    I'm still depressed that Leann didn't win. I could have really used the money. Oh well. I had a really hard time getting excited about this season. I don't know why. It seemed to start off kind of slow for me. I thought I would like the men v. women aspect, but as it turns out, it got old pretty fast. The women were so petty and vicious I just didn't like any of them. There wasn't anyone this season that I really was hoping to see win. I was glad to see Chris win it though, I coudln't stand Twila. Every week I had to resist the urge to throw things at the tv. She really got on my nerves. The season did get interesting once the merge happened. At that point, I found that I couldn't wait for Thursday to come around. This season has been incredibly long, since I'm used to seeing them from start to finish in about 3 days! Thanks to you, I've been spoiled. I think the next season looks REALLY good and I can't wait to see what changes they've made. I would like to see them get away from the island locations, those are getting kind of old, too.

    Eagles 44 Packers 17

     

     

    Sorry Packers fans. It was a career day for McNabb and it marked many team records for the Eagles. It just wasn't a good day for the Packers to come into Philly.

     

    Krissy, to answer your question from the "7-0" thread. If I had seen the thread before today's game I'd likely have said yes, that I was still predicting an Eagles loss. But that, like the original prediction that I made was basically just covering my butt if the Eagles did lose to them. I had full confidence that the Eagles would win but if they lost at least I'd have the cover of my prediction when Amy tried to rub it in...  :laugh:

    Come on now, do you really think I'd have "rubbed it in" if the Pack had won????

    The only fan club I'm in is Alabama's. I've been a member since 1982. I can't help you in setting anything up but I can tell you the best part of being in the fan club was the opportunity I had 4 years ago to attend FAD. For those who don't know, FAD is Fan Appreciation Day. It's held every June at the band's fan club headquarters in their hometown of Ft. Payne, AL. Fans from around the country, and around the globe for that matter, file through the fan club and get autographs and photos taken with the band. Afterwards, Randy (the lead singer) invites everyone to his cattle farm for a cookout. They (the fan club employees and road crew) cook hamburgers and hot dogs on huge grills set up just outside the farm office. No, we do not get access to their house, just the farm office and cattle barns. LOL. They also have soda, chips, potato salad, baked beans and ice cream, if I remember right. Randy shows up (along with his wife and children) and spend a few more hours posing for photos and talking to the fans. Every time I tell someone about FAD, they don't believe that Randy would go to that kind of trouble, inviting thousands of people to his home and giving them a picnic, but it happens. It just goes to show how much he and the rest of the band truly appreciate the dedication of the fans. I know it's a trip I'll never forget. If anyone's intersted in seeing photos, let me know. I can post them in the STF photo album.

    Well Amy, you "stepped up to the plate" and took my "Survivor Challenge" back in February and now you've seen all of Seasons 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 within the past 8 months.

     

    You started as a "Survivor Hater" and now I think it's safe to say that you "like it a little" (complete understatement  :sweatdrop: ). Now that the new season has begun and you've seen Episode 1, what are your predictions? (This is an open question for everyone, not just Amy).

    I think it's going to be a great season. I also think Leann needs to win it all. The first episode was pretty good, but it flew by too fast. You have me spoiled and I'm finding it really, really hard to wait a week between shows. As always, I can't wait for the merge because, for me, that's when it gets really interesting.

    This is one of those deep meaningful emails that really makes you think. I have no idea if the story is true or not, but the message is worth thinking about.

    A Positive Attitude

     

    Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in South Philly

     

    He is always in a good mood and always has something

    positive to say. When someone would ask him "how he

    was doing", he would always reply,

    "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

     

    Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs

    when he changed jobs, so they could follow him around

    from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters

    followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a

    natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad

    day, Jerry was always there, telling the employee how

    to look on the positive side of the situation.

     

    Seeing this style really made me curious. So, one day,

    I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! No

    one can be a positive person all the time. How do you

    do it?" Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say

    to myself, I have two choices today,

     

    I can choose to be in a good mood

    or I can choose to be in a bad mood.

    I always choose to be in a good mood.

     

    Each time something bad happens,

    I can choose to be a victim

    or I can choose to learn from it.

    I always choose to learn from it.

     

    Every time someone comes to me complaining,

    I can choose to accept their complaining

    or I can point out the positive side of life.

    I always choose the positive side of life."

     

    "But it's not always that easy," I protested.

     

    "Yes, it is," Jerry said, Life is all about choices.

    When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice.

    You choose how you react to situations.

    You choose how people will affect your mood.

    You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

    It's your choice how you live your life."

     

     

    Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally

    did something you are never supposed to do in the

    restaurant business: he left the back door of his

    restaurant open one morning and was robbed by three

    armed men. While trying to open the safe, his hand,

    shaking from nervousness slipped off the combination.

    The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was

    found quickly and rushed to the hospital. After 18

    hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry

    was released from the hospital with fragments of the

    bullets still in his body.

     

    I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When

    I asked him how he was, he replied,

     

    "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"

     

    I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had

    gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

     

    "The first thing that went through my mind was that I

    should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.

    "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I

    remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to

    live or choose to die. I chose to live."

     

    "Weren't you scared?" I asked. Jerry continued,

     

    "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was

    going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the

    Emergency Room and I saw the expressions on the faces

    of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In

    their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed

    to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well,

    there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry.

     

    " She asked if I was allergic to anything"

    'Yes,' I replied The doctors and nurses stopped

    working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep

    breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I

    told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on

    me as if I am alive, not dead'."

     

    Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but

    also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from

    him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy

    your life or to hate it. The only thing that is truly

    yours --that no one can control or take from you -- is

    your attitude, so if you can take care of that,

    everything else in life becomes much easier.
