And now another introduction...

As you can see, my list of friends have been growing quite rapidly in the past couple of months. I have gotten some very impressive followers of my blog.

As I have noted several times in the past month or so, I have some new friends that I consider it an honor that they decided to follow my almost daily musings, recovery bloggers and I'm going to introduce you to one I added to my list last week, Jenn.

Jenn is a recovering alcoholic who writes the blog J-Online. Jen also has been blogging about her recovery at a site called Second Road, where other bloggers have been doing the same. This is a very cool way to encourage others.

Jenn also blogs about everyday life as she travels the road to recovery as a single mother working as a professional. She lets us all look in on her world, and like the other recovery bloggers, shows us how to be grateful for the simple things in life.

So far Jenn has shared 2 parts of her story on Second Road. Part one was posted on January 29. Part two was last Thursday. Check out the story and also go to J-Online and say hi.

Definitely will. This blogland is a really nice way to all grow spiritually and offer support to each other.

I used to read more... and now I'm reading blogs instead. I think this is way nicer.

And hee-hee.. you know people that read instead of watching t.v. are less likely to get Alzheimer. (and interacting with this type of reading is even more good for the mind). A win-win all around.

Bloggers are special people.

enjoy your day cliff... hi to Kathy if she is reading this too. I love her blog. Very resourceful for others dealing with bi-polar in their lives. I had a brother-in-law who was bipolar and I did not know much about it at the time.

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...
