I received this picture from my friend Marian a couple of days ago.  Don't know where she got it from, but it gave me a big chuckle!  Thank You, Marian!!

Happy Halloween to All!!

As the saying goes:  You've come a long way, Baby!! ~ LOL

I remember it was exactly two years ago when I signed up to be a member of MYFOXORLANDO.COM.  Even my avatar says it:  Member Since:  7/15/2006  ~ LOL

I had never "blogged" in my life!

In the past two years, I have had great experiences and have learned a lot just from reading and commenting on what other bloggers post.  We are definitely a diverse group of people!!

One of the things I have enjoyed the most is looking at the thousands and thousands of photos posted here.  Some of them are posted in the bloggers' profiles; some are posted in the Weather Baby section or the Pet section, and a lot of them are placed in the Photo Galleries.  Photos are a lot of fun!!

One of the things I blogged about a long time ago was how the Internet has given us this wonderful world of communication.

It is mind boggling to me to think how many people can be in communication at once via the Internet.  We see it on MySpace, Google and AOL.  And in my case, I see it when my kids are playing video games.  The play in "rooms" full of hundreds of people who are connected, even from the other side of the world!!  Incredible!!

So hopefully, all of you are enjoying this type of communication as I am.

Who knows, maybe in the future, I will be able to blog about celebrating many more years of being a blogger!! ~ ROFLOL

 Because of You, today I can celebrate a 25 Year Anniversary!!

It is amazing how time goes by.  As if it was yesterday, I remember when I went to your office for an interview.  I had just graduated from school and had dropped off Resumes in various offices.  After having been called to several interviews, no one wanted to hire me because I did not have any experience.

I had gone through approximately six interviews before I went to your office.  When Mr. Raymond interviewed me, just like all the other employers, he told me “We will call you”.

I remember talking to Mr. Raymond and asking if he was the person who would make the decision to hire me and he said “no”.  I asked if I could meet the person who would make the decision and he introduced me to You.

After talking to You for few minutes, You indicated You needed someone with work experience.  I remember asking aloud “How Am I going to get experience if no one wants to hire me?” 

At the end of our conversation, I offered a proposal.  “Please let me work in your office for one week without pay.  If you are not satisfied with the work I do, I will leave.”  You hired me the next day.

I worked in your office for five years before I moved to Puerto Rico.  After the devastation from Hurricane Hugo, I went back to New Jersey and you gave me a job, even though I always thought you did not need another employee.  I worked for you another four years before I moved to Florida.

Mr. Rosenberg, THANK YOU so much for giving me that first opportunity!!

It is now 25 years of good memories ...

As always, I will keep You in my prayers and in my heart.

God Bless, 

When was the last time you paid $14.99 for a Video Game System??

I came home today to find a weekly ad from Radio Shack.  While browsing through it, I found out they are selling ATARI Video Game Systems for $14.99!!

I'm sure it is not the 'real' thing as years ago, but WOW!  This brings back memories.  My first thought was:  "Where will I find games for it?"  Well, apparently the system comes with 20 built-in games, including the wriggly "Centipede"!!

This is so awsome!  I think I will go buy one, just for the heck of it!! - LOL

Playtation 3 - $600

X-Box 360 - $400

ATARI - $14.99

Memories ... well ... you know the rest - LOL

MY  HERO!! - LOL
