Eithar of you fellers baseball fans? The St. Louis cardinals is a local team around here, 100 miles away but it is the closest professional sports team to us. I'm not a baseball fan but I know teh Cards are good and when I use to be a baseball fan (prior to teh 1993 strike over minimum wage of $100,000+) Ii got a bad taste for it.

Oh her credit is perfect and has no problem getting a loan for any amount she wants... I told my cousin that if I cant get the finacing alone I would put her on it to but I would like to use this to try to rebuild my credit 
Sorry I hate baseball. Just always thought it was to boring, not as bad as golf or watching paint dry but close

Like I said I'm not a fan since 93, of course I was 12-13 then but I figured these guys are making a ton of money and they're complaining that it's not enough. I never followed it again after that. That's about the same time NASCAR realy became popular, i guess a lot fo sore baseball fas needed something to drink beer to so NASCAR was it.

True about the Sprint cars, those are awesome races to watch.
Sorry for the brief break guys, I saw I had an email from one of my good friends from high school who is a 2nd Leutenant in the USMC and is right now in Fallujah, Iraq and i had to reply. We grew up through grade school together, played little league baseball together, wrestled in junior high together, played football in high school together, our dad's are good friends, and now he's in Iraq. Funny thing is he wanted to hunt in HS so bad so I taught him how to shoot a shotgun and took him with me several times and now he depends on that kind of stuff for his life. He's a real leader too, got the highest leadership award (Doc Bencini award {football only award}) our senior year by a unanimous vote by ALLl the senior players. That type of vote had never happened before, he was also President of the Key Club (HS Kiwanis club organization) doing community service work. Our key club has gotten the best in the world rank for like 20+ years, being the leader of that and keeping that record and tradition is a big thing. Basicly eerybody that has been in it has turned out to be goo dupstanding citizens, wierd sounding but true. Anyway if you guys believe in prayer keep them boys in your thoughts.

Texas is here and accounted for. 
My nieces boyfriend just arrived a few weeks ago into Iraq. Told him 18 months is the soonest he'll be home. He's Military Police in the Marines.
He told my niece he was transfering over to be a cook, and everything will be fine.
Every time a bomb goes off......I spend the next couple days praying it wasnt the street corner he's guarding.
I dont worry about him.....I worry about her.
Enough of that......
I read today, what would have maybe been the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard.
Maybe next month....I will actually hear it.
