Post one thousand

It was almost three years ago
When I started on this blog
Sometimes I write when things are clear
Other times in a fog

I told my friends all about
The things that I would write
Not knowing how they would react
When my words were in their sight

I'd post on things I would know
And just myself I'd be
I know about no one else
But the person that you see

I'd write about my favorite food
And students in the band
And sometimes when I feel real low
You'd come and give a hand

You come from all around the world
Big cities and small towns
Your comments serve to lift me up
Prevent so many frowns

I do so love to promote your work
Your posting is so grand
I couldn't have much better friends
You're best in all the land

My thousandth post is almost done
This poem's almost through
And if you wonder who this is for
You're reading this, it's you!

Cliff Note: Thank you for all you have done to help me get to 1000 posts. I hope to have all the friends I have, and some more, in the next three or so years as I work towards 2000.

When I began to read your blog,
I joined in kind of late.
If I was forced to guess just when,
I'd say around #928.

You have a gift of caring words
Sometimes you post for fun.
I'm sure we'll all be back to read The post numbered 1001!

Congratulation dear Cliff on this 1000 Post..
Please allow me to make this toast:

"Cliff you are a blogger so divine..
Glad you are a friend of all and mine.

You are there to celebrate our each and every good event..
And there to comfort us when we just need to vent.

Your faith in God is a beautiful thing you share..
And you are there to show all that you really do care..

We all feel the same way about you too.
And God says to love all and it is so very easy for us all to love you."

Congrats Cliff,
I'm glad I bumped into you early
on in my blog career,
other wise I don't know that I would have stuck around. You
showed me how to put it out there
and that there really are genuine
nice people out in blogville.

I try my hardest to be a friend through my blogging. My number one bit of advice to other bloggers is to be themselves and most of my adult life I've always been the nicest guy around. And having virtual friends like I have here is one of the best benefits of blogging.

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...
