As a kid I used to love cartoons, and they were by far better than most of the crap they put on TV today, and one of my favorites was Casper The Friendly Ghost. Imagine my surprise when I came across the first appearance of Casper the Friendly Ghost in Famous Studios’ “The Friendly Ghost”! This is a 1945 classic. While a little before my time as I was used to the more ‘modern’ version, it was very interesting to see the origin of this famous Ghost.

There can be many reason why someone may require a car rental service, ranging from interstate business trips, holidays to just making do while you car is having some major repair work done. Now while there may be be some good deals to be found with a bit of Googling, why go through all the effort of sifting through the porno and other unrelated sites when all you have to do is log onto Advantage Rent A Car to see what special deals they have for your State.

Personally, if I am to rent a car I always go for one that I can’t afford and so wouldn’t normally get a chance to drive. I reckon I am not the only one who feels like this which is probably why these guys are offering up to a 50% on Luxury and Convertible car rentals. Gee, I may even rent a Hummer and feel like King Of the Road!

Yep, I’ve just received another email joke and although I realize it’s probably all over the net already I reckon that there will still be a lot of people out there who like me have never seen it before. If you are one of those I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son saying, ‘All of You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k off now, cause we’re in a hurry! And all of you B*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, cause we’re going down the tracks’.

The horrified mother went in and told her son, ‘We don’t Use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS! When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want You to Use nice language.’

Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed    Playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, ‘All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one.’

As the mother began to smile, the child added, “For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat b*tch in the kitchen.”

Not that I have had any personal experience, being a bloke, but I have heard that being pregnant for a lot of women is a pretty special experience. I did notice, in my wife’s case, that the one gripe she really had, apart from the occasional bout of morning sickness, was the luck of any decent maternity clothes. After all being pregnant is no reason for not being able to feel sexy and looking good in the clothes you wear.

Fortunately this does not seem to be such an issue today as there now exists many firms that will cater to this very important market, so that now women can feel good about how they look right through their pregnancy.

Whoever said that Murphy’s Law doesn’t exist has never changed blog themes before. Like everything else, when it comes to things going wrong, you can bet your ass that Murphy is going to stuff things up for you. In my case it was the threaded comments or what is sometimes called nested comments. For some reason the one I was using would cause an “Internal Error” every time someone would use it, and so the search began for a new plugin. There was no way I was going to give up on what someone commented was a HOT theme.

I found Yet Another Threaded Comment or YATCP but that wouldn’t work either. AJAXed had one included in their pretty comprehinsive package but unfortunately once again it would not work with this theme.

Finally I found the one that worked and it happened to be one that I used before called Brian’s Threaded Comments but there was an issue in that it did not work in well with the dark background of my theme. As I know stuff all about .php I thought it best to ask for assistance but unfortunately I couldn’t find anything so I gave it a wild bash. One thing to remember when playing with any files is to always make a backup in case you screw something up. As it was I managed to get it working.

The only other problem I had was when I happened to check the blog out using Internet Explorer (IE) as I normally use FireFox, and I noticed everything wasn’t displaying well at all. This was a disaster as so many people still use IE and meant picking another theme unless I could resolve the problem. Fortunately the helpful members at Aussie Bloggers Forum were able to help me out and so I can now keep this them.

Have you ever walked into an office and looked at how it was set up and wondered to yourself what the heck you were doing there. When you consider that the first impression is the most important one it makes you wonder why some people, business people mind you, don’t invest in some decent office furniture. No-one is suggesting they have to spend a fortune either as competition is fierce and with a bit of mouse clicking it would be fairly easy to come up with a very professional looking office without breaking the bank.

I thought that it was time to change the blog theme and after much searching I found this great Wordpress Theme Site that not only had a huge selection, they offered them all for free. I finally decided on this little number and it didn’t take me long to get it just the way I wanted it. I liked the fact that it offered a larger than normal ‘posting’ area as this would let me post bigger images when I felt they were required. Take this photo for instance of my father-in-law’s multi-citrus fruit tree.

I don’t think it knows if it is Arthur or Martha as he has grafted so many different varieties of oranges, mandarins and lemons on it that it actually allows him to pick the fruit all year round.

Those of you who are regular readers of this blog know how passionate I am about the attributes of hosting your own blogs and websites. When you consider that a good webhosting package is a bloggers best friend I am surprised that more bloggers do not take advantage of all it’s benefits, the main one being that it gives you total control and you get to keep all the revenue raised by the blogs, unlike those community blogging sites where you only keep a percentage of it.

I reckon that the one thing that is holding them back is the confusion from not knowing what hosting company to choose. This is not surprising when you consider how many webhosting companies are out there trying to get their business. Perhaps if there were to visit The Web Hosting Geeks who have listed the ‘Top 10 Web Hosting - Best Web Hosts for 2008, it would help to convince them to take the self hosted blogging plunge.

I didn’t think I would, but I did, I have started another blog! It’s called Photos 2 Blog and is basically a blog that enables me to take photos and to post about them, so it is virtually ‘photos 2 blog 2 you.’ Each photo will contain unique content about the photo, and may include information about the content of the photo, tips on how it was taken and reasons why people should take up photography as a hobby.
