A veteran turkey? Early game. Weather supposed to be nice? Organ...Peter...

Haa! I don't know? Good question.  All I know is he's playing Vivaldi's Gloria pretty fast on an organ. When we were practicing he actually paid it faster than we could sing it! So, yeah he's pretty damn good!!

I did change it! haaa too funny!

MARK!!!!!!! TOP OF THE PAGE!!!!!!!!!  Oh, geesh that took forever!

Sweet new page.  Congrats Mark.

I'd like to first thank my momma, then I'd like to thank all of my fellow forum members (you said member) without whom this would not be possible. And finally I'd like to say:

TOP O' THE PAGE MA!!!!

1st one in a VERRRRY long time.

Only a 30% chance of rain for southern Arkansas tomorrow.  High around 65.  Pretty good football weather.

It's sprinkling hard here right now! If it was even 10 degrees colder it'd be snowing for sure. Very dark outside and the sky is a solid snow gray color. blah!

It makes me want to sit by the fire, eat soup and read all day!!!

oohh gloomy weather.  Sounds like Washington.  Oh! it is.

 Well you got some reading to do. A couple of the "guys" that work here want off early so they can go see the new Twilight movie. I promptly confiscated their man cards. They are now offically women. Oops sorry Trina.

There is no way I would pay to see that movie.  My daughter has the first movie and I tried to watch it but fell asleep during it. 

Haa! Maybe they are just trying to stay on the wife's 'good' side by going??

The boys and I watchd G.I. Joe and Star Trek this week.  I doubt I could get anyone in my house to go see Twilight or New Moon!

Anyone seen 2012 yet? I am not a big 'end of the world' movie person. So, I doubt I'll ever watch it. I've heard it's good though.

Mike- yes it is Washington. again .... blah....

Mark- I do have some reading to do! I have to remember to request the next book before I'm done with this one.  That way I have less 'down' time between books.

Love the library. FREE books! I actually tried to watch the 1st Twilight. I am a big vampire fan. I also have no real problem with creating new vampire myths, but some vamp truths can't be worked around. Primarily the whole they can't go out in the day thing or they die. I just couldn't hang with the Jupiter sized levels of teen angst. No offense Trina, but the main people that seem to be taken with this series are  women a few years on either side of 40 and teen girls. I'm not exactly in the demographic. I re-watched the Trek movie last nite myself. They've reimagined it and I like it. If you haven't, you should give it a chance. I also watched GI Joe, ummm, kinda like the recent Transformers movies, lots of fun but not much on the brains front.

Yeah, I know I'm in the minority of anti-Twilight reader/watchers.  That's ok. I don't mind. I have also never read Harry Potter or seen the movies.  It's just not my thang.  And I agree with the whole vampire thing... vegeterian vampires???? Really???  Haa I laughed at that a lot!

My kids loved G.I. Joe but it was weak on the story line I thought. The bad guy was evil but his voice .... ugh.... was not. It was just annoying and I couldn't wait for him to stop talking. 

I am really interested in how they will move ST forward now with this new future.  I just hope we don't have to wait 5 years for another movie.  That would suck.

Next Trek comes out in 2011. You talking about the guy that played Dr Who or the guy that played Tommy on 3rd Rock From The Sun? Neither were very scary. I thought the Baroness was quite the foxy evil minx. Too bad she had to be brought back from the dark side.

Uh, either, both!? I just didn't think the guy or character was scary at all. Weird, twisted and cold. Yeah, that is mostly because of what was written. I just think if your gonna have a bad guy with now mouth or expressions he'd better be dang good. Otherwise, it just falls flat.

Ok... I just had my 6 year old tell me that he was buying me an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas!! I asked why? He said, "Mom! It says it makes baking easier! It would help you out a lot!!" Haaaa, if only.

I didn't know that about ST! YEAH! I hope it's good!

Twilight?  New Moon?  I think I'll pass.  If I wanted to see the Hogwart's School put on a stage version of Dracula I would consider it, but naaaahhhh...Aint gonna happen.

And even if the books were good, I would pass after the way they screwed up Interview with a Vampire and Queen of the Damned...The movies were OK, but left waaaayyy too much out (Not to mention that they completely skipped the best book in the series...epic fail for not making THE VAMPIRE LESTAT)

If you are into reading, I highly reccommend reading DRACULA, and SHERLOCK HOLMES VERSUS DRACULA.  You'll need to read Dracula first to appreciate SHVD, because its actually written as a parallel adventure and actually crosses through the happenings in Bram Stoker's classic several times - even down to a surprise ending that I found quite excellent.  Fred Saberhagens THE HOLMES/DRACULA FILE is another good read, but stretched things a bit for me to give it a full two thumbs rating.

