Katrina Kalb I Have been addicted to the Olympics, and paranoid about China and all the issues there. I didn't see it last night, though. I was at the Sheryl Crow/James Blunt concert! It was great and I saw Jason Pittenger there!

Stephanie Teehee (Peterson) I have done nothing but watch the Olympics...even sports I normally don't watch. I'm convinced that Michael Phelps is not human..haha....USA USA!!!!!

Teresa Fair (Sanders) Hi everybody. I'm not sure where else to post this on this site. I live in Ponca City and saw Angela Barnes here. I don't know her last name now and don't know how to get a hold of her. Thought maybe someone else would know so she can get added to the site. It's good to hear about everyone. I wasn't at the 10 year but hope to make it to the 20.

Katrina Kalb I have to say I think now I'm suffering from burnout. Now that Michael Phelps isn't swimming, and the women's gymnastics IS CLEARLY A CONSPIRACY, I'm not as interested as I was :)

Tj Kirste (Wolski) I am enjoying watching some of the odd sports. We have a kid here from UCCS (the college I go to) who was in the Judo comp. Thanks Teresa for posting the information. If you see her again then please pass the information along to her.

Sherry Snider (Hibbard) Jason Pittenger is a councilor at my nephews high school and I was asking him (my nephew) if he knew him and he said he has seen him in the halls and that him and his friends used to think he was with the FBI because he always wore suits and had earbuds in his ears. I thought that was so hilarious!

Stephanie Teehee (Peterson) Katrina I so agree with you on the conspiracy theory...i really felt like our girls got cheated!!!

Tj Kirste (Wolski) Did you hear that the IOC is FINALLY launching an investigation into the age of at least one of the gymnist from China. It is about time!!

08/23/08 10:39 AM	#320
Stephanie Teehee (Peterson) Yeah TJ I heard something about that. I wonder what will happen if they determine they are too young, will be get the gold at that point? And don't even get me started on the judging of the gymnastics, I really feel our girls got robbed!!!!

08/26/08 01:26 PM	#321
Tj Kirste (Wolski) Wow...the message forum has been quite. Are we all back to our normal lives now that the kids are back in school (or even ourselves...since that is what is going on in my life now!)

Katrina Kalb Sue, Just read on your page about your kitty. I am so sorry. They are family. They are children. You should grieve, it is sad. There is a section of Hallmark that has pet loss sympathy cards, so it is legitimate. Our kitty died tragically/accidentally at the hands of one of the kids and 4 years later, we stil hurt over it. Know that I am thinking about you.

Sherry Snider (Hibbard) Who remembers Mr. Kurilko? Remember when someone went into his class with a hickey on their neck? Omg I would hate to be that person. The embarrassment he put them thru when he saw it! LOL

Ah Katrina, you almost made me cry again, but thank you for the words! It's a very sad story, with more details, but short version is was totally unexpected, and we found him when we got home at 11:30 at night after coming home from vacation. And to top it off, our little dach-y is sick, she ruptured a disk and is paralyzed in back. We may have to put her down this week as well. Suffice it to say it's been a tough week, and kinda put a damper on our vacation high (to say the least).

Sorry to go on about it on the MB, as it is sooo not reunion related, but I figure this message board forum has been more about re-connecting and sharing, so there it is.

I remember Kurilko, but the one who sticks in my head is Ms. Flushee. (I'm sure I didn't spell that right). She was a nazi. I remember handing in some reports that I had done in purple ink. Long reports. She made me rewrite them in black ink b/c she said that in the real world they don't use purple, and she was preparing us for the real world. Ummmm, I have a rainbow of colored pens at my desk right now, so TAKE THAT!

Kristi Donaghue (Frank) Sue I am so sorry about your cat. I had problems with my dauchsund last week and she was really sick and I thought she was going to die. But after a weekend in the hospital and antibotics and special diet hopefully we are in the clear. They are truly a HUGE part of your family.

I have to say this week has been a nightmare for the Wolski Family!

Monday I was in the ER with a very bad migrain that came on me in less than 2 minutes. They were concerned that there was a brain bleed because of the way that it came on the symptoms.

Then yesterday Billy took Megan up to the Accute care clinic and turns out her taking advil for the slightest pain has caused some major damage to her stomach and they put her on Nexium and told us to follow up with internal meds.

