Comments: Emotionally and Spiritually, you live Day to Day, Hour to Hour, and some time Moment to Moment... That's in 12 Steps, which applies to all of us. It's said, and written that most of us grew up in some 'dysfunction'.. That's 96 %.. That leaves 4 % that didn't.. There's many people 'out there' that grew up in much more dysfunction than we did.. Then Addiction and Abuse, enters in to this. In the midst of all that is the 'Addictions' of Power, Control(same thing), Greed. We've certainly seen a lot of that in our own country.. What's going on in the Middle East has a lot to do with this...and in the 'midst' of all that is Hatred.. It's still 'Day By Day', which more than one song, talks about..Plan all you want, but sometimes...survival gets down to Day By Day... Tsunami in Japan is one 'big example' of that...Never take for granted in what you have.
Comments: Didn't mean any reference to the dreaded subject on this guest book. Of course this situation will change, but I wonder if for the better? I don't think so. You may be right Kathleen. Just living day by day wouldn't help us have a nest egg for retirement, or plan for our children's higher education or save to buy a house etc etc etc. It would be nice to be able to do just that, but in my humble opinion that is a fantasy.
Comments: Just wait, folks..It will change.. We watched the 'fall of the Berlin Wall', Arab Springs, a gazillion other things... Remember how the IRA...in Ireland, fought on and on for years..? There's that old gospel song.."I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day". My mother sang that song. I've sung it a few times.. We really don't know, but you do know, that it will not stay the same. It's one day at a time, on the local front or on the international front. About this site, it does get boring sometimes..But Wait..! That will change, won't it? I always check the site, but many times, I keep going, not interested in commenting..that day, etc. I enjoy it when Sharon Reeves 'stops by'. She always adds interesting 'tidbits'.. It's the middle of September....each day keeps marching through.. Have a nice week... (Larry Tey, I knew that was you...all along. Glad you cleared up the 'identity' problem.)
Comments: Charlotte, Are you discussing politics? I am also worried about what is going on. Several commentators seem to think that these attacks on American embassies and American businesses were planned. Of course, if the Mayan predictions about the end of the planet are correct, we won't be around to worry much longer.
Comments: Good grief! Where is everyone? no posts for 3 days. I'm so worried about the chaos in the Mid East. Is this the end of civilization or civil countries? Iran making nuclear weapons is scary and we are letting it happen. Now I read where China and Japan are at each others throat.
Comments: Jerry, wish I could come. I did go to one of your reunions several years ago. I had a great time. I would like to speak for the '63 class in wishing your class lots of fun and an enjoyable reunion.
Comments: I know we have some 63ers coming to our 50th, but I want to once again invite and any and all of you guys and gals to our gala event scheduled for October 5th & 6th at the Omni West. We would love to have you.....and bring down the average age of the gathering!!! Let me know if you have an interest and I can send you a registration form. Thanks Jerry
Comments: Today is 911 and the country is mourning the senseless loss of so many lives. With 9/11 our country lost it's innocence. Let us hope that our government will continue to protect us from terrorists.
Comments: Tanya, the alligator dance, really! I too saw it for the first time at a frat party at NT and thought it was beyond ridiculous, but the guys doing it were drunk and didn't care. Zoned out watching football yesterday. Steve called me a traitor because I was rooting for RGIII and the Redskins. I hope the Cowboys were watching that game. Also, in the 49'ers/Packers game, loved the look on David Akers face when the football hit the goal post and bounced over for a 63-yard field goal. I remember when Tom Dempsey hit the first one.
Comments: Larry I apologize for getting your last name wrong, after all these years I can barely remember my own.. I remember the time you saved me at one of those North Texas Fraternity parties, telling me "Do not drink anything that is already open, make sure they open that coke in front of you and DO NOT put it down". LOL. Also, the first time ever I ever saw that Alligator dance! Thanks Larry Tey for setting me straight!
Comments: Have been enjoying this page. Wondering if there are any talking survivors of Stephen's Johnson Syndrome or Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome. Any experiences from friends or family members regarding how and what to expect or where there may be support services for survivors would be very helpful. I'm celebrating having survived my ordeal and would be available to discuss the disease, or check it out on line.
