I have been up since 3:30 this morning and gather has been down that whole time. Now that it's finally up I figured I'd better jump to post an article before it goes down again. I had read that it was down yesterday morning as well?
My ulcer is bothering me a lot today... and I will be going out to work for someone as well as run a few errands. Time to take some Zantac I suppose... gotta quit drinking Coca Cola and eating stuff with tomato sauce!
Well... I'm going to go do that because I'm uncomfortable. What's going on in your world? How's life treating you today?

My Ulcer is also playing up today and I haven't been eating or drinking anything that I shouldn't, it just seems to inflame for no reason now
Just enough old age aches and pains to let me know how lucky I am.
When I got to work (around 6:15) I noticed that the network here had been down for a while. I don't know if that was just local or something that could have affected Gather as well.
: (
Yvonne, sounds like we need to add you to the prayer chain!
Larry, gather was down at 3:30am when I got online until a bit after 7am.
Heather, I know what you mean about trying to KEEP a full bladder! I've had six pregnancies...
I just came back in after Googling my name....wow, I am famous...
somebody named Susanna is even using some of my "stuff" for her news magazine...
hate to hear about your ulcers,,,mine went away after I moved out of my mother's house////
Randee... if you Google my name so much data turns up that you could not read it all if you had six months to devote to it exclusively, LOL
Can we say proliferate?
Aye on Google's money, Ricky. I'd like a piece of that action myself!
So, what's going on in my world? Not a whole lot of anything unusual. Except for one thing: I received a gift from some anonymous person in Wisconsin. I know nobody from Wisconsin. Maybe this person will let me know who he or she is sometime in the near future. One thing is certain: whoever it is, they know my name and address.
But, the gift? Now, that's got me wondering...
Not so long ago, perhaps seventy moons into the past, I had posted this very important message. Since then we have had cadres of newbies and newborns enter this realm. So as a public service I'm put in the enviable position of rebroadcasting the original feed:
As a governing member of the FCC, I'm tempted to pull the plug on this network. Lately, I had received a bag full of complaints concerning this network and some of them are not pretty. They're written with splotchy brown ink on toilet papery stationery.
Some of these complaints concern plagiarism. Others concern repeats. And the most flagrant of all, the static. One housebound grandmother who spends her days viewing a few select soap operas on this network had sent me a nasty letter complaining that they had turned into test patterns. She was so perturbed she yanked her computer from its wall and flung it out the window. And, she resides on the sixty third floor of The Iron Will Building in lovely Juneau, Alaska. A guy on the ground got hit on the head with her Dell and know he thinks he's The Farmer on the Dell. He was forced to relocate to Delaware.
As far as repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats I, being the watchdog of programming, allow them. For the producers of the hit shows, there's some serious money to be made by putting their content into syndication. Besides, for the viewers who missed the first showing, it's a service to them. And an unselfish service to the country and to the entire galaxy.
But I do not take lightly the plight of plagiarism. As a member of the governing body of the FCC I will impose heavy fines on those who practice plagiarism. I will even issue arrest warrants.
If I find any credibility to the allegations of plagiarism I will consider shutting down this network until I weed out those responsible and suspend their library cards and ban them for life from Barnes and Noble.
And the issue of static. For those who are creating it, knock it off.. How would you like to be a regular viewer of a fine show and then, poof, it turns into a test pattern. You'd get a little testy, now wouldn't you?
And, this is a rerun, last shown on CNN in black and white, a glitch (one of the camera men is color-blind). I had received another bag of mail condemning the monochromatic showing of this very important ANNOUNCEMENT from the offices of the FCC. I had ordered its reshowing, this time in TechniColor.
Carry on, you genius blogging people!
LaRue, I have the book South Beach Diet, but never read it. I'm not much of a diet doer. Being a creature of habit is killing me though!
Cute, Ricky. You're full of answers, huh? LOL
As for me I am working as usual! M-F 8-5 no weekends no holidays.
My holidays were very nice - just being with family was so nice.
i'm glad my boys sleep in when there isn't school.
I hope all of you enjoyed your christmas!
I'm still working on my cold.
I hope all of you guys feel better, too!
Jim, did you OPEN the gift? Or are you afraid it's a bomb? Perhaps you should have it checked out???
Lisa, you know how it is when you have kids... you defer your needs in favor of theirs. I don't want to inconvenience the family by potentially being admitted for further testing that may prove fruitless. I will make a new appointment with my doc though.
; )
JoAnne, you can usually have your password sent to you via email... if it's the password to your computer, that can be reset from the administrator account, which itself quite often has no password... (on home computers, anyway...)
Debbie, I have acid reflux, too. I know I need to get some treatment. I'll call my doc to make an appointment today, as soon as they're open. Yes... we are early risers, eh? But I love to see both the sunrise and the sunset every day. My two favorite times of day!
