Help Out A Brother, Will Ya?


Peeps, can any of you out there help out a techno-challenged old man with his blogging needs?

I noticed that I lost two followers. One I know about. She had overdosed on Coffey and his humor - or lack there of and his crudeness. I’m not upset. She has her own set of standards and proclivities, so I wish her the best in her blogging activities, though I will miss her uniqueness and humor. I know that I’m not for everyone (probably anyone) though. Nuf said!

The other one, I’m not so sure who it was. All my favorite peeps are still there, so, evidently that one wasn’t one I visited much anyway. Again, I wish that person a long, successful blogging life.

But I got to wondering about how they do that. How do the remove themselves from a blog roll. There are some people who never made it to my peeps level, yet I am still in their follower roll. I know having a huge follower role is important to some people, but not me. We all have our needs, wants and desires. Mine is to just enjoy those who interest me, makes me laugh and restores my faith in the American people. The whole world doesn’t have to read my stuff.

So my question is, how do you delete or remove an icon from someone’s blog follower roll? I tried white-out. Don’t be fooled, peeps, that shit dosen’t work on everything.

So, if any of your techno-nerds (people…peeps) know how, please give a brother a hint.

And while I’m asking, how do you draw a line through a word or phrase, like some of you do, in blogger?

And finally, Miss Em and Ashley, please drop me an email.

Thanks!

The Troops Need Your Help


Okay, peeps! I am sending out a help for some Ft. Hood soldiers who are facing a hard winter in Iraq. These are not the REMF’s that have mess-halls and Wendy’s and PX type stores. These are guys living outside the wire in FOB’s that have nothing.

Go visit my friend Hope’s site at Hope Radio . She has been bat shit crazy with stuff lately and posted a catch-up on the first part of her blog. But he last half will give you some information on what these guys need. Please, and I don’t say that often, please go over there and do what ever you can for our guys and gals. A donation, a commitment to send some stuff to the guys or to her and she will combine everything and send them in one package.

The Army is lacking in really supporting the guys outside the wires. They do okay for the REMFs because that is where all the brass is. But the dudes doing the hard stuff is lacking in some fundamental needs. Socks, hand warmers, nuts, granola bars, cereal, etc.

And the moral is pretty low, along with the bitter winds and cold of an Iraquie winter. So lets do something for those who are doing the hard things so we can have a safe Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and other family gatherings.

Thank you for what ever you can do, and Hope and the guys and gals thank you, too.

**UPDATE**
If any of you people in the educational field or work within your church or Synagogue, or have an office who would like to do something worth and productive and would like to help in this effort and support some of these dudes and dudetts, please give me or Hope a shout out. They will be most appreciative.
