As others...Wayne, it does seem to be going around. As others have said, give yourself a break, it doesn't have to be everyday. I've slowed down a LOT, I only posted once this week. I was giving myself a hard time about it, but heck, it's my blog, I'll post when I feel like it and you should do the same! Brutal reading about the cops stealing from Renee, heavy sigh.<br /><br />There is some weird moon phase or something, everyone I know is feeling out of it and not particularly positive about things. It seems to go in waves, we get a few weeks of bad news all the time and we certainly get affected by it. Let's hope it passes soon and we can all get back to our normal flow.

I have to contain myself to about 800 words per entry (use to be 1000 before Global Post).<br /><br />In a half of decade I have written well over 500,000 words worth of Blog entries - that is the length of 7 average books - but whose counting?<br /><br />Also, currently slowed down to about 3 entries a week because of Global Post <i>printing</i> schedule.<br /><br />Now that we are moving to town I don't have Internet access yet there - so I am REALLY slowed down ;-( <br /><br />Please if possible don't change a thing - all the good things seem to go away sooner or later - I don't want your Blog to be one of them.Calypsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705486544074674388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-9003579238435190192009-10-01T11:44:41.247-05:002009-10-01T11:44:41.247-05:00I have a simple solution...if you've nothing t...I have a simple solution...if you've nothing to write, don't write it! Us bloggers aren't newspapers with deadlines, circulation targets and manic editors. <br /><br />I write primarily for myself. It's my online diary. Sometimes I write something specifically to share, but a lot of the time I just write it for memory's sake. That's not to say I don't like comments and conversations developing on my blog. They're great. Makes my day sometimes. But they are a bonus, not the purpose.<br /><br />Something interesting to wrote about always come along sooner or later. Enjoy the PC free time till then!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-27502898468943034612009-09-30T19:56:58.928-05:002009-09-30T19:56:58.928-05:00Wayne, You don’t have to publish every day.

I still probably average 5 days a week -- maybe less some weeks. I had gotten O.C.D. about it (and I do have those tendencies!).<br /><br />I'd read on a message board that Renee's stuff was perhaps stolen. That is sickening.Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-57752811096254314032009-09-30T15:49:48.883-05:002009-09-30T15:49:48.883-05:00I can certainly relate but you know that.

They are so politically owned that there must be another angle to it or they wouldn't report it. <br /><br />I can see some corrupt cop thinking that the dead don't need iPods or laptops. It's horrible but for me it is worse when they steal evidence or steal from the living. Well, not worse, just equally as distasteful. I guess you just have to turn away from the garbage and look at the beauty.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775514857047122526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-30838975979032919672009-09-30T12:54:26.561-05:002009-09-30T12:54:26.561-05:00First time commenting on your site.

My wife and I have been to Isla 7 straight years and coming down twice this winter!! Anyway, my favorite part most days is the pictures you post from the island, so if don't feel like writing much, just a couple of pictures would be more than fine.

Somewhere along the line something someone writes will inspire me or remind me of something and I find myself with new ideas. :) Good luck to you - and don't quit! I think once you quit for a while and get out of the habit of writing is when it gets REALLY hard to get geared up again. :)Gringa-n-Mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248889552344481041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-37366009988068771782009-09-30T09:00:45.483-05:002009-09-30T09:00:45.483-05:00Please Please Please .. don't stop blogging! ...Please Please Please .. don't stop blogging!

But I thought the reason for turning off the lights at the beach is so that the turtles are able to find the ocean. Artificial lighting distracts and disorients the turtles and interfers with the hatched turtles being able to find the ocean. They will travel towards the light, rather than towards the water. Not sure though.<br /><br />I can relate to getting the blogger blahs!Kathleenhttp://www.graciasmexico.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-52429877448781040312009-09-30T07:34:52.966-05:002009-09-30T07:34:52.966-05:00I don't think I could write a blog 5 days a we...I don't think I could write a blog 5 days a week, on a schedule. I write when I feel inspired - sometimes I could write twice a day, other times it's a week in between. All depends what else is going on too - often I have material in my head but no time to write it down, and when I find the time, the material in my head is gone. But don't stop writing and taking pictures, I would really miss your blog!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391875870787818644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-90005366092762103062009-09-30T07:01:55.816-05:002009-09-30T07:01:55.816-05:00You could walk to your front door, snap a new pict...You could walk to your front door, snap a new picture every day and I would still log on to look at it.
