Good Morning -

I'm hanging in there. Very sore - just doing a type-by. It's nice to do nothing
'guilt-free'

You all must be excited - with only two days to go.

Thanks again for your kind words and prayers. Let's pray the surgery worked
and I can start eating hot peppers again real soon. :-)

To all my dog loving friends... And for those of us who believe
God and Dog are their best friends!!! I enjoyed receiving this, hope you
do too.

Have a Blessed Day!
Love,
F

Alas, we are complete. Geri is back hooray!!!! With Franny posting yesterday and Geri today the crew is back. You guys were truly missed.
Geri, the visuals alone on that bathroom experience were hilarious. I was LMAO.
always great to laugh. I think that's all we ever did way back when.

Hey guys, does anyone know whatever happened to Eddie Pizza?

Joke of the Day......

A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak. After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.

The monsignor replied, 'When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass.. If I start to
get nervous, I take a sip.'

So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice. At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink. He proceeded to talk up a storm.

Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:

1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.
8) David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10) We do not refer to the cross as the 'Big T.'
11) When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, 'Take this and eat it for this is my body.' He did not say 'Eat me'.
12) The Virgin Mary is not called 'Mary with the Cherry'.
13) The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14) Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

See you all later... XOX

hi all a quick type by from work
terry are we still on for today at jacks???

Geri, go look at John's Facebook page. He posted a question for people to post their first memory of him and you have to see what I wrote. Don't know why whenever I think about you, I think about kissing.
Robert and I both got in trouble a few days ago because he posted a supposed picture of him and his wife and as a joke I started talking about how bad he looked. Well some caught on right away but some thought it was serious so you can imagine. Terry scolded me so I behave, but Robert kept sparring with Terry for fun and she didn't know if it was kidding or serious. What Terry may not know is that when we were quite young Robert had a crush on her. There I said it. Rob don't be pissed at me. You probably would have told her that on Saturday anyway.
Now you are up to date.

gerri congrats on good report from doctor

my 2 middle fingers are nail less lol

Eddie Pizza lived in the big red building on the corner of 22nd & 5th above the bar. He was great with us younger guys. I remember he had a newspaper route and I would ride with him on his bike and help him deliver the papers. He would take the time to teach you how to throw a football or catch and throw a baseball. I was probably 5 or 6 years old then.

Terry, there are not enough words to express just how much we ALL appreciate all you have done to make these reunions happen. Thanks also go to all the girls who have lent a helping hand. I think Robert and I joke around to try to bring a smile to your face because we understand the pressure you are under. Believe me Robert would be the first one there if anyone needed help. So just assume that what he says is in jest and there is never any malicious (sp?)intent. But I can assure you the CRUSH WAS GENUINE.

FUNNY!!!! AND THANKS !!!!!

HE BETTER POST A PICTURE SO WE KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE....
