Some Hellos and Some Updates

I got some new visitor comments lately, so I want to give some shout outs.

First is Melanie. We've crossed paths on Frasypoo's and Pat Jenkins' blogs. She come over to pay me a visit last week here. She's had a rough past week and a half, so I delayed going to visit her blog, Monday Through Sunday, until today. Her blog is faith based and written in devotional form. It's a good read for those who want to meditate on things of the Lord. Melanie lives in Denver. Melanie, if you see Mark Sanborn, say hi for me.

Next I want to welcome Michelle from Scotland. She comes here from Amel's Realm. We had a discussion in the comment section today. I told her the story of why I identify myself as 74WIXYgrad. Her blog is titled Crow's Feet.

An email today came from a fellow poster on the Cleveland.com Listening Party board(no link because I won't link trash). He posts as weezel and the two of us, along with another poster named Lynnpuskas, had several of our posts deleted from that board. Anyone can ask for anything deleted and it goes to a non human entity which does the deleting.

Weezel got in touch with me via email and told me that he was done with the board but was thinking of starting his own blog. He also told me that he liked mine. All I say to this is "Go for it!" We can always use another good Northeast Ohio based blog. And don't be a stranger here either. And Lynn, anytime you(and weezel) want to leave a message here, please do so. I have several good folks who stop by and add their 2 cents. I can always welcome a couple more here.

What a drag it is getting old:I got my new glasses today. I have to get used to trifocals, but hopefully my eyes will stop hurting when I spend most of my work time on my computer.

Yea, I wear "progressive" bi-focal, and when I work on the computer I have to have a pair of single-vision. Yes, getting old is a drag, and I don't like th alternative!

Glad to see the new folks, will drop by their blogs. I intend to take a minute and go through your blog roll.

Michelle, you are very welcome. And I thank you for your addition of my blog to your links.

One correction though. My name is Cliff and not Chris. No biggie, but everybody knows my name, sorta like Cheers, and I don't want any confusion to arise from it.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
