My husband has migraines too. They definitely stink. He has found Excedrin helps. I think it's the caffeine. Hope you find relief.<br /><br />Blogging is such an interesting phenomenon. I too enjoy how it allows me to know other people's lives more intimately. I love what you said about the whole goal-keeping thing.Sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353317337049515497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29724538.post-21694392401683577972009-08-09T22:17:00.728-07:002009-08-09T22:17:00.728-07:00BTW, FelixandAva, I don't envy your work sched...BTW, FelixandAva, I don't envy your work schedule situation. That' just gotta be tough -- and not just for church! That affects your every-day life!<br /><br />Sylvia, friend, it's YOU who got me introduced to blogging. I have thought of that chain of events often, and am grateful for that. And yes, my interest in this online discussion world started way back when.

I don't have a hate relationship, largely because I have walked away from the most frustrating sites, but I no longer feel the drive to blog that I once had. <br /><br />To everything there Papa Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704974609266088416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29724538.post-48721663252725950052009-08-08T08:36:58.836-07:002009-08-08T08:36:58.836-07:00I know what you mean about blogs and the love/hate...I know what you mean about blogs and the love/hate relationship with them. For me though, the love far outweighs the time it takes.

And yes, it's been a hard headache summer for me too.

I do sympathize with that problem.FelixAndAvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599205574241388362noreply@blogger.com