Comments: Peaches, Peaches, I didn't know that Jerry Vessels is on dialysis. I am glad he is doing so well. I should be having a procedure in the next two weeks on a Thursday to put a capheter in my stomach. I have had two past procedures in the arm, but my veins so far seemed too small for dialysis. Anyway, when they go through the stomach they don't use the veins and I can do home dialysis. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. I pray for Mary everyday. It is wonderful that she has her children around her. Peaches your mother makes a good point about this being our "rusty years".
Comments: Kathleen, you are in my prayers. Please keep us posted. Charlotte, my mother says "The golden years are really the rusty years".
Comments: Talked to Pat Vessels for a long time last night, Jerry was napping. He is holding his own. Dialysis three times a week, has gone from 270 lbs to 193 lbs. His shingles are still very painful! Pat says he looks great. When I saw him about 3 weeks ago he did. Still our positive uplifting Jerry and Pat. Please continue to pray every day for them. I am still praying for that miracle. Also talked to Mary. She starts feeling bad then starts feeling good again. Kent, her son, is home now. His kids, Keri and her kids were all there last night. Keep praying for Mary every day also. Three of my very BEST friends!
Comments: Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday Dearall that I have missed,Happy birthday to you!!!!!!! And many many more!!!!!!!!
Comments: Hi Tanya - yes my wife Janis and I are still around and kicking in McKinney, but my last name spelled Tey. I really enjoy the comments on this website. Have there been any updates on Jerry Vessels? I remember Jerry from Boude Storey and North Texas, a really nice guy.
Comments: You are welcome Sharon, happy belated birthday, you share it with my daughter Tricia and Beverly Duvall-Haas from our 65 class. Also, I bet you were thinking Larry Tate instead of Larry Pate that we all knew, he lived around the block from me, went to Adamson and at one time was married to June Wilson of the Wilson twins Larry Tate went to Boude Storey as well. He is still around and kicking, and he and his wife even went on one of the SOC cruises that MK got together.
Comments: Happy Belated Birthday, Phyllis. I was aware that the Mses. Tomlin and Richardson shared our birthday. Adore them both. Our friend, Pat Vessels, has a birthday this Saturday, so Happy Day.
Comments:  That's Lily, re-enacting a scene from The Attack of the 20-Foot Kitty.
Comments: And we once had a cat named Lily, for the hilarious Lily Tomlin.
Comments: Happy birthday belatedly to the birthday girls, Sharon and Phyllis! I share a birthday (month and year) with one of my dream men, Rod Stewart, though Ann Richards is certainly a celebrity. Hope you both have a wonderful, healthy year ahead of you.
Comments: Jud, you didn't have me on speed dial? Sharon, I realized after posting that it was not the best idea I had ever had thus the retraction. I guess I missed your birthday too so Happy Belated Birthday.
Comments: Happy Belated Birthday, Sharon!  Saturday was my birthday, too. We also share our day with Lily Tomlin and the late, great, Ann Richards; pretty heady company, no?
Comments: Tanya, thanks for the info on the Pate's. The name sounded so similar I guess I assumed it was them. Martha, I agree with Jud, wow that was quick. Make sure you're not being stalked! Happy late anniversary, Lynell and David. My birthday was Saturday and I did nothing but sit on my chaise and watch football while reading a book. It was great.
Comments: Wow! I guess I missed my opportunity, Martha!
Comments: I have this taken care of now. No roommate needed. Thank you.
Comments: I am thinking about attending the 50th Reunion for Class of 62. Don't have a roommate. Is anyone else thinking about attending and needing a roommate?
Comments: Hope all of you are having a good Labor Day. Did any of you make it to the beach, or someplace fun?
Comments: Thanks Charlotte, I appreciate your prayers. I am glad you were able to get your blood pressure under control.
Comments: gosh, Kathleen! I am so sorry to hear of your problem and your urgent need! I pray for speed and healing. Are the docs encouraging? I just had a dizzy bout and couldnt figure it out and finally realized it is blood pressure related...grrrrrr! Mine was waaaaaaaay too high. I want to FINALLY reach Golden Years....when will it happen???? |
