I liked that one too. I think living in Israel could be the safest thing we ever did. I would feel safe in Israel. Reply...

In Article: Care IIHello all,
I am going to take a couple of min. break from my task of getting the house closed up and our junk packed. Depressing....
Nice to hear from you Theresa. I hope maybe I can stop by the soup kitchen after we get home and I can meet you. We never seem to connect so I think we need to make it happen. We will be home ( I hope) on Thursday. We fly into Bismarck tomorrow night and drive home from there. If he is too miserable from the flight we will find a motel and stay over and drive home on Thursday. I just hope the planes are on time etc. It will be good to see my friends and our family. I am longing to go home and comfort our neice. She is so sad. It is bad enough but to have lost 3 now. Oh dear. I am praying for her too.
I know how hard it is to be concerned about a surgery. I have been through it a time our two myself. I will be pray ing for you too.
Well, back to it.
Later ladies!

In Article: Care IIHello everyone how are ( IS) (Spell check always says Is the correct word, let’s have a vote, I say are is correct) you today? It is snowing here, for those of you that don’t live around here. Care I see you are having rain soon, looking for Christmas from Maine. Curly it is so good to hear from you. What is the name of your local paper so we can Looky looks every now and then. Curly I am so sorry for your niece; miscarriages are the worst, more mentally then physically. It is sad subject so we won’t talk about it much. Tell your niece I am praying for her and the soul of her baby. Wow I get so emotional lately. I am having real difficulty sleeping; the surgery I am having on December 30th has me so upset. Signing a waver that they are not responsible if they poke an eye out, it making me leak cerebral fluid, is scary stuff.
On a lighter note I believe someone has kidnapped Buzz Light-year. I think I know who has it; I am waiting for a ransom note. For those of you that were waiting for Buzz Light-year’s Photos from Thanksgiving, I felt really embarrassed to bring him out. There were many small children there, whose family had nothing. I would have gave him away I know it. I am also embarrassed to show off my digital camera at places. I think my digital camera is pretty over the top, and I don’t like to show off. Unless I am by good friends, it is a personal thing. Like at the soup kitchen I never wear my diamond rings. I have two with really big diamonds, oh here comes a Theresa story. So skip to next paragraph if you don’t care. When I was twenty one in the Air Force, I was really tired of the men I was getting engaged to. They all turned out to be losers, okay maybe some were my fault. Well anyway when I was twenty-one I bought myself a full two carat diamond ring, with two carats of baggets around it. I decided no more engagement rings. So when I met my husband in Korea, I said oh I don’t need a big diamond, I already have one. I was twenty nine years old. Well we did not get married until God had us stationed together in Montana. You all know me by now, I changed my mind, I wanted a big diamond and so that story went. So now I have two big diamond rings, I walk around most of the time with about eight carets on my two hands. When I go home to New York my father is afraid I am going to get my fingers cut off, that’s what they do in the city, a cigar cutter and off with the finger.
Shoppe your photos are so pretty, your daughter in law looks a little like you I think! Do you think she does just a tiny bit?
KO I already told you that we are having hot dogs, beans and salads at the soup kitchen. There were hot dogs left from the Dinner with Santa last week, in downtown Minot. Hay is anyone going to The Dickens Festival this weekend?
Did anyone see the TV movie this weekend, “A Dog Named Christmas”, I recorded it on the DDR box, and I just watched it a little bit ago, I am still crying, I love Hallmark Movies.
Well I am going to go for now,
For my Shoppe
NOW SHE HAS BOOBIES..
Love Theresa, I hate Snow. Reply...

In Article: Care IIHello Ladies,
Not much happening here. BORING work day today. As was yesterday. Oh-hum! Johnboy got into trouble at school, I had to go pick him up.Not cool! I am so not impressed. The lil punk got into a fight after school yesterday, which another friend taped with his phone. Double not cool. He has 3 days out of school suspension. Triple not cool. I got to sit in the principal's office with her and the campus cop. A very nice officer. he gave Johnboy a warning, only because this is his first time in trouble. the cop did say that john was a very forthright, honest, polite young man...who accepted responsibility and took his punishment. That is rare today I guess. The cop wanted to make sure I knew those things....which I did and do know. I hope John learned his lesson.....I don't like fighting, bullying, or any of that type of behavior.
Other than that excitement not much else is happening.
Have a good day all,

North Dakota has the longest hang time in the history of golf.
North Dakota is host to the only International golf course in the united states if not the world.
The golfer teees off the 9th hole in Canada. The ball lands an hour later in the United States. part of the couse is ondaylight savings time and and the other is on standard time.
Located on the 49th parallel by Portal, North Dakota, and North Portal, Saskatchewan.
Built in 1930, the clubhouse is on American soil, but the next 8 holes are on Canadian property. Then comes the 9th hole where golfers tee off in Canada but putt in on the green, in this case a sand green, in America.
The 1st hole-in-one on the international hole was made by a 14-year-old George Wegener in 1934. when he sank a hole-in-one on the 9th hole at the Gateway Cities Golf Club.
Wegener was the first to accomplish the feat on the 127-yard-hole. As it turned out, he did it again in 1958.
The first time Wegener downed his hole-in-one, he was awarded a case of sparkling water and a box of lifesavers. Although the local residuals were small, his fame spread. His feat iwas recorded in the 1935 edition of Ripley's Velieve It or Not, and featured in a newsreel shown in movie houses across the nation.
For his 2nd hol-in-one on the 9th hole, Wegener recieved the Dunlop Hole-in-One Award, a trophy with the "international ball" implanted in it.
The 9th hole is a 127 three-par-hole.
The last 30 yards of the green are in the United States.

