San Diego - 94.1 FM J&J Morning Show Drama Club Thread

[JDub04]

From FH's Blob (fyi: for the person who asked - FH = Fathead - that's our "pet name" for Tommy the piggie)

Friday November 2, 2007 11am: My son Eddie has a skateboard competition Saturday morning, so I am not able to do the Torrey Pines walk, but the regulars will be there for you if you are a first timer. Sunday I will be at Grossmont Center from 1-3pm with Kelly Clarkson tickets and other stuff trying to raise money for my BUDDIES FOR LIFE team to walk the 3 Day. wouldn't the rest of the walkers love to have free radio swag to use for fundraising?

]


I guess I should have had asked Eddie to come do some skateboarding tricks at the Pre-e Walk, then FH would have shown up. At least he is supporting Eddie, which we know doesn't happen often enough!

I can't believe he is using 'radio swag' to try to raise funds. I will have to come up with some 'swag' for the walk next year.

Still thinking about you Tex family.:angel:

[insightbyjake]

Tommy has bigger boobs than me!!!!!

You've been officially entered into the "Thin chicks that Boris likes" contest!!!!

Of course, I happen to agree with Boris many times regarding LBM's "plump" issues.

In fact, I was thinking today.....about the Olsen twins. Everyone writes about Mary Kate....talks about Mary Kate.....discusses Mary Kate... I'm worried about the fat one!


I know many writers feel men are too "thin-obsessed," I agree.

The fact is, men have eating disorders too, it's not anorexia.....it's called "being gay."

(Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

[longcommute]

I'm behind a few pages, but couldn't resist posting this:

Remind you of anyone?

Surfing_Texan--hang in there and know we're all pulling for you and little Tex!

[ElizabethAZ]

Aha Wonk, we knew you weren't really gone!!

[lionbear]

Daddy Tex, you & your family are in my thoughts & prayers.

[wonkatania]

Aha Wonk, we knew you weren't really gone!!


Actually, Yes, I did leave.

[shello]

wow, I too did not know how serious mama Tex was. I am sending out warm wishes for a speedy recovery for Sunnie and Eleanor Tex. Ya'll take care and get well so you are home together and eating Thanksgiving dinner together in a few weeks.

And daddy Tex, you hang in there! :)

[wanky]

Daddy Tex- Your wife, Eleanor, and your entire family are in my prayers. We are all believers of many different things and I believe miracles take place in people's lives everyday, even in the smallest thing. I will believe and pray for your wife's swift recovery and safe delivery of your sweet baby girl. Thank you for being up front and honest about your feelings with people you haven't met personally. Take care.

[Transplant]

has anyone heard any updates on the Tex family since our chatroom get together last night?

[iamsheens]

I'm not a youngster but not an oldster either...but it's always been an unwritten rule...(and common sense) If no lights are on and no decorations, then they're not participating in halloween

But maybe because she's a BIG DEAL in San Diego, those rules don't apply to her and her kids!

And one more point on her Nov 1st diary. . .

She says "Chip and Charlie were zipping up and down the street on their scooters in their costumes, which looked so funny! Chip was a skeleton zombie and Charlie was the scream guy. I was cracking up every time they'd pass us."

I fear driving anywhere on Halloween! Because of stupid parents who let their kids run out into the street. didn't one of us complain the other night about a bunch of parents and kids just walking right out into the street without looking?

But it's funny to LBM to watch the kids zipping down the streets on their scooters...


Yeah I was the one who could have hit some kids on Halloween night cause the parents were letting them cross semi-busy intersections wearing all black...I even said it reminded me of something Laura would do....wow did I nail that one!

[iamsheens]

Once you have the keys, you can come and go whenever you like. It's OUR room...forever. We can set up times to chat, or you can come here to tell folks you're around, or just drop by.

Please note, if you don't have a DC #, we probably won't tell you how to find us :)

The room is for all of us...for any reason. Come and chat, say hi, get to know each other and still be totally anonymous. We're using our DC names.

See you there!! (there's a bunch of us there now!):cheers:

How do we get into the chat room and is there set times you guys are talking....I missed a day and I feel like I missed a month...so hopefully I haven't already missed on this opportunity

[Transplant]

Send a PM to SDGirl87 and she'll send you a link with a password....

[iamsheens]

You all were busy posting yesturday. It took me over an hour to read all the posts...So a few comments to make....

Daddy Tex, your post was so touching. I am at work and had I read this at home I would have been crying....I have a really bad headache to prevent me from crying. I just cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. I hope everything works out for the best. I just feel for you so much, Sonnie is a strong girl and I know she will make it through...

Anyways I'm not sure if you are still taking comments on what to do with your kids but I think if your kids can handle it then I think it would help the kids and momma tex to have that interaction. The last time they saw her was during the fires and if that is the last time they see her that may be hard for them as they get older. Of course I pray that this situation does not happen.
My grandma died a few years ago and I remember I'd go visit her and there would be days that she was uncouncious from all the morphine and drugs they were giving her and I would talk to her and sometimes she would smile or small stuff like that. I remember seeing her the day before she died and it was really hard but I'm glad I had that opportunity...sometimes I think about how I would see her so frail and unresponsive it scared me at the time but I'm glad I got to see her and spend as much time with her before she was gone...I know Im older than your kids and the circumstances are a little different but at least I had some sort of closure....

its such a hard decision and your kids are so young (or at least i think) but they are probably scared and missing mommy and if you can explain to them that she needs their love right now cause she is very sick...I'm sure they won't care that she can't respond or can't give them the love they want from her. Then again it may be best to let them remember their mom in a healthy and happy way and not see her so helpless...I dont know I really hope she is doing okay....has anyone heard any updates?

Anyways I wrote a book I just am so sad by all of this...I hope for the best and your in my thoughts.

Did you guys decide to go to grossmont tommorow? I wish I could attend but I'll be thinking about the fun your having while Im in cold Missouri....maybe I could get photoshopped into the pic?

Hope everyone else is doing good as well....I shouldn't not log in for a day I always feel so out of the loop and dilbert like...

[iamsheens]

Send a PM to SDGirl87 and she'll send you a link with a password....

Im going to sound like an idiot when I say this but....how do I pm someone? I know, I know....I should be punished for asking such a silly question...:throw:

Click on their name and you get a list of options including sending a PM (private message) to them. Click on that option and you'll get a screen just like the ones we post on and you can type whatever you want and then click send, i think.

I'm gonna send you a PM. Hold onto your chair iamsheens!

That was wild, I just about fell out of my chair!

hahah which reminds me of a totally unrelated story but it makes me laugh so I'll share it anyways...

Let me start off the story by saying I'm like 5"1 and barely weight a 100 pounds and probably was a little lighter back then....But anyways, so 4 years ago when I moved to Missouri I lived by myself in a apartment complex. I had the bottom complex and my upstairs neighboors would complain to the manager of the apartments that I slammed my doorloud...One day they said I slammed the door so loud that they and their friend (all tommy size) fell off of the couch due to me "slamming" my door....I had to laugh because I don't have the ability to knock anyone down much less people that are heavier than me...and even if I could my door couldn't...

haha ok maybe Im the only one that will be amused with that story...maybe you had to be there....

[Wabbitsd]

I think it's funny! what was their problem with you? Maybe you didn't grocery shop enough, and they were concerned that you weren't keeping the stores in business for them?

[iamsheens]

I think it's funny! what was their problem with you? Maybe you didn't grocery shop enough, and they were concerned that you weren't keeping the stores in business for them?

Lol they were bitter I guess...lol...maybe it is easy to assume I don't eat because I am so skinny....not my fault I have a high metabolism...its ok it will catch up with me someday and I will wish I was still as skinny... at least that is what my mom tells me...

I dont know they were bad neighboors....almost as bad as the neighboors I had in another complex that would move furniture in the middle of the night...at least thats what I would hope was happening...:puke:

[ElizabethAZ]

Wow, it sure has slowed down over here since we started chat. SDGirl87 can get you hooked up if you haven't been in yet.

Daddy Tex, hope all is well today, and let Eleanor be born soon. She should be fine at 29 weeks, and she needs her mama.

[11ListenerNot]

Listener 13, I love your added commentary to FH's blobs. You crack me up!

[ca_girl]

1st - Surfing_texan dad - my prayers are with you & your entire family!

2nd - I wish LBM had gone to my father's school to try that. She would crap herself if she did that & he saw her. He's VERY protective of "his" fields & he will get in anyone's face & yell at them. anyone walking on them when they shouldn't be is a BIG DEAL. Of course, LBM, would run away (and probably leave Chimpie behind) & then tell her kids later that she was not the one in the wrong!

Amused - I hope you talk to DC & let him know that we all hope he's like you & teaches his kids morals & the law!

[SDGirl87]

Good morning everyone. It's about 11:10 a.m., and many of you know that I'm supposed to go to the hospital to be with Sunnie and DaddyTex. I got the following PM from him at 4:30 this morning. I have not been able to get a hold of him yet, but have left a message. I will keep you all posted as I hear ANYTHING. To the many who have PMed me asking for what you can do and leaving phone numbers and email addresses...you are all so awesome. It made me choke up. We learned in the chat room last night about an important upcoming family event for the Tex family (other than what's going on right now) that I think we can all participate in and make very special.

