My new mouse... 10-7-07...

A review for the ProBlogger giveaway.



My hubby found a GREAT deal at our local Best Buy the other day... a mouse for SenCi! (in case you missed it, that's the nick name for my laptop!)

It's a Targus Notebook Wireless Rechargeable Mouse.

Hubby set it up for me last night. I am SO THRILLED it works with SenCi & Win98!

I like it so much, I'll give you my rating now!



It's comfortable & surprisingly QUIET!!

It's like Targus was thinking of
someone like me when they created it. (Someone who is easily irritated with clicks AND tired of having to clean off the track ball.)

Ergonomic is also a key when building new mice & Targus hit it on the nose with this one!

This from Targus' website... Click the link above for more info.

Product Details:
The Targus Notebook Wireless Rechargeable Optical Mouse offers RF technology coupled with 800-dpi resolution allowing for accuracy and precision in mouse movements and an uncluttered desktop. Maintain continuous operation and never worry about losing power again with rechargeable batteries and a USB charge cable that charges even during use. A dual-purpose ergonomic design is small enough for travel yet big enough for comfortable desktop operation.

So, if you're in need of a mouse for your notebook, I strongly recommend this one!!!

NFL Breast Cancer Awareness Weekend (10-7-07)

Cool Links... (10-5-07)

Click on the picture ^ to be able to see what I circled!
(Or this -> link... it's a PDF file!!)


Now that you've seen that...

Drum Roll, please....



I KNOW THAT GUY!!!

Well, sort of... I befriended him on MyCCM after I listened to one of his songs.

Curt Collins' music is a lot like that of Wayne Watson! (If you've paid attention to any of my other posts, or my favorites lists, you'd know WAYNE WATSON is my FAVORITE Christian singer!!) So, I really enjoy Curt's music, too!

We've chatted via Yahoo Messenger & he's a really nice guy! So, I wanted to give him his "just due" & promote him a little... I mean, this guy could go #1 & I can honestly say I KNOW HIM!!!

Anyway, please click on the links to learn more about him.



As you may know I am trying to find a way to get paid to blog. (Not personal blogging, like this... & I have yet to be "noticed"!!)

One of the sites I peruse for possibilities is Pro Blogger...

I feel it's worth a shot to look at! Even if you're employed in another job. Maybe you can make some Christmas money! (1 favor... if you find a position you think I'd really be qualified for, please email me right away. I may have missed it!)



On a totally different subject...

Have you thought about the 2008 election yet?

Having trouble trying to figure out who you will vote for President?

One of my aunt's sent my mom a link to this questionnaire to help you decide.

It ask your opinion of several different current events & then ranks which candidate best suits your opinion. (BEFORE you click on that link, please see the poll at the end of this blog.)

You maybe amazed at who makes it to the top... It may not even be a "front runner". If enough people start inquiring about one of those candidates... Maybe, just maybe, this will help make that person become "known" to truly make it a great "race"!!

It's up to you if you want to post a comment of who ranked at the top for you!

I'll have to do mine again & post a separate comment, because I forget who it was... It was not someone I recognized. Though I will NOT tell you why he was at the top... I don't want to influence your opinion... Since you don't have to share with anyone... answer them HONESTLY, so that it will give you the candidate who would best match your answers!!!



One more thing... if you have visited my site about Princess Diana... Please keep an eye out, because I am going to try to start blogging everyday again... or close to it!

I have a lot I'd like to share about Princess Diana & her sons!



This poll below, is not necessarily who you would vote for next November... just to see who you LIKE to see as our Commander in Chief!!

I even have an option if you don't care, or don't plan on voting... If you choose that... will you please tell us why not??

I feel it's one of our FREEDOMS that EVERYONE who is eligible SHOULD take advantage of!!!

If you don't & someone you do NOT like is elected... then please don't come crying to me!!!

The low down... 10-3-07...

As regular readers know, I was diagnosed with ACM (Arnold Chiari (kee-AR-ee) Malformation) a while ago...

I believe this is a big contributor to why I have a 10 year memory block... Especially after I saw this comparison photo. I do have to say, it all makes sense! I mean... look at it closely (click on it to see a larger version).

See how much farther down the cerebellum is? Furthermore... look at the little arrows & how the "fluid flow" is supposed to go! Now, you can see why I have headaches & pain all the time!

According to the research I have done... there are some ways to relieve the symptoms naturally. Such as wearing proper arch supporting shoes.

Though I could have the decompression surgery. But it's BRAIN SURGERY! So risky!!

The more & more I keep getting these headaches, the more I am leaning toward surgery!

FIRST, I have to find a specialist! Which may require me to do some traveling to New York! HOPEFULLY... I can do a lot of the communication via the phone & emails.

Anyway, I am posting this is because I just wanted to "rant" a little bit... & to request your prayers, please.

My rant is basically some questions to you... after seeing this picture... Don't you think I should have been approved for LTD? (Long Term Disability). I know if I would have been the one looking at this, I would say: "HEY! If this isn't "disabled" then I don't know what is?!" (Am I over thinking this because it is me? or ???)

Do you understand now why I am complaining all the time about headaches?
What would you do in this situation?

Mainly I am...



Well, I guess that's it for this post! Please feel free to comment now. I'd like to know your opinion of this! And Do you or anyone else you know have ACM... What did you or they do?



FYI - I am starting to use SenCi (pronounced: Sen See) (That's the "short" name for my very old "SENior CItizen" laptop!) A lot more than I had thought. I really like that I can sit on the couch, instead of the hard computer chair! More comfortable & easier on my neck.

Thank you to MAMA DI for coming up with the name! I just love it!!!
