Something I have to say

-
I started this blog in Sept 2004, just about 3 1/2 years ago. When I started I went around and found other blogs that I liked and started reading them. Now, I don't always comment. I don't always have something to say. Sometimes I just like reading about other people. I live in my head all the time. Sometimes I like to get out of my head and into someone else's.

Anyway, over time my reading shifted, I stopped reading some, I picked up others, blah, blah, blah. Yesterday I was going through some old bookmarks on my old computer and I came across some blogs I haven't read in a while. I went to see what they were up to and almost all of them have just stopped posting. No goodbye. No taking a break. No screw you. Just gone. Now some of these people were good enough writers that they ended up getting book deals. Now they are just gone. That makes me sad. I can't help but wonder what happened. Did they give up on their weight loss/athletic pursuits? Did something happen to them? Did they just get bored? You all know how you feel you know someone from reading their blog. When they just disappear it makes me wonder.

Anyway, if you plan on stopping blogging, even for a while, just leave a note saying so. Don't leave those of us who read you hanging out there like a bunch of chandeliers. I may not always comment, but I guarantee I'm always reading. Thank you.

Yeah, it's sad when bloggers fade away. I always hope they are doing well.

Commenting on blogs is definitely tough. Keeping up with all blogs take a lot of time. If only there were a way to comment on a post directly from my RSS feed monitor. That would be cool.

Take care. I'm still out here, lurking in the background.

Hee hee. Funny, when people fall off, I worry about them like they are family members or something. Glad you are still here. :D

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
