I like Jen because....

"I like your poems
I really do
Sometimes I write poems
Just like you
:)"

Above is the first comments left on my Whattville is on the other Side of the Tracks blog by Jen. She discovered my blogs as a result of Jessica's good word about my blogging. Through Jen, I have discovered many good blogs and she has made friends with those on my list also.

Jen is originally a Buckeye, having lived in Zanesville before moving to Kentucky. She is one of the cabin dwelling bloggers among my friends. She loves nature, as evidenced by many of the photos on her blog, Unglazed. She also has a great, clean sense of humor. Jen participates in a weekly feature called Weird Object Friday and sometimes finds some of the most unusual items to present for this. She will also post devotions on occasion.

Jen is also very resourceful. She makes salvation bracelets that come with a card that explains the reason for all the colors of the stones in the bracelet. And with her resoursefulness, Jen is also very generous. I know this because she had a giveaway this past December of one of the bracelets. Although I was not the winner, she also sent one to my wife as a Christmas present. I also got a present of some bookmarks from Jen. I'm currently using the one with the "Father" tattoo in the book I'm currently reading, "Battlefield of the Mind," by Joyce Meyer.

Jen reads all three of my blogs and leaves comments often.

If you haven't gone to Unglazed, by all means go there. Look around and admire Jen's log home, her humor, and her great photography. Hang around, as she has had other giveaways. And please leave a comment, the funnier the better. Just make sure that she doesn't cut her own hair.

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...
