6 Things I Learned This Week-#73

A Book With No "e"

Kathy from the Junk Drawer shared about a novel, "Gadsby," written by Ernest Vincent Wright without using the letter "e." I find that amazing since "e" is the most used letter in the English alphabet! Here is the link to the post about it at The Writing Pages: "An Entire Novel Without The Letter 'e'."

Blogger Linking

By accident I discovered that in Blogger if you put a link in the box under your post title when writing your post, the Link Within posts are the ones on the other place that you linked to. When I found the inspiration for posting about my piano experience, I copied the link to a draft post until I was ready to write it and forgot to take it out. When it posted, the link within posts at the bottom were all from the blog I had linked to. When would you ever want to link your post title to something else?

TV--The Bachelorette

At www.abc.com under The Bachelorette is a tab for bachelor cheat sheet. You can actually print out a copy of all the bachelors with a little space for notes next to their pictures. It gives you their occupations and hometowns too! This was very helpful to me when I watched the first night they arrived. I can never keep them all straight.

Stripes In Grass

Do you know how the baseball parks have such nice cut grass in stripes? In the PLAIN DEALER this week the secret to how to get the stripes was revealed. There is actually a special device called a Lawn Stryper that can be attached to the back of a walk-behind mower. It can be purchased at patternyourlawn.com. Gerard said he doesn't want to spend $80 for one though because our yard is too small.

Pet Finder

I noticed the Pet Finder search widget at The Beaded Tail and just added it to my blogs. We used it to find our wonderful dog Abby. If you are thinking of possibly getting a pet, give it a try. You can search by pet, size, breed, zip code. So many nice pets need good homes. Ours have enriched our lives. For now it is in my left sidebar under the books we are currently reading.
