Episode 500 is next week and just in time we have a new system for submitting art work for the show https://wppluginsatoz.com/artwork/. You can also view the art work from the past. Currently you can see all the submissions for Episode 500 here https://wppluginsatoz.com/show-art-submitted/ and you can even vote on the art work.

Just a reminder we are now in the 48th week of 2 weeks to flatten the curve from the Rona. The greatest Scam perpetrated on the entire world at once. Prepare now for the annual holiday of only 2 weeks to flatten the curve.

With great appreciation for the No Agenda Show for their inspiration of ideas and the occasional stolen sound clip.

This is a value for value show and I look forward to everyone providing some value back.

Before I get started, you will want to hang around to the end of the show for our Q & A segment with Amber…. and to those listening on the podcast, you may want to check out the YouTube version which has some great discussions before the show starts…

Ambers Rant:

This is #7 of 52 episodes for 2021. Its Episode 499, last one before we hit #500!! I wonder what we should do for episode 500? It would be cool if we could play the episode backwards for the podcast listeners or something – but it seems like a lot of work… not really even sure how we would do that…

Now onto my bit about the Zone Out Spaces! To create your own Zone Out Space, please do the following: Retreat from the world to under a blanket, curl up on the couch, listen to some shows with no news hours, or to books! And don't forget the drink! Irish Tea is my current favorite.

And remember – don't be afraid to tell your kids to bugger off for an hour – it's totally allowed to demand they not bother you unless they are broken, dying, or bleeding for the entirety of the hour! Maybe help them to create their own zone out spaces, than walk away quietly while they are ‘arranging' it – you will more than likely get about an hour all to yourself this way. Just don't crumple any chip bags….

Remember, remove all social media and main stream news from your zone out time!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.

We have some news from the world of WordPress for you today as well as some great plugins.
