*Note to my LiveJournal friends: Some of you may not be aware of what's been going on in my life as of late. Well, Randy and I have moved to Las Vegas; of course there were months of preparation that built up to the final act. So that's why I've been inactive on LJ for quite some time. I'm much more active on Facebook, and if you're interested in ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, bonnie_halfelvn! Your card may not arrive today ... and it's like a box of Cracker Jack (i.e., a little "surprise" inside)! *hugs* Love ya!

Hi ... do you remember me? I know I post WAY to infrequently here. I've been busy doing other projects and really haven't felt like I had anything interesting to say. I need to do better, I know, especially since I now have something to share. Forgive me for not doing a "cut;" I didn't want to hide it.

Okay, so I'm posting this publicly, not because I think most of you will necessarily be interested in my project, but mainly so that you all know I'm alive and well ... and this project has been consuming a lot of my free time! Also, for my mom who likes to know what her kids are doing! (Hi, Mom ( Read more... )

I don't want to get into a discussion here about the death penalty and whether you, my friends, support it or not. I simply wanted to post a link to the article which outlines the sentencing of the man who murdered my friend Gina nearly 23 years ago:

Wow - it's been a year and three days since I posted this about my friend from high school who was murdered in December 1985. I am thrilled to report that her suspected murdered has been found GUILTY! Next is sentencing (life or death). Pray that the right decision is made!

- D.

Note: typo in the article; it should read 23 years, not 33 years

I found this last week on youtube, and mainly wanted to share it with Dad, but others may find it interesting as well. A disastrous power surge in 1988 in Harford County, Maryland, lasted for more than 15 minutes when a professional tree trimmer cut a branch that subsequently fell onto 33kV power lines and shorted them out to 13kV lines below, ( Read more... )

Okay, my mom says I need to post something because she's tired of seeing my last one from March! It's just been an uneventful year, I guess. Spring was long, summer was short (and not hot enough for my liking), the fall has been wet, and now winter is just around the corner. Bleh ( Read more... )

I went to the dentist Friday afternoon for a routine cleaning ... came out with both upper wisdom teeth filled! My mouth is NOT amused!

Okay, I know I've been home a couple days now, but I'm still trying to get caught up ... on sleep! Having been through 3 time changes in the course of a week, I'm still having trouble getting up to speed! Plus I wanted to get the pictures ready to share first, which I did yesterday (and just tagged them this morning). I'll share a couple of them ( Read more... )