I am leaving for today.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.  Good to talk to you guys again.

Have a good weekend Mike!

Today felt like 'old' times except no David, Jody, or Justin!

Hey Ya'll,

Long time no forum! Just been busy but missing talking to you guys! you can always hit me up on facebook!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving

I am thankful for growing up in a town like Sheridan and meeting great people like all of you guys!

I'm here Trina, where r u?

Don't eat too much turkey, turkeys!

Hey everyone...I only have a few minutes before I have to go to bed, but I wanted to stop in and say hello.

Night shift stinks!

Hey Andy, Jody. Maybe get some hits today.

Good morning! I don't know if anyone is around today or not. Is everyone traveling for the weekend?? We aren't.  Gonna stay home this year. Figure we'll watch some games, watch it rain and then watch the pies disappear!!

But in order to do that... I have things to do. Somehow when I was a kid Thanksgiving food just appeared. Now as an adult I realize that I am the one with the wand! haaaa So, I have a few things left to buy at the store. I know that'll be a crazy trip but it has to be done. I would rather go work out but that's not happening today.

Ok my friends... Happy Thanksgiving!

What happened to this forum?

Happy Thanksgiving Jacket House!!!

Hello?!? 

Hope everyone had a good loooong weekend. I was so lazy that it was hard to get moving this morning! haa

Ok, we have 3 weeks to Christmas.  What's on your list? Last week the boys and I spent the day listening to silly Christmas songs. Like Grandma got run over by a reindeer! Haa

I was torturing Jaime's family with my Twisted Sister Christmas album. Love it! They actually do a good job. Here's one:

Haa!! That was awesome! Of course, I'd get tired of that after about the third time through!

Hey everyone.

Trina, what happend in Washington this weekend with the cop killer?  Did they catch him yet?

Hey, Mike. As far as I can tell he has not be caught yet.  Scary and sad.  Although, Lakewood is several hours south of here it is reasonable that he is on the move. I sure hope he doesn't move this way. I do own a gun and I know how to use it.

I hope they catch the coward soon. 

I hope so.  He certainly doesn't deserve to be running around free.

Well looks like the cop killer problem is solved. You had to know he wasn't gonna make it back to jail.

Yes, they got him. Mark, it's that sorta attitude that makes families want to sue the crap out of the police department.  You  know I hope I never have to find out but I don't think I could hide my family member if they'd done something like that.  It's unimaginable to me.  I mean really...

"Hey, mom I just killed 4 unarmed cops for no reason except they were cops! Hide me!!  Oh, ok baby!! You didn't mean too I'm sure.  It's just silly."

I'll bet $$ that someone in Seattle either a family member or some hippie down there will say that it was unlawful that the police were gunning for him and wanted to kill him and they will try to sue or do something that is in memory of this 'poor' guy. It's sick.

Ok, I've gotta get. Kids have 'school' today but I'm dragging my feet this morning. We had a 3 hr dress rehearsal last night for our Messiah Concert this weekend.  It will be wonderful though. 15 member Orchestra, 80 member choir, and great soloists.  It wears me out though. It takes a lot of energy.

Later my friends!!

Need someone to read the rites.

(runs in)

Sorry Ive not been here.  Working 12 hour nights and overtime days so time off is reserved for sleeping.  I'll try and do better about stopping in to say howdy though.   Merry Christmas to everyone here and a happy New Year as well.  Seeya later.  Ciao!

Hi David! Hi everyone!!!!!

I miss this place. sigh.

I won't be here today though... it's Tuesday and we have late start at school. Must get ready to go.

Y'all have fun! Can't wait to see what you guys talk about!!

The old girl wakes from her coma. Good to "see" you. NOOOOObody has been getting on lately.

I see that.  It's so sad that y'all can't maintain a converstion without me.

We're conversationally challenged. You having fun in class today?

Oh yeah, you know it.  Learning MS Access.  Fun fun fun!

What are you up to today?

I'm batchin' concrete today. Batchman was out sick. Probably my favorite job to do. Cept maybe running the loader.

Look at you all crosstrained and stuff.

What kind of slump you puttin in it out there today?

Unfortunately I don't get to do this very much. The slumps are varying today, bunch of different stuff going out. Got some tight stuff going out to some curb and gutter work, and we've got a poured wall going out that's around a 6" slump. Just depends.

Is it varying due to the job or the fact that you don't do it very often??? LOL!

I am done for the day and heading out.  Good to be here hope to see you again soon JH!

I Hope everyone had a great Christmas...and I wish more blessings for each of you as we enter the new year.
