A final reminder: win guns!

I’ve written several times before about the fundraiser we’re holding for Andi, a friend in Colorado who recently suffered a stroke.  You can read more about her here.  Pictures of the guns and other prizes on offer may be seen at Old NFO’s blog, here, here, here and here. Here’s Andi with her husband and… Continue reading A final reminder: win guns!

A reminder of our fund-raiser for Andi, with great prizes to be won

I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago.  A group of Blogorado attendees, including yours truly, have come together to raise funds for our friend Andi.  She’s had a stroke, and is facing massive medical bills for her treatment and rehabilitation therapy.  Details are in my first post, and you can read more about… Continue reading A reminder of our fund-raiser for Andi, with great prizes to be won

Overhead presses and “hinge points” – I have a problem!

One of the exercises I’m doing as part of strength training is the overhead press (sometimes called the “military press”, or simply “the press”).  Here’s how it works.  (No, I’m not lifting nearly as much weight as shown in the video!  I’m just a beginner!) I’m following that instruction, and doing the overhead press at… Continue reading Overhead presses and “hinge points” – I have a problem!

A reminder: there are some great guns available in our fundraiser for Andi

I wrote about our fundraiser last week.  Briefly, a member of our Blogorado family, Andi, has suffered a stroke, which was misdiagnosed initially, leading to complications.  She doesn’t have medical insurance, and is having to fund her rehabilitation on a pay-as-you-go basis.  Several of us have pooled our resources by donating guns from our personal… Continue reading A reminder: there are some great guns available in our fundraiser for Andi

A friend could really use our help, please

Some members of our Blogorado “family”, including yours truly, have come together to raise funds for our host’s daughter-in-law, who recently suffered a stroke.  We’ll let Farmgirl tell the story. My sister in law, Andrea (everyone calls her Andi) suffered a stroke in mid August. Unfortunately, it wasn’t diagnosed correctly for two weeks, delaying treatment… Continue reading A friend could really use our help, please

I need Web site design help, please

I’m finally taking steps to set up my own Web site.  This blog will continue, of course;  but I’ll probably move hosting to my own Web site, and add more writing-oriented and commercial features as well.  (If you aren’t interested in those, the blog will continue as always, so you don’t need to worry.) I’d… Continue reading I need Web site design help, please

Are you interested in reading more?

I wrote last Saturday about the Catholic Church’s proposal to excommunicate mafiosi in Italy, and commented that it wouldn’t work.  I was challenged in a comment to that article by fellow blogger Dad29 (whom I’ve known about for years in cyberspace via his blog, and I’m sure he’s a sincere, committed Catholic).  He felt that… Continue reading Are you interested in reading more?

The competition is getting fierce!

A few weeks ago, I appealed to you, dear readers, for your support for my Western novel ‘Brings The Lightning‘ in the Conservative-Libertarian Fiction Alliance‘s Book of the Year contest for 2017. For several weeks, I was quite a long way ahead of the rest of the field.  However, in the past couple of weeks,… Continue reading The competition is getting fierce!

Readers, I need your help – pretty please?

I was happily surprised to find that my first Western novel, ‘Brings The Lightning‘, has been nominated for the Conservative-Libertarian Fiction Alliance‘s Book of the Year contest for 2017. This nomination came completely out of the blue, and needless to say, I’m very pleased by it. Here’s where you come in.  Those nominated depend on… Continue reading Readers, I need your help – pretty please?
