Dax's Journal

[myhandd]

Hey guys,

Long time no see! Disney Enthusiastic thanks for coming by, always nice to get a new Wish friend!

Well folks to continue the never ending saga of telephone man, I will be attending yet another training class on telephone repair in Nashville this week. Will last 4 days and I will learn a bit about DSL which I am really stoked about.

Also, in other news, I have a 15 year h.s. reunion tonight. For my regulars you will recall my other comments about this reunion. Get this, they asked for a family picture to include in a book they were gving out. We took one right before I went to pole climbing school and let me tell you, I was looking gooooood! (As was my family!) We sent the picture to my friend who is on the committee in plenty of time for publication. 2 nights ago, she called my wife and said that somehow the publisher put our spot in the book but failed to get our picture in there. It's a big blank! I am considering legal action against the publisher, reunion committee, the postal service, and anyone else I can think of!!!!!! (just kidding).

Well I'll hope to let you all know how the reunion goes before I leave Sunday night!

Bye,

The incredible shrinking one!

Dax

Oh Dax,

Well, I say, get a bunch of color copies made- get some glue sticks, and just set up a little table right next to where they are giving out the books. Have them stop by your table, a few swipes of the glue stick- turn to your blank page and slap that picture right in there. All fixed!

Have a great time at the reunion tonight!

 

[myhandd]

Well well,

I had a blast at my reunion! Everyone was so friendly. The crowd was quite a bit smaller than at the 10 year but the quality was great. We graduated 292 and I bet about 60 came but we had a blast.

Later,

Dax

Glad you had a good time Dax. Sorry to hear about the photo snafu, but just think, in the next 5 years how even better you are going to look and your family too! So I think come your 20 year, you'll wow them even more!

Good luck with the upcoming DSL school!!!

Dax, hope the training went well last week! I also hope you didn't have too much trouble finding Atkins-friendly food while there. Those continental breakfasts were NOT meant for us low-carbers!!

Glad to hear you had a great time at your reunion!

Hope today is a wonderful day!

Hello everyone,

Well things haven't been going well on the old diet. I am in major stress eating mode what with the possible strike for Bellsouth and everything so, I have made my mind up to get back going tommorrow. I have gained a few pounds but no a tremendous amount!

If you don't hear from me again for awhile I will be working from 7 am to 8 pm trying to replace my striking workforce. I really hope it doesn't come to that. Say a little prayer that CWA and Bell work it out before midnight tommorrow!

Well I'll catch everyone later,

Dax

Hi, Dax! Thanks for posting in my journal. Yes, I live in Mississippi. I am not originally from here but I have lived here for over half of my life now. My grandfather is from here so I have family here. I have lived in several places in NE Mississippi. Before I got married, I lived in Pontotoc. When I got married we lived in Tupelo for a few months. Now we live in Mantachie about 15 min. from Tupelo. I work in Tupelo and attend the community college in Tupelo. So, you may be pretty familiar w/ my location. It is nice to know of someone else who has been here...lol. Thought I was out in the "back woods" all by myself.
I also had a chance to read your latest post and wanted to say good luck with everything. I will be praying for you. I hope everything works out for you!

Hey Dax,

I will keep my fingers crossed that everything works out ok for you and that a strike is avoided.

 

[Desiree]

Hoping also that the strike is avoided. That would be a mess. You can and will get back on track!! We're all rooting for you!

 

[Desiree]

Oh I mentioned in my thread, but just in case you don't look there, if your friend needs any help or recommendations with the move, just let me know! (I'll convert him to be a Tiger fan in no time flat!) heh heh heh heh

 

[myhandd]

OK folks, the prayers were answered...No Strike!!!!!

If you can't tell I am a little excited...!!!!!!!!

Alright my regular readers will remember that I completed climbing school. What that means is that yes I can climb, however, once I get up the pole, fixing the trouble is another thing altogether!!!!

Be glad for the sake of you internet and phones that I am not your cable repairman....

Gotta run!

Dax

Hey Dax,
Glad to hear that the strike was averted! I bet that is a load off of your mind, huh?

Have a great week!

Tracy

 

[myhandd]

Today was the first day back on Atkins full bore no cheating!! I had 5 hotdogs for breakfast and 5 for lunch. For supper I will be having 5 hamburger patties with cheese and ranch dressing!

I hope everyone is doing well.

Later,

Dax

 

[Desiree]

Wooo back on track!! You sound really motivated! Good deal! You still getting your basketball playing in?

 

[DoeWDW]

Dax is back!!! WOO HOO!! Welcome back to Atkins!! Don't forget your veggies, though! Man was never meant to live on meat alone.....LOL!!

Glad to hear the strike was averted. I'm hoping that work is going well, and your wife, son and new little princess are doing well.

Have a great day!

Hey everyone,

Long time no post huh? Well so much is going on. Olivia (the baby) is doing fine although she is stopped up all the time. Not a cold though seems to be allergies, although the docs say babies don't get allergies till later....I dont know.

I started Grad school this week at Murray State. I am going for my MBA. I am taking ECO500, which is macro and micro economics rolled into one.

Gotta go baby is crying!! be back later!

Dax

 

[DoeWDW]

Dax, best wishes on your econ class! Not an easy subject but I always found it interesting!

I do hope little Olivia is feeling better soon! I always feel so helpless when I see a sick baby.

Have you been asked to help with repairs in Florida?? I heard they were sending crews from all over the country!

 

[Desiree]

Hope the little one is feeling better Dax! It's hard when they can't tell you what hurts! I hope the docs can get the allergies under control real soon. It's bad to have that problem at such a young age. I know all about allergy problems!

I replied to your post in my journal about the game. Sorry UK didn't fare so well. You hit the nail on the head about basketball season!

OH, I meant to tell you! I'm going to be an extra in the upcoming movie "Glory Road" that's filming here in Louisiana. It's starring Josh Lucas and I'll be in the crowd scenes at the championship game! It's about the first black starters that won a NCAA National Championship! I'm really excited about it! I was also an extra in Everybody's All American when it filmed down here also. It's alot of sitting but it should be fun!

 

[wilderness01]

Hope the baby is feeling better.
