Mishmash Musings

There’s not much going on around here today. I’ve been stuck doing some chores that I’ve been putting off for as long as possible. These include scrubbing the kitchen backsplash tiles (the ones behind the stove, which are hopelessly splattered with grease), dragging the area rugs out to the backyard to beat the dust out of them and let the sunshine kill some germs, and scrubbing down all the floors with bleach instead of just mopping them with soapy water.

It hasn’t been fun, but luckily I don’t have to do this stuff very often. Also, this was a good day to take care of chores because I got A LOT of freelance work done over the weekend and am all caught up now, so I was able to switch the computer off for most of the day for a change. Yes, I’m back online now, but being away from my desk for several hours in the middle of the day was rather liberating!

I was just surfing BlogExplosion the other day when I noticed that I was getting .75 credits for every site I visited, instead of the usual .5. I think that’s great, because obviously it’s now even easier to rack up credits for reciprocal visits.

The only thing I’m confused about is when/why they policy was changed. Was this announced anywhere? Is this a temporary measure or is it permanent? I have no idea where to find the answers to my questions because I haven’t received any communication from BE staff in ages. So if any of you other surfers happen to know what the deal is with the credits, please pass on the 411!
