WoooHooo! The chase is on! Can't wait to see who wins it all in Homestead this year! My money's on Tony!

2008-04-21T22:23:00.002-04:00

Man, they brought gne back and I missed it, I guess I should check into flickr every now and then and see what's going on. I'll bet it was fun. I can't believe it's been sooo long since we've all gotten together. Maybe next year we can all get together in real life. If we can't have our game back, maybe we can dream for awhile.

2008-04-08T23:24:00.001-04:00

I've lost all my links and I'm not even sure if anyone's still around. Comments are working now, of course that means I've lost all of the old ones. That sucks! If you should happen by, leave me your address and I'll re-add you.

2008-04-08T23:21:00.001-04:00

Well maybe this time I'll actually post more than once every 6 months. Doubt it, but I'm going to try.

2007-06-12T18:09:00.000-04:00

definitely time to update this, changes are a comin'

2005-06-18T12:20:00.000-04:00

It's been a long, long time since I've even thought about blogging. Now that the slow summer season is here, maybe I'll have more time, although flickr seems to take up most of my online time these days. I hope everyone's well and drop me a line sometime, it would be nice to hear from you. yes I mean YOU! :)

2005-03-22T22:00:00.000-05:00

Wow, the whole world really can change overnight. I went away for the weekend and Y! bought flickr. I'm not sure this is a good thing but who knows, maybe Y! won't ruin it. I'm not so sure. I love going to the flickr site and looking at all the new pictures that people have posted. Someday when I get to have a faster connection, I might be able to post more pictures. I do it occasionally but I really don't have time anymore. This buyout is like when we lost majestic or when gne went away. I know things don't stay the same, change is good? but change does suck sometimes.

We can always hope that this will free up Caterina, Stewart, Jason, Cal and George to work on gne!

2005-02-06T22:16:00.000-05:00

Now then, to all you Brown's fans that put down Bill Belichick when he was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, I say raspberries, phftt, to you. If a head coach is ever given a chance in Cleveland, he will do well. I was born in Cleveland and have been a die-hard Browns fan, even when they were 3-13. I love the Browns. Maybe you all should lighten up a bit. Success isn't instantaneous, no matter what you think. I say Belichick winning 3 Superbowls proves he "can" coach. All he needed was some time.

I'm really sad that it's gone and am going to miss seeing everyone in chat and knowing that when we all get together again, as some of us will, it won't be while clicking away or waiting for TRG so we can yoink from the campers. Goodbye, gne.

I recieved an email today with a link that I think is very important. It's for Floridians who need help after the hurricanes we've had and the 1 that's on the way. I'm not asking for me, we did ok. It's for everyone else that has lost their homes or jobs or memories. It really doesn't matter if it's only $1 (or more if you can.)

We did alright, like I said, lost nothing but a bunch of trees and the pond is overfull. No big deal, you just take the loader and push the trees out of the way, that's what's really nice about having acres of land. You don't have to worry about the neighbors and they don't have to worry about you.

The stress levels down here are getting really bad, people just don't care, if you have something they want, they take it, even if it's your lane on the road. And I've found that most don't even look when they're turning onto a main road, they slow down for the turn and go.

Speaking of stress levels, this had better be the last hurricane this year, 3 in 1 month is just crazy. Hurricane season isn't over until the end of November so this could be a loooonnggg, loooonnnggg season.

2004-09-01T16:00:00.000-04:00

I still have a few pics of Hurricane Charley to post but I can't seem to find the time. Now, Frances might be coming this way. I don't think we can stand another hurricane this soon after Charley. Anything that hasn't fallen down or come apart already is going to when Frances gets here. Maybe we'll be lucky and Frances will just go away. Somehow, I don't think so, I think it's just our year........

I'll get back here as soon after as I can and let everyone know what's happened. I hope it will be nothing and everyone is safe.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

2004-07-26T21:56:00.000-04:00

wow, updates around here are great, I mean bloggers not mine. I do have pics and stories, there's just been so much going on. 3 new args, trying to get sleep to make up for all that I missed while on vacation, and of course, work. I haven't had time to do any blogging. The pics have all been named and will be posted (for the most part) on Mart's site. He has nicely offered the space and I have gratefully accepted.

I loved Vancouver, it's beautiful mountains, water, and for the most part people. I say that because on the day we left someone stole my laptop. That was the only bad stain on the whole trip. The weather was perfect, it only rained once, on monday morning, for a few hours and then faded away over the mountains. We ended up with a perfect party room and great people to party with. More next time and maybe a pic or two.

2004-07-15T10:45:00.000-04:00

Well, we're off to Vancouver, hope everyone's ready for pics when we get back. I'm excited about going and yet worried about the long flight. I don't like being cooped up for a long period of time. And the lack of smoking is going to kill me. I've got hard candy and other snacks with me, that should help a bit. We'll be back Tuesday, everyone have fun. Bye!

2004-06-25T18:58:00.000-04:00

Another rainy day in Florida, the usual afternoon storms are here and seem to be lasting into the evening.

I seem to be hooked on Kingdom of Loathing, it's fun, it takes forever to get leveled up enough to go everywhere but it's very similar to the gne prototype where you had to spend alot of time making in order to make something better.

