Comments: Really K you would say that????! I was a music major at NTSU and, well, we thought we were thuh best!! And at thuh time NTSU had thuh best music department in thuh USA. ! I lived in Bruce Hall because it was across from the Music Hall. Thuh Lab Band was thuh best Jazz band ever. And, the music department was outstanding.
Comments: i lived in Marcus Hall for three years. I loved it especially the location. Girls who lived in Marcus were chosen for that dorm because they were considered the best. At least, that is what they told us. Seriously, there were some wonderful girls who lived in that dorm. Our food was fair. The best food was Oak Street especially the home made cinnamon rolls that the dietician would get up at 4:00 in the morning to prepare. Charlotte, you are right those were fun days. After I graduated from North Texas, I took classes at the University of Texas, Austin where the rules were so relaxed with no 10:50 curfew and no room check. Also, boys and girls shared the same dorm. What a difference?
Comments: My freshman 15 happened with peanut butter and chocolate milk...for sure not our Bruce hall food. Haaaaa! I used to go down to breakfast with my trench coat over my P Js Did you do that? Oh, I even went to Sat morning golf class that way!!! What was I thinking to have a Saturday 8 o'clock class??? Oh my...brings back such memories!!!
Comments: Charlotte, while I haven't seen the campus, my niece and her husband said it was beautiful. Evidently, it is the largest of the A&M satellites so they really want it to impress people. The cafeteria is like an up-scale restaurant with gourmet food, etc. Somehow this doesn't sound quite like the college experience we had at old Bruce Hall! Ha. It is probably a good thing that Sydney is thin because that "freshman 15" could happen quickly.
Comments: Danny, thanks for letting us know. He is in my prayers. Sharon...I had no idea that East Texas State is now A & M. WOW!! What a wonderful school A & M is. Congrats to your G-niece !
Comments: My Good friend Sandy Bristow(SOC,62) was just taken to Charlton Methodist. He may be having Blood flow problems & low blood pressure. Sandy has had a major stroke years back loosing control of his right side. Charlotte, Sandy's wife has kept Sandy in good health adding many years to his life. your prayers would be appreciated.
Comments: I had an uncle who committed suicide. Although it was particularly hard on his friends and relatives, his wife suffered more than anyone. I think if he had realized how hard his death effected her maybe he would have avoided committing suicide. She was unable to function and would just sit and stir into space. I hope if any of you are that unhappy that you would end your lives please try and get help.
Comments: I, too, have lost some dear relatives to suicide. It was so sad to be with them knowing that you really couldn't help. And, as typical, they had so much going for them and so much more to give. But, as Charlotte said, we can't understand the depth of their pain. I thought Robin Williams was brilliant but there was always sadness in his eyes. On a brighter note, my oldest great niece is leaving for her freshman year at A&M - Commerce next week. She will be living in a dorm and she is so excited. From what I understand, since A&M took over, there have been some significant upgrades to the school. Definitely not the old East Texas State that we knew.
Comments: I have lost a couple of dear ones to suicide. Smart, funny, valuable people. I will never comprehend it.
Comments: happiness or unhappiness has nothing to do with depression. I know it is hard for people to understand this horrible condition or why people end their lives . Can you even imagine being in so much pain that ending your life is the only way to stop the pain? Or, feeling that the people around you,, your loved ones, would be better off if you were dead? It is beyond comprehension for those who do not have this debilitating disease. One cannot have an operation to remove it or take chemo to stop it. Perhaps this sad death will help people in need get help and others to educate themselves about depression.
Comments: I have been so sad lately over the suicide of Robin Williams. It is hard to understand how someone who had so much going for him and was so beloved by so many people would be so unhappy. It seems comics like to use comedy to mask their unhappiness. So many of them end up committing suicide. Also, Lauren Bacall passed away at the age of 89.
Comments: I will check with my good friend, Dr. Proctor, I'm sure he was the attending physician.
Comments: Ken: I went back and found a picture of the bruise. It was actually the ankle. My memory is not what it once was....
Comments: Ken: I remember that bruise. Are you sure it wasn't on the upper thigh? That's where I seem to remember it. Perhaps you should take a poll.
Comments: You are right. The episode escapes my memory...but, um, I believe(?) you!
Comments: Probably a throwback to 1963...when Ms Michelle and Mr Ford agreed to let me skip study hall and sit in as an observer in Ramon's English class. One day you showed me a bruise on your thigh...uh...lower thigh. I'm sure you have no memory of this episode, but it is etched in my mind forever.
Comments: Well, in my case it could have been.......??????
Comments: Oh, Ken. You know me better than that. If it had been beer, I would have said so. I'm just glad that TAB made a comeback. It was getting really hard to find. My bruises are healing nicely and I'm wearing slacks so no one can see my knees and freak!
Comments: Key words...."six-packs"
Comments: Oh Sharon! Ouch!! I hope you are better by now. I have a HUGE bruise on my thigh and have no idea how It got there. Talk about worry... Sheesh.
Comments: Yesterday, I tripped and fell. Fortunately, I fell in my house and the damage is not too bad. It could have been a lot worse. One badly bruised big toe, bruises on the palm and wrist of one hand, slight scrape on left elbow, but two badly bruised knees, and sore muscles everywhere. And, it was my fault. I had brought groceries in from the car and I put two six-packs of Tab on the floor in front of the pantry door (which I have never done before) so I could bring the remaining sacks in. Well, forgot they were there and while glancing at the mail, I simply tripped right over them. I'm starting to worry about myself.
Comments: Sharon, Some months are when everything breaks at once. This month seems to be the month when a lot of old friends either became very sick or passed away. It is so hard to "lose old friends" as the song goes.
Comments: I was wondering the same thing! Last month I had to replace the transmission in my truck. Over the weekend had to replace my washer and dryer. I'm not looking forward to next month.
Comments: Gosh; where is everyone? ![[confused]](/images/boards/smilies/confused.gif "Confused - :confused:")
Comments: I think I've decided not to get on a plane any time soon.
Comments: Who nose ? Is right... Ahem! AND, you are right Lynell ."those shots were awful for little people,,,as in 6 year olds. Sharon,......so sad James Garner is gone,,,sigh..he was such a handsome, great actor..l.l. 86 years old,,,,um....getting closer...sigh!
Comments: Yes, Charlotte, you are correct about the Afrin narrowing the veins. Nell told me this morning that she had another, but minor, nosebleed on Friday evening, and that the Afrin stopped it. She is going to go to an ENT doctor as quickly as she can get an appointment. Don't know what I was watching over the weekend, but didn't know about James Garner until this morning. We always watched Maverick and Rockford Files, and I loved his movies too.
Comments: Charlotte, re your question : "Do you think it is because the Afrin shrinks the gains ( or veins) in the nose? " Who nose !!
Comments: Nice to hear from you, Ken. You mercifully omitted the part about every visit to Chester Clinic requiring a shot with a needle four inches long and the diameter of a pencil.
Comments: For those who didn't take Latin...pedictian is the Latin word for pediatrician. |
