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

[Swifty]

Oh my gosh...never thought Sunnie would get to this point in such bad shape...I can't give blood...don't weigh enough but I can certainly help in other wasy...food...watch the kids any night...I am a single mom with both of my children off at college...so I'm an empty nester and most evenings free to help out...I know to all of you I am a stranger but a very honest stranger...please let me know if there is anything I can do...I live in PQ...

[swedishbolt]

I continue to say prayers for the Tex Fam.. I have prayers being mailed in from Colorado in addition to the local prayers... GO SUNNIE and BABY TEX (ELEANOR) MIKE and the rest of the TEX Fam...\

[SDGrandma]

Where do we go to donate blood? And how do we donate it in her honor? Thanks...

[OhPulleez!]

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?

I know several people who have walked the 3 day but did not sleep in the tent city at night. They were picked up and went home or to a hotel for the night and returned the next day to continue the walk. I'm sure that FH has something like this planned and there is no way he is sleeping in a tent with hundreds of no-big-deal people.

[SDGirl87]

Go donate anywhere...and do it in your heart for Sunnie. She has a very rare blood type. I'll find out if we can donate in her name anywhere and let you all know. Please don't wait though. If you are so inclined, and able, please go to the San Diego Blood Bank or the Red Cross tomorrow or later this week, and donate.

Also, it might be a good time to remind you all to check that ORGAN DONATION box on your license. Our Sunnie is not able to get a heart transplant due to other health issues, but if she WERE able...someone's heart would need to be given as the ultimate gift.

There is MUCH we can learn from this, regardless of how it all comes out. Sunnie is strong and young. She's got a ton of good things in her corner, and if we all learn to stop and put others first for a little while from this horrible time, then the lesson has been well learned.

As my signature text says...what will you do with the time that's left? Will you live it all with no regrets? Will they say that you loved til your final breath? What will you do with the time that's left? (it's from a song)

[Texasgirl]

Just in case you aren't keeping track, our site has 1,028,738 hits. One million, twenty-eight thousand, seven hundred and thirty eight hits. That number is big enough that I didn't even need capital letters IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. You lie, we find out the truth, and post it for all to see.

[shello]

Thanks for keeping the news coming about the Tex family. I wish I could donate blood but I am so anemic that I cannot lose another drop.

I don't want to think bad thoughts so I will send out positive wishes and prayers to Sunnie, Eleanor, daddy Mike and the whole family. I still haven't fully gotten over my mom's ____, soooo I can't go there.....

Soon Sunnie will be home recovering with little Eleanor in her arms while the rest of the family is around her decorating for the holidays. There is music on in the background :fro: :sing: and grandma Tex :chef: is cooking and the house smells wonderful :spam: . The kids are loud and having fun :cheers: and Sunnie and Mike are very :) to have that moment as they look to Eleanor's First Christmas.

I want to believe this will happen. She IS tough...just like her hubby and his soldier buddies.

[WhoMe]

SDGirl87 thank yous so much for the updates. Shello - beautiful thought for the holiday...lets send our energy and prayers to this beautiful family and hope the can share the holidays together. I need to find out if they will still take my blood, I have a genetic issue...don't know if it actually affects the blood or just the way my body reacts to injury. It's a new diagnosis and I'm still learning. However if they'll still take it then it will be given. Here's the REAL secret...people who have never met you can still care deeply about you. Prayers and positive thoughts Tex family.

[SDGrandma]

I just cannot sign off this website tonight.....am awaiting the positive news about the tex family !!!!!!!

[gossipgurl]

Go donate anywhere...and do it in your heart for Sunnie. She has a very rare blood type. I'll find out if we can donate in her name anywhere and let you all know. Please don't wait though.

Do you know what her blood type is? I am also rare, B-, and will donate for her.

[shello]

Do you know what her blood type is? I am also rare, B-, and will donate for her.

Hey, I think it's great that people donate for her. But even if you are not her blood type I am pretty sure she would be happy that people gave for others. As I recall during the fires there was a shortage of blood, so any donations would be great. :)

[SDGirl87]

There are a bunch of us behind the scenes putting together something with the San Diego Blood Bank. More info to follow. Sunnie's bloodtype is AB-.

Please...just donate. SOMEONE needs your blood, even if Sunnie doesn't.

We'll get the details to you as soon as possible about how to donate in Sunnie's name so that she gets the credit for the donations. We are hoping to have it all worked out by end of day Tuesday. Thanks.

[gossipgurl]

I donate several times a year and am a little off schedule right now because my white blood cell count dropped really low, but a specialist told me I can donate again. I can't get there until Thanksgiving break but will go for her because I think AB- can take B-???

[CJ]

If anyone has O- blood type, this is great to donate because O- is the universal donor type and can be used with any other blood type. I have O+. I am headed out of town first thing tomorrow and will be gone most of the week.

Thanks for all the updates SDGirl. If I am able to access a computer while I am away I will look for updates. In the meantime, I will continue to pray for and think about Sunni and family.

[Jammie J.]

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 put all my stuff that I have to read into Google Reader.
I don't know if that bypasses the filters that work places puts in, but it sure consolidates it! :)

[Texasgirl]

Although I haven't posted about the "Tex" family today, please know that they have remained at the forefront of my mind. I can't give blood either, but would be glad to help in any other needed way.

As a military wife, I keep thinking of the shock that DaddyTex has experienced in such a short time. Marines may be a little different, but here is what my navy man has said about returning from a deployment. (I know that the Marines are out there much longer, and navy goes more frequently, but there are some similarities.) When my hubby went to sea to the Persian Gulf (the 7th time I think), he was on a small ship of about 300 men. After being locked in that metal box with very little land time, he hardly knew how to act. When he got home he said that it took him weeks to become human again. Add in the dynamic of a mom, or in Sunny's case in conjunction with other loved ones who have been in charge of all decisions for a long time, it can be difficult to work out a new plan. Dad comes home and there can easily be conflicts as everyone has to resettle daily life. Add in a critically ill wife and a struggling infant, along with the other little ones in the house you can easily imagine just how overwhelming everything is for the family.

I sincerely wish the best for all of the family members. Daddy Tex, we are with you and ready to help at the drop of a hat. I have been fixin' to - promise!

[PQ Gal]

Thanks for the update on the Tex family SDGirl, My husband and I donate all the time we are members of the gallon club and we actually got called today so tomorrow we will donate, I am RH negative and he is 0+ so they call us both a lot.

Continued prayers and good thoughts for the family, it is a good sign she made it through the surgery, one step at a time and we are there walking it with them. Thanks for letting the family know for us that we are there for them.

Ok there is no way that Tummy is making it through the 3day, didn't we have a pool once, I guess he will make it one day and then be crippled in pain due to one of the acupunture needles accidently not removed from his back and then need to do Yoga to sweat it out.

PARTY! PARTY!:cheers: :woohoo:

[11ListenerNot]

I guess since Tubby is desperately preparing for the 3 day (yea right), it doesn't look like we'll see the tummytube episode of bikrum yoga. Darn it all

[Wabbitsd]

I think you have XXXL's size wrong. Is he REALLY a 28 in inseam? Are we taking HIS word for this? Did he use the usual "guy ruler" that always adds a minimum of 6 inches? In honor of Nancy Grace, "WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH~!!!"

I love watching that woman, she cracks me up. She does have good hair, though, doesn't she?

I believe Amused provided the stas for the Levis (40x28).

[swedishbolt]

Does anyone think that Tummy will be crass enough to get married at the conclusion of the 3 day? It's a way to put the focus back on him....

[DreamerGal]

Bolt, that sounds exactly like something our hero would do. So Tubby-ish!

[SDGirl87]

Hi all...

I know that you are all wanting information. There is no update right now. I did not get any calls during the night. I will call FriendTex in about an hour to see if she has heard anything more. FriendTex's husband went to be with DaddyTex for the evening at the hospital.

I promise, as soon as I hear anything I'll post it here. I know we're all anxious for news.

[ElizabethAZ]

No, in yesterday's blahg he slipped "wedding date" in between Thanksgiving and Jingle Ball.

Anyone else having a hard time getting into chat?

[califbrat]

I have.. was on for about 5 minutes then the comment box got "stuck" got off and could not get back on..

califbrat #18

[califbrat]

Have been trying ever since on AOL and Internet Explorer and no go :( desperately want to find out news about Sunni

[Layla]

I can't get in either :(

[texasmommy]

me either!

[califbrat]

Just got a pm from SDGirl87 a no go for her too! Guess we all can't get in for the time being.. :(

[califbrat]

Going to finally jump in the shower.. will try back asap!

too bad. I finally had a minute to try it out too!

[SanDiegan]

Chat still isn't working.

On a showgram note-

When DSC were on a commercial, I switched over to J&J- did anyone else hear that Laura and Tommy were invited to emcee and light the tree at the Old Globe? They will be insufferable with their "Big Deal"-ness.

[snoopiebug]

I tried earlier as well I get page cannot be displayed, wasn't sure if my work pc or the site, will check later as well

[SDGirl87]

First...the Chat Room appears to be down. We'll figure it out...the event is ON. Please email me at DCSunnie at yahoo.

Second, I talked to FriendTex and have an update on Sunnie:

She made it through the night but remains in extremely unstable and critical condition. They cannot move her at all right now. The doctors are not optimistic. She continues to have fluid buildup, but the source cannot be isolated. Because they cannot move her (her heartrate drops too dangerously), they cannot get an xray or MRI. The ICU room that she's in, along with all of the equipment being used to keep her with us just doesn't allow for a portable machine to be brought in. At this point, it is literally in Sunnie's hands to fight.

DaddyTex is in rough shape, as you can imagine. He has repeatedly sent out thank yous and appreciation for the kindness and support that DC has shown him.

Eleanor is holding her own. She's a tough little cookie and her saturation rates remain good.

The other 3 children are having a very difficult time understanding why Mommy isn't calling them or talking to them. The youngest child at home, an almost 2 year old daughter has developed strep throat and needs to be separated from the rest of the family, or they will all have to be isolated from the hospital. (Please PM me if you can help with this.)

