Weekly Sentence reminder, some news...


Hi you!!  I haven't smoked in a week =)!!  It hasn't been easy but it has been a whole week!  Yay me!!  I am using the patch and that has certainly made it easier.  I quit once in my 30's using the patch.  I picked up smoking two years later, though, and continued to smoke another seven years.  Oh, don't ever think just one won't hurt when you are a smoker who has quit.  It DOES!!  I tried Chantix (a smoking-cessation drug) a couple of months ago and I got so darn sick on it I couldn't continue.  Wish me well and if you are a praying person, I would appreciate your prayers!

What I really came on here for is to let you all know is that the deadline for the Weekly Sentence Game is in about four hours.  If you would like to still play the letters are JDATRP.  The deadline is 4PM EDT.   If you want to play click on the link below:

"Weekly Sentence" #23


Have a good rest of the day!!  Val =)

I'm back!... about the Weekly Sentence game...


The flood was stopped in my computer room and the phone is now working in my apartment.  It was a small disaster, but all is well now.  I will be posting the winner(s) of the "Weekly Sentence" game in the next day or two.  Perhaps today, even.  I don't even know who the judges have chosen.  I haven't gotten through all of my emails yet.    When I got back on I had about 500.  Please be patient.  Thanks, guys!!  Take care!!  Val who is happy to be back on her computer =)

Val's computer isn't working

Hi, this is Krissy, Val's sister.  I have some not so hot news to tell you.  Valerie will not be able to use her computer for a little while.  It could be a few days, or maybe a week or two.  Please hang on, don't abandon her, and wait till she gets back! 

She, of course, plans on continuing her Weekly Sentence With Val game, and all of her other entries, when she gets back.

Something crazy happened.  The guy upstairs put his air conditioner in wrong, and water came down and ruined the phone system in her whole house.  So she doesn't have phone power for her computer.  No phone, no computer, ugh.  She'll be back when it is fixed. 

It could be soon.

Take care, Krissy of Sometimes I Think
