The words, I see them



Its all in the words, no thoughts are needed, I see the words.

When I blog, I write about myself, or sometimes just thoughts and random happenings. I write from within and everything is truth with feeling. I know my friends read this blog, and even some of my family members, what I don't know is perhaps the many others that come across this blog and read my writings. What is amazing to me, is these others which by now know so much about me from my writings, and I know nothing about them. I had some turbulent teen years, that are not a shining star in my past, once I passed these years, I promised myself that I would always stay true to myself and others. So when I write my happenings and my thoughts the words are real. I don't hide behind the words I bring them forth, as these words help me in understanding my life from past to present.

The truth is, I really don't care if I don't know the "others" as perhaps they stop by to see what I am up to next, or are just curious of my being. And really, that is surly ok, as I have my websites and blogs that I frequent as well.

This blog I am told is a oddity, as it has its followers, complete strangers at one point, and now friends, who continue to come back blog after blog. It was created out of friendship and continues to flourish with each passing day. We learn something new each day, as different bloggers tell their story thru words.

I am a true spirit, living my life just as all the "others", what I have tho, is a forum, which to me is a daily blessing. It opens up doors that I never thought were possible, it creates the words that are me. What I have come to realize from blogging is that words can't hurt if you understand where they are coming from, I let the words be, so they can present their own meaning.

Its all in the words, no thoughts are needed, I see the words.

Wow, 1 thru 10, how fun is that!

Now, I know you see my words, but do you see the others?

Sandie said...

Congrats on first, etc., Tina! Good heavens, what happened to Eunice?? She scared me this morning--I thought I missed all summer and it was October! Eeeek!

Hi Carol, "it's only words and words are all I have ..." Isn't that a BeeGees song? I see your words--thank you!

I won't be here much as I'm leaving tomorrow for MD for a week and don't know if I'll be able to get to a computer. I'm sort of bummed that I'll have to go back to long pants and shoes. :( I'll miss you guys--have a great week!

TinaHo,
If you feel and noone picked you up, you would have to wait for someone to get here, just be patient, someone will arrive. You can always keep yourself busy ya know, there are many things one can do on the floor, even alone..

night.owls.sb said...

Sandie,
I will miss ya.. but enjoy..

Yes you will need long pants and shoes, it is still chilly here..

night.owls.sb said...

Ok, I am going to go to work I am making typos.. phones are ringing and I am not paying attention to what I am typing..

TinaHO!

Feel should be Fell.. however feel is such a better word.. :O)

Sandie!

I will miss ya.. but enjoy.. makes no sense at all..

Lets start over...

I will miss ya, but I am sure you will enjoy your week away..

When I refer to being chilly, I know I am not in MD, but NJ is close by..

Sandie said...

That was my deleted comment--somehow I posted twice.

Thanks, Carol! I knew what you meant! LOL Have a good day at work. :)

Lynn D said...

Morning Glories!

Tina and Eunice first! Congrats

Carol when I write the words flow. Sometimes faster in my mind than my fingers can keep up with. Yes I see the words.

I to am amazed how this blog has evolved and we have become friends and continue to check in each day. The people here help me keep my sanity and allow me to ramble in my fashion. LOL

Morning Carol and Sandie! Sandie have a safe trip!

Lois Lane said...

Beautiful Carol.

Congratulations Tina #1 hooter!

goldie said...

Good Morning Hooters!

Have a good day everyone- I have some serious catching up to do here.

Sandie - safe travels...

Lynn - I LOVE your rambling!!

waving howdy to all who land..

I hope everyone has an excellent day!!
:-)

East Bay J said...

Good morning!

Congrats on 1st again Tina!

Carol, I have said before that I don't know how you do it each morning. You always have something so meaningful to write about, and I can't imagine not having your blog to read each day... I feel lucky to have actually met some of the owls.

Sandie, have a fun, safe trip! I will take good care of your necklace when I get it next week!

Dianne/Denver said...

Hello TINA, SANDIE, GOLDIE, MEK, EBJ,CAROL, LYNND AND LOIS and Good Morning to anyone else that lands today.

I have been off the blog but reading for the last week or so but wanted you all to know that I say "good morning" in my thoughts as I read each day.

CAROL: I don't know how you come up with so many blogs and they are wonderful to read...thank you for doing that for all of us.