There may be some significant expenses in the near future, due to the early arrival of Eleanor. We will keep you posted if that need arises.

[ElizabethAZ]

Oh man, thanks for the update SDGirl. I wonder if they could move her into the hallway to hook her up to stuff, or put her bed close enough to the door that they could examine her from the machines in the hall.

I wish I could help watch the little one. She and my son would have a great time together. Thanks, keep us posted here since chat is down.

[Carol]

Whew, glad to hear it is not just me that can not get in.

SDgirl did TexFriend say anything about the families prefrence for event details when you talked to her, or was it strictly a sunnie update (please excuse my spelling)? I have the list of needs ready to go out as soon as the family has given the go ahead on everything!

SDgirl, if you talk to FriendTex soon could you please pass along my willingness to also help care for the children (even in the grandparents/husbands presence, just as a helping hand to keep everything as calm as it can be). I know TexParents are very particular about who takes care of them but I have extensive referals, I am finger printed anything you can think of to help ease their minds! I mentioned this a couple times, but I REALLY do not want to come off as creepy, just helpful, and kids/food are the two things I am good at!

[zodiac]

Wow. So much going on with the Tex family. Thanks for the update. I continue praying for Sunnie and Eleanor and the whole family because I know this is hard on everyone.

Please pull through our dear friend, Sunnie. You have so much to give to this wonderful world and you are loved. We can't wait to meet you, but we will. You just rest and fight the fight.

oh wow I cannot not believe how serious of condition she is in....I hope she can pull through....the poor family I cant imagine what any of them are going through....i wish I could take the sick one, I would in a heartbeat, damn the distance....

hopefully someone will be able to help...

maybe we need to set up a fund to help the family if this hospital expenses are getting high, i think its the least we could do...

[Carol]

Also, there was mention of donating blood to honor sunnie during her brave battle. For those in the north county, there is a blood mobile at CSUSM currently :)

[11ListenerNot]

Their show suc*ed this morning. Jeff was at home with new baby, and Jerk was more arragant than usual

[11th Reader]

SDGirl, thanks for the update...

My thoughts and prayers continue to stay with the family and our selfless and sweet Sunnie.

We've pulled together as a group over all that has happened, and I want to thank each one of you for the sense of community I've received as a result (even all the way from Seattle!). You guys are amazing and I'm sure Sunnie and her family can feel the love and warmth of this group that I have felt from talking/reading/knowing you guys.

I'm truly proud to be a DC member.

[girly girl]

SDGirl, Thank you so much for keeping us all updated as to Sunnie's condition. I am unable to access the chat at work due to restrictions on our system so I appreciate you updating the board as well. I will continue to pray for her and her entire family. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

[Carol]

OH! and one last thing before my class starts.

Last night I posted my email in chat, when I was forming the list of the event. If anyone did not email me last night and wants to now to put their name down Email me at [email protected]

[shello]

Their show suc*ed this morning. Jeff was at home with new baby, and Jerk was more arragant than usual

Wow, Jer was arrogant? Shocking!

I feel bad asking this, since Sunnie is so sick, but when did Jeff get a baby? Boy or girl...what are the details? Last I heard they were waiting for one, so I guess I missed a "step" in the process. Any news would be great.

In keeping with their tradition of dragging things out, they are also dragging out FH's "moral" dilemma (as if he knows what the word means) of whether he should keep his committment to doing the tree-lighting at the Old Globe or go to the Van Halen concert since he bought the tickets before he committed to the Old Globe. UGH!!!

Jeff did say that because of fosterparent rules and such he can't divulge details on the baby

[11th Reader]

Do we know if Jeff is doing the whole foster parent in hopes of adopting, or is he just a foster parent?

[DreamerGal]

UGH!!!

Well, Tubby-Porker-Pig-Face-Fat-Head ... Why did you commit to lighting the tree if you already had bought the tickets? Simple forgetfulness or were you toking on a doob on the way home from an NA meeting?

[Wabbitsd]

FH Dilemna = No Brainer

Tell him to go to the concert. the Old Globe folks have got to be kidding, even asking him. Let him go hand with his homeys. Get someone with some sense of dignity to light the lights.

Why, just above Tommy, they could ask Dog the Bounty Hunter. He's probably available. Or maybe the son that sold the tape. Jeeze. Which one of them would be worse to look at?

[wonkatania]

Time Check: It is 10:36 am PST

Just needed to check-in and get an update on "Sunnie" & the Tex Crew.

I feel sorrow and yet hopeful as they embark through troubled waters. Somehow, a glimmer of light will push through clouded skies and shine upon their family which will then experience the best outcome.

[simba]

Hi all…
I have been reading this site for about a year and finally decided to put in my two cents worth.

First off – to Tex family and dirtyblindgurl- my prayers are with you and your families.

I choose not to have drama in my life, but love hearing about other people’s drama. I love the gossip rags you all were mentioning and probably why I like this site.

I really don’t listen to J&J – just every once in awhile, but they usually bug me. You have to realize that everything they do is for the show. Whatever the topic is they want to drag it out and not really solve anything.

I will write later when I have time about my past 3-day experiences & my thoughts on Barbara Lee doing the walk etc. Just dragging out the topic - like the spewgram....

You all have been keeping me entertained....please continue.

Wonkatania

Hey Wonk, in your illustrious Wonkness could you do a version of how the tree lighting with FH might look? Sunnie will enjoy seeing it as she will enjoy the "Holy Balls, not my guitar" landing into the pool. That was a gem and I think when you posted it she was already in bad shape in the hosp. so she has not seen it.

Or, Wonk, what about FH in a tent...I wonder what you could do with that. THanks!

[JDub04]

I put all my stuff that I have to read into Google Reader.
I don't know if that bypasses the filters that work places puts in, but it sure consolidates it! :)

I didn't know about Google Reader. Thanks for this bit of info, I can now put everything I want to read during the day and have my gossip organized!

Thanks!

It's bad enough that LBM is going to participate in the lighting. This morning when they were all going back and forth, and Jerk kept interrupting, Laura said that this kinda a big deal. This was staged from the very beginning. How can they think we can be so stupid??

[newgal]

I still can't believe what the poor Tex family is going through right now. I pray for them daily and they are always in my thoughts. I think back to the fires (just a couple weeks ago - wow!) and how much she was trying to help others that were being evacuated etc all the while she was struggling with contractions and medical issues that I am sure she already knew about. That speaks volumes of what great character she has. Praying that she starts doing better and that recovery is just around the corner for her.

The dummies that be posted FH's diary entry for today in LBM's Daily Dirt Column.....

Tuesday November 6, 2007 10am
Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 12:57pm

Tuesday November 6, 2007 10am: My mom just called my cell phone and she sounded great. She's been really talking a lot better lately. It sounds as if it was 20 years ago, it really does. I'm so happy. I'm going to see her after work tomorrow.

Today, after the show I'm going to TORREY PINES to walk all by myself. I'm looking forward to it. This will probably be my last little walk before Friday morning.
Then the rest of the day I'm with my kids.

I'm feeling good, but then again I'm really getting irritated with a few people around my work. I had 2 phone conversations with 2 people here at work that got heated. I don't usually do that, but it happened and I'm not sure why….I did call to apologize to one, but the other one just happened and I'm emailing her to say "lets get along better"…..

Michelle and I got an email this morning that made us both smile. It was a nice email about Michelle and at the end of the email it says "there's no turning back". So, we jokingly have been texting eachother all morning long saying "there's no turning back"…..AND you know what? There is no turning back and I'm so happy about that. We are committed to eachother in a big way and we are preparing for a wedding date that makes sense and we are doing all we need to do to get in a brand new home by summer of next year, which is right around the corner.

Last night, I did Bikram Yoga with Michelle and Laura. It beat us all up. I'm doing it again Wednesday and then acupuncture Thursday.

I guess I'm nervous about the 3 day, but in a good way. Nervous like you get right before a game. To walk 20 miles can happen, but it will hurt and to walk 20 miles 3 days in a row, will really really hurt.

THE HOLIDAYS: My shopping really begins after the 3 day and my concentration to Breaking and Entering will be at that time as well.

I better get going.

I'll talk to you soon.

[Wabbitsd]

ACK! Laura, too? (I don't listen to the show anymore...ick)

Dang. Jerk's wife must have done something to get them this great honor since she's mucky muck with the Art Museum...dang. Arent' there some other self-centered addicts in denial paired with recovering self-centered addicts kicked out of their family homes available to do this? Are these two the ONLY ones in San Diego county? That would take a lot of pressure off this "clash of the Titans" kind of mental/moral struggle he is going through.

Heaven forbid that the doggone Old Globe actually do a little legwork to find some folks who would truly epitomize (my nomination for the word of the day, incidentally)the spirit of the season instead of these two?

Has the Globe really sunk that low?

And then, this made me laugh:

"Nervous like you get right before a game."

I know he likes to say he was a football player in high school, but treally, he would get nervous knowing he would be sitting on the bench for the whole game? Imagine. ...

[JDub04]

Sunnie get better soon. We are all pulling for you, but your family is right there waiting for you to open your eyes.

I just emailed about the event, please let me know what is going on.

Hey FH, you are irritated? How do you think we feel having to listen to your crap every day and your drivel in your blahs. I wish I could yell at you just once.
And give up the 'honor' of the tree lighting and go to your stupid concert. No one wants their night of fun ruined by having to see you next to the tree. Ugh...

[girly girl]

Maybe he should have said,
"Nervous because I am starting to realize I can't weasel my way out of this like I do everything else I commit to"
but he wouldn't say that because that would be telling the truth which is not something he is known for

[11th Reader]

"there's no turning back".

This just reminds me of what Amused said that FH said to her friend's husband (all hearsay...of course :P) about how he would never "f*cking marry" but that she felt out of guilt he would go through with it.

This is one joke that I think there's some truth in...

[SDchick]

Hi DC friends, I've emailed shermanella and DCSunnie's addresses, but I must admit that I don't know anything about the event that is being planned. Is this a blood drive? Fundraiser?

If blood drive, I can't donate due to my pregnancy, but I'd still love to show up in support, etc...

