I got an email from Marsha!

Yippeeeee! Now I have to work on Thomasina. I think she's trying to give me the slip. Everytime I send her an email it always comes back "not deliverable".

My Radio Station?

I remember telling Marsha how I had had a radio station at one time on Live365.com

For real! I uploaded my favorite music and even added my voice and used myself as an announcer. It only cost me about $50 every 6 months so that was something like $10 a month. Well they have changed their pricing and I'm still deciding whether or not I want to still have it.

In the meantime I found this option on Yahoo that lets a person "design" their own radio station. Here is the link to my radio station that I designed:

http://launch.yahoo.com/launchcast/station.asp?u=223535520

It's mostly old-school rhythm and blues like Al Green, the Isley Brothers and some older stuff from artists like Etta James. I think there's some Prince in there too.

If you click on the link then you can hear "my" radio station.

Guestbook Added!

I have now added a Guestbook to my blog and I will also soon add it to my webpage. You'll be able to sign it but the message has to first be moderated by me.

Hooray! I finally got my brother's picture on the side!

I'm not going to tell him though. I'm going to let it be a surprise!

I know he wanted me to put his picture on my blog and I told him that I would. It just took me some time to figure out how to get the picture on the side of the blog and not just posted as another entry.

My Brother is feeling better!

I'm glad that he is feeling better BUT I still think that he should go back to the hospital.  Our family has been known for its stubborness -  and yes that includes me too!  We got this thing about hospitals which is ironic because my mother was a nurse and I have worked as a nurse's aide - maybe that's why we don't like them!

I'll get another report on his progress soon.

Ain't Technology Grand!

Now my brother is having problems with HIS email program! Before it was me having trouble accessing MY email program!

Oh well! We talked about this on the phone and we concluded that we could always do it the "old-fashioned" way and talk on the phone. Who knows? We might even go "prehistoric" and write letters to each other!

Problems!

I hate when there's a problem!  Seems Blogger has changed theirselves around and a lot of people are having trouble even logging in!  The only reason why you are able to see this post is because I am doing it by email!

I want to be able to get back in  so that I can change the last entry I made which included me trying to get a picture of my brother on my blog.

So now I have to figure out how to solve THIS problem!

My Brother Says "Hi!"

My brother emailed me a picture of himself and I have posted it on my webpage at:

http://sister2brother.bravehost.com

I want to add it to my blog but the picture is very big in size and I want to resize it so that it will fit on the side of my blog. I know my brother's anxious for me to get his picture up - Maybe he wants all the women to see him!

Thomasina?

Well I was supposed to send her some information but the email address that she gave me wouldn't work.  So I'll put the information here but I'm also going to have to print out a copy just in case she doesn't see it posted here:

Hey Girl!

Ok, I got my cat at the SPCA but since I (technically) live in Montgomery County, my SPCA is located at 19 E. Ridge Pike in Conshocken.  The phone # is (610)825-0111.  According to what I have I got my cat in the year 2000 and it cost $46.77.  The "adoption" kit, deposit, pet carrier and tax were a part of the cost.  And I also had to sign an "adoption" paper saying that I would take good care of her.

Now you may not want to travel that far and decide to go to the SPCA for Philly at 350 E. Erie Ave.  The phone # is 215-426-6300.

See ya later!

I finally got into my email!

Been having trouble getting into my email account but I just sent off a short email to my brother!  I know that he will be glad because he has been asking me about whether or not I got the email he sent me.  There's still about 4 more emails from him and I answered one but now that I'm able to get back into my account I can read the rest of them and answer them!

It's been awhile since my brother has been online and he is currently getting excited about all the things that he can do online!  He just found out about Ebay and is already ready to buy some ham radio parts.  I like to tease him about getting addicted online because that is how I am and I like to tease him about being the same way.  I'm egging him on to get a blog like I have and also about him having a website!  He's still kind of new though and things are just sinking in for him and there is a lot of online stuff to discover.  But I want him to be addicted like me!

OH BROTHER!

I just found out from one brother that another brother is sick!  What is worse is that he refused to stay in the hospital after the doctor(s) wanted him to stay.  Doctors don't want you to stay unless they feel something is wrong and from what I have been hearing something is wrong.  So far from what I gathered he has pneumonia.  And add to that there is something wrong with his lung(s) and he has high blood pressure!  I have half a mind to put his name up on the Internet!  (But I won't do that - although I'm tempted!)

