Why did Pinterest change their format, and now you can't leave comments? That was the best part! Booo!! #Pinterest #PinterestFail


Darn it - I keep removing, deleting, old boards, to make room for my new Big Brother 19 Season, right, and Pinterest keeps telling me I've reached my limit - why limit us so much, Pinterest? Is too annoying for me to use, now - I still like it, is useful, but, man, too annoying... anyone else frustrated by the new changes to Pinterest? It was great, before, and now I find it barely usable... 

Any ideas on how I can create new boards? Yikes! lol! 


Why did Pinterest change their format, and now you can't leave comments?  That was the best part! Booo!!

Just a pretty little flower picture I had in my phone - lol!  It's a lovely yellow Dahlia, from Butchart Gardens, in Victoria, BC, that I took, last summer - I looove Butchart Gardens, is crazy-gorgeous in there, year round - always amazingly beautiful and a great walk through nature...but, for now, I needed it so I can post this to Pinterest, since you need a large photo to post something to Pinterest - in case you were wondering how to post from your blog or site  (or anywhere else - lol!) to Pinterest.  

Now, to be super-clear, I love Pinterest, is so much fun - I love all the laughs, I love the pictures, I love the recipes I'll probably never make, but love to look at, imagine mah'self making - like all the millions of great craft ideas on Pinterest - lol! 

But here's my main concern - Pinterest changed it's format on March 5th, I'm pretty sure, and now you can't leave a comment, and that was the funniest bit, quite often.... now, you can only post directly, I don't see a button to say, 'Post to Facebook?', like you always want to post to fb, so, I assume it might go ahead and post to all of your social media platforms?  With or without your consent, since I didn't get an email to ask me if I wanted the new format... is annoying.  Why do they keep changing all the formats?  

Really, I've hardly been on Facebook, at all, since the New Year - I don't like the changes, I was really offended byy the whole new 'now we own all your photos' thing - whaaat??  You post something to fb, and now they own it?  was that the right understanding of that?  How can that be?  I must have misread it, that seems so crazy, but it really turned me off, so I only go on Facebook sporadically, now, as opposed to probably hours a day, before - I liked to be on fb during The National News - that's on, right now, too - ironically enough - lol! 

So, what can we do to get Pinterest to go back to their old format, where it feels like you have more control over what you're posting, and to which platforms, and to leave a little funny comment?  Was there a problem with the comments being mean, or something?  Are there really a lot of meannies on Pinterest?  It's such a sweet platform, doesn't seem like a social media hangout for all da baddies of the world, right? haha!  But, who knows, there must have been a reason for Pinterest to change their format, which I thought was fantastic, before, and now I think, well, should I still bother with it?  (I will, no worries - me luv'a da Pinterest! lol!)

Okay, so, if you have any idea on how we can get our old Pinterest format back, let me know - I miss being able to post little funny comments, or add something interesting - is just not the same with virtually no interaction with the posts, right?  

Think I'll go look at some puppy pictures - hahahaaha!  Ailsa : )

Did I already say that I always Follow Back on Pinterest (and Twitter - fb I can't really be bothered with, any more - I like it for the people I know, for sure, but is waaay too risky to add anyone I don't know, because they can post some crazy shiz on your page, without your knowledge or permission - happened to me, was horrible, and so, Twitter is safe, and Pinterest is okay - very annoyed with Pinterest letting all that gross crap get on Pinterest, then sometimes when you open it up to Follow someone back, and have a wee look at their Pins, which USED to be all sweet and innocent, yummy recipes, beautiful places, funny pet pics... you know, all very sweet, and then, suddenly, it's all gross and pornographic, and that's not okay - not on Pinterest. It's too innocent a site for that, and I should NEVER have to be exposed to something I never want to see, because I am being nice, and Following Back, right? Come on Pinterest, get it together, get rid of the creep factor.... Otay, dat mah' li'l rant for the day! lol! 

My favourite books to start with, with Louise Hay - You Can Heal Your Life - brilliant, and it really WILL change your life... and Meditations for Daily Living - think that's the right title  - is so lovely, you'll love it - all very heartwarming, very clarifying... and Louise Hay has a tiny little book, I Can Do It - looove it, you'll love it, too... I love all of Louise's books... so lovely and life-changing : ) http://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.ca/2014/11/you-can-heal-your-life-by-louise-l-hay.html

#LastManonEarth Seasons 1, 2 and 3: New Start for Phil, New start for Us? #lol! #Bacon #TheLastManOnEarth



The Last Man On Earth, Seasons 1, 2 and 3! : ) 


We are so happy to see Jason Sudeikis on the team - yahoo!

