Donnie - when you gonna get that golf cart off the grass?

 

[ftwildernessguy]

Kungaloosh,,,,,,,,,,,, The cure all for all your ailments. I'll try and be a good boy next week when we're at the 4th GG. I'm gonna hire Gatordad to keep an eye on me lol.

I'm not gonna say Kungaloosh cures everything, but it sure puts a dent in it, and if you have enough, you don't care about the stuff it doesn't cure.

I'll bet he has quite the collection of "No Parking on the Grass" warning tickets from Mean Gene!! But I guess that trumps having a laminated picture of Al in your 5'er!!!

You are just jealous because I have 24 hour security.

Pfftt!! I have 24 hour security, too! A gate that any vehicle could easily run down, and old guards getting paid $9/hour to sleep on duty. Now THAT's what I call Se-Cur-Ity!!

my guard comes with machine gun, and beer.

I was with my aunt today when she finally got her call from the Dr. The MRI was normal. Still no word on the seizure and why it happened but at least this part is over and she can finally quit worrying she has tumors or something uncurable. Her mood changed quickly and a lot of stress was taken away. Thanks again for those who gave us their thoughts and prayers.

Finally, some good news here!

That is great news! I know that when you find out things aren't as bad as you expect it does completely change your mood. I'm very happy for you and your aunt. Here's to good health!

Whew!!! That's a relief!! Let's hope it was just serious heat prostration & nothing else. I had another thought Donnie. Is she on any kind of blood pressure medication? I know Ziac in particular has a warning (in tiny letters) to avoid long periods of time in the sun. I was on that med for about 6 months and had some rotten side effects from it.

Nicole- How is Jim progressing? If you have time - give us an update please!

Now, has anybody heard anything from Jen?

Well, at least the beer part is true!!

Your guard was weaponless when his unit was activated and sent to guard the perimeter of Ground Zero in the days following the 9/11 attack. Admittedly, it was not his decision not to carry a weapon, but I was appalled that the Army Nat'l Guard was sent to protect that area and were not allowed any weapons!

(Psst....Don't tell Al, but his little sister lost a lot of sleep & shed some tears over that one until she knew he was safe and sound and back home. He did call me as much as he could to let me know what was going on. He really is a great big brother, but I'd never let him know that! )

And that is the logic of the government in action. Only one thing more frustrating - to be issued a weapon but no ammunition and told to guard something. I guess you could always throw it at someone, ala the old Superman series.

It was a state activation at first and the decision was made by Gov Pataki and Mayor Giuliani - we also couldn't use the term Ground Zero - it was always the zone - also weren't allowed to have cameras. A lot of strange decisions were made. Giuliani made a reputation based on his performance at the WTC - if the reputation was positive, it wasn't deserved. The real heroes in my opinion were the NYFD.

When the activation became federal all officers and senior NCOs were issued weapons.

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I never really liked the reference to the twin towers as ground zero. It was confusing, since Trinity site as referred to as ground zero for over 50 years and subsequently, any area directly below a nuclear blast was called ground zero for planning purposes. By the way, Trinity is still radioactive after all these years - I was there about 8 years ago on an exercise.

Now, has anybody heard anything from Jen?

I got a text from Jen's hubby last night saying she had been a very bad girl and I must call her immediately

She'd had a bit of a hard time health wise and got pretty darn ill last night. She was forced against her will to go to the doc and now has lots of drugs with names she can't pronounce, but they will make her better by the fojgg!!!!

 

[PolynesianPixie]

Absolutely impossible to get caught up. I am using laptop on batteries that are fading fast, at a WIFI hotspot at Crockett's Tavern at the Fort (no, I am NOT trying to rub it in). I just wanted to post that I miss you guys. Honest to God.

Yeah...sure....

I also got some good news on the job front while I have been here. I was contacted the other day by a recruiter from Microsoft, and I have an initial phone interview scheduled for Monday the 30th after we return from vacation. Wish me luck folks.. for me, working for Microsoft is my dream job.
...

Best of luck to you!!!!!

???!?!?!???​

Ok...do ya'll think the DISboards are cursed????Since Ive been a member(10 months)....no less than 6 people have lost their jobs, a dozen or more have had some serious injuries and/or illness, another half a dozen have family member illness....and poor John has had ALL OF THE ABOVE AND a personal visit from SATAN HIMSELF practically!!!!

Ha! I don't think its cursed. I think this stuff is going on all over right now. I'm just thankful that we have each other for support!

We spoke to a couple of lawyers today, and NOPE, we sure wont be profitting from her pain....all she can get is paid medical bills and lost wages....and only 66.66% of her average REPORTED income at that!!!!

Rog, I'm so sorry you and Gina are stuck in this mess! Its bad enough that she has to deal with the pain of her knee! Unfortunately, you can't take for granted that anyone else will be fighting for her, you will have to be her advocate. I hope she gets everything she deserves!!!!!!

With all the surgeries, illness and broken appendages on here lately I just thought I would share something positive.

About a year ago, I posted a thread about prayers for a fellow camping family. That family is my DB, DSil and DNephews. My Dsil was just diagnosed for the second time in a year, almost to the day with leukemia. We had to cancel a family trip to the fort to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. Dsil underwent a bone marrow transplant and had some really rough times. We are approaching the year mark again and I have got to say the power of prayer and well wishes from everyone has worked. The doctors say the bone marrow is doing what it is supposed to (it is her sisters). This October we will be taking that trip with my parents, DB and family and DSis and family. We are now in vacation mode and getting all our plans made. Can't wait to take my 2 nephews to the Magic Kingdom for the first time!

What wonderful news!!!!!! I just know that will be a trip of a lifetime!

that gatordad sucks, all he does is make sure all glasses are always filled.

You could earn some good tips that way!
