Yeah... that time of the year again! Time to talk some more football! 
Not only am in TWO fantasy leagues where you have to pick players (& commish of one of them)... I also have a league (which I commish) in which you pick the winning team each game for each week.
Honestly, it's EXTREMELY easy!!!
Why am I trying to "sell" this?... because... I need at least TWO more players to sign up for the league... why? Because the top 3 winners at the end of the season gets trophies in their profiles... as long as I have at least 6 users signed up!!
So, if you'd like to give it a try... CLICK HERE...
Group id is: 27435
psswd: 2008pfp
The max amount of players we can have is 50!! I've also posted this in Yahoo Answers... however, I'd rather compete against my friends!!
If at least 2 of you sign up, I will hurry up & delete my Yahoo Answers question!!!!
So... HURRY UP & CLICK THAT LINK ABOVE & sign up!!! Please?? 
I could really use some help from you all... as for who to pick in Fantasy Football (FFL).
Now mind you... I already know about the top picks... What I need help with is the Wide Receivers (WR) & the Tight Ends (TE).
Then I'm going to need help putting all my picks into order!! Who should I go for first, 2nd & so on!!
I am participating in my 1st ever LIVE (offline) draft. (No, Dudge, it's not the league I created... it's a different league!) ... If you all remember last year at this time (on 360) I did a blog about how some members of our church has a league set up. Well, this year they expanded it to 14 teams... & it seems I may get to be that 14th team!!! YIPEE!! (I say maybe, because 1 person has not replied yet... & if not, I have to be ready to jump in!!... I'm hoping they don't show! Because I'm all excited about this now!!!)
Even though I'm excited... and even though I participated in a couple leagues last year... I still don't know that much about football... well, not enough about WR & TE to make a decent decision...
I just know that I would like to have Hines Ward (if he isn't drafted before I get him!)
So... for you football fans out there... who are your top picks for WR & TE's.
Keep in mind... I will be the 12th pick 1st round... 3rd pick 2nd round... 12th pick 3rd round & so on. So... I probably won't get to pick players like LT or Tony Romo! (I'll just be thrilled if I can get a few of the Pittsburgh players I want! ... That will be tough... because my hubby & at least one other league member is big Pittsburgh fans!!)
So, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!
(Next blog hopefully will be a video blog!!!)
Yep, it's that time of the year again... Football is under way! Pre-Season started last week & FFL (Fantasy Football Leagues) are in gearing up.
With that said... I am looking for JUST ONE MORE TEAM for my league! For those who are familiar with FFL... my league is with YAHOO & it is not hard at all! We will Auto Pick for draft & we will be going "Ready" in 2 weeks or less.
So, if you are a Football fanatic & would like to join me & 11 other teams in a fight for a virtual trophy (& bragging rights!)... please leave a message below... & I will send you the info needed. 1st one to reply will be in... However... if you see someone already grabbed that last spot... please still speak up... because no teams are "locked" yet. So, I may need a back up!
Oh, by the way... if you love football & have not ever done FFL, my league is easy enough to be able to make this your 1st year! (How easy... well, last year was my 1st year & I WON!!!... ... & I am NOT that knowledgeable in football. I know enough!!)
If you need help, I'm only a click away! :)
Thanks for your time & GO STEELERS!!!!!!!
I have several things to talk about today... Starting with this picture... I just think I need some chocolate to go with my mood! Why do I look so sad & why am I in a robe with Kleenex's all around me... No, I'm not sick, not physically anyway. I'm just really tired & worn out. I think it's just what I mentioned the other day... It's a bad ACM day... ok, not day... week! I've been feeling quite "down" for almost a week now. 
My appointment to go over my thyroid blood results was to be last week. However, I had received a call saying the CNP (Certified Nurse Practitioner) had a family emergency & they had to reschedule.
Thankfully my meds don't run out until the day after the rescheduled appointment!! Anyway, I have a feeling she'll be increasing the strength of my thyroid medication!! I was doing ok for a couple weeks... but now I am going back down! (I still think the ACM has something to do with it... I really need to get an expert opinion about this!!) 
Anyway, I just thought I'd have a little fun with my avatar!! That's how I look sometimes in the winter! Cup o' tea & pink fuzzy robe! Comfy!! 
If it wasn't so stinking hot out, I think I'd be in my sweats still... but I actually got up & cleaned up! LOL... In case you're not a regular, or close friend, you'll know that's a feat for me some days! 
