It was fun to update the blog with photos of random thingamjigs and have readers guess what they were. And while I have started <b><a href="http://575live.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">a new blog</a></b>, it's not exactly everyone's cup of tea.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you think? Should I revive <i>Thingamajig</i>? <b>Please vote on the poll to your left. </b>If I get a good response, I'll start posting new photos starting April 1st, 2014 (no joke).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, hello there! Thanks for visiting me today! Hope you are enjoying your day so far! The weather has been really nice lately, so I apologize for spending more time outside than inside blogging. I just want to sit outside with some ice tea or lemonade and people watch. It's one of my favourite things to do in the summer, especially since there are always a few shirtless guys running around! ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello, world! Thanks for dropping by! Have I told you lately how much I appreciate your time and your comments? Well, it's true. You are too good to me. I'm not a popular blogger by any means, but I do get a nice, warm fuzzy feeling when people leave me comments. It's nice to know that there are people out there who still like to read blogs from time to time because I think blogging in general has declined in popularity. I guess it's not as cool as it used to be. It's sad to see some of the blogs that I have been following disappear. But I want you to know, I'm not going to disappear anytime soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, hey there! I like these sunny days we've been having. People are friendlier and everyone seems to be in a good mood. I wonder if the people living on tropical islands are happier and friendlier than those that live in the Arctic. I think there might even be some research that supports my hypothesis. But, I'm too lazy to look for the information. I don't know about you, but hot weather makes me feel lazy...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Avocados get a bad rep for being unhealthy for you because of its high fat content, but it's actually good for you! It has more potassium than bananas and it's rich in vitamins B, E and K. Plus, it is a great source of fiber, which keeps you full longer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever had an avocado shake? It's so creamy and delicious. Just blend half an avocado with milk and a bit of sweetener (i.e sugar, honey, condensed milk, whatever you like). Enjoy!</span><br />

It's my baby. My goal is to continue this blog as long as there are thingamajigs out there for me to photograph. It's not always easy; I try not to photograph the same thing twice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello out there! If anyone else is out there, maybe drop me a comment just to say hello back? Blogging is much more fun when you know you have some readers, don't you think? Anyway, I hope you had a good weekend. Did you remember to take the time to tell your mom how much you care for her? It is a bit of a shame that the only time we seem to appreciate our moms is when there is a "holiday" to remind us that "Oh, yeah! Mothers are important. Let's celebrate them!" But I think it's important to tell your loved ones how much you really care about them as much as you can. You shouldn't have to wait for a holiday or special occasion. Life is too short. Take a few minutes today and tell someone how much you love him/her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, let's get back to today's thingamajig haiku hint:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cilantro and coriander are both acceptable names for this plant. But if you want to be a smarty pants, you can tell people this: the entire plant and seeds are called <b>coriander</b> while the leaves alone are called <b>cilantro</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though cilantro is good for you, some people will avoid eating it because they experience an unpleasant "soapy" taste. </span>Shutterbughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18129667890937305926noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172160122543048334.post-71761599561716013202012-05-08T11:36:00.002-06:002012-05-08T11:47:00.759-06:00Photo of the day, #383<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But I can't complain. I'm lucky I don't live in a place where there are a natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, which are fairly common this time of the year. I am thankful that my loved ones and I are safe and don't have to worry about the weather doing damage.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello out there! Can anyone hear me? I hope I still have one or two fans out there. Blogging is much more fun when you know that there are readers out there that are interested in your work, don't you agree? I appreciate every single blogger who has taken the time to comment on my little blog. Thank you for your words of encouragement! And you know what else is nice? I don't get a lot of spam. It's one of the reasons I don't have that Captcha spam filter thingamajig for comments. Actually, I get quite annoyed when other bloggers use it. Please disable it. Pretty please?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like to think that since onions are vegetables, onion rings are good for me (in moderation, of course)! They are a good source of fiber and vitamin C! </span>Shutterbughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18129667890937305926noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172160122543048334.post-59831753005907974352012-04-25T14:28:00.002-06:002012-04-25T14:32:53.815-06:00Photo of the day, #380<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well hey there! I don't know what's the weather like in your part of the world, but it's a rainy day here! It's grey and miserable out. I know it's spring and the rain is good for the farmers, but I do miss the sun! I often dream about moving to a sunny tropical island where I can sip fresh coconut water on the beach while I blog. Someday!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well hello there! So nice of you to pop by for a visit. Hope life is treating you well! I like that spring is here, but my body doesn't. I have allergies to all the dust and pollen in the air. It makes me sneeze and wheeze all day long. It's quite irritating that I can't enjoy the nice sunny weather without having to be drugged up. Anyone else have seasonal allergies? How do you handle them?</span><br />
