My surrogate mommy friend

naquata — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:26:57 GMT

Her water broke this AM. She is only 20 weeks along!

Please keep her, the unborn baby boy, and her IP's in your thoughts and prayers. This has already been a tumultuous journey for all of them. 1st she was having triplets, then they lost the twins. So this little boy is the IP's last chance at having a baby and now he is severely at risk. So, pray that she can keep the little one incubating longer, and pray that if she does give birth that the little guy has strong enough lungs and ...

Knitting?

butterflieanjel — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 06:33:59 GMT

I was just wondering if anyone else here was a knitter? I figured it sorta belonged under Creative Minds right? I am a bipolar knitter, sometimes it's all I do, and sometimes I don't pick it up for weeks.

BANNED FROM WALMART...........

Emily381 — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:51:28 GMT

BANNED FROM WALMART...........

This is why women should not take men shopping against their will.

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to

WalMart.

Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get

in and out.

Equally unfortunately, my wife is like most women - - she loved to

Browse.

Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local

WalMart.

Dear Mrs. Samsel,...........

Over the past six months , your ...

Through highschool i played frosh soccer, jv softball, the sophmore year i started playing hockey i played a youth league and also helped start the girls program at my school.

For the people I care about...Mayonnaise jar and coffee

baybeegurl5469 — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:57:42 GMT

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor ...

God made me- I was no accident

Walking

ADMIN Sarah — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:41:36 GMT

So the baby and I have been taking a walk every morning after Mike leaves for work. Its not exactly getting me into shape but I feel better

And it keeps her quiet for about an hour!

We are slowly going to start walking more every week... next week we are going to attempt the 3 mile track!

armywife96 — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 17:07:53 GMT

How I don't know. I don't want to jynx it and have it stop but I don't know why I am losing it. The only thing I have changed ...

100 years ago

baybeegurl5469 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 19:01:30 GMT

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!?

The year is 1908.

One hundred years ago.

What a difference a century makes!?

Here are some statistics for the Year 1908 :

The average life expectancy was 47 years.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world ...

Sweet Caroline — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 01:59:31 GMT

So, Brett burned me a ginormous playlist--it was over three cds--and he included in it a song that he said held particular significance to us, and I though it was fairly applicable:

Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by0T-dxkMQ0 )

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

While I recall all the words you spoke to me

Can't help but wish that I was there

Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear ...

HeatherH — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:24:11 GMT

So I'm back, I'll try and be on more and actually post and not just be creepy mc creeperton hanging around in the background.

Also, if anyone has any idea as to how to go about getting info on rental properties between nashville and clarksville TN, please holla at me...lol. I'm stressin hardcore at this ...

Prayers and Finger Crossing PLEASE!

baybeegurl5469 — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 18:06:58 GMT

So, as most of you know Jon was supposed to be home on Friday and is being delayed because the paperwork wasn't ready.

So I am HOPING for tomorrow. In my head I am trying to tell myself Tuesday so it'll be a pleasant surprise if he does get to come home tomorrow.

I'm asking please if you could pray for me or keep your fingers crossed for me!

THANK YOU!

I hope I get to see him tomorrow!

Send your prayers

Emily381 — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:07:47 GMT

This was a young tropper from around here. His wife is asking for prayers, it is a really sad story.

Psykiblue — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:09:54 GMT

Ever since I hit 18 I've always had to struggle with weight issues. Mostly it was because I wasn't as active as I wanted to be/was use to and was eating all the wrong foods. In 2004 I just decided enough was enough and I wanted to be healthy. So I lost approx 60 pds and felt great however I gained that back and more. In December of last year I decided enough was enough and I wanted to be healthy so I made an appointment with my dr and we sent myself to a nutritionist again and boy was it a wake ...

Male or Female? (after my day I really needed a laugh)

baybeegurl5469 — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:39:42 GMT

You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female.

Here are some examples:

FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.

PHOTOCOPIERS: These are female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons.

TIRES: Tires are male, ...
