Honesty is the best policy


Michelle, of Crow's Feet fame, has bestowed upon me this really neat award. She awarded this to me for my honesty and sincerity.

Now I'm to pass this on to a number of blogs considered "brilliant in content or design." So now I will pass this on to the following bloggers:

Busy Bee Suz: Her blog gives us a view of her life and her family. Also she has a supporting presence on many blogs.

Jeremy: A frequent visitor to many of these blogs. One who provides a service of reporting media news to those in the Greater Cincinnati area. One also devoted to his faith. Cliff Note: Go over and give Jeremy some encouragement as he's going through a very tough time.

Awake in Rochester: Gives us a candid view from her part of the world. She also shares with us any joke she thinks might make us laugh.

Randy, of The Way I See It fame: Sometimes he can be crude, but he's always honest. I mean this in only a good way.

MsHen: She lifts up all her friends through her writing. She is always quick to show her gratitude on even the smallest things.

Clean and Crazy: CNC is a supporter of many bloggers and helps others in her involvement in Narcotics Anonymous. And I love her web address: surrendertowin.blogspot.com.

Jenn, of J-Online fame: A very candid blog about her journey as a recovering alcoholic.

Syd: Not a member of the bunch...Yet, but I'm very impressed by his going to many of the recovery blogs, giving his support. He also blogs about his recovery as a member of Al-Anon.

Go on over and visit all these fine people.

Now I have to list 10 honest things about myself.
1) I'm one who can't stand intentionally offending my friends.
2)I have strong family values.
3)I enjoy the ways in which I can communicate.
4)A year ago I never dreamed I would be writing a poetry blog.
5)I've never been farther west than Terre Haute, Indiana.
6)I've never been farther west than Detroit, Michigan.
7)I have a bad habit of procrastination.
8)I don't like very spicy food.
9)I check my sitemeter on this blog several times a day.
10)I have never rode on a motorcycle.

Thankyou! for this award Cliff. I try not to be crude but sometimes when I feel strongly about whatever subject matter I am posting It just comes out . I usually say the first things that come to my head. And sometimes they are offensive , But what anyone in the blogosphere will always get from me is the truth , They way my eyes see it. Have a good work week . I am off Monday due to the slowdown.

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...
