Hello all!
Sparky, do not expect a laptop from me for your birthday! lol
I don't even have one! If you would like a used Dell that needs a new motherboard, you may be in luck

Glad you are feeling better Mz.

Dream continued:

I also met up with a friend of mine from high school whom I haven't seen really since then.
His leg had been amputated below the knee and he couldn't afford a new one. So I told him I was good at working with metal and I had a friend (Web) that could make him a wooden one.

MZ? Was it the jambalaya I had for dinner last night??

Howdy.

Spark, what size of shoe does he wear? I better get started on that one.

I was up a lot last night sniffing and snuffing from this cold I have.

Last night, about 6:00pm, I got a call from a friend who goes to our church. They just got DSL (upgrading from dialup) and he asked if I could come over and help them get it set up, which I was happy to do. Between the phone company and the ISP, no one could seem to tell us what their username/password was supposed to be so we spent a lot of time on hold and waiting for answers from them.

This friend has cancer and is not in great shape. They have made 18 trips to Denver (8 hrs.) for treatments, etc. He was telling me that he's now in an experimental treatment program that he thinks is working. He says that if truly does work, this is a breakthrough that could save people a lot of stress and sickness from the other conventional treatments people typically go through. So, he feels that his purpose in all this is to be used to help others.

I sat there listening to a 60 year old man with no hair, shivering in a 70 degree house, barely able to hold himself up in a chair for more than an hour talk about how happy he is that he may be able to help people. I was blown away. I don't think I would be able to maintain that kind of attitude in all he's been through.

thats great web! gaining strength and happiness from a sense of purpose to help others. thats great!!

So Web, did you give me this cold, or did I give it to you?

Hey Sparky, are you worried about giving presents to people this Christmas? Maybe thinking about making stuff yourself, or giving people things you don't use anymore? That would be my guess. That, or heartburn.

Morning all....getting a later start to my day....Doc gave me a clean bill of health, so I'm feeling good!

Is that what you were doing? your leg was going all over the bed....I thought you were having a seizure.

yep kickstarting A's motorcycle!

Yeah, Woo started it!

G'morning all!

MZ, I'm glad to hear your feeling better, if not sounding better.

Like Sparkster, I had a weird dream too.

I dreamt I went to a high school basketball game with my Uncle who I NEVER see because he lives in Nevada.

During the game I remember thinking "I should have gone to more of these when I was in high school, they're actually fun". When the game was over I went outside and waited for my uncle to give me a ride home. While I waited this cute girl started hugging and kissing on me, but then she had to leave and I realized that there was no one around anymore.

I started walking around the block looking for my uncle when I finally found him, he came out riding a horse. My Uncle has a very bad back, actually he has been legally disable since he was about 30 because of it. I warned him to get off the horse or he'd get hurt, and the horse started bucking like a bronco. Every twist and turn the horse would take my uncle would scream out in pain. Eventually the horse was doing these crazy acrobatic jumps and backflips that would go two or three stories high before landing on his back crushing my uncle between him and the pavement over and over.

I was just about to call 911 when the horse landed on me and I woke up

Hello! Yesterday our team had its holiday party at the Italian Community Center and we learned to play Bocce - it was fun to do something different. Today I completed my year end assessment, so I am thrilled that it is finally done and I don't have to deal with it anymore. I just wish I could go home and get some sleep...I haven't had much lately and it is beginning to wear on me. I have a lot ahead of me today, though, so I'm thriving on caffeine to keep me operating. I am looking forward to next week - I took a whole week of vacation and Harley shuts down between Christmas and New Year's. I'll have a little over 2 weeks to myself!

I hope you all have a great day!
