    LOL - Oh no what I meant is redeeming by trying to stay away from the topic as much as possible (at least not my bringing it up.) BTW I saw your review for the AlphaSmart Neo. It looks VERY impressive!! I love techie stuff! Hugs, Marie

    Yes, I understand what you're saying. I see your governor all over the place doing interviews now. I guess when the election was over, she unleashed! I knew you would probably say something about the quote being hard to accomplish...maybe I should tell you "Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't say it mean." Is that better?

    Lynn, you are too funny! Thanks so much for dropping by my comment wall. Hoping all is well with you, and don't worry about your comment at all. I get into trouble myself (as you well know.) Trying to refrain from it now though in hopes of redeeming myself (blushing.) Hugs and have a good one! - Marie

    Cool. Got a new car after tons of money in my old one. Bright red. Was down to Kansas for my grandaughter's 14th birthday. This weekend to Omaha for my twin girls and my birthday then the dog on the 20th. Will have to change my profile to read 55 instead of 54! Are you surprised that I called it a bison instead of a buffalo? Most people don't know that. Candy

    Hi, Lynn. Sharing my most recent favorite inspiration with you:

    It's not getting what you want. It's wanting what you've got.

    Have a great weekend!!!

    Take care & Big Hugs ~ Marie

    Hi Lynn - Bless your heart. I am reading your "about me" where you tell us how you work with many types of mental illness. That sure takes a lot of patience, love, and empathy

    Lynn,
    Just scrolling down through your comments here prove what kind of presence you have on the women you connect with. I'm so happy that you are who you are and people 'get' you! That's why I feel comfortable here for the same reason. I had to come by and say Hi!. Out of pocket today with my dog having surgery, so I'm pretty beat myself. TTYS....

    Thanks for the invite and here's something. One of my mystery series has some action that takes place in Alaska! If you are interested, I have been posting the first in the series, chapter by chapter on www.authornation.com
    When you go there, my screen name is Angel4967 and you'll see the picture of me on the motorcycle. The story that I have been posting is called "Which Way To Die".
    Have a great weekend.