Then last night Billy was complaining that he thought he pulled a muscle in his chest or back and was having a hard time breathing. He woke up this morning at 4:00 and said he couldn't breath so I rushed him to the ER right off base and they have now admitted him to the main hospital with blood clots in his lungs. Seems the orthopedist (for when he broke his knee) might have ordered some mild pt for him because he developed clots in his legs while he was down with his knee and when he was able to start putting pressure on his leg it freed up the clots and they traveled up to his lungs. Good thing we got him in when we did cause lord knows what might have happened.

So now I am totally stressed - DJ plays in his first football game today!!! I really don't need him to get hurt as well! I am not sure if my mental status will remain in tact if something happens to him too!

So sorry to hear about your pets Sue! I really hate to hear when our little furry friends take ill or have to be put down due to illnesses. I have had to put down 1 dog and loved him so much! and it took a long time for me to be willing to accept another dog.

Sue Young (Myers) Ok TJ, I thought maybe I had pissed off some Mayan gods in Mexico or something to have all that happen to my babies. But I think you won the prize for family problems this week! I'm sorry you have had so much happen, esp in so short a span. I really hope everything turns out ok with Billy, will be thinking of you. Keep us in the loop. :)

Sue,

I'm sure I may put myself out there as a health guru/freak, but last month our dog, Graham fell down an embankmenk. A week later, he had a seizure and kept biting his legs as if they hurt. In pain all the time. Vet gave him pain meds, xrayed him. Just watch and see, they said. I found a friend that was a chiropractor. She got sick of the insurance game and went into animal chiropractic; working on horses, cattle and dogs. She worked on Graham and found that he had a pinched nerve in his neck and was out of alignment in many areas, thus the pain and seizures. We had him adjusted and he was instantly our old dog out of pain and happy again. Just saying, if you want, see if you can find one in Ttown. It may not be enough, but it may help extend some time with your baby.

Hello all, Have not had my internet for over a month, back online now. TJ, so sorry I missed our luncheon. I got the date wrong. I am still happy to help if you or anyone needs me to assist. I have lots of pictures that I WILL scan and get instructions to add on to our site here. Lori (Pitts)

I will get Heath Barnhart online. He is my step-brother for those of you that did not know. I will call him and see if he can get his profile online. He is still as sweet as ever, don't talk to him very often. TJ his last name is spelled: Barnhart Thanks, Lori

Sue I just read you had to put your puppy down. I am so sorry! I know that it breaks your heart but to know that he is much better off should help a bit. I beleive the quality of life should be more important than the quanity of life. That is how we had to look at when we put Big Boy down in 2003. His life was becoming more and more unbearable and we had to do it dispite breaking our hearts. I would still wait to see his groofy face at our window every morning or to watch him drag around his 2x4 in the back yard. It took be a good 3 years to finally be able to get another dog. and then we really researched the breeds to make sure they weren't prone to major illnesses. I hope you know that if you need anything or to just talk about him then please do not hesitate to call on me!

Katrina Kalb Oh, Sue. I'm sorry about your babies. I remember the worst was the routine events that you miss. The greeter at the door. The jingle of the collar when they heard you in the kitchen. It is sad, not petty. Know I am thinking of you.

Ok...my reunion committee...I think it is time we try to reconvene. Look at your calendars - Tell me which is better...the 27th of September or the 4th of Oct. I am going to try to convince the hubby to let me come to this meeting. If you all need a reminder of who was supposed to do what the minutes to the meeting and the "to do's" are under the 20 year reunion page.

Thanks!!!

First I want to say thanks to everyone who sent me messages about my pets. I am humbled by the caring words, and the sentiment. I have been sad, despressed, angry for a couple weeks now, and also guilty. I feel guilty I wasn't at home, maybe I could have seen something was wrong with the cat. Maybe I could have done more for my dog if I was home, instead of MIL. And I sometimes feel like I'm being petty or silly for being so torn up about animals. But in the end, there were my family, even if I never thought of myself as "one of those people". Apparently I am, and proud of it now. So I will mourn, and I will be thankful that there are people out there who understand and who care enough to let me know they get it. Thanks you guys.

Whew, ok, now that I got that out with just a minimal about of tears, October would be better than September for me for another meeting. I am on a committee at work that helps raise money and sponsors a carnival for The Little Lighthouse and that carnival is Sept. 20. I will be very tied up with that stuff until then, so a couple weeks between projects would be good for me. Would anyone be interested in doing a Friday night meeting? (Maybe some snacks and adult beverages?) Or would that not work for you TJ, if you come in for that weekend? Just a thought.
