Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
*Grab your current read
*Open to a random page
*Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
*Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

  “Up against that wall, all of you!  The visitors hesitated, thinking maybe some tasteless practical joke was being played.

  As most of you know, I am not computer savvy, so I am asking a question for those who have expertise and/or experience with FeedBurner.  I set everything up…at least I think so…approximately 2 weeks ago.  I know that some have signed up to receive my newsletter/post via email but there has been no delivery.  I was under the impression, once everything was checked off….time, style, etc etc….that it would be automatically sent.  Am I missing something?  Am I doing something wrong?  HELP !!!! (lol)  When I first understood a little about blogging, I would question those that didn’t have a newsletter because I love my morning routine, which consists of my coffee and reading the newsletters….and I have to say because of those annoying emails I sent out….lol…some experienced bloggers started their own newsletter subscription.  And here I am not being able to get my postings out.  Would appreciate any help, suggestions, etc.  Thank you in advance.
MY Photobucket JOURNEY  Update
  The surgeon’s office called yesterday and as soon as I saw caller ID…good thing I had my reading glasses on…..to prepare myself for the next stage of this journey….the palpitations set in….I am thinking.. this is it…the journey is really starting!!  After stating who was calling…already knew…..the next question was…”You are definitely going to have this surgery…right”, thats what you have decided because there is a lot of pre-op procedures that have to be booked and completed, OR needs to be booked (which she was booking after we hung up)….her question did not allay any feelings I was having at that point…matter of fact…it made the anxiety even worse….WTG booking secretary.  Good thing I had my steno pad close at hand…wrote a novella as to what has to be done.  And I thought…this is going to cut into my blogging time…lol…but will be able to read even more with all the pre-op appointments…EKG, lab work, physical and donating my own blood on a few visits.  One positive is that I will be starting the med Chantix later today after I see my PCP and getting a script…as I hang my head in admission and shame….I am a smoker……but after today that will change.  Oh yea…the item that caused the most palpitations…the dates of surgery…and the length of time I will be under anesthesia 2 days in a row….3-4 hours minimum each day….April 5th (Monday) and 6th (Tuesday)….geez….I am going to miss out on my daily memes that I look forward to……wonder if they will let me take my laptop into the OR to at least participate in my memes before they put me under…lol.   I am trying to find the positive and anything that I can find amusing in all of this to get me through.  But I am lucky and blessed as I have the support of family, friends, and even my new blogger friends…that is overwhelming and fills my heart…..all I can say is Thank you….  Oh, one more thing,  will send out an alert for breaking news…just like I get from CNN  lol.
