Where are you all? SO SAD, the coordinator of the Straub blog receives the fewest good wishes. I DID get your singing telegram, as I mentioned below in the Phelan blog. You sounded like Nightingales. This is what I did for my bday: www.sauntrymansion.com We were in the "Ellen" It was my surprise gift from Josh. Thank you Ed Grace and Lisa.
Hey Patricia~ Have you rec'd my return email yet about your question? I had a spam blocker placed on my account, last week, and my system seems to be running reaaaaaaaaaaaaally slow. I think I might need to call AMU and have them lessen the blocker...a bit??? Let me know. :-)
Hey Pat... This is your official birthday greetings and best wishes message from the Lavelle household (not to make less of Pepperloins birthday wishes...but after all his name is John Rogers). Mary is out of town for a few days so you all may notice a few less postings on this blog until her return! M
"Park rangers were escorting a weak and dehydrated boy out of the rugged North Carolina mountains today, four days after a 12-year-old Boy Scout wandered away from his troop's camp site, officials said." Except you weren't a scout, and it was Pennsylvania, and you found your way back in one day. Way to go.
Boo-hoo. I just found out I will have to vacate my office. My friend Joan and I share a little house on our church property - we have a kitchen, a nice little living room, and each of us has a nice-sized office (formerly bedrooms) with a closet. But the basement wall is in danger of collapse and we gotta go. The powers that be have decided that it's not worth the 10,000 dollars it would take to fix thwe foundation. I have a choice between a normal office at the rectory or a bigger office in what used to be the garage to this house - bigger but kind of dark and dingy. Also Joan might be better in the garage because she often has to meet privately with couples getting married or annulled. And she has more seniority. So I told her I really don't care which space, she should choose. Dang. We loved it here - this was kind of like a doll house for grownups. We're moving in a month - sooner if the spring rains make it critical. Everyone feel sorry for me.
I feel sorry for you. But feel feel sorrier for Aunt Ginnie. She had knee surgery, and is having hte next one done soon. HEre is an update from Diane:
here's an update on my mom : Right knee replaced last Monday - she has been rehabbing very well - walking on it by Wednesday. They are doing the other knee tomorrow. After a few days in hosp. room - she moves to the rehab center within the hospital for 3 or 4 weeks then home.
Here's an address if you want to send a card or something.
Virginia Sender Patient Room 310 Glen Cove Hospital, North Shore L.I.J. 101 St. Andrews Lane Glen Cove, NY 11542
Ouch! Is it better to do both knees so soon like that for some reason? Given a choice, I think I'd do one and then six months later the other - or I guess maybe not if I had to stay for weeks of rehab after each one. wow.
What talk is that? Buy him Monica's bottom-ed out Explorer and tell him things don't always turn out the way you think they will.
We are having great fun with Mary Ellan visiting for a couple days. Neither she or Randy can figure out my 4-cup coffee maker. It keeps turning out like Lisa Douglas' coffee. I bet Bob and Joe are the only ones who catch tat reference.
The kids have a series at school (Religion Class) called, "Growing in Love." It's sort of a home/school interactive learning experience for children and their parents. This year, it broached the subject of sexuality. You could, "go there," if you wanted to...or, not. We didn't. However, the things that used to go over his head...he now looks at me, "knowingly and a bit quizzically." I'm certain that most of his peers are, "in the know." :-<> I'm really not nervous to talk about it...just thought I may get some sage advice from the Blog. :-)
Tee Re-Order: We have some special orders from St. Pat's Day night and will be placing a re-order on Monday 03/26. We currently have 2 adult large and 2 youth medium in stock. They are $12/each. If you want to order one, please email us at: tomandnance@netamumail.com Thanks. :-)
She told me how babies grow inside you and where they come out and about periods and what they mean. I don't remember actually talking about how the babies start growing. I might have picked that up on the street (kidding)
I checked out my new digs this morning. It may have carpeting and a (crappy) bathroom, but it's still a garage. Joan and I will share the space. But it does have a sink and cabinets and a spot for a refrigerator. We're going to paint the paneling. The old pews gotta go. Not nice ones, dark orange-upholstered 70s ones. Barring a sudden deluge, we don't have to move until May. It has a nice view through the tiny windows of a chain-link fence.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If it's a garage you could open up a side business. Maybe a transmission repair shop "We'll Gear You Up For Life's Journey"
Or a car detailing shop "Holy Shine-ola Detailers"
Radiater repair? - "Divinley Radiant Radiator Repair - We take the hell out of your radiator worrys and your life."
Tom and Nance, How many miles does your Explorer have? Does it shift roughly(is that a word?)? Mine has been doing it since we got it and we had it in to get it checked out but they said it was nothing. Stupid cars.
We have a '98 Explorer with 68,000+ miles on it. The only problem with it is the, "check engine," light. It's, "on," all the time. Hmm. No truly, it' runs well. Of course, now that Monica MADE ME SAY it ALOUD...we'll have some big hairy mechanical break down. Thanks, Monica.
Nance, when Zane and Braden found out about french kissing, I told them what it was... ...then I told them you have to be married to do it. I guess I'll use that strategy for "the talk". It works for teenagers, right?
My experience with garages is this: as soon as you get one, you immediately fill it up with so much stuff that you couldn't get a car into it if you blew it up into car molecules. So I think we'll have to wait on any auto repair ventures. We're going to try to fit the contents of a three-bedroon-home-converted-into offices-building into our garage. Fr. Dan, who arrived at this parish with two suitcases and four boxes, sees it as a chance to throw away stuff. He just doesn't get the nesting thing. By the way, the name of our garage is the Father John Hart Education Center.
