These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

!!!!!!!!!

I'M BACK!!!!!!

Do you know how hard it is for me to live without DSL????? Even more than the phone! I've admitted it before, and I'll do it again .....

Hello. My name is Lynilu, and I'm an internet addict.



Whew. OK, I feel better now.

I'll be back later with a regular post, but I have some things to do first. I want to get to your comments during my absence. And I was in the middle of a couple household chores when the phone was back, so I should finish those up.

I want to say something about the ginger tidbit in Tuesday's trivia. It really works for motion sickness. One of the nice-ities on cruises, at least with Holland America, my favorite cruise line, is that they offer ginger after dinner, and it is available other times if you request it. They serve it as little chunks of the pulp in a syrupy sauce, and a little piece just 1/2 square does wonders. At home, I keep the kind you can get a grocery or food speciality stores. It is dried and dipped in a coarse sugar. When my tum is upset, nibbling on a piece or two of that really, really calms the uneasiness. I've hears that ginger tea is good in this way, too. I haven't tried it. It would be fine to have tea if you're stationery, at home or whatever. But if you're traveling, that would be very inconvenient, so I'd suggest the candied ginger. A bonus is that it actually tastes good!!

And on text messaging .... if you're on Verizon, you can text the heck outta me! I'm IN with Verizon, so it is a freeby, and I upped my minutes, anyway. So far everyone I txt msg with is on V, but I figure I've opened a can of worms, I might as well be prepared!! LOL! My second precious granddaughter, Aleksis, got a cell phone for her birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEXIE!!!! If I'm gonna maintain my slammin' grammy reputation, I gotta be ready!!

OK, I'll be back a little later. Do you feel better? I do!!
