how we lived without computers and cell phones. 

I did just fine. 

I remember knowing who lived in every single house in our little neighborhood.  In summer, all of us neighborhood kids would ride our bikes down the street and all the adults would be out on their porches or leaning on fences talking to one another and the baseball game would be on everyone's radio. 

We would roll down to the neighborhood pharmacy, sit at the soda fountain and order chocolate Cokes and sometimes cherry Cokes.  Then you HAD to go to the neighborhood mom and pop grocery store, stand 4-deep at the penny candy counter and all shout and point at the same time.  I LOVED Mary Janes and those little foil covered chocolate "Ice Cubes."  Anyone remember them?  Then of course, you had to grab a bottle of coke out of the ice-filled Coca-Cola cooler, and little bits of ice would stick to the bottle and that Coke tasted soo icy cold and bubbly.  

I remember thinking as a kid, boy how can anything get better than all this. 

I was so right. 

As a side note -- my sister found my old wicker basket from my bike in her basement.  I repainted it white and have it on my bedroom wall, and fill it with silk seasonal flowers.  Right beside it I have a picture on the wall of me and my best old friend in our Girl Scout uniforms, smiling and hugging.  She died from leukemia a couple years ago.  We were friends for 40 years.  A piece of heart will always be gone now.  But when I look at that picture and that basket I think of happier times, at least for me as a kid. 

I would think that some of the $12,000 A YEAR he paid in support for over 9 years should have been enough to save some for college. He paid his dues so to speak, always paid the support on time, had insurance for them, etc. He told them straight up to pay for their own college. Is there something wrong with that?

well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only--  dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news

Nip/Tuck, my all time favorite medical show is getting cancelled.  I wish they had worked in a story about McNamara Troy dealing with a loony MT!  Anyone else have a favorite doc drama?

about the alert and info on the 9-month-old?  People just blow my mind with some of the things they pull these days!!!

I hope all of them get adopted out to loving homes.  Bless you for what you are doing, I'm sure it hasn't been easy.  

BLACKSBURG, Va. — The gunman who went on a rampage at Virginia Tech university sent a "rambling" and "disturbing" account of his grievances to NBC between the first killing, when two people died, and his slaughter of 30 others, the network said Wednesday.

MSNBC, an affiliate of NBC, said the material included video and a multi-page statement. It said the broadcaster handed the material to the FBI.

In Monday's rampage, the worst in modern U.S. history, a man and a woman were killed in a student dorm in the first shooting while the others were shot in a classroom building on the campus about two hours later.

The correspondence with NBC was confirmed by Steven Flaherty, the Virginia state police superintendent, who told reporters at the university: "Earlier today NBC news in New York received correspondence that we believe was from Cho."

He said it included "photographs, video and multiple writings."

MSNBC said NBC officials would not disclose the contents of the material pending the FBI’s review.

According to a report on MSNBC.com, the package was time-stamped in the two-hour window between Monday's shootings and sent to NBC News head Steve Capus. Capus told the news Web site that Cho talks to the camera in the videos, vaguely referring to the shootings in one instance and stating that "This didn't have to happen."

Police feel the package may represent "a very new, critical component of this investigation," Capus added

well, appears that he wanted minutes of fame (by his notifying NBC in between the two shootings, making it premeditated for sure).....very sad....

God Bless Them All.....

  IT ISN'T BEDBUGS!!!

We had the exterminators over and they said they have extensive experience treating bedbugs, in fact they are fighting them at a local hotel right now along with a number of private homes.

They didn't see any evidence of bedbugs and they said the marks on my husband don't look like bedbug bites at all.  They suggested that he see his doctor, which he is going to do.

Woohoo!!  I am sorry my husband is suffering, but we are both GLAD it isn't bedbugs.

I'm so very happy to hear about your nephew.  One National Guard company who had been in Iraq for almost two years arrived safely in Minneapolis last night.  As I understand it, that's the longest any troops have been deployed.  Some of them had children they'd never seen--I cried along with all the rest of them when watching it on the news this morning.

Hope things continue on the "outsourcing" path, and your nephew and all the rest of our wonderful men and women so willing to fight for what's right in spite of it all will return safely and SOON!