  Okay, this really made me laugh - and maybe it'll make you laugh, too - lol! So I quickly looked up Last Man on Earth, Jason Sudeikis Red and Blue Mating Outfits, and look what popped up - or, rather, look who popped up! Well, you can't argue with that! Nicki Minaj in a beautiful red dress - if that's not a mating outfit, I don't know what is, right? bah'hahahahaha! 

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say how great The Last Man on Earth was, tonight - so funny, we laughed so hard when Tandy hands Mike and Carol their 'mating outfits' - omg, hilarious! hahaha! Red and blue, head to toe (for the most part) hahaha! Yay, we're back to the Funny! Finally! 

And what a great ending! (Me won't say, in case you haven't seen it, yet! : ) 


http://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.ca/2015/08/crispy-bacon-on-parchment-paper.html


Oooh, good New Start on the Last Man on Earth...and another New Man in the Sky... I can only hope they don't bring back the old cast - some were good, most were not, soo, so far, so good...

Well, hmmm... I DID love that Bacon was featured in the last episode of The Last Man on Earth, but it did not go in the direction we thought it was a'gonna go... why didn't they follow the path of the Solar Power Panels?? Wouldn't that be the topic of conversation, WHILE they're enjoying al that bacon? And what's going on with all the vegetation?

I'm done with that stooopid accent thing - drop the idiotic accents, no one likes that - I was soo disappointed when they caught up with the 'old people' - that was their big chance to start over, again, make The Last Man on Earth funny, again - it had such a great start, was hilarious, and even though we were very excited with the arrival of January Jones on the scene, isn't she just too bitchy to be any fun, at all? Why so bitchy?

And how are there no pregnancies, yet? That makes zero sense... bleaaah!!  Why aren't they even trying to move forward? The stocks, again? Where did the second set of stocks come from? Whatdahellz, Last Man on Earth?? Why you gotta do all that stooopid gunplay, too? In every episode? what is THAT all about?

Oh, man, is frustrating, because we KNOW how funny Will Forte is, and how funny Kristen Shaw from The Daily Show is... I'll go make sure I have her name right, but, hmmm, they're not using the rest of the characters the way they should... dammit... such a great start to this new season, too, and now... I dunno... well, maybe sales on Bacon will be up, now - and that's a Good Thing - lol! : )




Well that was a really good ending to the first season of The Last Man on Earth - and, yahoo, now they can let go of the terrible casting choices, and get back to the original Phil Miller - although, was very funny, that the last astronaut, not yet back to earth, is yet another Phil Miller - thought they were done with that joke, but somebody must love it... and finally the can move away form Tuscon - I was sure they were a'gonna move Phil Miller a couple of episodes ago, when things started to really go bad for Phil Miller (or, badly, but doesn't have the same gravitas, right? lol!)... Anyway, I'm glad it's just back to Carol and Phil, and now we'll see where they go, if they meet more people, and let's hope they don't go with the phony accents, again - seriously,what was that all about? Not funny, just distracting...  soo, if The Last Man on Earth IS picked up for a second season, at least they can start clean, and get back to the funny.  I did really like Todd, though.... I'll miss Todd, for sure... but I hope they go to LA! Would be fun - Maybe they'll land on the beach in Malibu - now THAT would be a great new location for The Last Man on Earth!  Or for anyone - lol! : )

*****

Wow, so, now we have 5 people left on earth, that they know of, and all but one (Todd - we really like Todd) are al annoying jerks??  As in, I wouldn't be with you if you were the last man on earth, or, I wouldn't be with you if you were the last woman on earth?.... Booo!!  What are they thinking?  they started with such a great show, was soo funny, and now is like a train wreck, getting worse and worse with every passing episode.. and tonight, when Phil says he's doing a Re-do, I thought, great, here's an opportunity for the show to do a re-do, too, get the focus off of January Jones, who is soo biiitchy, it's hard to watch - she's like the mean girl from high school that no one wants to hear or watch - soo mean.  Needlessly mean.  Bleah!  No.  
(Take a little Fun Break with Ailsa! : ) (More fun than the show, for sures - lol!)
We keep waiting for The Last Man On Earth to regain it's footing, get back to the funny, and they totally could have done it with the re-do - just move to another section of the city, start again with the new girls, but the fake accent was too annoying, and also unnecessary... why bother?  Why can't she just speak normally? lol! (Not the Australian, the 'country gal' - bleah!) It's not like it added to the story... and the two new female characters could've been good, but, nope, not funny, just annoying... why, Last Man on Earth, why??  You had such a great premise... it couldda been soo funny... so, three more episodes, did it say?  Hmmm.. we were so annoyed by the end of it, tonight, weren't really even listening... 