Speaking of gne, we have stuff again. We can even make things, not alot of things but anything is better than nothing. 'mute showed us a map, a temporary map, but at least we know that they are doing something behind the scenes. I can't wait until next month, we're leaving for Vancouver on the 15th of July. It will be nice to meet some of these online characters in person.

That's it for now, but at least it's something, considering I've actually updated more than once in the last month.

Be safe!

2004-06-22T17:03:00.000-04:00

Wow! I guess I shouldn't wait so long in between posting, the new (to me) interface is nice.

So much has been going on I haven't had time to post. We finally got our property, now to decide on what kind of house to put on it. I will be nice to get out of this single-wide mobile home and have room to stretch. Having the land around us here has helped, at least this way our neighbors aren't right on top of us like they would be if we were in a park. It's still small though. I haven't a complaint really, we've been here for 5 years and had fun.

I finally got a regular route and life is good. I know what I'm going to be doing everyday and can actually plan a life now. It's off season so I should be able to be done working earlier each day too. NICE.

My jeep has been working well until today, the throttle cable broke. I had just finished my last delivery and was heading back to the office. All I did was step on the gas and "click" the pedal went to the floor. Needless to say, the pedal was the only thing moving. Now parts are not easy to find but hopefully the auto parts guy can have one for me tomorrow. That would be quick, another told me it would be at least 3 days. I can't be off of work for that long. I need to save my vacation days for Vancouver next month.

That's another good thing, everything's set, the hotel, the car and the plane ride. Yay. I can't wait, even if there are only a few going, it will be nice to get away and visit somewhere I've never been before.

Hope everyone's well!

Work is still crazy but I finally got my own route. That means that I'm now a full time carrier with all that comes with it. It's a bit of a raise but it's also less hours and paid vacations. I also only have to work 5 days a week, that is, after this next weekend, because of Mother's Day, I said I'd work to help out a bit. Yay, no more 60 hour weeks and being dead tired when I get home. Hope everyone is well and now I might be able to blog a bit more.

2004-03-08T21:18:00.000-05:00

Wow, time flies by, I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted anything! Season is about half over down here so hopefully I'll start getting more free time again.

I'm going to be a full time regular carrier in about 2 more months, yay! All that reallly means is that I get to do the same route 5 days a week instead of 5 or 6 different ones every week. It's going to be nice but after awhile doing the same route day after day is going to be boring. At least I'll only have to do that and not help do the 1000 other things that they try and have me do everyday. Oh, and I'll finally get medical and health benefits that will probably take away half of my paycheck. I guess if I plan on retiring sometime, that I need to do it and start working on the "excellent" retirement benefits that all government employees get ;(

Hope everything's good and everyone's fine. And one other thing, try flickr.com, it's fun and the people are really nice. It's not a game but it is social.

2004-02-12T14:51:00.000-05:00

GNE has been changed temporarily, now you can reach what they've released as flickr at flickr.com. It's all about picture sharing and chatting. I'd post it as a link but it's going to change again. They're getting somewhere, and the amount of people around has definitely grown. Come and visit, if you have the time and if anyone is still reading.

Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been working to hard again. I did manage to buy an old postal jeep over the weekend. It's great and purrs like a kitten. I should be getting my own postal route in the next few months. I decided it was time to get a vehicle that I can deliver out of comfortably. It works.

Hope everyone's welll.

2004-01-30T21:52:00.000-05:00

Well, the acreage is going to take a bit more then just bidding on it, the house on it isn't worth much and I have to try and get a vacant land loan and hope that my credit is good enough to qualify. Just in case, I'm going to look at a new place on Sunday. The 2 places I saw today were nice but not what I'm looking for, I want some land and a small house. I don't have time to take care of a big house and don't want to live in the middle of a mess. I hope everyone is fine and that there isn't too much snow for those of you up north!

2004-01-16T20:30:00.000-05:00

The house hunting is going well. I think we've found 10 acres in our price range, yay. It's just taking up all of my free time. I hope everyone is well.

2004-01-04T20:07:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year all. I've been way too busy to blog anything. I hope the new year finds everyone healthly and happy!

2003-12-09T22:12:00.000-05:00

A big Thank you goes to bd again, he's always saving me when I screw something up on here. I tried to get rid of a few old links and update my comments back to reblogger. I like reblogger the best out of all of them, I'm not sure why, I guess it's like an old hat or purse you just can't do without them.

Not much going on, I've had a nasty cold all week and the cough still hasn't gone away. At least I feel like I'm going to live. I'm glad it wasn't the flu though. It's even worse.

The ARGers are trying to get a fest going in Vancouver sometime in July. I hope I can make it. I've never been there and we had so much fun in Orlando last month. It's nice being able to put faces with the nicks that you chat with often.

2003-12-03T21:27:00.000-05:00

I need some help, I did something to my code and can't find it. My posts shouldn't be doing what they are doing. I'm not sure what I did, I've looked at everything and can't find what is probably 1 little thing that is causing it to screw up.

Anyhow, I guess it's my turn to be sick, I have a terrible cold and can't get any time off of work to rest and get better. With the holidays coming up, we are super busy and just can't get ahead. I'm glad everyone is mailing early but can't you all just give me a break and let me be sick? Just kidding, I'd rather go crazy now, than work until 9 on Christmas eve trying to get everyone their packages before Christmas.

For anyone who's playing GNE, there's more stuff to play with now. It seems that they're adding new things almost everyday.

