‘”Love is drowning In a deep well All the secrets And no one to tell…” U2, “Love is Blindness” I’ve spent the last few weeks thinking about and praying for a lot of friends. My contemporaries and I have started to hit the age where parents and even siblings are encountering serious, even life-ending, illness. … Continue reading »

Weight Loss, Round II: Oh, and by the way…
By good rights, I should be posting this on Wednesday, but I anticipate a strange week this week, so I probably won’t get a chance then. So… I’m pleased to say that my (very gradual) weight loss continues. I haven’t had a particularly good week or so eating wise, and I’ve (not intentionally, but due … Continue reading »
If You Really Knew Me …
… you would know that: I have a very off-the-wall sense of humor. Only a couple of people have ever seen it. One of them is my husband, and he doesn’t get it at all. I’m very quiet when you first meet me. If I talk to you a lot and ask you questions about … Continue reading »
They Got a Name for the Winners in the World …
Well, I haven’t won anything yet, but I’d like to. CraftGossip.com has a contest where you can win your heart’s desire from Etsy, the craft market (as long as it all costs less than $100). My own list would include: A really beautiful bracelet by Artisan Jouel. In the description, it’s said the bracelet can … Continue reading »
I’m Sorry For the Way Things Are …
Now that I’ve had some time to think, I really feel bad about posting what I did the other day. I’ve got several friends with REAL problems; children facing illnesses, legal issues before courts that blatantly ignore the facts and perpetuate injustice, other people trying to just get by and get jobs … and here … Continue reading »

I’m thankful for: My friends on the Combat! group who give me good feedback on my stories. If I’ve gotten … Continue reading »

Take a bow …
Today I am finishing the process of cleaning up at my old job, and saying goodbye to people I have known for quite awhile, as such things go. You accumulate a lot of ‘stuff’ over seven years, and I am throwing a lot away. At the same time, I am also gathering the really important … Continue reading »
Thank you for being my friend …
I’m closing in on 100 friends on Facebook. Not sure why; I’m not one of those people who friends everyone in sight including total strangers to rack up points. My latest ‘acquisition’ is a guy who’s even more of a Canadiens fan than I am. It’s interesting to read all his posts. Hope he doesn’t mind … Continue reading »
A little good news today …
I am so thrilled that Slovakia beat Sweden last night; they play Canada next (who really whomped on Russia –YES!) and I don’t know who to root for in that game … guess I’ll be neutral and ‘may the best team win!’ One of the local GM plants (Lordstown) will be adding a third shift. … Continue reading »
