100 Things about ME

1 Kathy is my real name, it is not short for anything.

2 Don't know what I will do with them all, but I have started collecting my name on tags and siggys (like you see on the bottom of my emails)

3 Love BBQ potato chips.

4 Can't spell. I even took a class in college on spelling. It didn't help.

5 My math is worse than my spelling.

6 Got online for the first time this past August.

7 Used to be a red head.

8 I drive a Mustang. 

9 You won't catch me naming my animals cutesy names, I prefer "human" names for my critters.

10 I love milk. Could drink gallons of it.

11 Don't mind going to the movies by myself. I actually enjoy it.

12 The church I go to has about 250 members. I am the only single in my age range there.

13 I LOVE to read. You can never have too many books in your house.

14 Because of my depression (bipolar) I am not able to work right now.

15 I have had my appendix taken out.

16 Gall Bladder is gone too.

17 Though done in several surgeries I have had a complete hysterectomy.

18 Hated school. Loved college. I could go to college forever if it weren't for the money.

19 I have my red belt in American Freestyle Karate.

20 When I was taking karate I would compete in tournaments. Even won at times.

21 I have just the one brother.

22 I love Mountain Dew.

23 Not supposed to drink anything with caffeine.

24 Would rather be shot than drink coffee. That is just some nasty stuff.

25 Once drove 9 hours by myself to visit a friend in another state.

26 I have been to Disney World once back in the mid 1980s.

27 Campbell's soup is the only brand of soup I will eat.

28 Favorite meal: grilled cheese (2 slices of cheese) and tomato soup.

29 Hand made cards is my thing. Love to do it. I am still learning and experimenting in this area.

30 Had my first kiss under a tree at the end of the street thatI now live on.

31 I still have the dress that I wore to my 1st school dance. Don't ask if I can wear it. That was like 8th or 9th grade.

32 Hate housework.

33 I live in jeans and t-shirts.

34 Have had surgery on both feet (at different times).

35 Accepted Christ into my life when I was a little kid. It didn't really "hit" me until I was a teen ager though.

36 Watch 1 soap opera -- Passions. It is a weird one with witches and evil.

37 Marvin the Martian is my man. In 2nd would be Pinky from Pinky and the Brain.

38 Love graveyards.

39 Started scrapbooking about a year and a half ago.

40 Won't miss an episode of Trading Spaces.

41 Wish I could find some kind of job I could do from home.

42 Can't watch Animal Cops and shows like it. It gets to me too much to see animals abused in such ways.

43 If I could (don't make fun of me) I would pick up every dead animal I see beside the road and bury it somewhere. I don't. But it kills me to see something by the side of the road (or in the road).

44 Sadie is the 3rd cat I have picked up off the side of the road. My parents have the 1st -- Sara. Then 2nd one -- Elmer -- I had to have put to sleep after a couple of weeks, he was just too sick.

45 I have had only 1 wreck since I started driving.

46 Only 1 speeding ticket.

47 I am not as dependable as I used to be (think it has something to do with my illness) so I try not to say that I will do something. I don't want to be the person that no one wants to ask because I say that I will and then never come through. I only say yes when I am really sure that I can/will do it.

48 I love that new candy bar Smores.

49 Cold pizza for breakfast. yumm

50 I would love to have a lizard or two. But I won't. They are too hard to take care of.

51 Until I took Drivers Ed in school I had never driven a car.

52 Moved out from home when I was 24 years old. And have never moved back.

53 Almost got arrested once.

54 When I was a teen ager I was on the church league Bible quiz team. Never made it to nationals though.

55 Love the group 3 Doors Down.

56 Bay City Rollers was "the" band for me when I was a teen.

57 Although I have never been married I think the "idea" marriage would be that we both have our own houses and we take turns being together at each house on weekends. Yea, liveapart during the week. Well....you could sleep over some if you wanted to.

58 Sweettarts.

59 I would love to have a black Great Dane named Daisy.

60 Daisy is my very favorite flower. White daisies, not the colored ones.

61 My mouse pad has a kitten on it.

62 There is a beanie baby reindeer on top of my monitor.

63 I have an apple pie scented candle on my desk.

64 Sort of, kind of, collect those empty nothing book things. I have no idea why. They are just cool. I do write in some of them. Others I hate to mess up.