2003-11-30T22:03:00.000-05:00

Well comments seem to be back, all by themselves, I might add. It's cold down here, too cold for me. I don't know how anyone lives up north. I did it for years and fought with the snow and fell on the ice. No fun!

I had a very uneventful day today, yay. Those are few are far between anymore. Not much going on in the gaming zone and not much going on at home. Nascar is over until February and football was just too boring to watch. Yesterday's FSU/ Florida game was great though. I almost lost my voice screaming at the TV. And the Seminoles won. YAY!

2003-11-26T21:44:00.000-05:00

I lost comments again, reblogger, just disappeared.

2003-11-26T19:33:00.000-05:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, that is if your country celebrates it. I'm mostly going to enjoy a day off of work and maybe get around to cooking a turkey with all the trimmings. I haven't decided yet. It's definitely different down here, when it's cold outside you know that the holidays are right around the corner. It doesn't get very cold here, at least not cold enough to realize that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and that Christmas is less than a month away.

I actually was very lucky at work today. They threw me on a route I'd never done before and it was a nice one. That never happens! I actually got out of work at a decent time for once. Sometimes I do love my job.

2003-11-24T21:31:00.000-05:00

Not much happening here. Back to work is back to work. I (like most everyone else) wish I didn't have to work. The weather right now is great. It's the reason I moved down here. Nice days and cool nights.

I definitely came back from vacation with a much better attitude. I almost like the world again. I think that just getting away wasn't enough, I needed to get away for awhile and make new friends. Do things that I enjoy doing and just not worry about anything. I know that everything at home was taken care of, the best thing I ever did was to raise a son that handles responsibility well. I can't believe that he's mine sometimes! The animals were fed and the house was safe. It was a mess, but I left it that way.

There's a link (which sucks) below the weatherpixie, I believe, that will let you see my pics from the ARGfest Orlando, I don't think that you have to join to see them. If you do sorry, don't worry, there won't be any email from me about the group. Just join and quit if you want. I just had too much trouble posting them. I know, I'm just computer illiterate but I'm better than I was, and it's still thanks to friends.

I'm hoping to update more, with the holidays on the way, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Except of course, to work. The long days start right after Thanksgiving and don't end until April when the snowbirds go home.

I can't wait.

And Brian, please try and make Vancouver in July!

2003-11-22T23:39:00.000-05:00

The pictures are posted, just not on here. I had quite a few problems with what I was trying to use to add them here. The new address is, unfortunately, a href="http://groups.msn.com/ARGfestOrlando/_whatsnew.msnw" This was the easiest way for me to get them online fast. All I can say was that is was a great time and I can't wait to see everyone again.

2003-11-21T11:51:00.000-05:00

I'm going to figure this out if it kills me. I'm trying to get my pics published smaller. It will happen.

2003-11-05T20:47:00.000-05:00

So much has happened I'm not sure where to start. We wen to the Oktoberfest last weekend and had a great time. A bunch of people from work all met there and we proceeded to get very drunk together on German beer. I'm not going to name any names but as we were leaving the parking lot, I passed one of my co-workers walking through the lot with her bra in her hand! Who says postal workers are stressed out all the time? We can have fun, just llike everyone else.

OK, that was last week. This weekend we're going away for a long vacation. First to Orlando to meet some of the ARG people that I"ve chatted with from time to time, throughout the last few years. We're all going to Universal on saturday and who knows what might happen there. They are always full of surprises. The only problem is no internet access while I'm gone, I don't have a laptop, boo hoo.

After that, we're heading down to Homestead for the Ford Championship weekend of Nascar. And to say goodbye to Winston, since next year it will be Nextel. There's nothing like being at a race and this time they've increased the banking to 20 degrees. It should be better side by side racing than what they've had there for the last 5 years. I can't wait!

It's going to be nice to be able to put faces to all those names and just to get off of work for 10 days is totally incredible. Have fun everyone, I sure believe that I will.

2003-10-09T22:06:00.000-04:00

I finally went and did it, I bought a new car. New to me, not brand new. It's a 1999 Ford Taurus. I wanted a pickup but it's hard to deliver mail out of a truck, so that's going to have to wait. It's maroon in color and loaded with everything. I still haven't figured out the pic problem so it will be awhile before I can post one here.

I've been so busy I haven't had time to post here or even read up on how everyone's doing. I hope that you are all ready for the best holiday coming up. Of course I mean Halloween! Later.

2003-09-28T00:07:00.000-04:00

Well, it's been one year since Wally's been gone, sometimes time really does fly. It seems like yesterday to me. I really miss him. It's going to be a hard day to forget. My boyfriend's birthday is the same day, it was his party that it happened. I still expect him to show up and start calling me ma or just keep everyone laughing.
He would be proud of his daughter, she's a beautiful little girl. I hope she lives a wonderful life.
Curtis didn't have a bad day, all he wanted for his birthday was an uneventful day and that's what we had. Nothing much happened. We went to dinner with his son and mine, then went to see a few friends that we hadn't seen in a while. After that it was home, he had been out drinking earlier and was a bit tired. All in all it was definitely better than the day we had 1 year ago.