Update... Hubby's hand is healing just fine! He took out his own stitches on Friday, because it was causing him pain. However, the cut was a bit swollen & he was upset he didn't have antibiotics (pills, not salve!). (Which, if you only knew him... he must have really been in pain to want meds!!!) Anyway, he had me set an appointment with the doctor from the ER (who they recommended he follow up with), & so he went today & the doc said it's fine. No antibiotics or nothing needed! (Except usual cleaning, putting Neosporin on it & etc.) 
He's not letting it slow him down. Since he was off early today to see the doc, he's now out mowing the back yard. It was getting pretty high! ... I didn't do it because he complains when I do it... so, no more! 
Except when he goes to Russia! Even then, I'll just be mowing with the riding mower & not going to do any trimming & etc! Hopefully he won't be gone that long... If so, I may have to break down & do it, or recruit one of my neighbors. .. who offered before I asked!! Great neighbors... wish they were the ones next door instead of one house in between us!! (Long story!!) 
Speaking of his trip to Russia... He told me today they finally received their Visas! (not sure if that's the correct spelling or not... but you get the idea!). So it's any day now that he will be leaving!
I have made it known to my family, they can't count on me for anything, until he leaves... because I have to be "on call" to take him to the airport! Which I really don't mind! I don't want him to go!!!... but I'm actually looking forward to some alone time! Ok, i won't be alone... the dogs will still be here & I have all you!!! Besides he's going to be paid "handsomely" for this trip!! 
Ok, next subject is FFL (Fantasy Football League)... just sending a quick thank you out to those who joined!! League is now full! It's now set to ready for auto draft. So, I probably will blog again once it's complete to let you know how it worked out for me! 
Also, I have a separate blog started for my Princess Diana tribute. I am using the user name "Queen of Hearts" for this page. 
If you want to become a regular reader, please feel free to invite me... however, PLEASE, personalize your invite to let me know you're from here!! Because I don't want to deny you if I don't recognize you. 
Moving on... If you know me from Yahoo Answers, I thought I better let you know... It will become less & less of a distraction for me, (I hope)... at least for awhile... because I now will be concentrating on FFL & my Queen of Hearts site. Not to mention this blog!! Oh, & Nascar is about to go into "The Chase", so I'll might be starting a blog just for that, too! Yikes! Overload!! 
Why am I even thinking of creating another blog? 
Well, because I need to put certain subjects I enjoy into one place so I can use them as examples when I "apply" for Pro Blogging jobs.
My egg has hatched!! 
I will post a new blog in a few to introduce you to Puffy!! 
One last note for this blog... I am going to stop highlighting all my blogs! I'm going to start doing a "week in review" (Starting Saturday, I think!) that will highlight each of my blogs. (The highlighted list only works 1/2 the time, for 1.... 2nd, my list is getting extremely long & I need to have certain blogs at the top!!... The ones about my memory block!) Thought I'd mention this, so if you start to see my list dwindling down, you'll know why!
Now time for me to go get things set up for the big introduction of Puffy! 
I need SIX more teams so we can set auto draft date! I've set this up for beginners, but you do not have to a beginner! If you've never done the FFL thing & truly enjoy football... I'd highly suggest giving it a try! 
If you are a beginner at FFL, what better way to try than with a 1st year league commissioner?!! 
Just so you know, my hubby is helping me out with the settings & etc. He has his own team & I have mine! He will NOT be helping me with my team... I am doing this, so I can learn... In case our church league ever needs an extra team! (And so I can understand when my hubby is talks about it!!) 
I have posted this in Yahoo Answers and I was given the suggestion to post it here. (I briefly mentioned it before, but figured I need to give this it's own blog, since I am stuck at 6. (I need 6 more!!) 
The league name is: 4FFL Beginners
(but you don't HAVE to be a beginner.)
Id #: 512938
Password: 2007ffl
Please send me a message if you have any questions.
Unlike Yahoo's default settings, this will be EASY FAIR & COMPETITIVE!! 
Only need 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, DEF to be playing. You'll be able to have 6 Benched players for bye weeks!
Scoring is much simpler & fair too!!
You can get started right here: Yahoo Fantasy Football...
Yes, it's free!! 
Please email me if you have any other questions! I really want to get the draft set in the next couple days!!! 
If you're already a part of a league, you CAN be in more than one.
So...
Yes, Maegan, I'm blogging a lot today! LOL!! 1st this quick note... about FFL...
If you like football & would like to be a part of my Fantasy Football League (FFL), please email me & I'll send you the info on how to join! I have it named as 4FFL Beginners... but you don't HAVE to be a beginner to share in the fun!!
