Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Listening to Coach on TV
Sunny Days
o bought a new web cam and set it up on my computer...during the day he likes for me to turn it on so he can see me while he is at work. It is so funny to do this. I enjoy it though since I don't have to type. I put my headphones on with the microphone on it and I just talk to him. Makes it a lot easier for me to chat with him when he has the time.
peaking of chatting...do a lot of you keep yourselves hidden? So you can't be seen on anyone's buddy lists? Just curious because there are a lot of you I would love to chat with but never see your name online. I admit that I have my buddy list on privacy also, but I have the majority of the people that I read their journals unblocked so that I can chat with you if you want to chat. So, if you want to chat and don't see me online drop me an email and I will add you and unblock you also. I am always online and if I am away from my computer I put up an away message as to what I am doing or where I am the majority of the time. So, if you ever want to chat let send me an IM.
ournal land friends. Speaking of you. I want to publicly announce that I miss Debbie (derasta) so much. Debbie and I have known each other for about 7 years now...online and off line. I consider Debbie to be my best friend in the whole wide world. She is such a sweet lady and her and I have so much in common. I even introduced her to her hubby, John, way back when! I really miss her updating her journal on a daily basis. Her and I do talk on instant messenger from time to time but not as much as we used to...but I still miss her fun updates.
t appears that there are quite a few that are having journal burn out like Debbie is. I miss a lot of my old favorites. I have found lots of new ones, don't get me wrong. But it still is sad when you feel you really know someone like we do through our journals and then they leave. It is like an empty spot when they vanish. I am sure there are others out there that feel the same way that I do when this happens.
ave I mentioned this before? (My memory is so bad!!) My in-laws are coming for a 8 day visit the first week of June. We are so excited. They are coming the end of May and staying in Seattle for a few days then renting a car and driving to Spokane to see us. They will be staying at the Red Lion Hotel where my daughter, Cassie works. We love them so much but just don't have the room for them to stay at our place.
iving you the information about drinking diet Pepsi and other diet caffeine pops on my last entry has turned out to be one of the best things I have wrote about in my journal it seems. For those of you that may have missed it my doctor told me that diet pop with caffeine is bad for you. It causes joint pain along with who knows what. And it is true. I have tried. I didn't drink any for about a week and then had a can and BOOM I hurt so bad the next day. So even though I miss diet Pepsi something terribly and I want some so bad....I won't be drinking any ever again. If I get so I just have to have something I will have a small drink of Sprite or of root beer. And that helps. But I will always miss diet Pepsi!
Fun sites I found for the week:
- Adopt a virtual pet at Bunny Hero Labs! They have many types to chose from. Dogs, cats, tigers, ducks, penguins and bunnies! You can name them any name you want and chose any color also! Here is mine. I chose a puppy!
- Do you like popping bubble wrap like I do? Then you have to go to the bubble wrap page! It is not quite as fun as the real thing but close enough! So have fun popping!!
- Since lots of us were broken hearted that Constantine was eliminated last night on American Idol you can download ALL of his performances since the beginning. Click on VIDEO on the right bar to see him performing or AUDIO to just get the MP3's. Then put your mouse over the songs and right click SAVE AS. Then you can have them all. I got them all last night after the show was over.
- A Hot Wheel car selling on e-bay (Its unbelievable how much its going for!)
- Would you like to see what you might look like in 40 years? Then you have to check this site out!