MEK: I hope MrMEK is feeling better today. I am waiting for that picture of Tug all dressed up! :)

I have been having some grandchilden time the last couple of weeks and I love that especially when I pick the times. I am meeting a friend today with her grandkids and my DIL and my three grandsons and we are "lunching" at McD's and then skating for two hours. NO...I AM NOT GOING ON SKATES because if I did I would have to say good bye to everyone now! The three grown-ups are the audience.

SANDIE; Have a nice trip.

JUST/LIN: Hope you are having fun with your mom.

Dianne/Denver said...

TINA: Your friend Eunice sure had her hair grow fast or is it extensions to make her look so lovely? It looks like she has on her bunny ears for the Easter season!

ibebold said...

Good Morning OWLETTES!!!!!!!

Tina...1-10...wow... CONGRATS!!

Carol.. yes.. I love to see your words...
I don't know how you do it day after day... I can hardly write I what i mean in the little bit i do here.. I don't express myself very well.. and I hold back in here.... as i don't KNOW who all is out there lurking...

and I am a pretty private person..


Sandie.. If you see a sign to Front Royal ..Wave at me...
I wish I had known you were coming to Maryland.. we could have met!!!
and yes you will need long pants and shoes... might want to bring a jacket, too... (sorry)
it is really windy today...I am 60 miles west of DC but our forecast is cold and rainy for the next 4-5 days...

LynnD.. I love your ramblings... but I don't think it's ramblings... if that makes sense..

Morning Lois..

Goldie... I bet you are having withdrawls.. from the grand babies...

MEK...Morning... How is Mr. MEK today...feeling better every day I hope!!!

EBJ...morning... remember that Survivor is on tonight...

it is on at the same time as A Idol tonight..
between the presidentand this March madness . it is messing my TV schedule all up..
hope everyone has a great day...

ibebold said...

Morning Dianne.. you dropped by while I was typing... and making messes and having to stop and clean them up...
I have just spilled my second Dr pepper of the morning...
i hate that ...

scirish said...

Just a quick fly by to say Hello!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Morning back IBB...spilling in the AM is not a good start to the day but then I guess it is alrady afternoon there. I had to get up early today and I am not fond of that at all.

Hope you have a good day and no more spills!

whabbear said...

Good bye, Sandie! Have a good trip!

MEK: LOL!

My issue from Carol's blog today is for IBB, who noted, as Carol did in her blog, that we have no control over who reads the Owl's nest, and therefore IBB is careful about what she says.

I need to think about that, I guess. IBB, I am so opposite to you... I just kind of let it all hang out here in the nest (and in other online venues), with little thought to the fact that non-regulars might be taking the time to read the blog and the comments, and could (potentially) use the information we supply about ourselves against us in some way.

Should I be more careful, I wonder? Do you all think that outsiders (or lurkers) really do read what we say to each other in here?

ibebold said...

WOW... I made Whabby stop and think... now that is definetly a change in events... cause you always make me stop and think!!!

ibebold said...

Where is Mo... I miss ya...
hope everything is O.K...

Lani said...

CAROL - It is nice to be able to come here and talk with each other as though we were together in person. Thank you.
EUNICE - I knew your hair would be quite something after all the days spent in curlers.
SANDIE - I guess the flip flops are staying home?
LYNN - You and the other OWLS are never forgotten.
GOLDIE - Your grandchildren will have wonderful memories of you for a lifetime. You are their fun grandma.
LL - How have you been?
MEK & EBJ - I hope there is still lots of healing going on in your homes.
DIANNE - Like you, I haven't been on the nest as much lately, but the OWLS are in my thoughts each day. Have a great time with your family today.
IBB - I think you write just fine.
SCIRISH - How are you feeling?
BEAR - I'm sure people are reading the blog.
HELLO - to all who fly in after me.
Everyone have a wonderful day.

Mary/MI said...

IBB, I cannot stop laughing at "wow, I made Whabby stop and think"
I was ROTF!!
BBL when I can pull myself together lol!!

Tina~in_ut said...

bear~ you really make me laugh....you of all people are quoted left and right EVERYWHERE!

sacBarb said...

Happy Wednesday Owls and good afternoon.

I have just returned from taking my sister to the eye doc. I got quite an education sitting in the waiting room. Carol, seems like you are not the only one with words that flow. There was a lady waiting for her audiology test, who was YELLING to the person sitting next to her. She was giving an account of her life. I not sure if she was YELLING because she couldn't hear or the person she was talking to was deaf.