I really would love any information that you all could give me about this event. I'm assuming it's something for Sunnie and her family, and not a J&Jerk thing!

[SDGirl87]

Hey all..

It's not just our chat room that is down, but it appears to be that entire system!! I can't even get into the administrator page or the FAQ question on their main site...so I suspect they've had some sort of crash.

We're working on a Plan B :)

Please email me at [email protected] if you want/need anything. Thanks!

[AspenCA]

Hello DC, just finally signed up. Prompted by the all the TexFamily is going through. Funny how you feel like you know someone just from reading what they write.

Anyway, I too e-mailed for info on how to help, and we continue to pray for them. Going to donate blood tomorrow.

Guess I'll need a # at some point. I think we were up to 147 or so.

[Murray]

Thanks so much for all the months of entertainment here. I have lurked since the "disappearance" of Laura and have enjoyed all the comments. The site was very difficult to get on and I suspect there are still other frustrated lurkers out there. I finally spent time going back with the administrator and got it together. LBM too but Tommy is truly despicable. Am I the only one who doesn'y hear the word "fat" in my head when I see the initials FH? Oh and can I get a number?

[mtsv_sd]

I have been a lurker for some time as well, and hope I am able to manage to post this! Boy have you all changed my perspective on J&J and their cast of characters! I still listen a bit in the mornings from time to time and am usually sorry. Of course, I cannot turn on the famous "family" show until I drop my two-year-old off! Too many "why" questions would result, I'm sure, and I do not want her to pick up on any of their liberal use of foul language.

My family and I are also sending prayers and positive thoughts to the Tex Family.

[iamsheens]

Welcome Newbies...

[OneKidOneDogMom]

I second the welcome - it's a truly wonderful group of people here!

p.s. Thanks, Sheens!

[HesitantNoMore]

This is FriendTex and I finally was able to register. Thanks everybody for being so great. They're such a great family and I know how touched Sunnie would be by all of this!!

[Mom2ThreeBoys]

There may be some significant expenses in the near future, due to the early arrival of Eleanor. We will keep you posted if that need arises.
Is Daddy Tex an active duty Marine? Wouldn't the military be covering all of their medical expenses?

[PeaPod]

Welcome, FriendTex/Hesitant! We're glad to have you on here and thank you for relaying all of our thoughts and messages to TexFamily and Sunnie. We're thinking of her, her babies, her hubby, and the whole family and wishing and praying for all to be well.

And welcome to the other lurkies!

[Layla]

Is Daddy Tex an active duty Marine? Wouldn't the military be covering all of their medical expenses?

TriCare does cover just about anything. I miss TriCare.

[11th Reader]

Welcome FriendTex!!! I'm so glad you're not hesitant anymore and have grown as fond of us as we are of you!!! Thank you for keeping us updated on everything.

[HesitantNoMore]

The baby hasn't been picked up by tricare yet and the hospital wanted their moola but tricare will reimburse the family once she gets enrolled.

[SDchick]

Hey everyone.

Okay, I'm not a parent. I wanted kids, but my wife when I was married didn't and now I don't believe I ever will.

That being said, can any of you parents relate to this whole thing about Tommy being so protective of his daughter. You know the whole "sheriff" thing.

I guess I figured that keeping a girl from the mall isn't going to keep her from meeting boys that want something. I figure that you would instead focus on instilling beliefs into the girl so that she can be exposed to the boys and still make the right decision.

Any comments?
Ritchie, I don't know how old you are or what you look like, but let me just tell you right now I have a few single lady friends who would love to meet a quality man like you with your beliefs in raising kids!

[LUV2BE]

Newbie here as well.. very very long time lurker.. since day 1 of the thread. Just was shy about posting.

Tex Family, deepest heartfelt love sent your way. I've know you anonymously it seems forever. Prayers from here at work as I've spread the story.
You're on our list as is my niece, who is awaiting a liver/intestine transplant at UCLA.
Lots of prayers and love going out.

To you all the most wonderful people of the DC.. I'm proud to join and have a number assigned. I will stand up and wear it proudly.
Much love to you all and God Bless each and every one of you

DC# (awaiting assignment)

[Layla]

Hi TexFriend, If I'm not mistaken, the baby should be automatically covered for thirty days after birth. In that time, all of the paperwork needs to be filed because at the thirty day mark, coverage is lost, or resorts to Standard from Prime, which has less coverage. At least, that's how it was last I had it. I also think that the Chaiplan or Military Family Services rep can come down to the hospital and get all the paperwork taekn car of under the circumstances.

[mamasterls]

Welcome to all you newbies :shakehand

I'm still fairly new myself:wavey2:

I really don't know what happened just that the CO took care of the current bill and now Sunnie's brother and DEERS is taking care of filling out all the forms. I think the problem was confusion between tricare prime and standard?

[Layla]

Could be. I know it depends on what Sunnie had. I always had Prime. Perhaps it works differently with Standard. Glad to know that there are people taking care of it now though.

[SanDieganNoMore]

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while but something happened and I could not activate my account. Now I'm all set and ready for a number (please).

[girly girl]

Just wanted to say welcome to all the newbies :)

[DreamerGal]

So, I'm wondering if LBM is back on the bottle. She's been getting a little lax with her diary entries. Red flag? Or just too big of a deal and faaaarrrrrrr to busy to attend to her job duties?

[pax]

Hello, newbies!

I am just obsessing about Sunnie. I hope she pulls through.

[FitnessGirl]

Hello Everyone! I'm another long time lurker. I finally activated my account, too, and am ready for a number!

My thoughts and prayers are with Sunnie and the Tex Family.

[longtimereader]

Wow, so many newbies today! Welcome to the DC! :cheers:

[Hope]

I have been lurking for months and have been wanting to post for quite some time now, but have not had time to put all of my thoughts in a post.

Since reading all of the sad news about Sunny and baby Elenor, I felt the need to finally register and express my sincere simpathy and let everyone know that I am praying for Sunny, Elenor and the entire Tex family. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I am O- blood type, so I will definitely go down in the next day or so and donate.

I am proud to finally have joined a great group of people. I will comment more on the showgram in a future post.

I would also like a number, if there are any left. :)

[IMISSLEO]

This is FriendTex and I finally was able to register. Thanks everybody for being so great. They're such a great family and I know how touched Sunnie would be by all of this!!


HesitantNoMore, Please let us know if a financial need arises for the Tex family. I am in Arizona so I cannot help locally and am not able to donate blood either but I would be happy to be part of a financial assistance drive if the situation comes to that. Thanks!

[YogaGal]

Hi All-
I too am a long time lurker..I love this forum and love to read all the J&J comments!! I also have finally registered and am watching hourly on the Sunnie and Eleanor news. Prayers and hope to her family...

DC#(Waiting to hear)

[cattychathy]

I have been lurking for several months now, a few months or so after LBM went MIA. Tried to register last week when I heard the news about Sunnie, but apparently it took the administrator a while to process all the recent registrations.

Just wanted to quickly say that I am amazed at how generous and thoughtful you all are. In times of crisis you often see what people are made of. First with the fires and now with Sunnie, the way you all have responded has truly impressed me. You all have reached out to the Tex Family, even though you have never met them. I can't help but think that if LBM had a similar support group, she would never be in the world of trouble in which she now finds herself. Even LBM's radio "family" did little, if anything, to help her in her time(s) of crisis.

Yet here you all are, not even having met Sunnie, but offering your blood, sweat and tears for her and her family. You all are truly, truly amazing.

[MomCat]

Hi and welcome to all the newcomers! So far I've been so impressed by everyone on here...even Boris! JK!! LOL

[O.B.ehave!]

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.

I'm a bit late in responding to this, but I was reading back on previous messages from the past days to catch up and just had to respond to this. I've always hated Matchbox 20 and their canned-sounding, shallow pop. Pretentious as all heck. And both my husband and I have always thought Rob Thomas to be truly annoying and could definitely catch the drift that he's utterly full of himself. This clinches it. Thanks, 11th Reader!!!

My positive thoughts are with Sunnie too, btw. Also been sending positive thoughts this week to my friends who just found out that their baby boy born a few weeks ago has a heart defect. He's doing okay though! I think the collective power of goodwill that everyone has on this board is quite tangible and inspiring. Keep it up, People! :)

[CharlieBear]

I too have been lurking for a long time and finally decided to join. I am ready for my DC# and my thoughts and prayers are with Sunnie and the TexFam.

[DreamerGal]

CattyChathy - I LOVE your name. There's a story there, I just know it!

[RowdyOne]

Here's another warm welcome to all the new posters. Please don't be shy, we don't bite. Spelling, grammar, etc. don't matter but your comments do! Write on...

The chat server appears to still be down so thanks TexFriend and SDGirl87 for keeping us informed here about Sunnie and her family.

Carol, when giving blood, to whom do we specify it is for? Is "Sunnie" known to them?

[Carol]

Carol, when giving blood, to whom do we specify it is for? Is "Sunnie" known to them?

To be honest, I do not know if anything offical was set up nor do I know if you can designate where you want your blood to go specifically. I belive people were going to do it because Sunnie will be needing blood transfusions (correct me if I am wrong anyone!!!) I had just heard alot of chatter on the subject, so I thought I would help people out and give them some locations if they were thinking about donating. It only takes 15 min, so they say!!

Sorry for the spelling mistakes.

[des1969]

Hey all, long time lurker, just decided to register

Have hated the J & J showgram for a long time but until I found this site, I thought I was in the minority. Listened for years, until they started to suck. Now I just listen when DSC is at a commercial break to remind mysellf WHY I don't anymore. They are truly a waste of space and air

Sympathies and positive thoughts to Sunnie and her family

Number please?

Wow, with a list like that (and it sure ain't pretty:puke: ) that would eliminate the showgram as well as Tommy's hoodlums from giving blood. Not that those BIG DEALS would donate anyway.

