What's a BLOG??

This post is for Wednesday, January 21, 2009!

I've been reading various blogs for quite a while. Some are really silly. Some are just plain dumb. There are people who - when they get older - are going to look back and be amazed that they actually did that! Some are so filled with hate that you just hope that the author is getting daily medications!

But here's the plus side . . . and boy is it a HUGE plus! Do you have a problem? Need advice? Need prayers? All ya have to do is get in touch with someone who has a popular blog. Virtually overnight, these cyber warriors can 'muster the troops' and have prayers, advice and emotional support that you would never believe!

This is the best use of 'surfing the net' that I've ever seen! And it is used as a true network. If one blog says something about a big problem . . . another blog will pick it up, then another and so on until it's all over the world.

Are you really tired of reading nothing but gloom and doom in your daily newspaper? Is television news giving you nightmares? Well, just dig around in a few blogs and you are bound to find some great places to spend some time.

I love the fact that you can say what you feel - share it with the world - and it's all FREE. You can see what people all over the world have to say on most any subject - and it's all FREE.

If you don't follow any particular blog regularly - you're missing out! It's like having your own private soap opera - except everything is real! Yes, that couple DID have four kids and then adopt six more - and they have time to blog about it! More fun than watching most gunk on TV! You'll be driving home from work and wonder how little Susie did on her math test today . . . no, not your daughter - the one on Susie's Mama's Blog!

So - get yourself a blog - link up with a few others who have similar interests - and your off and running in the cyber soap opera world of good news, good deeds and some of the best reading I've done in years!

And then you can celebrate these special holidays today!!


Squirrel Appreciation Day - Make sure you get out there and appreciate a squirrel today! Any of these certainly look worthy of appreciation! You might kind of watch the one with the banjo. Looks like maybe he saw "Deliverance" too many times!

Women's Healthy Weight Day - At least today doesn't have any fattening food to appreciate like most days do! And what's up with the pallet scale? Okay, I'm a little chubby - but that's over-kill!
National Hugging Day - It's said that hugs can cure what ails ya! I don't know about that - but I do know that they sure do feel good!
