Just finished reading the last few pages of this post.  I am so sad for so many people who live in homes less then ideal.  I am so thankful that I had a wonderful home when I was a child and parents who worked like slaves on the farm, but each and every night when  went to bed, I knew they loved me and I was safe.  Not always happy with the rules they set forth, but always knowing our home was at peace.  I have many friends who were not nearly so fortunate. 

Flapps, I am glad to see you have done the right thing, even if it was hard and seemed unfair.  I bet your kids respect you for it. 

Shoppe, thank God you had the Dad you had and have.  I wish mine was still alive and we could have a talk.  I miss him... gone since 2001 

Correction.. Theresa started Care :)  I started Care II.  As long as  you dont post political views n just stick to REAL life...lol Anyone can post here.  Should we see if we can get to 2000? The one who is the 2000th post can start Care III... but I think we should move that to the Entertainment section or religious..lol its my ritual to stop almost every day here!!

Yesterday was soooo busy here at work.  We had three people out in this office alone.  The other site lost power so we had to take their calls for a while too.  Did I tell you I love my job?  I got a check for $5g the other day.. so now I have no more bills to pay (extra $300 in my wallet) a month (cept rent daycare phone n insurance) and we will be on our way to purchasing a house in the next Id say... 3 months. 

There are some really cute ones for like $60-70g.  The one I like.. she was asking $70g for it.  Its a three bedroom, livingroom, dining room, two bathroom, fireplace, the bbqer is hooked up to the city natural gas thing so we can bbq without having to run to the store, theres a built in nook for the table restaurant style.  That seats 8, theres a shaded picnic area in the backyard and even wood storage that connects to the garage so it wont get wet.

I paid for my n rugrats tickets to Ohio too.  We leave May 18th, get there the 19th, B's birthday is the 20th, C's birthday is the 21st, visit for a day, leave the 23rd n home the 24th.  I am so excited!! I cant wait for fresh peaches so juicy you have to wear a napkin, Fresh Rootbeer.. not talkin A n W either.  Maybe head out to Put In Bay, OH I gotta see if I can get my tattoo recolored!!! and maybe another one lol

Ahh Jack, you do look at Care II.  I think the idea was to get to 1000 posts.  Just for fun. 

You know this is not limited to girls, you can join if you want to.  At least here nobody yells at you and calls you names.

Actually it is up to SiKO.  She started the 1st care and the 2nd care. 

Theresa, I do not know the family.  I do know some folks whose name is Martinson from the Benedict area at one time but maybe are some of their grandchildren. 

So sad. 

Scam Jack !   ;)

Its up to Care or Curly or Theresa, or Marilyn, or Si ko... ask them.

Theresa, I just read from the website.  What a sad horrible story.  Looks like it was an accident that just happened.

I will pray for her family,  so young.   Sounds like she was a wonderful young person.

Here is the story from the Florida News paper.

Here a link for the story so far. Mr. Martinson owns a few restaurants here in Minot. I am really sad again.

Okay her name is Sarah Martinson, she was a student at NDSU, and was hit by a car in Florida, it was just on the news. Alexis, Sarah’s sister is my sons John’s best friend, they are always together. She graduated Minot High two years ago, John is very close with her family, I am sad myself I know her family. Any one reading this please pray for the Martinson Family of Minot.  How come these awful things seem to happen so close to prom or graduation?

Hi everyone, Curly there is some bad news that is happening I am not sure how bad yet. A girl from the high School got hit by a car last night while she was running by Hiawatha Ave. Everyone say a prayer and I will let you know what is happening. My son was crying on the phone, he wouldn’t give me much info, but he never cries.

Good for you Theresa...1000 that is pretty good.  Did that count down one get this long??? Oh well who cares anyway?

What is happening in my world lately.. Well, our good friends from Riverdale ND just left for ND today.  Now who will I have playdates with.  She is the lady I quilt with.  In fact she is the lady that taught me to quilt.   Her hubby and my hubby worked together for years and years.  Oh well, we will be home after Easter if all goes as planned.  Hubby still having trouble sitting but I hope it will get better

Son is still in Fargo.  The time is going fast for all of them.  Our Granddaughter and her team won first place in the dance comp. in Jamestown on Sat and the Sat before in Brainard Mn, first place there too.  She is 9 and lives in Fargo.

I took a class on photos last night at the library.  was fun and I did learn some things.  It was a class on digital photos. 

I am planning a birthday party for my Aunt.  She turns 70 soon and I am having a birthday fiesta.  I need ideas so if you have any... send them on.  For food I am making two kinds of enchiladas.  I am making tacos as well.  Maybe a few margaritas too.  I am inviting about 12  people so should be a nice amount.

Warm here today.  In fact it is spose to be 82.  I love it.  Have been outside working all day.  I am going for a walk now and just got of the elipitcal machine.  I am up to 6 min. now without stopping.  My friend from Minot that was here for a week helped me get started.  She gave me a few pointers and it sure helped.  My son told me I either need to get my legs strong enough to handle my weight on it or lighten the load.  Cute isn;t he.....   :o(   Smart alec is what he is.  Too bad he is right.

Well, on with the day.  Wish you could all be here for a few hours on the lounge chair soaking up the sun...

Later ladies!

No nieces or nephews, it is okay really, I have Scotties.

1000

Look close theresa,  I don't think there are any undies on this lady!

I feel bad about you maybe not having grandkids.  Do you have any young nieces and nephews you can love on ?  "adopt" one of them, and have a ball...

My sister did that before she finally had her first one last year.  Her and her niece a little girl went and did everything together.. They are still so close, she is 18 now..

1000 ... wow... what a nice thread.

Okay now the rush is on, who will be the thousandth poster. How is everyone today, I am fine and thanks for asking. I was having fun on Facebook for a little bit. I love to play with the web cam, but I never leave my lap top open, so I know no one is spying on me. Not too much is happening, making brownies for the soup kitchen. Today I miss New York, the Saint Patrick’s Day parade, it is a good time. It is a big party day in Manhattan, thank goodness no one drives, and everyone takes the train.  Parking in Manhattan is a crazy thing. The only day I would ever drive into Manhattan is Sunday in the early morning. Parking spots are everywhere; you have to make sure you have tons of quarters for the parking slots. Someone told me that some of the parking machines are now taking credit cards, everything in Manhattan takes plastic, even the coke machines. 

  Curly when you go to the Grand Canyon, are going to go out on that new ramp you can walk out on. It is like two miles up and nothing below but clear plastic. I wonder how many people hurl on that thing every day?  I could not do it, too afraid of heights, take photos.

Shoppe you busy, I don’t know if I will ever see any grand kids, my oldest the NASA smarty has Aspergers as I have talked about before, he can’t handle being hugged, so he will mostly not marry. My daughter wants to get her tubes tied, she doesn’t want kids.  My son graduating this year wants to be a pilot in the Air Force or Navy, it depend on who offers the best pay for his school deal. I always told him Navy pilots are crazy, the navy has crazy rules for flying fast, and low to the ground. Let’s face it; you have to be a little crazy to land on a ship. He wants to have fun, marriage is the last thing on his mind. I am glad your husband is coming home. Shoppe I am a morning person, I am the person everyone hates, happy, happy at early hours, that’s when I have my energy to clean. At about four in the afternoon I start to slow down, always asleep by 8 hopefully 7. 

KO, I know you are working, I just Yahooed you on my phone.

Have a nice day.  Theresa

Shoppe for you