[des1969]

Also, if you've gotten a tattoo or a piercing in the last year, I don't believe you can donate blood

[zodiac]

Just wanted to say hello to all the now-cometh-forward lurkers, nice to have you all here with us!
Thank you to Carol for posting all the locations to donate blood. I'm literally a stone's throw from the North County Thunder location, so I'm going first thing Friday morning when both my boys will be in school.
I cannot get Sunnie and her family out of my head and have refreshed this page more times than I can count throughout the day looking for a new update. I'm glad that TexFriend has joined and appreciate her and SDGirl's concern and commitment to keeping us up to date. Thanks girls!
Feeling the need to send these Sunnie's way...:angel::angel::angel::angel::angel:

"Have ever taken money, drugs, or other payment for sex since 1977"

That cancels out Moochie...I figured house and car qualifies as "other payment."

^hahaha too funny!

"Have ever taken money, drugs, or other payment for sex since 1977"

Funny, Reader!!! Thank you for the out-loud laugh! :lmfao:

[cattychathy]

CattyChathy - I LOVE your name. There's a story there, I just know it!

Haha. No, not really much of a story. "Cathy" is a derivation of my given name and what I go by, other than perhaps "b!tch" (but never "ho"). I was never a "chattycathy" as I was quite shy as a child. But I can be quite catty, hence "cattychathy". I figured it would be an appropriate screen name given the genesis of this message board as a forum to express discontent with the spewgram and be catty.

Sorry, my story isn't more salacious. If you want, I'm sure I can come up with a more exciting story and pretend that is how I came up with my screen-name. Who knows... maybe if I make up a story and tell it enough times, it will actually be true, just like FH's lies.

[MomOf3Girls]

First, I hope I'm not stepping on toes of Mom2ThreeBoys. I'm not very original or creative when it comes to screen names...but yours inspired mine.

Like others, I've been lurking for what seems to be forever and love the thread; cant stand the spewgram. So, can I have a number too?!?!

And, I'm walking in the 3-day this weekend, so if i garner any good FH gossip, I'll post next week.

PS - Prayers to Sunny and family!

[Wabbitsd]

That whole list of "if you did this...don't donate blood" makes me feel a little faint.

I like the one line:

"Have had sexual contact in the past 12 months with anyone described above" because posting it here on this site, it literally means you can't donate blood if you have had contact with anyone posting on this board, since they are described in some way, above...now doesn't it? Not that it would happen to limit ME from donating blood, but there is that whole gossiptopic of Wonk and SDgirl87....!!!:cheers:

And for new folks, welcome, and sure, we don't muchly care if you misspell or misuse words, or even if you capitalize correctly. But every now and then, be warned, I might rant on and on about using all caps or too much bold text, and then I think I have a bullet-proof list of when you can and when you shouldn't do things like hyperventilate words or italicize words, but then, I get over it all, and I don't care again. I also fall into trying to revive classic Brit/American lit to no good end. Pretty much if you ignore my rants, I fall out of those moods and become normal again.

oh, wait, that was hyphenate, not hyperventilate, but I kinda like the visual....:wavey2:

[SDGirl87]

Not that it would happen to limit ME from donating blood, but there is that whole gossiptopic of Wonk and SDgirl87....!!!:cheers: wavey2:



HUH??????????????

Yesterday I was linked falsely with Jake and today I'm linked with Wonk????????? (mind you I'm flattered and would love to meet either one or both of these kind gentlemen...but I digress)

Will someone please tell me where all of these lovely gentlemen are, because I assure you, I'm sittin' at home alone, all by myself, with nary a gent in sight. (sigh)

Sadly, I fully qualify to donate blood except I just got off of an antibiotic so I can't for about a week.

[11th Reader]

Alright, this is totally off topic, but I need advice. My boyfriend and I are thinking about driving from Seattle to SF and then from SF to Seattle on December 15 and December 30. Anyone have any idea how the roads are during this time? We're mainly worried about Mt. Shasta area, but we do plan to have chains and stay on the 5 the whole way. I drive a Honda Accord...any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me so we don't cluster this message board.

(And I will be returning to the great SD area from Dec 18-28...do I smell a DC gathering sometime around then. I'll bring the brownies!)

[cattychathy]

Wow, with a list like that (and it sure ain't pretty:puke: ) that would eliminate the showgram as well as Tommy's hoodlums from giving blood. Not that those BIG DEALS would donate anyway.

Well, of course they wouldn't qualify because of all of the humanitarian relief work they've done in Equatorial Guinea. Don't you know they are responsible for Breaking & Entering Kwanzaa there?

You know, the life of a Certified RumorMonger isn't all daisies and petfood cans. Trust me, I used to be a daisy.

If you are going to require that rumors have some basis in fact, well. I, for one....will have to resort to other means to stir up muck and discontent.

:amidala: (<--what the heck is that?)

"Breaking & Entering Kwanzaa" <--that's priceless.

Now, I think we should all start ragging on Tomas about his focusing on one religion over all others. This could be a great start....

[SDGirl87]

NONE of the DC Forum people are in any way asking for funds of any sort.

Let me be VERY clear. There is absolutely positively NO request for funds and no money is being collected. Period.

Please show your compassion and support for the Tex family by donating blood or giving your money to someone in your local community who needs help.

Thanks.

[Wabbitsd]

hmmm. interestingvery interesting...... Both SDGirl87 AND Wonk are here quickly to deny my rumors.

[DreamerGal]

Haha. No, not really much of a story. "Cathy" is a derivation of my given name and what I go by, other than perhaps "b!tch" (but never "ho"). I was never a "chattycathy" as I was quite shy as a child. But I can be quite catty, hence "cattychathy". I figured it would be an appropriate screen name given the genesis of this message board as a forum to express discontent with the spewgram and be catty.

Sorry, my story isn't more salacious. If you want, I'm sure I can come up with a more exciting story and pretend that is how I came up with my screen-name. Who knows... maybe if I make up a story and tell it enough times, it will actually be true, just like FH's lies.

Funny, Catty. Welcome! :wavey2:

[DreamerGal]

First, I hope I'm not stepping on toes of Mom2ThreeBoys. I'm not very original or creative when it comes to screen names...but yours inspired mine.

Like others, I've been lurking for what seems to be forever and love the thread; cant stand the spewgram. So, can I have a number too?!?!

And, I'm walking in the 3-day this weekend, so if i garner any good FH gossip, I'll post next week.

PS - Prayers to Sunny and family!

Please, Momof3, get a picture of FH crawling on the pavement at the end of the first mile ... we love pictures!

[DreamerGal]

Well, of course they wouldn't qualify because of all of the humanitarian relief work they've done in Equatorial Guinea. Don't you know they are responsible for Breaking & Entering Kwanzaa there?

Yeah, Catty ... you funny! Glad to have you among us.

[11ListenerNot]

Commentary to follow:)

[Mom2ThreeBoys]

First, I hope I'm not stepping on toes of Mom2ThreeBoys. I'm not very original or creative when it comes to screen names...but yours inspired mine.
Actually, I'm flattered! Maybe we'll have to introduce my three boys to your three girls in a decade or two. :)

Tuesday November 6, 2007 2pm: Soon after the holidays, most of us will be a few bucks in debt from shopping and a couple of pounds overweight than anticipated FOR SOME YES, FOR YOU I'M SURE LOTS MORE. New Year’s resolutions for me are starting now. I want to go in to 2008 with a 2 month head start. Some of my goals for the new year are:


********A wedding date that will have my mom and ALL the kids part of it…..I want my family, Michelle’s family, the kids, friends and everyone to share that day with us. We have so many options and plans and ideas that we’re not going to know anything anytime soon. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID LAST WEEK


********A house: I think this might even come BEFORE the wedding. As long as Eddie and Vanessa and Michelle and her kids all sign off on the home, then I’m cool with it. A part of me wants to say LETS JUST STAY HERE and maybe re-model it, but I’m not sure. I just love pulling up to my house and seeing the kids around the block hanging out.IN THE DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT OF YOUR YARD I would miss that very much…


********185! I need to get to 185 pounds. That’s my goal. I’m not even close to that right now.HA HA WE KNOW THAT. GOSH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE 195 LAST WEEK! As a matter of fact, I’m getting further away from that number, but HEY, it all starts back up now with my 2 month head start on the new resolutions.


*******THE WALKS AND HIKES: I want to continue to do Torrey Pines on Saturday’s along with Cowles and Iron as well. I need to get this routine back in gear the weekend of Friday the 16th. I want to also get in a few walks during the week as well.


*******Reading books: I don’t want this to be a phase. I want to continue to read. I’m not someone who sits down and reads a book, but I started with PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE and it feels good.


*******SLEEP: I want to start taking naps. Laura takes naps and Michelle tries hard to take naps as well. I think this is a key to my day.IT WOULD BE NICE BUT WE'RE NOT BIG DEALS


*******Bikram Yoga and Acupuncture: I love Bikram Yoga, especially when eating healthy. Eating healthy and Bikram Yoga equals FAST WEIGHT LOSS. TOMMY, PLEASE DON'T DO THE TOMMYTUBE, NONE OF US NEED THAT VISUAL I am just now getting into acupuncture and I want to make sure I utilize both of these to better myself. OH YEAH: A good chiropractor visit once in a while too.


******MY MOM: I want to make her laugh more often and have my kids and Michelle part of her everyday life MORE than ever.


*****My sisters: I want to be there for them MORE in 2008. I kind of started to with Rose, but for Lola was a different story. I want to start hanging out with them more rather than meeting with them about the schedule for my mom.


******Church and NA/AA: Sometimes, I feel that NA/AA meetings is church to me. Just because I have never ever bottomed out or got in trouble with anything, I can still go to these NA/AA meetings. I love going. It is written somewhere that all it takes for membership is a desire to simply not want to do it anymore. I’m done with beer and all that stuff. I really am. I don’t need it and I love drinking water. IN 2008, I just want to go to these meetings regularly, because I like hearing the messages and the feel of the meetings. I also want to go to REAL church, but to be honest with you, NA and AA is as real as church gets, right? WRONG!


******WORK: I want to continue to work hard and to enjoy this coming year. This will be our 20th year together on the air in San Diego. I am proud of that. Jeff and Jer and myself still have that desire to do well and everyone else on the show too. We want to be successful more than any other time in our lives and radio career. 2008 for the showgram has potential to be the best year ever. THEN WHY IS JER SUCH AN A**?


