Notes from around the blogs

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a splash of humor.

If you haven't checked out my friend Diamond over at A Day in the Zone, go on over and say "Hi". With the coming holidays, she comes up with some tips on dieting and exercise.

Randy, of The Way I See it fame, has posted about his days as a backyard wrestler, complete with photos.

Jen, of Unglazed fame, has shown a side of herself we don't see often enough. Waxing poetic on her post titled Full Moon.

BusyBeeSuz and Happy Wife Happy Life have shared an idea about the environment, as they both linked to a video called The Story of Stuff. If you have about 20 minutes the video is eye opening and very much worth a look see. Suz also relates a humorous story about trying to access the site but putting in the wrong address.

If you've not been over to Jessica's Five Pines blog lately, she is attempting to put together a Christmas card exchange with all the blogging buddies. If you've never been there, check out her photography, family, birds, and dogs. If I hadn't met Jessica, Jen and Shellmo wouldn't be on my list of friends.

I also want to recognize the best comment on my blog this week. It was posted here by Jen in response to my Okay, so I'm mechanically challenged post of this past Sunday. Jen responded with "How many WIXY's does it take to change a light bulb?" The reason I choose this comment is it's totally unlike Jen. But I liked it.

Have a super weekend folks!

Your Mom taught you correctly, because you always SHARE. :) I love that. Love Jen's comment too.

Have a great day.
Take care,
Suz

As far as sharing is concerned, I like to share good things with others.

All my blogging friends post good material, and I want to make sure all that stop here know about my other friends.

Zig Ziglar has said "You can get what you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want." I always find when I do a post promoting other blogs, I get a higher number of hits.

It's a win-win situation for me. I love promoting other blogs and I enjoy the extra hits.

Thanks for promoting the card exchange.

I always enjoy it when you promote other blogs. It's fun to go visit new places and see what others are up to.

Hope you have a great weekend Cliff!

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...

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The...
