In the meantime, I've been advised to start a special diet and do some other things that, they hope, will get some of the symptoms in check.&nbsp; If it's successful, I'll be able to eventually get back on track with site work...and life in general.&nbsp;

(It really was lovely, too! &nbsp;And heavy! lol)&nbsp; &nbsp;I didn't get a whole lot done, but spent a couple of hours getting some stories added to the Library. &nbsp;On Thursday, I spent the day running errands and catching up on a few things that had gotten behind with me being laid up the last couple of weeks. &nbsp;So, no site work. &nbsp;Today (Friday), I plugged in some more stories, added a couple more new events and got things uploaded. </p> <p align="left">For those who may be wondering, I haven't forgottend about the closed sites. &nbsp;They just take more concentration to prepare. &nbsp;So, when I'm hurting and on meds to calm my system down, I tend to not work on them. &nbsp;I get pretty spacey from them and don't want to mess things up. &nbsp;I promise to get more up soon, though...along with another Focus On Community segment! </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Feb 6-12, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - &nbsp;about&nbsp;22&nbsp;hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">The plan for this week was to attempt to get on track with a regular schedule, adding to the Library, Clip &amp; Artists Directories and hopefully getting another closed site or two up. &nbsp;I got more done than last week, but still not as much as I'd hoped for. &nbsp;Better luck next week, I guess! </p> <p align="left">On Saturday, I spent about 5 hours doing some prep work for future updates, including rearranging and re-linking the artist profiles to allow for faster loading as I work on things. &nbsp;Sunday, I was too zoned out to get anything done. &nbsp;Between Monday and Tuesday, I spent about 11 hours working on the Library...adding 56 mainstream articles, 77&nbsp;story titles and 15 author names.&nbsp;&nbsp;On Wednesday, I spent about 5 hours working on the Clips Directories, adding 37 new&nbsp;files to the listing. &nbsp;Thursday was pretty much a wash, too out of it to really get anything accomplished, other than checking for and adding any new events. &nbsp;Friday, I just finished formatting things and got them uploaded. </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Jan. 29 - Feb 5, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - about 25&nbsp;hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">The goal for this week was to get a good chunk of work done on the artists directories, gather any additional event info. and whatever eles presents itself. &nbsp;Got that much done, but no more. &nbsp;It's been a rough week pain-wise. &nbsp;So, time spent working on things was limitted. &nbsp;I added another 5 groups of pics to the yahoo group...502 images in all. &nbsp;I got over 100 new artwork links and a couple of new artist names added, though. </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Jan. 23-29, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - &nbsp;about 20 hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">The goal for this week is to at least get a little cleanup and gathering done. &nbsp;But, there won't be much for site work since we'll be away both weekends and preparing for the arrival of company staying with us for my great aunt's 95th&nbsp;b'day celebration. &nbsp;Ended up just doing some cleanup and backup work. &nbsp;Nothing new added. </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Jan. 16-22, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - 32 hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">The goal for this week &nbsp;was to get back onto a regular schedule of updating each section on a weekly basis until things are finally completed...or as completed as they can get. &nbsp;Life kinda got in the way of that. &nbsp;But, at least it didn't consume every waking moment. </p> <p align="left">I got last week's update finished and up Friday afternoon, then took the rest of the day to catch up on things around the house. &nbsp;Saturday, Drew &amp; I took advantage of a nice day and did a day trip up to Portland, ME to his favorite brewery and music store. &nbsp;Sunday, I did a little clean-up, organizing and backup of files. Monday, I added another 100+ stories to the Library. &nbsp;Tuesday and Wednesday, I sifted through and found another 80 clips that weren't yet listed. &nbsp;Thursday, I prepared a new Focus On Community segment, gathered a few more event details and got things ready to upload. &nbsp;Friday, I spotted a new event that I then added before uploading things. </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Jan. 9-15, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - 76 hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">The goal for this week was to finish gathering artist names, then set up the base pages for each artist before getting back to work on the other sections. &nbsp;I actually accomplished that goal. &nbsp;Yay me! lol </p> <p align="left">I took a break Friday morning, then started