Place: FW Comments: Karen, really glad to hear your knee is coming along well. And bless Bobby for being such a great support for you.
Place: Cypress springs Comments: Went to the Dr today...he removed all of the steri tabs from my incision and took me off of the blood thinner. We are hoping that will stop the getting sick all the time. I still cannot drive for two more weeks. I just really do not know what I would do without bobby. He drives me everywhere and cooks everyday. He did think my knee was looking good. I am really glad I do not have another knee! Lol Everybody stay safe this weekend...I cannot drive except to go to the dr. So I will be thinking about you.
Place: Coppell Comments: Ronney, hope your surgery goes well. Be sure and have your surgeon keep any gall stones. I'm teaching Cody Jack to throw rocks so you two can throw stones at each other. Ha!
Place: Schse Comments: ALL-RIGHT!!! What a way to end a three day weekend than a BBQ at Gordy's house?? For those of you who don't know, Gordy is a MASTER BBQ'er. His brisket just melts in your mouth. Let's all meet at Gordy's, bring a side dish to share, have something cold to drink and eat some of the best BBQ you have ever had. It even puts a big smile on Shortcake's face. It'll take you back to those long lost BBQ joints like Bob White's and Red Bryan's. Those are good memories. I'm sure we will find more to share there. Those who don't come are almost sure to be talked about and be accused of being anti-social or at least having Cooties!
Place: Richardson Comments: Ya'll aren't gng to believe this, but I just got one of the SOC Reunion invitations returned to me as "Unable to Forward"!!!  Duh!! Those were all mailed May 12, 2011 & that's what is post marked on the envelope. Holy Cow - It took them over a yr to figure out it wasn't deliverable & return it to me!!!    Too funny!!!!  Don't Forget to Read Msg Below
Place: Richardson Comments: OK, Listen-up Gang! Gordy Johnson is having a Memorial Day BBQ at his house & would like to invite all his SOC friends! For those of you at his Annual 4th of July party last yr, you will remember he sd it was his last yr to do a 4th of July Party! Too Hot!! So if you're just sitting around watching TV Monday, or wondering what to do . . . Come on over to Gordy's house about 4:00pm & bring a dish. As always, Gordy will provide the Meat, Plates, Cups, Forks & Tea. Ya'll bring the rest. We'll start serving dinner about 5:00pm. Hope to see many of you there. Gordy's address is in out Directory & if you need directions call me or Jack, we both know the way well.
Place: Carthage, TX Comments: Carol, I think you are right about your assessment of that being Virginia. At the end of Obama's speech, she (or whoever it is) stuck out her hand and shook hands with the Pres. Like him or not, that has to be exciting.
Place: Richardson Comments: I ck'd it out Carol. I don't think so. I spent some time w/Virginia at our 40th & that doesn't look like her to me. But then I'm not very good at identifying people in photos! I do know she was a sch teacher in Joplin at the time of the tornado & it did do considerable damage to her home! She was right in its path. She repaired her home & still lives there. Carbonated drinks of any flavor are bad for you! I was an avid Dr. Pepper drinker all my life. I quit cold turkey more than 18 yrs ago. Only coffee, tea or water . . . No Sugar! My vice . . . an ocassional good margarita or scotch!  I don't add sugar to them either!
Place: KC, MO Comments: So sorry to hear about Diana. She was a sweetheart. Best wishes to Debbie and Dane. Now, to "give the devil his due"...I read the transcript of Obama's Joplin speech...it actually was decent and was not the campaign speech that I feared it would be. Kudos to his writer. The text is at http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2012/05/21/text-of-obama-commencement-speech-in-joplin-mo/. Look closely at the second picture. Sure looks like Virginia Macon standing in front of the banner. What do you think? - Carol
Place: Richardson Comments: Sad New tda . . . Diana Crockett Phillips has passed away. She was married to Richard Phillips, both were from our class. Please click the URl below for a link to her obit. God Bless Richard & their family as they mourn the loss of Diana. "Debbie had neck surgery this morning, about a 2 hr ordeal. They placed small plates on either side of her neck, and put her own bone matter to fuse the bones together. Dr said he had to remove several bone spurs on the front of her spine, just to be able to work where he needed. He said spurs on the front were hereditary, and they go all the way down her spine. She did good though. She is resting now(3:45). We should go home tomorrow afternoon. No lifting, driving, has to wear neck brace while walking. Will update later. Think i covered everythang. Take care." Prayers go out to Debbie for a full & speedy recovery! Thanks for passing along the info Dane!
Place: Allen, TX Comments: Carol, NoBama won't just blame George W. for the tornadoes, he will also blame Papa George, and Ronnie Reagan....he may go all the way back to Eisenhower. He won't blame Lincoln, though. The democrats seem to forget Abe Lincoln was a Republican. Otherwise, they would be blaming him for everything, too. The only think I want Obama to blame the Republicans for is his defeat in November. What rejoicing there will be. By the way, missed you at the reunion.
Place: Allen, TX Comments: Jack, the surgery will be done scopically and robotically. So, it will be the less invasive surgery. I am so ready to get it behind me and feel better again. About the tea, I grew up with sweet tea, only because my mom always put sacarine (sp?) in it. I always hated the taste left in my mouth from sweet tea. I am not all that keen on having sweets with my meal. I have always wanted to wait about an hour until even having dessert. After I moved out on my own, I began drinking tea without any form of sweetener. Just lemon. And, I loved it. I will tell you that I feel 100% better by dropping carbonated beverages. I am sure I will have one every now and then; but, never multiple times a day, every day, as I was doing.
Place: Overland Park, KS Comments: Hi to all. Thinking of everyone who needs encouragement. I see that Obama will speak at the Joplin HS graduation this evening. Wonder if he'll blame the tornado on Bush or on "the rich" in general? - Carol
Place: 66erville Comments: Ronney, sorry to hear about your health problem. Are they doing the microsurgery where they make (I think) three small cuts, go in and suck out the gallbladder? I understand that way is less painful and recovery is much quicker. I'm with you on the tea. I hate going out to eat and having to tell them I want UN-SWEET tea. I never knew people liked their tea THAT sweet. It's like eating a bowl of sugar. I never was much of a soda drinker. Did kinda like peanuts in a bottle of Coke.
Place: Allen, TX Comments: I just now got notification that my surgery has been moved up to 7:30 a.m., Tuesday, May 29, at Richardson Methodist. Will be SO glad to get it over so I can feel better again. |