To catch those up who were not able to join us last night...the situation is a lot worse than probably any of us realized. Sunnie is very very sick. She has an infection in the lining of her heart, and has developed lesions on her heart. She is in and out wakefulness and not very responsive. The baby is at 29 weeks, and according to the doctor's best guess, she weighs approximately 3 lbs and her lungs are about 80% developed. Sunnie is definitely the sicker of the two. As of last night, DaddyTex was going to meet with a chaplain to discuss their "options", neither of which is good, but one must be chosen. The first option was to deliver the baby right away and take their chances with a preemie who will have tremendous medical complications and possibly may not make it. This option would allow Sunnie some extra reserves to try and fight the infection, but is no guarantee. The other option is to let Sunnie continue to carry the baby for a few more days or weeks, to try and give her better odds, but puts Sunnie's life in critical danger. DaddyTex was wrestling with this and had a meeting with his chaplain last night.

At 4:30 this morning, I got a PM from him with the following information: They are taking Sunnie in to operate now. Her blood pressure dropped as well as her heart rate and Eleanors. I'm sorry, I did not want to stand you up in the morning, or call you at this time of day. I will check back when I can. Thank you and please pass on my thanks to the others.

I have not had any other communication with him thus far, but I promise...from the bottom of my heart, that I will update you all as soon as I hear anything at all.

If you believe in prayer, please pray. If you believe in sending out good energy to the universe, please do it. If you believe in breaking rocks for luck, break them. Call upon that which you believe in for a positive outcome.

More later...

[OhPulleez!]

Saturday November 3, 2007 5am: It's a cold morning in Temecula! I'm up early! We got a room at the Temecula Creek Inn, because I didn't want to drive back and forth so early in the morning for Eddie's skateboard competition at 8am. The room is kind of cool on the golf course. Eddie's golfs MORE than me. I'm with Michelle. Last night after Eddie's practice we went to dinner at a place called FUJIYAMA which is basically a junior Benhihana's. It's a nice place and Eddie loves it. I've been there twice this week with him and that's not good, if you're someone trying to stay away from FRIED RICE. :) Speaking of rice, I told Michelle yesterday that I grew up eating white rice almost everyday of my life. A pot of steamed rice was always on. That's the way it was. It went with everything we had. She looked at me kind of strange when I told her that. I guess with my skin being light, she doesn't realize I'm from a brown family. :)

The countdown to the 3 Day is on. I can getaway with wearing a pair of shorts or two throughout the weekend. I can rotate 2-3 shirts and I can bring 3 pairs of socks and some funky shorts to sleep in. I'm getting excited about the walk and I'm getting excited about packing.

Thursday night, the night before, I have to figure out if I'm taking the kids to Hannah Montana or if Amanda my step daughter is. Vanessa is TOO YOUNG to be dropped off at a concert and then get them after it's over.

With work and family stuff that includes my mom and the engagement and thinking about the date to get married and the preparation in purchasing a new place, one thing that is happening that is right before my eyes that needs some attention is the fact that my lovely daughter is becoming a teenager. She's already mastered the pre-teen years and she's looking like a 16 year old, but the boys, the topics she talks about, her interests, her attitude, her after school friends, etc. is probably at the HIGH point in her life where it carries over to her adult years. I think I'm pretty much the same person I was in spirit when I was 12-13 and I cherish those friends I had back then when I was her age AND I still talk to them all. What I'm trying to say is this: I want my daughter to be a nun! Help me, God, Help Me Lord.

Eddie is feeling really good about his competition. I'm saying the same stuff and the usual stuff you are suppose to say to your son. Just have fun. Be focused. It's okay if you make a mistake. BUT, deep down inside I want my son to win. He wants to win too, but I told him he can't go into this EXPECTING to win. He should want to win, but don't feel too cocky about it. Right?

As for Michelle and I. We are doing well. There's some stuff going on that I need to make private and to keep to ourselves from now on, but I've never been so happy in my life and I have never been so at peace and it feels so good to go through life with a person like Michelle right there next to me. I feel I have my YOKO like John did. I have my LINDA like Paul did. I'm not trying to copy the Beatles, but I do know about their lives AND the love they had for their YOKO and LINDA is what I have finally found in Michelle. Michelle Mabelle, sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble.

Today, we will walk along the park as Eddie practices this morning and we're planning on walking tonight too. I regret missing Torrey and Iron today and missing Cowles tomorrow, but tomorrow Sunday at Grossmont Center I'll be raising money for the 3 Day from 1pm to 3pm and I have Kelly Clarkson tickets and stuff like that.

GO CHARGERS !
GO COLTS !

[OhPulleez!]

Back to the game....



The countdown to the 3 Day is on. I can getaway with wearing a pair of shorts or two throughout the weekend. I can rotate 2-3 shirts and I can bring 3 pairs of socks and some funky shorts to sleep in. I'm getting excited about the walk and I'm getting excited about packing.(Too disgusting to even think about the lack of fresh clothing for a 60 mile hike!)

Thursday night, the night before, I have to figure out if I'm taking the kids to Hannah Montana or if Amanda my step daughter is. Vanessa is TOO YOUNG to be dropped off at a concert and then get them after it's over. (Actually would love to credit him with some good parenting on this one, but somehow I have a feeling that mom is putting her foot down, he's taking the credit.)

With work and family stuff that includes my mom and the engagement and thinking about the date to get married and the preparation in purchasing a new place, one thing that is happening that is right before my eyes that needs some attention is the fact that my lovely daughter is becoming a teenager.(Ya think? DUH!) She's already mastered the pre-teen years and she's looking like a 16 year old, but the boys, the topics she talks about, her interests, her attitude, her after school friends, etc. is probably at the HIGH point in her life where it carries over to her adult years. I think I'm pretty much the same person I was in spirit when I was 12-13 (And in every other way possible you are still an adolescent!) and I cherish those friends I had back then when I was her age AND I still talk to them all. What I'm trying to say is this: I want my daughter to be a nun! Help me, God, Help Me Lord.

(He's seen every clear example of cockiness from you already.) Right?

As for Michelle and I. We are doing well. There's some stuff going on that I need to make private and to keep to ourselves from now on, (HA! Busted by Mooch!) but I've never been so happy in my life and I have never been so at peace and it feels so good to go through life with a person like Michelle right there next to me.

I regret missing Torrey and Iron today and missing Cowles tomorrow, but tomorrow Sunday at Grossmont Center I'll be raising money for the 3 Day from 1pm to 3pm and I have Kelly Clarkson tickets and stuff like that. (Added by you because we had to be reminded of what a big deal you are?)

GO CHARGERS !
GO COLTS !

[RedWillow]

DaddyTex, my thoughts and prayers are enroute for you and your family.

[CJ]

I too have been praying for Sunnie and all the Tex family. I check on here whenever I can, hoping to read of positive developments. What a difficult decision Daddy Tex has to make. I pray that he finds the strength to make the best decision for his family.

I would also like to say how touched I have been by the outpouring of support here, both for the Tex family and during the fires. What I find amazing is that a lot of the people here (myself included) have only been posting here for a few months. It says a lot about the type of people on here that such a strong community could be formed in such a short time. It also makes FH and his pathetic life look even more shallow.

[SDGirl87]

Hi all...

Don't forget to move your clocks back an hour before going to bed tonight! An extra hour of sleep :hihi: WAHOOOOOO :woohoo: :blite:

[mamalellie]

Thanks, I probably would have slept right through church!!OOPs I'm a ditz!! I would have gone to church early and wondered where all my friends were!LOL

[SDGirl87]

Nope...you would have been an hour EARLY. You get an extra hour tonight...back not forward!!

[PeaPod]

Prayers go out to Sunnie and the Tex family. Stay well, stay loved. Know that we're all here for you at a moment's notice!

Thanks for the updates, SDGirl.

[LisaP]

SDGirl87 - Thank you so much for the update. I am hoping all of the thoughts and prayers being sent the Tex Family way are working wonders.

[cheekymonkey]

SDGirl87 - Thank you so much for the update. I am hoping all of the thoughts and prayers being sent the Tex Family way are working wonders.


Add me to the list of prayers. With all the world wide medicine known to man, I hope they can do whatever is possible to help both these girls!

Lots of prayers and hope to mama, papa and baby tex.

[ElizabethAZ]

Daddy Tex, we don't have the right phone number for you. Please call SDGirl87 when you get a chance and let her know how the ladies are doing!

Still praying here in AZ.

[blondmom]

SDgirl, thank you for the Tex updates, I keep checking back to this site..hoping for news

I'm not really a chat room type of girl, too shy...and you guys are so witty, I don't think I could keep up!

As far as the Latest Tubby Blog, I only hope that his "secret" news is not a Baby...the Horror of that.

Please post any Tex updates, for those of us not in the Chat Club

[OneKidOneDogMom]

BlondMom and everyone, the chat room is a wonderful place. Lots of concern and friendship spilling over - a great place to share thoughts and ideas on how we can come together and help Sunnie and Daddy Tex. Everyone is welcome!

Continued good thoughts and prayers going out to the whole Tex Clan!

[oops]

Oh dear. Popped on to find the note from Daddy Tex and my heart is aching! Again, as with the fires, I'm touched enormously by the outpouring on this thread. My prayers are with you dear family during this unbelievable struggle. Please take some solace in knowing that you have people caring about you that have never "met" you, but who feel deeply for all you are going through. And the updates are so kind! Thank you. Blessings to all.:halo:

[longcommute]

Wow, it sure has slowed down over here since we started chat. SDGirl87 can get you hooked up if you haven't been in yet.