Ok... I am on a roll today... hey, it's keeping me out of Yahoo Answers! LOL
Anyway, I received an email from, a friend, someone I don't think is a member of 360... It is the same thing I was trying to convey in my "Think Before You Flame" blog... about kids now a days... Here it is... (pay close attention to Jay Leno's comment at the end! So, well, you know!!! LOL)
Those Born 1930-1984!
TO ALL THE KIDS
WHO SURVIVED the
1930's 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's & 80 thru 84!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who, while they were pregnant took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or
cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a war m day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because .
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back for dinner & went back most weekdays til the street lights went on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms...... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! (Ok, I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have the computer & cell phone, now!! LOL)
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, and although we were told it would happen, some of us actually played with BB guns, were careful and did not put out our eyes. or anyone else's.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.
They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!
If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good.
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.
The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,"Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"
For those that prefer to think that God is not watching over us....go ahead and ignore this.
For the rest of us...
Well, I can't say forward, feel free to send this link to your friends & family!! Wow! That's exactly what I've been trying to say for years now!!! (Including same thing as Jay Leno!!!)
(Sorry, no poll this time!)
I think this will be enough for today... what do you think?? 
Have a GREAT day, what's left!! 
The LCC FFL Draft is under way!! (LCC = Our church's name, abbreviated. FFL = Fantasy Football League.)
Well, I went over to get a "free lunch" (Thanks BL & Holiday S.!!) because today is draft day for their FFL.
I was showing of pictures & videos to the "Dorky Commish's" wife while the 1st 4 rounds were happening.
They took a break & I decided I better leave before things got a little more crazier than what they already were!
Besides I had to go to Wal-Mart (yes, for the 4th day in a row... hopefully the last time for a while!!) & get some cleaning supplies that I forgot all about the past few days!!
And so I can come home & blog with pictures of these nuts!! 
Pictures? 
What pictures you ask ... coming up... Instead of using their names, I am going to put the person's team name under the photo... From left to right!
Unfortunately, not all the teams made it... however, Team Petty & Coop's Troops were on speaker phone with Dorky Commish. The Skeptics had the Not Yet Studious picking for her & C-Town Thunderbolts... (have no idea who this is or where they were... but I'm sure hubby would know!) 
Listening to all them was just hilarious! Well, they're a funny group to start with!! I mean, come on... just look at their team names!! 
(The pictures aren't the greatest, but it works for me!!... they were taken with my cell phone & look at all the lights that were on!! Also, this was during their 1st break!!) 
Not Yet Studious (BL) (& no, he was not flipping anyone off... he was throwing something at the Dorky Commish), OsamaBinDawgpound (Big Cleveland Browns fan!)
... TEASING!! , Ultimate SteelHeads (My hubby, the Steelers fan, 
among all them Browns fans! ...& No, I didn't see that the paper was in the way of his face!! He will like that anyway, because he hates having his pic taken!!) & standing by the fish tank is Holiday S. (S is her 1st name & I'm not posting that! She is also a huge Cleveland Browns fan ... & she's VERY knowledgeable of football... so she gives these guys great competition!!)
Sitting in front of the fish tank is the Dorky Commish's wife.
(She was there to fill in for anyone... If needed. However, she didn't need to.)
Team BAZZ (remember this was during a break. That's why he's reading a magazine! He's also a Steeler's fan!!), Dorky Commish, Hibulpinators (have no clue what that's about!!), The Main Street Maulers (Hibulpinators' younger brother.)
Here's a closer look at : Hibulpinators & The Main Street Maulers...
...and a closer look at the Dorky Commish
(He was trying to get Team Petty & Coop's Troops back on speaker,
so they could get going again!)
Well that's the lot of them! I just thought you'd enjoy reading all their team names.
So, here's another poll for you!! (JUST ADDED!! 8-20-07 5:31 a.m.)
Also, if I can, I will try to post about Hurricane Dean in a little bit... it's just that hubby is home & I don't know if he's needing the computer!! Maybe he will let me use it for a while now that the draft is over... we shall see!! 1st I need to make a call... my weekly call to my dad (who lives in California!) 
Take care & talk to you soon! 
P.S. Did you notice that I changed the name of this blog & the comment with it?I think it's just fits, don't you?? Thanks to Sunshine303. (also known as Sunshine TC, in Yahoo Answers!)... she's the one who came up with the name, when I asked it in Yahoo Answers!!