Money: Don’t use credit cards. Save for the kids. Quit eating fast food. LEARN HOW TO COOK! It’s funny how this is my definition to save money. LEARN HOW TO COOK! I can save thousands by eating at home. YEA, LEARN TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN TOP RAMEN AND FROZEN WAFFLES


******The kids: There are things that I do as a parent that could use some help. I think I spoil my kids, but at the same time, I just love to------no, I spoil them for sure. I need to just make sure I love and teach them what they need to do to have a good life. From saving for their future to talking to them as they become teenagers. I know what it’s like to be GOOD AND BAD as a teenager. I seen it all. I want my kids to know the reality of it all and I also need to have fun with them. It’s hard sometimes for me to be THE PARENT instead of being their buddy. I need to remember, I’m DAD, not TOMMY. I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ADMITTING THAT YOU NEED HELP IN PARENTING


******Michelle: To continue to love and cherish and honor her. She’s the one! YEA, SHE'S THE ONE THAT WILL BLEED YOU DRY!


Wow, it felt good to write this all down and to review them. I know this is silly to show you my resolutions, but this blog helps me a lot and sometimes, I write not just for you, but for me to understand myself a little bit better as well.

WOW, I think I just had a moment with myself. YUCK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

[RowdyOne]

It sounds like FH got all his ideas for his "resolutions" from this forum.

Hi FH!!!!:wavey2:

[des1969]

Amazing...he's just now figured out he needs to be their dad and not their buddy?

[Wabbitsd]

Does anyone else get this wierd feeling he thinks he is going to get custody of his kids, or Michelle is going to have custody of her kids just cause he buys a new house?

[Daisy CA]

From Tommy's Blah-blah-blahg...

"I am just now getting into acupuncture and I want to make sure I utilize both of these to better myself."

I can't help picturing those acupuncture needles poking out of Tubby and watching him pop like a giant balloon...then flying uncontrollably all over the room.

[des1969]

Even if he went for custody, Vanessa is old enough to decide who she wants to live with and I highly doubt she would choose to leave the stability of her mother's house to live with the insanity that is FH's household. Eddie would probably strongly object as well. All Amused would need to do is show that Crackhead is still living with FH and that would be the end of the story. No judge is going to let those kids live with a recovering addict.

[girly girl]

Does anyone else get this wierd feeling he thinks he is going to get custody of his kids, or Michelle is going to have custody of her kids just cause he buys a new house?


I think it sounds more like Mooch is actually the one pushing for the new house. Probably for one or both of these reasons:

1. Moving is the only way to get rid of LBM

2. If they buy a house together she will be sure to have a place to live when they get divorced. If they stay in FH's current house she may not be able to take it later.

[MomOf3Girls]

I'll have my camera with the wide-angle lens all ready for the moment! Ha!

[RowdyOne]

^ Perfect!

[MomOf3Girls]

Actually, I'm flattered! Maybe we'll have to introduce my three boys to your three girls in a decade or two. :)

Ha! That would be fun! Although the teenage girl phase frightens me to death:gle: , so i'm up for the two-decade set-up.

[SDGirl87]

I'll have my camera with the wide-angle lens all ready for the moment! Ha!


Be sure to stand pretty far back...you don't want to miss anything.

[oops]

Can't get into the chat room either; will check back regularly.

Re: the showgram/spewgram: Gotta admit that when Jer is off Jeff handles the interactions with callers and lulls in the show/production much better than when Jerry is there by himself. It's obvious who's a quicker wit and more of a people person. Jerry always sounds so much more uncomfortable and affected when he doesn't have the other J to bounce off of or lean on.

Fh doesn't know if he should honor his previous commitment to the Old Globe, 'cause of Van Halen? Big surprise.....Bigger Flake.

It's almost the weekend.......what excuse will FH have to flake there???...that's the $2200 question!

[iamsheens]

Not that anyone cares and it relates to nothing and is not even important but....some guy or maybe girl? yelled at me on the phone at work, why must people be so mean...im shaking uncontrollably....ugh I wish mean people didn't have that control over my body...

Although if I ever had a run in with FH I would also shake uncontrollably but that would probably be because he disguists me...

:puke:

[iamsheens]

ugh i cant type or spell tonight either....=(

anyways tommy's goals are lame...he should be a good parent all the time and not make it a goal to be one....

and there is no way Vanessa will ever live with FH...Tommy seems like he would be the way my dad was and treat her like a 5 year old because that is how he views her. That is so annoying...when I would hang out with guys my dad would freak out and I didn't live with him....I cant even imagine what it would be like had he been the parent I had to live with....

[wonkatania]

Well, Ladies and germs, It's that time of the day again, I must depart, but please do not cry in my absence. Do not despair for I will be back. I leave you now, not because I do not see the benefit in our gathering but because duty calls.

I will miss you until we meet again in about an hour. Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Yours truly,

Wonkatania

Comments on the FatHead's blubbery-blabbery-blaaaaahhhhhbb:

"A house: I think this might even come BEFORE the wedding. As long as Eddie and Vanessa and Michelle and her kids all sign off on the home, then I’m cool with it."

As long as the kids sign off on it? What's with letting the inmates run the asylum, Tubby? You say you want them to sign off, then you do what you want to do anyway. (Remember the engagement?) Make a decision and stick with it, you pathetic beast!

"185! I need to get to 185 pounds. That’s my goal."

Well, you just keep on that diet you've devised. You know, one pizza, three burritos, a sub sandwich and a couple of cheeseburgers (on the way to donate them, of course -- Tubby's gotta keep up his strength), and a lettuce leaf for breakfast? You'll get down to 185, mathematically, in no time!

"Reading books: I don’t want this to be a phase. I want to continue to read."

It's good to learn new things, Tubby! Keep it up!

"MY MOM: I want to make her laugh more often"

Just tell her you're "sitting down to read a book." I'm sure that'll have her giggling for hours!

"Church and NA/AA: ... Just because I have never ever bottomed out or got in trouble with anything, I can still go to these NA/AA meetings. ... I’m done with beer and all that stuff. I really am."

You never bottomed out or got in trouble? Let's see, you ruined a marriage and broke up a family, and have had countless "engagements" that went nowhere, but I guess that doesn't qualify as bottoming out, does it? You're done with beer "and all that stuff?" Just a clue, drinking on the weekends or at a Chargers game or at a concert means you're not really done with "all that stuff."

"Money: ... Quit eating fast food."

Won't that cut into your diet plans, Tubby? How are you going to lose weight (mathematically speaking) if you don't have your fast food?

"The kids: There are things that I do as a parent that could use some help. ... I need to just make sure I love and teach them what they need to do to have a good life."

Take a freaking parenting class and get yourself into therapy. Otherwise, just let Amused take this one. I think she's far more equipped than you to give parental guidance and love.

"Michelle: To continue to love and cherish and honor her. She’s the one!"

If "she's the one," why do you have to make this a New Year's Resolution? Shouldn't it just come naturally?

"Wow, it felt good to write this all down ..."

Yes, because as soon as you write it down, it's true, right Tubby? So you don't even have to take any action at all. You wrote it down, now you're a good parent, you're 185 and you and Michelle are Paul and Linda ... or is it John and Yoko?

Yuck.

Im not sure and don't know what parts of his body he is getting acupuncture at but all I have to say is....that poor person who has to have such close interaction with his flesh....yuck!:puke:

Tuesday November 6, 2007 2pm: Soon after the holidays, most of us will be a few bucks in debt from shopping and a couple of pounds overweight than anticipated FOR SOME YES, FOR YOU I'M SURE LOTS MORE. New Year’s resolutions for me are starting now. I want to go in to 2008 with a 2 month head start. Some of my goals for the new year are:
We should make bets on how long these resolutions last for, and perhaps how much he mathmatically will say he is losing during the holiday season...and how much in reality he gained...

********A wedding date that will have my mom and ALL the kids part of it…..I want my family, Michelle’s family, the kids, friends and everyone to share that day with us. We have so many options and plans and ideas that we’re not going to know anything anytime soon. THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SAID LAST WEEK
He is trying to play mind tricks on us, like we actually care when he gets married...he prolly thinks we thrive on his blogs...TOMMY LISTEN HERE...WE COULD CARE LESS IF YOU GET MARRIED, HAVE MORE KIDS, OR BUY A NEW HOUSE, YOUR STILL NOT A BIG DEAL...YOUR JUST A SAD EXCUSE...GROW UP AND GET A CLUE WHAT LIFE IS REALLY ABOUT (SORRY CAPS IS A MUST HERE)

********A house: I think this might even come BEFORE the wedding. As long as Eddie and Vanessa and Michelle and her kids all sign off on the home, then I’m cool with it. A part of me wants to say LETS JUST STAY HERE and maybe re-model it, but I’m not sure. I just love pulling up to my house and seeing the kids around the block hanging out.IN THE DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT OF YOUR YARD I would miss that very much…
Why even pretend to contemplate the house issue we all know your going to get a new house..how bout you stop making big issues about the little things in life...you know Michelle is not going to accept the house you are in now...

********185! I need to get to 185 pounds. That’s my goal. I’m not even close to that right now.HA HA WE KNOW THAT. GOSH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE 195 LAST WEEK! As a matter of fact, I’m getting further away from that number, but HEY, it all starts back up now with my 2 month head start on the new resolutions.
You may need to go on the three year resolution for this goal...

*******THE WALKS AND HIKES: I want to continue to do Torrey Pines on Saturday’s along with Cowles and Iron as well. I need to get this routine back in gear the weekend of Friday the 16th. I want to also get in a few walks during the week as well.
Exercise is good but obviously the hiking isn't helping your weight loss goals so why don't you get a personal trainer, we all know you can afford it...

*******Reading books: I don’t want this to be a phase. I want to continue to read. I’m not someone who sits down and reads a book, but I started with PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE and it feels good.
Just FYI Tommy but Magazines do not count as reading a book...