2003-09-22T21:44:00.000-04:00

Not much going on here. I'm looking for a new car, the old one is about to blow up. I can't complain, I've put quite a few miles on it and only paid $1000 for it 3 years ago. It's just been great for delivering mail in and I'm afraid I won't find anything that will work just as well. I'd love to buy something new but my job is just too hard on a vehicle to do that. It's cheaper just to buy something older and fix the little things as they come along. Well back to the hunt.

2003-09-18T20:17:00.000-04:00

I'm just following orders. I don't have anything to blog about. Here's your post for the day Adam. ; )

2003-09-17T00:23:00.000-04:00

I'm surprised that anyone even still reads this. I never post and when I do there's nothing much said. I guess it's just that summer in Florida is boring, it's too hot to do much of anything so all I really do is sit in front of my computer when I'm not at work. There are a few good things going on online right now. The chat for gameneverending is getting better everyday. They keep adding things to keep us happy while we wait for the game to start. Puzzlepirates is fun but time consuming so I never get here to write anything.

2003-09-05T00:43:00.000-04:00

One more thing, Yaccs is down for a few more days, not that anyone was commenting anyway.

2003-09-05T00:29:00.000-04:00

I guess I don't have to worry to much about this becoming a habit, I don't have time to write much these days.

Chasing the Wish is over. That's sad, I would have to say that it was excellent! Leave it to Dave to make the most exciting and interesting game around. And all without a major sponsor! He kept many, many people's time occupied for well over 6 months and I don't remember hearing anyone complaining about it ever being slow. I can't wait for him to do something else. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure I can do more than lurk.

Puzzlepirates is going well. I've joined a crew "Pirates of the Damned" and they're really into the game. Our captain, Thanos, tries to fair to everyone and tries to get his senior officers more involved in helping the crew. It's another game that I don't get enough time to really enjoy. I'd like to have my own boat and maybe a shop but no time for that either. I've started a second character on there just to solo every now and then but it's more fun with the crew.

And of course, my favorite, GNE. I'm ging to try and spend more time in chat. Things are moving along, slowly, but moving. There's more people in chat now. Some I've not seen for months, some new. I like that it says I've been there from olden times. I have been but it's nice to see something progressing and know that you've been there almost from the start.

Enough of my games and no more time, I have to get some sleep.

2003-08-21T22:03:00.000-04:00

Twice in less than a week, better be careful, this might turn into a habit again.

I found this thing on the web, no big deal but it lets me post my pics a bit smaller than I can get them here. It's fotolog net / greywolf. So far there's only a pic of my granddaughter and another of my boyfriend and me. I can only do 1 a day or pay for 6 a day. I'd rather just do 1 and save my money for something else. It's pretty cool though. I like it. An edit here. I didn't find it, some of the people at GNE chat turned me on to it. I was a bit tired when I posted this and don't want any of them to not get credit for helping me with this.

Not much else going on here. Work and more work is about it.

2003-08-15T20:29:00.000-04:00

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged anything. Wow, I guess I've been busier than I thought. Well, I guess working 6 days a week will do that to anyone. Needless to say, not much going on here, all I do is work. I never did get time to fix the pic and I don't have time now. I hope everyone survived the blackout. I heard from my mom yesterday, their power came on about 9:30 last nite. At least they didn't have to spend the whole nite in darkness. I think my step sister is still in darkness though.

I hope Dusty and John are safe and that Erika misses them by miles and miles.

2003-07-13T15:28:00.000-04:00

I'll fix this later, I can't get the pic to stay small in between my comp and blogger. Oh well, I never said I was very computer literate.

2003-07-13T14:44:00.000-04:00

This is my grandaughter, Katlyn, she's a cutie. It took me all day to get this to work, I think something was up with Blogger, cuz now it works all of a sudden and I haven't changed anything. I'll write more in my next post, I want to make sure that the pic gets posted.

2003-07-13T13:13:00.000-04:00

Something isn't working right, it's not publishing

2003-07-13T13:10:00.000-04:00

I'm playing with Blogger today, so bear with me

2003-07-04T15:18:00.000-04:00

Happy Fourth of July!

Two more days until my granddaughter gets here. I can't wait, it's so cool having a little one around even if it's only for a week. It seems so strange for them to be coming here. I know my son doesn't like it here much. There's nothing to do, he says. Maybe now that he's older and a dad it won't be so bad.

It's a fairly slow week at work which is good,I've got a lot of cleaning to do both here and at mom's house. Her's isn't too bad, they've only been gone for a few months, it's just a bit musty from being closed up. I don't understand why it doesn't get very dusty.

We haven't been flooded out yet, it usually takes a day or 2 for the sheetflow to reach us. With all the rain we've received in the last 4 days it should be pretty bad. I hope not.

I made the mistake of upgrading to msn8, ewww, I can't wait until September when my contract with them is up. Then I'll figure something else out. It's hard to find something that works halfway decent out here. Maybe someday we can connect some other way.

2003-06-20T20:35:00.000-04:00

Wow, the new set up is great, I guess I should check in a bit more often. It's been really hard to think of what to write here. So much has been going on and work has been crazy. I guess there isn't a season here anymore, we're busy all the time now.

It was nice going back up to Cleveland even though the circumstances weren't the best. I hadn't been back home in almost 9 years! I now have a better idea of what all you people in the north are going through with the weather. It was either raining or just plain cold the whole time I was there. After 2 days I was ready to come back home to Florida, I really missed the sun.

