Today's Miracle Mind ?

I agree that there should be "equal time and complete stories" for gay and lesbian participants if such things are covered for other participants, such as their families, their struggles, their accomplishments, etc. In defense of "some stories not showing up", if it's an intentional omission, than shame on the broadcasters/media, but it's also a known fact that not EVERY participant is covered...some are barely even mentioned or covered in any way. If they did a story on each and every person, it would take a full two weeks of that kind of coverage and no time to show the events.

Oh, those are so different! I've never seen a bobble-head like that before and I never would have let something like that stay on a store shelf. What a neat purchase!

The rat hole, that sounds rather appropriate. I've stumbled into places like that myself and made the best of it only because it was only for one night, just as in your case. Any longer and I would have to insist on better accommodations even if it had to be elsewhere. The food must have been good because you tend to mention the food you had on the vacation, but you don't always use the words delectable and classy, so I think this might have been a better food day.

You are and have been in my prayers. Some very good friends here in the blogging world have made me aware of what's going on and have been giving updates here and there as any became known, so I've been rooting for you and praying for you all along. You just take care of yourself because that is the most important thing. I'll be here, as I am sure other will be, so don't you worry much about the blogging world...but know that we missed seeing you and look forward to seeing your posts as you feel up to posting anything.

Hmmmm, sex...hmmmm, I think I know that I remember knowing what that is! And, if you thought that last sentence was confusing, that's what the thought of sex does to me! Hey, I'm glad you're feeling better. You finally got some real sleep, you have your birds back, you're going out and enjoying dining and walking around, your routine of reading the paper and taking care of things is going on pretty much ok, you sound good in your writings, so I think you are doing just fine...on top of having sex. That is if you were on top!

Yeah! You found something you could really enjoy looking at and buying some stuff. I'll bet you loved the purchases you made, so I'm glad you made it to the Merchant Mall. Oh, I would have gladly eaten your share of Greek food. I don't like it all, but I love a lot of it and I would have done just fine. LOL Tucker's sounds really nice, by the way. A lot of B&B's around here only serve juice, tea, and coffee with a choice of muffins, Danish, or similar types of breakfast pastries. Tucker's sounds a lot more generous and it sounds pretty and cozy.

Happy Anniversary! Belated, yes, but I still want you to be happy, not just in celebration but all the time!

Wow, so you backtracked the whole thing? So, exactly how long did this trip take? I am so not familiar with your part of the world, I'm ashamed to say, that I am really fascinated and interested in the map, the pics you have been posting, and all the information pertaining to your trip that you have been sharing. It appears, according to the map, that you really covered quite a bit of ground, something that I would very much enjoy.

How disappointing when something is planned or a place is on the "must visit" list, only to find it isn't there or it doesn't work with the schedule. I've had that happen a million times...well, that's exaggerating a bit, but it has happened often...and I truly don't like it! The landscape looks so pretty there, but even the weather wouldn't fully cooperate. Well, I'd still be happy to just be away for a little while and I'd find a way to make the best of it, but I wouldn't be able to hide my disappointments either.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing them because I really enjoyed seeing them! I know you are still grieving for Molly and that is understandable, but your bunny is going to need some love and attention now, so I know you will be ok. By the way, the bunny is sure adorable. I had a big bunny a long, long time ago and I loved him so much. He was so good and he got along just fine with my dog...matter of fact, they often snuggled together for a nap. The shirt is cute...that guy of yours is truly wonderful and I am so happy for you, for both of you, really, because I believe you are as good for him as he is for you. That bandana? Very cute. Nice for the summer or for whenever you need to keep the hair out of the way. I used to wear bandana-type things in my hair or similar things when doing housework, washing the car, working in the yard, or just because it was a hot, sticky day. Nice post, I liked it all!

Congrats to the winners! And, I'm so proud of myself to have guessed the right answer, too! Too bad I'm always to late to actually get in on the games! If I ever do get caught up, which will be a miracle, I'll be right there at game time...and probably won't know the answers.

Oh, it's still a big deal for me when I'm tall enough to go on a "big people's" ride! You don't know how close I sometimes come to failing that requirement!

I think people have been busier than usual, it must be the time of year. Maybe soon there will be more time for more blogging by those people again. Even I find that I can only get to the computer late in the day, after other things are done, but it's late and I'm tired, so I can only devote so much time and then it's time to go to bed. That doesn't give much time for reading and writing, that's for sure.

This day sounds a lot better! I believe you really learned your lesson about checking the bottom of the carts, but, you know, sometimes it does take a mistake for us to learn. While others may not learn a thing, it proves you have what it takes because you did learn the lesson and you apply it with each and every customer now.

A hairy guy walking around a store with no shirt on? That sort of thing is absolutely not allowed around here. I didn't doubt it when you mentioned that he was drawing some attention from others in the store.

Good luck to your son. Driving is such an important thing in the growing up things in life, one of the major rungs on the ladder, but it also requires a lot of responsibility, practice, and patience. That pertains to your son, but also to you...which also includes a lot of faith in his abilities, yourself for what you have helped teach him in life about responsibilities and mature behavior, and in God for his safety as he contines to grow in into manhood.

I'm crying, but through my tears I can write this to you because I do extend my deepest sympathies because pets hold some of the most special parts of our hearts and I just know how much you miss Molly. But, I also know that you feel good that you were able to give her such a full and happy life and that God blessed you by letting Molly give you her love and devotion. She must be quite a hit where she is now because you helped to make her one special dog.