So what can be done?  It occurred to me that my whole family (and yes - including me) has this "stubborn" trait.  And that trait kind of doubles when it has something to do with hospitals and doctors and the like.  My brother tried to convince him to stay.  His wife tried.  I tried (Although I have half a mind to go and PHYSICALLY MAKE HIM go back to the hospital.  He's at home now resting in bed.  Since his wife has the day off she is taking care of him - but guess what - she doesn't sound too cool either.  She has a terrible cough and she's complaining of a "tickle".  I sure hope that she isn't coming down with something.

I hope my brother feels better soon.  If not we have some "convincing" to do!!!!!!!!

Smallville?

My brother just informed me that he is a big fan of this show which is quite surprising to me.  To me this just didn't seem to be his type of program.  Now me - I like shows like Crossing Jordon and "Bones" but these aren't his type of shows either.  I was a fan of Commander-In-Chief with Geenal Davis but this show was cancelled.

My brother definitely has different tastes in TV shows than I do!

Being An Adult?

I just got finished doing what I call "paperwork". Didn't care too much for it which is ironic because that is kind of the bulk of the kind of work that I do. Let's face it - I'm talking about bills!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to my childhood because back then I didn't know that such things existed!

Radio Station?

Marsha keeps asking me about my radio station. I did have one but for right now it's down! It's all a part of a website called Live365.com. Basically what it is is a place where you can have your own radio station! You can put music on it and you can put your voice on it and if you have a powerful computer you can even broadcast live! There are a lot of people that have radio stations on this website and some of them do broadcast live. There are all different kinds of radio stations - everything from all types of music to talk and interview shows. Basically how it works is first (of course) you have to sign up for it and download their software (to help you upload the music to their website). There is a fee of (minimally) @$50 every six months. The more popular your station is the higher the fee. It may seem complicated but if you want to have your own radio station this is about the most simplest way to do it. Basically what I did was have music in mp3 format and uploaded it to my radio station. Once its confirmed that the upload was successful that means that your music is on your programming. When you upload more music you can decide what order you want the music to be in. Now as for my voice basically what I did was record my voice to my computer using the simple voice recording program. Once that is done I can add effects or even music in the back ground with a little editing. And then I transfer it the same way that I would with the music. And there you have it - instant radio station! There is even a message board at the website where you can ask your questions and get answers and read posts from others that are new at it.

The site is http://www.live365.com

Powell Funeral Home!

This is the funeral home that did my mother's service. I chose them because they were the same funeral home that did my father's service more than 20 years ago! Imagine using the same funeral home without even talking to them in 20 years (in fact I didn't talk to them those 20 years ago because I was quite young and quite out of it at the time of my father's funeral).

Well as it turns out I had NOTHING to worry about because my mother's funeral service was absolutely beautiful! The service (including the music) was just like a inspirational church service and that includes the sermonizing by the pastor who presided over the funeral.

Even though my mother's funeral was a few months ago I kept saying to myself (and to one of the staff members) that I was going to mention them in my blog. Of course I hadn't gotten around to it until now mostly because I was down there today and I was telling them how memorable my mother's funeral was and that made me remember about how I said that I was going to mention them.

I'm going to put their full information on my blog. Talking about a funeral home might seem creepy to some but this one did an excellent job!

I finally saw Lashawna!

It was on a Saturday and I finally got a chance to talk to her!  She used to taunt me when I was working at the Shoprite (but in a good way!)  But since she's at another store its Thomasina that taunts me now! (-: 

Marsha is more nicer

and Edwina is just out to get me!

A Headache From Shopping?

I can't believe that I actually got a headache from shopping about a month ago!  I just remembered it while I was looking at posts on my blog.  At the time maybe it was because of all the people that happened to be in the store that day.  But someone did suggest that maybe it was because I was under a lot of stress?  Well, after I got home I took some aspirin and I feel a whole lot better!  Of course I have been shopping since then (gotta eat!) and it hasn't happened since.

It's been a few days since I posted.....

Things are going ok for now. It is as cold as heck outside and its very windy. I'll keep trying to update my blog as much as possible but you know sometimes I even forget that I have one. I would love it if my brother had one and he's just as computer literate as I am so I hope he gets one soon!

To everybody else "Hey!"

It's been a while since I have posted.....

A LOT of things have been going on!  Everyone has been so nice and I'm just taking things one day at a time.  It's very hard when you lose a loved one - especially when they are your family!

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to everyone!

Talked with my brother again today

We chatted for awhile and I told him how mother is doing better.  He, himself is recovering from a stroke as well.  His speech isn't 100% but we understand each other very well.  He told me that he was watching a gospel ministry show on TV which is very surprising to me because he never seemed the religious type before so I thought it kind of strange.

It was good talking to him today.
