Hi everyone I am so sorry I am not around here much. I do want to check in and let everyone know that I am alive and still kicking. I have been sick lately, with ear problems and the regular ailments that plague my life. I also have to find a new place to live. And I have been working hard, I have three columns that I run on examiner.com I keep up my other writing sites, I am doing editing work for a Greek psychologist, and I am ghostwriting, there never seems to be enough hours in a day to do the things that I have to do. So what are all my friends doing these days?

hey sweetie, its been awhile, I just don't seem to have enough hours in a day to do all that I want to do. I would also like to get a few days out, sometime, instead of always being here in front of the computer.

Wow. You're busy alright. I've been developing my website lately. I have to say, maintaining the update especially the news happening here in the philippines. I just wanna ask, do you earn good at examiner.com?

It is good to hear from you. I am sorry that you are having health problems. I thought that you had just found a new place to liver right before you disappeared from here. Is this another move then? I was working full time, at a salaried position that just kept growing in scope with out growing in compensation. I had foot surgery, then turned in my resignation there. I do a little bit of security work, staffing some fun events. I have done some free lance writing, but recently quit that. I intend to get some of my own work up and going again. I will work outside the home if the right job comes along. Please do drop by as you can. I know life gets very busy.

I hope then that you are feeling better too after your foot operation and that you get the kind of work that you want to do. That is always so important. No I stayed in the same house but I still want to leave if I can.

My flooded front yard - This is what my front yard looked like. Sad thing, it started raining again around 2 and didn't stop until around 7.
I have been wondering where you disappeared to. Sorry to hear that you have been sick. Also, sorry to hear that you have to find a new place to live, hopefully it will be easier to find a place than last time. Glad to hear that your keeping busy with your writing. Well, for starters we had to deal with a flood that happened each day of the 1st weekend of May. You probably heard about it in Tennessee. Our home didn't get any damage thank the Lord compared to other people. Our major problem is the drainage system next to my home collapsed on the 2nd day. So we have gravel, rocks of all sorts of sizes and logs in my back yard and a lot of my back yard is basically turned to mush because of it. Now, we are waiting on FEMA to help out since my city can't afford to fix the problem. We spent the first 2 weeks after the flood cleaning out the garage that flooded, and the mud off the porch were we put landscaping bricks around my porch to keep the water from coming into my house. Just been a huge mess to say the least. Still we did better than my neighbors across the street from me. They lost their air conditioning units and all the duct work has to be replaced. On top of that, I babysit for a few days each week for some extra spending money. That's about it for me.

well I am certainly glad that you are okay that is the main thing. I was worried about you I remembered you were in Tenn. I have a few online friends in Tenn. hey come by my articles if you have time and you like to read, pm and I will give you the details if you are interested. I don't know how often I can be here though, I will try to be here more often but it is really hard to be able to do everything. There just isn't enough time in the day.

I don't get online as often either. The babysitting keeps me busy, especially since I don't know what day I will be until I get a phone call. I will try my best to read your articles. I know how it is with not enough time in the day. After Friday, my time will become even shorter. Since that is the last day of school for the girls. I will be lucky to do what is needed and get enough sleep. Take Care.

the place I am living in is too cold in the winter and makes me sick, also it is changing landlords all of the time, and nobody fixes anything around here. I just need to get out and get a better place. I also applied for a low rental but I haven't heard a word one way or another yet.

Hi Stranger! I am so sorry to hear about you being sick. I hope you are feeling better. Good luck with your search for a new flat. when the last time we talked I said I was in love. Well it didn't work out with him. It was more attraction than real love. In the meantime I have found the love of my life.We get each other and what we feel is mutual. It's spring so I have been watching the NHL playoffs. Correction I have been avoiding the Habs- Flyers to give the Habs some luck. I hope everything works out. Take care.

Responding to old discussions if you haven't noticed Winterose, I'm trying to make up for being absent and although I know my friends here don't mind it's just my way of communicating with them again. I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure people like myself enjoy seeing you come by when you have time. Certainly when I came back I looked your username up, I think I posted a comment on your profile too. I really miss my friends and wished I had got to know people such as yourself much better. You'll be dearly missed but I understand. I luck forward to your visits as your very much respected by me. :)

Good to see that you are still around I look forward to seeing your posts on here, sorry that you haven't been feeling well. I think it is a thing we all are dealing with now. Glad that you are working on line and making some money. wish I could fnd something to do, if jsut to pass the time. I have not been here much lately, lots of us got into FaceBook and now we are harvesting crops and planning meals in CafeWorld and building cities. Not much to do outside the weather has been really bad for so long, hoping it will turn better soon. Like I said glad to see you are ok and hope you come back soon.
