Happy BDay to all and Prayers for those in need. Somehow, Sally being the youngest makes sense.

Good to see Carol posting. Is your e-mail in the directory correct??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sally and Mike!! With wishes for many more.
It would be nice to see both of you posting here more often.
Mike, I hope you are doing better and things have settled down in your life. How's your Mom??
Shortcake, I saw just the thing you need over the weekend. It is a tricycle sort of thing. It has a place for you to put the knee of your bad leg and you push with the other leg. Kinda like a scooter but instead of standing on your foot you use your knee. You'd be scooting all over the place. Probably doing wheelies on it.

Mike, thanks for letting us know about Duane. He hasn't been active on here or at the reunions or mini reunions, but if there is anything we can do to help, please let us know. And please keep us up dated.
Carol, as you know the bowl games are all about money. Jerry's world holds more people, so the possibility of more tickets sold. I've been lucky enough to have been to a lot of Cotton Bowls at Fair Park. Sometimes, if you're on the sunny side, it borders on hot, while the shady side is cold. Often the weather was wet or at least damp. Con sessions stands and bathrooms were in pretty bad shape. Jerry made them an offer for a dry, warm place with up to date and plenty of bathrooms and concessions stands. After he got the place built, it was only a matter of time. High school play off games are being played there too. Bout the only time the true Cotton Bowl is used now is Texas/OI, Gambling/Prairie View and the new Ticket-City bowl.

Watching the Cotton Bowl game - Go Cats! Why is the game NOT being played in the actual COTTON BOWL? Has it fallen into disrepair - or does Jerry Jones just need the revenue to pay for his stadium? Just doesn't seem right. I continue to remember all who are ill or in pain. Belated Happy Birthday wishes to Toni. ...and Sandy - you know that Jack and all the rest of us love your posts. ...and where IS Richard Nance? Love to all. Carol

Coasty Don/ Hawkins - We almost lost my brother Duane on Tuesday. He had what is known as Aortic, Abdominal Aneurysm, or Triple A. The surgeon said all of his lucky stars were in alignment. Ninety percent of people with this issue never make it to the hospital, and those that just make it to the hospital have a 60%-90% mortality rate. He went to work with severe back pain. Later his co-workers called the ambulance and took him to Baylor in Grapevine. There happened to be a surgeon on duty that knew what to do and they had an OR available.
He was sitting up yesterday and did a little walking today, so it kinda looks like the worst is over. I'm gong down on Tuesday to see if I can help him along.
You all stay safe and go to the doctor.

No Rick, my response to Shortcake had NOTHING to do with her kicking me. She can't stand on her "boot" foot and kick me as it would hurt too much and she can't stand on her "good" foot and kick me with her "boot" foot as it would hurt it too much.
And NO, I'm not old enough to retire. Don't think I ever will retire, I like eating too much. I've always worked for "small" companies and the only one with a retirement plan was an ESOP (employee owned and based on the value of the company) When things got bad for rep companies in the 90's, the guy ruining the company fired all the employees and continued to pay himself (well) while he "closed the company". When he was finished we got about a 10th of what we were owed. We filed a complaint with the Feds. They said it wasn't enough money for them to become involved.

SNL, you know I don't think you are annoying. Everyone has an opinion, but I don't think you are annoying. I was just pointing out a trend. You know I think you are "Special"!

RW - Thanks for pointing out Jack's dig.  I thought his trail-off after my name just meant he wasn't sure what the heck I was doing!

I read our GB & 63's, 64's & 65's every day.  At least once or twice a week I do maintenance/changes to the site. And then, sometimes . . .  I just like annoying Jack!     Jack, surely you aren't insinuating I'm annoying... are you?

Everyone better get out & enjoy the good weather tda, starting tmo it will cool down & late next week very cold weather!

KRL - I sure have empathy for you kiddo.  I took a bad fall in '99 & twisted my ankle bad.  My long-time MD took x-rays & sd just a bad sprain.  After a month it was killing me & I couldn't walk on it.  I went to a foot specialist & he took x-rays & sd it was a bad sprain.  Both sd to stay off it & use ice, etc, etc.  I told each of them specific details about the pain & it didn't feel like a sprain.

After 3 mos & I could hardly walk & had a bad limp. I went back to specialist & insisted he do MRI as there was something wrong!!  Guess what?  They found I had numerous hairline fractures & torn ligaments!!!  I immediately went to PT for several months & it finally got better, but took about a yr before it felt like it was fully back to normal.  Moral to the story . . .  don't listen to a DR when they tell you it's not a problem & to just get rest!   Hopefully the boot will help you heal & you'll begin to see improvement within a month.

Toni - I agree.  We have some very cute Grandones being posted this yr.  I'm impressed that Sammy & Jerry avctually got 5 kids in their photos & none of them are crying or pouting!!  We have a hard time just getting 3 to hold still.

Jack, are you saying that shortcake's response would be to KICK you ?
Jack, when will you retire, you're old enough, arn't you.

Cathy Nickols, how is life in Paradise, speaking of retirement, when will you and Fred retire. 

SNL, don't listen to Jack, keep posting every day if you want to.
you're like the Den mother for this group. Jack is like the cub
that is always getting into trouble.

Sick, at home, bed by eleven, huh KMD? I sure thought that was you streaking down hi way 78 at midnight on New Years. Guy chasing her looked like Mike too.
Foot in a boot, Shortcake? There is are several jokes available from that, but like the missing R. Nance says, I'll just leave those alone for now. It would be too hard on you to try and respond in your condition.
Sam, you rested up yet?

Anybody else noticed;
JD retired and we almost never hear from him.
Toni retired and we almost never hear from her.
SNL retired...

Just wanted to comment about the pride and joy page!  I think this is the cutest bunch of grandones I have ever seen!  How precious they all are.

 

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.  I had a wonderful birthday dinner with my son and his family.  My neighbor is enjoying the flowers sent to me by Bruce as I was not home when they were delivered. 

 

My New Year's wish for those battling illnesses - keep the faith and continue the fight...

Well I now have my foot in a boot. The dr. said it probably should have been done right after surgery or at least when they found the stress fracture. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
Sorry you were sick on New Years KMD, but not to worry, we celebrated for you!

Happy Birthday Toni! Hope your day is special.

Really enjoyed the grandone photos of Sammy's bunch and Jerry's bunch, grandones and family. Thanks for sharing.

Since hubby Mike was sick on New Years Eve a year ago, I was sick for this one. Went to bed by 11 pm.  Maybe next year we can both be well and stay up until midnight to ring in the new year.

Praying for all our classmates with health issues to find healing in 2012. Hang tough you guys and girls.