65 Hated school so bad you had to pick me up and put me on the school bus.

66 Was super skinny until I was about 30.

67 Still wonder if I put Ashley to sleep too soon. Maybe she could/should have lived longer.

68 The last time my grandmother was in the hospital I told my mom that I would go visit her the next day. She died that night. I will never forgive myself for that.

69 Bounced 1 check in my lifetime. I was switching banks and got confused or something and a check bounced.

70 I have visioned 2 places for a dream wedding. The first in a field of daisies. The 2nd is on the beach at sunrise.

71 Fell asleep on the beach once. The sunburn still hurts to think about.

72 For the family reunion one year I made all my aunts/uncles this little box with a picture of them all on the top of it.

73 The church I attend is Southern Baptist.

74 I would rather have chips than candy bars.

75 If I want something sweet to eat I would rather donuts, cake or something like that over candy.

76 My computer is in the same room as the cat litter box.

77 Yeah, I got some strands of gray hair. Not too many though.

78 I would love to have a mural painted on my bedroom wall. It would be of a field of daisies.

79 Didn't decorate for Christmas the past couple of years. Shhhh don't tell anyone.

80 When mom was pregnant the first time my dad said it would be a girl. He picked out a girls name. Would not even discuss a boys name. Oops....a boy popped out.

81 Dad was at home asleep when my brother and I were born.

82 My brother is 3 years older than me.

83 I like grape soda. (just like radar in m*a*s*h)

84 Never have smoked a cigarette. Not even 1 puff.

85 Can't imagine living in a house without a pet of some kind.

86 Never had any alcohol until I was in my mid twenties. Never really cared for it. Haven't had any in forever.

87 I LOVE the old "b" movies. The horror ones with the big bugs, aliens from outer space....Attack of the Killer Tomatoes....

88 I have "fired" several doctors over the years.

89 I was a good kid. I was always where I would say I would be. Come home when I was told to. If I was going to be late or go somewhere else I would call home first.

90 I won't let anyone smoke in my car. You can smoke in my house but not my car.

91 I am trying to recover from being a pack-rat. It is so hard. My parents were (and still are) very good teachers at this skill.

92 I wear the same necklace all the time.

93 I wear my grandmothers wedding band -- on my right hand along with another ring. I don't want to get it resized, I want to keep it just as granny wore it.

94 Loved the old Batman tv show. The one that had words pop up on the screen when they were fighting.

95 I have a thing for ink pens. At home I only use the "wacky" ones. They have faces on the tops, feathers, flowers, etc....

96 Cheeze-its. yumm

97 I have always wanted to visit Scotland.

98 I love to read about serial killers.

99 I like hearing about mysterious (unsolved) things or places, such as Easter Island, haunted houses.

100 I hate my middle name.

Still painting?

It ONLY took 2 days to prime the living room.  Why 2days?  Well, the primer didn't smell bad but it did put out fumes!  My dad got really dizzy the first day from the fumes so we had to quit.  The next day I got really sick on my stomach so I had to quit but dad went ahead and finished priming the room.

I decided to wait on priming the hallway until after we paint the living room.  That would give me a break and hopefully I will start feeling better.  I also think that it would help to see some color go up in the living room.  I would feel like I had actually accomplished something.

My brother let his daughter G come and spend Friday night and Saturday night with the grandparents.  Mom didn't feel so good so after we quit working on the living room I got cleaned up and took G out to eat and to a movie.  We went to see "Welcome To Mooseport".  It is a really funny movie.  I would recommed it.

I have noticed that quite a few journals have been doing the "100 things about me" thing.  I guess I could jump on the wagon and see what I can come up with.  But I don't know if there are 100 things about me to tell.  And if there were do you really want to read them?  Let me know if I should give it a try.

Also, if anyone knows a good way to put a left margin when you are using a background I wish you would tell me.

 

I AM MAD AND YES I AM YELLING THIS

If you are reading this at my old journal click here to go to the beta side so you can read the entire entry.

I AM SO @#*&+ MAD THAT I HAVE TO SCREAM!!!!!! WHY? BECAUSE OF THAT @#$^%)(  VET DR. FOX (not my beloved Dr. B).

