It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is.
~So my latest addiction is Dog The Bounty Hunter, which comes on some random (non-cable) channel very late at night. I am totally loving it, but I am lost. Maybe it’s because I am half asleep when I am watching, but who in the world are all these people and how exactly are they all related?? I thought I needed a little cheat sheet for the Braverman’s? Ha! I need a straight up flow chart for Dog’s Crew!
~I used some new cream or lotion or scrub or something and now have some weird allergic reaction. It’s kinda like a heat rash on my chest. WTF? Don’t even tell me it’s something super scary because I have NOT consulted with Dr. Google (B has me banned for life) and would prefer to not know. This has me troubled, annoyed and confused all in one! Go away!
~I’m curious. Do people read sponsored posts? Or read about blog sponsors? Because, well, I don’t. I have bought ad spots on two (big) blogs in the three years I have been blogging (they were single 30 day spots) and I gotta tell you, I don’t think much came from it. Do people actually see benefits from it? I mean some people must right? Tell me! Oh and for the record, “My Friends” down in the right hand corner, really are my friends! I actually should add a blogroll down there too one of these days.
~Okay, can you all see a search button in the upper right hand corner of the page? It’s a little magnifying glass? I can see it, but I am not sure if it’s there for just me since I am logged in as the admin, or for everyone? I logged out the other day to look for it and I couldn’t find it. WTF? If it’s not there that must be pretty annoying to try search for something on here and I want to fix that ASAP if there’s no button!
~And finally, why in the world isn’t there a universal sound level for television channels? Why in the world are some commercials louder than the tv show you are watching? Why are some movies quiet while others are SCREAMING AT YOU. The volume constantly needs to be adjusted up and down to compensate for all these differences. There must be some sort of explanation for this out there? Anyone????
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
Now don’t laugh at me but I used to LOVE Dog about 2-3 years ago and I mean obsessed lol. Depending on how far you are through the season Dog & Beth arent Married till like season 3, Leland, Duane Lee, Baby Lyssa are 3 of his 12 kids that work with him, then you have the 2 younger kids that are theirs and then the older girl who is Beth’s from her first marriage or something. Tim is Dogs best friend (he was always my fav) although they aren’t related they share the same name and have worked together for YEARS. over the season you get to see more of the family and the wedding but towards the end you can see Beth got money hungry and a lot of the family don’t want to be around them anymore. Now I am going to hide after admitting I know to much about this family lol
The magnifying isn’t showing up for me. Music that’s louder than the broadcasters, like on the morning shows, annoys the sh*t out of me. I love Dog and his crew, Beth is my favorite. She doesn’t take crap from anybody.
-Is the rash like lots of tiny red bumps? I get that from certain products, fish oils, etc. It goes away once you stop using the product.
-There’s no search function for me!
-I totally agree about the volume. There should be partial mute buttons for a quick fix during action sequences in movies.
No search button…I have tried looking for one many a time 🙁
Don’t see a search button! Totally agree with the television volume. Some commercials are so loud they make you jump in your seat and when your show comes back on its so quiet you can’t hear it! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks this! 🙂
yup no search button here either…
just get some hydrocortizone cream for your allergic reaction and stop using whatever product that caused it… If it keeps happening to different lotions I’d go to the doctor to find out what is exactly causing it to keep that out of the house… I’m allergic to cocoa butter and that’s in TONS of lotions so I have to be careful with what I purchase… in the meantime I recommend trying Eucerin products as they are one of the very few I’m not allergic too as well as Episencial (quite a bit more expensive though) Good luck with this one
I just want to laugh at the advertisement on your page though… It’s Kmart rain boots scrolling through at the moment… If anyone is looking for rain boots for their toddler my MIL got my DD the green ones and everyone loves them! They are adorable and I’ve since gone out and gotten bigger sizes because there’s always a rainy day in the summer/fall to run and splash in puddles with.. Thanks for sharing your Tuesday Troubles with us 🙂
Dog is so interesting. He?s Native American / Hawaiian with blonde hair?! His first marriage was to a woman named La Fonda who divorced him (and married his bff) when he went to Jail in Texas. While in jail he was his warden?s barber?? Dog?s been married 4 times. With La Fonda he has Duane Lee, and Leland. With Anne he has Zebadiah, Wesley, and J.R. With Lyssa he has Barbara Katie, Tuker, Lyssa, and Nicholas. With Beth he has Bonnie and Garry. Out of Wedlock he has James and Christopher. I think that?s 13 children with 5 or 6 woman.