I haven't ventured into the chat room (or pm'd SDGirl to get a key), but the one thing that comes to mind about the chat room is that Tommy and company can't see our chats...and therefore wince when confronted with the truth.

[longcommute]

Duh. Caught up a page and realized y'all were talking about the Tex family in private there. Wishing them all the best.

[Jammie J.]

My thoughts and prayers are with the Texan family, too. Please let us know how they're doing...

[Jammie J.]

A belated Happy Birthday to JammieJ (Nov 1) :wavey2:

Thanks, Amused, that's really very sweet of you. :)

[Jammie J.]

so, i popped over to the other ClearChannel stations that are participating in the $ drive at Qualcomm...and guess what!!!!

Everyone else is still at the Q broadcasting live! I guess the BIG DEALS are too important to stay and broadcast in the parking lot

I'm sure they had to get back to the station STAT... breakfast (or food that passes as their breakfast) was waiting and their blood sugar was dropping!

[pax]

SDGirl, thanks so much for the update on Sunnie. This is just do incredibly awful. One day she's posting here and the next she's fighting for her and her daughters' lives. I can say that unless there was some other stuff going on with the pregnancy that we don't know about 29 weeks gestation gives Eleanor really good odds of survival. Fingers crossed. I'm sending all of my love and healing energy to Sunnie, Eleanor and her family.

[BebeSD]

Terrible news about Sunnie and the Tex family. NO idea it was so dire, but I am holding them in my hearts... please let us know anything...

[assvin]

During this whole fire/ tex dadi thing I have remained quiet....sooooo much going on I thought that if I didn't have anything beneficial, I had no use ( assvin #34)

Positive/healing energy to youwx Dadi T...........

I hate to reference the "Secret" here for fear of being scorned by villagers. But I do believe in the of physics of cause and effect, which essentially is what "The Secret" promotes.
"put good stuff out there, good stuff comes back....." the basic rule of Karma.

I know a lot of you think this is hooey, but I beg to differ.....
I was taught to think, not to just believe.........it is MY personal opinion, but I think people who come to religion their own way is more honest.I have a hard time believing zealots......they challenge me most...........

[SanDiegan]

I agree with you, assvin...
Although "The Secret" bothered me because they focused FAR TOO MUCH on how to obtain money, I also agree that it is the basics of karma, and the power of intention and visualization.

That's essentially what prayer is, too. Sending good, postive, healing thoughts to the universe for someone.

It certainly doesn't hurt for all of us to send our positive thoughts to the Tex family. I have been so happy to see our DC community band together to help someone. :)

[SDGirl87]

Hi everyone, as promised I am updating as I find out new information.

Baby Eleanor Loren was born at approximately 5:30 this morning. She weighs 3 lbs, 2 oz. She needed a blood transfusion at birth, but since then has done pretty well on her own. She is being moved from the hospital that they are currently at to one with a better NICU.

Sunnie is in rough shape. The infection in her heart is pretty bad and causing a lot of other problems. She had emergency surgery this morning and will probably have more either tonight or tomorrow. At this time, she is heavily medicated. Her Mother has arrived and is with her.

DaddyTex is overwhelmed with exhaustion and emotion. He is very very thankful to all of you for your prayers and PMs and concern. He has had a rough day and not much sleep. The other kids will be home tomorrow, so then he'll have a whole new set of stresses on top of it all.

Please keep up the prayers, good wishes, positive energy, rock breaking or whatever. Our sweet Sunnie is not out of the woods. She's very very sick.

More as I get it...thanks.

[LisaP]

Welcome to the world Eleanor, stay strong!

Sunnie, keep fighting, our thoughts are with you.

Daddy Tex, congrats on your daughter. We are with you and your family for Sunnie's recovery.

[pax]

Thanks for the update SDGirl87. Hang in there Tex family.

I can be there. How who you are? I can let you know it's me by asking if you are a DC member.

[SDReadhead]

I can be there. How who you are? I can let you know it's me by asking if you are a DC member.

To any and all of the DC tribe that makes it out to Fatty's "I'm a Big Deal and I have to scramble to get a few bucks for the charity walk I'm going to lie my way out of" fiasco today -- you are my idols! I'd love to go but I am working at a fund-raiser for my kids' high school. I know that in the spirit of LBM I should ditch the fund raiser, stop off at 7-11 for a scratcher and a smoke, and then head on down to join you, but I'm only on chapter 2 of LBM's book "How to be a Good Mom and Wife."

Post pics! Have a laugh for those of us who can't make it.

I've been off the computer for a couple of days and just caught up. So sorry to hear about Tex....my thoughts are with her and her family.

I won't make it to the "Big Deal" event today either. I'm in North County and frankly, I'm not going to waste gas to go see FH.

[pastherprime]

I know that in the spirit of LBM I should ditch the fund raiser, stop off at 7-11 for a scratcher and a smoke, and then head on down to join you, but I'm only on chapter 2 of LBM's book "How to be a Good Mom and Wife."

Post pics! Have a laugh for those of us who can't make it.

:D :D :D

:turkey:

[Daisy CA]

I'll try to make it today. We have a brunch to go to, so I'm hoping it will be over with by 2pm. I'll probably have my two kids with me. Maybe we can hide and throw spitballs at FH!

[ca_girl]

Tex Family - you are all in my prayers!!!


Saturday November 3, 2007 5am: The countdown to the 3 Day is on. I can getaway with wearing a pair of shorts or two throughout the weekend.

Thursday night, the night before, I have to figure out if I'm taking the kids to Hannah Montana or if Amanda my step daughter is.

Ok - first... EWWWW. DISGUSTING! I know your shorts are extremely heavy because of all the material you need, but COME ON!

I actually figured taht Amanda was taking them in the first place & he was NO PART of this at all. Vanessa probably told him she was going with Amanda & he decided to make it look like he was a "good dad" & inject himself into this story.

[SDGirl87]

Hi everyone, I did not get any overnight updates from DaddyTex. The last I heard, things were unchanged other than Mommy and Baby both being moved from the hospital where they currently are to a hospital with a better NICU. DaddyTex wants to keep them together, so the entire Tex family will probably be moved.

The other Tex-ites will be home today, being brought in by Gramma Tex.

I will update as I'm able (I won't be near a computer for most of the day).

While we are praying for the Tex family, please also remember to keep DirtyBlindGirl in your prayers. She is the DC member with both parents suffering from breast cancer. Her Mom has taken a turn for the worse and is not doing well at all. The prognosis is very grim. She has kept in touch with another of our DC members (I'm sorry, I don't remember who it is anymore!) which is how we know what's going on. (it came up in the chat room.)

Thanks y'all. We're a nifty group!!

Sunday November 4, 2007 7am
Sunday, November 4, 2007 at 12:32pm

Sunday November 4, 2007 7am: Good morning! Did you set the clocks back? I’m having a great weekend with each set of the kids and with Michelle. Michelle and I are actually trying to figure out the date to our wedding and who and where and stuff like that. I’m ready today and so is she, but it’s about making sure our parents and children are part of this. To have my mom at my wedding will be a dream come true. We already wrote down on a legal pad all the names that came to my mind at first to be at the wedding, so far we’re 3,076 names and that’s just HER side. J

The weekend is just about to be over and I haven’t walked or anything over the last few days. I’ve gathered all my STUFF to pack for the 3 day. I just need to put it in a duffle bag or whatever. Yesterday, when Michelle was getting a manicure, I was nodding out and ready to go to sleep, so I went for a walk in the little strip mall area and I ran into a ACUPUNCTURE place. I went in and said, “I feel good all over, I walked and hiked for most of the year, I’m doing 60 miles next weekend, I go up and down in my weight, a lot is on my mind, but I handle it and I handle stress really well”. Dr. Wang said, “okay, I can help, come in and lay down”……He gave me a “general” poking so to speak and I think I understand how this MAY work. I get it and I think it makes sense to me. He gave me a poking to give me more energy for the rest of the day and to sleep well when I go to bed. Well, when we left I did have a lot of energy IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN and when I went down to sleep around 6pm, I was out longer than the usual nap, I was out for the night….I go back tomorrow morning at 11. I’m still not sure if I’m a believer or not, but it’s a trip to be poked all over the place. I used the 32’s if you’re a acupuncture person. I go up on Monday. Does that make sense?

Eddie: The lesson learned and taught yesterday has to be sportsmanship. To shake hands with the person who wins and loses. Eddie took 2nd. As a dad and as a person watching, “Eddie got robbed again”, but it was cool because the person who won was his best friend Jake. That was good to see and it was great to see how Eddie handled it. He smiled and shook Jake’s hand, but deep down inside I think Eddie knew he probably could of or should of won too, BUT that’s not the point. The point is to have good sportsmanship and to know what to do NEXT TIME to make it so obvious if you want to take 1st. In my opinion 4 other kids could of slipped in and took 1st place just as well, so the NEXT thing to learn is to learn what to do to just DOMINATE. Eddie’s almost there. Eddie and his skateboard is just about to dominate and he just needs to start getting air and flipping around and doing 360’s and 720’s and 900’s…..

Today, Christmas lights are going up at my house. This morning Chargers take on the Vikings. This afternoon THE SUPERBOWL between COLTS AND PATS. I’ll be at Grossmont Center from 1pm to 3pm raising money for the 3 day. I’ll have concert tickets and everything.

I feel good this morning. I have been on that good diet or watching what I eat over the last couple of days, but it’s time to start now. I want to go into the 3 day well rested and not FULL. J

[ElizabethAZ]

He gave me a “general” poking so to speak

Hmm, what does THAT mean? :gle:

[11th Reader]

Ewww...I don't want to think of FH and any sort of poking in the same sentence.

