T Stands For Retired (and more)

 

Blogger is STILL not allowing me to leave comments.  I cannot seem to get rid of the dreaded "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later." Please believe me when I say I DO keep trying to leave you a comment.  

Last week Traude suggested and I quote: "My suggestion to write comments HERE in YOUR comment section instead of on our blogs still stands."

Dear Traude and all my loyal T participants, readers, and followers, I can't leave comments on MY blog, either.

 I need this mug.  I want all play and no work.  Maybe not Squiggles, but Bleubeard would make a better president than the one we have now.  These are both MUD mugs.

And if you live in the states, have a super rest of your three day holiday.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time. 

 

 

 

 

It's Martin Luther King Jr. Day

 

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States, observed on the third Monday of January each year, to honor the civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his contributions to racial equality and social justice. 

 

According to Britannica:

Almost immediately after King’s death, there were calls for a national holiday in his honor. Beginning in 1970, a number of states and cities made his birthday, January 15, a holiday. Although legislation for a federal holiday was introduced in Congress as early as 1968, there was sufficient opposition, on racial and political grounds, to block its passage. In 1983 legislation making the third Monday in January a federal holiday finally was passed, and the first observance nationwide was in 1986. The day is usually celebrated with marches and parades and with speeches by civil rights and political leaders.

 

T Stands For More Random Mugs

 

 In case you haven't read or been by my blog lately, Blogger is STILL not allowing me to leave comments.  I cannot seem to get rid of the dreaded "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later." Please believe me when I say how very frustrated I am and hope you realize I DO keep trying to leave each of you a comment.  

For those of you who suggested I try a different operating system (mine is Linux) or browser (I only use Firefox), I have NO other choices.  There are no other options.  When I had the computer built, I wanted "lean and mean" and that meant no excessive software to clutter the machine.  I simply refuse to have Windows on my computer.  I'll choose when to update my software, rather than "allow" a massive program to invade my computer while I sleep.  This may be the fatal reason Blogger is throwing a hissy fit!!

I have more random mugs from the last time (November) I was at The Spice Merchant.  

Autumn is well covered in these mugs.  Do you see the pumpkin mug in the background?

These look like spring with spring flowers, bunnies, and ladybugs, but I assure you this photo was taken the same day.

I know a couple of people for whom the "Rescue Dog" mug would apply.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.

 

What's up?

 

Today I'm joining my dear friend Erika who many of you know as BioArtGal.  Erika's theme for the entire month of January at Art Journal Journey is What's Up? 

Bleubeard and I want to know

 

 

To make it colorful, I enhanced the image using PhotoShop.

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I hope you will join Bleubeard and me at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of What's up?

 

 

T Stands For 2025 In Review

 

Some of you may have read my friend Scott was here over Christmas and he did a bit of maintenance on my computer.  I thought he might get my "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later" message to go away, but that didn't happen.  I hope blogger gets its act together soon, because my readers and followers are getting tired of me making these excuses.
