Tooting my own horn

As most may or may not know, Kathy and I have been going through some very rough times for over the past year and a half. It has taken it's toll on Kathy to the point where our doctor is afraid that if the tension doesn't ease up, she will either have a nervous breakdown or a heart attack. I have been trying to take care of her in whatever way I can.

Yesterday afternoon, Kathy was entering some Coke points for me. After she was done she handed the laptop back to me and I was looking at some of the things I could redeem the points for. I had seen that I could get her a twelve month membership to Club Pogo, which is something she asked for for her birthday. She loves the gaming sites. Long story short, Kathy got one of her birthday presents two months early. I'm hoping this can also be therapeutic for her.

Good for Kathy.
I have so much respect for a man who takes care of his wife --- as well as wives taking care of their husband.

I hope she gets better. Life seem to get a little harder for us all -- and I am glad I still have hope, because without it I am lost.

God bless you both!

Good therapy for Kathy. I hope she can relax a bit and enjoy life more. A nice back massage from her awesome husband would be nice too. ;)

Ditto on the back massage,

And you are a good man..

And make time for you too so you don't get burned out.

You have to take care of yourself so you'll be around to be a good hubby for her for a loooooong time.

I'm so sorry to hear Kathy's having such a hard time. I went and left a message on her blog last week. Hope she saw it. My love and best wishes/prayers for you both.

and bravo on all the TLC. You are an awesome husband, Cliff. :-)

My hubby's been doing the same for me this august. It's been a rough year for us too and health wise for me... kind of tough as well. All I want to do is sleep lately. I'm napping every afternoon. Since I came out of hospital (finally had the hernia surgery yaay!) Hubby's been doing 90% of the cooking (I just give the instructions) and he bought me a new computer game. :-)

I sure hope next year is better than this one though - for all of us!
love and hugs for both of you.

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...

Expand My Territories

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV The verse above is commonly referred to as the Prayer of Jabez. I was impressed to find my copy of the book written by Bruce Wilkinson and read it again. Some recent happenings prompted me to reflect upon how my territories have been expanded. The Lord has been blessing me and I have really not deserved these blessings. The past several years, I have been sharing my poetry with my friends on Facebook. I also share the poems with others by writing them on index cards. These are usually received with smiles and people telling me that I should write a book. For years, I have been under the belief that poets and composers achieve the greatest fame after they start decomposing.  The last year or so, I have shared my poems with some best selling author...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