The first home of our parish was an empty grocery store on West Broadway. Our present church was originally built as a gym for the school that used to be here before it started collapsing and they found it was built over an underground stream and had to tear it down. We're developing a theme here. We should change the name of the parish to Our Lady of Hard Knocks. Or Our Lady of Resignation. Or St. ConsultaGeologistnexttime.
Man gets probation for dead deer sex The Associated Press Article Last Updated: 03/21/2007 03:11:01 PM CDT
SUPERIOR, Wis.- A 20-year-old man received probation after he was convicted of having sexual contact with a dead deer. The sentence also requires Bryan James Hathaway to be evaluated as a sex offender and treated at the Institute for Psychological and Sexual Health in Duluth, Minn. "The state believes that particular place is the best to provide treatment for the individual," Assistant District Attorney Jim Boughner said.
Hathaway's probation will be served at the same time as a nine-month jail sentence he received in February for violating his extended supervision.
He was found guilty in April 2005 of felony mistreatment of an animal after he killed a horse with the intention of having sex with it. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and two years of extended supervision on that charge as well as six years of probation for taking and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent.
Hathaway pleaded no contest earlier this month to misdemeanor mistreatment of an animal for the incident involving the deer. He was sentenced Tuesday in Douglas County Circuit Court.
"The type of behavior is disturbing," Judge Michael Lucci said. "It's disturbing to the public. It's disturbing to the court."
I was talking to Mary Ellan yesterday, and she had just arrived at Lisa's house after a grueling day of realtor/broker classes, and she was standing on the stoop and Mary Laurel was on the inside, not opening the door but saying, "My mom can't come to the door because she's too sick."
Consent is not a defense to the charge? Plus maybe it was a really really cute dead deer. Is the guy on a sex registry now? does he have to live more than 2000 feet from zoos, farms, vet offices, etc?
A while back, we were on a road trip and listening to talk radio about this subject. I can't, quite, remember but I think there was a guy who was charged with beastgiality (sp?) and his defense was that the animal enjoyed it and he had to prove this in court. Not sure how he did that though.
We had a stray black lab in our neighborhood yesterday. After he'd been wandering around for a few hours, we decided to put him in the backyard, feed him, and leave our number with animal control b/c we figured someone would be looking for him and we didn't want him to get hit by a car etc. He was shiny, well behaved, friendly, and shook hands with Braden. As soon as he met Guage, our big dog, he tried to hump him. We named him RuPaul. What is it with us and gay dogs? His owner's friends picked him up this morning. His real name was Cosmo.
Okay, I have another question...Do you tell the child about the Tooth Fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny...when you tell them about the Birds and Bees? Or, should you, "stagger," those conversations...a bit?
Cathy and Steve-o, please go to www.halvorson.org/eagleslanding/ I talked to Steve about this earlier. My nurse goes there every fall. It looks wonderful and in the right price range. I don't have your email address at work, so I figured I'd put it on the blog. Joe
The Iowa Coach just left for New Mexico State. He was under some pressure. He wasn't bad. Just not good enough. Last time they were in the tournament they lost to Northwestern State. I think that's in Sexton but I'm not sure.
I'm thinking they should steal the Salukies coach.
Last time Iowa hired a coach, they picked a hot young missouri valley coach, Alford, who'd just taken SW Missouri State to the sweet 16. I don't think they'll repeat with the hot young Missouri Valli SIU coach who just took his team to the sweet 16
I saw on the news, today, that they arraigned the MN guy who killed the dog and mailed the head back to its owner. They say...that he did it 'cuz he was mad she did not reciprocate his romantique feelings.
Why oh why would they want the Saluki Coach....have you no respect for Dana Altman??? SIU has an advantage by locale in recruiting...but, Altman is the better coach! But, he will not go, sorry Erin!
No one pays much attention to hockey, especially college hockey and most especially Notre Dame hcckey. Either last year or the year before, they lost the most games in the entire country! Then they hired the coach from Lake Superior State. This year they ended up winning their conference regular season, then they won the conference tournament, beating Michigan in the finals. They are playing in the NCAA tournament now and they are seeded either #1 or #2 overall. Last night they won their first NCAA tournament game ever, 3-2 in double overtime. Spring practice for football started Thursday and under the new defensive coordinator, Corwin Brown, ND is going to a 3-4 defense, from which they will occasionally jump into a conventional 4-3. At the ND pro day, Brady Quinn had 24 reps pressing 225 pounds. This was better than most of the offensive and defensive linemen who were at the Indianapolis combine, all of whom were invited by the NFL teams. Quinn's 40 yard time was about one tenth of a second faster than the LSU quarterback and only one one-hundredth second slower than the Ohio State QB. His draft stock is rising again. Go Irish!!! Dad
jUST BACK FROM DC and NY. Nice trip, but good to be home.
Pat, I am sooooooo sorry I forgot your birthday. i have probably talked to you at least 4 times since then. I usually remember. I feel terrible. Hope you had fun.
As for the pool: Ha ha Jim. Slow and steady wins the race.
I'd like to say that the number of birthday-posts one has suggests how much they are loved...however, Joey and I, combined, only had 33...so, I don't think so! :<> Ha, ha. :-)

