WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 12

[granmaz]

They are the ones he and Nan posted in the old thread. Plus some great Tyler ones.

When I feel that way inclined I mean to go though our old ohotos and get some scanned. They should cause some amusement.

Marilyn... if you need to make any more ADR's for your upcoming trip... let me know... the wait time is horrible and I wouldn't want you waiting too long on the phone... I can give it a try for you...

Hi All! Not much going on at home here either. John is cooking corned beef and cabbage and potatoes in the crock pot in BEER. He's using a dark stout and it adds great flavor. We're ready for St. Patrick's Day.

Marilyn and Deborah, do you guys celebrate it over there like we do here?

Ken and Shannon (I know you're away, but you'll see this eventually) how about you guys??? Kathe how about you???

I talked to my brother recently and he told me he finally got a permanent placement on a ship in Corpus Christie, TX. That's great news. Now he'll get paid vacation time when he's off the ship and he knows he has a job to go back to. I'm very happy for him.

Sandi sent us an email update. Tom is living with her Aunt down there (her mother's sister). She said he's doing well. He went back into school and will gratuate in May, he has a date for the prom and he joined the local volunteer fire department. I'm glad to hear that he's making some positive progress.

Hi Deb. Yes, lots of people celebrate St. Pat's here too. The Irish pubs will be packed!

Glad to hear Tom is doing better! Encouraging news

Deborah, I had to laugh about you saying Olivia was like you when you were little...I always worry about Molly dating...I dated TOO Much when I was a teen and I'm very nervous about when she figures out about boys.

I think we all worry that our kids will have our worse habits

Funny thing here is Molly is so much like Paul and I can't stand it in her, but love him so much for it Willie, just like me and I love him to pieces. Not that I don't love Molly of course, I just find some of her traits annoying...it's ok I guess because she isn't loving me at the moment either

Parenting kids who would have thought this is what it would be like

We are in for the night. Quite boring here.

Tomorrow Willie and Paul go to the big track (Infineon) to practice, very exciting. I wish I could go, but Molly and I have Girl Scouts. We are bagging up some travel toiletries for a service project. The girls have been collecting them to give to a local house for families that have kids with cancer. Families get to stay at this house while their child(ren) are sick. It's called JW House http://www.jwhouse.org/

Next week we(girl scouts) are going to cook a dinner for the families that are there. Should be a nice event. We are doing all this in preparation for our bridging, which will be in May over the Golden Gate Bridge. Can't wait for bridging event

Nan I hope I don't cause you any more distress by telling you that the worrying and stress as a parent never stops

Sorry you are missing the excitement of Willie's practice, but sounds like you and Molly have a very worthwhile weekend planned

Hi Kathe!!!

 

[katypop]

I have a medical (prescription related) question for you (don't worry - I will also be calling the Dr on Monday)....

Can anti-depressants cause rage?? Real rage - at just about everyone? Yesterday I could feel the blood pumping through my system, could feel my blood pressure rising, and my hands were actually shaking. I at one point was even thinking about walking out of work (after talking to my mgr of course). Coworkers, clients, people on the road - every thing was getting at me. Of course then I clench my teeth more, which leads to a sore jaw & headaches.

Thoughts??

Monica Sorry you are going through this and sorry I don't have any answers. Definately talk to your dr. I do know a couple of my co-workers have described the same thing, but for them, it is related to hormones and menopause.

Hi Cheri! Hi Jackie!

I'm looking forward to seeing you both in Sept , but I'm VERY envious of you both right now

Cheri, are you still planning on the B2B? I hope so!

Aaaaw, thanks Michelle. I think we are ok this time, but perhaps another time I will call on you. If we book DVC we get free phone calls from here so that is great for dining. Our friend in Atlanta who is going to be there one of our weeks also picked up a couple for me, and another friend did too. I do have some fantastic friends.

Good Morning All!


Sukie has created a new rule at Eastwood Manor .... "If Ian brings something into the house, that means something must leave the house."


.

At least he didn't make the rule someone must leave

Hi Marilyn! What kind of a day have you had today?

Kathe

 

[granmaz]

Hi Kathe. A very good day thank you. Went to church this morning and that was really nice, then a quick lunch before phoning DVC to book our last 3 nights in October. After that we went off to see our son, daughter in law and little Molly, which was lovely. We haven't seem Molly since the day after Christmas Day and she has changed a lot. She was very cute of course. We had just over 2 hours there and an hour and a half hours travelling each way, so a longish outing.

How about you?

I've worked all weekend, but it has been a very sad weekend. A woman I work with, whom I have known for quite a few years, is having a horrible weekend. Her son was in a horrific car accident late Friday night. The truck he was a passenger in hit another truck head on. He is very bruised but will mend physically...another passenger in his vehicle was killed. So were two young boys, 12 and 13 from the other vehicle. The driver of the truck he was in is charged with all 3 deaths and numerous other charges related to driving under the influence. Both trucks were demolished in fire from the impact. I am so sad for all of them. For the young boys killed in the other vehicle on their way home from a hockey game, for the parents of the young adult killed, for my friend's son who will live with the memory of this terrible night forever, and for the family of the young man who chose to drive while under the influence Why, oh why, can we all not make a difference and stop impaired driving? The message is out there, time and time again. It is just so sad and senseless.

That is so terribly sad Kathe, and how devastating for those involved and the bereaved relatives. Just awful.

Your friend's son's life has changed forever, but he is very lucky to have that life.

Marilyn, sounds like a lovely day! Glad you had a nice visit with Molly, they really do grow and change so much when they're this young, don't they? Sorry you have to travel so far to visit.

Well, I just posted about my weekend...not so good

Yes, he is very lucky to be alive. His mom said she went to see the trucks, and can't believe that anyone survived. Of course she is very thankful her son survived, but very worried about his emotional state. My son used to work with her son a few years ago.They are close to the same age. He will be very upset to hear of this too. I can't believe his mom was able to come to work today, but I think it helped to keep her mind busy.

[granmaz]

Emotionally it is going to be tough isn't it? Poor lad.
