Sorry to hear about your grandma Pat.

Dunno why but something about you makes me want to give you a hug.

Nice tip on the shoes Brendan. I wore a new pair of shoes on the treadmill a few days ago and ended up with blisters on the inside of my heels, which is a really odd place to get blisters. I don't have a correct stride, I do know that much...I'll try and work on that. So now I am wearing my old beat up shoes I wear while mowing and they're working fine LOL

You know, she was still riding a bike 3-5 miles a day up to the weather changed.

Anyhow, I could go on..But yeah, the next three days, maybe longer, will be busy, but after that, yeah Sheldon, it should be fun.
Sorry to hear Pat, specially someone so active, thoughts and prayers to you and your family for the loss of your grandmother.

Thank you.. she was a great lady, I have bragged about her for years around here at the shop. She could clean a fish, skin a squirell quicker then I ever could. She was alot of fun..Wish I would have taken the time to tell her that though.

I am Glad she got to know my boys, I just wish they were old enough to really remember her in the years coming.


I would have taken you up on that hug Lisa.

Wow, OT on the OT

Just goes to show Pat, strong women are not a new development.

There is a raincheck for that hug whenever you'd like to collect.

I need to add my name to the list of folks sending condolences. We lost my grandmother 10 years ago, so my kids don't know her other than in photos. I'm sure your grandmother was like mine, would let you get away with things our parents wouldn't. I spent two weeks with her when I was 12, talk about memories I never forget. I'm sure I was spoiled beyond belief when I came back home...but we had a grand time those two weeks.

Thanks Jay I appreciate that.

Cris is doing good, I'll be seeing her in about a week and a half. She is working at her new job and spends a lot of time with her kids.

You should join Facebook, we chat there a lot...I've been able to really keep in touch with Joe and Travis that way as well.

I use my wifes.. I am not sure what kind of trouble I would be in if I had my own..Its bad enough X girlfriends are sending friend request to my wife

"Hi, you dont know me, but I use to be close to your husband" WTF????

By the way, there are several x's that I would love for my wife to meet, they are good people, and would have no problem with her meeting them. But my wife seems to take issue with x's.. and I have a problem with x's sending little messages like the one above..

I'm very sorry to the gentleman who lost his grandma. That's horrible.. I just lost my grandpa a few weeks ago. It's a shame good people have to go.



Blah, I don't care for facebook! You can have it! I don't like any of those sites, really. I guess I'm with Jay on this one!

Im twitchy and nervous. I'll be leaving here for my interiew about 15 after. Grrrrrrr

I have my own FB page, and I know how you feel about your wife and ex's though I don't want my wife to know my ex's; when I split with one of them it wasn't exactly under what could be considered "good terms". When FB suggested two of my ex's (they were in my graduating class) I quickly hit the "X". I love my wife, but she's the jealous type when it comes to her main squeeze.

Yeah, I spend about equal time on FB that I do here. Not the OT, obviously -- FB has kind of become the OT for me. A lot of folks from here are on FB, so it's kind of cool. One big giant OT. LOL

I've gotten back in touch with a lot of people that I've lost touch with over the years. No issues with Ex's here though. For now.