back in working on things Friday afternoon. &nbsp;By Saturday evening, I'd already spent about 24 hours finishing going through roughly 12,000 threads to gather artist names. &nbsp;I got that much uploaded, along with a couple more profiles. &nbsp;Then, I began the slow &amp; tedious task of setting up the base pages for each of the nearly 600 artists whose names turned up in my searches. &nbsp;Berween Sunday &amp; Monday, another 24 hours were spent on that. &nbsp; </p> <p align="left">Tuesday, I grabbed just over 500 more pics, which will be scanned before being uploaded to the yahoo group...esp since I encountered yet another virus in the process of gathering them. &nbsp;Then I gathered over 200 new links, some of which will be in the artists directory as well as in the links directory. &nbsp;Wednesday and Thursday were spent sifting through those links to gather details about each and get them plugged in to the appropriate pages. &nbsp;Friday, I grabbed fresh event info., finished wrapping things up and got everything uploaded. </p> <p align="center"><b><big><font color="#000000"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 600px; height: 10px;" alt="" src="line3.GIF"></font> </big></b></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="left"><b><u>Jan. 2-8, 2010</u> &nbsp;<i>(Time spent on site/group work this week - roughly 60 hours) </i></b> </p> <p align="left">I did a small Library update over the weekend as well as updating link &amp; event info. and adding a new Focus On Community segment to remind folks of the TMF's Golden Feather Awards. &nbsp;On Sunday, I decided it was time to finally begin work on the Artist Directories. &nbsp;I'd originally planned to wait until the Library had been completed. &nbsp;But, it's taking too long and this is simply too important a project to wait any longer. &nbsp;Sunday evening, I began looking through to see just what I had ahead of me and formulate a plan. &nbsp;Then, on Monday, I composed a profile survey for artists to fill out and submit. &nbsp;This was cross-posted on the TMF, Tickle Theater and UKTF as well as here on the site itself. &nbsp;(The plan is to have as many complete profiles as possible when it's finished.) </p> <p align="left">The remainder of the week has been spent getting the section set up...tweaking things a bit as I went along. &nbsp;I've been&nbsp;formatting and uploading pages for those who've completed their profiles. &nbsp;I've also been&nbsp;gathering artist names by going through the various artwork forums to see who all has contributed pieces to the community. &nbsp;I've gotten through over 6,500 threads so far...covering all of the UKTF and TMF and starting on the Tickle Theater. &nbsp;(I hope to finish TT by Monday or Tuesday.) </p> <p align="left">Since I got enough done to open the section sooner than expected, I also wrote up another new Focus On Community segment to look at our artists and the little attention they often get. &nbsp;I took some time to grab a few new links and fresh event info. that had been posted and admit several new members to the yahoo group...as well as re-doing this page. &nbsp;I also took advantage of the new 1 TB external harddrive that Drew got me for Christmas and backed up everything from the site and yahoo group. &nbsp;Heck! &nbsp;I even snuck in an hour or so to clean the house! lol &nbsp; It's been a productive week. &nbsp; </p> <p align="left"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b> </p> <hr> <p align="center"><b><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/home.html">TK-411 Home</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Directory/Directory.html">Links Directories</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Library/Library.html">Tickle Tales Library</a> &nbsp; <a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Clips/Clips.html">Free Clips Directories</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Artists/Artists.html">TK Artist Directories</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Games/Games.html">Tickle Games</a></b>&nbsp; &nbsp;<font color="#000000"><b><u><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Archives/Archives.html">Closed Site Archives</a></u></b></font> </p> <p align="center"><b><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Events/Events.html">Tickle Events</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.tk-411.com/Focus/Focus.html">Focus On Community</a></b>&nbsp; &nbsp;<b><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/History/History.html">Community History</a></b> &nbsp; <b><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/SSAWLT/SSAWLT.html">SSAWLT</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.tk-411.com/AboutUs.html">About Us</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;</b><font color="#000000"><b><a href="http://www.tk-411.com/In_the_Works.html">In the Works</a> &nbsp;</b></font><b>&nbsp;<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TK-411_Rescue_Archives/">TK-411 Rescue Archives Group</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="mailto:TK-411@comcast.net">E-mail Us</a></b> </p> </body></html>
