A Good Day, Indeed
Today is quite special, as they all are, but this one in particular is one that I especially appreciate. He is not one to make a fuss about himself, or even his big day, but I think he more than deserves a shout out. Stephen, happy anniversary on the date of your birth! Today is every reason to celebrate with tea and cake! Lots of cake. I hope that no matter what, you do something that makes you smile today, and that you celebrate all week long, with cake! In fact, today should be celebrated all month long, by eating all the cake! So much cake! But seriously, Stephen, I…

Another Trip Around the Sun is Always Worth a Celebration!
This day was given to me years after we met. YEARS. I’m talking a good decade, or more. Ridiculous, really. Ha! Many know him as “Red”, while others have come to know him as the “International Man of Mystery”. Regardless, of how you’ve come to know this Bigger-Than-Life personality, please join me in celebrating him today. If you’ve a ginger in your life, tip your hat to her, in honor of Red. He’s a thing for the gingers. Happy birthday, Red. Congratulations on another trip around the sun!

A Good Reason to Raise a Glass
Today we celebrate! Today we raise a glass to Detroit, who has just recently joined the group. If you’re a beer drinker, raise your bottle. If you enjoy a shot of tequila, or whiskey, or whatever, slam it! *cheers* If you prefer to sip a good scotch, raise your glass. Maybe you’re a wino, that’s alright, too! Pour a glass and let’s toast Detroit! Today is his day. All day long. His to own, and his to enjoy! Today is a good day for a birthday! Detroit, thank you for allowing us to celebrate your day. Happy birthday!

An Abby Update
She had her third round of chemo on Thursday. I dropped her off at 830 and picked her up at 5; she was relieved to see me walk into her treatment room. Her white blood cells and platelets were extremely low 3 weeks ago, however, her numbers have improved and she’s back in range. With her numbers where they need to be, the doctor was able to give her the full dosage of 80mg’s of chemo and we can now reduce her prednisone to every other day, instead of daily. Her breathing has improved even more than the last checkup and he’s extremely happy with her progress. She lost 7…

Time Offline
I will be taking off Labor Day, with MtnMan. It’s not often that we have 2 days off in a row, so when we do it’s pretty amazing. We plan to get Abby out of the house and let her have a day for her. She cannot go swimming, but maybe we can let her do some bird hunting, if she feels up to it. We are going to let her decide. I will be online for the weekly VNALive show Monday night at 11p EST, and I do hope to see you all there. Tuesday will be the ONLY day that I am on lonestarangel.cammodels.com because Wednesday morning I…

VNALive “News”
UPDATE: “A Texas court granted on Thursday a preliminary injunction to Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and its co-plaintiffs, blocking the Texas Attorney General from enforcing the state’s controversial anti-porn age verification law while the case is litigated.” (reference: XBiz.com/news) I am sure you’ve been hearing about the new “anti-porn” laws that are going into effect in certain states, which is forcing the online world to jump thru even more than we already do. Starting in September, Texas is joining Utah and Louisiana in blocking all porn sites, unless you verify your identity. Obviously, with VNALive you have never been required to do so, because you can be a member of…

An Update: Our Favorite Golden
You guys are absolutely amazing. Thank you to everyone that continues to check on our girl, and those who have sent a lot of well wishes and happy thoughts. We really do appreciate you! She had her second round of chemo on Saturday. I dropped her off at 830 and picked her up at 3; she was delighted to see me. Her white blood cells and platelets are extremely low. She was within range (9.29 and 288) for her first treatment. Today she is 2.32 and 85 but he is not concerned at this time. They gave her 80mg’s of chemo 3 weeks ago and today only 50mg’s because the…

Have You Heard??
I’m always open to suggestions and/or ideas, and this one came in from Detroit. So, here it goes.. I’m going to list 3 bands/songs and you tell me whether you’ve heard of them, or not. If you have not, give it a listen and tell us what you think. In turn, you list 3 bands/songs and so on.. John Williamson – True Blue : if you join me on Monday’s you will recognize his voice. Ruth B. – Lost Boy : MtnMan suggested her many, many years ago, and I just absolutely love her voice. Audra Mae & the Almighty Sound – The Real Thing : I accidentally stumbled across…

“Our Favorite Golden” – An Update
This is a hard thread for me to post, but one that I feel needs to be made. It is truly amazing how many of you have reached out to me, asking about our girl. I tell her quite often that she is internet famous, and in the last week that has been proven to be true. There is so much love for Abby, who one of my guys affectionately refers to her as “our favorite golden”. When we got home a week ago Sunday, Abby didn’t celebrate our homecoming and didn’t eat for 2 days. She also wasn’t talking and her breathing was labored. Our vet couldn’t get us…