I also got to meet my granddaughter, she's 2 and just like me, paybacks for my son. They're coming down here next week. They were trying to surprise me with a visit, but as usual, I surprised them first. The ony person who knew I was coming up was my mom. I needed for someone to be around when I arrived. It was great, they were all surprised. And another thing while I'm thinking about it, if you ever need last minute tickets definitely use Hotwire, they gave me a great deal. Hotwire beat Expedia and Priceline by almost $400 each.

More later.

2003-06-10T18:39:00.000-04:00

I've been trying to figure out how to say what's been going on, it's hard. My dad's friend, he says she wasn't his girlfriend but they were inseperable, has passed away. He was with her when she went, she suffered a major heartattack. I went back to Ohio to be with him and make sure that he was alright. Unfortunately I had to come home before everything was over. I sure hope he comes down here soon. My brother and sister live up there but it isn't the same.

As hot as it's been down here, it's just as cold up there. I couldn't believe it 56 degrees in June!! There was finally some sun on friday and it felt warmer. More later when I can.

2003-05-22T12:03:00.000-04:00

We won, we won. Even though there's 1 more week of darts left, they can't beat us. We're 11 games ahead and there's only 9 more to play. Now I wasn't on the friendliest team but they definitely were all good shooters. We do a blind draw at the beginning of the league so that it's a bit more fair. Most people that play at Fastrack aren't very good and by doing it this way it sometimes works out where all the teams are fairly even. In the last league all 6 teams were really close at the end. This time we basically blew them away. We played for 14 weeks with 2 byes, with 73 wins in 12 weeks, we averaged 6 wins a night. Yeah us. We did better than that, we actually had 1 night that we lost 6 games.

2003-05-18T15:09:00.000-04:00

Not too much going on here. It's already wayy to hot to do anything outside, I guess we don't get to enjoy a spring this year. It's been nothing but 90 or better for awhile now. Well they say that it's good for tourism.

There are so many games going right now I'm not sure which ones to start. I've been trying Puzzle pirates which is fun. I'm still waiting for Game Neverending to start beta, it should be soon. The alpha was fun and I miss making things and chatting with everyone in the game. Now we're spread out over too many chats.
I'm going to go and play with my new camera, maybe I can takes some pics that will be worth posting.

2003-05-14T07:25:00.000-04:00

Yea, my stocks went live yesterday, now let's see if I can make them worth something.

I was watching Charlie Rose last nite, just surfing through channels and the gang from Matrix was on. They talking about making the movie and things that they had to do to get in shape, can you imaginge spending one month just to get ready for one fight scene? That's dedication and that's a short scene, the big one took almost four months to get ready for. It was nice to listen to them talk about it. I have more to say but I need to go to work. Later all.

2003-05-12T21:43:00.000-04:00

This Blogshares thing that they have going on is great. I've done pretty good so far even though I can't seem to get my blog indexed. Whatever, I'll just keep making money on everyone else's blogs. That's the idea anyway.
My puppy is getting so big, I'm going to take some pics of him this weekend and see if I can get them online. He's cute but getting to be a pain, he constantly wants to be under my feet and when I'm sitting here there just isn't enough room.
I was bidding in an online auction the other day and my cat jumped up on the keyboard, boy was I surprised when I liiked at the bid and it was wayyyyy over what I wanted to bid. After panicking and emailing the auctioneer I looked again and found out that someone else had wayyyy overbid. It still registered that I had won with the really high amount but I haven't heard anything yet about what's going to happen. Maybe everyone's stumped on what to do. I don't know how to solve it either.

2003-05-09T19:44:00.000-04:00

I hope every mom out there has a good Mother's Day on Sunday.

I need to go and buy a Digital camera, my problem is I'm not sure which one to get. If anyone has an opinion of which one is the best(under $500) let me know. My budget won't allow for more than that, we're working on buying a house so I need to save every penny I can. I've just decided that I can't live any longer without one.

2003-05-07T22:06:00.000-04:00

2003-05-04T21:59:00.000-04:00

What a weekend it's been, thank goodness it's almost over.

2003-04-24T15:15:00.000-04:00

Help me, please. I tried to get into chat today and the link won't work for me, maybe it's just me, it's been a long time since I've chatted anywhere. There are a few other things that I need help with but I'm not posting it here.

We had a scare at the airport on Tuesday, they found some white powder in one of our containers. Still don't know what it is but they said it was harmless. As of this morning we still don't have the mail that was in that container, so I wonder just how harmless it really is. If it came in today I was supposed to get called in and that didn't happen, a nice unexpected day off but still..... With it being Express Mail, there were a lot of important things in there, people were calling about getting their plane tickets, their contracts, all those kinds of things. I hope that they just didn't call me and figured out some other way to get these things out to the people. I think we all forgot how close we can be to terrorism because nothing's happened here since September 11 and the anthrax (fun) we had. At least we know that people are still on guard. Not the way it usually goes here. Out of site, out of mind.

2003-04-06T13:07:00.000-04:00

I'm not sure if anyone can help, but there's someone on the Majestic Alliance ezboard that needs some help. I was checking out old links and some boards and happened to check that one. Their post is almost a month old but maybe they still check for answers. I can't help them I didn't save much of anything and this new computer doesn't have anything Majestic on it except my AIM list. Gotta go the race is on and they're crashing already.