In any case, this old woman was giving a blow-by-blow (pun intended) description of her love life. Personally, I think she was just reliving her past and the good old days. It was all I could do not to LOL. Then my sis came out right in the middle of a juicy story, leaving the ending to my imagination. A dangerous thing, to be sure. I imagined several interesting scenarios which I imparted to my sis and we cracked up all the way home. It really doesn't take much to amuse me.

sacBarb said...

Carol, I see your words, too, and I am so grateful for them. You have given us this place to meet every day and I love that so many Owls also come here to roost. I am honored that I can be a part of this wonderful, zany, safe place. I don't say thanks enough, but know that I am grateful every day. Love you.

scirish said...

SacBarb~What an interesting time at the doctors office...How come that never happens to me??

sacBarb said...

Hi Tina, You are the #1 hooter again today. Sorry I wasn't around to pick you up, but it looks like you managed OK by yourself.

Sandie, Safe travels and stay warm.

LynnD, Love your comments and I don't consider them ramblings.

Goldie, I only have one grandchild, but I always liked it better when he was here without the parents, too.

Bear, I am convinced that we have many lurkers but who cares? If they don't want to participate in our fun, it is there loss.

Waving madly at all the other Owls. I hope you are all having a good day. BBL

sacBarb said...

Scirish, Maybe you should move to Sac. We have more interesting waiting rooms. LOL

Lois Lane said...

Waving a hooter to Tina, Scirish, Mary, Lani, MEK, Ibebold, Dianne, Whabby, sacBarb, East Bay J, Carol, Lynn_D, Goldie and all who fly in later.

Diannne, Goldie, are grands as fun as they seem? Not that I'm rushing the process but you two sound so happy. :)

I've been good Lani, thanks for asking. I have a heap of freelance stuff that came out of the blue. All fun, exciting. All ghostwriting so I can't share details. :( Trust me, fun and good stuff.

Right about the time our furnace crapped out and the guy said it would be $6,800 to replace along with duct work etc. Best timing ever for this work to come. It will help sooooo much!!

So this week, as I try to crank out all of my assignments, I am dealing with a house full of men digging around in my dusty ducts LOL!

Tina~in_ut said...

omg!!! I just talked to a Sr. who is flying with her sister who is a Sr.!!!!! she was so cute! I told her my dad has cousins who are Sr's and she thought that was sweet~

okay....now how many of you are going to understand that? :D

Have a fun time Sandie~

SacBarb~ CAN YOU HEAR ME???!!!! :)~

Scirish~ I guess you aren't lucky like SacBarb~ :)~

Carol~ thanks for the cool place to hang and play~ If lurkers don't want to play, that's okay~ At least they get to learn from our pearls of wisdom! :)~ (i'm cracking myself up!!!)

Di~ guess what....I got in trouble for posting Halloween Eunice!!!! Apparently I was supposed to wait! YIKES!!!! But here is something to look forward to...i have three....count them THREE Easter Eunice's~ :D

Tina~in_ut said...

LL~ I hope you are taking pictures......of the guys, of course~ :)~

Lani said...

LL - I am glad you are doing well. Somehow our needs are met, sometimes just in time. Sounds like you are enjoying your work. I hope you are enjoying those men in your dusty ducts. ;)

Hi to BARB & MARY & Hi to EUNICE from TOAD

Lani said...

Speaking of cute Sr, 2 Sr from the Russian Convent come into the veterinary clinic and sit in the the waiting room and giggle the whole time. They just made me smile.

CAROL - I can never have quaffee any more without hearing your voice. Makes me laugh. Thank you again for the NEST. It is a kind and fun place to be.

BARB - Your tool man is still here looking for his tool belt! ;)

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friends!

CAROL...I love seeing your words. You are so expressive and I can tell your words go straight from your heart to your fingertips to the screen. I wish I could write as freely as you do.

LYNN...I love your rambles!! Keep rambling sistah!

IBB...Awww, thanks! I fell asleep last night at about 10 after 8 and when I woke up, I was in a fog...so I felt it best not to blog! Still coughing and blowing my nose a LOT! But, life goes on.

MEK...Hope MR.MEK is feeling better. Did ya stop at MEKals?