[PQ Gal]

Continued prayers for The Tex family and also for DirtyBlindGirl and her parents. IT is good to know that we are all there for each other, really a quality group with a terrific sense of humor.

[DreamerGal]

Tummy-Tubby-FatHead-Weasel-Boy is stupid, stupid, stupid.

He thinks HE can teach his son about good sportsmanship? Closest he will get to that is to ride Amused's coattails after SHE has taught the concept, then take credit for her hard work.

JackA$$$$$$!!! I just want to SPIT!!

[blondmom]

a true "sport"would never write in a public forum that he had been robbed of his win...to his best friend. how will this kid feel if he reads this, or his parents read it.

jerk!

it is great to support your child, and be proud of them...but don't give the details for the world to read. my son would be horrified if i did that.

lots of prayers and warm wishes for the Tex family, hang in there Mom and Baby Tex. Lots of people are pulling for you.

[zodiac]

Just wanted to check in and say HI. Still sending lots of love and prayers to the Tex family, hope we hear something soon.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. Chargers are slacking a bit, but my hometown Broncos are getting their a$$es creamed. Pitiful is about all I can say.

Was someone going to spy on FH today? Tell us what happened!

[iamsheens]

All I have to say is if my team, THE COLTS loose today its Tommy's fault for choosing to root for them, he is bad luck....look at what happened to the Chargers...

[listener13]

First of all, sending a lot of positive energy to the Tex family - if wishes could heal, you'd have enough wishes and more from this forum.

Secondly - I wish that Mr. Arrogant would quit comparing himself and Skana-give-me-money to John and Yoko.....come on, dude - you're killing us. John was extremely talent, you are not. Yoko - well she had her own set of problems (as does Mochelle) - maybe that's the "Secret"? Either way, you are not now, not will EVER be John Lennon, so get over your big-boobed fat-assed self.

Thirdly - how DARE you give away station swag to earn money for the 3Day - you should have raised funds like everyone else - through HARD work. You do everything the easy and lame way - go ahead and walk your 2 miles (if you even get THAT far) and think you've done a good thing - whatever.

I wonder if the radio station is sponsoring Tommy for the three day? It is unfair for them to give away free tickets so people will donate...how bout giving the tickets away and collecting donations for fire victims...they need it more than Tommy....


ugh....he makes me so mad.

[Swifty]

Who else puts up Christmas lights this early (will be surprised if he ever takes them down...you know he's so religious...has he gone to church lately???)...with all the other crap he has in his front yard...I'm sure his neighbors love him (NOT)...glad I don't live near him in PQ...I live in PQ, just lucky it's not near him... Shouldn't he wait until after Thanksgiving...

[mamalellie]

Hi, just checking in. I wasn't able to make to FH fiasco but I'll bet one of our friends will take some FH pics and Wonk can do his wonders on them!! Keep up the positive energy, prayers and/or good thoughts for the Tex family and for dirtyblindgirls parents.
Those darn Chargers :(

I guess when your a big deal you can put Christmas lights up whenever you want....and I guess you also have no disregard for your neighbors.....does he live in an HOA neighborhood?

I know this is an old blog, but I got behind here...


Thursday November 1, 2007 5am
Thursday, November 1, 2007 at 9:00am
READING A BOOK: Well, anyway: I started to read it and I'm glad I did, because it made me understand the things I do and that when TEMPTATION is part of my life. Temptation for me is partying. I don't drink as I used to. Last time I had a beer was in Charlotte last month. I can do without drinking and I would rather drink a bottled water than a Jack and Coke. I also need to make sure I don't make that turn where for me it's the 1970's and early 80's all over again and we're in some friends garage saying "earrrrr".....You know what I mean? That's what temptation is for me to put in a mild way for this blog, but I'm sure the few of you that are in the club know what I mean. Hi, my name's Tommy!
Sounds like Tommy really could use AA, not just for the warm fuzzy feelings he got sharing stuff about his brothers.


Getting married: I want this wedding to be special for Michelle. I'm thinking a casual feel on or near the beach for some reason. I want it to be relaxed not all dressy. I want all my family, especially my mom and kids to be there.

?I don't know what he's fibbing about here, but that's his tell...maybe he's trying to communicate to Michelle--I WANT IT CHEAP.

And I'm pretty sure Tommy will let Michelle become his excuse for not walking the 3-day. She'll twist her ankle or get food poisoning or something and he'll step out to take care of her.

I started to watch the latest TommyTube and I could not finish it--how bizarre. Lisa B is clearly annoyed by them, Tommy keeps asking the stupidest questions, and Laura can't stop bobbing and weaving like she's coming down from antipsychotics. Bleh.

Texfamily--hope you're all doing well and I'm thinking about you all lots!

[OneKidOneDogMom]

I went to the fundraising "rally" at Grossmont Center today and took some pictures of our good buddies XXXL and Moochelle! I managed to identify one other Forum buddy in the crowd and we had a nice conversation while we waited around :)

I have to fire up my other computer to download them but I should be able to post them tonight...

Just a couple of thoughts now, though:

* XXXL looks like he's 7 months pregnant - he was wearing navy blue shorts and a huge navy blue t-shirt. He is SHORT (I'm 5'3" and he was not much taller than me!) and much more grey streaked hair than I expected.

* Moochelle is tall and thin - she is very blond and looks like the proverbial "Southern California-2nd or 3rd marriage-trophy wife". How she can be with XXXL is beyond me - I couldn't do it. She had her youngest there (very cute kid!) and was with several other ladies.

* I saw no public displays of affections *at all* between the two of them - a few verbal exchanges but she stayed to the side and didn't get involved at all.

* Considering this was supposed to be a fundraising rally for the 3-Day, there were no speakers or representatives from the 3-Day there that I saw. The only ladies that I talked to who were wearing 3-Day shirts tried to recruit me to walk at Torrey Pines with them! And XXXL only mentioned the donation bucket for the 3-Day as an aside after he was done giving away the Kelly Clarkson tickets and the other "station goodies"

Okay - pictures to follow - hopefully there's at least one shot that Wonk can do something with :)

[BecInCA]

Hey "OKODM" - it was great to meet you today :shakehand. Good job on the "on-the-scene" reporting. I can only add that FH literally bumped right into to me as I was going by the STAR 94.1 booth. He didn't even say excuse me - what a jerk. BTW, there is no way he is below 200 lbs. All in all, he looked pretty miserable having to be there. He kept asking what the Colts-Patriot score was and having his minions keep trying to get score updates. Way to be there for your fans FH! He didn't really seem all that into the whole thing. Of course, he is a BIG DEAL - IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

[PeaPod]

Oh, you guys are so awesome for going down there and getting the real scoop for all of us! I can't wait to see those pix (and what Wonk will do w/them).

I know he's scum and I don't know why I would expect more (except I guess I have problems with always trying to see the best in people, but I think I've totally given up on FH) but I can't believe this was hardly about the 3-day! And they were trying to recruit to walk at TP, not even the race! Ugh, that makes me sick and mad and irritable! Stupid FH. And LBM. Okay, I feel better.

Also want to mention lots of continued thoughts and prayers for Tex family and little Eleanor. I hope Sunnie is gathering strength from her family and her new little one and all of our thoughts for her here.

[Daisy CA]

I planned to get over to Grossmont today, but my daughter was taking an extra long nap and I just didn't have the heart to wake her. Hope to meet some of you fellow DC-ers at another time. Can't wait to see the pics!

[insightbyjake]

Don't know if his house is a HOA neighborhood or not...mine's not...


Of course it's an HOA neighborhood.

HOA.....that's an acronym for "House of Addicts" right?

[Swifty]

That was a good one!!!

[WhoMe]

I have been out of touch since Thursday...Whoa, had no idea Sunnie was in that much trouble. Prayers and positive thoughts to the entire Tex family. Please do just ask if there is anything we can do. I think we'd all happily donate a meal or whatever is needed to help out the family. Hang in there Sunnie you bring so much to your children, your husband, extended family and your invisible friends. Welcome to the world Eleanor Loren...get strong and don't give daddy and mommy anything to worry about until you start dating.

If there were any justice FH would be in the hospital and Sunnie would be preparing for the 3-day (even if only as a spectator).

[iamsheens]

Of course it's an HOA neighborhood.

HOA.....that's an acronym for "House of Addicts" right?


LOL, how right you are Jake!

[pax]

Waiting on pins and needles for Sunnie and Eleanor updates...

[pastherprime]

May all of you be at peace and in much improved health.

[iamsheens]

Waiting on pins and needles for Sunnie and Eleanor updates...


I think we are all in the same situation...

[dirtyblindgurl]

Thank you all for the positive thoughts my way. My mom is not doing well at all. She has fought an incredible battle against breast cancer, esophageal cancer and now it has spread. She has been on life support for the last few days and we will decide tomorrow what to do. She has a potential blood infection that has formed (sepsis) and it is not a good outlook. All she wanted and all we had hoped for was to take her home to pass away. Does not look like that will happen. I wrote a eulogy to her tonight. We are preparing for the worst outcome, yet hoping for the best. BTW,sorry for the weird Log-in name. I am actually quite normal and not blind. Will explain at a later date :)
Thanks again for your kind thoughts. I know this is *not* what the DC Board is for, but is has certainly morphed into a nice supportive offshoot. Many thanks!

