Here's MY good news for today. I hope it lifts everyone elses spirits as much as it did mine.
I work in a photo lab. In my area here in Nashville, there are a lot of military families with deployed members. Many of the men in those families have left very young children home when they left. The wives and girlfriends are in regularly to develop pictures with me, and they often send packages to the soldiers with the pictures in them. For a 4th of July surprise, I suggested to one of the wives that she and the others (many of them are close, its ike a support group almost) that they all take a picture of the little ones wit their flags and good outfits, and we would put them all together onto one slideshow for the entire group. They added in signs for the kids to hold that said "We love you Daddy" and "Im so proud my Daddy's a soldier". We had 50 pictures all together and after a few hours of editing for them and some other little stuff, we got the CD put together. Its not part of what I normally do, any other customer and I would have just burned it. For them, I made sure it ws perfect. They sent it off REALLY early and obviously the CDs (one for each Dad, with an empoyee discount to make them a little less expenisve, and a note from me wishing them a happy and safe holiday) got there about mid June.
I worked today and one of the soldiers that recieved the CD came into the store. He hugged me thank you, and told me that it was from all the guys there. He told me I had the unique honor of having made an entire platoon cry their eyes out, and they loved me for it.
They had watched the CD every day since they got it, pointed out one anothers kids, told bragging stories about the children and in general forgot for an hour a day that they were so far away.
I dont cry often, but I couldnt keep a dry eye this morning. Neither could any of the customers wating in the line, or the managers in the store who all got called over and thanked. None of them knew what I had done, but they all thought it was terrific.
I am just glad I could make everyone's day over there a little better.

DV, that is wonderful . It shows a good heart.

My good news is that I haven't taken any diabetes meds since Monday morning, and so far, my blood sugar is normal. It takes up to a week for it to totally leave the system, but still, I have my fingers crossed.

Well I'm STILL not planning on moving or changing jobs this summer- hope to keep that going.

But, does anyone have advice on how to shut down a car alarm that they didn't know existed in their car until yesterday even though they've owned it for 5 years?

My friend from my childhood showed up for a barbeque on my balcony to watch the fireworks show, and ended up bringing a bunch of people I had never met.

We had a lovely time, and the bunch of people were fascinated to hear the stories of our wasted youth.

It is all good.

Sure..... Bonds hit another dong the other day, and is just that much closer to blowing past Aaron. He also got some serious help at the last minute and took a starting position on the NL All-Star roster.

That's good news if you're a life-long Giants fan

Yuppers!

My family and I camped 5 days and 4 nights in the gorgeous Mononghale (sp?) National Forest, deep in the heart of the Alleghenies. West Virginia is one of my favorite states, it's so damn pretty. =)

We toured Seneca Caverns, climbed a mountain, I scaled Seneca Rock, we took in a Bluegrass festival, saw lots and lots of cute spotted fawns, and just hung around the campfire enjoying the scenery.

I tell you.. sitting comfortably among the trees, with the gentle green mountains all around you, listening to the band pick "Muleskinner's Blues" is an experience that is just.... sublime. As far as I'm concerned, it was paradise on earth.

Did that "serious help" come in a syringe?

I think I see a pattern of deviant behaviour on Barry's part developing, stef......

Hitting a dong could also translates into being a rope smoker, or the Top side being into CBT.
