Place: Richardson Comments: Well, this is the "OMG, when will the hammering quit" week!  Monday they removed the gutters. Tues they removed the shingles, put down the plastic like film and actually got 99% of new shingles done. Today they are finishing the area around our chimney and painting the areas where the gutters were removed.Hopefully by Friday all the new gutters will go up. My head was pounding yesterday from all the noise that went on from about 8:15am until 5:45pm. Those guys have a hard job!! I'm thankful to have a new roof over my head!
Place: Richardson Comments: Jack - I think it had to do with our defense not being able to get to him like the Atlanta defense did! The Atlanta D sacked him a couple of times and knocked him down several more. Should be a good Super Bowl. I saw the funniest thing on FB. A picture of a Cowboys protester carrying a sign that said, "Not My Super Bowl" LOL About as silly as the protesters with the signs saying Trump is not their president. I guess I'm kind of stupid, but it seems they don't understand that just because they didn't vote for that person it doesn't mean he is not their president. I didn't vote for Obama, but I did respect his office and the position. I would never carry a sign or even tell someone that he wasn't MY president. But, I'm kind of simple-minded . . . it seems you vote and then whoever is elected has the job for 4 years and then you vote again.
Place: Sachse Comments: Why couldn't cry baby Rodgers play like that against the Cowboys??
Place: Richardson Comments: Well me too Toni, especially since I spent time removing all the Christmas images and updating several paragraphs on different pages!! When I read your note I went into the admin panel to see why the old stuff was still there. If you don't click "Publish" after you do the updates it doesn't change! Duh! Thanks for letting me know ... it is now updated! 
Place: Melissa USA Comments: Great to hear from Sally. Maybe she will check in more often. Good to hear from you, Sandy. Hope you are feeling better after the end of our football season. I was just curious to know why the "Merry Christmas" greeting was still on the home page. I sure hope it's just an oversight and not that time of year already. We just got our last load to storage - finally. Sandy, my sentiments exactly from a political point of view - enough said. Best wishes to Ada as she begins her physical therapy.
Place: Richardson Comments: Good to hear from you Sally and glad you are enjoying retirement. I love retirement! But I know what you mean Sally . . . the down side of retirement and getting older is it also signals the more frequent loss of friends and family. Since our 40th a little over 10 yrs ago, we've lost several teachers who had attended the 40th. Also, I've been notified and confirmed, 22 classmates that have passed away since our 45th reunion. So, everyone enjoy your retirement and take care of yourselves physically and mentally and let's all make the most of this great time in our lives. And as always, we stick together and support one another when one of us is hurting and in need of support. Don't be shy, please post on the GB as I miss hearing from all of you!!
Place: NYC Comments: I am sorry ! I have not been here in a while. Thank you for the birthday wishes and belated happy birthday to Toni!!! I am sad to hear about Mike Dunn who shared my birthday. I don't think we will get used to this happening. Now that I am retired I feel both younger and older. I see so much more joy in life now but these kind of things make me feel a little older and sad. I should have been paying more attention to football before I started writing this. All I know is that the Cowboys are not going to the super bowl so I stopped paying any attention. If it is not the Cowboys or the Texas Rangers, I guess I don't care! i know some of you do and I hope it all works out the way you want it. Anyway, it seems to keep going on so ... I hope everyone is enjoying winter! It is actually quite beautiful in its starkness. And, Sandy, AMEN to that! We all want only the best for our country and you said it so well for us!
Place: Richardson Comments: Yes they are Ada Ann!! And the Pats will probably still be standing after the Super Bowl! Congrats, I know you're thrilled! I actually turned the TV on shortly after 8 this morning and watched while doing some other things. I sat down and really took it all in the hour leading up to and including the swearing in. It is still impressive and awe inspiring. May God watch over us and give the new leadership wisdom and knowledge to protect America and get us on a sound and solid direction.
Place: NH Comments: The Pats are still standing!
Place: Dallas Comments: We had our three Hale grandkids yesterday and today. Went to Casey's basketball game at noon yesterday then Kathryn's basketball game at 2:30. Swung by Marsha and Jeff's to get their clothes, out to eat at Subway then to our house to spend the night. Played Pick up sticks and Fishing games. As far as the Cowboys, we have the offense in place. Hope J.J. uses what money is available after he pays Romo's $20 million and gets two exceptional pass rushers; something we have lacked all season.
Place: Richardson Comments: Carol - I know how you're feeling. I'm just now able to even talk about it. If we had a better D-Fence they wouldn't have let them get those two big passing yard plays at the end. But . . . like the Chiefs, we're done. Breaks my heart, kind of like breaking up with a long time love. I couldn't even look at the Sports page today, much less read it. Didn't need to, I lived it last night.How's everyone doing? Been quite around here lately, anyone done anything exciting?
Place: KC, MO Comments: My condolences to you Cowboys fans. Your Boys should have won that game. My Chiefs, on the other hand - SHEESH! If anyone wants to negotiate for an offensive tackle, I'm pretty sure that Eric Fisher could be had for a bargain basement price. Of course he wasn't the only reason we lost - but right now he is the face of the loss. It's getting harder and harder to believe that "we'll get 'em next year". Love to all - Carol
Place: Bowie County, Texas Comments: Speaking of J.D. The Cheesehead we have not heard from him lately. His Packards are playing our Cowboys & he hasn't said anything about the outcome. The Chiefs still are one of the favorates with the Dallas locals.
Place: Still Chiefs Country Comments: ...and good luck to Jerry (I assume that he's a Texans fan)! ...and good luck to Ada (I assume that she's a Patriots fan)! ...but most of all - MORE good luck to the Chiefs!
Place: Chiefs Country Comments: Good luck to all of you Cowboys fans! ...and good luck to me - a Chiefs fan! ...and I guess that I have to wish good luck to our Packers fan - J. D., too! Love to all - Carol |
