Last Post of The Year 2007

Vacation:

Going on vacation for a couple of weeks...hoping to return on the 1st of the New Year, and this will be the last post for the year. Please feel free to read the older posts, and all comments are welcomed. Negative or positive. Doesn't matter. Just try to keep the language clean and be respectful. I look forward to adding more thought provoking type entries in 2008, with some fun or informative stuff also.

Housecleaning:

I started working on updating the blog software to this site and still have some work to do, such as modifying the design for some pages, and adding back the "recent comments" column. I am not a techie. I repeat: I am not a techie...lol, but I am figuring things out.

I will clean up some of the YouTube videos which may no longer be available. It takes time to go through those posts.

Expired audio links I will only re-upload upon request, as they expire every 60 days if there is no activity, and most audio links were added in many of the earlier posts.

Will add unmoderated comments, once everything else is done first, and a spam filter is installed.

Take the typing test if you don't type for a living. It's fun to try it at least once.

Thanks:

Thanks to those who took the time to respond to the posts on this site. They all get read, but not commented on, especially if they are personal attacks. But it's cool in a non-cool sort of way. Thanks to those who sent video links or article links. As always, your thoughts are appreciated. We are not monolithic.

Lastly:

There is a poem called 'My First Christmas in Heaven' left for those who lost a loved one this year. Follow the jump.
