karlaakins:
On December 30, 2009, I tried signing into my gmail account so that I could retrieve my google documents. I can’t describe the utter horror that came over me as I discovered that google had deleted my account.
It is gone. It doesn’t exist anymore.
And I have no idea why. No one has given me an explanation.
There is no one to talk to at Google. Their problem resolution system...

We turned on the TV for the first time in days, and this was the first thing we saw. It’s awful, and my heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims. Not feeling very festive, two hours before the new year begins.
Thought about you when I read the story, hoping you all were ok.
Peeps for you peeps
O little town of Bethlehem, which is just over on the other side of Allentown, Pennsylvania, from me, (not far from Nazareth) is having it’s annual two-day Peeps Fest. Peeps, those little yellow marshmallow chickens sold around Easter, are made in Bethlehem. For the last few years, they’ve had a giant Peeps chicken come down, like the ball in Times Square, to signal the start of the...
2009/2010
At first, when I started thinking about 2009 coming to an end, I thought “good riddance”. I’ve had to make all sorts of arrangements to make sure I have oxygen handy, I’ve been back and forth to the Lung Center at HUP in Philadelphia, I’ve had troubles getting up flights of stairs, or walking long distances. All that medical stuff, plus the economy, Iraq, Iran, a...
Watching it snow, big flakes that come with the warmer air. Jake was just out rolling around in it, making snow angels and giving it his best effort. I’m having a bowl of hot chili. Life is very good.
Goodbye, 2009.

My youngest grandson, 2 1/2 is very sick, my daughter is on her way to the dr with him again plus she is driving on the snow/ice is upset about the baby to begin with and is terrified of driving in the snow.
Thank you.

I just found out last night that the brain scan results came back for my little brother, who has been on Ritalin and various other ADD/ADHD/Asbergers medications for years and years now and it turns out that he doesn’t have any of those disorders at all! He has a brain injury! And you know what this means, right?!! He can be fixed! We’ve started his treatment and we’re already...

lovingleeinspace:
I did it. I graduated. Well, not technically, not yet but I definitely have a degree as of December 23, 2009. I passed all of my classes. Half of the reason I’ve taken so long to get this degree is because I didn’t know what to do with it. It’s sort of like a now what feeling. But despite that I am pretty damn proud of me. People in my life aren’t really supportive. I’m...

heisjealousforme:
He’s sixteen. And the hoodie was a Christmas present…he was…mad…haha. He sent me a text message after my mom got it back from me: “never wear my hoodie again”. Which is too bad. Because it was pretty much the world’s most comfortable hoodie.
Hoodie and jeans = every day of the winter required wear. And since my little company printed hoodies I had a few left over, the...
I wrote in my journal and called it a night.
theintuition:
No books, but mainly because I was falling asleep before I’d finished my entry. Haha. It’s a sunshine day! But I know it’s cold out there. Going to the library to set up my NetLibrary account giving me access to a lot more e-books and audio books. Is audiobooks one word or two?
Barnes & Noble has it as one word, Amazon.com - two. New media brings new language without a...

Mine’s not. He runs up the bill by saying the dog needs/should have, might get sick and die without all this expensive medicine and needs/should have/I need to take a look at some very expensive x-rays.
i'm allergic to sugar.
spontaneouslove:
not all sugar but the most important kind.
which, to me, is terrible and horrible.
i know in the big picture it isn’t important at all. it’s just sugar. so i can’t have coke and an apple. no big deal. but i am already on such a restrictive diet. i started out posting all the things i can’t eat. it’s shorter to post what i actually can. i think the hardest part of all of this,...
Mind Perusal
cartwheelsandpoprocks:
Recently, I’ve been dancing through this experiential trend of trust issues mixed with guilt and fear, and then soon after, each dance slowed down by this inner reminder of the truth of Love. And then I feel an exhilarating burst of joy. I can dance with the illusion, tripping over my own feet and blaming others, seeing others trip and blaming myself, or I can choose...
New Year's Eve goes a little something like this:
chaotique:
I show up, I feel mildly uncomfortable with my choice of outfit, I get mildly drunk, I have a mildly exciting time, the ball drops, I kiss someone random, I think about all the shitty things that happened that year, I get upset, I find a place to cry.
Despite all of that, New Year’s Eve continues to be a favorite of mine. I think it has something to do with hope: hope that things...

Thanks for all the feedback on my poster. I’m tweaking a few things, and playing around with fonts. Huge thanks to serpenskirt and gingerale for inspiring me to search for other fonts, and figure out how to download them and stick them into photoshop. This whole process is teaching me all kinds of things, and learning is a wonderful thing to be doing.

Plenty of Bull
I knew there was something distinctively different from the Angus burgers at McDonalds. Apart from overcooking the patty its actually a con in disguise which is quite normal coming from McDonalds.
Having grown up in the midwest where there are lots of beef farms, the most popular were always angus and polled hereford, and then charolais came around. There were other...

Any extra room in your heart?
At the end of this week, new rules go into effect for pet breeders in Pennsylvania and it’s expected that around 100 dealers will be shutting down. Sadly, they’ll probably “dispose” of a lot of their animals, but the pet shelters are being inundated with dogs, from recently born puppies to breeding parents. Many are purebreds, some are designer breeds. Many of the adults...
Driveway update
OK, so I got dressed for the 18 degree weather and went outside to see what the guys digging up my yard and the road are up to. This is something guys do. We have to do that. When there is construction going on, especially if it involves heavy machinery, we have to stop and watch. It’s a rule.
The whole side of the yard between my driveway and the road is gone and there’s a 6...

I think.. People don’t let go, or find it hard to let go, because they are unable to accept that the person that they love and whom they thought loved them back the same way, turns out to be like that. That it’s hard to accept that they didn’t fight to be with you, that they didn’t even try to salvage the situation, that they can just walk away and move on with life, when they...
Day two of the Lyric hearing aid
zendoc:
Hi folks. Well, whatitsliketodie, this is for you. Day two is better. I slept well with the hearing aid. Some discomfort this morning but not as bad as yesterday. I can turn it off at night with this magnet thingy so I couldn’t hear much out of my left ear, which is not a bad thing for sleeping. This morning I am going to shower with it for the first time. So far I’m diggin it but time...
