Weekly Sentence #27 Winner, etc.


Good afternoon!   I hope you are enjoying the beginning of your Labor Day weekend!  I am.  I'm tired.  I stayed up late last night to watch the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird" on cable.  I absolutely had to watch it because it is one of my all-time favorite books.  The movie was not as good as the book, but what movie is?  I did really enjoy the movie, however, and highly recommend it if you are renting movies on this long Labor Day weekend.

Now on to the winner of  "Weekly Sentence with Val" #27!!  The letters this week are
RASRMQ.  We only had ten players this week.  Was it the letter "q" in the mix?  Was it because I forgot to give you all a reminder during the week?  I will try not to give you a hard letter again.  LOL  I thought it would be fun to see what you would do with it.  The judges and I thought the sentences you all came up with were fantastic!!  We would like to CONGRATULATE:


Dannelle of Odes to the Odd:

Right away spices ruined my quiche!

Congratulations again, Dannelle!  When you are able, please drop by her blog and say hello and congratulate her.

Your award for your sidebar is below, Dannelle.  Right click on award and make sure you save as .gif.

I would also like to thank all who submitted this week!!  Submissions are below:

  Remember, a sonogram reveals most quadruplets.
  (fisherkristina)
  Rivers adjoining streams rarely move quickly.
  (nanmm11)
  Revealing a sentence remains my quest.
  (makemarc)
  Required ammunition surrounded robotic member quarters.

I have a big favor to ask you guys...


I need you, my readers who have me on alerts, to do me a BIG favor.  I am not getting all of my comments recorded.  This has been going on since I have switched from "Val's Thoughts" to "There is a Season".  I realized why this is happening and this can be easily fixed.  If you get my entry alerts that say "Val's Thoughts" I need you to follow a couple of steps for me.  If you get your alert under "There is a Season" you can disregard this entry.  Thanks =)  If you get it under "Val's Thoughts", and you probably do if you have been reading me for more than three years, please do these two steps:

   1.  Go to your "Manage My Alerts" and delete Val's Thoughts entry alerts.
       You can do this by going to my journal front page and clicking "Alerts"
       at the top of my journal and then clicking "Entry Alert" and "Manage
       my Alerts".  The delete bottom is the farthest on the right, I believe.
     
    2.  Come back to my journal and click on "Alerts" and "Entry Alert" then "Ok".

Thanks, you guys!  I have gotten 27 comments in the last 20 hours and only 16 have been recorded.  I have kept quiet for so long.  I think I will fix it now.  Take care and you all have a good weekend!

a post braaaiin surgery photo!

Hi.  This is Krissy, Val's sister.  I thought I would write you a quick entry while Val is asleep!  I just found a photo looking through old files on my computer.  It's a photo of Val, when she was still in the hospital, right after her braaaaaiin surgery. It was July of 2004.  I wanted to show you all that, yes, indeed, she really was bald, LOL.
(see last entry:  How to get free HBO...

Actually, to make certain that I would not cross her boundaries and disrespect her, and also so that she wouldn't kill me, LOL, I decided to phone her before I posted this photo.  So I just called her a few seconds ago on the phone to ask her if I could put one of her "brain surgery, bald photos" in her blog.  She said yes! 

So without further ado, here is a photo of the very beautiful Valerie in July 2004, in her hospital bed.  Next to her is her very beautiful daughter, Chelsea.  Val's smile radiates everywhere.  Now, bald or no, doesn't she just light up the room?

               

How to get free HBO...


I have an entry posted in my other blog of funny answering machine messages.  This posting reminds me of a funny message my daughter left on my machine a little over four years ago.  We had just moved into my new apartment that I now live in.  I had just had my second brain surgery.  Chelsea had moved from Florida to come be with me and help out.  The message she left on the telephone went something like this: "Hi this is Chelsea.  My mom can't come to the phone right now.  She is resting from braaaaaaiiiiin surgery.  I can't come to the phone because I am helping her out.  Please leave your message after the beep."

You would be surprised how many people would call just to listen, laugh, and hang up.  One was the cable TV installer.  I called to have my cable installed and he called back to set up a time.  A short time after the call I got a few calls back with giggles and "ssshhhh's..." and I could tell the cable installer was calling his children to the phone to listen to the message and they were laughing.  It didn't bother me at all.  I was glad I was making others smile.

A couple days later when the installer came to my home and I opened the door he noticed I was bald.  Bald as bald could be.  His jaw dropped.  He was so sweet and very accommodating that day.  We even noticed that HBO was coming through and it wasn't in my package.  I would have had to pay more.  He told me not to worry about it and I could have it for free.  I had HBO for four years and didn't pay a penny for it.  I never watched a single show on it, but every time I channel-surfed and passed by HBO,  I giggled thinking that I got it free because of her message and his guilt feelings.  The HBO disappeared about three weeks ago.  I wonder if he left the cable company.  Thanks, cable man, even though I didn't watch anything, it was still  nice!!

P.S.  If you still intend to play the Weekly Sentece game your entry is due tomorrow (Friday) at 4 PM.  The letters are
TSRBOR

Something from my heart, a reminder...


"Don’t mind criticism.  If it is untrue, disregard it; if unfair,
keep from irritation; if it is ignorant, smile; if it is justified it is not
criticism, learn from it."
 
– author unknown


A very dear person sent me the above quote.  It is chock-full of wisdom.  I think our normal instinct, when we feel we are being attacked, is to strike back immediately.  When we strike back, especially on our blog, or in an email, we can never, ever take it back.  You can delete the entry in a blog, but the words are forever written and can be found by doing a search.  Please think before you write an entry or a comment.  Also, listen with your heart before you get upset.  The person may not have attacked you at all.  What was their intention?  It may have been another message entirely.  Most of us are civilized humans who don't want to hurt one another.  Most of us.  Please think.

The Weekly Sentence is due today at 4PM EDT.  The letters this week are
DWTCHS.  If you would like to play click on the link below:

"Weekly Sentence" #25!...

I have been updating my other journal, Joy In The Rain, almost daily, if you want a happy place to visit.  It if filled with jokes and fun and inspirational quotes.

I didn't mean to sound like a sermon above, I am not one to bring others down.  I have vowed to make this journal a place that is ONLY positive.  I just know that there are two sides to ever story - always.  Ask questions!  Sometimes we see things darkly.   Sometimes very darkly.  I always try to remember that the other person always thinks they are right, too.  Attacking the other person does nothing but hurt.  And it can hurt terribly.  I am saddened, so saddened by the anger, hate, and jealousy that I have seen in entries being passed off as "enlightenment".  We have our own minds.  We don't need to blindly agree with others vile-ness and anger because it appears to be in a pretty package.  Others can write anything they please, yes, but ignorance (by choosing not to ask questions) and hate gets us nowhere except hurting others feelings.
