Yea she keeps saying she wouldnt mind hiring it out, but i just dont want to spend the money.

Man, I hate weed whacking. I hate it so much that I've mulched all the trees and driveway around my house. Now the only w.w. I have to do is right around the house. I sometimes let that go a few weeks. I would hire it out but sometimes that's the only exercise I get. Man, I can't wait for that pill that gets you in shape. The guy that invents that is gonna be rich. Jaime has an aunt that lives right next door to where John Cusak grew up. I generally like his movies.  One of my favorites is Better Off Dead.  Lotsa good quotables in it.

Gee Paw,  Did ever'one go away?

Hey David, what was that Band of Brothers thing? I couldn't access it .

Good ..... no..... hm..... how about.... I'm here finally.  lol  This chicka is tired!

Got in about 1am this morning. Late nights are catching up with me.  But the coffee is helping some.  I miss AR already! I started missing it before I left the ground.  It was a great 5 days there. 

The kids let me sleep in some which was nice. They have been hugging me tons and asking how my party was! Aren't they sweet!  Max missed me too. He attacked me this morning when I got up! haa

School is gonna be on the low down today and prolly for the rest of the week. Mama needs to recoup!

Mike glad to hear your hand is doing well. That's wonderful news.

it was a turn off the lights and nap kinda lunch today.  That's his name, how did i not remember that!

Cool vid about a soldier hit by a roadside bomb that was the only survivor of 4 in the vehicle.  He was in a coma with not much chance for surviving.  General Petraeus came by to see him and there was no response, but before he was about to leave, he decided to try one more thing.  He shouted CURRAHEE! (The regimen's name) After three weeks of no response to family, he sat up in the bed (as best he could). He steadily got better and learned to walk again on his 2 prosthetic legs. CURRAHEE is a Cherokee word meaning "stand alone".

Trina, glad to hear you are home safely and that school can be postponed to recover from a bender. LOL!

How nice was it to sleep in your own bed though?  I know you mentioned it was difficult to be confortable in a strange place.

It was good. I think it will still take some getting adjusted.  Getting back into routine and all. 

By the way first class was awesome! Big seats, free drinks, free movie, much better food and lots of leg room.  I slept from AR to Houston. I don't think I even opened my eyes once. 

I still have to unpack and all that stuff. 

What?  You mean you have to pay for the movie on coach???

Well the movie is free you just have to buy the headsets :-)

Glad you made it in with no problems.  Arkansas misses you too already.

There's a Mount Currahee in Georgia, named as you say for the Indian phrase, it's where the former Camp Toccoa that paratroopers were trained in ww2. They had to run up a road on the mountain.  For motivation they would shout Currahee kinda like marines say uhhrah. They would also say 3 miles up 3 miles down. This soldier must be a paratrooper or a fan of the mini series Band of Brothers , because they still use the phrase Currahee for motivation. Very cool that did it for him.

101st Airborne I believe.  How funny is it that his family couldn't talk him back, but that phrase did.

oh i forgot to mention.

top of da page.

Well 101st would do it. That was the division that was trained at Toccoa. Very cool story.

congraulations Mike!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to try and find the video.  It was from that Sunday morning show that has a picture of a sun before and after every break.

Lt. Brian Brennen was his name and I don't know about the spelling.

So Trina was there any one famous on the flight with you?   

go mike.

Justin not that I know of. When I flew in back last Oct Mike Huckabee was on my plane.  I got to say hi to him when we got off.  

***Hey guess what! It's raining here!  blah blah blah

Well, you havent seen rain in a while now have you?

Haa no!!  I was starting to miss it...  NOT!

It's sunny and 90 degrees here.  Right Mike?

No that was the high.  It only made it to 85 today with 10% humidity.

golly gee!   you guys sure know how to make a gal feel better!

you know how to fix that problem!  dont you.

There's a way to fix this?? Tell me!! 

That's right Mike, feels like spring out there.

Just kidding Trina.  It has actually rained nonstop since you left.  It did let up a little today, but more rain called for tonight.  This weekend might be pretty nice though.

Yeah, the residual effects of you being here continue.

You know, too bad Andy's not here today.  He could have been..... Andy.

Nope, scratch that.  Just heard they are calling for rain all the way through the weekend.

I need to cut my grass in a bad way.  Dont I David.

Arkansas DOES miss me!! It's crying because I left!!   aaawwwww

I need a nap!! 

Well, I am trying to keep it beat down from the street to the basement. haha!

I thought Andy could have been...oh what was the character's name that ran the Mayberry Motel and loved Sci Fi stuff and clowns???

Me too!!

I got it all out of my system the day you left.

David Fort wrote:

sorry, I'm drawing a blank on that one.

I think his name was Darth Bobo.  Not sure though.

Well, Andy no longer runs a motel...I got fired today...long story and I knew it was coming a few weeks ago...he just finally found a reason.

Now I gotta find a place to live and a new job...sigh

Oh Andy that's horrible! I hope that things work out for you soon!

I really did take a nap.  I needed it.  Yaaaawwwwnn 

well I DO have a plan 

Step 1 - get our stuff into storage...starting in the morning

Step 2 - find a place to live - also in the morning - we have a friend who is going to let us stay in their camper until we get on our feet

Step 3 - find a job - thats where things get a little tricky, but at least I should be able to file for unemployment while I look.

Step 4 - Live happily ever after  - what the heck is this a DISNEY movie?

Man thats rough Andy

When one door closes another opens keep your head up

Trina- I'm glad you made it home safe and sound!

Andy, sorry to hear that, Good luck with the search!    Good morning all! dang Jody your either up late or awful early!

Sorry to hear about that Andy. Hope all goes well. I was gonna say Justin! I was cutting some serious logs about that time. Rainy here today, I just might nap all day in my office. Put my phones on DND. YesYes.

Yeah - it sucks - but I've kinda gotten used to the light at the end of the tunnel being followed by a freight train.

   I may have missed getting Earnest T, but I got Buford T

Andy, it may be the opportunity you've been waiting for to push you towards your passion of full time clownin'.

I chose the good looking funny popular with the ladies character because that's who I identify with the most.

Easily one of the most quotable movies. Everyone is very funny. I don't think they really had a script either. Just kind of a guideline.
