<b>Dis…..<\/b>As you know, I’m very new to blogging, but I was delighted tonight to learn that I am involved in an activity that is still considered to be the newest trend in online communication. We were watching the Lehrer Report this evening and one of the segments was on blogs. Do you recall Trent Lott’s recent political downfall? It seems it was brought about not only by Mr. Lott’s own mouth, but by political bloggers who kept his words alive for several weeks until the regular news media recognized the ground swell and focused on it.
\nThe TV program focused primarily on the legion of blogs “penned” by people interested in politics, but commented on those that focus on other subjects, such as pornography and knitting. There is a woman at MSNBC who reads blogs each day to get a feel for the trends and interests, and they have assigned several journalists to blog each day. (Actually, having the cable journalists blog doesn’t really make sense to me, but she must have had a purpose in doing it.) I was truly surprised that they ignored the Comments feature of a blog. I caught T-bone saying he was a comment whore, and I know just how he feels.
\nAt any rate……I’m so glad T made a place for me among you!

\nIf you are interested in herbs, growing them, using them in food or for medicinal purposes such as aromatherapy, I moderate a Yahoo Group called “AnHerbGarden.” You’re welcome to join us. We do NOT consider marijuana an herb, thank you very much, but we discuss most everything else! lol All levels of ability and interest are welcome

\nIn annual beer consumption per person, the Czech Republic is #1, followed by Ireland, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia and Slovakia. The US comes in 12th at 84.4 liters per person. Personally, I prefer wine, so someone else has had my beer for low these many years.

\nI don’t know that Texas T-bone will ever read this, but if you do…..stick to resolution number five and keep shaving. *grins* A new study shows that men who don’t shave every day have less sex and are 70% more likely to have a stroke. (info courtesy of Cosmo. Catch my thoughts on Cosmo in a coming post.)
\nWouldn’t ya know, I’m married to a guy whom I’ve never seen without a beard. My Dad, my brother and my ex all had\/have beards, and Speedbump had a mighty fine beard the last time I saw him. (Ladies, that man will make you drool. Wait ’til he smiles at you!)
\nI’m not obsessing over this data, because I haven’t seen the research. The sample could have been skewed or too small. I’ll wait for the AMA to start talking about it. Until then, this was just one of those quirkie little things that caught my attention.
\nThhhhhat’s all, folks! Come again, soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
