What guys know

By -


Recently a kind reader let me know that whenever she clicks on our URL she is directed to a Bible Study site. If she manually types in irisheyesknitters.blogspot.com, she gets the blog. I do not know why this is happening. Maybe I am supposed to start going to a Bible study group. I have never been to a Bible study group. I think I was invited to one once.

I don't understand the workings of the internet as much as others. (understatement) I enjoy blogging, (obviously) and use Blogspot because it is free and easy enough for me to post successfully.

I spent some time wondering how in the world this link happened. I was thinking of renaming the blog. The fear of losing my loyal readers (all 4 or 5 of you!) was discouraging. What if you weren't redirected? The blog name isn't really user friendly anyhow. No one can ever remember it. No one posts but me and my eyes are half Hungarian you know by now. I was pondering something clever and easy to remember. Something like, tirednurseknits. My nurse friends might remember that one.

Anyhow, I asked the most computer savvy folks in the house, the young adults, that is, and zach immediately responded : "Maybe it's her computer mom."

Why is it that I always default to MY fault? Guys don't do this I've noticed. They carry that can of "blame away" we tease about. Couldn't be my fault. That's the last place they consider. Why is it always the first place I (dare I say we?) consider.

Who teaches guys this? I need some of this.

Does anyone else have this Bible study issue when they try to get to my blog. Let me know. Enlighten me. Do the guys in your life have this natural great defense too?

I link to you through Bloglines and don't get directed to the Bible site. How weird. If you do change your blog address, just let us know so we can update our links!! Oh, and I agree with you that Blogger is great because it is so user friendly.

I come over and check on you daily (just about) and have never had a problem. I get to you by opening my blog and clicking on the link in my sidebar. Don't move without telling!

Nope, no bible study linkage here. Not really sure what the problem is...I also use Bloglines so I just link through them.

Are you going to be at GROUP tonight? :)

Nope, no problems here! I've got you in my favorites and I check daily. Never seen any bible study and if i did, I'd double check what I'd typed or saved in my Favorites. (Taking the balme upon myself, of course!;) ) Hope to see you tonight at GROUP!

I have never had a bible study appear either and I check most every day. Love your blog !

The not my fault trait is a geeneral guy thing. They don't need to be taught it, it is inherited for thousands of years I am sure.

My guess would be that whatever link she was using was miscoded on that page. I read you through bloglines with no problems.

No Bible study group for me either (although I probably need one!).

Interesting point you brought up about the differences between male and female. I think that it is because of our innate (or inbred or society taught) need to be the 'nurturers'. Rather than bring pain, fault or guilt onto others we must do so to ourselves in an effort to preserve and hence nurture those around us. Sigh. It is a difficult cross to bear at times but, it is what it is and we must all try very hard to remind ourselves that we need to nurture OURSELVES as well.

No Bible Study group for me either. I've got you listed in my "Favorites" and have never gotten anything other then you when I click on your link.

I've always noticed that difference between men and women as well - a lot of times between my husband and myself. I always will say I'm sorry if something goes wrong - even if it really isn't my fault. And then when I think about it, I get mad at myself. Yes, in this case (but possibly ONLY in this case), we may need to be a little more like men and not be so quick to take the blame.

I'm the one that has that happening. When Kathy posts a message to my blog, which is on Typepad, I get an email notification. That email includes her name, her email addy, and her url. When I click on the url link in my email, I get directed to the bible study page. This doesn't happen with any other url link I receive this way, and I have no clue why it happens with this one. If you are on Typepad and get email notifications of comments, click on Kathy's link the next time she leaves you one and see what happens.

I have never had a problem either... maybe the link function in the email program is wrong?

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
