Living in Love and Laughter

Blog confusion...

 I think I might be getting in over my head with this blog...not sure if I can keep trying to keep up with things here, LOL! I just can't seem to do the quick pop-in thing - it's either stay forever and catch myself up with Everything that Everyone is doing, or stay away because the responsibility is too much. I'm sure that says something about my character, but I'm not sure if its good!

 I guess I just haven't got the system figured out - is there a way to be advised when a friend posts a new entry on her blog? What's Trackback or Permanent Link? And if I comment somewhere, how do I know if someone has responded? I've quit commenting to others because I can never remember where I've blabbed! There has Got to be an easier way to do this.

 Thanks so much for all your concern for my grandma. I laughed when I realized that I'd put the name "Ornor" down. She's never been very maternal, and so refused to let us call her grandma. We were to call her "Elinor", and of course one of us got it wrong and it's been Ornor forever.

 She's doing okay. My brother moved down from Alaska and has been taking care of her for a few weeks now, bless the man. She is Very controlling and manipulative with him and showing signs of demetia. She's refusing to go to the doctors, and she won't give POA to my brother, though she says she wants nothing more than for him to be in charge. She also won't give Jeff money to buy the most basic necessities, so we are sending what we can, and we'll see how long we can all hold out. If we don't get POA and the doc decides she is unable to make her own decisions, she might need to go to a home, but we're doing all that we can to prevent that. I can't imagine how hard it is for Jeff to be doing this. My prayer is that it will bring both of them closer to the Lord.

I love blogging...but I just don't have the time to blog on a regular basis. Either that, or I just have nothing to say (don't tell that to my dh, he'll never believe me).

I find it hard to keep up with all my "friends", and I feel bad when I don't visit them and comment on their blogs.

But, you are right - how can we have conversation if we don't remember what we've asked or said to anyone? That's why I love Sonlight instant email notice on the threads I've posted on. If you figure out how to manage this blog thing better, let me know!

Honestly, I just got on here for the first time in a llloonngg time and clicked your name to see if you are blogging. I can't keep up either. If I do, it starts sucking up my time and energy .. and I start thinking about everything during the day in terms of blogging about it. It was taking away from real life. So, I'm not here much either. SL works better for me, too .. but I'm trying to limit time there as well. Can't figure it out .. don't have the time to try. SL, well, I've got that down (unless it all really changes) so I'm comfy there. This is too much for me right now. So ... "Risa" ... I'll see you in SL-land!

Blessings friend!

I was seeing how you were doing... There is a thing in your manager that you can click that will e-mail you everytime you get a comment on your blog. It is in the "comment settings" under "comment notification". Just click yes.
Hope all is well for you.

We were missionaries in Honduras for two years! I totally understand your having trouble keeping up with the blog. But you have INTERNET! We didn't even have electricity where we were until just before we came back. Ah, those were the days!
