Oh hey! Look at how cute we are! I, just, got on my computer for the first time in like...hours...and, respond to Ed at the same time Tom does! That's my ESP working again! ;-<>
Do you two know your address? heehee So..it's raining at Shea Stadium...one time we were at Wrigley, tickets for about 10 of us (and the Jayjayk's)...rain delay was called...not one drop fell..and they didn't play! So now it's a steady rain and they are still playing...hope the METS WIN!
Yeah - I'll take it. If you would have told me that they would end up in the LDS at the beginning of the year I would have taken it. They will be back next year pounding on Lou Pinella.
Betty, you are so pretty! Happy Birthday to you! Braden says: Happy Birthday, Betty. I hope you had great presents! I hope you had a great birthday party! Love Braden
Darlene Farrell had hip surgery here in Des Moines on Wednesday. I saw Chuck in mass today and he said she has a staff infection now and so is still in the hospital. Thought you may want to know.
Lonely Lady...there was an article in the Sunday Omaha paper about a woman who was found dead in her home this week...they think she's been dead for a year and a half! She lived in a high rent neighborhood, one block from 3 different churches and shopping...59 years old, she has a brother in town! Go too Omaha.com to read about it...so sad.
She was living in her parents home, they had both died in the 90's...she was a substitute teacher (not in recent years) so no ties to any employer...she was hospitalized in Feb.05 and had stopped her mail then...they think she may have died in March '05...a social worker (notified by the hospital) knocked on her door in April'05 and then assumed she had moved!
A neighbor complained enough times (about the weeds) to the city, so a city employee went to the house this week and went in and was photographing the condition of the house when his camera flash caught something on the couch...it was her body. She had been burning candles (not recently!) and had heated her house with a camper stove. It's SAD...
Garrigan, by virtue of the win last Friday, qualified for the state playoffs for the 3rd straight year. The first game (of 4) will be November 1, location and opponent unknown until after this Friday's games.
duhdaduddadudda we're gonna fight fight fight for garrigan, we're gonna win win win this game. we're gonna show those people that thay can't win when they meet wiht garri -guhuhun.
Joe Jayjack and those that are interested: The BGHS School Song is set to the tune of the, "Washington and Lee Swing," a ragtime classic that was written by the glee club at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. The words are based on the words of the Hawkeye fight song of the University of Iowa. We're gonna fight, fight, fight for Garrigan! We're gonna win, win, win this game! We're gonna show those _________ they can't win when they meet up with Garrigan!
Thanks Nance...I never knew the Iowa Hawkeye part...years ago as I was marching in the band and playing the Washington and Lee Swing, I wouldn't have been as excited if I had known there was a Hawkeye connection...who else played in the marching band? Joe...I once lost the end of my trombone as I was marching on the field!
Monica~ Oh yes...they're great! Did you get my email? I sent it to the new address. Your old email address kept kickin' my message back to me as, "undeliverable." (?) Thank you, thank you, thank you...you rock! :-)
I played in the marching band. I played alto saxophone and tenor saxophone and on one hung over veterens day parade I would like to forget I played the bass drum.
I played clarinet in Jr. High and for about two weeks in high school. I saw an old beat up clarinet at Goodwill a few days ago and got nostalgic for about 1/10 of a second. Geedwill is a good place to get books. You just have to look through all the romance paperbacks until you find a buried 75 cent treasure.
Monica~ Your address that I have used before...sends back messages as, "undeliverable,"...however, the address that you used to forward Eli's photo worked well.
Grace, Karen Laird told us she has your clarinet somewhere in her garage and as soon as she unburies it she plans to give it back so start getting those lips limbered up. I'll send you a Benny Goodman record to get you "In the Mood!"
Eli's a smart guy. I also think humor of any kind (even slapstick) is a sign of intelligence. It has to do with being able to hold two conflicting ideas or wishes or whatever in your head at the same time and enjoying the paradox.
The Notre Dame weekend was great. It was fun to sit with Ed and Frank and the end of the game was awesome. After we walked 10 miles to our car we all went to a little run-down diner called Kitchenette #1 Family Style (Kitchenette #2 Family Style was next door but it was closed.) Sunday we drove down to Grace's where we were met at the door by Tinkerbelle. We brought back a dryer for Joe, whom we will go see this weekend, and a few more chairs for our attic, because we don't have enough.
All I'm sayin' is, I open the blog and see there are more comments and get excited for the fun and then they are not for general consumption. That's all I'm sayin.'
Here's something funny: I have been asked to write a letter of reference for someone applying to a teaching job at Harvard. "Yes, I do believe Scott cuts the mustard. Here here. Give him a go."
Speaking of wild dogs, has anyone ever read My Antonia by Willa Cather? It is SOOOOO good. In the book, a wedding party gets torn apart by a pack of wolves and Pavel must leave Russia because he becomes known as the one who fed the bride to the wolves, which he did, in order to lighten the sleigh and get away.
My favorite time of year. I'm pleased to find that I have my godson, Sean. That means only one gift this year, Sean. No godfather gifts, just one "had-your-name-gift". I'm thinking a Starbucks card. Many Starbucks sell breakfast sandwiches and other things you might enjoy. Plus, I can just pick it up on my way to Whittemore.
Scott, if you're reading, I want a Glock 22 with an olive drab frame for the glove compartment of my car. If you can't get one in time for Christmas in that hippy dippy state of yours, I'll settle for the ear of a terrorist which I will proudly display at Sister Sarahs.