LURKERS...HI!

TINA...I don't have any Srs in my family. R U surprised by that??!! But I knew what you meant. I do have a cousin by marriage that is Roman Catholic and she says she has a pope in her ancestry.

AI doing Motown tonight! Can't wait!

Oh, I was very pleased with who was booted from DWTS last night ;)

Maureen said...

SANDIE...have a safe trip. I hope you don't mind that I was a little happy to read you won't be needing your flip flops for a week ;)~

Bebbilane said...

Congrats on first Tina!! Tina, now Eunice looks like she needs to wear that outfit around Halloween time!


Well, I hope everyone had a great day! I went to my first Yoga class EVER! Very cool. And, very "stretchy"..wow...!

Carol: Great Blog! Nice how the universe aligned so that we could all meet and be friends at this wonderful Owl's nest!

Going to read the comments.

MEK in AZ said...

MO - I was estatic with who got voted off DWTS last night - I knew you would be too!!

Bebbilane said...

Congrats on 69 k-girl!

Maureen said...

MEK...didn't it seem like she never really wanted to be there anyhow? She was a whiny little one! Holly is probably next to go.

Maureen said...

one hour and 30 minutes into AI...OMG. CHILLS

sacBarb said...

Mo & MEK, I was glad about DWTS results too. She got on my last nerve.

Lani, My cabinet guy must have gotten a new tool belt, cause he hasn't been complaining. LOL

I am excited about Motown on AI tomight. It starts here in one hour.

sacBarb said...

K-girl, I'm trying to talk Sharon into another trip to HI, but she is going to Peru in June so it probably won't be this year. I'm not going to Peru cause I don't have a spare $8,000. YIKES!

MEK in AZ said...

MO and sacbarb - i am only TWO singers into Idol and i already am SOOOOOOOOOO impressed!!!

should be a good nite - I decided to pass on survivor tonight..

East Bay J said...

IBB thanx for the reminder about Survivor tonight! We have about 10 min. til it starts here.

Mo and MEK, I was also happy to see how got the boot on DWTS last night. I didn't think she'd go this fast, but not unhappy at all that she's gone.

Kgirl we are hoping to visit your beautiful islands next year, so hopefully we can meet you!

I have a good friend who lives in Maui, and that was MR. EBJs favorite island when we visited a couple years ago. He is really anxious to go back.

Sandie said...

Finally finished all the things I need to do for my family before I go--I have such a hard time leaving them! I'll be okay once I get there. :)

IBB, maybe next time? I'll be going back.

LL, congrats on your freelance stuff! Yippee!

Thank you ALL for your kind "safe travel" wishes!! You guys are the best and I'll miss the nest. I should name all of you but I'd better get a good night's sleep for the long drive.

Have a good week! xoxoxo

ibebold said...

Survivor is only a re-cap show... so MEK you didn't miss any thing...

I loved Idol tonight...

Sandie said...

Oops, forgot to say that EBJ, you'll be sending the necklace to Mary/mi. EBJ, you have myspace mail.

Goodnight!

East Bay J said...

Well Survivor was a big waste tonight. A recap show like IBB said. Didn't realize that before watching it!

MEK in AZ said...

IBB - lol - the email is NOT from me!!! but I will send you one and let you know what you need to look at.....

ibebold said...

sacBarb said...

All of you who are watching or have already watched IDOL...This is not a spoiler, BUT, I think Smokey didn't give very good advice to some of the contestants...jmho

sacBarb said...

MEK. awwwwww, too bad he didn't do it while you were there.

MEK in AZ said...

SacBarb - yes, i totally agree with you about Smokey!! and NO, this is NOT a spoiler!!

and - YES, awwwwwwww.... he sure was giving it a GOOD try while I was there....... his little arms and legs were "swimming"....

IBB - love you too!!! sweet dreams as Just Lin would say!!

hope she is having a good visit...

sacBarb said...

MEK, Is it just me that thinks Adam on AI looks like Kurt Russell? I really liked him tonight.

MEK in AZ said...

SacBarb - you are SO right - I was trying to figure out WHO he looked like tonight..

and - yes, he was one of my favs tonight - and, trust me when I say, he is NOT my fav!! LOL...

okay - Bucket List is on - it's been a few weeks since I have watched it......

Hope everyone has an excellent Thursday!!
