December 26, 2010 ~ Ok, so yea, we got snow (I told that ladybug we might!).

Forgive the pics, they're backwards, blogger won't let me move them tonight, and they have also sized them as small as they can. Sheesh.

Behind our local school:

Not ours, but cool : )

7:30am Had to wait an hour after I woke for it to

be light enough for the pics to show properly.

*sigh*

Typical SC snow, it will all be gone tomorrow, and we won't see it for another year, if that soon.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year!

The Cell Phone

My son raised the question this evening: how long have cell phones been around. I wanted to be correct in my answer, so I looked it up. I remember my mother's first car phone : )

Interesting:

Unbelievably, the basic concept of the cell phone has been around for decades. In the nineteenth century, scientists experimented with using the earth's atmosphere to transmit and receive communications. There was, in this groundwork, the beginnings of the cell phone. It wasn't until 1973, though, that the first call was made from a cell phone.

In 1947, AT&T and Bell Labs requested that the Federal Communications Commission allocate more radio wave frequencies so mobile phone use could become more widespread. The FCC declined, and so there were only a limited amount of frequencies available. This meant that only about twenty-three conversations could take place simultaneously in the same service area. It wasn't worth any company's time and money to invest in the technology when it wouldn't be used in a more widespread manner.

Luckily, the FCC decided to allocate more frequencies to mobile phone use in 1968. This was the real beginning of cell phone use. Several small low-powered towers broadcast signal. Each cell covered a radius of a few miles, and calls could bounce between towers if they left the cell's range. Cell phone trials could now start, which they did with 2000 Chicago users in 1977. Cell phones have evolved from cumbersome, car phones to tiny phones we can fit in the palm of our hands.

Cell phones didn't become as common or popular until the 1990s, but they have been a work in progress for decades. Now, in addition to making calls, you can take pictures, listen to music, go online, send files, and much more. You can find out who owns a phone number, look numbers up, and communicate more freely with others. The cell phone has been one of the most important innovations of the past century and will undoubtedly continue to change the way that people communicate with each other in numerous ways.

Christmas Evening 2010

The child : )

I hope all of you had a good Christmas! Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Our day was small but fun. Just the kid, myself, mom & dad. Great food, gifts we actually needed, and some good coffee.

Zach got a new Vivitar digital vivcam from mom & dad so I've been playing with it all day. He got a cellphone (egads) from his dad and other grands, so he's been playing with that all day LOL

The artificial tree will be taken down tomorrow and since there wasn't much on it, it won't take me 10 minutes to pack everything back up. Just wasn't in the mood this year with being on the poor end of the spectrum and partially disabled. Just not up to it physically, but in mind, I'm all over it.

We're suppose to get 1-3" of snow tonight after midnight. We're in SC, I really don't think we'll get much at all. I remember hearing it last year and it didn't even rain in my area. We shall see.

Have an awesome Sunday!

UPDATE:

We got about 1.5 inches and up to 2 inches in some parts of the yard because it snowed overnight and all into the next day!

Little ladybug on my window, you really need to find some food and hurry back into hibernation! Our local weatherman is calling for a huge cold-front Friday night.

I understand you'll be fine, but still...

Well, the NOAA has said our area has a 50% chance of wintry weather.

Yes, I know that's not possible here in SC, my dear, but why chance it?

OK, you take care now, and be careful.

Oh, and Merry Christmas : )

Freelance Editing/Proofreading

I have started editing what people write, from simple blogs to full-blown books. I take the content they’ve written, polish and edit it, then email or mail it back.

This includes blogs, books, journals, classroom materials, manuals, transcriptions, brochures, flyers, screenplays, research papers, and news articles.

If you need this service, email me at MissSlickOne@aol.com with "Editing" in the Subject Line. Tell me what you need edited, how many words there are in your blog (use www.wordcounttool.com for your online needs) material or book, and I will get back to you with a quote.

With simple things like a short blog, I can be done within a day, depending.

Books take about 3-10 days, depending.

(Please do not comment here asking how much I charge, because it depends on what you need done and how long it is. As I stated, please email me with the info.)

I've also gotten exited about getting back into freelance writing. I've been away from it too long... It's all on paper but hope to transfer it to my blog someday soon...

I've been writing books since I was a teen but never finished them, nor talked to anyone about them. I am looking forward to finishing that project as well someday!