In Article: Care IIHey everyone. I just finally was able to get the internet hooked up. Soooo, you are my first communication on the net. Like you said Theresa, I am in Az. We arrived here last Monday a week ago. Or was it Tuesday? I am not remembering so good. We had a long trip. It took us a week to get here from Minneapolis. It was a long way. In fact almost 2400 miles to our house. WE could not go very far each day cause it is so hard for hubby to sit. We only made it 200 miles one day cause he was going crazy. That place did not have internet so was really boring. It just happened to be on the fritz that day or I would have been in touch.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving at my Aunts house. She lives about 2 miles from us down here. Then on Friday of last week, we took off from here and went to Rocky point down in Mexico. It is a small resort shrimping town. It has wonderful beaches and a wonderful string of huge condo hotels. It is lovely and close for us. About a 5 hr drive. We just road along with another fella and didn't have to worry about the drive. It is on the inside of the baha. A/nother name for it is Porta Penasco. Not sure of the spelling but it is something like that. Anyway, I ate enough shrimp fixed anyway you can imagine. I am sure we all added 5 pounds.
Tomorrow I have to get busy and get our house in order to leave and do the laundry. We leave here and fly home to Minot. Actually we fly into Bismarck and will have to drive from there. I hate to leave now but that is our plan. '
We recieved some very sad news today. Our dear neice who has been wanting a baby for a long time just had a miscarriage today. I am devastated for her. She has a little boy who is 8 and has lost 3 babies now. They have tried about everything for her. Pray for her and her hubby. I am so glad they did not tell the little boy. It is such a blow to them. They thought it would really work this time.
Well, I have lots of emails to answer so I will be in touch later. I missed you all and your posts. I don't have time to go back and read it all but will later.
Later ladies! Reply...

In Article: Care IIHello everyone how are you today? I am still recovering from a long weekend. My friend Maureen that has been here for the past four days left this morning, now I will sleep. We had a good time, we did not go out very much, just hung out played the Nintendo Wii allot. I love the Wii, Wii sports resort is the best game. We did sword fights, bowling, more sword fight, tennis, I love that game.
So what is everyone asking Santa for? Me I want the new Waterpik toothbrush,
http://www.waterpik.com/oral-health-products/countertop-dental-water-jet/WP-100/
It costs about $140.00, it is the hot gift for this Christmas, and most places are sold out. It is new; it actually squirts water while you brush. You all know how much I love me; I have great teeth, thanks to your tax dollars and the United States Air Force. I have about eleven thousand dollars of porcelain veneers in my mouth. They are not dentures they are all permanent. I lost a few of my front teeth in a bar fight at Andrews Air Force base. Here comes a story, so if you don’t care skip to the next paragraph. I was a young two striper in the Air Force, but I was a Law Enforcement person, and I had a gun and a night stick, so I thought I was unstoppable. We were called to fight at the NCO club, now at Andrews there were Marines and Navy also assigned for the support of Marine One. Every now and then there would be a bar fight, I was with my best partner Ray he was a Sergeant. We had no idea how bad it was until we entered. So I entered where the bar fight was I screamed “Halt Security Police”, you guessed it, Bam out cold. Now I am not sure what really happened, but I was told the fight stopped and everyone was trying to find three missing teeth that knocked out. You can never tell now, all my teeth are porcelain. I love my teeth. Okay enough about me.
Care I hope your husband had a great birthday; I am a fan of ringtones. My regular ringtone is “I Gotta feeling”, by the Black Eyed Peas, I love the Black Eyed Peas. My have my husbands ringtone set to “Money”, by Pink Floyd.
KO I have the Soup Kitchen this week, please come by for lunch 1130-1230, but you came earlier. KO what is favorite type of soup, I will make it. Don’t make it an easy soup; I like to make a soup that is better that any restaurant in Minot, just name it. I am also making fresh banana cake, with banana frosting. It takes 11 bananas; it is in a half sheet cake.
Curly, I know you are in Arizona, but please tell us how it is going.
Shoppe did you see this story, Pirates too over an American oil ship. It could be a mess.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/world/africa/01pirates.html?_r=1&hp
Well I have to bring my friends shopping, it is Monday.
Shoppe for you,
Yo! Is this a pimp or what?
I still think that last guy was a girl, he has panty lines.
I love you all Theresa

When it is slow like this I think about all the things I could be doing around the house. Laundry....pick up the magazines that have accumulated. We all get more than one a month...I throw out my old issue when the new arrives...Rol and Johnboy both will hang onto all their issues for months and months. They don't know it but when they aren't around I will toss whatever ones I come across. Hahaha!!! Cabela's...OMG, a new catalog every other day comes in. One for ammo, fishing, hunting, womens, kids, xmas, spring, fall, Geesh, there might as well be one for full moon, rain, pets, and friends too. So many catalogs and mags come in that when I am the one checking the mail I won't even bring in some of them...in the trash they go. They don't even make into the house. Well of the Victoria Secrets catalog does...they have great shoes. Have a great day. Love, care29 xoxoxox Shoppe how was your Saturday Holiday? T and Si, you two are getting together again?
