Shelley Fluent passed away on May 24, 2008 while being treated for fungal pneumonia at Cleveland Clinic. She had battled Histiocytosis disease for over 3 years having ongoing chemotherapy for most of that time to suppress the illness. The only way she had a chance to cure it was a bone marrow transplant. She was suppose to have a bone marrow transplant very soon and was going through preparations for the procedure. Unfortunately she fell ill the day after the spaghetti dinner benefit and was hospitalized that Sunday. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts. Her family is going through a very rough time right now. They need all the moral support they can get. Shelley was cremated and they haven't found her final resting place as of yet. Her funeral service was held in Bradford, PA where her and her husband Don is from.
I will post a picture of her as soon as I can find one.

Ghost Hunters/Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Ghost Hunters hit up an old asylum in Weston, WV. I used to live in Elkins which is about forty miles away from Weston. I've driven through there quite a few times. One day I plan on going there to visit. I think that it would be awesome! Jut click on the heading and that will take you to view the episode I'm talking about. It was one of the best Ghost Hunters shows that I've seen so far.
I've always had an interest in ghost hunting. I know alot of people don't believe in spirits, but many do, or else T.A.P.S. wouldn't have a very high ratings and would get axed from SciFi.
Back to work finally...
Well, today will be my first day back to work since I was laid off AGAIN at the end of March. I have had plenty of time on my hands as of late. I haven't really done much of anything interesting, besides housework, yardwork and the such.
Everyone in my household has been sick this past week. We are all doing better now. I've been trying to get everthing done that needs done around here before I get to work tonight. I didn't get everything, but at least almost all my laundry is done and put away.
I spent part of my day brainstorming new story ideas. I don't want to rehash all the overdone things out there already, but sometimes an idea sticks with you 'till you put in in words. It might work, it might not. Only time will tell. I want to write about things that I love to read. But again, a story about a vampire or werewolf has been done so many times that it takes a great imagination to pull of something that doesn't sound regurgitated and overdone. I keep trying out new ideas and start writing stories. I think I try to start things to quickly before I get a more solid idea about what my plot is or where I want to take my characters. Usually the story hits a wall. I get to the point that if I find myself struggling to get through a scene I get frustrated and go do something else for a while. Then I lose interest in the story and never go back to it or leave it sit for months on end before trying again. I get distracted easily. Maybe I have ADD or something, who knows. It's kinda like what I was telling my friend the other day about weight loss.
*Rummages through fridge*
"Man, I really need to go on a diet... WoooOOOOooo! Cream puffs!!"
