However, to each their own.)<\/p>\n<p>Now blogging about your fight with cancer sounds like a depressing subject, but in Minerva of A Woman of Many Parts can only be described as inspirational, in her <a href=\"http:\/\/womanlyparts.blogspot.com\/2005\/09\/to-my-cancer.html\">personal message to her cancer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The author of Entelechy, meanwhile, is confronting a difficult decision: whether to take on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.radhikanair.com\/archives\/2005_09.php#000457\">challenging job helping to look after disabled children<\/a> in addition to her studies.<\/p>\n<p>Turning political, Panthergirl on The Dog&#8217;s Breakfast finds that <a href=\"http:\/\/thedogsbreakfast.blogspot.com\/2005\/09\/weekend-rant.html\">Georgia&#8217;s governor<\/a> seems to think all children live in two-parent families, with one at home. Betsy on her Page says that Americans shouldn&#8217;t be talking about <a href=\"http:\/\/betsyspage.blogspot.com\/2005\/09\/anne-applebaum-thinks-we-should-stop.html\">pork-barrelling, but the spreading of grease<\/a>.