Today I could tell that Sadie didn't feel good.  She was supposed to go tomorrow to have her stiches out but I just knew she was sick so I took her in today.  Dr. B wasn't there so I agreed to see Dr Mac.  Sadie was running a bit of a fever (can't tell you how high it was because I couldn't get a straight answer at what is normal for a cat.  I kept asking what normal was and Dr Mac would say "up to 102.something Sadie was like 101.6.  so she has a fever but it is still lower than the 102.whatever)

So Sadie gets a round of antibotics, some nose drops because her nose had started running.  I remarked about how skinny she still is and that the past few days I could her stomach girggleing.  "Lets test for worms" "But when I first found her DR FOX tested her that's why I didn't have her tested right before her surgery" "No, he de-wormed her but didn't test her for worms." "What about my other cat Dallas? Could she pick them up somehow?" "Could have, bring in a stool sample for us to test."

WHY DIDN'T DR FOX TEST HER FOR WORMS INSTEAD OF JUST DE-WORMING (WHICH DIDN'T WORK) HER?  SADIE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT ALL OVER WITH BEFORE I EVER BROUGHT HER HOME AND I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DALLAS (WHO IS 18 YRS OLD) GETTING ANY WORMS.

Now not only is Sadie sick we are having to deal with worms (that could be thrown up or pooped out) and the fact that Dallas may have them.

Sadie feels so bad.  She is a kitten so you can tell when the activity level falls off that something ain't right.

 

This and That but NOT the other

Hello I am still in the land of the living.  I have been letting my "real" life interfer with my "computer" life.  I am so sorry Gregg that I let that happen.  I know that YOU would never do that.

I went Saturday and got paint and primer so I could paint my living room and hallway.  Can't wait to get started. And if you believe that!  I really hate to pick paint from a little paint chip but I did.  I held all these colors up to my curtins to see what might match (as I don't want to have to buy new curtins).  I thought I had found just the right color but when I saw it in the can......I am not so sure anymore.  We well soon find out.  Tomorrow I am going to prime the rooms and paint Friday. 

Yeah, I know I could do it all in one day but my dad is helping me and if I did it all in one day he would push to get it done in like a hour or something. When I painted my kitchen he helped and before one coat could really dry he was putting on the next coat.  I want to take my time and do it right.  Who knows after he leaves tomorrow I may start to put the color on the walls.

Dallas is starting to tolerate Sadie a little better.  She (Dallas) actually licked Sadie on the head BEFORE she raised her paw and slapped her!  And today Sadie put her butt in Dallas' face and Dallas just sat there.  WOO HOO

 This graphic has nothing to do with this entry.  I have been trying to wait until I had a hair story to use it but I just don't have any stories yet.

I have a question for anyone who thinks they have an answer.  Even at my age I refer to other females in my age range as girls, and the older women as well, women.  I am confused as to when I should stop using the word "girls".  Anyhow in the paper last week there was a story about a "17 year old girl" and a "20 year oldwoman."  So my question is when do you stop refering to females as girls and start calling them women?  I realise that if we were talking about males you would stop the "boy" at about what 13?  Men are so petty about that for some reason.

Once again I will ask how do you like this background?  Did I pick the right color for the text?  I really like using backgrounds and I know that I still have a long way to get them down just right so hang in there with me until I get it, ok?

This is an old entry from another journal of mine

My favorite place

One of my favorite places is...are you sitting down?  I love to hang out in graveyards.  Ok, I know that you are thinking I am some sort of  crazy person.  And hey, I may very well be crazy.  But listen to what I have to say THEN make up your mind.

We have this really old graveyard here in town and I used to go and read the gravestones.  It is really very interesting.  There is a whole section of graves of little kids that all died at about the same age during one year.  It must have been a deadly flu outbreak or something.  The older the stones the more you could tell about the person.  You can tell if they had money--the writing cost per word then, so the more money you had the more you could put on a grave marker.  There is so much that can be learned from cemetaries.

Anyway, when I was just reading my way through the graveyard I discovered something.  And THIS is why I love cemetaries.  It is quite in a graveyard.  Even if other people are there it's like they will be whispering as if they were in church or something.  If you have had really bad day and want to cry, go stand by someone's grave and cry.  If anyone sees you they won't come up and ask what is wrong.  They just assume you are crying over whoever is buried there.  Also some places even have benches where you can sit and be alone.

So class, what have we learned?  Gravestone reading can be fun and educational.  But as for MY purposes, the cemetary is quite, you can cry if you wish without anyone wanting to know what is wrong, and it is a good place to just be alone with your thoughts.

Am I crazy?  I don't think so.  Some people have but when I explained it to them, they were like "yeah, I can understand that".