I did want to know where those Hot Springs were, though - hahaha!  Me love'a da Hot Springs! 

Soo, there's a tiny amount of time to really do a re-do, and fix this show... start anew, Phil, start anew! 

We'll keep watching The Last Man on Earth, just in case they get it together, maybe go back in and make the changes so it's a watchable show, again... I liked the whole 'back to the bar' thing, with Phil talking to all his baller friends, so-to-speak... haha... you know that makes me laugh! lol! 

Otay, now me needs some tea! Maybe you might like a wee treat, too! lol!  Ailsa : )

*******

Well, the first shows were soo good, so funny, and then what happened??  Why did they decide to make Phil a jerk, someone you can't stand?  There's another word for him, but me tryin' to keep this   'family friendly', 'n all, but, man, Phil has become The Worst Last Man on Earth.  And January Jones is crap in that role - not funny, just annoying and beeee-yotchy... We were super-excited to see January Jones, when she first came on - I thought she was gonna be hiii-larious, but, nope.  

                           (Take a little Fun Break with Ailsa! : )

We do like Todd, he's great - lots of good potential, there, but is hard to watch when none of them have said a word about the entire rest of the planet having just died off - a total non-issue... so, that's stooopid, and super annoying... and why clean the pool - gross, that's so stooopid - just move to another house, another neighbourhood, another place... why aren't they moving to the coast, or anywhere near a source of water??  Bleah, makes no sense, is just flat out mean, now.  

We hated the fat-shaming, last week, too - whaaat??  So awful.  Not funny.  Just mean. And nobody likes the Mean, right?  

So, is it too late to turn it around, make it funny, again?  Hmmm, we'll watch it, to see if it gets better... but as soon as they double up the episodes, that's never a good sign... so much promise, and now it's just crap.  We'll see... they need to funny it up, for sures! 

They need to bring back The Millers - so funny, and bring back The Neighbors... crazy-funny...and Dads... all those great shows, super-funny, and all this other crap gets through?  How is that happening?  I can only hope all our old faves will come back, maybe on Netflix?  There has to be a way for the really good shows to be able to get back on the air... worked for Arrested Development - that's one of our all-time favorite shows, for sures - hilarious! Quick and funny - the best! : )  We need more of that : ) 

                                                    ***************

(I wrote this after the first show, which we loooved... and, now, not so much....)

The Last Man on Earth - soooo funny - you gotta watch this hilarious new show!

Omg, we just finished watching Will Forte's new show, The Last Man on Earth, and we laughed soo hard, all the way through - every minute, the storyline is movin' right along, fantastic little twists and turns you didn't see coming, the entire thing - hilarious - soo funny!  You are gonna laugh out loud when you watch The Last Man on Earth....this is like candy for your eyes and ears, a little something special for yo' brain to take in, and laugh and laugh and laugh.... 




 Oh, man, I loooved the homage to Tom Hanks' Wilson - brilliant - loved it.  I don't want to say too much on the off chance that you haven't seen The Last Man on Earth, just yet, but I hope you do get to se it, since it is like the 'Treat of the Week', is sooo clever, is so funny, is just brilliant - you will love it!

Watch with your kids, too - they'll laugh really hard, and nothing better to teach your children, than to have them develop a great sense of humour, and you'll have so many great conversations about the show - Kevin - sooo funny!  I loved all the names - oh, man, one laugh right after another... this is the best show we've seen in ages (we still miss The Neighbors - also a very funny and clever show...)



Hahaha, his new house - no need to clean up for guests... sure makes you rethink how much you would do, in terms of personal grooming, cleaning the house, drinking - anything at all - if there are absolutely no restrictions... you can have anything you like - any house, any item, anything from the store, any car, anything at all - all yours, free for the taking... 



Taking the Van Gogh paintings, The Irises, from the museum - it usually lives at The Getty off the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles - I love that particular painting.. and touched it, accidentally,when I thought we were supposed to, in an Art Course I took at the Getty Museum, years ago - was sort of funny, except I had no idea we weren't supposed to do that, sooo, of course, me feel badly about doing that, now... yikes! 




