360 re-posting

I had posted about this on 360 a while ago & I thought it high time to post it again...

The link below is a link to help you to Select a Candidate... I give it 4 out of 5 stars, because I think it really can be improved upon.

Please do me a favor though... Please use this only as a guide! I say this because... there was one question I thought one candidate disagreed with me on a subject... but the way it was worded made it that way.

I'll just leave it at that & give you the link :)

Happy Windsday

Happy Windsday...

What a crazzzzy night last night. Shortly before midnight it was so calm & warm out that I began to think we wouldn't get the high winds they foretasted...

But then about midnight the wind really picked up...

Since Coleman didn't pee the last time out... I thought I better get him out then... because if the next front ended up having thunder in it... I just knew I'd have to clean up a piddle. I looked at the radar & saw we were in a break in between the rain...

So, I got him out & while standing there it dawned on me that it definitely is Windsday!! (Do you all remember Winnie the Pooh & the Blustery Day?)

Oh, but the craziness didn't end there! A couple hours later just as I was about to take my Ambien CR (yeah, I know, it was really late)... A cat  started to growl...

I opened the front door & nope... not there... though I could hear it better... so, I thought, maybe it's stuck under the bushes.

If it hadn't been so late I would have let the screen door slam or yelled to scare it away... but since it was, I grabbed my coat & put on my outdoor slippers & walked around to the front of the house with my flashlight.

By this time I could hear it wasn't just 1 cat, but TWO!! I thought... OH NO... I sure hope they're not "going at it".

Soon as I round the corner to the pine bushes under our living room window, I could tell that's where they were. One grey short haired cat (I've seen around all the time. I think it's one of the neighbor's across the street) & one white (maybe with a little tan) long haired cat... never seen before.

I shined my flashlight down under the bush & sure enough... two cats growling at each other! It looked as if they were each waiting for the other to flinch... so they could pounce! And I mean in a fighting type of a pounce! As if they were protecting their territory... even though neither of them belonged there! LOL

The grey cat took off & a white long haired cat looked like a deer caught in the headlights... but when it realized I was standing there, it ran off too.

I knew if I hadn't chased them off that they'd wake up hubby (if hadn't already) & he'd be hollering for me to do something.

So, it was an interesting night to say the least!

Boogity Boogity Boogity - Let's Go Racing

For me football season is over... (except for the Super Bowl)... On Saturday, the Steelers lost their Wild Card game. Tonight, the Buckeyes lost the BCS Championship game. So now I turn my focus toward the countdown of the Daytona 500 & the start of the NASCAR season!!

Winter has taken a hiatus here in Ohio. It was up to 63 today & tomorrow looks to be the same... (It's SO warm in the house that I have a small box fan running.)

HOWEVER, the forecast shows a cold front will blow in, with some major gusts (40 to 60mph). Late tomorrow we should be back into the 30's!!

Back into a writer's block as far as the book goes. But, I'll get there.
So, if I've not been writing my book or blogging... what have I been doing?

Well, when I haven't been sleeping, I've been playing "Pop It" on Pogo.com. It's a fun game... but the draw back is since I am just playing on the web it decides to shut down after several games. Oh & also after every game there is an "intermission" in which they have an advertisement that plays. I do have to say I don't mind the breaks... plus I know that's how they're making their money so they can offer us the games for free!

On the farm front, my mom not only is hobbling along with a broken foot... now she's battling pneumonia. She was in the hospital over night & was pumped full of antibiotics & given breathing treatments once every 4 hours, then sent home this evening.

When my sister called I thought I was coming down with the same kind of cold my hubby has been fighting with the last week & 1/2... but I think I've won my battle with sleeping so much this past week & today.

Anyway, I feel bad I didn't go stay the night with Mike. (It sounds like he had a good time with my sister, though.)

Actually I think it will work out, because tomorrow I am going to pick him up to get his shot (of Risperdal). So, I'll be able to help out that way.

With that said, I guess I best get to bed.

Friday 5 - Time Travel

I'm going to give Friday 5 a try this week! I like the subject & questions.

Time Travel . . . judging by the number of television series, movies, books created on the subject, each providing it's own twist on the subject, it is a fascination that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life through the ages.

This week's Friday Five questions pose various scenarios within the theme of "Time Travel" . . . elaborate or not as much as you like.

1. You can go back and change an event in history . . . What would the historical event be, what would you change and what outcome would your actions have? This is tough... My friend Grandma Rosy took the one answer I would even think of... change 9-11-01 events.

My hubby said he'd go back to when Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

I am not sure I'd want to do that... So, I am at a loss for this one. If I think of anything, I'll post it in a comment below.

2. You can go back in time, but you can't change anything . . . where would you go? This one is a bit easier... I'd like to be at Princess Di & Prince Charles wedding... just seeing the glamour & tradition of it all would just something else! :) No, I wouldn't want to change this, because I think Diana needed to marry Charles so that her life would change & she would be able to do the good that she did.

