Hate to admitt this (even to myself) but seeing the snow in your pctures makes me lonesome for home.  Yikes!!  I know it is only because we are pretty much here and not getting out much.  He can't stand to sit much so even over to my aunts house is torchure.   Oh well, gonna go out and so yard work today.  That should make me feel better.  I know it is also that i am not satisfying my emothions with food.  That is a big part of it.  I am telling you guys all this cause I don't want to tell anyone else who will worry about me.  I am really fine, I am coping but not without effort.  Have to learn how to deal with emothions some day.  Might just as well be this day, right?  Will check in     Later!

Hi Ladies.  Yes, care... great game.

Today is the kids  100th day, so they need to try and dress very old... So the 6 yr old went in his flannel shirt, highwater jeans and put a bit of white flour in his very dark black hair.   Cute.

My parents and several sisters (and families) are without power.  Ohio and Pennsylvania got 12 inches of heavy snow, so so many are without electricity.

We are fine in NC, just got alot of rain, nothing else. 

All is well, today is my son JASONS  33 birthday.  Hard to believe.  He was the easiest of the 3 kids.  I think it was 5 hrs from    first contraction till I held him.   Such a sweetheart.

Hope you are all well.

Care, hope your job works out....

Theresa, hey girl.

Si ko.. Curly.... big hey.. :)

Where is sneakycat lately?   

Care, sorry to hear your job is in jeopardy.  I am so thankful I no longer am in business.  It is pretty scary right now.  Although Minot and ND seem to be doing pretty well.  I am still glad I don't have to do that any more.  I do miss my customers though.  I think small business is the engine that drives our economy for jobs and there is just nothing to help them.  From experience I know that by the time you pay all the unemployment, workmans comp, match social security, very few dollars are left.  Hope your company can stick it out.

No news here either.  I tried to sew yesterday but made one mistake after another so I gave up.  Watched an old western on tv.  Silverado.  I have seen it several times before but is always good one.  I like westerns. 

Later

Oh wait there is OTHER NEWS......

I met Shayne's new man.....he seems nice. A bit quiet...I am sure that will change. LOL!

Work, the company is going to hell in a hand basket. I hope we can weather this storm. it is quite scary though.  I have been with these guys since 2000.......scary to think that we could very well go under. Our products are good, our cients are good. It is just that the cash has dried up...vendors calling for payments.....we are so very behind.....shut off notices left and right. I know we dont political here on this thread...but today....all I can think about is SMALL BUSINESS.....we need a bailout pronto!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outside of that......all is well.

Again ladies, have a good day!!!!

That was so sweet.   You aren't saying some of us can be unloveable at times are you Marilyn?   HAHA... :)  Very cute.

I am going to go watch the Hilarious Prank Call (my son).... google it, have you seen it yet on youtube?    Hilarious...

Sewing!  Call me bad, my sons bought me a new sewing machine 2 yrs ago (yes, 2 yrs) and I have yet to put the parts on and getter done.   But I love to sew,  just don't like reading directions.

HAD A BLAST today at Andrews 9th birthday.    Huge iceCream cake,  4 pizzas from papa johns... hotdogs, other chips and things.... 19 of us in the house.  Thank God it was a nice 45 degree day, so after opening gifts we played outside.. It was a great time had by all.  

Getting ready to watch the GAME...

I drove past my favorite wings place and didn't stop by for  any takeout.. I know at halftime I will live with that regret. :(

Hug your kids, Hug your spouse.  Life is what we make it.. :)

Do you ladies ever have touble that you can not see the script where you are typing after you type a couple of paragraphs?  I hate that.

I have been to Primo Theresa.  We are not fond of it.  It is too expensive, which I don't mind if it is good, for what you get.  I have a meeting there every month and get tired of the menu.  I guess I would rather order off the menu then the buffett.  I am not so good at buffetts.  I have a gastric band and eating too much at one time is  not possible.  I would rather eat small meals. 