Graveyards spooky?  Not really.  Do you really believe something is going to come up from the ground and grab you?  I DON'T recommend hanging out in one at night alone because there are some LIVE nuts that could create problems for you.

The spooky's time I have had in a graveyard was at night (no, I wasn't alone, and my boyfriend with me).  The place is at the end of a dead end street and surrounded by trees on 3 1/2 sides.  What you couldn't tell is that at night (in the winter time especially) if you looked out towards one area of trees you could see the headlight of a train that was going by on the other side of the trees and across the road.  Seeing the light and not realizing it was a train at first was a little spooky.  But when you heard the train whistle it was just down right erie.

My nieces.

If you are reading this at my old journal click here to go to the beta one so you can read the whole entry.

Got a picture of Sadie for you.  She looks kinda of sad in the picture but believe  me  she was anything but when the picture was taken.  Her hair is the softest.

  I took my Aunt E to get her hair permed Tuesday.  I am really glad we got her to give up driving and while I was happy to take her Tuesday I HATED killing the 2 1/2 hours it took to get her hair done.  That was also the day Sadie was operated on and my mind was on her.  But we all survived so I guess the day went ok.

I said once something about how my oldest niece turned out and that it was her parents fault.  I know that you can't blame parents for their kids actions when they get older, but you don't realise how my brother and sister-in-law raised their kids.


When the kids started going to school no one helped with their homework.  "They have to be responsible for doing it themselves."  You know how you should listen to your child read when they are first learning how?  Well not at my brothers.  They would ask the kids if they read their homework, if the answer was yes then they would sign off on it.  Two of the 3 failed 1 or 2 grades in school.  When it was suggested that N go to summer school my sister-in-law said it wasn't worth the time to drive and pick her up everyday for the few hours she would be there. (Grandma offered to do it but was turned down.)  And besides "the school can't fail them but twice and then they have to pass them."

My youngest niece was born with one kidney.  Because of that (I guess) she was having trouble with her blood pressure.  Now you have to remember she is like 8 or 9 years old, but she has to remember to take her medicine by herself.  It is her responsiblity.

I guess she was taking it for awhile but it wasn't doing anything for her blood pressure so mom and dad told her to quit taking it.  One day they had to take her to the emergency room.  I asked brother dear why did she stop taking her meds.  "They weren't doing her any good."  Well duh.  They had to have been doing something because she wasn't rushed to the ER while she was on them.  Did they call the doctor to tell him her blood pressure was staying high? No.

I could go on for days about how my nieces were raised but I won't I think you get the idea.  During most of their upbringing my sister-in-law wouldn't let anyone on this side of the family see them (probably didn't want us to know how bad at being parents they were.)

So, when I say that some of what my nieces do now you can blame on their parents this is what I am talking about.  When they get older they may be able to "overcome" their upbringing but right now they are just behaving the way they learned and it is really sad.

 

Sadie's home

I picked Sadie up this morning from the vet. Everyone there kept telling me how sweet she is! She has won all their hearts!

One of the guys that works there asked me if she always meows like that. Meows? Sadie has meowed maybe 2 or 3 times since I found her. Then she started making this noise she makes when she breathes. The tech said that when Sadie was waking up after the surgery they all heard what they thought was a duck quacking in the room. No duck just Sadie. I had never thought of the noise she makes as sounding like a duck, but now that it has been mentioned I can hear it.

  Dr B thinks the noise Sadie makes may have came   from    the infection she had. He did check her out and   found nothing. But I think just him checking everything out must of done something because she doesn't sound as bad as she used to.

   I know the background on this entry will be a little dark      and maybe distracting but I wanted to give it a shot.

Bits and Pieces

It was so hard to leave my little Sadie at the vet this morning.  I went to see her this afternoon and she is doing fine.  She was still sleepy but I think she was glad to see me.  I know that I was glad to see her.  Can't wait till I can bring her home tomorrow.

Today I will tell you things about me that you don't know.  Maybe you don't want to know, but here goes:

I prefer to drink milk with ice in it. 

I love cold pizza and milk for breakfast.

I quit high school.

I got my GED and 2 (count 'em one, two) associate degrees from the local community college.

Love animals. (you didn't already know that did you?)

I love the show Trading Spaces.  Got the hots for thier carpenter Ty.

I took karate for 3 years when I was in my 20's.  Got all the way to my red belt.  (only brown and black left to go)

Had my heart broken.  I should have seen it coming.  I should not have let it happen.

