Sunday Samplings #12

  • Les Jones has posed an interesting question for all you bloggers out there. Just what is your ratio of blog posts to comments? Take a moment to stop by and post your information. The responses are really interesting!
  • Yvonne Foong is a Malaysian college student suffering from Neurofibromatosis. The disease affects the nervous system and causes benign tumors to grow throughout the body. Yvonne has had three brain surgeries and one spinal surgery to remove these tumors, and she still needs additional treatments. Her blog contains an online store where you can purchase clothing, jewelry, artwork, and her book entitled I’m Not Sick, Just a Bit Unwell: Life with Neurofibromatosis.
  • Byron Chesney just participated in the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He walked in memory of his sister, Pam, raising more than $1,300. Byron’s post, Look Mommy, It’s Raining Flowers!, is the story of Pam’s life and death. Have a tissue handy when you read it.
  • If you live in the Knoxville area and are interested in auditioning for a film project, you can find the details on the Callboard Blog.
  • As you know, I’ve had a serious spider problem in my house, so I can’t resist passing along a link to Bobby’s Freaky Morbid Spider post.  You’ll find out more than you ever wanted to know about Brown Recluse spiders.
  • And while we’re on the topic of spiders, be sure to check out Andrew’s post entitled You Found What in the Grapes?

    This is a great idea. I’ll have to track some of my web-surfing.

  6. Bobby Revell Says:

    Thanks for the link love Tish! Most of my regular readers seemed to skip over my little Halloween story! I guess I understand. I wrote it to freak people out and I think I succeeded. I have had 9 e-mails asking me to remove the Recluse photo and they all asked, “Why did you write this horrible story?”
    I love horror stories and if it grosses me out, I like it even more:)

  7. Andrew Says:

    Thanks for the… ahem… spidering, Tish. And some other great stuff on here. I haven’t looked at Bobby’s scary spider yet, as I can already tell I’ll lose what’s left of my lunch…

  8. chattiekat Says:

    Choc - Thanks! I’ll definitely pass on the penguin!

    Eric - Thanks. All the bloggers are doing it!

    Bobby - You’re welcome! It’s a great post! I do think the photo is a bit freaky though. hehe.

    Andrew - You’re welcome! Haha! Let me know what you think of Bobby’s post when you’re brave enough to look at it. ;)

  9. Byron Says:

    Thanks for the link. I received an email from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society today informing me that this year’s walk was the most successful in Knoxville to date, raising over $102,000.

  10. Max Coutinho Says:

    Thank you, once again, Tish :)!

    Cheers

  11. chattiekat Says:

    Byron - You’re very welcome. And that’s great news. $102,000 will go a long way in the fight against Leukemia and Lymphoma!

    Max - You’re very welcome! Have a great day!