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Okay, I am not a photographer nor am I a computer genius like some on here - I cannot figure out how to post the pix from Grossmont directly here so I'll just give you the links and hope they work:

Hope these links work!

[OneKidOneDogMom]

DirtyBlindGurl, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family tonight. I hope that you know that if you need anything, we stand here just waiting to help....

{{{Hugs}}}

[insightbyjake]

If there were any justice FH would be in the hospital and Sunnie would be preparing for the 3-day (even if only as a spectator).

Okay, WhoMe, forgive me here...that would not be justice.

Isn't it curious how people you hate, have people who love them?

FH in a hospital would be a bad situation for two young children -- even if they get frustrated by him.

Sunnie out of a hospital? Great stuff! FH in one, not the kind of idea we want to promote -- even IF he's FH.

Malcolm Gladwell wrote an interesting book titled, "The Tipping Point." It's premise was, it is often the little shift that produces the greatest change.

Sunnie "releasing" the child, is my prayer's "Tipping Point." She is alone and able to fight the infection, without placing strain on the baby. When we know our child is safe, we are able to sacrifice "self" in order to maintain that situation.

Sunnie is a Marine as much as her husband. They are kindred spirits and will "get some" now that Eleanor is protected.:boxing:

[insightbyjake]

We are preparing for the worst outcome, yet hoping for the best.

You will get both -- the worst and best outcome.

The "worst" is your loss of the "person" your mom was in your life.

The "best" is the loss of the pain of death she is undergoing.

The "outcome" for all of us is set -- we will die. That's why the journey ALWAYS trumps the destination.

My prayer is you enjoyed the journey that was your mother! What a gift you were to her -- and she was to you.

[wanky]

OKODMom, I tried the links but it says "Private Photos". Sorry, I can't help. Thanks for the FH fundraising fiasco update. I bet tomorrow he will make a big deal about over the airwaves or in his blob. I wonder how much money he raised. Did it seem like many people were donating?

[wanky]

Jake, you always the know just the right words to say and with brevity. Thanks for putting things into perspective.

[mamalellie]

I am still praying for the Tex family and for your mom,dirtyblindgurl. Sorry you have to go thru this but just know that we are all here for you. Love these invisible friends!
Thanks to you two who braved the FH scene! Why on earth is mooch with FH? Oh, that's right, we know her "secret" but does FH?

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Just FYI, I changed the photos to be "public" now so hopefully they will open for you guys....

If they don't, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[RowdyOne]

OKODMom, I tried the links but it says "Private Photos". Sorry, I can't help. I clicked on the links and they worked right away. I think you missed a shot after #1270 when FH did a 180 and charged into the food court.

[mamalellie]

I was able to see them. Mooch is way too pretty to be with FH but I am sure that Amused was way too pretty, too!

[pax]

1Kid1DogMom, thanks for the pix. I was able to view them without any problems. I have to say that Moochelle is really pretty. What the heck is she doing with FH?

[wanky]

I clicked on the links and they worked right away. I think you missed a shot after #1270 when FH did a 180 and charged into the food court.


LOL!!my thoughts exactly

[11th Reader]

Ok, there is NO way that he is less than 200 pounds looking from those pictures. They say a camera adds 10 pounds, he's got to have like 10 cameras on him then.

[RowdyOne]

Re photo 1275: Mooch, please put a hat/visor/sunglasses on your kid. You know hypopigmentation runs in your family, get a clue! I know we are leaving the kids out of this thread, but OMG, this is a parental obligation!

[BebeSD]

Thanks for the pictures and making your way down there!

[WhoMe]

Good shots OneKidOneDog! Not 200 lbs. but maybe back up in the 240 range (remember he's not that tall!) Mooch is pretty and the kid is cute too. Jake, I know you're right. I still feel like FH is a waste of oxygen and I hope that each day he will become just a bit more like the parent that he thinks he already is. (Or would that be "pretends" that he already is?)

[DreamerGal]

Thank you, OKODMom. The pictures were great. 1288 looks like he's getting ready to mount the poor girl standing next to him. Why does he stand with his feet so far apart? Balancing that pot belly of his?

The other thing I notice is that not once are they (Mooch and FH-Anacephaly-Head) together. What kind of "wooing" is going on here? I don't understand how they can be contemplating marriage when they don't hold hands, or seek each other out in a crowd. Wierd, wierd, wierd!

Good job Agent DC007!

[swedishbolt]

dirtyblindgurl - thoughts and prayers to you tonight - will keep you and your family in my prayers along with the entire Tex family.

1kid1dogmom- great photos - Thanks for posting!

[DreamerGal]

Oh, and DirtyBlindGirl. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry you're going through this situation. While it is a part of life, it's a part I just hate with a passion. Love and peace to you.

[ElizabethAZ]

DBG, prayers with your family as well as Tex's.

Moochelle is much prettier than I thought, and way out of FH's league. She wasn't looking her best on proposal day, I guess, and those are the only other pictures I have seen of her.

Glad you had fun OKODM!

[SDGirl87]

Hi all...

Finally have an update. Eleanor is doing surprisingly well. She is moving quite a bit and apparently has been tugging her tubes and been feisty. This is very very encouraging.

Our Sunnie however, is not doing well at all. She has developed a blood infection on top of the heart infection. She remains in the ICU. Her other 3 children came home today and got to see their Dad for the first time in who knows how long. They also got to see Mommy, but apparently it was very scary for them because she is on a ventilator at this time, to allow her body to be on total rest.

DaddyTex is exhausted, but very thankful for the outpouring of love and offers of help from the forum. He has asked for some privacy and space during this very traumatic time. A family friend is communicating with several of us on his behalf, so the updates will probably be fewer and further between.

In a nutshell...our Sunnie is in trouble. Please pray for her and for all of the Tex family. I promise, as more information comes out, I will pass it on immediately. Thanks for understanding.

[Cin-a-Bear]

OKODM -- Thanks for the great photos!

Ditto what everyone else has said. What the heck does Mooch see in him -- not just from a physical standpoint (he's just plain repulsive), but in his general lack of character, integrity, morals, honesty, etc. I know that "love is blind", but this is ridiculous.

Thanks again for going today and providing us all with a great visual of the event.

[Cin-a-Bear]

I just read the update about Sunnie. I am glad that Eleanor is doing better than might have been expected, but am just so sad that Sunnie continues to struggle. Her kids and husband must be so worried about her. There is nothing worse than watching a loved one suffer and not being able to make it better.

Thank you, SDGirl, for keeping us all posted on how she's doing. I will continue to keep Sunnie and her whole family in my prayers ~ and will be watching for more updates as they come.

[zodiac]

SDGirl, thank you so much for the update on Sunnie. I've been thinking of her all day. It is so sad to hear that she's struggling so much, but rest is the best thing for her and sounds like she's getting that. However hard it must have been, I am thankful that her kids got to see her.
Do you know if her and Eleanor have both been moved to another hospital?
Sending an angel her way...:angel:

[pastherprime]

I feel guilty speaking about the doofuses with two (or more) sad events/struggles happening. My thoughts and sympathies are with you too, DBG. I can understand Tex's need for space and privacy. I was the exact same way when it came to my father this year. I didn't want anyone asking me what I needed; I didn't want to talk, etc. I didn't want to lose site of the fact that this person needs me and that the time to chew the fat about the whole thing will be later. I had to really be in the present.

When it came to a funeral, I was asked to make a list and it was the first time I allowed myself to be selfish. I just answered "Show up if you want to and tell whomever you want. Those who know us, know me, and care will be there. The others don't need to be involved."

It's exactly how I felt and it was perfect. I was there for my own personal, very personal want to give him 100% of my attention in my own way. I wasn't in the mood for professional funeral goers who insist on making the whole thing about themselves.

An aunt (on my mother's side) who couldn't have given two cents while he was alive called just a few days later and had the audacity to chew me out for not calling, etc. I told her that I'm not apologizing to anyone for anything with regard to my dad. HE came first; not them. My heart goes out to anyone with these heartwrenching struggles.

That said, I hope this offers a little guilty pleasure diversion. Great photos...e x c e l l e n t. All I can say is that I feel sorry for the children involved in the FH & M union. That's all.

Amused, if I were your child, I'd probably be asking you, "Do I HAVE to go to their house? Can we have a puppy instead?" For you and your kids, I pray for your sanity. I know it must be excruciating to want to be able to provide the kids with their "dad" - and he's giving so little to work with.

You know? I'm going to go out on a limb here...very risky and say...if Laura keeps a low profile, does everything she can to be steady, calm down, be her age and stage of life, figure out her priorities, give up the wanna-be glam, I hope for the sake of her children she can get a hold of herself and that she and Dave can mend things. I don't know these people, so maybe it's an impossible order. But, as long as she sort of drops out of site, I'm rooting for her a little. Laura, be ready to slowly earn your way back in. Stop being showy, flip, and get out of that crazy radio environment. Find something else to do that won't take you down the crappy path. Run, don't walk, from FH. If not that, then I hope DC finds a mature, sweet wife who is a good influence on the kids so they grow up feeling secure.

[SDGirl87]

Good morning all.

I got a call just a few minutes ago from the family friend. They are taking Sunnie into surgery right now. The friend isn't sure why or what it's for, only that they were taking her in.

I think someone asked last night if they had moved hospitals, the answer is yes. Both Tex girls were moved yesterday and are at the same hospital now.

She will call me later and I'll post an update. Thanks.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

SDGirl, thanks for the update....

