Still Playing Around

Yep, I'm still playing around with all the settings and formatting here. I've changed the comments settings to Allow All so folks don't need a Blogger account to comment. (Sorry about that, Bill.)

I've started a Blogspot 'Survivor: Guatemala Take 2' blog leaving links on my featured AOL one (which is still featured). This week may see the 2-Faced Baseball and my 'The Amazing Race 8: Family Edition' blogs coming to Blogspot as well. To be honest, as I get more used to it, I actually like the formatting and a lot of other things on Blogspot more than the AOL Journals product. However, as a ten year member who's usually positive about AOL, I would go back if they take the horrendous ad banners down.

I don't eat Quiznos; I've never been in their doors. I have ongoing battles with the Bank of America and treasure my Wachovia account. On principle, I just can't support any of the companies featured in those crass annoying ad banners on my AOL Journals. So, here I am.

Meanwhile, in life itself, it's shocking that Thanksgiving is coming up this Thursday! Yikes. I remember when I was a small child time moved so slow, especially as the holidays approached. Nowadays, I blink my eyes and another year is gone. The photo featured here is one I took of John's Meat Market in Scotch Plains, NJ. It's a fantastic place with some of the best and friendliest customer service I've ever seen. It is a bit costly, but the butchers take great care to make the customers happy. (Unlike AOL -- I had to get that in there!)

Oh, my knee! With the advent of chilly temperatures, my knee has been acting up some. No, it's not as bad as pre-surgery. I can tell it's a mix between the arthritis and residual operation/missing cartilage woes. I'm not in pain all the time or anything -- I just have to be careful. If I pivot, watch out! Ow! But I'll live. And, it's certainly better and more dependable than it was. Note: I will not be running any marathons. Additional Note: I never wanted to run any marathons anyway.

The bad thing about AOL J-Land spreading all about is that I have to gather the links to reconnect with all my friends. I've been a bit scarce this week, but I'll be seeking y'all out and getting my feeds going to visit your new bloghomes.
