MAIL CALL!Supporting the Troops

What a GREAT response to  CarnivAOL  being hosted here today, Thank You SO much to all the people who sent in entries!!

I'm not clever enough to come up with a whole 'theme' to present the entries in 'Carnival' style to go along with the graphics, so here are this week's entries, in the order I received them.

From  Marti at Porch Stories  comes a very moving post, using both pictures and the words to a Bruce Springsteen song, about a post-Katrina trip to....Mississippi....one of the 'forgotten' places affected by the hurricane.

And from Paul of   Aurora Walking Vacation  (who is also the founder of  CarnivAOL )

comes a post about how easily fooled people are, along with a video illustration....and why scientists who don't remember that can be 'woo-woo's'.

Russ, at  Inner and Outer Demons had a Mother's Day post with some memories of his mother, who is passed away, that will make you smile.

Win at  The Woman in the Glass Box  sends a post with some deep and moving thoughts about love, sex, and the sadness hiding 'behind the smile.'

Well, that 'wraps up' the 39th Edition of  CarnivAOL ! Splendid posts, I think, sent in by some great AOL journalers here in "J-Land", as the Journals community is called.

 

It was a lot of fun to host this!:) 

 

My thanks to Paul, for the opportunity to  be a Guest Host  and, if you are interested in doing this yourself?

This is what Paul has to say:

 

If you are interested in hosting an edition of CarnivAOL send me an email to PLittle@aol.com and let me know when you are available to do so. For open dates, look at the CarnivAOL upcoming editions page. For a description of just what is involved in hosting an edition of CarnivAOL, read the hosting guidelines, and visit some of the past editions.

 

 

I hope you all enjoy reading the posts!! :)
