I also am leaving Mutliply, sort of...

I will NOT delete this account, so I can still keep in contact with those who don't follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or other blogs.

Once I'm established on another blog site, I'll post it for you, in case you wish to bookmark, or whatever. (It will be a site where anyone (with or without membership) can leave comments. More than likely will be Word Press or Blogger. (I already have blogs set up on both... just need to figure which one I like best.) ;)

Thank you all for the years of support & friendship!

Please, if you'd like to, feel free to follow me on Facebook, please leave a reply below & I'll send you my info... as long as I've known you for a long time! ;)

Or if you're a Twitter person, my handle is LadyHarley99 (just let me know yours, so I do not block you... and you can do so below, or in a PM.)

~Toodles for now!~

P.S. This is a "contacts only" blog. Thanks :)

Howdy!! (contacts only!)

Hi ya all... I know I haven't been around. As I've said before in several blogs... I do a lot of stuff on Facebook now.

I haven't left here... just haven't been in the mood to really blog... mainly because I'm saying all I want to on my Facebook.

So, if anyone wishes to keep up to date with me, please feel free leave a message below & then I'll send you a PM with details how to connect with me there.

I know quite a few of you are already there with me... & I truly appreciate it. However, there are several of you I miss talking with... but I don't want to push by sending you the info... unless you want it.

IF you don't wish to join me on Facebook... you can always follow me on Twitter... my handle there is: LadyHarley99 (that's linked to my Twitter page) ... If you follow me & your handle is different than what it is here please send me a PM (or reply below, if you don't mind others seeing your handle) & let me know what your name is on Twitter... That way, when I get the email notification of you following me & I go to the page, I won't block you. (Make sense?)

Thank & hope to see you either on Facebook, Twitter OR both! ;)

P.S. I will still blog here once in a while... along with still posting short stories for the UFC. (Which by the way, I will be doing one next week, because it's my challenge.) ;)

Arizon or bust!!

Where did that saying come from... Your destination or bust??? (Just thinking out loud!)

In less than 24 hours I should be aboard a plane bound for Dallas where I'll change planes & then be headed to Phoenix.

Wow... my trip is ALMOST here!! WHEW!! Last couple days I've been bouncing off the wall, practically! I'm SOOOO NERVOUS!! AND excited!!

Mainly nervous that about flying. I love to fly... but I didn't have a good flight last year. The pressure was unbelievable... plus my back injury didn't help either.

Well, this time, I will be more prepared & I know what to expect. Plus, my back has been pretty good for more than a week now... KNOCK ON WOOD!! I can't say that it will be like that when I arrive in Az... but we'll see... As I said, I'm prepared... with Ibuprofen and of course Vicodin!

I can't talk to long... I still need to run to Wal-Mart to get a couple things I've forgot last time I went... (read: didn't have enough cash at the time!) Stuff like GUM... I'm going to need GUM for the plane!! I usually will go through about 4 pieces in one flight. Mainly because I have to spit out what I chewed during take off to eat. & Gum pieces now are little... need 2 pieces!! LOL!!

Can you tell, I'm nervous?? I'm also nervous, because I'm afraid of missing my flight... or they'll find my bags to be too heavy or ... well, anything & everything!!

I don't know how I'll miss my flight... it's at 1:50p & we're leaving the house at 10a & it only takes about 90 minutes to get to the airport from our house. So... I think I'll have plenty of time to get there!! LOL.

What really has me nervous is my connecting flight... it's only 40 minutes in between. And I just saw that I have to go from terminal A to terminal C... & I hear Dallas FW is a huge airport... I just hope they have one of them electric carts waiting at the gate!!

I sure hope my departure from Columbus isn't late!!

Ok, it's almost 3:00p & I want to go & get home so I can come back & relax & get to sleep early...

Oh, speaking of... last 2 nights I've gone to bed at a decent time... & again for the 2nd day today, I woke up in the morning!! 8:00a.m.!! WOO HOO! (Yesterday I was up at 6:00a.m.!!) Let's just hope this trip & the jet lag doesn't mess me up again!!

Before I go... below is my Twitter "badge" ... you can use that to read updates that I'll be texting while at airports & etc.

To see past "tweets" just click the arrows on the badge. :o) This is also on my front / home page in my Welcome box.

That's about it for now. Take care everyone & I'll see you in Arizona!! (Yeah, I'll blog while I'm there... just like last year!!) I'll even post some pics too!

Toodles & oodles of *HUGS* for all!! :o)

Here's the poll I was talking about in a prior blog...

I am looking at taking at least the top 3 or 5 & using them in my writing challenge.

Thanks to all gave me a ton of stuff to choose a Top 10 list.... & keep an eye open for the stories! (From United Friends Challenge aka UFC.)

On a different note, I may be a little scarce for this week. I'll be working on my story for the challenge... and my book that I started in November... I need to try keep up with it. For I have a feeling that I'll be writing while on the planes next month.