*******SLEEP: I want to start taking naps. Laura takes naps and Michelle tries hard to take naps as well. I think this is a key to my day.IT WOULD BE NICE BUT WE'RE NOT BIG DEALS
How bout getting some real goals and instead of napping during the day you do something good for the world and donate all that free time you have to a worthy cause and for once stop thinking about yourself...that should be your goal...napping isn't a goal unless your a 5 year old

*******Bikram Yoga and Acupuncture: I love Bikram Yoga, especially when eating healthy. Eating healthy and Bikram Yoga equals FAST WEIGHT LOSS. TOMMY, PLEASE DON'T DO THE TOMMYTUBE, NONE OF US NEED THAT VISUAL I am just now getting into acupuncture and I want to make sure I utilize both of these to better myself. OH YEAH: A good chiropractor visit once in a while too.
you should quit these goals just for the sake of the people who are in the yoga class with you...

******MY MOM: I want to make her laugh more often and have my kids and Michelle part of her everyday life MORE than ever.
How bout you just focus on making sure your mom is healthy...

*****My sisters: I want to be there for them MORE in 2008. I kind of started to with Rose, but for Lola was a different story. I want to start hanging out with them more rather than meeting with them about the schedule for my mom.
Just going on a hunch but there is probably a reason your sisters don't hang out with you...perhaps you need to change your lifestyle completely and admit whatever wrong you've done in the past and focus on having a healthy relationship with them and not just hanging out with them

******Church and NA/AA: Sometimes, I feel that NA/AA meetings is church to me. Just because I have never ever bottomed out or got in trouble with anything, I can still go to these NA/AA meetings. I love going. It is written somewhere that all it takes for membership is a desire to simply not want to do it anymore. I’m done with beer and all that stuff. I really am. I don’t need it and I love drinking water. IN 2008, I just want to go to these meetings regularly, because I like hearing the messages and the feel of the meetings. I also want to go to REAL church, but to be honest with you, NA and AA is as real as church gets, right? WRONG!
I've never been to a NA/AA meeting but I'm pretty sure you can't compare it to real church...and I really doubt your done with drinking...its okay to have a beer here and there and its obvious you like your beer so don't pretend your going to quit drinking...be realistic and stop making up goals your not going to follow

******WORK: I want to continue to work hard and to enjoy this coming year. This will be our 20th year together on the air in San Diego. I am proud of that. Jeff and Jer and myself still have that desire to do well and everyone else on the show too. We want to be successful more than any other time in our lives and radio career. 2008 for the showgram has potential to be the best year ever. THEN WHY IS JER SUCH AN A**?
no comment...but to say this year has the potential to be the best year ever seems like an overstatement....you'd have to change the show completely and that would take too much effort out of everyone, god forbid you guys do some prepping and work for the show...

Money: Don’t use credit cards. Save for the kids. Quit eating fast food. LEARN HOW TO COOK! It’s funny how this is my definition to save money. LEARN HOW TO COOK! I can save thousands by eating at home. YEA, LEARN TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN TOP RAMEN AND FROZEN WAFFLES
how bout paying your debt off, you can afford paying for stuff right out of your account...and I don't think you can give up fast food...trust me its hard...my boyfriend and I are and its too convient...if we can't a guy like Tommy has no chance of keeping this goal...


******The kids: There are things that I do as a parent that could use some help. I think I spoil my kids, but at the same time, I just love to------no, I spoil them for sure. I need to just make sure I love and teach them what they need to do to have a good life. From saving for their future to talking to them as they become teenagers. I know what it’s like to be GOOD AND BAD as a teenager. I seen it all. I want my kids to know the reality of it all and I also need to have fun with them. It’s hard sometimes for me to be THE PARENT instead of being their buddy. I need to remember, I’m DAD, not TOMMY. I HOPE THAT YOU'RE ADMITTING THAT YOU NEED HELP IN PARENTING
Its a nice thought but your kids probably wouldn't take you seriously as a tough parent anyways...you're probably a joke in their eyes...

******Michelle: To continue to love and cherish and honor her. She’s the one! YEA, SHE'S THE ONE THAT WILL BLEED YOU DRY!
yeah given your prior history with girls I doubt you know how to cherish and honor a girl...

Wow, it felt good to write this all down and to review them. I know this is silly to show you my resolutions, but this blog helps me a lot and sometimes, I write not just for you, but for me to understand myself a little bit better as well.

WOW, I think I just had a moment with myself. YUCK, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?[/QUOTE]

Ugh not one thing he listed as a goal had anything about donating to charities, helping people out...how can people be so shallow in life? If I made his kinda money I'd donate money to charities all the time....ugh people like him who are so greedy make me so mad...

[cattychathy]

It just clicked for me. He doesn't go to Church because they serve wine during Communion and he doesn't drink. Plus, those Communion wafers are just loaded with carbs.

InvisibleElf13: Yes. Me.
InvisibelElf4: Me too.
InvisbleElf17: I love keys. They make me feel warm inside.
InvisibleElf25: Anyone here in this chatroom who is NOT an elf?
InvisibleElf2: I see SDgirl87 is drawing hearts around the name Jake.

InvisibleElf21: 9 is walking on keyboards drunk again.
InvisibleElf12: Nope. Just us elves here.
InvisibleElf25: Have fun. Back to keeping Sunnie company.

I'm supposed to working on a newsletter...you are distracting me....go back to wherever you came from! (But you are very funny - I especially like I.E. #2!)

[ElizabethAZ]

VERY IMPORTANT AND EXCITING

Do you realize that the first 211 pages of this forum took two full years to complete?

YET, the next 211 pages (of which THIS page (422) is part) took only 3 months.

Just thought I would share.

I knew it was going quickly! Yahoo! So the showgram was good for something.

[SDReadhead]

Well, of course they wouldn't qualify because of all of the humanitarian relief work they've done in Equatorial Guinea. Don't you know they are responsible for Breaking & Entering Kwanzaa there?
:turkey: Hey Catty, I'm gonna do the XXXL dance in honor of how funny your post was!

Welcome Catty and all our "out of the closet" lurkers. Like many of you said on the board today, I just can't get Sunnie and the whole Tex family out of my mind. I feel so helpless. I keep recalling how concerned Sunnie was when Jake was told his house was damaged in the fire. She was ready to give Jake's daughter some clothing. That was less than two weeks ago, and now she needs us. You are an awesome group of people, and I just know we will fill any needs that come up -- even if from afar with prayer.

What's the event we are emailing about? Well, I guess I'll just email and then I'll know.

My 15-minutes of J/J today (7-7:15) entailed XXXL acting like Christmas wouldn't come to San Diego if he skipped out on lighting the tree. I know he's a big deal, and I know he is shaped like Santa, but come on, I think that we'll all be able to get over the disappointment if he doesn't show at the festivities.

Hey Wonk, thanks for posting our stats. I hope you'll get some time to make us laugh with some of the great imagery described here today. We need to have stuff to show Sunnie when she gets back.

[SDReadhead]

Am I the only one who wants Jake and SDgirl87 to get married before XXXL and Mooch?

[Texasgirl]

Alright, this is totally off topic, but I need advice. My boyfriend and I are thinking about driving from Seattle to SF and then from SF to Seattle on December 15 and December 30. Anyone have any idea how the roads are during this time? We're mainly worried about Mt. Shasta area, but we do plan to have chains and stay on the 5 the whole way. I drive a Honda Accord...any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me so we don't cluster this message board.

I just had some time off of work recently, and my hubby and I took a long weekend to Seattle. The qualifications for choosing? A short flight, somewhere I had never been, and a place with no relatives.

We had a blast! The Science Fictions museum was awesome and the Music Experience museum was too. We stayed at the Edgewater Hotel which sticks out into the water. Thank goodness for travel deals, or it would have been Motel 6 for us. I wouldn't want to live there, but would go back to visit.

[listener13]

I have a friend who works for the Old Globe, and I'm going to have to call him and give him a ration of SH*T for even thinking FH was a good choice to light their tree.

Seriously, he must be the only celebrity still left in town because 1) Moochelle is engaged to him and 2) the Old Globe is having him light their tree.

[SDGirl87]

Hi all...

I am writing this with tears in my eyes and sick to my stomach. It appears that the entire "Tex Family" situation has been a hoax.

Several inconsistencies were noted early on by several of us, and investigated. The investigation has continued for about a week, and in that time, not one shred of evidence to verify even one word of what we were being told is true.

There is not now, nor has there been, anyone at any of the Scripps Hospitals with the name that we had been given as the "real" name. Nor has there been anyone at UCSD Thornton Hospital who was transferred from Scripps Memorial this week. There has been no one fitting the health condition of Sunnie in the ICU at any of the 3 Scripps OR UCSD. There has been no baby admitted to the NICU of any of the Scripps or UCSD in the last 2 weeks that fit the description of a 29 week baby girl born to a mother in crisis. I spoke with the ICU and NICU myself today. No baby has been transferred from any Scripps to UCSD. These are facts that have been verified by no fewer than 3 different people personally.

Further, Federal Law mandates that a baby born to a mother with health insurance coverage is automatically covered for 30 days. All medical expenses associated with the birth are covered. No Commanding Officer of any Marine Corps unit would put up his own money to help one of his Marines, especially not in the high high dollar amounts that we were led to believe.

There are more things that don't add up and don't make sense that the chat room group would understand but that wouldn't make sense here because the conversations there were a bit more in depth. For example, FriendTex could not possibly be getting onto base and into the Exchange on base. She is not a military dependent. Her "husband" is supposedly a civilian contractor on base, which would give HIM base privileges, but not his dependents.

I have spoken on the phone with "FriendTex" repeatedly over the last few days. I spoke with her approximately 2 hours ago by IM and I told her what my suspicions were. She tried to assure me that they were false, and agreed to meet me at UCSD to introduce me to Sunnie's brother and the 2 grandmothers. She told me to call her as I was leaving work, which I did, and like every other time I've called, I got the voice mail. I told her that I was headed to UCSD to meet her...to give her the chance to prove me wrong. I sat in the parking lot for 45 minutes waiting for my phone to ring...then I tried to call her back. Again, the voice mail. I then came straight home and logged on to my computer to tell you all this sickening truth.

