I always get a chuckle over the long list of potential side effects.

I actually started it last week, but kept adding to the side effects as I thought of them.<br /><br /><i>" It's to the point now where I just ignore them."</i><br /><br />Me too! It's like I've become immune to them. Ha!<br /><br />Thanks. The website designer who I purchase this template from is very talented.

And what's really ironic is that last night while watching the tube, I saw several of these. It's to the point now where I just ignore them. Your list of side effects was stellar!

I took me awhile to choose a new template, but I finally decided on this one. It was actually very easy to install and customize, however, I had an issue with my Disqus comment widget working, but I finally figured out how to correct it by installing the code into the template myself. <br /><br />Ha! I couldn't resist that one about dancing the Salsa because it sounded so ridiculous, I just had to use it. I made the FIATO graphics on Canva, which is a free graphic design website. It's AWESOME!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, girl. Hope your week is well and that your work-related stuff worked out well too!<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-59295961272947024672021-01-28T08:49:57.717-05:002021-01-28T08:49:57.717-05:00Ron, I LOVE your new blog website design.

I love the black and white theme, and I also like how the posts flow up from the bottom on the home page. And yes, the slider is such a great attraction. Well done!<br /><br />This post is hysterical! I've been offline the past several days (work related stuff), so I wasn't able to read it until this morning. And what a great way to start my day, with laughter. " Are you suffering from constant hip and knee pain anytime you try to dance the Salsa? " LOL! And yes, I've seen these infomercials and think the same thing. They're ridiculous because the side effects are enough to scare anyone in to never trying it. I love the graphic you designed for FIATO! Especially the last one of the couple dancing and passing gas. LOL!<br /><br />Thank you for the funnies, Ron.

And all too accurate!<br /><br />I love how those horrible warnings come while the people in the commercial are smiling and doing tai chi or running through a field in slow motion. The contrast between the voiceover and the images is mind-blowing.<br /><br />There was a drug that was supposed to help people quit smoking and it came with a warning of--I swear to God--vivid nightmares and suicidal thoughts. That's even worse than penis shrinkage...I think. What the hell is in that stuff--LSD?!?<br /><br />I'll take my chances with Faito!<br /><br />Love the redesign, buddy!

HA! It's funn...Helloooooooooooo there, Elaine!<br /><br />HA! It's funny you mentioned that because I was talking with a good friend of my from Florida, who I use to do theater with, and told her that I had a feeling that I would be dabbling in the acting thing again. I don't know how or when, but I just had this feeling that I'd be getting involved somehow. Which is hilarious because right now (because of COVID) there are no theaters open, or have any idea when they will reopen. So we shall see.<br /><br /><i>"I don't know how these companies make any money because after hearing about the dangerous side effects, who would buy them?"</i><br /><br />Me as well. I actually laugh when I watch them because the side effects are insanely ridiculous, and actually hilarious. <br /><br />Thanks. Glad you like the new design. The web design is very, very good. She lives in Poland and is very sweet. We spoke a few times via email because I had a few questions, and she was so nice. I can customize a website, but not design one from scratch. I've taught myself over the many years of having blogs. I really enjoy it because I'm always learning something.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by. And YES....I sure as hell am enjoying the colder weather. LOVE it!!!!

I love the slider thingy and how the blog posts gently move into position. You did good, Ron! And I didn't know you customized websites.

Actually, the list was longer, but I decided it was probably too long, so I cut several of them.<br /><br />Thank you. And please tell your girlfriend I said thank you too. I really liked this template when I first saw it. There were two I was debating on, however, this one was the one I chose because of the colors and the Home page. No, I didn't take a class in customizing websites, I taught myself by reading up on it. I have a practice blog where I upload my templates and work on them first before uploading them to my public blog. I can customize a website, but I could never create one from scratch.