I spose most all of you are watchng the super bowl.  I am not a person for that.  Hubby is not either. 
He has been walking but it is hard cause the pain down his leg is huge problem.  He overdid yesterday and is really down today.  It rained big time last night so it is really sloppy so he has been walking around our yard and house.  Our Pickup would not start lastnight so he managed to charge the battery today and get it going.  He even drove about 3 miles or so to charge it up.  He said I left the gps on.  I don't think so but whatever.  I never drive the thing.  In fact I think it has sat since we got here on the 11th of Jan.  I was lazy today and did not even go to church cause I do not like the flooded streeets.  It gets deep and I get scared.  That is how I found out the p/up was dead.  Wanted to drive it cause it is higher then the car is.

Oh well, gonna go work on some sewing stuff.  Almost done with this project and will start another right away. 

Later!

I will put his address on your facebook email. 

I use the flat rate box from the post office.  The one we are spose to use is the apo one.  It is 12.50 to send.  Just a thought, these fellas are not really on patrol I don't think.  Some might be but he is not.  I am sure he coud share with those who are.  He mostly works behind a desk.  Endless hours behind a computer.  His wife is doing okay.  The 9 year  old girl, Alexus, is the one who is struggling.  She is seeing the school counselor and is going to a group for kids of deployed soldiers.  She is angry he is gone and acting out a bit.  She is a very bright young lady and far above her class in many ways.  She is involved in dance and chess and many other activities.  It is mostly to keep her busy and her mind off where her daddy is.  I think the daughter in law struggles to be everything to the kids.  She has no help there and has a hard time getting them where they need to be everyday.  She spends a  great deal of time in the car taking and picking them up.  Thank goodnes she is not working right now.  she wants to go to school but seems like it never works out with the kids.  She hated for us to leave because we are the only help she ever has.

   Hello everyone how are you today? I am fine thanks, not much is happening with me. I just came back from Primo restaurant, we had brunch. I don’t know if anyone else has ever had brunch there but it was awful.  So now I can say I did it and, I won’t ever go back. Service was horrid, we had about ten plates on table that were never got cleared away. It is an all you can eat thing, so you get a new plate every time.  The food was appalling; it was mostly cold and over cooked.  I asked to talk to the manager after we ate about the entire ordeal, I am sorry I am a New Yorker, and if I don’t like something I make sure someone knows about it.  I pointed out the bacon, was all over cooked, they had a ham that was cheap and fatty, the Swiss steak was crusty.  People around here don’t expect such feed back or complaining. I told him it was last time I would ever eat there ever again. I also told him why I gave only a three dollar tip.  The officers club on base has a much better Sunday buffet. You all know me, as soon as I saw that hunk of ham sitting on the cutting block; I didn’t want to go any further.  I had a gift certificate from Christmas form someone on the paper route, so thank God it didn’t cost anything.

   Curly, I want to send a box also. I wanted to for Christmas, but surgery thing and my friend dying put me a dark place. So please send me his address also, you know what else they love, toilet wipes’ Sometimes if you are on patrol, and you have to go, it sure id great to have something soft in your bag to wipe your butt.  I will send a dozen packs of wipes and some other stuff for everyone.  How is your daughter in law doing anyway? Keep your husband moving Curly, he needs to past the pain and start moving. Sent me your sons address also please.

  Shoppe, go the post office they have free priority mail boxes. Anything you can stuff in the box is one flat rate five bucks, I think, it is not very much. No matter how much it weighs it is still the same price and it gets there fast.  Ask at the counter if they don’t have them out for a Military priority mail box. I have a friend in the Marines in Afghanistan; I send him stuff all the time for him and his friends. He used to date my daughter; I am kind of hopping that they might get back together again someday. 

 Not much more from the mind of Theresa, I am going to the gym.  Maybe see you later.

For Shoppe,

Theresa

I will let you stick with the homemade Curly, I have to buy store bought.  but I did think of red licorice, and maybe planters trail mix, jerky,  and maybe wrythers originals butterscotch.  

I liked your idea of the bigger box,  a shoe box won't hold enough for him and a few friends.    Ok.  I will let you know when it has been sent officially.
