You guys are too cute!!!

Steve's aunt died on Sunday. She and her husband had been married for 70 years. They are almost the same person. I adore them!! We are very sad, but she was 95 and called often because she wanted to tell Steve's mom what was going on with her kids when she died. I am sure those 2 are chatting up a storm. I think of her and smile. The only thing I feel really bad about is her sweet husband.

They reminded me of you and Dennis in another 40 years....What a wonderful thing!

70 years wow! That is wonderful that they had so many years together. So sorry she had to go on without him. How would you survive alone after being with someone you adore for that many years? Now you've got me crying.

 

[MrsMork]

Well, look who has become a techy now!

Well, not really. I still don't know how to put music or photos on it myself. That is Dennis' job. I just listen to it!

 

[MrsMork]

We rented RV tonight, picked up some burgers and had dinner and a movie out in our RV. Fun and funny, funny movie. Oh my goodness, that seatbelt is just like ours! It is harder than heck to get it pulled out! DrHug read the rv books though and he will be buying an extra sewer hose tomorrow! I love Robin Williams, well most of his stuff anyway. I did not like Good Will Hunting...So, did I tell you that he did his rehab here in our little town and went to the local church every Sunday while he was here? Very nice man, visited with folks after church, everyone treated him just like any other person. He came for a musical/play thing and complemented the kids on a job well done. That made them feel really good.

Brack and Mike you are the men, thanks for watching out for our girl!!!! If any of you have a sec a postive post might be in order on the EB repo thread.


WE LOVE YOU LISA!!!!!!

wow that's amazing about Robin Williams - how did he end up there?

glad you had fun with the movie - the kids and I saw it at the theater - they laughed quite a bit and still talk about it. maybe we will have to rent it. I liked that scene about the daughter telling him to get lost in the beginning of the movie - too true.

Well, look who has become a techy now!

I know...if Angie is not careful she might actually start to delve into math next!

John and V: Have you seen the new college hoops uniforms from Nike? OSU and Florida are two of the schools sporting the new look. There were rumors that UNC would wear them, too; but I think we're safe so far. Take a look:

I wish they would go back to really short tight shorts!! Remember the Larry Bird days!! Basketball was so much more fun to watch then!!

And by the way the correct way to spell Duke is D-U-K-E, not dook!!!!

 

[becka]

It looks like you guys have been a bit busier around here lately. Our string of bad luck just seems to continue. I really am not sure how much more we can take. We have not had any other major disasters at work but something is up and my boss is acting weird. He gets like this occassionally and it is hard to work under those conditions. I think a storm is brewing. There are still apparently a lot of bad feelings coming from the woman who used to do payroll that we replaced. I don't think I ever told you guys about it but it was almost a year ago that she was taken off the system and we were told we were taking over. She and the HR department were not happy and I think old feelings are surfacing again. It is just really far too stressful.

Other than that we took a trip to the outlaws this weekend and while we were there DD got sick and DS was a nightmare on Sunday. He even decided he was not potty trained that afternoon and ended up peeing all over DH in a gas station bathroom on the trip home. The whole car smelled like pee. Ewwww! As it turns out he was just getting sick. I got the call yesterday to come pick him up because he was running a 102.7 fever! So I am home with him today. He seemed to be doing a bit better but he is still pretty sick.

Of course on top of all of that DH and I also have pretty nasty colds that are draining all our energy and I am developing a nasty case of PMS as well. I was pretty mean to DH last night for no reason at all other than he didn't want to go get me Chinese food last night and I was craving it. Really not a good reason to get mad at him....I hate hormones!

Plus DH got some allergy testing done yesterday as well since he had not had any done for many years. They want to run a second series of tests next Thursday but unfortunately it looks like DH has developed a lot more allergies over the years. I am going to end up being some kind of special short order cook around here. One meal for DH, one meal for DS and another meal for DD and myself.

Other than that we have been great! I feel bad for whining but really this is just getting more and more difficult to deal with. We cannot catch a break it seems. I just want a few days where no one is sick or hurting, no one is having trouble at work, no one is being diagnosed with food allergies, etc.. I just want normal back...is that too much to ask for?

WE LOVE YOU LISA!!!!!!

You know we love you Lisa but what in the heck is going on over there? I am not sure any cruise meet group is worth that much stress.

I am sorry but I grew up in Raleigh and have always been a Tarheel. NO Tarheel can spell that word like you suggested. It is DOOK!

 

[87Heel]

And by the way the correct way to spell Duke is dook!!!!

I believe Brack can back me up on the correct spelling for the brats in Durham. (And now I see he has already posted!)

 

[87Heel]

Becka, for such a rotten run of illness, work problems, allergies, etc.

 

[MrsMork]

wow that's amazing about Robin Williams - how did he end up there?

alcohol - this was just last year

 

[MrsMork]

I know...if Angie is not careful she might actually start to delve into math next!

Now THAT is funny, Becka! Not likely.

Becka, don't feel bad for "whning". We love you and this is a safe place to share your concerns and get people praying for your family.

Thanks Angie! I know I am "whining" but I suppose I would also be "whning" if I knew what it was!

At least I have this thread to always come back to. Just catching up on everyone's lives makes me feel better.

 

[Jhalkias]

John1 hurry up and catch up on BG. I finally am caught up and watched Maelstrom.

Carla, give me about 4 more hours in each day, and give them to me by myself, and I might be able to do it. No one in this house of mine but me likes BG, and I think Sophia is too young for it. She goes to bed at 10:00, so that leaves me between 10 and midnight before I drop!

I'll keep trying though!

Brack and Mike you are the men, thanks for watching out for our girl!!!! If any of you have a sec a postive post might be in order on the EB repo thread.


WE LOVE YOU LISA!!!!!!

Aye, Aye! Done.

We've got your back Lisa!

 

[slindamood]

one of OSU's top recruits goes to our High School? Kosta Koufos. He is a GREAT kid, from a wonderful family, and he is the 7 foot, two inch Greek star of our basketball team. Thad Matta has been here a lot lately in the last two years.

I hope he gets to play with Odem!

We play in the district semi-final Thursday, and hopefully district final on Saturday.

I have heard of him- but did not know he is from your district! What a team you must have Good luck in the tournament - we will be following the team and Kosta for many reasons! go bucks

Sure hope that Odem and the others were watching the Florida game the other day when the announcers gave such favorable tribute to the 4 players who returned for one more year. Get them to thinking about how honorable it would be to return