Happy Birthday, Pat! We missed you! Please be sure and come next year!
Hey, Ed. How come there's no nasty pix of Pat on the blog?
Please see the picture of Pat from her birthday last year. It's not really nasty though.
Where are you all? SO SAD, the coordinator of the Straub blog receives the fewest good wishes. I DID get your singing telegram, as I mentioned below in the Phelan blog. You sounded like Nightingales.
This is what I did for my bday:

Happy Birthday, Patricia
You don't look like Morticia
Beautiful, smart and kind
A rare jewel for Josh to find
Celebrate like those from Croatia!
Happy Birthday to Pat
You are not one bit fat
You're a smarty
Like to party
Did you wear a green hat?
happy birthday patsy!!
Happy Birthday Patsy!
We missed you this weekend.
I hope 34 was a good year for you.
35 promises to be better.
35 is a liar.
I wish I were the same age as my bracket score.
Patricia is ***OLDER*** than me. I am 38.
Oh! Our Speech Pathologist said that she graduated with you, Pat. Her name is Diane Capesius...don't know her maiden name.

Oh I thought it meant High Blood Pressure.
Thanks to you who've written. No thanks to those who've not.
P
Uh Tom...where's the sage advice?
Ohhh, that's right she's not 35. She's almost 40. But that would make me 41 so she must be 35.
OK, there's human years, and there's Pat years. I am 35.

The boys have no idea that Eli was present at our nuptuals...we're gonna keep it that way until they're 30!
My experience with garages is this: as soon as you get one, you immediately fill it up with so much stuff that you couldn't get a car into it if you blew it up into car molecules.

By the way, I forgot to ask you guys when you were drunk: Does anybody want to buy a $10 raffle ticket on a $5000.00 cash drawing?
Wasn't a garage the first home of the Jim Jones Temple?
You should commission a big sign that reads "F.Hart Ed Center" and watch the kids giggle. And the dads.
It made me chuckle.
The first home of our parish was an empty grocery store on West Broadway. Our present church was originally built as a gym for the school that used to be here before it started collapsing and they found it was built over an underground stream and had to tear it down.

Man gets probation for dead deer sex

LOL...probably goes back to somebody really botching up the birds and the bees talk with him...

