Be Back Before Too Much Longer as...

.....we're terribly.......OH HELL!! What I meant to say is ...

PLUS....my feeble thinker is apparently all thunk out. That, AND....I broke down under the influence of 'medicinal' Single Malt Scotch & gave the Spellcheck Kitties an all expenses paid (also REALLY BARGAIN PRICED) long overdue vacation down South so they could enjoy the beach & get outta the rain for a bit. Boy, were THEY ever shocked. I can barely wait until they come back all eager to work!! Until I get motivated a bit, take care.

......rinnnnng......rinnnnng.....rinnnnnng....."Buenos dias, Jose's freight, animal aero transport, and discount vacation airline, Jose speaking. How may I help you?"

"....JOSE'S WHAT?!?!?!"

On Hiatus For a Bit Due To......

.... Mike having a little trouble with reading while

he awaits more eye operations.

Since he knows how much we worry

about his health, he has decided to

team with

some friends

in the meantime to concentrate more on his continuing quest to better the environment

by offering to sample the offerings of some

others in this growing movement to see if

their products measure up to standards.

Having noticed his keen interest in

the subject, another local entity

has also enlisted his help in the testing of a few of their fellow

competitor's products. Mike,

being the selfless environmentalist

he is, eagerly accepted the challenge.

While he's away we, the conscientious

staff that we are, will be continuing

our search for additional blogging

subjects to ensure an adequate supply

of material awaits his return. Until

then, be well & take care.

Blogging Star/Blogging 'Vacation'

Hi Folks, Chris at Red Hog Diary bestowed an honor on me recently! Thank you Red Hog. Chris has presented me with the Blogging Star Award, which is "for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity and others with their kind and thoughtful natures." Everyone knows more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition? Here's what to do if you receive this:
1) Proudly display the Blogging Star Award on your site along with a link to who gave it to you.
2) Mention that it originated at Skittle's Place so she can follow it's journey.
3) Pass it on to any 1 or 2 blogger(s) you think should have it.

This was hard for me, as I typically read about 30 personal blogs per day in addition to several political sites. After thinking it over for some time, and reading back posts on many of the sites, I settled on two personal blogs. The first is A Life Uncommon(Desiree) which has some of the best writing it's been my pleasure to read. The second is Salvageable(Ann) which is a very insightful and uplifting place to visit. Both of these folks have personal blogs that make my daily blog check so enjoyable. Desiree blogs less often than Ann, but it's so well composed that it's well worth the wait, and Ann is just a wonderful story teller and extremely caring woman. Thanks for the great posts ladies.


The second subject is a bit difficult to explain, so I'll simply tell you I'm taking a little vacation from the blog to get my mind 'back on track'. It doesn't involve anything serious, and not a health problem. I've just got a few things I need to sort out before I'll be able to conjure up any memories to post. Just too many things ganged up on my poor brain all at once. I'll be back as soon as I'm able to write as I feel I should, with as much thought and quality as possible. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you'll check in occasionally to see if I'm back. Thanks again for taking the time to read my posts, and for the kind comments from all. Until later, take care.
