Oh, thank goodness you were talking about another Crabby Old Lady! (Not that I’m not one, mind you . . . )

I thought I was a pioneer on the no-music front–thank goodness it’s becoming a movement!

I really enjoyed the short film, and crabby ladies peeves. I know what you mean about being an artist. Love to create, but it doesn’t pay the bills(thank goodness for my husband). I’m also a doll artist and that is even weirder than being a painter or a sculpter. But I digress.

Hey..was well in the funk and haven’t done any taxes… feeling better due to an extended bunch of sunshine , but I definitely hear you.

Great film. Love the comment about the Music… I Think We’re all Bozos on This Bus had a great rant about it this morning too.

I can so relate. At least people in art get to enjoy creating. How many 9-5ers can say that? Paying bills is over-rated.
And I must say, while I also dislike blog music, I am guilty of the punctuation and capitalization offense! Shame.

Music on websites, I have the exact same reaction. And when taxes get done around here I am sure I will be in the same funk - realizing that I broke even on my yarn purchases or something like that. Yipee.

Oh yes, music on websites–why, why, why? When I first started selling on Ebay about 10 years ago, people would put music on their auctions and the help board I frequented would explain over and over how it was probably hurting their sales, that many people just exit. I particularly hate it when it’s about 1AM, I’m still sitting up enjoying some late night browsing, I click on a blog link and music starts blaring because I’ve forgotten to turn the volume down on something I was listening to earlier.

The dating pages is a good point, and something I’ve neglected to do on my own website.

I’ve been in a funk since January ended, just generally, and don’t quite know why, and it seems it’s everything. I have years of bookkeeping to catch up with, and I hate that type of task. Hence, I’ve been procrastinating.
And that doesn’t help my anxiety at all. Can you say vicious cycle? At least you got yours done, congrats!

Taxes will make anyone cranky! That’s why I leave them to my husband!

Heh. I read her list, and aside from the capitalization and paragraphs thing, I think every single one of them is fixed either natively by Firefox or by a plugin I’ve installed. It’s a wonderful thing, except when I’m fixing someone else’s computer and I try to use their web browser… not only do all of those things invariably come up, but now my tolerance for them has eroded. My mother in particular is accustomed to hearing me scream “GAAH! MY EYES! HOW CAN YOU USE THIS THING?” as part of the computer-fixing ritual.
