VIDEO | Bob & Margaret "Trick or Treat"
We were huge fans of the animated series 'Bob & Margaret' which aired from 1998-2001. The show was co-produced by Global TV (Canada) and Channel 4 in United Kingdom.
Here's an episode that features some Halloween silliness.

ENCORE SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Mr. Sock & Ken Say Goodbye to the Campground
As those of you with Facebook pages know, occasionally Facebook will remind you of a post you created in the past. They're Facebook Memories and sometimes they conjure up fond thoughts of something in your past.
Today Facebook showed me this video from 3 years ago which I got a chuckle or two rewatching, so I thought maybe you would also enjoy seeing it again.
We're taking a farewell drive through N.E.T. campground in Fonthill, Sept. 2023. At the end of the video there's a few seconds of promos for Sock vs. Sock and Battle of the Best 5...please ignore those as they've already happened.

scribbles VIDEO | Scribbles 47th Anniversary Contest RESULTS
For the occasion of Scribbles turning 47 on Labour Day, I wanted something special as a prize, something we didn't have before. That's when I got the idea of a coffee mug. I would order two, one for the prize package and one for me.
The mugs I ordered were allegedly 11 oz, but seemed much smaller when they arrived. When I pressed 8 oz on my Keurig the mug was filled almost to the top. I prefer a larger mug and wanted a bigger one for our prize so I ordered two more this time in the 16 oz size.
Originally the way to play this contest was to watch Scribbles Anniversary Video, then answer questions to have your name entered in our draw 1 to 5 times.
Response was minimal. Only 4 friends answered our questions.
That's when I decided to offer an easier way to enter. Tell us what you like about Scribbles and you're entered in the draw. Simple. If you chose to, you could also still answer the questions on the video to increase the number of times your name would be entered. But that was up to you.
6 more friends entered by sharing what they liked about Scribbles, Mr. Sock and/or me!
When I posted that the contest was closing soon, two Scribbles friends responded a bit late and as a result their names did not get entered in the draw.
Also, this contest launched on Labour Day weekend, so that probably wasn't a good idea either, as many friends may have been on holidays or enjoying the last long weekend of summer away from their devices.
Then there's the actual draw featured on the video below. Mr. Sock is on a tilt during the spinning of the wheel and the camera angle sucked. It isn't my finest work but it gets the job done. Had it not been a contest draw, I would have redone it, but ya can't reshoot when the winner has already been determined.
Wow...so many boo boo's. Was it a jinxed contest? Perhaps. It's only a few minutes long, so you be the judge. But be gentle. We all know I'm somewhat fragile.

I Know. I Kinda Cheated
This spring when I launched Publisher, a notice popped up. Effective October, Publisher is gone. Not only will it no longer be supported by Microsoft, you will not be able to open any documents you have saved in Publisher format. They suggested converting files to PDF's, which I have done.
Periodically over the past few months, I have been searching for alternate apps to create logos and such, with not much luck. Oh, there's apps out there, if you want to fork out big bucks, either that or they're pretty complicated to use.
Since October is quickly approaching, I searched again today. Of course all sorts of AI options took top billing, so I opened one of them and where you would tell them what you want AI to create I wrote exactly what I wanted and added "WITHOUT USING AI".
Ironically, it gave me suggestions, including something called Photopea. It's a free app (paid version is also available) but for my basic needs it does the trick and I'm thrilled.
So basically I accessed AI to tell me how to do something without having AI create it for me. It gave very clear step by step instructions on how to use Photopea, and it was a real help. But somehow I feel dirty. LOL.
I really do not like AI, but today it steered me in the right direction without me relying on it to actually create what I wanted.
Dirty. Dirty.
