Looking at the ten commandments last week for some background information for housegroup I put "ten commandments" into Google. In this secular society it will come as no surprised to some, and a real shock to others that only 5 of the top 10 hits had any scriptural reference. Others included on-line dating "the Mafia's top ten commandments". Several referred to the "bloggers' ten commandments". Since by the very fact that you are reading this (I hope someone is reading this) you have an interest in blogging so I list them below for your education and amazement.
1You shall not put your blog before your integrity
2 You shall not make an idol of your blog
3You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin (very appropriate this one in the week when a woman is seeking a divorce because she found her husband was having an affair in cyberspace)
4 Remember the Sabbath Day by taking one do off a week from your blog
5 Honour your fellow bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes
6 You shall not murder someone else's honour, reputation or feelings
7 You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind (see above)
8 You shall not steal another person's content
9 You shall not give false testimony against your fellow blogger
10 YOu shall not covety your neighbour's blog ranking.
Be content with your content
For the real thing try Exodus 20 or Deuternomy 5
Actually, cyberspace is the one place I have not been this week as the internet has been down at work since Monday. I can access remotely but that means being somewhere else when I should be in the office and that somewhere else having internet access. Although, that said, it is a good measure of just how reliant we are on the net. My usual daily e-log is 50+, the majority being things bounced back and forwards between colleagues. Accessing remotely kept it down to around 12 as I had to do old fashioned things like picking up the phone or even going to see someone.
The cost of living continues to rise with Bodybuilder on water getting a fine for parking in a bus lane and Jetski Boy shopping for his first car. Peter Jay (BBC Economics Editor) says that the way out of the credit crunch is for everyone to start spending again and that everyone should be given £400 on condition that they spend it immediately. Covering the cost of running a house, subsidising a flat and keeping three cars on the road - I am doing my best!
This is not necessarily all I wanted to say but Mrs Claus is anxious to read the next instalment so I will save and post now

Like those 10 commandments - very good! It is crazy, eh? My phone and internet were down for 3 days 2 weeks ago and my internet is on and off more often than a tart's underwear at the moment, and it has virtually sent me into cold turkey! I could manage without the phone more easily than without my internet connection. In my old age, I have finally become not just techno capable but techno reliant. Scarey...!! lol Cxx
