I like Amel because....

Bear with me as it's been 2 weeks since I've done one of these posts.

I got to know Amel through the Terre Haute gang. Amel, however, doesn't live within walking distance of Terre Haute. She lives in Finland and was the poster that made my blog intercontinental. She used to be the youngest one on my blogroll until a certain daughter of mine decided to blog away.

Amel came to Finland, which is where some of my ancestors came from, by way of Indonesia. She has been in the land of all too cold for a little over a year now. She first come my way, reading my Seek Him First blog and told me she likes to read the faith based blogs because she likes to learn from them. She is also one whom I forward my Turning Point devotionals to right after I receive them every day, and has returned very nice comments about how she needed that.

Amel is very devoted to her husband Arttu, as he is quite often a subject of her posts. She also loves the family she has married into and shows love and respect for her parents.

Amel has a way of making a trip to the market sound like the adventure of a lifetime, seasonimg it with her sense of humor and plenty of laughter(he he he he he).

If you haven't read Amel's Realm, I suggest you go on over and give it a read. She has a habit of making you feel like a long lost friend.

Amel is precious. I just love reading her blog as she, along with many others, has brought a smile to my face with her great and funny out look on life.

And, she is bringin' the Indo/Chinese and chili to the party!

Amel is awesome. She is a very good person who stands by her blogger friends.
I always worry when I can't blog or stop by other's blogs. Amel always tells me that she will be here waiting for me and I can take all the time I need. She reminds me of how wonderful all my blogger friends are.

I like Amel too! She is so sweet and very wise.
I am on my way to visit her, and looking forward to it.

I don't even remember if I found Amel or the other way around. All I know is there'd be a big empty spot in my internet life if she wasn't there.

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...

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil...
