9:31am: Gosh
I just realized how long it has been since I posted here.
Not that I have anything profound to say.  I have been kinda busy, diagnosed with lung cancer. ( no I don't smoke) Going through being in 2 different hospitals, radiation, etc.  No, I am not cured,  The tumor is inoperable and too close to my heart and major arteries.  But I am getting by, taking it day by day.
Other than that, nothing new to report.

9:46am: Is everyone ok?
Please, all our friends in New Zealand, check in and let us know you are ok.

11:31am: VALENTINES DAY
A Very Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

9:39am: Having fun?
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I have family down from Pennsylvania for the holidays.  One of them has to fly back today to Philadelphia.  What do you think her chances are of getting a flight out of Orlando?
It's very cold here, but thank God, no snow.

12:33pm: SMALL RANT
Can someone tell me why men who use uni-sex bathrooms can't lock the door when they are inside???

10:02am: My summer
It's been a while since I posted.  Let's see, this has been a strange summer.  
1st, a leak in the plumbing that runs under my bedroom floor caused my floor to collapse.  (The floors in these manufactured homes are particle board, which does NOT like getting wet.)  So I had to get the leak fixed and replace the floor.
2nd, the water heater leaked and had to be replaced along with the compartment around it.
3rd, a high wind ripped the trim off the whole side of my home and had to be put back up.
4th, my 9 year old car broke down 2x in 2 weeks and had to be towed.
Since I fixed or replaced everything else that went wrong, I decided there was only one thing to do.  So for the first time in my life, I went out and bought a new car.  A 2010 red Hyundai Elantra.  What an experience.
Now I am fighting a wireless router that spends more time down that it does running.  And the tech people do not speak english.
How has your summer been?

10:28am: AGAIN?
ATP suspended again?  I contributed last time, but I guess there weren't enough contributions to keep things going for long.


UPDATE: It seems that a hacker got their site and sent thousands of spam mails. They are trying to fix things. Hackers should be burned at the stake.

11:12am: HEY!!

All of the sudden my friends page is in really giant print!   What happened?

9:38am: HUH-WHAT HAPPENED??
I just tried to click onto ATP and it came up "ACCOUNT SUSPENDED"  Anyone know what happened??  Is it just me or what?

12:16pm: SAY WHAT??
You know things are seriously out of wack when you live in central Florida and your local weatherman is on the noon news telling you about the SNOW and/or SLEET  you can look for later this evening!!

11:31am: 2010
I want to wish everyone a HAPPY, PROSPEROUS, PEACEFUL NEW YEAR. May 2010 be better than 2009.

9:23am: I just want to wish everyone a Happy, Joyous, Merry or Blessed, whatever you celebrate at this time of the year.

9:28am: Long time
Ok, I haven't posted here for a few months. Long story short--had problems, went to doctor, had extensive tests, scheduled for surgery on June 22, diagnosed with cancer, removal of several organs that really were no longer useful at my age, am home recovering, not as fast as I would like, still need radiation treatments.
That's it in a nutshell.

9:25am: Enough already!!
We are facing the ninth consecutive day of heavy rain. The street behind me is flooded and the water is creeping up peoples driveways. Part of our county has been declared a disaster area, and more rain is predicted for the rest of the week.
Even worse are the water moccasins swimming in the water-UGH!!! I hate snakes.

9:01am: I love trees--but
This is getting so tiresome. We had one of those sudden, violent Florida storms yesterday and this morning another tree went down in my yard. This one is hung up on another tree and must be taken down. This makes the fourth tree I have had to pay to get removed. At this rate, I'll be bankrupt.

5:29pm: Am I the only one who found this funny?
Best laugh I have had in a long time, and proof that there must not be any gay men in the republican party.
Last night I giggled my head off watching Rachel Maddow trying to keep a straight face while reporting a story about the republicans having tea parties and sending President Obama teabags. While she was reporting this "teabagging" of the president, men off camera were laughing wildly.
If you don't know why they were laughing, I suggest you Google "Urban Dictionary" and look up "teabagging".

9:30am: NO! NO! NO!
I am not ready for this! I'm too young.
On Wednesday the 18th, I became a GREAT-GRANDMOTHER!
A little girl, Guiliana Marie.
I need a martini

11:29am: Take Care
I hope any of my firends out there who live in Australia are well out of the way of the fires. Please be careful.

10:47am: New Year
I want to wish every one out there a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Please be careful tonight if you are out and driving.

9:34am: Since it's approaching very quickly, and I may not get the chance later, I want to wish all of you out there a Merry, Blessed, Happy, Joyous or Holy whatever you happen to celebrate at this time of the year.
My son and his wife are coming to visit from Pennsylvania, and they are bringing their 2 border collies, much to the dismay of my 2 chihuahuas. Oh Joy.

10:01am: Not again!
Is there a problem with midnight-whispers site again? I haven't been able to access it for 2 days. All I get is "Fatal Error cannot connect to database".
I get withdrawal symptoms when this happens.

10:07am: Thanksgiving
Have a Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it tomorrow. Please drive carefully if you are traveling.
To those who don't celebrate tomorrow, have a wonderful day anyhow.

11:52am: Night Visitor
The bear came back. He decided on a late night snack and was raiding trash. Still couldn't get a picture because it was too dark and I wasn't going to get close enough for my flash to work.

9:42am: Didn't get the entire story
So I clicked on CNN Headline news this am, just in time to catch the tail end of their story on Gale. It's about time one of the mainstream news shows mentioned it. Wish I could have heard the whole thing.
I wish Gale the best and a swift recovery.

9:08am: I HATE VISTA!!
Grrrr! I don't know what it is with VISTA, but every so often, I open my documents file, only to find that VISTA has decided on its own to rearrange things or change the way I view the files.
For instance, I put my files in order of the date entered. VISTA decided yesterday to put them in alpha order. Then changed the way I view them from details to something else. I don't want a operating system that thinks it knows better than I do, even if it's right.
