I’m so full!

by The Diva

I’m so full! We had an early Christmas dinner this evening and I’m still full!

I don’t even think I ate that much, but I’m stuffed!

I made a turkey last night , Thursday December 23rd, yes a little early, but we’re going to the in-laws for Christmas and I like to have our own Christmas dinner too … so we had ours early .. so I guess tonight’s dinner was the second dinner .. All I had tonight was a little bit of stuffing, some turkey, some sweet potatoes and cranberry jelly and that’s it. No big helpings – just a little bit of each.

Perhaps I should put on my coat and take a long walk around the neighborhood and then I’ll feel a little less full.

Tomorrow when we go to the in-laws I’ll get to see how they decorated this year at the church across the street. My mother in law said something about how she used cypress trees as part of their decoration. It should be interesting to see how they decorated.

What are you doing for Christmas or the holidays? Any big plans?

Starting to ban ip addresses for spammers

by The Diva

I was just mentioning in my last post that I’ve been getting a lot of comment spam lately.

Have you found that you’re getting more comment spam lately? Has it really increased or is it just my sites that are getting a lot more than usual?

I’m getting hit on by spammers from Croatia, Russia, Turkey and India. Oh sure there are spammers from other countries too, but the four countries above are hitting my sites the hardest and they don’t just leave one comment … no they have to leace ten or twelve at a time, all saying “nice site” or something about diet pill reviews.

when will it end!

I’ve actually taken to blocking ip addresses or whole domains from many of my sites. I know that will make it harder for legitimate visitors to leave a comment, but if it weren’t for those people ruining things for the rest I wouldn’t have to do that.

How do you handle comment spam?

Vacations to Spain & other holiday destinations from Birmingham International Airport

by The Diva



Departing from Birmingham Airport, you can visit to many fascinating countires such as Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, and more. What you need is a detailed travel plan so that your trip will be relaxing and enjoyable. There are many ways you can plan for your holiday. A quick and easy way, is to source relevant information online.


Turkey – Interesting destinations

If you are jetting to Turkey from Birmingham International Airport, you will be fasinated by the rich culture of the country. Turkey is neighboured by a total of eight nations. Due to its natural geographical location, which is in the middle of 2 continents, Turkey has a matchless mixture of Western and Eastern culture.

The antiquity of Turkey began from as early as the thirteenth century BCE. The 1st major empire belonged to the Hittites. Empires rose and fell during the years. As each empire gave way to stronger and more powerful empires, traces of its traditions were forgotten. Today, you can still see awesome ancient buildings such as The Celsus Library in Ephesus, the legendary walls of Troy (VII), and lots of others. The Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque) is perhaps the most grand of all.

Spain – Interesting destinations.

Spain is a massive country with many alluring cities. It would be wise to focus on not too many cities so that you have more opportunity to really get to know the cities well. You may wish to visit Barcelona, which is the second biggest city in Spain. Many famous artists live in this city, so you bury yourself in one of the art museums and have a really brilliant time. Another elegant city is Valencia. As it is position near the ocean, many tourists return to the city to enjoy the beach each year.

Bulgaria

No doubt, Turkey and Spain each have rich culture. Perhaps Bulgaria is a country with enough cultural places of interest to outshine each of these countries! The man made sites include Rila Monastery, Boyana Church, Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo, Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak, Madara Rider and the Ancient City of Nessebar. The only 2 natural sites are known as Pirin National Park and Srebarna Nature Reserve. For definate, that’s enough destinations to keep you busy all through the entire holiday.

You must be curious if such travel packages would be expensive. Just check out some of the online deals that are available on via popular travel sites. You may be stunned at how cheap the prices are. For a few hundred dollars, you can travel to many brilliant cities from Birmingham.
