Like I said the last time I wrote, my plan was to write you tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day, while at HSM's house. Well, her computer is down. Something is wrong with her Internet Explorer 7. She's been working on her computer for a couple of days trying to fix it, but it's still not right. So, thanks to the kindness of TWG, here I am.
One of the downsides to not having the ability to post my own blog from my own house is that when I have notes filled with material to share with you, well, sometimes I misplace some of them. And that's happened again. Oh well.
Here are a few of the websites I haven't misplaced:
www.swapadvd.com
www.myloveforyou.typepad.com
connectedtv.yahoo.com
www.wolframalpha.com
wave.google.com
Hope you find them interesting.
I am wishing you a happy Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. Remember though, each day is a day to be thankful for our blessings, not just the last Thursday of November.
Be good and be careful, take care, stay strong.
Hugs, Tawny

Imagine My Surprise!
Truly, imagine my surprise when I found an empty computer space at the library this morning! Every time I come in here with the intent of writing to you, well, all the spots are taken. Perhaps it's the crappy weather this morning that has everyone home. I don't know and I don't care, I'm just thrilled to pieces to be sitting here at the keyboard!
Remember me suggesting a book to you, Pain Free by Pete Egoscue? Well, the library called me yesterday to say that their copy, the one I'd reserved weeks ago, had finally been returned and was waiting for me. Hurray! I picked it up this morning. Okay, the book is for chronic pain sufferers and I'm not chronic, but I have way more than I'd like and I'm looking to get rid of at least some of it. I'll let you know how the book goes for me. And if you've read it, or are using it, let me know how it's working for you. And remember, I have a new email address at yahoo. I'd put it down here but, well, I can't remember it. Maybe I need something for lousy memory, too (smile). Anyway, it's on the contact page of my website (www.tawnyford.com).
Any snow where you're at yet? None here so far. In fact, temperatures are mild, between 40 and 50 nearly every day. And two weekends ago, get this! It was close to 70! I went to Walled Lake, Michigan, a small natural lakeside community maybe 20 minutes from my house. Once upon a time Walled Lake was a summer resort community, now people live there year round. Anyway, it was so warm and sunny I sat down by the lake for a good four hours. And I got a sunburn in November in Michigan!!!
Do you like pomegranates? I LOVE them! Costco has them by the case, six huge (the size of grapefruits!) for $12-and-some-change. I'm on my second case. Thing is--and it would happen anyway because the juice is the kind that stains, but it's happening even more so because I'm eating two a day--my fingers, particularly around my fingernails, are a wierd sort of red color. I scrub and scrub them, even with lemon juice, but they're still wierd looking. Since I'm not about to lay off the pomegranates I guess it's just something I have to live with until Costco stops carrying them this season (smile). If you've never eaten one get thee to Costco, or Sams Club, or anyplace that sells them. The big ones are the best.
I have a list of websites sitting on my desk in my office that I want to share with you. Don't you know I finally scored a computer and I forgot and left them home. Oh well. On Thanksgiving Day I'll be having dinner at HSM's house, she has a computer, and I'll try to remember to bring my list so I can share them with you then.
Speaking of HSM, did I tell you her #1 Son made the honor society at his college? They are so proud of him!
And they adopted a kitten the day before yesterday! A little fiery red and white tabby female no bigger than minute and weighing maybe 3 ounces of air (smile). They named her Aidan, Celtic for fiery. HSM's husband, ABM, called home and told her there was this teensy stray kitten sitting at the back door of the body shop....a few minutes later HSM and #2 Son were on their way to ABM's work to bring that bay home. Aidan joins Brodie, their puppy.
Well, that's about it for this morning. The librarian says, even though I have a good 35 minutes left on the computer (they give you an hour at a time, you can use up to 7 hours a day), that I have to sign off because they're starting a computer class in here in five minutes. Okay, I'm outta here.
You be good and be careful, take care, stay strong and don't let all this crazy stuff happening in the world get to you. It's going to be okay.
hugs, Tawny

Remember me?
Okay, I'm starting again. I had a bunch of stuff written here and then all of a sudden it disappeared on me. Kind of discouraging. Oh well.
I've been on the miss tip writing-wise because my new internet access appliance (I bought another webtv) is not compliant with this blogging site. It's perfect for everything else I want to do--surf the internet, shop, send + receive emails--I just can't post here. My friend, TWG, always offers to post what I write but I hate bothering people, you know? And I've been a little leery of using the library computer.
Why am I leery of the library computers? Swine flu. Okay, I'm not afraid I'll catch it. I've asked God to keep me safe from it. But I think I have a responsibility to not act foolish after asking for His protection. Like, say I asked God to keep me safe when I crossed the street, yet I continually dart out into oncoming traffic. See what I mean? That would be foolish.
I keep disinfectant wipes under the seat of my truck and I use them all the time when I'm out and about. I keep my hands away from my face, then wipe them when I get back to the truck. I think we all have a responsibility to do the best we can to stay healthy.
Are you going to get the swine flu shot? I'm not. I don't get the annual flu shot either. Call me paranoid if you want, I don't care. I don't trust the shots, but that's just me.
Weatherwise, how is it going where you live? Here it's been interesting. We had lots of rain in October. Wet Falls suck. Now it's cold for a few days, then it warms up. The grass is still green and still needs an occasional mowing. And, while there are many leaves on the ground, there are just as many still in the trees. I wonder if they'll all be on the ground by the time the first snow flies? That happened one year and it was wierd.
HSM told me about a book she's heard good things about, Pain Free by Pete Egoscue. It's supposed to be a great help for people suffering from chronic pain who don't want to go the pill or surgical route. I'm going to order a copy. Not that I have chronic pain, I don't, but I have some and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it all went away (smile).
Well, that's it for today. The clock on the computer says my minutes are dwindling away.
You be good and be careful, take care, stay strong. And let me hear from you. I miss you.
hugs, Tawny