2003-04-02T22:07:00.000-05:00

I guess I did fix it.

Blogging has definitely taken a backseat to reading Blogs. There's so much going on and not much time to read. I've been reading quite a few of the War Blogs out there and to tell you the truth John's Blogs of War is the best. He keeps it updated with what's going on and has the good sense and taste not to put things that we really don't need to see on there. I know that being a newlywed it's got to be hard to find the time to do everything but somehow he finds the time. Maybe I shouldn't write that but noone really reads this much anymore except the few people left from Majestic that even remember who I am. Hopefully I can change that sometime soon and shock you all by showing up in chat, that is if you all still get together and chat. This is supposed to be an easy week at work so maybe it will be soon. I hope so I miss talking with all of you.

2003-04-02T22:05:00.000-05:00

For some reason I'm having problems getting this to publish. I'm not sure what it is I"ve done but I'll try and fix it.

2003-03-11T21:59:00.000-05:00

They reopened GNE for 24 hours, I missed all but the last 2 minutes of it. I did get to hear that maybe, if we're really lucky and if everything goes well, we might be playing the reall game, sooner than later. That's not very specific but better than hearing that things aren't going well and it's going to take longer than we thought. Whatever, at least I got to visit my pretty blue house and say hi to everyone that was there.

Chasing the Wish is definitely getting more and more of my free time, what little free time there is during season. At least it's a break from all the stuff from work, dealing with the snowbirds that don't understand that life just isn't as fast down here as it is where they come from. It does take a bit longer for things to arrive, whether it's your meal at a restaurant or your package from up north. No, I'm not going on a rant, in fact I'm done writing for tonite. See ya in Bobbleton.

2003-03-07T17:33:00.000-05:00

Well, it seems like time is flying by and I'm just lost in space. I haven't had time to update but haven't done anything in my time away worth writing about. We did get a new puppy. He takes a lot of my time, trying to housebreak and just train him period.

My grandma's here for a few days. My mom took her shopping today so I don't have to worry too much about ignoring her. She's off spending all of my inheritance which is just fine by me. I don't want it, I'd rather she enjoys her life and has fun visiting all of us kids. She used to be a 6th grade schoolteacher. I think she could still handle them if she wanted too. What a feisty woman she is. enough for now, it's dinner time.

2003-03-01T18:45:00.000-05:00

The game is on, somehow while r/l was getting in the way, Chasing the Wish went live! Yay!!!! Now to try and catch up with everyone else so I don't have to lurk all the time. The amount of info is overwhelming right now. I can't wait to just dig in and figure out how they've found everything that they've found already! Updates will now be even less regular. See ya!1

2003-02-20T23:59:00.000-05:00

Well, it was great going to Daytona and getting away for a few days, too bad it was only the Daytona 272 instead of the 500. They knew it was going to rain and should have postponed it until the next day. We did have some entertainment during the rain delays however. One of the ushers decided that she was running the whole show and that if the people standing near the fence didn't go back and sit down she was throwing them out. Now it doesnt sound like any big deal, but if you could just see her waving her hands around and pulling people's jackets to get them to move you'd understand. She had the whole crowd laughing at her. She was running around about 7 or 8 sections trying to get people to move. By the time she got down to one end they'd start standing around the other end. I guess that some of the people she was pulling around had had enough because all of a sudden her supervisor came up and made her leave. The crowd went crazy, laughing and cheering. We didn't see her again.

The race itself wasn't bad. I forgot how fast those cars go. It was exciting seeing them again in person. It was pretty scary ther for a little while. When Ryan Newman crashed it was bad. All we could do is sit and wait for the paramedics to get to his car and get him out. Once he was out of the car and standing by himself, we knew that he was alright but it was a pretty bad crash. His car rolled over a half a dozen times and almost completely fell apart. He was ok though so that's what really matters. I'll bet he's still pretty sore though.
My fantasy teams didn't do very well, if the race had gone on to the end I might have done better but 2 of my drivers were caught either at the end or a lap down. Oh well, you can't win them all.

2003-02-14T19:12:00.000-05:00

I almost forgot Happy Valentines Day !

2003-02-14T19:07:00.000-05:00

Well, some how, some way, we are off to Daytona for the races. I'm not really sure how this happened but a friend of mine won 2 tickets from Winn-Dixie and gave them to me!!!!! I'm still in a state of shock. I'm going to the great race and I don't have to work tomorrow. Wow, I wonder if that means my little angel has been watching over me and decided that I needed to get away.Well, anyway, I hope you all have a good weekend and I'll post more when I return.

2003-02-11T20:43:00.000-05:00

I've been working on a new Blog, maybe someday I'll get it finished. I don't have enough time for this one but I decided to buy a name for me to have my own. I just ran out of time to do anything to it.

2003-02-08T23:55:00.000-05:00

It must be getting closer to start time for Chasing the Wish, the updates page has changed 3 times in as many days. I can't wait, it doesnt' seem like there's much of anything to do right now. I guess I could search for another game or go back to NWN's. I've kind of given up on that for a while. I've been spending way too much time doing other things and haven't had ime to play lately.

I miss GNE too. At least there was always someone around when I felt like chatting. It was something I could do and either mind my own business or chat away. I must be in one of those moods tonite. I'm missing a lot of things. I miss the chats with everyone from Majestic. I hope that they haven't been around much is because they're working on a project. That's all I'm going to say about that. See ya all around, soon I hope!

