Comments: Oh, I needed that course... Bad ankle, bad knees(since Debs), bad 'back and hips'...etc. I lose count. I've been falling since my 30's..I started early with the ankle. Was on crutches, at one time, while teaching in Nashville, because of the ankle.. Have allergies and 'inner ear' problems(every once in a while). I may be a lost cause. I hang on to my 'cane' now. Gave the first one to my sister, but every once in a while, the need arises..to use that thing. I could use another nerve block, but now we have to watch those 'pharmaceutical companies', that have contaminated meds, that are used in those 'nerve blocks'. In between the 'ailments', life can still be good.. Getting old is not always fun..I appreciate the experience and knowledge that I have gained, although the aches and pains...are not fun... 
Comments: "Senior Activities" has taken on a new meaning!  On Channel 8 news this morning they were talking about classes for senior citizens, like how to avoid falling. Cynthia Izaguirre said her MOTHER was 68! I pulled the cover back over my head.
Comments: You-all must still be doing 'all those Senior Activities'...since no one is posting..? 
Comments: Senior activities were going on fifty years ago this month. Boy, what a long time ago. I'm so happy to still be here.
Comments: I wish I had a boat! I hope you get the number needed....this is such a great activity for the wounded veterans.
Comments: Warriors Weekend is this weekend in Port O'Connor, TX and they need 20 more boats. There are 720 Warriors coming this year, so if you have a boat or know someone that could help, go to the Warriors Weekend web site for more info. Or you can contact Kelly Parks at (361) 550-4296 or e-mail kelly-parks@att.net. You won't regret helping. http://www.warriorsweekend.org/Warriors_Weekend/Home.html
Comments: I am still on HCAD, Lynell is correct, bring photos, receipts and in Harris County 4 copies of everything if you go to formal hearing. They are approx. 15 minutes from beginning to end. Go to HCAD website and use their info and FAQ. This is my 6th and last year as it is a term limited position.
Comments: Hope all the mom's had a wonderful day. Steve and I took lunch to my mom's house and were joined by my sister, my brother and their spouses. We really enjoyed being together for a few hours. Mom certainly seemed to enjoy herself, and even though she may not remember it today, she can look at the beautiful flowers and plant and know that she is loved.
Comments: Happy Mother's Day!
Comments: Happy Mother's Day to all my relatives, friends and classmates
Comments: I have a tip or two. Go to the appraisal office armed with photos and meet with an appraiser as soon as the letter arrives. The longer you wait, the busier they get. In Dallas, you don't even need an appointment if you get there before May 31. Good luck, everybody!
Comments: Phil Pelch used to be on the Harris County Appraisal review board. Maybe he has some tips for us?
Comments: Michael, Red Bull for Monica, just saying. Monster. Starbucks.
Comments: We did okay at our meeting yesterday. It's always worth contesting.
Comments: Yes Lynell, we received dcad notices our properties including rentals. Monica usually goes to war with the appraisal district. I think she is tiring hope she doesn't pass that to me.
Comments: We put up a fight to have our HCAD amount lowered. It takes effort, but it is worth it.
Comments: Has anyone else received a scary reappraisal notice of your property from DCAD?
Comments: It was my deepest pleasure to call Bob a friend for over 9 years. My deepest condolences to the entire Spann family.
Comments: Today if you Google Midlothian Funeral Home, Bobby Spann's obituary is online.
Comments: Tonight I was Googling around in search of an obituary notice for Bob Spann. Didn't find the notice but I stumbled across a fun story from 2010 in which Bob found himself in a marathon poker game at the Beau Rivage. Apparently, he had some poker skills and finished in the money after 12 hours of play. http://www.beaupoker.com/2010/01/event-32-230-no-limit-holdem-one-day-event/
Comments: I am so sorry to hear of the death of Bob Spann. My sincere condolences to Rhonda, John David, Michael and the rest of his family. Bob was the first boy I ever kissed, at the Crest Theater. As adults, I had the honor of being his attorney in the child custody case from hell, in which he and his family were falsely accused of being Satanists, and his younger son was abducted and taken underground by his then-wife. After a long -- and very expensive fight -- we were ultimately successful in court. Bob and his Mother did alot of brilliant and tireless detective work on their own and personally generated the leads that resulted in the FBI locating and returning his son and arresting the perpetrator. In the process, we traveled to New York to appear on a Donahue Show program about False Memory Syndrome -- at the time, hoping to generate publicity that would lead to the child's recovery -- and, later, to Las Vegas simply to decompress. We enjoyed ourselves at the 20th and 30th SOC reunions, and I was looking forward to seeing Rhonda and him again, in October. RIP, Bob.
Comments: I am so sorry to hear about Bobby! Prayers with the family!
Comments: Bob Spann passed away yesterday evening. Funeral Service for Bob will be Tuesday May 7 at 11 am at the Midlothian Funeral Home at 200 East Avenue E. Phone 972-723-9884. Prayers for Rhonda and the family.
Comments: (Peaches asked me to post this). Some of you might know that Peaches' brother, Rob, had quadruple bypass surgery this week. She is in Washington, D.C. with him. Update on Rob, Peaches' brother. He is still recovering well from his quadruple bypass surgery; however, there are some secondary problems regarding his gastric system. He is not eating or drinking anything. Xrays have been ordered and surgeon is coming to talk to them. Please continue to pray for Rob Sweezy for continued healthy recovery from his surgery, and pray that the doctors can successfully treat Rob's gastric symptoms. Peaches will update me later. Please remember Rob in your prayers and for Peaches who is with him everyday and will be taking care of him for awhile when he goes home.
Comments: It's almost time for Warriors Weekend in Port O'Connor. If you are the least bit patriotic, this is one event you should attend. They are anticipating 500 Warriors this year and my friend and I will again be taking a couple of Warriors fishing on Saturday. Take a few minutes to visit their website and, if you can't attend, they would appreciate any contribution no matter how small. If you can attend, let me know and we can visit http://www.warriorsweekend.org/Warriors_Weekend/Home.html
Comments: My computer froze up yesterday, so I am using my boss's, which is okay since he doesn't know how to turn it on! I didn't actually see this last night but heard about it this morning and laughed myself silly. Channel 8 News was doing the bit about the expansion of Kyle Field at A&M, but unfortunately, the UT fight song was playing in the background! I wonder how many heads will roll for that.
Comments: My aunt was a dispatcher for City Transportation Company, and I knew several cab drivers. Does that count?
Comments: I don't remember Cab Driver either, but it reeeeeelly is a C&W song!! smile!! They just didn't know it .......OR, better yet, sold it to our much older seniors as a croon song.
Comments: No, Doug, I don't remember Cab Driver; sing a little, wont ya? Glow Worm, yes; Cab Driver, no.
