New Guest Editor's Picks for 7/8 & More


Hi everybody. As posted in the Journals
Message Board
, the new Guest Editor's
Picks
are up on the Journals Main
Page.


Taking on the Guest
Editor
mantle this week is Dawn, whose blog is Carpe Diem
- Seize the Day.


As

Guest Editor, Dawn chose a theme (as is her option and her right as

Guest Editor), highlighting blogs that chronicle the lives of people

living with Invisible Disabilities, including Lupus
and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Here are some of her
top
picks:

That about wraps it up this week.
Don't forget to participate in John Scalzi's Weekend
Assignment
; "What's your guilty pleasure?" topics always
generate some good content, especially when it comes to
movies.

Oh, you want me to play, too? Let's see: My
favorite bad movie right now would have to be 'Road
House,'
starring Patrick Swayze. It's incredibly cheesy, it's
on TNT all the damn time and it has some pretty good
fight scenes.





Favorite quote: "Pain don't hurt."



It was even made into an off-off-Broadway musical this a couple of
years back.

Have a good weekend, everyone. --
Joe

Hi Joe, remember me?  I did a parody on your 'blogs are boring' entry.  I even did a parody on your 'boring is good' http://journals.aol.com/dornbrau/JLandBarGrill/entries/1128 (which you would have known about if I had been smart enough to leave the correct link in the first place), but I'm not here to do another parody.  I just wanted to tell you that I constantly use your favorite phrase myself.  In fact it helped me through labor and delivery of my 5 children.  Pain Don't Hurt!  You know what?  Thats the biggest pile of turds I ever saw!  Pain HURTS dang it, PAIN HURTS!  (I still say it doesn't all the time)

Dear Joe,
    Thank you for making Dawn the Guest Editor.  There are so many of us out here suffering every day with our "invisible disabilities".  We pour our hearts and souls into our blogs because there is not much else we can do, due to our disabilities.  Sometimes we just have to write it all down just to vent out all the pain we really feel.  It used to make me feel good inside just to see my counter go up.  Lol!  Now the darn thing is broken, isn't that my luck?  
    Oh, and I loved the most boring blog you linked us to, I got a really good laugh out of that one, and I live for those kinds of laughs.  They really keep me going, Joe!  I was also a little surprised at how young you appear.   ...Well, compared to my old self anyhow!  You certainly are a nice looking young man too.  Lol!  But don't worry about me, I am way too old for you.  Haha!  As if?  Have a good life Joe, and a wonderful career!
God Bless You,
Mariann

Dear Joe,
See?  I told you I get bored.  I did it twice.  Lol!  Naw, I don't even know how I did it.  I just did it.  Good old Lupus!  Ick!  Did I mention it makes you forgetful?  Haha!
Love,
Mariann