3. You can visit the future, but you can't change anything . . . where would you go? I would like to see how my son, Mike, turns out... regular readers of my blog will understand why.

4. Who is the one famous person you would go back in time to visit? Since I already used Princess Di, I think I'll say something different here... I would like to visit Michael Landon on the set of Little House on the Prairie. Not sure why... I just had always admired Michael Landon (& NO this is not why I named my son Michael.)

5. You can be any person, past or present, famous or not . . . who is it and why? Oprah... when she is giving away her favorite things. Just to see the reaction on the audience members when they realize they were all getting one of them high tech refrigerators!

If you would like to participate in the Friday 5:

Copy the questions and post your answers to your blog,

Leave a comment on the page at The Friday Five @ Multiply to let others know your post is up so they can visit your blog...

Fun, easy, and no time limit.

A Thought

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Other

Hmmm... I'm sitting here watching THE WEATHER CHANNEL showing the results of the "New Year" snow storm...

I wonder, why is it that no one has thought of a way to take the snow from the sidewalks, streets, and / or yards & transport it to the drought stricken areas??

I mean, there are transport semi's for everything else... why not snow? Yeah, sure it may melt before it reaches the south (or ???) but it's still water!

And it can easily be put into the lakes that so desperately need it!

Just a thought! :)

Happenings

I know, I know... it's been a little while since I've really sat & gave you all an update... I've also realized I have not blogged about my Christmas parties... & something else, I can't seem to remember.

Well, I hate to say this but that's all going to have to wait at least a little while longer... at least for the evening... I was all psyched about blogging some updates today... but hubby came home from work... FOUR hours early... SICK AS A DOG!! (Where'd that saying come from?) And I am just plum worn out!

He sent me to Wal-Mart to get him some meds... & since I was there, I decided to use the gift cards I received. I ended up in the Christmas isle where all was 75% off! I bought 2 new stockings for about $1.50 each... elegant... black with sequins! And a few other decorations & wrapping paper & 1 very cute singing dancing thing. I'll try to take a video of it tomorrow & post it... 'tis cute! I'd do it now, but it's noisy & hubby is finally asleep!! (I hope he stays a sleep... he needs it!!)

Anyway, I think I was area for about 45 minutes... there ended up being about 4 isles of Christmas stuff. I kept going back & forth trying to decide what I'd get & what I wouldn't. I had 4 boxes of new lights for outside, but I ended up giving them to the cashier deciding I didn't want them. (Thinking I had over spent... but in actuality I could have gotten them.)

By the time I got home it was over 2 hours later... I thought hubby would be sound a sleep since he didn't call to see what was taking me so long. LOL... I was wrong! He was watching some stuff about Pink Floyd.

Ok, now that I am on a roll, I guess I might as well give you a couple updates.

The doctor's office called New Year's Eve & left a message saying the Thyroid uptake & scan I took after Thanksgiving came back normal. He wants me to come back in for a follow up... because I am still having trouble with feeling / being tired all the time.

As for the headaches, the neurologist may be right & might be related to the thyroid.... HOWEVER, I still think the ACM has something to do with it! He did say he'd like me to have a different type of MRI... one that monitors the flow of the fluid in the brain... only thing is we do not have the money to do this. I will talk with the family doc & see if there is something else to do.

Oh, I have started writing the book I have been talking about. Because of the recent problems with photo stealing & etc... I am going to wait to discuss it here on the web.

I will tell you this much, it's going to be a suspense Christian type novel. At least I think that's what it is. LOL...

Anyway, I have the prologue & 1st chapter complete... & working on the 2nd! I am writing it the old fashioned way... with pen & paper! (I also bought a new notebook today!) For some reason I tend to write better that way... though after a short time my wrist hurts. I ignore it & keep on writing.

So, if you don't hear much from me (in blogs)... just know I'm probably writing! :)



Oh my! No wonder it's cold here in the computer room (where the only heat is by a oil radiator heater) I just saw the temp outside... it's 10° F (Feels like -3° with the wind!) BRRRRR... But you know what... I LOVE IT!!! (& Yes we have SNOW, too... & it's soft glittery kind... so you know I'm loving it!!) It is definitely winter here!!! :)

Update about that photo stealer I mentioned earlier... It seems this lady has removed ALL the photos BEFORE Multiply could see it. (I knew I should have done a screen shot... NEXT TIME!!!) Anyway... HOORAY to all of you who posted a message and / or reported her! I think she got the idea! (By the way, Kanga wasn't the only one who had baby photos "stolen" & renamed.) Oh & this "lady" has as her welcome message (which is still there) "don't bring drama to my page because I don't have time for drama." Well, I say, then she shouldn't have started it!

I hope this 2nd day of 2008 was a GREAT day & I pray that your 3rd day in 2008 is even better!
