  1. When I was born I was called for the first few hour of my life Julie, but my father refused have it put on my birth certificate. After a while of being nameless I was legally called Carole. I haven't a middle name but I do add the letter 'T' to most legal documents as my husband has rather a common last name and I have been confused with three other ladies.


  2. It's funny in a way as I was born only about 10 miles away from here in Ohio, yet home is in Tampa Florida. I've never seen the home there but in pictures and the things my Mother discribes in her e-mails. Home is not actually a place on a map for me as I think that anywhere my folks live is home, my home.

     

    Daniel knows that I've been sick and in pain with the Endo and the Lupron may have some pretty bad side effects and I think he wants me to see my folks again. I haven't seen my kid brother, Phil, in 4 or 5 years nor have I seen the twins (the twins are my parents and Phil's dogs) in that length of time.

     

    I'll be flying to Tampa and I'm nervous, a little scared, and yes even excited about it as I've never flown anywhere before. Daniel says I'll like it and if I do, I can visit my folks as often as I like. :drool: So is there any seasoned flyers out there? Is there any thing I should be cautious of or lookout for?


  3. People that don't discipline their children and allow them to run wild in public places.

     

    Years ago when I was a teenager, I worked as a cashier/bagger at a grocery store. One day a woman with two small wild children came in and shopped the kids just ran all over the store and ignored warnings of don't climb on that or get down. As I was bagging her order her children ran to the exit and out into the parking lot. The woman was furious with me for not stopping them and drug those two little nightmares to the office manager and insisted I be fired. I was called into the manager's office and asked what my job was. I told him I was hired to ring groceries and bag goods. He look up at the lady and said, 'Ah ha, I knew I didn't hire any *babysitters*.' I was told to return to my job. The lady asked for a refund and left and never came back.


  4. I must say I enjoyed Amish in the City but the program was not about the likes of any Amish I know. I think it's bogus and in many aspects. The Amish I know and have assisted at my job are decent, well mannered, and a plain people. The girls aren't even permitted to braid their hair. If you would notice that the girls just put on pierced earrings and makeup like they've done it all their lives and the curling iron didn't seem alien to the one *Amish* girl.


  5. Well all I can say is Good for you RikerChick for knowing the value of $$ and not wasting it on something like a car. :laugh:

     

    For years I drove a 1973 Dodge Dart that I joking said my sons by marriage were conceived in and born in but the truth is it was Daniel Jr.'s first car and he gave it to me upon buying a new truck. I also drove around in a old Dodge pickup truck.


  6. Daniel and I were watching television as we were cuddling on the sofa today and then Daniel offered me a job. He said it's hard to leave and know I'm here alone all week as he drives the 18 wheeler all week. He says he misses me and though we chat on the phone, send pages, and email he worries about me being here alone so much. I have friends at work and I have little Travis Spencer to take care of so I'm not so lonely.

     

    The job he is offering me is a life as a co-driver, he says he will put me through truck driving school and then we can rent the house out and travel about as truckers. He knows I can't and won't give Travis Spencer away so he may have considered my bringing him with us. I have to admit I'm intrigued by this but I've never been away from my little corner of Ohio. My parents moved to Kentucky and later to Florida and I have never visited either of there homes and that was 7 or 8 years ago. Daniel says I would get use to it and I may even enjoy the times we work and when we took days off we would explore and enjoy the states or even countries (Canada and Mexico) we visit.

     

    I at first, thought yes this could be fun but I didn't say anything as I have to think this through as strangers would be living in my home. My employer of over 12 years would have to replace me, and my daily routines would change in unimaginable ways. So basically the question is should I or shouldn't I, if I do it I would have to commit to it for at least a year. So there would be no oh just try it for a month or two situation.


  7. According to my dog Travis the reason he goes in and out is this. He wants to see what is going on with the neighborhood cats they are against him and plotting to destroy the planet and enslave humans you know. Then he wants in because he wants his *Mommie*. After seeing that his *Mommie* is okay and the cats didn't somehow invade the house and attacked me, he just has to go back out again to see what they are plotting to do and then inside. This happens several times a day and it's top secret, hush hush. If anyone that is reading this happens to own a cat. Travis ask that you don't open this post when they are in the room. He doesn't want the cats to know dogs and dogkind are on to them.


  8. Crying is way to release stress at times. My husband's Aunt schedules time in her live at least once a month to cry things out with her counselor and she does cry. If you're having a stressful time in your life or have unresolved issues this might be a way to work through the problem. I upon occassion cry for no reason and sometimes I fall asleep and when I wake I wake with a better clearer focus on my life. Next time this happens to you try to think about why you feel this way and what happened to cause this feeling. Also you may be getting close to your cycle and perhaps this was a bout of PMS. Whatever it may be, your not alone and all of your sisters are here if you need us. :waaaa:


  9. Three wishes, okay here's mine.

     

    No. 1. I would wish my husband's ex-wife Miss B. hadn't died.

     

    No. 2. That we could live a comfortable family livestyle and that Daniel loved Travis Spencer as much as I do. Daniel is away alot and I miss him so.

     

    No. 3. That there were no such diseases as Endometriosis or Cancer.


  10. Sitting here stunned. My husband prayed for me and my upcoming fate of having a Hysterectomy and when I got home I found that UPS had been here and left a package for my husband. I just thought it was one of many cell phones, pagers, or other junk he ordered throughout the year. Anyway Daniel said he didn't send for anything and asked me to open the box. It wasn't for Daniel it was for me, it's the drug Lupron Depot, I have to take it into the doctor's office and it will be injected into one of my muscles. It's not a cure but it will buy me some time. :laugh:


  11. Perhaps, but just because the scientists LOOKED white doesn't mean they are. This movie is set 25 to 27 years in the future and I have a lot of friends with bi-racials children. Some of the children look white, some look black, some look asian, some look indian, but all are loved and all are children under God.


  12. :flowers: My eldest brother. He was nine years older than me and he would allow me in his room and I found his stash of comics and StarTrek books and he would let me read them as much as I wanted. When he got married and moved out I was invited to visit him often and read whatever I wanted in his house.

  13. :blink: My mother's plan backfired T'pol_1 I love scifi and I read just about anything that interest me now. I also had a boyfriend in my teen years that was very skilled at drawing comics and my mother allowed me to keep his drawings. So art and imagination finds a way! :b-day:


  14. Oh the many comic books I had as a small child. My mother didn't approve of them so when she found them or even worse one of us reading them she would take us down the hill make us build a fire in a old campfire site and burn them. It didn't matter if it was a Richie Rich or a Superman comic. Mother viewed them as a waste of time. :blink:


  15. Back and had a great time at the movies, but for a little creepy kid in the row behind kept kicking the seats. I had to move during the movie to the next row. I went to see I, Robot. I loved it. At the movies they also showed a clip of an up and coming feature 'Aliens vs The Preditor'. :b-day: Naturally with me being a 'Alien' movie freak I have to see it but I don't think Sigourney Weaver is going to be in it. :blink:


  16. I know that they microchip animals so if they get lost they can be returned to the rightful owner. As for me, I think I would object to having a chip put into my body. I know I have to do the contact len for my right eye but to have a microchip placed in me just for banking or perhaps being located is frightening to me. The world's a changing so maybe later on my views will change on this.
