Feeling Mischievous

ShipsLog May 17, 2008
Belmont High School Ball game last night, Grandson Matt got two hits & one run. That is not bad for a game they won 3 to 2. Matt is a very good unassuming ball player, very easy going. It was pretty relaxing but Matt’s Grandmother tends to get excited and embarrasses the rest of the family. No one will sit with her. LOL!
One of the comments shows Mort has done some piping. Yeah, the game at the end is the best, looking for the leaks
And if there is one it is usually in the worst place.
But thank goodness that was not the case this time. My leak was small and right handy. So all the rough plumbing from city sewer to the roof vent is done. Also the rough electrical is completed now, including the heating system, and I am starting the insulation. That is a hot job because you have to cover up to keep the fiberglass from getting all over you.Several accidents have marred an otherwise easy job. A couple blood blisters because the nails aren’t where they are supposed to be. Couple skinned knuckles and tears (Old paper thin skin (Me ‘n Joe)). The worst was the fall. I fell off the ladder. I think it was 30 feet high………………. Well it seemed that the 30 inches was 30 feet. I now have a stove up hip and shoulder. Hip is getting better shoulder is going to be slow.
I have to make a confession. I usually spend a good bit of time reading and making comments on several journals. When I started this journal it was for my own outlet, if it was read that was great, if a comment was left that was wonderful. I have left comments on hundreds of journals if I liked or disliked them enough to take the time to comment. I have learned a good bit about peoplewhile doing this LOG. As a reader and commenter I do not want anyone to feel obligated to comment on the LOG, just because I have left a comment. Really I am not fishing for a comment when I leave one. I have found lately I am feeling obligated to respond when someone commented and I do not know why.
What I am saying is if I leave a comment anywhere on the net, I appreciate any comment but I don’t want the author of the journal to feel an obligation to respond. I think it hit me when SugarB started her journal and was saying she would respond to the comments as soon as she could. She has left some insightful comments on the ShipsLog & I appreciate them. At the time she did not have a journal, I have e-mailed her on occasion to thank her, I wish her the best of luck.
When you make an entry on a journal and it is public, you never know who will read it. Most folk that read it will not make a comment. This LOG has been read some 20,000+ times with less than 500 comments. More folks would make comments if they could do it anonymously. Lately I have been reading journals but just not up to comments on them. I guess I am just getting old (er). LOL.
To anyone who reads this junk, thanks, if you want to comment, thanks. I just want you to know I appreciate you being here.

ouch with your fall, Jack; take care of yourself; sounds like you did a "number" on yourself
that is a big project you have taken on; I bet it will look nice once you get it all done
WTG on your grandson's team's win and his achievements in the game!!!
never worry about leaving comments in my journal; I know we all have lurkers out there who read and don't comment; that's why knowing that, I'm keeping myself real vague this time around on how many personal things I share, never worry about even feeling obligated to read my journal; I just enjoy reading journals, so many fascinating stories out there and I can relate to yours because my FIL is retired Navy
just take care of yourself especially on ladders

Hey Jack , so glad you survived the fall off ladder with nothing major being injured. You been overworking you gaurdian angel there buddy!
As for comments i am not going to pretend that i would not care if you comment or not on mine! Dont you dare stop leaving your words of wisdom and wisecracks behind when you visit my journal!!! It is your fault that I have come to enjoy and rely on them to keep my spirits up. you are not just a comment to me , you are a friend. besides i would worry if i did not hear from you. june -
My daughter has tried to talk me into starting a journal for 2 years. Actually I don't know why I let her convince me this time, lol. My intentions were to keep it a secret for awhile, then Shirl bless her heart, found me and left the first comment. My daughter then asked me if it would be ok for her to write and entry in her journal to introduce me to her friends so I let her. That is the only reason I had so many comments on that entry. I did feel obligated to try to thank everyone personally but it became so overwhelming. I'm a newbie at this journal thing and I didn't know what others did when they received comments. Everyone told me that the only time they respond to comments is when someone ask them a question or had written something they wanted to respond to, believe me I let out one big sigh of relief when they told me that. On the entry I wrote in honor of our Anniversary the only reason I received so many comments was because Betty had made an entry in the Call for Support journal. I was wondering where all these people where coming from and how they found my journal because Terri told me she didn't recognize many of the screen names. I just happened to click on Call for Support and found the entry that night.
I'm not good at this journaling thing please don't feel obligated to read mine just because I like reading yours. I do appreciate anyone that stops by and leaves a comment but they don't have to. I still wish Shirl would start a journal she would have to be more interesting than I am. C'mon Shirl what do ya say?
