Internet Island Topic Post 10.00
Internet Island Topic Post 10.00
This is the 10th Internet Island Topic Post.
As has been usual for the past few posts, I give you a selection of topics from which to choose. Since it's my birthday on May 1, and this topic post is going to encompass my birthday, I'd like to see my "Islanders" give me a present. Throughout the "history" of the Internet Island, which was "founded" in November of 2005, the amount of topic entries shrinks even as the amount of Islanders grows. What I want for my birthday is to see most of the members of the Island post a topic entry this time out. I think these topics are good ones, and there should be something for everyone. Visit other Islanders who haven't posted. Let's get the word out and let's all participate!
The Topic Post will last approximately two weeks. Please enter the link or date of your Internet Island Topic Entry for this post in a comment here. If you are creating a link, make sure you link to the page with the "comments" box and not the page with five entries. The purpose of Internet Island Topic Posts is to help get the members of the Internet Island Blogring to exchange comments and get to know each other. Please check back periodically for new entries throughout the two week period. The link for the current entry is always at the top of the page of this blog under the header for easy access. If you post a topic entry, please make an attempt to visit the other Islanders who do so as well. It is also a good idea to post the link to the Topic Entry in your own entry so that other interested parties can come here. You can copy/paste the Topic Post links right here in this entry into your own weblog entry box.)
10.01: "Life is a Journey." It's often been said that life is a journey. What's yours? Where have you been? Where have you lived? You can write about or show us, through photos, your geographical journey, or you can tell us about your educational or spiritual journey, so far, through your life.
10.02: "Birthday Memories." Just because it's my birthday on May 1, I'd like to read about your favorite birthday memory or memories. Was it when you were a kid? Did you have a large memorable party? Your quinceanera or bar mitzfah? Was your 21st the best birthday in your life? Your 30th, 40th. 50th? Do you gauge your life by your birthdays?
10.03: "Winning and Losing." At one time or another, we all win, and we all lose something. Have you ever won anything? This could be literally or figuratively. You could think of having a child or children "winning" a great gift. You could think that having a beloved relative pass on as "losing" someone. Open your imagination, what is your greatest "winning" or "losing" situation. A softball game you helped to make a score for your team. A large cashout in a casino. You dropped your wedding ring down the sink. You totalled your favorite car.
10.04: "Blog your Pet." Most of us have favorite pet stories. I seem to be reading them all the time in different blogs. What is your experience with your pet, or a favored pet in your past life.
YOU ONLY HAVE TO WRITE ONE TOPIC. OR MORE IF YOU WANT. IT'S ALL UP TO YOU!
Remember, the tabs at the top of theInternet Island Blogring Page will "sort" the members by latest post, date joined, and alphabetical Username. Use the ring page to find new Islanders, or older ones you might not have visited in a while. It's OUR Island, and we're a great group of people with different interests, fantastic stories, and wonderful lives, and we have a great deal of love for our fellow man.

I will write on Life Is A Journey in the next couple of days. Thanks for the interesting topic, Judi
Glad to hear that you are thinking your pain away. I have been able to think a lot of pain away and lose weight easily by using this technique. I also have had a couple of diseases just disappear. Judi
oooh there are good ones this time! I have two that I think I will write.
Life is a journey
Here's 10.01 for you. More to come, I'm sure. Great ideas today. Beware - you'll have a lot to read.
heheh

Hi, Mike.
Thanks for visiting Belina. Normally I do post more often. My computer got a worm virus and crashed. We are currently trying to locate someone who can save the data before wiping it clean and starting over. The only time I can get online is when I am at work (like now) or at someone else's computer. I'll be posting more later, as soon as my poor little "pooter" is feeling better.:cry:
Microcosmic (life is a journey)
:lookaround: Hmm, I think Blog my Pet would be fine!!
We are both Taurus...my birthday is May 15th!!!
yeah I can get into this one! Happy Happy Birthday Mike!!!!!:sunny:
I'll choose one of those topics for your birthday, Mike. :shysmile: You've selected some great titles, so there is lots of scope for people to choose from. :goodjob:
I am new to Xanga and just joined your ring, thanks for having me. My blog is a story of my life, I'm starting at the beginning and slowly working my way up. I think its great having topics to write on. Sure gives you food for thought. Happy Birthday!
No time for writing right now Mr.Mike.....
ButI wanted to say hello!!!!!!!!!!!:p
My post is available here. I'm not sure which topic I actually wrote about, but I wrote about at least one of them.
My Blog your Pet is here.
Happy Birthday Mike. I shall be thinking of you.
Kat
Mike,
Great to hear from you. I have to confess that I dropped out of Internet Island regretably for a couple reasons:
1. I was just finding myself spending way too much time here(but I love the time I do spend here) and.
2. Since Jou is now a therapy dog, I have so much to write about regarding our visits that I didn't think I could manage any "extra" topics. However.....I notice that one of your topics is about a favorite pet...:goodjob:!? Oh my, I have plenty of those stories. If you permit me to rejoin, I can either come up with a whole new blog or recycle one of the zillion or so, I have already written. Let me know.
Glad you stopped by.

Hi Mike!

I should join this since Grownups is not doing much these days with Denise not around much. Happy Birthday a little early.
My blog on "Your Pet" is here.
Hope you're having a great birthday!
I'll choose "Winning and Losing" for my topic, Mike. I'll have it ready for Thursday, 4th May. :shysmile:
I blogged about my first memory & it's in my Xanga for today. Kev
mine is here ......... http://www.xanga.com/prettynosyarentu/477211805/my-internet-island-blog-topic.html
I haven't done one of these in awhile. I'm going to tackle 10.1, tomorrow- I'll need to sleep on it
here you go, here's my post.
Peace out and take care.
Autumn
:fun: Happy Birthday Michael! :fun: linka~a~dee~link...
Woops! Sorry about that Mike...I was bone tired when I linked last night...let's try again. Here is my POST! And...Happy Birthday!!! :sunny:
How much do you currently pay for gas?
I did this one, and I'm not too late, I hope! Friday, April 28th. Um, I seem to have forgotten how to do the link, or is the address in a different place? Hmm, I will have to work on that later. At least I have the date for you!
Hi, Mike - I figured out what the problem was with leaving my latest post as a link. I had somehow lost my address bar! I wondered why I couldn't find anything to copy and paste! : ) It took me a while, being the near computer-illiterate that I am, to figure out a fix, especially as the "show" and "lock" buttons were still checked (!) but I think I fixed it! If so, this should be the link to my latest post: http://www.xanga.com/suzyQ_darnit/478114569/item.html
Thanks!
Hi thanks for coming by. I am glad you like my photos. I am just learning to use my camera. I would love to take a class but no time to do that just now so I just have been practicing a lot. Yes it could of been winning and losing. Perhaps I should edit it for my entry. I will write another one. Judi

Post for Life is a Journey
http://www.xanga.com/nessi1
I am really not sure how to link to the post itself rather than the page with the five entries like you mentioned...It is probably quite simple but for some reason I can't think of how. Must be a "senior moment" HELP!!! I made two posts today, one regular and one for the Internet Island.
Anyway, here goes nothing:
My post for Life is a Journey posted today, May 2 is here: (hopefully)