I could spend way too long reading about his life? it?s frickin crazy town.
There is no magnifying glass/search feature at the top right of the page, but a search button appears for me right above your Instagram photos on the right.
The volume thing annoys the hell out of me too, and I can never find the remote when something starts booming out loudly!

no search button for me either.
I love the yuppie traveler blog from you friend, i have so much to catch up on her blog she has a great life! Also have to check out the other 2 you added there below her.
Only search feature I show is the one under the email subscription box!
I love Dog The Bounty Hunter, one of my favorite shows! 🙂
Nope, no search button. I don’t really get the sponsored stuff…not sure if it works or not. I am trying out to see, but I just don’t know if I want to spend money to have my blog listed way down at the bottom of a page with a million others, you know?
I don’t think I really read sponsered posts? Or if I do, nothing changes 😉 I read guest posts!
The search shows up for me under the email subscription and above the Instagram pictures. As for blog sponsors, I never really pay attention to them and don’t really see the point.
Totally agree about the inconsistent TV volume! And the background music on some of the shows is so loud that you can’t hear the dialog! DH refuses to watch Hawaii Five-O because he can’t hear what they’re saying half the time. 🙁
Totally agree with you about commercials! Thank goodness for remotes!
As for the rash, I’m not a doctor but it sounds like contact dermatitis from the product. If it is, stopping the product will make it disappear. Good luck!
I’m so happy to see the new search button addition to your blog!!! I’ve looked for it a couple times before and figured perhaps it was hiding.
I totally agree with you on the need for uniform volume levels on shows, commercials, and any programming for that matter! I thought they (the programming gods) sorta put some restrictions on the volume of commercials within the past few years but I could be mistaken because I’ve noticed it still happens! 🙁
I know this is off the topic BUT….OMG DID YOU HEAR ABOUT FARRAH FROM TEEN MOM?! Yeah, I’m not even talking about the drunk driving complete denial. She apparently made a naughty video…cray cray!
I don’t see the search button either. And the tv volume thing makes me nuts!
I see your search box…is that what you mean?
So I don’t see the search button either and it is funny that you mentioned it because the other day was searching for an old post here and thought I should post a comment that you should have a search button
So agree with the volume remover that super smart they once had that had an auto volume control I never had one but I wonder how did that not catch on its awesome
Hah you’re like my boyfriend! He worries too much. And I hope you’ve stopped worrying because I bet the rash went away. 😉
I think the only way for sponsored posts to work is if it is very relevant to the blog’s readership and the blogger writes up a nice person review/story. Otherwise it’s just robotic (boring) and fake. I actually just read Buyology, which talks about product placement in shows being completely ineffective unless the product is integrated into the storyline. Just showing it does nothing for the brand.
You know, I was going to ask you to add a search box to your blog when I realized you use WP so I just had to add /?=searchterm to your URL to find stuff. That was my hack!
Ah a universal sound level!!! YES I have wanted that too. Watching videos online produces similar outcomes, with ads blasting at you when the video is at “normal” volume.
Ha! My husband has also banned me from Dr. Google. I can look up something simple like a cold symptom and convince myself I’m dying. But your rash sounds normal. I get it too when I use certain products (especially certain sunscreens for some reason).
I *love* Dog! I watched it pretty much from the beginning, but started to lose interest towards the end. I was tired of them leaving the islands and where they started to constantly go bounty hunt for other people in Colorado. It just didn’t have the same feel. But depending on how old the episodes are, all the people working for him are family — Leland, Dwayne Lee, Baby Leesa — they are a few of his MANY MANY kids. Big Boobs … she’s his wife. If Young Blood aka Tim is on there, its an older episode — and that’s his brother. It does get really interesting near the end: lots of personal drama. Dog gets arrested trying to collect a bounty on someone that slipped down to Mexico. Leesa gets arrested for public intoxication and creating a big scene with her ex husband. Dwayne Lee becomes a lazy ass and “doesnt want anyone telling him what to do anymore, because he’s a grown up” — its pretty comical.
Contact dermatitis is a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with a foreign substance. Only the superficial regions of the skin are affected in contact dermatitis. Inflammation of the affected tissue is present in the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) and the outer dermis (the layer beneath the epidermis).;..:-