2003-02-08T23:44:00.000-05:00

Found this test on Matt's page, Thanks. I guess I better watch out for giant ducks!

I will be crushed by a giant duck!

How will you die? Take the Exotic Cause of Death Test

2003-02-03T20:09:00.000-05:00

You are red. You are impure, but noble. You are precious and true to yourself and others. When you love, you love entirely, and will do anything to make your love happy. You are sure of your identity, therefore, you cannot change others or be changed. You are a true prince, you may be forgotten, but without you, none of us could go on.

What inner color are you?

2003-02-02T22:55:00.000-05:00

I'm bored. Game Neverending is over for awhile and there's just nothing to do. Chasing the Wish hasn't started yet(that I know of), and there just isn't anything else that I'm interested in doing right now.
I did check out my site's stats and found quite a few hits from Chasing the Wish, so someone's out there trying to find out when it's starting. I wish I knew. I wish I was playing it right now. There isn't much going on around here.

We're all really sad about the Columbia, I still can't believe it. How many more tragedies do we have to go through before someone really goes nuts? It's so hard to even watch the news anymore, nothing good ever happens. It's like, the holidays are over so all we can tell is what's wrong with the world instead of the good things that some people are doing. I'm sure there are some people doing good out there somewhere. Tell us about them. Mix up some good with all the bad. That's all I can rant about for now.

2003-01-26T09:18:00.000-05:00

They say we're having a warm up finally.

2003-01-24T18:00:00.000-05:00

First thing I need to do is say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUSTY I'm so sorry I'm late. This has been a really bad week here. Between freezing and work I've not been online much. I can't believe that it's only 35 degrees here. This is nuts : /

I have some really bad news, bad for me anyway. My dog died today. I came home from work and he was laying in the yard. He looked like he was taking a nap in the sun. When he didn't get up and run to my car when I came home, I knew someting was wrong. I called him and went up to where he was laying. He wasn't breathing, that'w when I knew for sure. At least it looks like he went in his sleep and doesn't look like he suffered at all. I'll miss him, he was definitely my buddy.

2003-01-18T21:56:00.000-05:00

Need to do a little more touch up here. There are still a few things missing. I guess it's good that it's so cold outside, that's another reason to work on my page, I don't want to be outside freezing. Now I realize that to most of you 45 isn't that cold, you need to remember that I'm in southwest Florida, to most of us that is worse than freezing. It feels like 20 below to someone who's been here for a few years. It's just reallly, really cold.

I tried to beta a game called There, they say my computer isn't good enough for their game. Oh well, I'm not upgrading just to beta test. Whatever it is that they want, it's got to be more than I can afford. It's not the best or the most expensive computer there is but it plays the games I want to play and does everything that I need it to do.

Chasing the Wish is going to be starting soon. I can't wait!!!!

2003-01-10T15:53:00.000-05:00

Finally added comments and made everything work, I think. Let's hope so, I may have to be away from here for awhile. GNE is going away on the 31 st and I want to make sure I've tried everything before it's gone. It will be back but it will be a beta by then.

2003-01-09T23:40:00.000-05:00

It's better for now, I definitely need to add some color. At least I can finally thanks my friends and tell them that without the patience they've had with me for the last 2 years, I wouldn't have been able to do any of this by myself.

Thank you all.

2003-01-09T22:46:00.000-05:00

That's better but my pics aren't showing up, trying to fix that too.

2003-01-09T22:26:00.000-05:00

It's still not letting me post, don't know for sure what's up but I'm trying to fix it.

2003-01-06T23:21:00.000-05:00

Eventually this will be finished. Right not Blogger isn't letting me ftp anything, Sorry about the pics not being here but maybe tomorrow it will work right.

2002-12-25T10:49:00.000-05:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone got all they wanted for Christmas and that they were able to be with their loved ones. One of the most important things is being with family and friends this time of year.

2002-12-20T10:04:00.000-05:00

Boy it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I started testing a new game, Game Neverending. It's pretty cool. It's also highly addictive, at least for me it is.It's amazing how a game can take up so much time and you don't even realize it. I played all day on Tuesday and didin't get anything else done, except leveling to 7. I've finally got my making skills up too so now I can make better things and level a bit faster.

I hope everyone's well and congratulations Dusty.

2002-12-05T11:24:00.000-05:00

I haven't had time to try and find some other way of doing this yet. I hate having to spend so much time trying to blog something and it just not work. I hope everyone is doing good, I know I'm really busy at work with the holidays coming up.

2002-11-25T20:15:00.000-05:00

Ok my whole post just disappeared, I'm going to try and find some other way to do this. I have had enough of fighting just to have my post disappear.

2002-11-20T14:10:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't updated since I've been back, Blogger has been really slow and I haven't had time to wait it out.

The Keys were awesome. It's nice to go somewhere that everyone is relaxed and not in a hurry to get nowhere fast. I actually enjoyed going back to work yesterday. The trip over there was pretty good, except for the 2 tires that blew out on the way. Of course they were both on the same side and went together. Not too bad for the maiden voyage.