Tex Family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers continually today - and if there is ANYTHING we can do, please let us know!

[SDGirl87]

Good morning again.

Just got another call from TexFriend. Sunnie will be going into surgery at 7:30 a.m. The surgery is to repair a tear in her heart and drain fluid that has built up on her heart. It will be a 6-8 hour procedure if all goes well. They will have to open her completely up. Remember, this woman just gave birth 2 days ago! She remains in a drug induced sleep and on a ventilator to give her body as many resources as possible to fight these infections.

The baby continues to do surprisingly well.

Daddy Tex is in rough shape and could use a few prayers himself.

The family has asked that no one visit today, so if you know where they are, or know them and had planned to stop by, please do not. They have specifically requested that no one come by. Thanks.

I'll update as I get more information.

[TJLuv]

I, like everyone else here, continue to keep up on the updates of Sunnie and Eleanor. As a human, I can't imagine going through what she is going through...As a mom, I know that Sunnie will muster up all the strength she can to be with her children.

SDGirl, Was this a pregnancy induced infection or something she had already?

Monday November 5, 2007 3am: Good morning! Lets not talk about those Chargers. BUT, it is cool to see Junior and Rodney do so well the first part of the year. Patriots can be called Chargers East or something like that with the spirit of the late 90's Chargers leading their defense this year. I just hope Junior doesn't get injured.ugh please dont make reference to the patriots being a Chargers east....I want to smack him upside the head...

Last night I went to an NA meeting with Michelle to support my close family friend Marla receive her 9 year token from her daughter Robin. I guess you forgot about your other friend who you used to go to meetings with, Laura I'm glad I was there. My brothers and my mom loved the fact that I represented them so to speak by being there. Going to NA and AA meetings were part of my journey back in June and July when Laura got back. I kind of stopped going when I met Michelle. I used to go a lot to support Laura and to just hang out with her, but then stopped. Last nights meeting reminded me that I personally LOVE going to those meetings. They do relate to me and I love saying I'm part of the club, you know what I mean? The message those meetings give and the positive feeling it has makes me wonder why other people who may not qualify to be in the club don't go. Try it, you'll like it.

I had a fun 2 hours at Grossmont Center on Sunday. I met some of the teammates for the 3 Day and some listeners hung out with us. I can't wait for Friday morning. I can't believe the 3 Day is THIS WEEK!

Everything I worked out for. Every pound I lost or gained had the 3 Day is the FINISHING LINE. The message of the 3 day is much greater than my own personal journey, but I am reflecting a lot this week on getting here. Am I in shape? I'm in the best shape of my life. There is so much more I can do and I can set more goals in working out for next year, but I am COOL with how my year went. blah blah blah blah blah blah...just cause your ready for it doesn't mean you will actually go through with it

I had an early dinner with 4 good friends after the fundraiser yesterday and those 4 people I met through walking this year.

I have a lot to do this week with the intention to rest all day Thursday. I want to see the kids tomorrow instead of Thursday to prepare mentally for the weekend. Wednesday, I'm double dating with Jeff and his wife Kristen with Michelle. So, I have a jammed full week which ends with the 3 day.

I'll write more soon.

[SDGirl87]

Sunnie's illness was pre-existing and has nothing to do with her pregnancy. The pregnancy complicated her heart problems, causing the baby to be in distress. When it became apparent that continuing to allow Sunnie to carry the baby was putting them both in danger of death, they delivered the baby. She is safer outside of the womb at this point.

[Trixie]

This is Trixie (Sweet 16) checking in this morning. I am about 72 hours of posts behind. I'd like to welcome the newest DC family posters:

143. ApexGroupie
144. Pebbles64



666. FatHead/XXXL/40x28

I will continue reading and adding new posters, and I should be up to date later today on all the gossip, lies and drama.


I don't know all the details on the Tex family, just read this page of posts, and I'm sending many positive vibes to their family and doctor/nursing staff. :halo:

[SDGirl87]

I'm sitting at work...trying hard to keep it together and not cry. I listen to christian music at work and one of my favorite songs just came on and the message really hit me. It's called HOLD FAST and it's by Mercy Me, the same group that sang I Can Only Imagine.

I know that this is a secular forum and all of this talk of prayer and God lately really is probably a turn off to some...and I genuinely apologize for that. It is never ever my intention to offend or put off anyone, or to make anyone feel uncomfortable with my own personal display of my private faith.

The message of these lyrics are pretty much applicable to all of us, no matter what our beliefs. Thanks for indulging me.

Hold Fast lyrics

To everyone who's hurting
To those who've had enough
To all the undeserving
That should cover all of us
Please do not let go
I promise there is hope

Hold fast
Help is on the way
Hold fast
He's come to save the day
What I've learned in my life
One thing greater than my strife
Is His grasp
So hold fast

Will this season ever pass?
Can we stop this ride?
Will we see the sun at last?
Or could this be our lot in life?
Please do not let go
I promise you there's hope

You may think you're all alone
And there's no way that anyone could know
What you're going through
But if you only hear one thing
Just understand that we are all the same
Searching for the truth
The truth of what we're soon to face
Unless someone comes to take our place
Is there anyone?
All we want is to be free
Free from our captivity, Lord
Here He comes

Those are great lyrics...I'm not a extremely religious person but the praying and talking doesn't turn me off, sometimes I think its what i need and so I appreciate it all....i really like those lyrics, maybe I will have to try and find the song...

I had a hard time going to sleep last night I could not get sunnie off of my mind....you just have to trust and hope everything will work out for the best...we're here if you need to talk!

Hold Fast Tex family, God has each of you in his hands.

Continuing to say prayers for Sunnie and her surgery and the best possible outcome and for Eleanor that she continue to grow stronger each day and for comfort and rest for Daddy Tex and the other children and family members having to just sit and wait.

We sit and wait with you in our virtual world sending positive thoughts and prayers.

[LisaP]

SDgirl87 - Thank you for your continued updates. Good to hear that Eleanor is doing so well. Sunnie should be going into surgery right now. I will keep her and the whole Tex family in my thoughts today.

Did anyone hear this morning when they were announcing Jingle Ball - whoever Jimmy Steel is (program manager?) - he mentioned that this would be the first year that FH would know the LAST name of his "girlfriend", and that FH would only be asking for one ticket for a girlfriend (as opposed to 7 - and Jimmy would have to make sure that they were all separated so they didn't find out about each other)?

Tell me - what is it that women see in him? Must be the "power" that he TELLS them he has - 'cause in no way could it be physical. Yuck.

Where is Jer{k} this morning? I havent heard him on the air

And this is something to be PROUD OF and to broadcast? Disgusting. :puke:

[SDchick]

Okay, dangit! Why did I listen this morning??? Now I really really really want to go to Jingle Ball!!!! :( If I say it's to support Becky's House, and because I'm a huge Duran Duran throwback from the 80's freak, would that be okay???

And does anyone else on here want to go with me???? I don't think I have funds for myself and husband to get decent seats, but I'd for sure be able to go solo and meet up with anyone else who wants to see Matchbox 20, Duran Duran, and Kravitz.

BTW, it's so funny to hear Steve Redfearn on the radio. He's such a nice geek. I worked with his wife (ex-now) back in 1995, and then went to work FOR Steve in 1997, long story, but interesting if anyone cares to hear my story about him. Eh, what the hell... here it is... I worked for the SDFilm Commission with Robin, his then-wife. Steve was working for Bill Silva, HATING it, so he took off on his own and started Select Events, for which he recruited me as the office manager to start things up with him. He had a silent partner, Steve Gillette, (the money/lawyer guy-I'd never met him) and his other partner was Junio Seau. That was the greatest 6months ever for me!

We put on XGames at Hospitality Point, opened Seau's restaurant, did concerts, etc... he had tons of "old names" connections, was good friends with Sheryl Crow, all the artists, etc ...

Then one day, I show up to work, and the place is crawling with Feds (okay, 3.) They take me computer hardrive, my rolodex, calendar, everything. Seems Gillette was embezzling monies from everyone (his clients were of course Seau, but also other Chargers, Padres, and some Olympic athletes.) He had fled the country, and given his cell phone to a homeless guy in the Gaslamp. They eventually found him in Mexico, and he's currently serving time in White Collar prison (at least I think he still is!)

So anyway, to make my long story longer, the office closed down, we all went out separate ways, and I love seeing/hearing Redfearn still doing what he loves to do-entertainment stuff!

Dont' forget, I'd love to hear from anyone else who'd want to go to JingleBall!

TexFamily, we are thinking of you and praying for you all.

Did anybody hear Laura say that this will be her first Jingle Ball that she wouldn't be drunk? Classy.

[SDchick]

Yes, then in the background she shouts out, "why did I say that?!" I went a few years back, she was onstage, drink in hand, and sent it FLYING across the stage. Of course, I had no idea about drugs at that time, but I knew she was hammered. She laughed her a** off after she did it, never mind that the floor was now wet for the following act to slip on!

And if I remember correctly, she brought Charlie to that event.

Laura's Diary - November 5th, 2007
Monday, November 5, 2007 at 12:27pm

Dear Diary,
I had the best time with my babies this weekend. The Catamaran is a fun place for kids because they have a FREE arcade next to the pool area! We spent a lot of time in there. We had two double beds, but we all snuggled up in one. I eventually had to move because those little arms and legs pushed me off. We did a whole lot this weekend including: flying a kite, building a sand castle with a moat, swimming, video game playing, lots of room service. We also saw a movie (Bee movie), went to a Robert's birthday party at a bowling alley, we bought some new Dora panties and it goes on and on. It feels like syrup is running through my veins right now, therefore my brain is not at optimum operating order. I'm having a hard time expressing myself in words today.

