Okay, I’m no fan of Gray Davis, I’ll tell you that right now. I don’t hate him either. But I do hate the recall effort, because he was re-elected in a fair, honest election less than a year ago–after the sins he’s accused of committing. Clearly, the voters forgave his mistakes during the big energy [...]

Hi Lavonne,
This is very cool! I see where this works but it is still because the blog is put together with the right information in the right place to get the position. So, I really think that both your blogger and WebPosition do basically the same thing.
Thanks for letting me know [...]

How’s this–warm enough for ya?

Can someone please suggest a better color scheme for this site? I’m really hating all this green. I like the lighter green on the sidebars, but that apple green up top has got to go. Any suggestions for the color-challenged?

It’s rather long, but if you’re [...]

If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know several things about me:

I am overweight.
I can’t seem to lick the sugar/carb habit [pun intended].
I love yoga, but I can’t seem to make myself do it every day.
I have lots of problems–physical, emotional and financial.
I whine about these things incessantly.
Whenever the pain [...]

Jodie has a dream, and who am I to argue?

Al Franken speaks the truth, as usual.

If you or someone you care about suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome [CFS/CFIDS], Fibromyalgia or Multiple Chemical Sensitivities [MCS]… or any of a host of other chronic illnesses… I highly recommend reading the following explanation of The Four Phase Model of chronic illness, using a real patient case. I don’t have a link so [...]
