Hi Ralph,
Thanks for visiting my blog “Blogging Baby Boomer”. Like I said, I appreciate it.
Your blog looks good. My blog is new and I just started blogging.
Thanks for this post “25 things you didn’t know about Ralph”.
I now know a bit about you because of this post.
You’re welcome to visit my blog again. I will certainly visit this one.
Maybe I’ll see you at Dean Holland’s blog too.
Enjoy your weekend.
Hi Deana–Thanks for stopping by–Dean’s class has been great and his new book on blog setup is chock full of good ideas including the videos. Have you tried article writing to promote your blog? As you can see I use EZA–great site.
Talk soon,
Ralph
Hey Ralph,
#2 Wow, I’ve only lived in one house my whole life up to now! And before you ask, Yes! I haven’t been able to afford to move out of my parents house yet! I’m quite happy where I am though
#5 and #6 I’m a big game console head myself, I’m planning on getting a PS3 soon. PS2 is still entertaining enough for now though.
#13 I love the movie Goodfellas too, I thought Casino was quite good too.
#14 “Funky Monkey” A very fun & unique name for a cat, I like it though! Why not add a picture of your cat to this post, I would love to see him/her. I’m a big cat lover, mine recently passed away.
#17 Tell me about it, my sense of direction is virtually non-existant..lol
Great list of 25 things about you, Ralph. You can find my 25 things on my blog, it’s a couple of posts down at the moment. Or you can use the search function.
Now that I know you better, maybe we can visit each others blogs more often? I always try my best to visit and return comments on my commentators blogs, just stop by and leave me a comment now and then if you’re up for it.
Paul.
hey – you didn’t mention Emmie…. your adorable lasapoo!!! (i’m telling her you snubbed her on your 25 things the next time we see you guys…. give your soulmate a hug from me
Ralph, please tell me you still are a Republican!! Let’s not get too political, but if you want Goverment Healthcare and wonder how it’s gonna be……check out the DMV and see how well they do things, or how ’bout ‘Cash for Clunkers’?!?!? Or better yet, 16 y/o kids can get abortions without telling their parents, but can’t get a tooth filled without their parents there at the dentist office!! What’s wrong with THAT picture??? K, now, I am done with that rant!!
I love Guitar Hero, but can’t play worth a darn so the kids make me SING!! Can’t sing either, but I know the words so they give in!
We got the Netflix, but we play it on the XBox 360. Pretty cool!
Glad you wrote about you!
Great blog, you always have awesome content here!
See you at SWM!!
Lisa~
P.S. What is an Arnold Palmer???
Hi Ralph.
Good to get to know you via your 25 things post.
Just thought I’d drop by and say thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. Appreciate it.
Feel free to leave some keywords you are trying to rank for in your blog comment anchor text so you can actaully rank for those terms. Your call though.
Peace
Al.
Thanks Paul! Need that PS3 for the Bluray player, too! Nice idea about the kitty pic–just was in a hurry so I’ll find one
Take care,
Ralph
Kathy:
That would have to be number 26 then! Love my little doggie! Thanks for stopping by!
Ralph
Lisa: Always something interesting going on around here….Oh I do try to stay away from the political stuff these days since most folks have their heels dug in and don’t want to even be open minded for a minute–I’m just trying to keep an open mind but agree with you about govt run healtcare being a non-starter.
Arnold Palmer is half lemonade, half iced tea–very refreshing!
Ralph
Alex: Thanks for the tip about keywords in the comment section–see number 25–THANKS A BUNCH!
Best regards,
Ralph
Ralph
Great post, I like number 4, nice way to start driving!!
5&6 – a good console is great, and I think I must have owned practically 90% of consoles ever released, sadly don’t have the time to play as much these days…
Totally agree with 23, although technically it probably should have been 24!!
Keep up the good work
Tom
Tom Harvey–Lets see I had one of the original Pong consoles, an Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 (loved that Missile Command!) and later the original what was it–8 bit Nintendo system. Neve had the Genesis or Saturn…did have Commodore 64 and the Tandy TRS-80, I think it was called. Tech memories!
Best, Ralph

Hi Ralph!
I’m glad you got it done. Finally. Better late than never, right? I am also lost without my NAV system. Yeah. That would be my wife, Flo. I get lost driving down the to the corner store. I have no sens of direction. I should probably get a GPS system actually.
Great post. By the way, you don’t look old enough to have been married 20 years. I’m at 10 myself, and looking forward to 30 more. I wish the same for you my friend.
All the best,
Ed
