Iam so sorry to hear about that poor family. What a tragedy!

Just got home from baseball practice...yes, it's 11:15 pm.

I took little brownie cups with frosting in the team colors and star shaped sprinkles (for All Stars)...they were a big hit.

The Coach's daughter is still critical, but holding steady. We found out that there were at least 5 kids involved, but we don't know who the others were at this time.

I'm going to bed and may sleep till noon...........

They have had a product in 'test market' in Orlando for about a year, called "Jeckyl & Hyde", a 2-part 'shot' liquor similar to Jaegermeister... now its being released in all of FL... I'm sure this will expand in the near future.

Also, there's Spykes, a single-serve 'shot' that is made to be an additive to beer, or can be used in other ways... (Sea World has this already)... it comes in Chocolate, Spicy Lime, Hot Melon, and Mango (something... can't remember what the Mango one is...) The chocolate one is REALLLLLLY good!!!

Also, Bud just completed the purchase of Rolling Rock, AND is now the exclusive distributor for Harbin, an Asian beer, Tiger, a Phillipine beer, AND Monster Energy Drinks.... all in the past 30 days... so... we're a little busy.

Spicy Lime - a reason to return to Sea World?

Thanks for the update....

Busy? I should say so.....must remember to read the business section more often////

Good morning, everyone!

Had some big storms in metro Atlanta last evening. When I saw them coming, I unplugged the computer! We need the rain so badly; just wish it didn't have to come so violently!

Must work today - the only *negative* of my job. I've got to be available when the Study participants are available (usually evening and weekends).

Hope everyone has a GREAT day!!

Amanda, please check in with us and let us know how you're doing, OK?

I think I might be back with the living. Felt like c__p this morning, fever and aches and... I never get sick like that. Even went to the Dr. I have to say, my daughter is a sweetie. She poked her head in the bedroom several times today, to see if I needed anything. She even made me lunch. Isn't it nice when they get old enough to be considerate occasionally?

Diana,

I hope you're feeling better today.
Your daughter sounds very loving.
Get some rest and more TLC!

Bad news at the ball field today. We found out that last night, the daughter of Jared's (regular season, not All Star) coach was in a terrible car accident. Her friend was killed, and the coach's DD is in critical condition and may not make it. He coached the team Jared scrimmaged against last night. I can't imagine. Both girls went to Jordan's school, but she didn't know them very well.[/QUOTE]


Stacey,

So very sorry to hear this tragic news. I will be praying for the family and friends. Please keep up posted, if you are able.

I hope you are able to sleep in today.

How about a pun?

A TALE OF TWO ROBINS

Two robins decided to leave their tree to find some lunch. They found a freshly tilled patch of land that was crawling with worms. They quickly gobbled up as many of the worms as they could. Before long, they grew tired and decided to lie down in the warm sun. Soon, a large cat came along and ate both of them. As he finished, the cat thought, "I just love baskin' robins."

Funny, thank you for the laugh, Kevin!

For a minute there, I was reminded of myself on the ship........

Irene, Sam should be home by now from his Nekton dive trip. Where are the details?

Last night Sharon and I were talking about diving Nekton and it occured to me that I should have told him to take port. After the night dive nothing is better than a glass of port. I hope he took one of his 5 bottles of port.

U- T.O.P. with Jim, Sharon, Irene, Sam and his port!!!

This morning I was cruising the main threads.....I know, but I did not post anything so I did not get in trouble.

Instead I found these cool socks in the Wish Thread. I had to order a pair, after all they are lime green!

 

[justmestace]

I'm at a loss this morning. (Looks like Jim is, too!)

I don't have to be anywhere until 4 p.m. and I don't know what to do with myself.

hi everyone. I just wanted to first express my grattitude for the wonderful words and encouragement that everyone said. Susan and Garry you expressed your points so beautifully, and to sit hear and read *everyones* heartfelt words, well lets say an emotion girl became even more so.

The update is, I was holding on to small hope that a good Samaritan had my wallet and was trying to get intouch with me. That glimmer of hope was gone, after I called my CC companies. Apparantly the cash was not enough for the thieves. They used my CCs that day!!! The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that I was pick pocketed. We all know how crammed a subway can get, and I am the type that if someone bumps into me, I am the first to say sorry thinking it was my fault. Not even thinking that someone could be out to harm me. In that way I am very naive. I never realize or stop to think that there are people out there, whose sole intent is to cause damage to others.

My husband has been awesome thru this. He tells me that what is done is done, and I cant undo it. Yes, he is disappointed about the amount lost but he, like you all,says that it was just money and there are worse things that can happen. I love this man, he is my rock and I am blessed with him.

I think I am my own worst critic, and if I can just forgive myself it will be okay. I went and had my license replaced yesterday. That was actually alot easier and faster than I ever imagined ti would be. On the way back to work, I started feeling sorry for myself again, and a business had a sign up that read " Stop and take joy in the fact taht you are loved" ....WOW It pulled me out of my funk rather quickly!


I also neglected to to you all in my OP about the experience I had on the day I first noticed my wallet missing. On my 4th trip back to the subway, when I was looking in the trash cans around the subway, I had an interesting experience that still brings me to tears as I typr this. One of the trash cans was at a bus stop. There was a homeless man there who had asked me how my day was going. Normally, I side step unknown people because I work in Downtown Columbus and you can never be to sure about safety. Well on this day, obviously I was distraught. I told him what was going on. He asked if I had been back to Subway, and I told him I was on my way back. When I left Subway again, he asked if I had any luck. I told him no. He looked at as sincere as can be and said "Listen sugar, A nice Christian fellow up the road just gave me $15. I cant give it all to you, but I can give you $5." Here this fellow was with **NOTHING*** absoulutely nothing....and he offered to give me $5!!!!!!To him $5 hurt as much as what I lost hurt me. It touched me so much. I declined and told him I appreciated his offer. I told him it meant a lot to me, but that luckily I had people I could go to for help, and I was thankful for that. I asked his name. He said "JEFF" and that he just moved to Columbus a few months ago and had fallen on hard times. Then he said, I get $$ from the Army once a month, if you still need help on the 1st of the month I can give $100! OMG I almost lost it all over again. I thanked him for his kindess, again declined and told him I had better keep looking for my belongings. He said, " If you change your mind, see those trees up there? about 3 blocks? I have been sleeping under those trees for the past coupla weeks, and that is where I will be on the 1st" ...
Now I dont know if that story touches you all as much as it has me, but if you could keep this kind soul in your prayers I would appreciate it. Everytime I get upset with myself about how much I lost I think about Jeff.
My co worker thinks that was a message from God. I believe she is right. I try to remember this. It is not easy. So sorry to babble on, I jsut thought I would share, because I think of this man with nothing. offering $5 to a stranger when he has nothing. Well I just dont know how to end this so I will stop now. Something to think aobut though eh?