I am too old, but I still watch cartoons.  Watching cartoons is my stress releaver.  (I discovered this soon after 9-11)

Love books.  You can NEVER have too many books.  I enjoy horror, murder/mysteries, true crime, and poetry.  Can't stand romance novels.

I have worked 1st and 2nd shifts.  Prefer 2nd.

Sadie

I took Sadie to see Dr B this morning to get her nails trimmed (she still won't let me do it) and see if she is ready to be spayed.

Good news! She is up to a whopping 4 pounds!! Woo Hoo! (For those of you that may not know the story of Sadie click here, and here, and lastly here.)

She got her 1st rabies shot today and Dr B says she's good to go for the surgery. Because of the way Sadie sounds when she breathes he will put a tube down her throat instead of using a mask for the surgery. I am a little worried about her going under but I trust that Dr B won't let anything happen to her. Oh, she goes first thing tomorrow morning for the surgery. She will spend one night at the vet and then I can bring her home Wednesday.

I am not so sure about this background.  What does everyone think?  Please always tell me if you have trouble reading any of the backgrounds I may use.  I don't want to ruin your eyes!  Also let me know if the color of the text is easy to read.  I know that sometimes I need to change the color depending on the background.

Last of the story

If you read my last entry and the ending seemed to be missing, I forgot to give you the link to the beta side where the whole entry is.  Sorry.  So click here to read the entire entry.

friendship?

I had the best friend ever, or so I thought, once.  It amazes me how some people are your friend when the times are good.  When the times are bad -- for them.  And even though they say they will be there for you when the going is bad for you, they just disappear.

I really believed that M would be my friend through think and thin.  Well, she hung in there a little while when the going got rough for me.  But when I explained what I needed out of our friendship she bailed on me.

A little background.  I met M when we worked at the same place.  She was younger than me, married and had 1 kid.  When we really started becoming friends she was trying to get pregnant with kid #2.  In fact she was taking some fertility drugs.

While she was pregnant I had a surgery and she brought some food over from time to time because she knew I really didn't feel like cooking.  When she had S she called me (at 3am) and I met her and her hubby at the hospital.  I stayed until the baby was born.

Fastforward. Husband got transfered to PA.  She was happy I was happy for her.  That first year was horrible for her.  They had 1 car and Matt took the car to work, long drive 2 hours 1 way.  She was stuck home with 1 kid in school, 1 in diapers, and guess what, she was pregnant again.  She was so depressed.

In an effort to try to help her I mailed her something EVERY day for a year.  A letter, a postcard, a package, whatever.  Just something so she would get some mail to maybe brighten her day.

Fastforward.  They moved several times over the next few years and I went to visit (flew, drove 9 hours once) each time they were in a new place.  Finally the decide to move back down here.

M decided it would be cheaper for her not to work because of her youngest 2.  She started selling Avon and I did what I could to get her some sells where I worked.

Fastforward.  I got sick.  I mean MAJOR depression.  The doctor put me out of work.  M would call me but I was inno shape to talk to her.  I would call her from time to time to try to explain what was going on with me, and my mom would call her some also.

M started getting upset because I wouldn't answer the phone most of the time.  I tried to tell her that most of the time I didn't feel like talking.  I even sent her a card every now and then to let her know that I still wanted her as a friend.  I told M that what I really needed wasn't a phone call, but a letter, or a card every now and then.  That would be great.  M informs me that "she isn't a card or letter type person".  Huh?  This is new to me.  I even remind her of all the mail I sent to her when she was down.  "I remember, and you must have spent a fortune on postage"  "But just don't have the time to send mail" (didn't you say you would be there for me? that you would drop everything?)

All I wanted was 1 lousy card.  Did I ever get it? What do you really think?  Nope.  Not a one.  Know what I did get?  I got a call few weeks before HER birthday, she would drop off a birthday present, and maybe a Christmas present for me at my mom's house (I live right around the corner from my mom, but she always left the stuff there).  She did this for a few years.

Then, knowing that I wasn't working, she sent me a form letter where she was trying to raise money to go on a 2 week mission trip to Ireland.  Good for her.  If she felt God wanted her to do this that is great.  But to send me a FORM letter, knowing I didn't have money, and the fact that we really weren't speaking to each other.  That really PO'd me.  I did not answer the letter.  And guess what? I never heard from her again.

