One Time Flash 55

Cliff Note:Suzanne would participate in a meme every Friday, called Flash 55. The participants were to come up with some story for their blogs containing 55 words-No more, no less. I thought it was fitting for me to do this one time only(I don't do regular memes). I am also doing this because G-Man commented on my last post. This will be in honor of Jeri Suzanne Horne, aka Liquid. And if you do want to get in on the fun report this to the boss G-Man.

She was a friend to us all
Her posts made us smile
We looked at her photos in awe
She commented a lot
Made her friends, our friends
And our friends, her’s
Made us all feel important
We felt her love
We all saw her beauty
We miss you sweet lady
Miss you very much

Cliff,
I couldn't have put it better myself. And in this way she'll continue to make her friends ours and vice versa. Because she touched every one of us, gave us a common thread.

I for one hope you'll be back for an encore 55 at some point -- even if it's not a regular thing. But whether it is or not, keep the memories alive and Liquid will never be far from us.

..... very nice .. very very nice.. Cliff.

I know you must still be in a 'state of shock'...... it is still so new... the days to come you'll feel the Loss even more.

But you TWO were blessed to have a special relationship... even if you never met in person.

I have an email pen pal from California for now just over 8 years... I never met her.. but we emailed so much.. thousands of pages..

In alanon we always hug each other.. so sending you more hugs.

You put it so beautifully....

Her loss is deeply regretted by all of us, specially the 55vers...

She was such a beautiful person, both inside out...

May God rest her soul in peace.

You are cliff... I noticed her vexation that day in response to your comment on her last post. She did not seem quite herself that day...

Liquid Illusion...
Illusive.
Evaporation.
Life.
Release.
Fluid.
Full spectrum.


...this is what I witness.

Cliff...Excellent tribute to our dear friend!! Please don't consider this a Meme. It's a little venture into creativity, and it's usually fun under different circumstances...
Thanks for playing this week....G

Your very beautiful tributes to Suzanne warm my heart and make me weep every time. There are times I feel very sad and lonely an beyond repair. Those are the times I log on. Truly. We are a life line, a line of life. This is the great gift of cyberspace. My we be ever present for each other always.

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 game was
