I upgraded one of my other blogs recently to WordPress 3.4.2 and was able to enter the admin area and move around a bit, but would get an error message at odd intervals:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12345678 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12345 bytes) in /home/domains/website/subfolder/files/root/wp-admin/admin-header.php on line 126

The Doug & Lydia Show: What is Important?
Doug and I talk about news and what is important about the news that is delivered. For instance, is wondering whether or not Ashley Judd’s involvement in a Funny or Die video mocking Rick Santorum a bad career move really important? What about speculation over Obama eating dog meat at age six in Indonesia and Mitt Romney making his dog sick during a car trip years ago?... Continue Reading

Check this @#$! out!

Can I tell you how much I love Al Franken?
I read a few of Al Franken’s books before he became a U.S. Senator. One is a very short book entitled Oh, the Things I Know! It is hysterical.
If you are aware of him before his Senate days, then you know he is a very funny man. I was thrilled to get a message from Senator Al Franken’s campaign headquarters that is just as humorous as I remembered him in his books... Continue Reading
If you’re in a relationship with an overbearing person…
I had this thought today and wanted to write about it, because I have some perspective.
If you are a shy person who finds yourself in a relationship with an overbearing person who 1) doesn’t listen to you, or 2) answers questions for you, or both, you need to get bold. Here is some good advice for why you must speak up for yourself:
Someone who overpowers you and... Continue Reading










This site is dedicated to photography, watercolor art, knitted things and my Francophile tendencies. I also post light technical support ideas for neat web design tricks and fixes, and I have been known to occasionally rant about nonsense.
The company name is Don’t Brake My Art. A command and a cute turn of phrase.