(There is a pic of her 2 kids sleeping here but I can't post it)

I'm going to let this picture speak for me (I took it Saturday night):I thank God for every single day on this earth with these two beauties.
See you tomorrow, Diary.

This is probably one of the most parental and normal sounding diary entries I've ever heard from her. Sand castles, bowling and swimming pool? That's downright normal (ok...set aside the whole hotel thing etc). She also sounds genuinely thankful. Maybe what's happening with our Sunnie is impacting her and making her realize how blessed she truly is.

[mamasterls]

Yes, and it was actaully an age-appropriate movie too!:gle:

[zodiac]

I agree, this a good diary entry, and she does sound happy and thankful and mature. Except for buying Dora panties, why does she say that??

[SDGirl87]

Probably because it's a big deal for Evan. We bought my 3 year old nephew Superman big boy underpants and it was a VERY big deal to him...lol.

[JDub04]

Lost this post, reposted below. My first Dilweed moment....I kinda miss him, although I know some of you hated him with a passion.

[JDub04]

Sorry for the duplicate post, not sure how that happened.


Wow...what a weekend. I am not even sure what to say, that hasn't already been said. My son was born only 7 ounces more than Eleanor at 31 weeks, so she is strong compared to my guy. Grow little girl, grow. Sunnie...we are here, feel our strength in prayers.

I work at the top of Torrey Pines hill where FH will be huffing and puffing along on Friday. What are the chances I could go out at the right moment and snap pictures of his red face and stinky shorts? I have a friend who is walking and she is going to call when they leave camp, so maybe she can get a glimpse of him and let me know where he is. I might just have to listen to the spewgram on Friday (ouch, my ears hurt already) to hear when he passes out on top of the hill. If I happen to get any pics, I will post them.

[DreamerGal]

...Good thing it will be only day one, so his shorts should be 'fresh'!

Grossssssss, JDub!!!

Monday November 5, 2007 3am:
Last night I went to an NA meeting with Michelle to support my close family friend Marla receive her 9 year token from her daughter Robin. I'm glad I was there. My brothers and my mom loved the fact that I represented them so to speak by being there. Going to NA and AA meetings were part of my journey back in June and July when Laura got back. I kind of stopped going when I met Michelle. I used to go a lot to support Laura and to just hang out with her, but then stopped.

The message those meetings give and the positive feeling it has makes me wonder why other people who may not qualify to be in the club don't go. Try it, you'll like it.

First of all, Fat Head, you're not a "member of the club" (you know what I mean) unless you don't drink or use drugs.

Second of all, Dirt Bag, the second letter in the "club's" name is A, which stands for ANONYMOUS. You're not supposed to "out" people in da "club."

Third of all, Scum Bucket, you're a stupid, vapid, boring individual. Why don't you try actually living a life, rather than writing about the fictional life you wish you had?

Whew! I feel better now.

Monday November 5, 2007 10am: I have to take a deep breath and just write down a few important dates coming up. I feel a bit overwhelmed, but there's just a ton of stuff on my calendar and I just need to make sure I get everything in.

*****Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers in studio-concert this Thursday!
*****Thursday early check in at NOON at the fairgrounds for the 3 Day
*****3 Day walk Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
*****Take listeners to meet Kelly Clarkson at the civic November 16th
*****Thanksgiving
*****Van Halen on Sunday November 25th

*********PREPARE FOR Breaking and Entering
*********GO SHOPPING
********Wedding date
********Vacation
********Start back up on walks and hikes
********JINGLE BALL tickets and concert

All the stuff above is running through my mind and I'm sure I missed a few things. NONE of these things are stressful by themselves, but combined is just making me excited and stressed, but in a good way.

NUMBER ONE THING is to make sure I see the kids before the 3 day and rest and pack and just get mentally ready, because if I get "hurt or I'm not prepared" that will mess with everything that I need to do.

I want to work on breaking and entering but it's best if I wait until after the 3 day is over.

I guess I just have a case of WHAT everyone else goes through this time of year. It felt a little better writing it down a little.

Reading the list, makes me realize that it's not all that bad and I just need to take a deep breath and enjoy!

uhm who anticipates on being hurt? Yeah tommy does because he will be....what a lame guy....for lack of a nicer word...his problems in life are so insiginificant than a lot of people's lives...he makes them out to be bad...since he reads here he should know how bad some lives can be.... between our Sonnie and BlindGirl (im pretty sure i said her sn wrong) and anyone else who is having struggles in life those are the real challenges, tommy's problems are just sad excuses for someone who has too much times on his hands and has to have the attention always on him...it must be sad to be him and have nothing more meaningful in your life than promoting how great you are...

I would love to go SDchick, but we've got overnight plans for Disneyland that weekend. I go to Jingle Ball almost every year and I assumed it would be on a Friday, like usual, so I'm bummed I can't go this year. But I love Matchbox 20 and Duran Duran is cool too. :)
Don't lose hope, you'll find a buddy to go with, I'm sure of it!

No PerezHilton during the day????!!!! How do you make it through the day, SDchick? I love that site.

Currently the chat room is talking about rebellious 3 years old who were potty trained and think that maybe they like the idea of diapers instead of the potty. Not really interesting unless you are a mom of a 'toileteer' (from Bear in the Big Blue House potty DVD).

I think I might take my hubby. He loves Duran Duran and I love Rob Thomas, I mean Matchbox 20. :blush:

If I lived there, I'd go I've always wanted to see matchbox 20....=*(

I saw Rob Thomas alone with his side kick band and he was great, so I can only image what Matchbox will do to me!

[Alpinemaps]

Okay, new guess on Tommy. He'll start the 3 Day, but he'll get hurt in the first couple of miles. That way, he can say he did it, but, jeez, sorry that he just couldn't finish.

[califbrat]

I read perezhilton too. Just started reading Lainey, she's pretty good.

also try TMZ.com and janetcharltonshollywood.com

I read all 3 everyday.. and figured out long ago thats where the showgram and Laura get their dirt.. heck I can get it alot earlier than when she posts

califbrat #18

[ex-starlistener]

Thanks Califbrat. I had not read Janet Charlton. I agree, you can read it earlier and get more info that what she dishes out.
Beside, I don't listen anymore, so I need to get my daily gossip fix somewhere. That's why I read here too!!

Ok this is my "dirt"...but this is why you shouldn't like RT from M20.

M20 opened for Jars of Clay about a year and half before they became famous. I was 12 years old and my sister was 17 and was a newspaper reporter for a college newspaper. She got free tickets to the concert and backstage passes so we could interview the bands. Anyhow, so this was Jars of Clay during the whole "Flood" era and the stadium is packed with kids and grandparents and such. RT gets up on stage and goes "this is my last night performing with Jars of Clay and I've been good the whole time...but f*** it, I'm going to have fun tonight." and then he proceeded to say about 5 cuss words...to which you could see the parents and grandparents rushing to cover the kid's ears.

So after the concert we go backstage to interview Jars of Clay. It's pretty late and there's not many people left when the interview is over. As we were leaving, we ran into RT and the drummer of M20. RT is now drunk and smoking. He calls us over so we go up to him and tell him that we thought the band did a great job. Then he looked at me and said, "Hey baby, wanna go back to my hotel?" My sister freaks out and yells at him, "She's 12!" and he looked at her and said, "Oh you're sisters...awesome, I've always wanted to do sisters." My sister continues to tell him how she's only 17 and I'm still 12. He finally got frustrated with us, blew smoke in our faces and walked away and said, "Stupid fans, everybody wants me."

This is why you I HATE RT.

And that is my "dirt" I can contribute. :P

Oh, and Junior Seau hit on my friend when he was drunk and we were 17...and he also knew we were in high school. Classy.

Ooooh that is good dirt....I like his music but I would never find him attractive enough to go back to his hotel room...and that is sick he still didnt care even though you were 12....ugh, sounds like something FH would try...

[SDchick]

I think I might take my hubby. He loves Duran Duran and I love Rob Thomas, I mean Matchbox 20. :blush:
I so hope to get decent tickets to see them!

I would think that he is a bit mature now and I don't think he would behave this way, considering he has a wife. But who knows....I still like him. I could tell you a few uncouth things I did back in my day before I was a rock star :eek: , but that is another story and now I am mom and married.

[JDub04]

I so hope to get decent tickets to see them!

I know, but I'm okay with it I guess-no Mom guilt that I worked all day and then split at night for a concert! No rush hour traffic to battle. And December is so packed with other obligations, I'll most likely be free that night anyway, but yeah, it is a hard night to go, then have to work the next day...

My name didn't show up when I had my kids either. I kept waiting and waiting, but then my hubby had to remind me that I'm not a BIG DEAL! Well, except to him and my little guys. :blush:

Thank you SDGirl87 for keeping us updated on the Tex Family.

I'm a new poster here, but lurked for awhile, and have truly enjoyed the schmooze-fest atmosphere here.

I will continue to keep the whole Tex family in my prayers.

You know who we dont bitch about enough here?


Brittney Spears...WHAT A FREAKIN' TRAIN WRECK. She makes Tommy look normal...almost.

Funny thing, Carol. Britney is LBM's idol!! She wants to be just like her and she relates to her and feels sorry for her with all the (self induced) problems she has. Pooooor Britney! (Poor LBM ...)

