Holly: Jan. 12, 2010, 3:54pm: Thanks, Lynne, I'm glad you enjoyed them. It's such a blessing for us to be able to experience nature this way, and I for one think such blessings ought to be shared.
Lynne: Wow Holly both sets of pictures are beautiful, particularly the mountains, I love the mountains, never seen them in person I sure hope to some day.

Holly: Lynne, the difference is that you plant the seeds (seeds), and then, with lots of work, the plant is born. (plants) I'll probably change it out at some point, though. I guess it *is* kinda weird.
Lynne: What is the difference between berry seeds and berry plants???
Lynne: MERRY CHRISTMAS HOLLY & ROGER

Blake: Its sad to hear that Anthony passed away just a few days a go.... Look back to the memories, Anthony finished his task, it was his time, home was calling him, just as angels, God places them to do a task and when they complete it, God calls them home... I just stopped by to crongrats on WININNG journal of the week!!!
Lynne: I don't think that this one was your fault, it came from the Rockies...

Lynne: Look at that, you look just like us.
Holly: Dec 9/09, 6:35pm: Yeah, you're probably right, Lynne. Oh, well. **shrug**.... 14 inches of snow? Holy crap! Well, stay safe and try to stay warm too, okay? And remember: even if all you can watch is videos, it's better than nothing at all.
Lynne: Will power or the lack there of is the general cause of not keeping up on the diets, buy a used tread mill and start off slow, it helps I have one...if only I could use it, my front bedroom is full of extra furniture....We got 14 inches of snow, the whole state in under a snow emergency, wonderful, my HD Receivers aren't working and the standard receivers only get the local channels looks like it videos for me today...
Holly: Dec. 8/09: Awww Lynne, you're just too sweet...
Lynne: 5 years ago I was 5 years younger, I never found you to be any of those things Holly.
Holly: Dec 6/09: LYNNE, I want to see videos of Cooper in the snow. And you... I want you to be safe. You hear me? DAR: Yeah, I think it is. But, considering how long it took to get here, I suppose I can't really complain too much. I'll definitely be digging out the ol' snowshoes, though! Glad you liked the lights - more of those pics will be coming, once we're dug out and I can get around the city again.
Dar: Looks like your snow is here to stay too. Enjoy your winter. Strap on the snowshoes and take a brisk walk...enjoyed your Christmas lights tour...Blessings Be Yours
Lynne: Ha, lucky you all that snow...we're getting 1-3 inches tomorrow night into Monday then the 6-9 wed into Thurs. Poor Cooper he's gonna drown in all that snow coming
Holly: Yeah, well just wait until you see what I put up today (Saturday, Dec.5), Lynne... I'm used to it, but even *I* am kinda shocked...
Lynne: Yup 6-9 inches of snow Wed into Thurs. OMG, have I mentioned how much I HATE winter?
Holly: Lynne! Yeah, that's true, but it ain't my fault that we like to share. Just be prepared - things are about to come your way from what I understand...

Attempting Connection

So much to do today to get ready for tomorrow night's investigation in my house, and not a whole lot of energy with which to get it all done. But that's okay; it might take all day and part of tomorrow, but everything WILL get done. I'm in the right state of mind for kicking some ghost ass, and there's going to be several people here to help me do it... The results should be interesting, to say the least. If I don't put them up at the WPI blog, I'll definitely be sharing them at the WPI YouTube channel...

I called Shawn, yesterday, after reading his blog. Hugo A-Go-Go, his sweetie, spent most of the day in the hospital, yesterday, having a liver biopsy done. Hugo is such a sweet guy; he's so outgoing and friendly, and he adores Shawn so much... Hugo, darling, I'm sending you tons of healing energies... 

I also stopped by to visit Dee, and I have to say, I love the anecdotes she shares about her life.  She's also done a few book reviews, and I for one hope she decides to look into making money doing that. She's really good!    But then, Dee has always been one of my favorite bloggers, so it's not really all that surprising to me that she'd be an excellent book reviewer, too. 

I don't know what's going on with everyone else, though. It seems like people just aren't interested in sharing, anymore, and that makes me sad. It's also very discouraging, because isn't the whole point of having an online blog to make yourself visible to others and to share your life with people? If no one seems to be interested in you, what's the point of trying to reach out?  Personally, I think that one of the reasons people end up going into isolation is because they feel like no one is interested in their thoughts, feelings, or opinions. Some people can handle that, but what about the people who struggle with depression? What happens to them when they feel that way?

I blog because it's a way to connect with the outside world, it's a way for me to release stress, it's a way to engage people in conversation, and because when people come by and comment, I feel like I'm visible. Most of the time, I feel like I don't matter, and when people respond to what I write, that helps me push that feeling back.

Annnnnnnnyway.....

I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday to find out for sure if I've entered menopause.  From the research I've done, I'm pretty sure I have, which means I'll probably be blogging more often. For now, I'm going to end this post, as the hot flash I'm having right now is making me insane.

Have a great day and a great weekend, and thanks to everyone who's been coming by to visit.

Can't wait to see the investigation. I have to admit I get excited when you are doing one. Your place is chalk full of ghosties. Should be a hoot. and darlin' don't let peoples insensativity get you down. Some people just don't comment anymore but I know they come and read you./ You have one of the most popular blogs on Bravenet. It's frustrating, but your hardcore fans will always be here for you. As long as I have at least ONE digit left I will comment. Anyway good luck at the doctors, and I hope everythong goes smoothly. Loved talking to you yesterday. Nice to hear you voice. Love ya Your bro

I hope your investigation goes well and you get some answers. I look forward to hearing how it goes. Be careful, my friend. My positive thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks so much. I'm so glad that you enjoy my blog. It's friends like you who inspire me to continue to post my sense and nonsense. You make me so happy!

I enjoy visiting your blog. You have such interesting and fun postings. Just keep doing what you're doing. You're reaching out and touching people's lives and I believe that's the best part of what matters most.

Wishing you a fabulously successful weekend!