I NEED YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, DIPSHIT!
Uh hem, excuse me, Ed? Ummmm, you have Tom's email address 'cuz it's the same as mine. We're married and live together...remember?
Oh hey! Look at how cute we are! I, just, got on my computer for the first time in like...hours...and, respond to Ed at the same time Tom does! That's my ESP working again! ;-<>
Hey, Tom! Your address changed a couple years ago! It's sistersarahs@earthlink.net
Do you two know your address? heehee
So..it's raining at Shea Stadium...one time we were at Wrigley, tickets for about 10 of us (and the Jayjayk's)...rain delay was called...not one drop fell..and they didn't play!

Hey, Mary...did you get my email?

Wow! Happy Birthday!
Also, birthday wishes to Joe. I want to know about the green beans.
true or false?
Joe4 was the "Subway Player of the Game" last night! I guess he had lots of great tackles and a few sacks!
Cool! I wish I could have been there. Garrigan will make the playoffs, right?

Betty, you are so pretty! Happy Birthday to you!

How the heck did her rent/mortgage and utilities get paid?
She was living in her parents home, they had both died in the 90's...she was a substitute teacher (not in recent years) so no ties to any employer...she was hospitalized in Feb.05 and had stopped her mail then...they think she may have died in March '05...a social worker (notified by the hospital) knocked on her door in April'05 and then assumed she had moved!

She had been burning candles (not recently!) and had heated her house with a camper stove. It's SAD...
Oh, her house is probably worth about $200,000.
Kevin Dobson is a judge today on
"THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL"...I don't usually watch, but I was house cleaning, etc...
I wonder how much someone will be willing to spend for a house that had a dead body lying in it for over a year! :-<>
well, a nice cheap place for lisa and randy to buy when they move!
Nance,
I emailed the picture today. I hope it worked.

I wonder if your Dad knows about the Hawkeye Connection? Hmm. :-<> Something tells me that he won't like that! ;-) ha~ha
Nance, I don't know how it got there 4 times. I hope they work for you.

Shhh.... Maybe he knew the connection. I have always wondered about the similiar with the colors too.
i played trombone, last chair all 4 years of high school.
I played clarinet in Jr. High and for about two weeks in high school. I saw an old beat up clarinet at Goodwill a few days ago and got nostalgic for about 1/10 of a second.
Geedwill is a good place to get books. You just have to look through all the romance paperbacks until you find a buried 75 cent treasure.
What is it a sign of when your son laughs at farts before his first birthday?
Pat, isent it throgh the blog because not all my emails have been going through. Lighten up.
Monica
Monica~ Your address that I have used before...sends back messages as, "undeliverable,"...however, the address that you used to forward Eli's photo worked well.
Call!

I agree...'cus yah know...I'm really funny! :-<>
All I'm sayin' is, I open the blog and see there are more comments and get excited for the fun and then they are not for general consumption. That's all I'm sayin.'

Before the sun sets on Betty's Birthday Week...I would like to say one more time, "Happy Birthday Betty!"
Bling
Effervescent

Yodeler
Saucy
Thoroughbred
Radiant
Aromatic
Unique

"That's all I'm saying" is Nance's bit, her intellectual property.
Yes...but, that's about it!
Here's something funny: I have been asked to write a letter of reference for someone applying to a teaching job at Harvard.
"Yes, I do believe Scott cuts the mustard. Here here. Give him a go."
P
All I'm sayin' is that you better quit saying that.
So, You think it was wild dogs (the lady dead for a year)?!
I agree with Pat...sometimes I even think there's another blog I'm not privy to...like the Christmas gift thing.
Huh?
I like the recommendation.
Speaking of wild dogs, has anyone ever read My Antonia by Willa Cather? It is SOOOOO good. In the book, a wedding party gets torn apart by a pack of wolves and Pavel must leave Russia because he becomes known as the one who fed the bride to the wolves, which he did, in order to lighten the sleigh and get away.

"Christmas List."
There's no conspiracy.
Yes - there is no conspiracy.
CHRISTMAS LIST!!! fantastic.
My favorite time of year. I'm pleased to find that I have my godson, Sean. That means only one gift this year, Sean. No godfather gifts, just one "had-your-name-gift". I'm thinking a Starbucks card.

You're right...no conspiracy, i so happy!
From the "other side" conspiracy theory rocks!
I agree with Pat.
I don't want to know what for dinner unless I am invited.
We're having pizza tonight...you can come!
Monica,
will you be serving wine with dinner?
Yes, a White Shiraz. Mmm. :-)
Oh...wait a minute...that's me...I don't know what Monica's serving.
Anon:
We're having chicken, duck, brussels sprouts, pierogis and pumpkin pie. You can come if you bring a bottle of Smithwick's.
I'll be there if I can bring extra butter for brussel sprouts. And Im sure we have Smithwicks.
Only one bottle of smithwick.