Interesting question, right?  Would you follow all your old rules, or how quickly would you make up your own, brand new rules, or would it be a total free-for-all in your own head?  Who would know, but is a fantastic jumping off point for discussions - with your friends, with your kids, with your students, should you have some - lol!  

One of my favourite, favourite, favourite questions that came up - what if you were the last person on earth, and by some miracle, you discovered someone else, and you couldn't stand them - you just couldn't be bothered with them? hahahaha!  Oh, man, that is hiii-larious!  What a concept! What if it's that lunatic at work you hate?  Or just some yuck you could not stand to look at? hahaha! At whom you would look? hahahah! You'll laugh after you've seen it... lol! 




Now, The Last Man on Earth is my favourite new show - sooo funny, so smart, phenomenal acting - I soo want to talk about the show, but is so new, I don't want to do any spoilers, for sures, because the surprise factor is hilarious.... we laughed soo hard, right through the whole thing - Will Forte, you won the best man on earth, for me, tonight! hahaha!  See you next week!! Ailsa : )


My favourite books to start with, with Louise Hay - You Can Heal Your Life - brilliant, and it really WILL change your life... and Meditations for Daily Living - think that's the right title  - is so lovely, you'll love it - all very heartwarming, very clarifying... and Louise Hay has a tiny little book, I Can Do It - looove it, you'll love it, too... I love all of Louise's books... so lovely and life-changing : ) http://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.ca/2014/11/you-can-heal-your-life-by-louise-l-hay.html

Is the new title for The Bachelor, The Slap? Could be... lol! #TheBachelor #FarmerChris



Wow, was that the saddest Bachelor, Ever?  Was it just me, or did you desperately hope that Kaitlyn would full out slap The Bachelor, Chris? lol!  And, here, I am against all aggression, but, holy crap, I really wanted to see Kaitlin slap Chris - I just wanted it to happen, for her to show him how it felt to be slapped in the face, emotionally... they juust slept together, and they make no bones about that, and the girls all know what's going on, that Becca is a virgin, which seems like a good idea for everyone to claim, so they don't get so hurt in this whole 'Bachelor' process... made me so sad for Kaitlin, even if they DO all know what they're getting into, it doesn't change the level of hurt these women feel. Man, that was so painful, for sures.

I can't tell if the Bachelor Chris is really interested in the one with the baby voice - man, her name escapes me - another Ashley, maybe?  How many Ashleys can there be?? lol!  Is a very popular Bachelor name... maybe a lot of pretty Ashleys out there - lol!  Hmm, that's funny, I'm drawing a total blank on her name - oh, Widney... Whitney... something like that - lol!  Whitney looks like the most accurate name... haha!  Iz because me jus' floored by how Chris treated Kaitlin.. seemed like he probably DID know in advance of the 'Fantasy Suite', sooo, what is that, just take advantage of the situation?  Yick.  The Fantasy Suite bit of The Bachelor is so gross... so archaic, and they all know what's been going on - how would you deal with that, on an emotional or physical level?  Yuuuck!! hahaha!  Yick!! That's like my mantra, through this season of The Bachelor - lol!  Maybe this seems like a particularly pure little group of women?  




Wow, so, it seems like Chris the Bachelor is ready to say good bye to this whole thing, too, and, hopefully, with the right girl (or two - hahaha!).  I think he's really interested in Becca, but is not sure that would work out, since there are a lot of red flags, there - and what an odd family visit with Becca's family - didn't they seem a little mean, a little hard on her, about her not being able to open up, before?  Maybe she just hadn't met the right person, but she does seem to really like Bachelor Chris. 

I liked all the girls... they all seem like very nice girls, so I hope they all find True Love.  And I wish True Love for everyone - well, maybe not for the truly horrible people out there - they can be on their own, until, and if, they ever become decent people, but for everyone else, I hope for them to find True Love - hahahaha!  Did you like how I still left some o' da baddies out?? hahahaha!  Whatevs... don't be bad, and then you'll get what you want.... and until they're good, I hope they get what they deserve - ha!  (Me no likee da baddies! lol!)

Otay, I hope you've found my fave Louise Hay book, You Can Heal Your Life, and read it - it's brilliant, change-your-life wonderful.... Okay, go on and have yourself a fabulous week!! 'Til Next Time, Ailsa : )  


My favourite books to start with, with Louise Hay - You Can Heal Your Life - brilliant, and it really WILL change your life... and Meditations for Daily Living - think that's the right title  - is so lovely, you'll love it - all very heartwarming, very clarifying... and Louise Hay has a tiny little book, I Can Do It - looove it, you'll love it, too...
