Anyone remember this day?

when will my sister's start this blogging.. it is just to cool who would have thought that keeping an online dairy could be so fun? Dad got me started just a little over a week ago and it has really consumed me. we have found some site recieved coments onto the hundreds. We also discovered that the earliest bloggers was only just a couple years ago. of course blogging has been around far longer than that; it was simply not called a blog.

Oh, How I Wish I Could Post an Un-Bloggable BLOG

I see where Larry has gotten his BLOG set up to where I can go in here and write anything I want and I can go in and Delete anything I want to or modify any existing BLOG I want to. I think we are truly getting somewhere with this. Do I need to do anything with mine to let you do that there, Larry or is it all taken care of, and is Donna a Member of your Team Yet?? She has joined my Team, but has not posted anything yet. I see you chatted with her tonight, so maybe you filled her in on a few things before Allison got ticked off at you and told you to go and change the girls. I also invited Joj-Jo, Ron, Cyndi, and Faith to My BLOG and Donna and Cyndi to yours. SHould I invite the others as well??