We met up with some friends on Tuesday and tried to find the No Name Pub. Believe me it is the hardest place to find but definitely worth looking for. The food there is great and the people are friendly. It's on Big Pine Key and way off the beaten path. And of course the beer is excellent. We were going to spend that night at a state park on Long Key but they were already full. It seems a lot of people decided to use the week before the races to go on vacation also. No problem there are plenty of places to stay down there. We found an RV park up at Key Largo and spent the night. What a nice place, the sauna they had has a waterfall with warm water coming out of it. That was really cool.
The next nite we headed up to Homestead to stay at a friends house. We just parked the RV by the bath house and plugged in, we stayed until Monday, more on that later. Gotta go, darts are tonite and I haven't even shopped for dinner yet.

2002-11-05T19:50:00.000-05:00

Well, I voted today, not totally Democratic because there are some real losers in this state. Sometimes you have to vote for the lesser of 2 evils and I believe that voting for Jeb as governor again is the right thing to do. McBride would have raided our pay checks and started a state income tax.That's the only way he could have afforded to do all the things he promised. I believe I pay enough taxes to take care of everything (schools, which I don't have any children in, our fire district, which lets things burn before they show up anyway, Mosquito(sp) control, which is almost worthless in Florida, etc. etc. etc.)
And no I have no facts to back it up but, what happened to all that oil we were supposed to have after they ran their pipeline through Alaska? Wasn't that the be-all end-all of our supposed dependence on other countries? As long as they can keep the prices up there will never be enough oil to satisfy the oil companies. I don't believe that they should drill in the Gulf of Mexico( I know that they are). I also believe that they have the necessary cars, trucks,planes and equipment for heating, cooling and processing that can use less fuel but won't use them either. That's less money in their fat ass wallets and we can't have that now can we?
I suppose in a way I work for this so called government but being an RCA for the Post Office is about as low on the ladder as you can get. We are the one's that do all the work and don't get paid for it. That's not right either, we do get paid for it but what they pay, without of course benefits, which RCA's don't recieve, it's not much better than minimum wage. The bullshit involved leads to health problems and never knowing if the next person to stop you is going to shoot you or ask directions can be stressful. Just one more on this little rant about work and I'm done. I don't get sick days, that's no problem, I will when I go regular. What gets me is that they give you so many, 5 I think a year, but they don't want you to use them. They're constantly complaining about them. Now the PO employs over 800,000 people and they say there's too much absenteeism if 500 people a day call in sick. That doesn't sound that bad to me.

Back to the voting.They're trying to pass a law here like they did in California, so that you can't smoke in restaurants and other public places, yes I am a smoker, so what, I don't think that they should have to right to tell me that I can't light up after a good meal or when I'm drinking a beer. I do try and make sure that it's not bothering others around me, I don't like the smoke either.

I need to go, I'm starving to death right now.

2002-10-29T20:41:00.000-05:00

Haven't Blogged much lately, not a whole lot going on here. I'm trying to get the motorhome in shape before we go to Homestead for the races next month. It's been a while since it's been used and it's all dusty and dirty.

Push was fun and maybe not over yet. Congrats to everyone who got through on the phone. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them. I made it harder than it had to be and didn't get the right number the first time. By the time I figured out the right one it was too late. Let's hope that if they continue with this, it's good and not just a total waste of time.

On to Nascar news, Tony's still first in points and has a bigger margin than he did last week..Go Tony!!!!

Well it's almost time for 24. It's about the only thing left on TV now that Farscape is gone.

2002-10-24T07:02:00.000-04:00

I sure hope someone hears from the DC area guys today. I don't get into chat, cuz I'm at work when you all are on, so I check for updates and there hasn't been any. I sure hope that the 2 guys they picked up are the ones doing the shooting.

My tickets for the Homestead race showed up yesterday, Yay. Maybe this year the newest bad boy of Nascar will win the championship. He is in first place in points right now with only 4 races to go. I'd love to see him win but my heart would really like Mark Martin to win it. He's probably going to retire in the next few years and he doesn't have a championship yet.

Later.

2002-10-21T20:34:00.000-04:00

Another fun day of trying to get Blogger to post. I've been down with the flu since friday evening and just now am starting to feel like living is an option. I haven't been this sick in a long time. They gave out flu shots at work on Thursday. I'm glad I didn't get one, I'd have to blame being sick on that. It seems like everyone a work has been through this already and at least now I have too.

I put a new link on here for a treasure hunt that's supposed to start soon but they don't say when. Just that the button will change when the time has come.

2002-10-18T19:48:00.000-04:00

Now about the teenage sex story. I'm keeping this fairly clean, you never know for sure which family members may be reading. Let's just say I cut it a little too close one day when my mom decided to come home early from work. We were on the couch in the family room and just barely had time to stand up before she walked in the door. She wasn't very happy.
That's not the only one but it's the easiest to clean up and post here.

I know most of you aren't Nascar fans, but I am. I'm getting really excited, it's getting closer to Homestead, and that's the last race this year. Now we've been every year since the first and it's always a good time. I think we're going to spend some time in the Keys this year, so if anyone wants anything let me know. Key West is cool but I like Marathon better. It's more laid back and a lot less touristy. Living in Fl, it's nice to go somewhere that the tourists don't. There aren't to many places left like that anymore. Even Ft. Myers Beach gets the college kids now.
I just can't wait.

I put the weather girl on here to let you all know just how warm it is here. Believe me, there are days when I wish it was colder.

Thanks again ring fairy.