I could go on...but I don't think that I have to. This is a hoax. We don't know why it was perpertrated. I am deeply sorry for any role that I have played in this,with my own innocent trust. I am terribly sorry for all of the pain, tears, anguish, sorrow, worry and sleepless nights that this has caused. We erred on the side of compassion, and that's never wrong. I would do the same thing all over again because my own personal belief is that I am here to serve...no matter what.

I am so sorry. I truly am. It's all over now...there is no tragedy, other than the fact that we have all been horribly horribly lied to.

[ElizabethAZ]

I don't get it. Surfing Texan was a real person here originally, and then she started having contractions, and then her husband logged on for her.

When did the hoax part start? DaddyTex in the chat room was all a hoax? Who was it, and why? Is friendtex the hoax?

I just don't get it. SDGirl, you can pm me if you don't want to post here. Help me understand.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

{{{Hugs, SDGirl87}}}

I know how hard that post was for you to write and I just want to let all the others here know just how much time, energy and heart you (and many others) put forth in the past week for "Sunnie, etal".

We all acted out of the kindness of our hearts, with true compassion for those who we thought were going through major troubles. There is nothing to be sorry for - we showed our true colors and for that I am proud!

[11th Reader]

SDGirl87,

I know this has been hard for you...you've definitely been the point person for all of this and you've dealt with more than any of us did in regards to this.

I agree with OKODM...while this is awful that this was a hoax, but it shows how close we've become and how we are able to pull together as a group. I am still proud to be a part of this group and proud to call you all my friends.

*hug*

[SDGirl87]

Elizabeth, every word ever uttered by "Surfin Texan" was false. There were no contractions. There is no husband, there was no Iraq return by the Red Cross. We believe that Mike, Holly and Beth (Daddy Tex, Sunnie and FriendTex) are all the same person.

Every word was a lie.

[Daisy CA]

Someone from the Spewgram messing with us perhaps???

[ElizabethAZ]

WOW.

I don't know what else to say....

[ElizabethAZ]

I wouldn't give anybody on the Spewgram that much credit.

It has been nice getting to know each other though, so it hasn't been a total loss. I just have to now explain to people why they no longer need to pray.

[OneKidOneDogMom]

Someone from the Spewgram messing with us perhaps???

Personally, I don't think they have the brains to pull something like this....they certainly don't put this much effort into their spewgram!!!

[ElizabethAZ]

SDGirl, you have been closer to this than any of the rest of us. I am so sorry that you have been messed with. You are a wonderful, giving person, and it is terrible that someone has taken advantage of your kindness.

So should we continue our weekend plans and make it for us? ;)

[PQ Gal]

SDGirl87,

Thank you for telling us, I know that was hard and we all respect you for it. You know what there is always good that comes out of things. Some of us gave blood and someone who really needed it is getting it. Some of us prayed, some of us thought good thoughts, we all worried. We cared and we still care and nothing can change the hearts of the people in this room. It showed the good side of us all, and one event will not change that.

Shame on whoever did this, but what goes around comes around so not to worry. SDGirl we appreciate your open heart and willingness to help.

So now on to ragging on JJ, Tummy, Moochele and LBM. All I keep thinking of is Tummy exploding like a balloon after actupuncture. I just can't get it out of my head. hahahhahahahaha

[SDGirl87]

By the way...the chat room was real...and the crash of the chat room was entirely coincidental. It was just weird timing.

We ARE looking to try and find another chat room alternative, as it appears that Chatzy is completely down. We had a lot of fun in there...and we were really getting to know each other well :)

If anyone has any suggestions, let's hear it!

[califbrat]

If we want to talk but not in the chatroom where TexFam or whoever they are will see we should start another one for "us" and should pm each other on how to get in.. or maybe just stay here and let them know how much it hurt us and how much we were willing to help.. we are good compasionate people here.. too bad they won't ever realize it...not sure of my feelings feel used, taken advantage of but like the posts before me am glad that we acted like our true self.

califbrat # 18

[SanDiegan]

What a time for the chat to be broken!!!!!

On one hand, it is a blessing that there really ISN'T a sick woman on the brink of death in a hospital. But then it saddens me that someone would pull such a cruel joke on good-hearted people.

[califbrat]

Ditto

[iamsheens]

oh my gosh I am sick to my stomache as well...I dont get it who was the girl those pictures were of? And what about the kids in those pictures????

and why would someone do something so horrible....that is awful...

SDGIrl Im so sorry you had to tell us this news....I know how hurt you must feel...I just cant believe someone could do such a thing...

This makes me absolutly ill. And we thought the Spewgram was bad. I'm so sorry to hear this SDGirl. You really put your heart into helping someone else and I hope that you never stop being the kind person that you are. DISGUSTING!!

[califbrat]

We do need a chatroom more than ever to vent or whatever.

[NewAgeGoddess]

I don't get it? Holly (sunnie) gave me her phone number on the Monday of the fires. Why would she do that if it wasn't her?

[iamsheens]

oh how i wish there was a chat room....I cannot believe someone would do such a cruel thing, im so shocked...it seemed so real...Its one thing to do it to us over the internet but to have "Beth" call SDGirl is horrible....what is wrong with people? i really cannot begin to understand this...im so sickened...

[califbrat]

What about the gal who's husband went to the hospital to meet with "Mike" did he ever get to meet up with him or what? So many people willing to give their time, love & support for ??

so confusing and why someone would be so sick to do this!

That was Beth, aka "TexFriend"...either way, it's the same person

[ElizabethAZ]

New Age what happens when you call it?

She sure lucked out having the fires happen when they did, didn't she?

[califbrat]

That was Beth, aka "TexFriend"...either way, it's the same person

Got it, didn't realize that, how down right dirty of someone to do that.. and a few other choice words...How someone can get off on that kind of deception..strange.

califbrat 18

[NewAgeGoddess]

I just called her on the Wednesday of the fire. There was a message machine. I didn't leave a message because I thought she might have gone to the hospital. I still have the number.

[NewAgeGoddess]

I an in TOTAL SHOCK!!!!!

[iamsheens]

if i could find a chat room for us to chat in tonight, if at all possible would anyone be interested? I think we all want to talk about this...

[NewAgeGoddess]

I would.

[blondmom]

i believe what you are saying, but i find this whole thing hard to believe. why would somebody make up such terrible lies?

i'm confused, as usual

[califbrat]

Of course but you would have to pm us maybe to keep it PRIVATE unless Beth & "the others" join in...still in a strange daze about this and I haven't even broken out the vino yet!

califbrat 18

[longtimereader]

I'm so puzzled by this SurfTex, Sunnie, DaddyTex, BabyEleanor thing. Is it really true? The whole thing has been an entire hoax? If so, then I'm glad one of the DC members isn't really in a coma with a 29 week-old baby in a NICU. BUT... what a cruel trick to pull on us! Shame on you SurfTex, or whoever you are.:shake:

Why isn't the chat room working in a time like this??? ARRGH!

[claystone]

SD Girl
Wow! This was some very sad, sad news...that someone would tug at others' hearts for the reason of "what?" Thank you for having such compassion and keeping us informed when you thought this was a real situation. When we do get a working chat room up, I do want to join. I really hope surfin' tex doesn't rejoin under another name. With the fires and this situation though, it does show that this group has a heart of gold! :) You guys rock.

[SanDiegan]

Whoever surfin_tex is, they joined back in July. And spent the majority of the time conversing about J&J. Five months is an awfully long time to wait to finally pull something like that, but maybe they are just patient enough to forge relationships in order to pull harder on the heartstrings.

Has anyone involved contacted the police yet? You know this person will just turn around and con someone else.

[Carol]

A) What an idoit, you have their phone number
B) I LOOOOVVEEEE that they are prob. laughing at the Hoax, and how well they pulled it off, and how we all "fell" for it, yet all it did was show how kind, caring, and well people pull together when a "good" person is in trouble

[iamsheens]

I'm setting up a temporary chat for now when I finish it up I'll send links out to whoever wants to chat....

[longtimereader]

if i could find a chat room for us to chat in tonight, if at all possible would anyone be interested? I think we all want to talk about this...

Yes, count me in. I'm confuzzled, and want to talk...

[texasmommy]

Thank you soo much SDGirl87... You worded everything just right. Today was not fun finding out all the lies... How dare them do this. I have been sick to my stomach all day. I am so very sorry for everyone that has become emotionally involved. But truely we have all become so close and I hope that closness continues. Yes, we need to find another Chatroom. I will see what I can do. It was not hard for me to find the last one although it obviously wasn't that good. And hey, I want my $9 back. I paid that $9 so I could save that prayer that we prayed with DaddyTex, so he would have it to give to Sunnie.. UGHGH....WHATEVER.

[LisaP]

I have to admit that I am surprised, but not completely. Even as I read all of what has transpired recently, something just kept tapping my forehead with a question mark.

Having been a part of several boards over the course of the past 8+ years, I am sad to say that this was not the first time this has happened. And like the others, there was much pain caused to innocent people.

The board died right as I was getting information via e-mail from a military friend who had first hand knowledge of Tricare and the NICU. She shot down the whole scenario of "the hospital making them pay but they could be reimbursed".

But I still wonder about two things:

Was "Beth" calling you SDgirl87? If so, who was she. Obviously if it communication was via e-mail, it could be anyone.

Who are the people in the photos that the links were posted of?

Lastly, I agree with those above. The shamgram could no way pull something like this off - even if they added all their brains/iqs together in one person.

[NewAgeGoddess]

BRB. I need to pick up my son from football practice.

[Carol]

Has anyone involved contacted the police yet? You know this person will just turn around and con someone else.


They didn't really do anything other than fabricate a story, is there anything to talk to the police about?

Unless they were going to ask for money for the child....Did she?

[ElizabethAZ]

Sheens, please count me in if you get a new chatroom up.

[SanDiegan]

LisaP- I agree. I was healthily skepitcal the whole time, but it didn't hurt... prayers are free. I semi-believed it was real because they never asked for money... until the past two days. they have major patience. They are obviously professional.

