Followers! Are You Public Or Anonymous?

Since Google has done some kind of merger between "Followers and Friend Connect" it appears that some people lost a lot of followers.

This seems to be due to the fact the "public" following status was changed to "anonymous" during this merger process.

If you are not public you will not be visible and no one will know you are there...

So, don't forget to check your following status not just on this blog but all the blogs you visit and follow.

Either go to the followers widget on each blog, sign in and check settings, or go to your dashboard and check.

Even though I never used this very often it is sad to learn that the international phone numbers are being discontinued, so I guess that's bye bye from the UK...

UPDATE! I forgot the above would get posted to my blog, it was originally posted on Utterli and that is the site that has discontinued the international numbers - such a pity.

Banana Shorts – Fancy Flavour Crisps

Popped to the shop on way home from work and bought some Squirrel flavoured crisps, (potato chips in US?) along with Chilli and Chocolate flavour, fish and chips flavour, amongst others.

The company who makes them, Walkers, is asking people to vote for their favourite!

Not tried any yet but I look forward to them!

Still Here..

I had a restful weekend in that I did not once put my computer on.

I Tweeted from my phone and my partners iPod, but that was about all my net action for the weekend – and I liked it.

The problem I have is once I put the computer on I cannot get off it, it’s totally addictive and one link always leads to another!

Plus the fact I’m having a lot of lower tummy discomfort it wasn’t sensible to sit in one position for too long. Anyway I went to see my Dr this morning and will get an ultrasound soon to check my ovaries are OK – I bet it’s just something quite innocuous.

So having had 2 days off I have a LOT of emails and posts in G-reader to catch up with. I will try my best but have to remember this is supposed to be a pleasant pastime, something done for pleasure not an obligation, not something forced upon me which is what I was starting to feel.

So, if I don’t get to comment where I normally do please don’t take it personally, it’s just one of those things, we can not do it all, all the time!

Now back to my book, this weekend I’ve remembered how much I love having my nose stuck into a good book

Taking A Break

Banana Eating Competition

Polly over at Random Ramblings bought my attention to this story she found in the Daily Mirror:

 

“Doctors have put the skids on a banana-eating world record bid because they fear a contestant could die.

Organiser Chris Swan had hoped to enlist 10,000 people to scoff a million bananas - 100 each - in just 24 hours.

But he cancelled next month's attempt after doctors warned him that the event could end in tragedy.

Chris, 47, said: "I've been told an overload of potassium, which is in bananas, can be bad for your heart.

I can't believe you can become ill from eating fruit - bananas are supposed to be very good for you." Chris had hoped to raise thousands of pounds for charity during a two-day event in Oadby, Leics, as part of Fairtrade Fortnight.

But Dr Angela Lennox said: "You're more likely to be very sick as they contain a lot of calories, but potassium can cause severe heart disease."

And of course she thought of me!  Thanks Polly!

 

Even though I love banana’s I don’t think I could even attempt to eat 100 in a 24 hour period! ughhhhhhhhhhh……
