treasures" were often making very good money from all the "admiration", as is their right, within certain boundaries, in certain zoning parameters in certain cities.
With that said, I could kind of excuse it before we all had children. After that, I brought out the wooden spoon. If no wooden spoon was available, I used my hand, flat against their chests. They (usually) took it like the men they were.
I thought maybe "it" (maturing, viewing children as children instead of sex objects) only happened to women.
It is my great pleasure to tell you that I was wrong, and now I have proof!!
Please take the time to read the following article, which is very short.

Adam Carolla has written a book. May I just say how refreshing it is to see this man again now that he has had children? I remember him from a pretty horrible MTV show that he did with Dr. Drew, called Loveline. From what I can remember, I was appalled at the show at the time, and that was when I was still young. From what I can remember, Dr. Drew shone as the thoughtful and practical "good guy".........but I would not have guessed, at that time, (or perhaps that "age") that Dr. Drew was such a wuss as to call someone to change a tire. In his own driveway! That is just embarrassing, and would be even to me, a mere woman.
For shame, Dr. Drew. Even I can change a tire, sir. (slapping you on each cheek, with leather gloves)
Just to prove it, I can tell you that it is possible to put a tire on backwards, making your car seem to just "lock up" at the very moment you think everthing is all right, even if it is 3am. That is something you wouldn't know if you had never even TRIED to change a tire. Just to be fair I will 'fess up to the fact that probably, if you have changed a tire and put the new one on backwards, by that time a cop has stopped, and rather than know how to change a tire, he knew how to call a wrecker, and how very nice the wrecker guys are, at least in Platte City Mo. I mean, you can hardly even blame them for laughing. It is pretty funny. It is quite possible that two girls would have figured it out on their own, without all the "help" from a certain city cop. But that's neither here nor there. We didn't get raped or anything either. I guess it all evens out.
Not to get on Dr. Drew's case, here. I have a lot of respect for him still, and have learned a LOT of horrible facts of life from his Celebrity Rehab. But I must say, now, at this time, (or perhaps at this "age"), he does not strike me as a man who can change a tire. He is the first one on the list to call for a herione addict or a crackwhore, but not to change a tire. How sad.
What is this world coming to????
And who would have ever thought Adam Carolla would turn out to be one of the adults, let alone a good man? You can tell he has had children. I am hoping he had at least one daughter. At any rate, I am certain that his mother, at least, must be VERY PROUD!
I can only hope he will get the attention of men everywhere, inspiring them to put down the hair color, forget about tanning and be men instead. Otherwise, I don't even know where this is all going to end up. It's about to scare me to death as it is.
Now, that is what I call hope!

St. Theresa's Prayer
So many times we associate prayer with wants, needs, bad things. Switch it up sometimes and just enjoy the moment. Believe that there are no mistakes but that a plan is in place. It can be hard sometimes. I like this one for times when nothing has gone terribly wrong lately, or even it it has, that I am not alone or lost.
Here is a short history of St. Theresa, who was very young but had a very strong will.
http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=105
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God..
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing,
Dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