The more I think about on it, the more I realize I was the giver in our friendship and that I got little back in return.

a new group

Everyone I have started a new group.  And before you say: "Another group? We don't need another group." Let me tell you.  This is a very different type group.

This is a group just for AOLers, and it is for sharing animated gifs/clip art/blinkies/background tiles, anything that will dress up the look of your journal!

I do have this on MSN because I think their groups will work better for this type of thing.  I do have it as a private group, but it is not really private.  What?  See I only want AOL people (nice if you have a journal but not necessary) so to keep non-AOL people out I had to have it private.  To get into the group all you have to do is show your AOL email address.  If you already have a MSN account you can keep that nickname, or you can create a new one.  You DON'T have to use your AOL screen name.

Here is the link to get there. http://groups.msn.com/AOLJournalistGraphics/ If you are stopped and asked why you want to join the group just key in your AOL email address.  I WILL NEVER GIVE THIS ADDRESS OUT.  This is just a way of only letting in AOL people.  Please come and check it out.  If you don't like what you see you can always leave the group.  But I hope you will stay. And invite all your AOL friends!!!

update:  to get an MSN account all you have to do is go to MSN.com and sign up.  It's totally free! 

trying out a background, and giving away a surprise!

Ok ladies and gentlemen lets try another background. I know that I can't use a different background everytime, and heck I may only use them every now and again, but right now since we are all playing with beta I might as well go background crazy!

If you have seen the backgrounds I have used in other journals you will know that picking a background isn't easy. Some are too dark, some are too bright, and some are just too darn busy. Then you need to choose the color and size font that makes it all more readable. So much to think about, gives the old brain a bit of an ache!

I haven't spent alot of time the past few days on journaling and I am sorry. I have just been surfing around the web looking for ideas for the surprise links, and for the "fun" page I am still trying to put together. I just popped over to my "where to find help" page and saw this:  . Whoo Hoo!!!! If anyone reading this is on that page when it hits 1000 take a screen capture send it to me and I will send you a little surprise via e-mail! Just a little surprise mind you! If you want to pass the word on go ahead. The more the merrier right?

 

Let me hit enter now and see how this background is doing.

This will be the first time I try a backgound in this journal. I have tried it before in my other strickly beta journal. Lets see if it works here. I really like this background. I have a picture of it above. It looks huge I may have to take it down.

I wanted to to update my beta stuff all day but they have been down. Now I am about ready to go to bed. Nothing has gone right. I need to try to fill up this entry some so it will be long enought to try the background on. So, I will start to ramble now. If anyone is reading this you may leave now if you want. No one will care about the ramblings of a crazy woman here.

The weather was beautiful today. It got up in the 70s! And to think we had close to 8 inches of snow last week.

Sadie just won't leave poor Dallas alone. Dallas was trying to use the litter box and there was little Sadie stalking her. I had to shut Sadie in another room so Dallas could potty. That is just crazy! Ok, I think I may have long enough of an entry to hit save and see what happens. I will probably still have to come back and put in some spacing Beta always messes that up.

Yeah, just like I said I had to come back and put in spacing that beta had taken out. And I think I will have to use a bigger font size. Here we go again. How do you like pink type on this background? Too hard on the eyes? Will beta ever fix the spacing problem? Am I the only one with this problem?

Today is another day

Hello everyone.  Today I am in a somewhat better mood.  I was ready to play with my beta journals.....but they are down today. Oh well.....

I have been searching the net for some animated (and some not so animated) signatures with my name.  I have been having fun doing it. 

I have also discovered some groups (outside aol) that share siggy's, but also lots of other things that they have collected.  Some even have people in the group that take request and makes siggys or tags for you for free!  Love it!  I have been thinking of starting a group like that just for us here on AOL.  I LOVE the way the MSN group pages are set up better than the AOL ones.  If I started a group like that do you think anyone would want to join and to share?  I know that other journalers may not want to take the time to make siggys, but I like the sharing graphics thing.  Do you think there is a REAL NEED for something like this? Or would it be better to just point you to groups that are already set up and running?   THIS WOULD NOT BE A "JOURNALING" GROUP, JUST ONE TO SHARE GRAPHICS, TAGS, SIGGYS, ETC...

Let me know what you think.  If you want me to direct you to some of the groups I have found that do this just let me know.  Leave a comment here or e-mail me.

   Ps...Pamela if you are reading this, look what they have done to my graphic, the purple frame.  Did you tell AOL to do that? hee hee
