Writing for Santa - Helping or not? (Or the funny things kids say)

I own a Letter From Santa website ~ for the past two years I have written to kids all over the US and Canada on behalf of Santa. A couple of weeks ago I was going through my list, making sure everything was ready to go and got set to mail a batch of letters out.

Then my five year old daughter walked in. She asked what I was doing with all the stickers and envelopes with Santa on them. I told her I am Santa’s helper, he is so busy that he needs lots of helpers.

She said “Why are you lying”

It was really hard not to start laughing! I explained to her that I was a helper and helping is not lying. She seemed satisfied with that answer and after grabbing a few stickers, went about her day.

What I Want Firefox to do

Here’s my list of what I wish Firefox did for me ~

I love the tabs, I even love the colored tabs. I have my options set to order the websites I visit daily - gmail, google, my blog dashboards, a couple of forums, etc. It also opens my customize daily list - where I have my to do list as well as affiliate sites listed. (This is just housed on my computer so it’s just a file opening up.)

I want Firefox to keep the list of which websites I want opened in tabs - and rotate them accordingly. Let’s say I have a blog that I co-author with others - and I’d like to post to that blog once a week. Firefox opens the website every time I open Firefox - at least once, sometimes twice a day (I often keep it open so there isn’t multiple restarting). But I don’t want to see that blog that I only write to weekly opened up every time.

I suppose I could utilize my daily file that opens more - I could set up daily, weekly, etc. tasks and the links and thus have less tabs opening. But really, I’d like Firefox to do what I want. Of course I have no idea how that would get done!

What do you want your favorite browser to do? Why?

Podcasting Hours

Leesa points out that she has 19.4 hours of podcasts in iTunes. I knew that number was on iTunes but admit I only looked at it a few times, if that. I looked after reading her post, and I have MUCH more then Leesa. I’m not even going to say because it is so much more. LOL

But I’m betting quite a bit of that is podcasts I keep, which means I’ve already listened to it. I wonder how much I haven’t listened to though? I use my ipod as well as listen on my computer, so I listen while I work out, go for walks or work on something around the house.

How many podcast hours do you have? When do you get your podcast listening in?
