Hurry up and wait....

First an update on my father in law: He was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Being Saturday, there wasn't an abundance of help there and there were several discharges today. After Eddie had received his instructions, I was instructed to pull the car around.When I got to the hospital entrance, my cell phone rang. It was Mrs74 and she had told me that her dad wasn't feeling well and the hospital was going to delay his discharge until he felt better. He was discharged an hour later. But he is home now.

This coming Wednesday Mrs74 will be undergoing a knee replacement, tentatively planned as a partial, but the decision between a partial and a total will not be made until during surgery. I may be a bit busy to blog around the end of the week.

Thank you for your well wishes from yesterday's post. I enjoy blogging with all you folks because you all give me the comfort of knowing that all of you are the real deal and even though many miles separate most of us(except Brenda, she lives within 2 miles of me)we can all give each other a well needed pat on the back when necessary.

I'm glad to hear your father in law is home from the hospital.
I hope all goes well with Mrs. Wixy's surgery too.
When it rains, it pours, eh?
Hang in 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...

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...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