Brittney Spears...WHAT A FREAKIN' TRAIN WRECK. She makes Tommy look normal...almost.

lol Carol...your right....I actually havent read anything about what is going on with Britney today...hmmm....hope she is okay...

I just think she is crazy....I feel bad for her kids...at least Tommy's kids have amused, and Laura's kids have DC. But right now K-Fed is looking to be the most responsible out of the entire family...Britney is nuts, her mom is just as bad...anyone hear her mom is writing a parenting book...are you kidding me?!!?!?

your daughter is an emotional wreck....

Anyone else hear Lindsey Lohan's mom is getting her own reality show on E! ????? There's a great parent as well...I imagine Laura to be like Dina Lohan when her kids are older....pulling the whole well if you're going to drink or do drugs, it might as well be around me....

But Dina Lohan and Lynn Spears should not be credible for raising good children....it makes me sick...thank god laura and tommy aren't big enough deals to write parenting books....

ughhh....haha yeah I like celebrity gossip maybe a little too much...

[Sapphie]

Hello everyone...I'm checking in for Member 94.1 (me) and Member Triangle, (JuJuBoo83). It's been 68 pages since I last posted and I don't have enough time to read back over all the posts but I hope everyone here, (so many new posters..WOW!) is safe and well.

If any of you have the time and/or inclination could you give me a briefing of what's gone on since 10/20?

We had to evacuate for a week so between that, the clean-up process and recovering from a couple of asthma attacks I've not been able to check in 'til now.

Two of my friends lost their home here, (Fallbrook area) but two of my other friends, only yards away, had the blessing of having their house spared. It's so strange how randomly a wildfire claims things...I regularly have to drive past one of the worst hit areas in Fallbrook and it's just heartbreakingly sad and surreal.

To anyone on this thread who suffered any loss : I prayed daily and continue to do so.

Now that my health is returning, (thanks to being loaded up on breathing treatments, prednisone, inhalers and some new pain pills....la-la-la-la!) I'm ready to join in the forum again.

Love and prayers to all.....Sapphie. xxx

[listener13]

Okay, new guess on Tommy. He'll start the 3 Day, but he'll get hurt in the first couple of miles. That way, he can say he did it, but, jeez, sorry that he just couldn't finish.

I think one night in a tent is going to cause some "pulling" of some body part, and he'll be out (he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I'm thinking it'll take him that long to figure out that he can't pay other people to walk it for him). I give him until 10 am on day 2 - anyone else want to venture a guess?

Sapphie, First of all, glad to hear that you are ok. To give you a brief update, much of the last 2 weeks posts have been about the fires and also the health of SurfingTexan (Sunni as she is now being called)and her baby girl Eleanor. Without going into too much detail (mostly because I don't want to put out incorrect information since I can't remember exact details), SurferTex is in the hospital and is having heart surgery (her condition is extremely serious), her baby girl Eleanor was delivered early and is in the NICU. If you go back and read the posts from SDGirl87 and SurfingTexan (her husband was posting under her name to keep us updated) you will find all of the details. Her entire family can really use all of the prayers they can get right now.

[iamsheens]

I just read Nancy Grace (some annoying lawyer who has her own show on cnn) gave birth to twins 2 months early...one of them is only 2 pounds...hope that baby is okay. The other one I think it said was 5 lbs...just bored and it reminded me of Sunnie so I thought i'd share...

"But at least I won't be drunk this year-for the first time!" - LBM


But I WANT to be like LBM on this night (drunk) and can't, because I know I can't come into work late, hung over and acting like LBM without someone calling me out on it. My parents will be in town, so maybe they will take my son to school Monday morning and I can go into work late with permission. I don't have a fancy smancy purse on the line if I am late, so that could be an option.

Wow Nancy Grace was pregnant....ewwwww. Her aqua net hair is hilarious. I hope she and the babies are well. Generally twins arrive early, but not that early. I think the 5lb twin must have been sucking up all the nutrients from the little guy twin, which may be why she delivered early.

Because all the good* music acts play on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday is J.V. day -- that's why they give it to J & J.


* By "good" of course, I mean acts that are somewhat culturally relevant and have yet to release a "Best of" -- which is the "jump the shark" moment of every rock act since time began.

Rumor has it the 2010 Jingle ball has been booked already on the "Thursday-Night-Early-Bird-all-you-can-eat-followed-by-a-Canasta-tournament" at Lawrence Welk Theater in Escondido.

Irene Cara, Lipps Incorporated, and Carl Carlton! :cheers:

BREAKING NEWS! NANCY GRACE HAS TWINS!
Headline News' Nancy Grace and her husband David Linch welcomed their twins, Lucy Elizabeth and John David, on Sunday, November 4.

John David was born at 1:55 p.m. ET and weighed 5 pounds, 1 ounce. He takes his name from his father and John the Revelator. Lucy Elizabeth was born at 1:55 p.m. ET and weighed 2 pounds, 15 ounces. She is named after Grace's mother Elizabeth, and Grace's grandmother Lucy, who helped raise Grace.

Ms. Grace had recently developed a pulmonary edema, and her physician determined it would be best for Nancy, and for the twins, to deliver them today. Lucy Elizabeth, John David, and their proud parents are now resting comfortably.

HAHAHA well I dont know....but she got pregnant and got married I think halfway through the pregnancy...or rather she announced that she was pregnant and married at the same time...

she is so obnixious though...

She had fluid either on her lungs or heart and thats why she had the kids so early...according to the article I read...I hope they dont grow up to be as annoying as her.

Who is John the Revelator? I have never heard of any biblical John referred to that way--who is that?

John of Patmos -- The guy who wrote Revelation

A Dave Matthews Band song (JTR)
Or,

The original folk song John The Revelator, by Blind Willie Johnson (sometime in the early 1930's)

Given Nancy Grace's looks, I'm going with Blind Willie

I don't know if they did one this week, but I know one was done in the past. Go to http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/ and click on the video option, go to seasons, and Nancy Grace is in the 2000's section. Funny, funny!

[pastherprime]

First of all Sapphie, sorry to hear all that you've been through. The fire victims are on my mind all the time. I try to help anyway I can.

Ok, my predictions:

Sablan: Will finish the 3 day hike (out of sheer determination and spite for the things that he reads here. He's obsessed with reading about himself.) And, we won't care one way or another. We'll care about the cause.

He will get married alright, and instead of being a union that is comparable to John & Yoko or Paul and Linda it will be EXACTLY like Liza Minnelli and David Guest. In fact, my new reference to them will be "Diza". Boredom and staleness for them will set in like Rigor mortis at some point. For the people around them, it will set in (what time is it?)...about ten minutes ago.

Amused will still have all of her options open. Whee!

[califbrat]

I imagine her saying to him, "Up Tummoo!" a la Sea World whale trainer)

Califbrat: can I come to dinner on your patio?... I love knockwurst!

[iamsheens]

I realized that tommy will attempt to finish the three day, not to prove a point to us but to get that personal time in with Barbara Lee...I dont think he will want to let her down...however, he will probably have some sort of medical condition to prevent him from completing the race (he isn't in tip top health I imagine the walking will take a toll on his body)

Either that or he will tell us he completed the three day but he wont ever end up attending or will leave early because he is too big of a deal to complete the walk....

If Katie Holmes can run a marathon than your not too big of a deal Tommy...

and thanks TripleSadness...it's nice to know I'm not la-la-la and that my calculator actually belongs in the refrigerator...that must mean my missing brie cheese is here in my desk somewhere...of course

One of us was trying to calculate the math-magical weight loss formula for the Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream in your freezer, but got trapped inside.

Just be extra careful before putting any elf-shaped ice cubes you may find in a drink.

Oops!...I wondered why that last glass of iced tea tasted strange...

I'm not exactly sure what the problem is here. I always keep my calculator in the refrigerator.

That's so the numbers will be the cold, hard facts, right? I get it!

I'd say there's a bit in the front as well!

Did anybody hear Laura say that this will be her first Jingle Ball that she wouldn't be drunk? Classy.

This actually came up because Delana had asked Laura not to stalk Lenny Kravitz backstage to which Laura replied, "I'm very professional!"

Jeff piped in and said," Laura, you are many things but professional isn't one of them!:boxing: . I was floored. It is SO true!!!!

I guess they know each other well!!

Can you believe under the "Event Photos" tab they have this titled

PAP Rally

They really are stupid.

Haven't posted in a while, but have been keeping up on the DC news. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Tex family. Thanks for all of the updates SDGirl.

Hi all...

Sorry for the long delay in reporting back to you. As promised, as soon as I heard, I'm reporting what I know.

Sunnie came through her surgery but it was very very touch and go. They had to use the paddles on her heart at least one time. She remains completely unconscious. They are anticipating that she will need additional blood transfusions and dialysis. (Are you a blood donor? Go donate in her honor...)

The baby continues to do well.

DaddyTex is in rough shape. He is receiving some medical care of his own at this point, as he has not rested or eaten much since all of this started.

The situation is as desperate as it could possibly be. I'm trying to not sound overly dramatic, and just deliver facts, but it's very hard when there are so many emotions involved. There is a very real possibility that our sweet Sunnie won't make it, and there is no nice or gentle way to say that.

I am in constant contact with "TexFriend" and have passed on the countless wishes, prayers, hugs, good thoughts and kind words that you have all sent to me via PM and email.

I wish I had a better update, friends. I will come back to you when I next get information.
