b'day

[jack]

Pam,thanks for all the "candles" on the news fader. You know what they say about about the mature buck,snow on the mountain and the older the fiddle .

[Pam]

Not a clue Jack...snow on the moutain to us just means better skiing. Care to share?

[Smoke]

Happy B~Day to ya Jack!

[jack]

Thanks Pam and Smoke.

[Smoke]

I tried to count the # of smiles on the fader but there were so many it changed to the next message before I had time.

Keep smilin' Jack

[Pam]

There are 57 little smiley faces Smoke. And as a sign of respect for my elders I will refrain from any smart ass remarks.

[jack]

Pam,are you sure there are that many. There are some questions about the exact year of my birth . I feel so young that I really believe it's time to start subtracting a few years from what I was told was my birthday. Are you feeling OK......no smart ass comments .

smoke,don't even bother counting. Pam is in the ballpark with the number but although highly talented and brilliant,math isn't her strong suit .

[Smoke]

I can't help this one and if Pam won't do it, i'll have to pick up the slack...
Geezzz Jack a question about the year of your birth ya say,...what did you pre date the invention of the calender?...no wonder there were so many smileys.

What do I know about respect, i'm just a kid!


Have a good one

[jack]

Sundials,hour glasses,water clocks,any of those devices to get in the vicinity but just not pin it down to an exact number . Smart ass comments are always welcome .

[Pam]

Jack Jack Jack....we both know I am never w...wr...wro...wron...the W word. There was that one time I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken. ;D

Listen if I can admit I'm 39 you can admit your 57 and Smoke can show off because she's younger than the both of us

So lets see how you handle two of us Jack. I think I can say with a fair amount of certainity that Smoke is probably a bigger smart ass than I am. So anytime one of us fails to get in that smart ass comment the other will be right behind to pick up the slack. Thanks Smoke.

Ok now more of my woo's...Ryan is getting sick!! He has a horrible cough and his chest and throat hurt. Im trying to keep Kara well so they dont have to postpone her tests. If she is even slightly sick they wont do it..and I wont let them.

But on a brighter note I am only going to allow myself twice a day to feel stressed out and worried about all this...when I shower..no one can hear me cry there and when I go to bed...inbetween I'm going to do my darnest to be normal....starting with the workouts and getting down to my ice box...errrr...studio...to work. So thats my plan. Lets see how it plays out.

It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold here and is supposed to get colder... -23 right now.

You all have a wonderful weekend!!!!

[jack]

Looks like I'm in trouble with the girls .

I don't know what I can say to ease your burdens but just remember that you have a strong support group. Sometimes it's just comforting to have someone to tell your problems to for those things that have no answers....someone that will listen and care. Utilize that support Pam,it's here.

[Pam]

Just noticed something. I said "ice box"!!! For crying out loud you'd think I was Jack's age! I meant deep freeze.

[jack]

Thanks Pam.....even I don't say ice box .

[Pam]

But tell me this Jack...do you remember your grandparents' ice box?

I of course being younger only remember stories of such things.

I'm off to my "ice box"...my fingers are turning blue just thinking about it!