If you'd like to see what I'm up to... I've been trying to keep my Twitter updated. So, you can click that link for my quick notes. (You'll have to read the ones that do NOT have the @ symbol before a person's user name... Them are just replies directed to that person... PM me if you have any questions about it.) :o)

That's all for now. Toodles & **HUGS**

P.S. Please tell you friends about this poll... (withOUT sending mass PM's! This is probably going to be the only time I'll ask this... & I'm asking it because I need a lot of votes to help me decide the Top 3 or 5. They don't have to read the blog, if they don't want to... they can just run in to vote & hop on out.) Thanks! :)

Poll has been removed... here are the RESULTS:

1st: High speed internet (that would include email & all related stuff like WiFi) 15 votes

2nd: Digital cameras & video cameras AND Printer / scanner / copier / Fax machines (them all in ones for home use!) - 2 votes each

3rd: DVR / Tivo instead of a VCR & Compact Cell Phones & camera phones - 1 vote each

MP3 players didn't get any votes... & I know it was tough to include the internet in with all the rest... So, I went ahead & included MP3 players in my challenge, even though it didn't have any votes.

I'll be posting my story in answer to my challenge in a couple days... So then you'll be able to see what all the fuss what about.

Thanks again for all your help!! :o)

Follow me to Twitterland... (edited)

Do you "Tweet"??

I joined & I post updates a lot!

 

 1

I'm there, but not often.

 

 2

I've thought of it, but haven't yet.

 

 2

Never heard of Tweet Twitter, until your blog.

 

 0

Sounds like fun, maybe I'll give it a try.

 

 0

Not interested at all!

 

 2

Blast instead of blogging, that's more my style... where do I sign up? (Oh, I see the link in your blog now.)

 

 0

Are you nuts?? I already have a ton of online things to check on now.

I'll leave you my own answer.

Ok... I had been tossing it back & forth whether I should join Twitter or not. I really didn't need another blogging community.

Well, I found out tonight, it's not really a blog... It's really a way to put up "blast" messages. (If you used to be (or still are) on Y!360... you'll know what I mean.) Anywhoo... I finally signed up tonight!

"Follow me" if you wish... but I will warn you, if you're someone who likes to chat... ALL your "updates" and "replies" to other "Tweeters" are public... UNLESS you set it to be private. Only problem with setting it to private... is that those who are not a "follower" of yours won't see it... so, if you're wanting to Tweet to someone not on your list... I don't think they'll see your message. I think.

Now... why is this fun & what made me start all of a sudden tonight? ... Well, I had Abrams & Bettes (The Weather Channel) on in the background a couple hours ago... & Mike Bettes was trying to set a new Virgina Tech Wind Tunnel testing record (which he did @ 133 mph!!)... & they were asking viewers to "tweet" our questions.

Well, I did & I actually got ON THE AIR!! ... Well, my user name & my question was! THAT WAS SOOOOO COOOL, I tell ya... it caught me off guard, because it was almost the end of their "show". (Can't really call that a show... but still) Anyway... guess what? I taped it! I'll have to upload it later.

Alright... another reason for this blog is because Abrams & Bettes were challenged to get 10,000 "followers" in 90 days... So, I'm here to help... If you're at all interested in Twitter (or already there) & enjoy them on The Weather Channel... so, why not follow them.

No, you won't get a ton of email... unless you set your settings wrong. Hardly any email as a matter of fact. If you join, beware...
1. it's addicting, if you're that type of a person. (LOL!)
2. you might get an odd "follower" or two... if so, just block them. (I had 2 right off the bat. I think they were spammers.)
3. It's addicting... oh, I said that already.

Another reason I joined was because I know a couple of you are already there... AND because I had been looking for something where I could just do a little quick update without having to doing any blogging. So, this ought to be interesting.

If you're REALLY into letting your friends know what you're up to... you can Tweet (that's what it's called when you post an update.) from your cell phone. I won't be doing that because I don't have unlimited messaging. If I did... I would!! ... Though I may set it up so I can tweet while on my trip... so you all know where I'm at & what's up!!

If you DON'T want to join... but you'd like to see my updates... I do believe you can still view them. I would suggest bookmarking or whatever for future reference. Fair warning... there will be times when I have lots of updates when I'm replying / tweeting to other Tweeters. I may put a link on my home page here. (If I remember. LOL)

Alright... I will be on a "polling" kick in the next few blogs... because I have a few in mind. Just another fair warning!! :o)

Oh... one more thing... off subject... there is a new Nicolas Cage movie coming out... (ON MY BIRTHDAY no less!) & it looks like another big hit... hubby won't be here & since he doesn't really like going to the theaters... I may have to get my mom to take me! It's called "KNOW1NG"... I've included a link so you can see the preview, if you haven't already.

That's it for this edition ride... Toodles & **HUGS**

EDIT: Here's how Twitter was born!!
