Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read my blog and emailed me with their comments and support! Thanks! So far nobody has said anything about my bad grammar and faulty paragraph placement which makes me like the comments all that much more. It also makes me want to keep writing when I know that someone is reading my silly stories and using them to procrastinate at work. When I had a real job any distraction from my actual work was a welcome one. So, for all you apathetic workers out there, this blog's for you!

Thanks again and maybe someday I will figure out how to work the comments on the actual blog so you don't have to send me a separate email!

Luckily I ran into a friend who was taking a group of students to the cooperative and she was kind enough to let us tag along. Pastora Gutierrez is the founder of the coooperative (the woman on the left in the photo below) and has taken the rugs an...

How long between posts before Blogger cuts you off?

It has been a long time since I have posted and I do wonder, how long does it take until Blogger boots you off the system for inactivity? I'm defending my dissertation in less than a week and looking for employment, so essentially I have been boring with nothing to post about. Hopefully within a week I will be a Doctor (but one who unfortunately cannot prescribe medicine), and in the next six months I will have some sort of job, then the posting shall resume!