[SDGirl87]

I'm IN. PM me. We'll get the word out :) I could use a little decompression time. It's been a tough day.

[11th Reader]

I'm setting up a temporary chat for now when I finish it up I'll send links out to whoever wants to chat....

Please include me in this.

[texasmommy]

Yes, LisaP.... SDGirl talked to Beth, has a number for her... She also has a home number for Holly and a cell number. She was even given a room number at Scripps La Jolla. Can you believe how sick that is?

[califbrat]

I thought the same thing..who are they in the pictures...

[texasmommy]

Who knows who is in the pictures. They could be stolen off a photographers website...Who knows??? The fact is that these are some SICK SICK people..

[ElizabethAZ]

They didn't really do anything other than fabricate a story, is there anything to talk to the police about?

It is fraud, and if they had received any money it would have been illegal. We were not there yet, but close. I don't know, but it would be a good question to ask the police anyway. They may be milking this on several boards simultaneously and maybe the others are closer to giving them money.

My latest google search for this forum was "got apex sunnie" so maybe I'll try it again and see if any other message board threads come up.

[califbrat]

SDGirl87

You carried much of this on your shoulders and helped all of us to help them.. your are a wonder, special compassionate person & don't let what they did to you and all of us take that away.. we are blessed to know you and have each other to rely on..

[cheekymonkey]

Please read your PM I sent you but I wanted to repeat some of it here so that others can read it and I believe the majority of posters here will agree:

SDgirl---your heart is a big loving one. We should all be so lucky and so proud to be able to call you a friend. Because of your trust and caring nature, you opened your life to a person, a stranger, who took full advantage of your care. :boxing:

Please do not blame yourself for any of this. Thank you for following up and I'm sorry they broke your heart like this.

We are still here, we all still care.

Now let's get back to biznuss and take bets if Laura is off the bottle or how soon will she fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



:cheers:

[iamsheens]

Ok if you want to be part of the chat room pm me with ur email addy...i have no idea if this website i found is going to work but its worth a shot

[beffers]

I've only posted a couple of times but read the posts regularly with great enjoyment.

SDGirl and others, including myself, who were certainly taken in my "Tex Family" owe no apologies for being compassionate human beings.
As for why anyone would find it entertaining to play on the kindness of others, the only thing to say is "what goes around comes around." That's the one belief that seems to come true over and over again.

Thank you, SDGirl for all you do to keep people posted. I'm sure people who truly know you are so grateful for your presence in their lives.

Girl, if you have the phone number, POST IT!!! THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM!! All the lurkers can call them out as well as me. Wait till I get my 2cents in!!


POST THE NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11th Reader]

The legal in me:

Fraud: any act, expression, omission, or concealment calculated to deceive another to his or her disadvantage

In legal terms, we haven't been "injured" as we didn't give money or do anything like that. As result we'll have no claim, but I'm sure this person will do it again to someone else, and maybe will be successful. I'm not sure what alerting the cops can do unless we have suspicions on who it is though...

Maybe we could get an IP address throught gotapex, or track down the phone number, but I believe that's all we have to work on right now...if anything, we need to contact gotapex to see if they can do anything about this.

[ElizabethAZ]

I think I may have figured out how she made up her screenname and persona....in googling different elements of the info we had, I discovered that Texan Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash the night he performed at the Surf Ballroom. Holly, Surf, Texan....sick sick sick.

[cheekymonkey]

I got this pm from SdGirl and this will stay with me forever:

COMPASSION IS NEVER WRONG

My mantra for life.

:cheers: to you girly!!

[ElizabethAZ]

True cheekybrat! SDGirl is right as usual.

[califbrat]

Oh that is soo SICK...

[califbrat]

The Buddy Holly comparison

[ElizabethAZ]

The Buddy Holly comparison

Not sure if that was really it, but I do wonder if someone was looking for a persona and chose it for that reason.

[cheekymonkey]

The Buddy Holly comparison

So true but I'm so impressed!! I wish I could think of warped things like that! Oh well. Such is life!!

[LisaP]

Who knows who is in the pictures. They could be stolen off a photographers website...Who knows??? The fact is that these are some SICK SICK people..

That is what one of the fakes on another board did. She posted pics of not only "her house", but also of "her" and "her fiance". The pics were one of her downfalls though, as when there were some holes to her story, holes in her pics were discovered.

[ElizabethAZ]

Did anyone save the photobucket links to the pictures? I know they were listed in chat, not sure about here.

[Jammie J.]

SDGirl87 is correct when she says that compassion is never wrong. The person who abused that compassion is wrong.

I have to admit that I'm sure glad it's a hoax. It would have really sucked to lose one of our members that way.

[texasmommy]

I have them Elizabeth..

[SanDiegan]

Anyone who looked at them should have the site listed in their browsing history... I'll try to find it...

[RowdyOne]

I kinda had a ??? when "Holly's" photo was posted... too professionally model-like, ya know? Tugs at the heartstrings, with 4 kids under 5. I'd had a couple of PMs from Surfin-Texan early on, unrelated to this fraud. I agree that it's too slick for someone on the Spewgram to perp.

[SDGirl87]

Did anyone save the photobucket links to the pictures? I know they were listed in chat, not sure about here.


THESE pictures?? :gle: http://s231.photobucket.com/albums/ee201/Davenports66/


The phone numbers that I have:

Holly/Mike Home: 760-494-7853.

SDGirl, so glad you posted earlier that NO ONE should send money.

SICK AND TWISTED! WOW. We've definitely been duped, but as you say SDGirl87, I'd much rather err on the side of compassion than the ugliness that perpetrated this!

Wonder what info the moderator has.

This is just the underbelly of humankind and we all, I am proud to say, are the light.

Keep the faith good people and cherish our connections and the goodness we found thru this.

I really don't think the spewgram has ANY hand in this. I think it would be too risky for them to do something like this, and I don't think they would want to loose their jobs..

...The creepy thing? The con is prob reading eeevveerryytthhiinnggg right now! YIKES!

[Wabbitsd]

I'm sorry, y'all. You folks are wonderful...

You know when I had a suspicion? When she said she was having contractions and the evacuation notice was given...I point blank asked her if she wanted someone to come and get her.

She never addressed my offer. I just was holding back, maybe a bit offended, but something right then made me wonder.

I believed the story, too...even talked to my sis over in HI associated with the Navy. She had some concerns, but I figured she was just more of a crabby suspicionaire than I was. geeze.

All who were so willing to help, let me say I am truly in awe of your kindness and willingness to open your hearts like that.

If you do another chat, I would love to join for the few minutes I can...kid is coming home from field hockey game, and I gotta get her dinner and onto her homework for the evening, but I'll check in again.

you folks are great...

to whoever that troll (complete with wicked wrinkles and warts) is: you are a real big deal. hope you are proud of yourself....and that you get a real bad case of athlete's foot.

I officially request that #130 (and 130A) be removed and left unassigned...in honor of all of our heros fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and serving in places of peace. In honor of those who won't come home....and the families that have sacrificed so much . They are our #130. They are our heros.

To be perfectly honest, anybody that claims to know any one of those idiots on a personal level, is not somebody I give much credit to on this thread. And I may get attacked for saying this, but I don't even really believe that Amused is who she claims to be. I base this on the fact that she contacted me privately saying one thing, and then said the opposite here publically, (among other things).

Those people are pot-stirrers, and none of us should put it past them to create multiple accounts on this thread, and play along.

This is from 08/30.

Ironic? Ominous? under-our-noses-all-along obvious?

I second that request SDGirl87
You are truly an amazing person. I am blessed to know you from your posts only.
This whole DC is truly blessed, each of you.
The love, compassion and sharing has had an enormouos impact on my life as of late.
It has helped deal with my own troubls with my niece in the hospital.
We will all survive..

[shello]

I just called her on the Wednesday of the fire. There was a message machine. I didn't leave a message because I thought she might have gone to the hospital. I still have the number.

Wow, just got home and have not finished all the reading, but wow!

Hey, NEWAGEGODDESS (sorry for the caps) but Google the tele number or go to www.switchboard.com and search by phone to see if you get anything.

If there is one good thing to come of this it is that folks here donated blood. (sorry if this was stated in later emails but I am only now getting caught up)

OHMIGOD, I've never logged on here at night, but i've been worried sick, crying to my husband and friends... and now to find out this.

It makes me feel so foolish, this was my "first" connection like this online, and it was a hoax. I feel like some kind of dope, how will I tell my friends and family to stop praying?

I know this isn't about me, it's about us. But dangit! I felt compassion for a fellow pregnant lady!!!

LET'S CALL THAT NUMBER, NewAgeGoddess! In fact, let's all call Surfin Texan out on this, dare her to show her ugly truth.

Makes me wonder if it is FH and a conspirator? Questioning/slamming Amused, etc. Whoever it is lives and thinks on a different plane than we do and there is no trying to figure it or understand such wickedness or cruelty.

[SDtoOC]

SDGirl, I am just glad you are safe! These sick people could have had some very bad intentions when "meeting" you in a parking lot.

I am sorry that this has happened. In fact, I stopped reading the boards because I was just too sad about this poor famliy's plight in the wake of the fires...it was too much. Id din't want to know the "bad news" if it indeed happened and mom or baby (or both) passed away. I just happened to check in this evening...and then this. Perhaps "ignorance is bliss" but I also love love love the statement "compassion is never wrong"...we should all remember that fact.

I have been lurking for a long time and only post occassionally. My place of employment blocks this site (the nerve!) so, I only read in the evenings. Most of the remarks that I would make have already been made, so there is no need to repeat the obvious. But I would just like to say to everyone that I am sorry that feelings are hurt and people are feeling betrayed.

Yes Carol

That is why we should have our own private chatroom that only the people that have been here and get a private ok to go in via pm to you or whoever is doing it... or like I said earlier they should catch hell from us now.. but they they are probably gettin off on it and I don't them to get anymore enjoyment out of this...

Is switchboard the same as doing a reverse phone look-up? I've found addresses that way before...

[SanDieganNoMore]

A reverse phone # search is one option on switchboard. They also allow you to search by name or address.
