The basement is flooded and we have no hot water. So I'm boiling water on the stove for a bath, Little House on the Prairie style.
I was at therapy yesterday and the doctor asked if I had friends. I was like, "Do I have friends?" And tried to count all the little people in the box aka axe-murderers, and lost count (in my head). I said "yeah, I'm all good."

Oh man, BTDT, I'm sorry. It sucks.
In news of the internet being weird: one of the pictures in my flickr set of my new niece that I posted Sunday night has gotten a TON of views. Like over 470. And the set as a whole has gotten a bunch of views and the individual pictures in the set have each gotten way more than normal for me. I can't figure out why and it's freaking me out some.
That happened to me too (and it was a terrible picture). I figured it was on the front page for a bit. But power users would know better than my speculating.
It depends on the tags on the flickr photos. The ones of my broken toe got over 400 hits--it's tagged "toes" so I'm assuming fetishists cruising the site have been downloading my scruffy pedicure and bruised pinkie toe.
The one of Olivia naked in the backyard pool got over 700 hits and I yanked it because it creeped me out beyond belief. I don't tag my kids' photos and am more selective of which ones I put up.
When one of my pictures started getting a lot of hits, I was able to find out the site that was linking to it via technorati.
If you're a Flickr Pro user, you can now see your referral stats, but you have to wait 24 hours to see who is linking to you.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!
just went and privated all mac pics.
am hungry.

The stats are saying it's all coming through flickr. And it's just tagged with my niece and my brother's first names.

I had one posted of my friend's little boy naked (totally modestly shot and I asked his parents if it was okay for me to post it) and it was getting more views than I felt comfortable with so I made it viewable by friends or family only. creepy.
But this shot that's getting a ton of views now... there is no nakedness!
Because I trust you guys, it's this picture:

So weird!
That's just cute. And adorably captioned. I can see non-nefarious people pointing to it.
I have a couple of Flickr pictures that have gotten weirdly many hits. There are a LOT of foot fetishists out there with a lot of free time (since my photos aren't tagged at all, and the captions have nothing to do with feet, so what do they do, just browse randomly?). I haven't had any trouble with photos of the kids, oddly enough. I have had some very sketchy friend requests, like, you click into the profile to see if it's someone you know whose username you don't recognize, and it's all naked people over there. You can block people like that, FYI.