So Wisconsin decided to export him to Minnesota. Lock up your kitties, Pat.
Thanks Pat for sending us down this slippery slope! :-<>
Oh and we still haven't rec'd any, "words of wisdom," just some awful visuals! (ha, ha) :-)
We had a stray black lab in our neighborhood yesterday. After he'd been wandering around for a few hours, we decided to put him in the backyard, feed him, and leave our number with animal control b/c we figured someone would be looking for him and we didn't want him to get hit by a car etc. He was shiny, well behaved, friendly, and shook hands with Braden. As soon as he met Guage, our big dog, he tried to hump him. We named him RuPaul. What is it with us and gay dogs?
His owner's friends picked him up this morning. His real name was Cosmo.
Okay, I have another question...Do you tell the child about the Tooth Fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny...when you tell them about the Birds and Bees? Or, should you, "stagger," those conversations...a bit?
Tell them only what they ask about. They might already know but want to hang on to the illusion a while.

Mary just called me. She is concerned bc she was in the lead and then won all four games last night (she said).
Mary picked Pittsburgh to beat UCLA. That didn't happen. That is why Mike is now beating her.
I think it must help to to watch so many college basketball games.
The Iowa Coach just left for New Mexico State. He was under some pressure. He wasn't bad. Just not good enough. Last time they were in the tournament they lost to Northwestern State. I think that's in Sexton but I'm not sure.
I'm thinking they should steal the Salukies coach.
Tom
Um, what is a saluki? I know it's northern, but I can't say for sure what it is. Is it a dog? Like a sled dog?
A Saluki is an old breed of a tall, keen-eyed hunting dog resembling a greyhound and from Egypt and SW Asia.
Last time Iowa hired a coach, they picked a hot young missouri valley coach, Alford, who'd just taken SW Missouri State to the sweet 16. I don't think they'll repeat with the hot young Missouri Valli SIU coach who just took his team to the sweet 16
I saw on the news, today, that they arraigned the MN guy who killed the dog and mailed the head back to its owner. They say...that he did it 'cuz he was mad she did not reciprocate his romantique feelings.
Guys - can't live with'em and can't live without'em.
Why oh why would they want the Saluki Coach....have you no respect for Dana Altman???
SIU has an advantage by locale in recruiting...but, Altman is the better coach! But, he will not go, sorry Erin!
Minnesota has Tubby Smith now.
He only cost 1.7 million.
p
No one pays much attention to hockey, especially college hockey and most especially Notre Dame hcckey. Either last year or the year before, they lost the most games in the entire country! Then they hired the coach from Lake Superior State. This year they ended up winning their conference regular season, then they won the conference tournament, beating Michigan in the finals. They are playing in the NCAA tournament now and they are seeded either #1 or #2 overall. Last night they won their first NCAA tournament game ever, 3-2 in double overtime.
Spring practice for football started Thursday and under the new defensive coordinator, Corwin Brown, ND is going to a 3-4 defense, from which they will occasionally jump into a conventional 4-3.
At the ND pro day, Brady Quinn had 24 reps pressing 225 pounds. This was better than most of the offensive and defensive linemen who were at the Indianapolis combine, all of whom were invited by the NFL teams. Quinn's 40 yard time was about one tenth of a second faster than the LSU quarterback and only one one-hundredth second slower than the Ohio State QB. His draft stock is rising again. Go Irish!!! Dad
I don't want his stock to rise any further bc I want Minnesota to get him.
P
He's supposed to be one of the top draft picks this year. Do you think he might end up in Oakland?
Off to Florida to enjoy the sun and ocean.
Monica and family
Notre Dame hockey comes to Omaha once a year because they play UNO...we've been to see them a couple times...I still don't understand hockey!
I frequently listen to a sports talk radio station out of the twin cities (KFAN 1130) they have been talking alot lately about the ND hockey program.

Frank stepped up one. Good job Frank. Tom seems to have been the victim of many bad calls.

My score matches the score of my last time bowling, the last round, I mean, when I was tired.
Hi. I'm getting my birthday posts up to 100.

Hi Pat. :-)
What's your favorite color?
Have you really never heard of Lucinda Williams?
P
Yellow.
No, I haven't.
What's YOUR favorite color?
BLUE AND HERE WE HAVE IT!
WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd like to say that the number of birthday-posts one has suggests how much they are loved...however, Joey and I, combined, only had 33...so, I don't think so! :<> Ha, ha. :-)
I think your favorite color is a much better indicator of how much you are loved.
