Charlotte - it was too painful to watch.  Lynell, I wondered the same thing about the lack of people, but if that was Sprague Field, that would have been the visitor's side.  When I went to Garland's homecoming game last fall, it was so nice to watch the half-time performances.  Rowlett's drill team was superb (probably 45 girls) and Garland's Dashing Debs were good, but way too many (88 girls).

Barry, Sheriff Joe runs his organization king of like the Confederate army ran Andersonville. I used to drive by it sometimes when I lived in Phoenix.. Righr off Superstition Freeway on way to Apache Junction. Big, tall fence w/razor wire & tents. Guards on horses w/shotguns. No coffee, no tv, no air conditioning, no smoking & pink underware. Sometimes you could see the chain gangs cutting weeds on the roadsides. Joe said Don't complain, our troops in Iraq had it worse--he's right! 

I used to always bring my lunch. Tuna w/ mayo, tomatoes. I was starving by 9:30 every day & became skilled at eating it in Mr. Coopers home room class without getting caught at about 10:00 am. Then they started stealing my lunch out of my locker everyday--I never could catch them. I mixed approx. 2 tblespoons drano with the mayo & made them a "special" sandwich. no more lunch problems. never heard about any sick students I guess they were ok. Probably 1 taste & spit it out, anyway--problem solved.--mike

They fixed the format!  Yea! 

Did this format change by itself?  Yuck.  Has anyone heard what happened to Valley View Mall this morning?  I know it was supposed to be auctioned off at 9:00 a.m., but I haven't seen any thing else about it.  How sad.  I work nearby and for years have been able to run there on my lunch hour to pick up gifts, etc.  It has really been sad to see it go downhill.  That just leaves the Galleria in this area, and I refuse to go there.  Trying to park at that place is a nightmare.  Valley View is 39 years old.  North Park is older, but it seems to be thriving.

My old hotmail account -- grannybunny@hotmail.com -- that I've had ever since email was invented, was hacked again, sending out spam messages randomly to people in my contacts list.  This is the 3rd time -- over many years -- that it's happened.  Some of you may have received weird messages in the past week, purporting to be from me.  I sincerely apologize.  If you have received any, but not yet opened them, please delete without doing so.  I will not be reactivating that account, even though it is the one to which most of my personal messages go.  The email address I am using here is OK.  Thanks!
