Linky Love | Filed under General
Today is a day many of you look to with excitement, Friday, you can have the
weekend with family and friends and just relaxing in the manner you enjoy.
Sometimes I think we wake up on Monday looking for Friday. What about the
time in between? So much is lost to us in our busy lives. Take just a minute and
look around, I bet right there is something you have not noticed that just might
bring a smile to your face. Please take a little time today, we can add to the
beauty and share love in the world!
Just a little something that came to mind last night that I would like to share.
Blog
I don’t even know who you are
You don’t even know who I am.
We don’t even know where each live
All that is known is good friends ,
Bring out their inner-selves
Through this little cyber world.
Who gave who confidence is not important.
Who made who smile by their posts .
Who thought who to be a positive thinker.
Who brought who inspiration.
Who admires who is unknown,
Who showers who with their comments.
Who gives who ideas to write.
Who makes who lite up
Who talked to who today
All that is known is good friends ,
Bring out their inner-selves
Through this little cyber world.
We pass to each other
Words from our heart
Though we are unknown
We have recognized one thing
We all share One Passion
For a thing we call a BLOG.

It is time for me to bring you some love, and play a little game here. Yes, I do play games I am not serious all the time. However even with my games you will see they still tend to show THAT side of me. Just don’t tell my mother about the side I am talking about. Oh You want to know, I’m giving away love today. Yes Linky Love is here again. Now why is it going to be different than when I usually give out linky love. I want you to “Linky Love it Forward”
The rules are really simple. All you have to do is pick someone from your blog roll and post here in the comments because I need to visit them but most of all put on your site just what makes them blog worthy. What, just one, no you can pick two people. What? Ok fine, three if you must! Now don’t forget I want to see who you chose and discover some new sites. Please tell them Vickie sent you.
Now the Linky Love begins….
First up on the radar is a blog that was built not of love but of compliments. Yes I am talking about The Complimenting Commenter. The writer behind this blog loves nothing more than to compliment people. I encourage you to go visit here and tell her what a great job she is doing spreading compliments through the blog community. If you have someone on your blog that needs a compliment, please ask CC to visit them. Now, remember go visit .
The second one up is a very dear blog friend that is closing shop. Yes I am so sad to see my funny and charming child from Rockchild place his last post. Rockchild is near and dear to me for many reasons. He has been following me since the beginning of my blog and he was so kind and nominated for one of the blog awards I was a finalist in last year. RC’s blog is closing due to spam as his mother decided it is just too much. Please go by here and wish him the best and tell him I sent you. He is one of the best and I will miss him very much. Yes RC you will be missed.
The third one up is a new blog to me and the writer closed his old personal blog down and set this one up for this one for his Biker group. This blog is Warchild and if you need know the good work of bikers just stop by here for you will find the articles. The Warchild Riding Group is out Toddle Inn Chaffee MO and they are Bike Riders Who Care and are dedicated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital who is dedicated to
Finding Cures. Saving Children. RD might be seen making comments from time to time on blogs and he his a great person. RD, Thanks for the good education you do and also for the many good deeds you have done and continue to do with your group. So go by and say hello.
The Fourth up is someone who has become a very special person in my life in a very short time. She is one of my Soul Sisters and well I just am not going to try and tell you all the many reasons I love Jude as I do. We communicate on the same level and even as I try to write this I tear up because she is just one of those that walks into your life and you wonder what did you do before. I am talking about Jude of Showers and Sunflowers. She is from Alberta, a hippy chick, who makes the best friend. Now I am not asking you to go visit her, I am telling you to go visit her. Jude Thank you for hoping your heart to me as you have and blessing my life as you do. You are a very special lady, one I do love.
I think if you will all just do some Linky Love it Forward we will spread it around. I will be back with more over the week-end.
Now for five things you do not know about me and you might want to know or you might care less but guess what I’m going to share them with you anyway.
6. I have one cat who is a male. He is named Smoltz
7. I like baseball
8. My favorite team is the Atlanta Braves
9. My favorite position in baseball is pitcher
10.My favorite baseball pitcher is John Smoltz
Now you know just a few more things about me. I think I will take you 100 and you still might not know too much. Until next time, Yes Life Is Simply Good.

I love your linky love posts! I know I’m not a great commentor, but your blog is just awesome and such a source for inspiration for me! Linky Love days are great because I just love to find new blogs to blather in for a moment or two! Thanks for sharing Vickie!
August 5th, 2005 at 8:00 am
What a neat idea! Where do you come up with these things?
August 5th, 2005 at 8:50 am
I don’t have a big blogroll by choice. But two that I don’t think you know are Skunk and Lilly. Skunk is hilarious and Lilly is just a lovely girl from what I see of her writing. The rest I think you know so I’m recommending you visit these two.
August 5th, 2005 at 9:18 am
I will have to think on this one. Okay you shocked me - you like baseball? I caught the cat name and the players name - go Astros.
August 5th, 2005 at 11:24 am
That was a great poem!! Love it!!!
I’m so sad about RC! I’ll check the others out too, and spread some linky love. Great idea!!
That’s cool that you named your cat Smoltz! I’m enjoying the things so far. I did a 100 things a while ago, and probably need to update them.
*HUGS & LOVE*

Wow thanks Vickie for the compliments and for the soul-sisterhood! I think you’re pretty darn special too, my friend.
Here’s a blog I have linked that is really entertaining. Her name is Jay and she’s from eastern Canada. This lady can WRITE! She should do it for a living, in my opinion! She’s just hilarious and I can see why she has such a large readership. Check out her posts Vickie, I promise you won’t regret it!

Another is Mona, this lady’s blog is all about positive thinking and “Peace” for the mind, body and spirit. She’s really great!
http://www.wantpeace.blogspot.com//
And a third is Vince, he’s hilarious too, and his blog posts are about a variety of things, but the underlying tone is always his true love ~ his wife (he refers to her as The Wife) and his two kids. Another blog that is highly entertaining!

Have a wonderful weekend Vickie!

Linky Love it forward
Started by Always Victoria, the idea is to blog about and link to some blogs that you particularly like, and then leave a link in her comments, so here goes. Karen has become a close friend. She is so brave,…
August 5th, 2005 at 12:30 pm
I’m afraid I got carried away! There is a post full of links on my blog. Brilliant idea!
August 5th, 2005 at 12:46 pm
You might think that it takes more info on you to know you. But I have read a few of your posts and know that the feelings and thoughts you have put in your posts. Tells me more than the facts around you. If beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Then your posts have given a view into your heart. Keep on blogging. There is such beauty in you that we all need to see your example. Blog on sweet lady.
August 5th, 2005 at 3:26 pm
Thanks Vickie! My mom does not want me to blog, but I can still come visit yours, which is so cool, and my hamster Duckie and my two new hamsters thinks so to, because they’re smiling!
I hope you have a nice weekend, Vickie!

Catching up this week. Been distracted. Quick story. Last Sunday we answered an add for Siamese kittens. (More to that story). I went and got them - give me a boy and a girl - tucked into a box and brought them home. They were sooo skinny. Monday when I got home from work the boy was down. I rushed him to the vet, and they tried their best but he didn’t make it through the night. Tuesday morning I call the folks and told them what happened, and asked if they had any left - one boy. (more to that story too). I said I’m coming to get him and got no argument. Took new boy and girl to vet and got them both on antibiotics, vitamins and stool stuff. Little Sarge and Mary Ann (more to that story too) are a week older, fattening up, playing, wrastling, and sticking their noses into just about everything in the house. They going to be tough little shits. G’day!
