Friday Blogplugs - 5/23

Hi folks,

Hope you guys are getting ready
for the long weekend. The office is empty but here I am, (blog)plugging
away :). By the way, next week you should be seeing
some changes in Journals, specifically, OpenId
support and more moods. The implication of OpenId
support is that folks on
Blogger do not have to get AOL/AIM screen names for leaving comments.
I will provide more details when this
happens.

* Indigo
informs
us
that Judith Heartsong's essay contest this month is about
"Animals" and urges us to participate. In another post, she is probing
the depths of her emotions while trying to understand the meaning
of life
.


*
Charlie
poses this hypothetical sports
match-up
question "Brooklyn Dodgers 1955 or Philadelphia
Phillies 1980".

* Sherry's
weight loss journey continues with a banana
split story
and she has a weight
loss
tip
.

* Bill's Wildcat
Wednesday
"
Frank's RavenCon Adventure, Episode III"
('tis a comic
strip).

* Krissy
recalls
a senior moment and mentions
that her husband John does not need a blood transfusion any time soon.
Anda little light
bulb humor
from her.


* Betty takes
us on a tour
of her new house. She is noticing that her memory
is not as sharp
as it used to be. Wonders if it is because
she turned
50.

* Laini gives
a thumbs up for Prince
Caspian
, the movie.


* Donna has some
pictures of life
on the farm
but does not see herself up to
it.

* John gives us the details
of his fall in the shower. Thankfully, he is feeling much
better.

* Paul gives
us a little history and background about the songs "Spirit
In The Sky
" and "Abraham,
Martin & John
". It makes for very interesting
reading.

* Beth
laments that the art
of letter writing
is vanishing. Now all you get in the mail
is junk and bills :) She uses Ted Kennedy's illness to highlight the
importance
of family
in such situations.


* Tawnya's
Wednesday
Hero
is Sgt.John F. Thomas & Sgt. Ronnie L. Shelley,
Sr.


* Paul's (this is a different
Paul) final
edition
of his list of 100 movies that he really
likes.

* Marie
writes a post about the Trinity.

* Karen is
new to JLand. Please stop
by
and say
hello.

* Bill is a
heating technology expert and has started a journal to educate
us
about heat losses in
homes.


Contests &
Trivia!

* Weekly
sentence with Val.
This week's letters are
TASBTD
.
The entries are  here.



Lights,
Camera
and
Action!

* Krissy's
JLand Photo
Shoot entries
for the subject "Say it with Color".

*
Marie's
AOL
Community Photo Challenge, entries for the subject
"Magic Hour", judged
and fun.
Judged
and fun
for the subject "Landscapes in Color"

I must not be doing it right because my Friday Blogplugs are never on this list.

"A different Paul."

I do not think a more apt description of me has ever been essayed,

Thanks for doing these blogplugs.  On the selfish side, it's nice to have a way to get more people to notice the things I do in my blog, but it is very cool to check out some of these other journals I'd never find otherwise.  Found some really interesting stuff this week!
