A Journey of 10,000 Steps....
Google Maps has yet another great feature: an accurate pedometer!
With the
GMaps Pedometer, you can trace your route and figure out how far you've walked. Even for
crazy paths. And there's a calorie counter, too!

F*ck
Worst
news I can think of. I think I'll go have a little sympathy cry for my friend now.
Why is it that crackwhores can pop out 85 healthy kids just by sneezing but someone who desperately wants to have their own child and will care for it better than most can not?
I love you, hon and if you need ANYTHING, let me know, ok?
Oh, and Twosday Fun will return next week. I'm just not in the mood today.

It's awful news. I can't even imagine what she's going through and I wish there were something, anything, that would make it better.

It is heartbreakingÂ… My niece and husband have now decided to adopt but I could not believe the RED TAPE involved.

I was physically ill when I read that. I am sick for them. Absolutely sick.

I sent her and email the moment I read that yesterday and said very little. What do you say in that moment?
It's amazing how attached you become to other bloggers and their aspirations and dreams. After reading her post, I cried for her. Big, huge tears of sadness.
I wish hugs and love could be emailed.

So sad. And that baby will always be in her heart. You never 'get over' a miscarriage. Never. Even after 15 or 20 years, you still wonder about that little life - what she could have been, how she would have changed you for the better.

More Map Coolness and a Guessing Game
Have you checked out
Wikimapia yet?
I found it this morning and spent 20 minutes adding the places from my childhood. And, what a treat, the pictures are several years old, so I was able to find this:
This is the place where my darling husband proposed to me. It's a Costco and a Home Depot now. Anyone wanna guess what it was? (hint: the left side is already being demolished, the right side is still intact...) Anyone who ACTUALLY knows the answer (BN, SS, etc.) isn't allowed to play!
h/t Cobb, who put in a lot of cool places, too.

Looks like a four-screen drive-in movieplex.

I have no clue - but, a church or a school?

I'm with McGehee and Beth C...the screens are gone, but the four grassy areas are where the cars parked?

Darn you. Darn you all to heck!
What a time sink. And I've only just begun to label Middleboro, Halifax, and other stuff in the area. At least I noticed some dork had no idea what the famous Powder Point Bridge was called, had labeled it "really long wooden bridge," and I was able to correct it.

It is indeed a Drive In. Not grass, but gravelly, as on the right side of the picture.
Good guesses, all.

Okay now I see it. I didn't know that's where he proposed, but it holds fond memories for Warne rand I too.

All work and no play....

We're off to
La Playa for a couple of days of sun and sand.
Be good while I'm gone, and play nice!

Holy crap you people are creative
I was offline all day yesterday and much of today due to a work excursion, and when I came back, there was a real story in place of the two paragraphs I left!
