 We are still under a flash-flood warning here. We have been since late yesterday evening. I am going to attempt to get this post ready with some spotlights that will appeal to each of you but I am in a lot of pain. I can't even sleep. Thank goodness for spell check. I just hope I don't forget to check the spelling.
I would normally hold this post for a few more hours but due to the storm, I am going to submit it early. I hope you will have the time to check out the spotlighted posts. Enjoy!   |  " Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant." ~Mitchell Kapor In part because my desktop computer of seven years and . . .   |

I just loved the photo of the duck you posted. With my luck, the duck would have flown off while I was shooting the photo. :)
Thanks for featuring them, Connie.
I ended up in the hospital just a few hours after I got this post up and running. Not fun at all.
I was reading the comments on your post and saw where you and Susan was chatting. I think you mentioned to her that it was new to you.
I think you did a wonderful job!
It is always good to see you. Wow! Is it Halloween already? Your icon reminds me of a Halloween costume.
You sure have a Full Post here. Today I have Grandson James for 12 hours. I'm waiting on Him now. I cannot be on line much Today but will get to as many as I can of all the Featured Post's.
Blessings, Friend!
I would give anything to have my Grand-kids for 12 hours. I miss them so much. It is hard when they live so far away. We miss out on all the important things in their life. Now that we are moving, there will be even more distance between us. According to the internet, Victoria will have a 15 hour drive to visit us. She now has a 9 hour drive.
Enjoy that grandbaby.
It has been a busy month, week, year, oh heck, life!
It was so good to see you on the post. How did your errands go?
I am feeling a little better today. I ended up in the hospital not long after I did this post up. I have been groggy ever since. My mind is clearer tonight and it is time to go to bed again.
I am a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints (Mormon) and the post spotlighted in this edition have nothing to do with Latter Day Saints (Mormon).
I try to stay away from Religion and Politics in the Today post. However, Rene is an amazing author and I just had to spotlight them.
I think I'm confused on this point. I know there are significant differences, but Mormons consider themselves Christians as well, don't they?
I never really understood why some religions think we are not Christian. But then I have a lot to learn. Thankfully I am always open to learning new things everyday. I love learning.
The only reason I'm making these comments is that your posts are some of the most widely read on Gather. I want this site to welcome all faiths, and I'm guessing you agree with me.
As a Buddhist, if this were the first post I ever read on Gather, I would probably wonder if this is a "Christian" site and also wonder whether I was welcome here.
Smile.
Hugs

The Today on Gather post has been posted for a long time. I am glad you came to check it out. It is just a way to keep the gather community connected with each other. One just never knows what I will be spotlighting tomorrow. :)
Have a wonderful night.
I'll have to check out ALL of the LINKS, and HIGHLIGHT your link to this in the Groups where the discussions are mentioned.
WE THANK YOU!
A flash flood alert for WV? I need to change my mind set that you are still in WV. :)
It is overcast, sprinkling and blowing a warm 60 degree breeze here, but I send you sunshine from above the clouds and hope you will feel better soon.
:-)
