GENERAL APOLOGY TO ALL
PLEASE READ!
Dear Subscribers & Friends,
I owe each of you a profound amends for most of my comments on your Xanga sites. I just recently found out that we receive limited space here at Xanga, and I am sorry for taking up so much room on your various sites.
You may have already noticed that for the last few days of comments, I've gotten much less long-winded in your space. I promise you that this new policy will continue from here on out.
It's good discipline for me to curb my wordiness whenever possible, including oral as well as written. So, please know that things have changed---for the better I hope!
Thanks for your patience & kindness with me!
A long-stemmed rose from the cottage garden, for each of you!
@>>>-->->------
Tons of love, {{{hugs}}}, and blessings,

A CHUCKLEWORTHY ITEM.....
This is a message I posted at my favorite forum site in all the world.
I had one of my inspirationally funny moments, and it tickles me so much everytime I read it (nothing like being your own best audience & fan!), that I thought I'd log it and share it here.++++++++++[]++++++++++
*ACHTUNG !*
Ja Vohl, Fraulein (or is it Frau?) Commandant Assistant Hostess! Dankashein for the lovely welcome! I'm going to honor you with my Official, Original "Giggling Schweinhundt (Piggy)" Award:
<(^g^)>
.....and in the timeless words of the immortal Arnold Schwarzenegger:
"I'll be bockh!"
Auf Weidersehen,
Das Verplunkdt Earthmomenkinder!
P.S. Regarding my German spelling---(I know...I know, Arnie is Austrian; but I employed *phonetic* spelling for his famous, Germanically accented, pronunciation of the english word "back"; therefore, official spelling in this case, is.....kaput!)---if anyone reads this who actually know how to correctly spell this stuff---my profound apologies for any errors. Some of the words I already knew, others I was able to look up, and the rest?.....well, I did my best on "Dankashein", "Schweinhundt", "Verplunkdt", and the "Vohl" in "Ja Vohl" ("Earthmomenkinder" doesn't count---I made it up)!
P.P.S. Can you tell I love wordplay, -AND- that I'm a *slave* (sigh.....), to detail & accuracy?
If you would like to see the post in it's original setting of the complete message thread, it's only four brief messages.
If you are registered with Delphi Forums, you know the deal.
If you are not a member of Delphi (and you still want to go there),
a brief registration will be required before the first message will display.
(Some of the forums at Delphi invite unregistered "guests" to visit the
forum---just for viewing; but this forum's host has found it necessary to
exempt non-participating guests.)
The first message is ScrappySue's welcome to me for dropping by
the forum. Then comes my reply (this funny weblog), followed by
her cute return volley. The last post contains my closing wisecracks.

ALRIGHTY, THEN!!! I just figured out how to add a link to a weblog, comment, or review, etc.; and I've tested it by doing my first review.
If you want to see it, just click this link and enjoy! I *do* hope you check out this item that I reviewed---because it (the item) is really cool!!!
S. -
One thing is very clear to me---I have the need for a forum or other two-way/back-and-forth type communication situation to supplement the weblogging.
For example:
* I post a public weblog
* One of my subscribers posts a comment on it.
* I want to reply to their comment---on the same topic, and this is where the natural flow stops.
***WHERE DO I POST MY REPLY ON THE SAME WEBLOG COMMENT TOPIC THREAD???***
So far, I've had to go to [the subscriber's] site, open a comment on one of their new weblog topics which is altogether unrelated (prematurely of course---before I'm actually ready to comment on that particular one), and then comment on both.
It's a disconcerting & choppy communication format at that point.
I love the weblogging and comments---I just want more!
(Oh...Wah, Wah Wah. Baby wants what she wants, when she wants it!)
If someone knows a solution, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, I know the outcome. I'll just have to let it go, adjust to what is, and honor my own motto:

Gratitude in all,
both great & small.

Earlier today, I wrote a comment in response to a Xanga friend's weblog about the loss of elderly relatives. At my age (61 going on 62), death is a *major* part of the vicissitudes of life. You don't get very far without it appearing in your path, and the folks who passed to the next reality aren't much older than me, as older folks go---just in their 80's.
Since I believe all factoids in life are relative, I have to say that my experience at this stage of my journey, is that death is relative to senior citizenhood.
Now it just so happens, that I am a sober & clean recovering alcoholic & diet-pillhead (no consumption or use of alcohol or any other mind-altering or addictive drugs, since 1971); as well as an ex-chain smoker (no cigarettes since 1971) .....YA-A-A-AY FOR ME, ON BOTH COUNTS !
I mention this to say that sadly, on a continuous basis for over three decades, I have also dealt with the deaths [from nicotine use and chemical dependency or abuse] of altogether too many of my friends & spiritual family (which is *HUGE*---I'm SO fortunate!). They have died.....both directly & indirectly.....from alcohol poisoning/drug overdose/suicide/cirrhosis of the liver/AIDS/lung cancer & breast cancer + cancer of the gall bladder, etc.---and so on, and so forth. (<---Triple redundancy on purpose). Some of these folks were in recovery & some not.
I had several pets die when I was just a child; my dad died (heart/other) 10 days before my 15th birthday in 1955, and my mother died (heart/other) in the first week after my 17th sobriety anniversary in 1988. I've lost at least 3 people that I know of from AIDS, 4 that I can think of from some sort of cancer, *COUNTLESS* from addiction related causes, and I haven't even mentioned the rest of my blood family (which is also large).
I am a quadruple Scorpio, and death issues are a natural part of the mythology of that astrological sign. My philosophy is, that death is just the transition experience from one dimensional realm of reality to another.
I am not afraid of dying, due to my love for God; and because I've literally been on the brink of death too many times! Still, I don't want to die as yet myself---THERE'S ALWAYS MORE OF GOD'S WORK TO BE DONE! Yet with that statement, I have to say that for my body to die, is to be completely and perfectly *with* God.....no more of the pain, struggle, and loss of the material human realm. Part of me *does* look forward to the day when I migrate to that place of freedom. I don't say that sadly, but with the greatest joy imaginable!
`Til then, I am totally content being here.....doing whatever The Father wants me to do. In spite of the great difficulties [forever inherent] in my particular Life Path experience---I am the blessed recipient of the highest level of fulfillment in the being and doing!

Gratitude in all,
both great & small.

So far, I'm 0 for 2 in favor of my bright, yellow-colored site header. It really seems to make folks feel cheerful, and I'm quite glad about that!
It's always my prayer to be some kind of blessing each day, to the cosmos and all it's inhabitants.
Many of the blessings I "commit", are those I try to do on purpose---this one just happens to be accidental!
I think the whole situation requires something a little special, so I'm going to honor myself and all my appreciative visitors, with my "Giggling Piggy" Award!

Mega Earthmom {{{Cyberhugs}}} to all!
