Looks like you may be in the wrong business!

Another suggestion: Genealogy 101. Maybe going over the resources that the library has available, how to get started, etc.

You got that problem, too? I love the phone call that begins with "I don't know what I did, but" and ends with "and it was working fine yesterday." Yup...computer skills, Facebook (as opposed to "Facespace", "Facepage", etc.), what a modem is/does, what a router is/does, so when you say unplug the router, they know what it is and how to do it. (I've labeled every cable and device on my dad's system to help with that issue.)

I grew up in the 60's and whoopins were the norm. I was spanked with hands, flyswatters, king switches, hickory switches, and belts. When I got spanked I can guaran-damn-tee you, I deserved each and every one. Spankings were reserved for serious offenses (ie: back sassing, not doing as I was told after being given fair warning, deliberately disobeying, lying, and for doing wrong when I was old enough to know better.) I didn't consider it abuse then and I don't now. My brothers and I got our fair share of whoopins and at 53, 52, and 49 are no worse for the wear. As far as I know, most

FYI.....there's an even BETTER deal at Aldi's! 3lb bag of Galas at 1.99 per bag. Sale ends Saturday!

Well, if it makes you feel even better, I was a junior in high school in 1977!

Fajitas!

I second Let's Pretend This Never Happened!!!

OK...Here's my list: By My Side- Lorrie Morgan Make My Life With You - Oak Ridge Boys Storms Never Last - Waylon and Jesse More Than You'll Ever Know - Travis Tritt 'Til A Tear Becomes A Rose- Keith Whitley/Lorrie Morgan Young Love - The Judds We're Gonna Hold On - George Jones/Tammy Wynette A Picture Of Me Without You- George Jones When I Said I Do - Clint Black/Lisa Hartman Black Yeah.... Mostly old school, but today's country ain't country.

You left out prison and getting drunk!

If it wasn't, then somebody didn't do their job...it's a tradition!

More things: Seeing the news reports of people showing pictures of their loved ones to whatever news crew would show it on TV in the hopes that someone had maybe seen them, they were unconscious in a hospital, etc. Churches seemed to be open 24/7 for weeks afterwards. I also remember a news conference later that evening where a reporter said that Rudy Guiliani had requested 6,000 body bags. Local firefighters collecting money in their boots to be donated to the families of their fallen brothers.

That's what I told him in an email I sent him the next day....that you step outside and it was SO QUIET! No planes, no helicopters, nothing. He said they were the only Americans at the cabin they were staying at (no TV). They (he and his wife) knew nothing about what was going on until the hotel manager came to their door and said he had some awful news from home they needed to know about. They thought my parents or one of us was sick or something. The mgr told them about the attacks and gave them directions to the nearest bar with a TV...and that was where they spent the better part of

Well...since I no longer work there, I'll just go ahead and call mine out right now! Eric!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!!! That felt pretty damn good!

I was at work. The customer service dept had a TV on because the company was going to be selling product on one of the major shopping channels. My dad called me to tell me a plane had flown into one of the towers. While I was on the phone with him, he said "Well damn! Another plane just flew into the other...we're being attacked!" I stood up to look inside the CS Dept and saw the channel had been turned over to Fox. It was shortly thereafter that we heard about the attack on the Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania. By that time the entire company had stopped work and was glued

You wrote exactly what I was thinking.

Blackened shark steaks on the grill, green beans, potatoes, and cantaloupe.

Two hours ago he was doing a press junket in Toronto for a new movie. He's a busy guy!

Mine is down by $75.

It stopped being fun when I would check in and see the first page of the IC loaded up with fifty eleven posts by the same poster on the same topic. Yeah, I know...ignore button....been there...done that.

Thanks...and that's the only point I was trying to make. You can plan, make smart decisions, go with the flow and make cutbacks and adjustments when necessary, etc. It doesn't matter how old you are or how well you've planned; sometimes you're the windshield....and sometimes you're the bug...and it sucks. The only thing you can do is buck up, dust yourself off, and come up with a new game plan. Best of luck to you and your husband...from someone who know and understands.

No....sometimes there's this little thing that's called "life" happens and you have no control over it. One day you go to the doctor for an annual physical and your blood work comes back "odd." So, you have it redone. A few days later, the doc calls back and wants to run some additional tests. And when the results come back, you're told it's cancer, but it looks like its been caught in time. So you have the surgery and when the pathology reports come back, it turns out some lymph nodes are cancerous; chemo and radiation are recommended. And, when you return to work, two months

Steak and turkey dinner sausage on the grill, roasted potatoes, onions, and peppers. Chocolate pudding for dessert.

I agree...back in the day they were more exciting. But since everyone knows who the candidates are. It's more of a formality and a reward for the campaign workers. They were talking on the radio today that since both the RNC and DNC pared their conventions down to three days this year, in the future just look for them to drag it out over a long weekend or maybe just a one day long party.

I havent been able to watch The Dukes if Hazard the same way since!