For those of you who don't know about this journal I have to tell you about it. It is Cheryl's journal and is called "Welcome to My World". They raise Yorkie dogs. About 3 weeks ago their female, Lucy, gave birth to 4 puppies. All female. They are the cutest puppies in the world! So, I thought I would show you some pictures of the puppies. Cheryl is always posting new pictures of the pups so please go and take a look at her journal!
When they were first born!
And now, 3 weeks later! I want one so bad! They are so adorable!!!
n update on my mom. She went to her doctor the other day and he did an x-ray of her lung that they removed the cancer from. It seems that she has fluid building up around her lung and that is why she is still in so much pain. The doctor is hoping that her body will take care of it and absorb it. If it doesn't they will have to put a tube in and drain it for her. I talk to her every day and she says that she isn't hurting as bad so she is hoping that the fluid is draining off on its own. They have decided they won't do the next surgery until she is 90% healed from the first one. I will keep you posted as I learn more.
or anyone that is interested I did an update to my Big Brother journal. It is getting to be that time of year again for BB to begin. This year it begins in June rather than July. So, take a look and make sure and add it to your alerts if you are a BB fanatic like I am! Unedited BB...Behind the Scenes.
Dumb Laws of the Week:
Arkansas, Little Rock: No one may “suddenly start or stop” their car at a McDonald’s.
California, Fresno: Elementary schools may not host poker tournaments.
Virginia, Richmond: It is illegal to flip a coin in a restaurant to see who pays for a coffee.
had planned on updating sooner than I did but the past few days I have really feltcrummy. The other day I lay down to take a nap and awoke to severe cramps in my abdomen. I never get cramps. I made it through the day and the next morning woke up and the pain had moved up into my stomach area. I was actually really worried that possibly my hernia had burst, AGAIN, and I would have to go to the ER and be admitted for emergency surgery. This has happened to me twice now and believe me it hurts like heck! But, thank GOD, I woke this morning and the pain has subsided. So hopefully it has passed. I have no idea what caused the pain either. Oh well, I am just happy its over.
esterday I had a doctor appt. with my arthritis doctor. And then next Wednesday and Thursday I have 2 different doctor appointments. One with the kidney doctor since they are worried something may be wrong with my kidneys and also with the new counselor. Anyway yesterday after my appointment was over with my arthritis doctor I dropped the paper work off at the medical store so they can contact my insurance company about getting me my scooter. I got the paper work last week in the mail from my doctor but since the medical supply store I went to to order it was clear downtown I decided to wait and drop it off after my doctor appt. yesterday since his office is downtown also. Saved some gas in other words!
peaking of gas. I decided that might be a good topic for the readers poll this week. I am paying $2.79 a gallon. We have to put premium into our cars so its 20 cents more a gallon that regular unleaded. It just kills me to pay that but if I put the regular gas in my car drives terrible and pings really loud. Because of the higher prices I have cut down on going so many places. I try to put all my errands into one trip so it isn't so expensive.
"THE READERS POLL"
The last question I asked you was:
Do you buy or rent your home?
Own/Buying - 16
Renting - 7
My next Question is:
Have you cut down on your driving
since gas prices have sky rocketed?Yes
No
ere any of you fans of the TV show, "Full House"? I found a picture of the oldest girl, (DJ on the show and her real name is Candace Cameron). She is married to hockey player Valeri Bure and has 3 cute kids. Her hubby is very handsome and she has grown to be a beautiful woman. Here is their home page.
o you like my theme ofsunflowers this week? I thought they were really pretty.
guess I have bored you enough for another week. I hope you all have a great day!

Linny, You have quite a way with words and i love your journal. Thank you for commenting more than once in my journal..it means so much to me. You are now a part of my journals also. I love sunflowers. I hope that you are feeling better....that your abdomen isnt hurting you. I read AOL journals for about a year and not once did i comment. I was so scared that others would find me stupid or boring. I have went thru some issues and then decided i needed an outlet and started my journal up. The caring and kinship i have found here has amazed me. I am also saddened that the ones i read over a year ago mostly have went away. I understand burnout. But i feel those who IM and email with me and comment in my journal are my FRIENDS. Gas here in Ohio is $1.99 a gallon and yes, i have stopped driving as much as before. Have a happy Weds! Hugs to you,http://journals.aol.com/queen

Hello Linny,
Oh, it has been awhile since my last visit. I do have you on my buddy list...now. Thought I added you before, apparently I did not.
While I've only been in J-Land for six short months, lately I do feel like I'm burning out. Maybe there is just too much going on in our lives, leaving little time for writing. Journals do take time.
Thank you for updating us on your Mom. Please continue to do so. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.
Answer to question: Yes, a bit. But living in a small town doesn't require a lot of driving to begin with, so it's all relative.
And yes, I love the sunflowers. But then, I have always loved sunflowers. :)
BTW, I almost forgot about your entry regarding the Steamboat 'Queen of the West.' You mentioned your in-laws are visiting soon. So, here is the website: http://www.americanweststeamboat.com/
Have fun!

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the bubble-wrap, LOL. I'm hooked.
Jimmy
PS. The question: I have not cut back on my driving. Something always seems to require my presence behind the wheel.
