Doors and Windows
I know some of you have heard people say, “God doesn’t close a door without opening a window.” On yesterday, I submitted my letter of resignation from my day job. There’s just a lot of things going on there that cause a very high-stress working environment, and I’ve decided that I just need to move […]
You’re single because you’re too intelligent.
For real, y’all. A dude said that to me. No joke. I wanted to be offended, but I hate to admit I think it has some merit. More than once I’ve met men and women in relationships—girlfriend/boyfriend or married—and thought to myself, “Why is he with her? She doesn’t seem like she challenges him intellectually.” […]
I love my HTC EVO, but…
…actually there’s no but. 🙂 When I first saw that HTC came out with the HTC EVO Shift, I was like, “Dang it! I knew it was going to happen! I knew they were going to come out with an EVO with a physical keyboard!” They did it, but (ah… there’s the but) they didn’t […]
Hosting and a domain for $9.24 for ONE YEAR! No, you’re not “dreaming.”
About a month ago, I decided to move the My Question of the Day (MyQOTD) blog to better hosting. I was having way too many issues with down time on IX Webhosting, plus they were stifling me with their 2MB upload limit. I searched around trying to find the best alternative, because I also wanted […]
I’m not feeling the new Twitter
When I set up Microsoft Outlook for the first time on a new computer, or I set up a new folder in an old version of Microsoft Outlook, the first thing I do is turn off that darn preview pane! I abhor that thing. I have three reasons for my dislike of the Outlook preview […]
It’s Gone!
Twitter finally suspended @sepesyru; that bogus account that stole my name, avatar and bio! I contacted Twitter on 06 January about it, and it happened sometime late today! Thanks to @IAMKJR for letting me know. Thanks to everyone who blocked the account and/or reported it as spam. There is power in numbers, and I appreciate […]
Will the real Faydra Deon please stand up?
So a few nights ago, on Twitter, I did a search on my name: Faydra Deon. I have several Twitter accounts, and I couldn’t remember the exact letters I used for a particular handle. Since I always use Faydra Deon as my actual name, I knew I could find the account that way. Lo and […]
Yes. It could be worse, but my pain is real, too.
A statement that I dislike, more times than not, is “it could be worse.” You know what? On its face, that’s true, but it’s bad for me right now. It may not be as bad as someone else’s situation, but it’s my situation and I’m in pain over it right now. Don’t abridge what’s going […]
Rent-free January!
I’ve been renting the same townhome since 2003, and my landlady has been a blessing and a half to the tenth power plus infinity! When my ex-husband walked out on my in 2006, and my income tanked, she was uber-understanding and told me to pay my rent when I could. For about six months, I […]
2010 has been washed away
Anyone who knows me well knows that I’m a home-body. It’s not unusual to find me relaxing at home on New Year’s Eve, and that’s where I was this 31 December. I decided, however, that I wanted to do something different to ring in the New Year besides just watching a movie or surfing the […]
