Common Ground Coffee House #115

Our snow is completely melted and it's nice to see the grass again, even if it is brown and muddy.

Saggy, here's some rice and Pepsi since no one else gave you any.

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Our Daughter went to the OB/GYN today, and he told her that if she doesn't have the baby this weekend that he'll induce labor this coming Monday.

So bags are packed, and cars are gassed so we can make a mad dash if we have to.

Please pray for Louise and the Baby, and for patience for the rest of us. Thanks.

 

Praying for you Cuz!! Enjoy your new additions!

 

FoG, you guys seem to have babies and younguns popping out from every corner! That must be so much fun, despite the work!

The weather here is warming up. We had thunderstorms! I'm wondering if this is the last we've seen of cold weather this winter here in OK, or if it simply is a break. I'm gonna find a master gardener out here in the next few days and find out WAZZUP! and when planting time starts. WHEEE!!!! I can't wait to get to youngest ones involved in growing stuff and getting their hands dirty!

I am kinda hoping I'm not gonna get detention...I took an assignment sub teaching an Algebra 3 class and the teacher had left the kids 36 questions...and told me to grade them after 30 (thirty) minutes. Is that stinkin' insane or what for that type of work! So technically I did what he wanted...I graded them after 30 minutes, but gave them all the answers and told them they could take their papers home as homework and just make sure that they showed their work when they bring it back tomorrow. :saint:

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Still no Baby.

I've driven our Daughter down bumpy roads, she's been walking in the mall and in the house, and still no labor.

Asked her what she wanted to eat and she requested: Broiled Sirloin Steaks, Twice-Baked Deviled Potatoes, Tomato Olive Salad and Pistachio Ice Cream Dessert for dinner. We'll see if that stirs anything up. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Hello Folks,
Yeah...been quite awhile..but I thought there might be some of you here that would want to know this.
BH, my best buddy, and ya'll former head of security...was found dead in her cage yesterday morning. She would have been 6 in April.
Tho we hadn't been on here in a long time, she helped me to help spread the word to many many folks the last 3 years especially. She would tell them of her Creator, and then go on to explain why she was just that for her...but Lord to us. Did manage to open some eyes here and there.
She had become known, and loved by many around the world...kinda remarkable for just a little crippled squirrel...heh.
But, like I said..just thought those of you that remembered her might want to know...
BH (ButtHead)

Well...I tried to upload a picture...oh well..your loss..sorry.

 

Awww....that is very sad. I'm so happy that she and you had time together. Your story and situation with her was unique and heartwarming. I know she was much more than just another little critter...she was YOUR critter and the best one ever! Ya done good Preacher.

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

Sorry about your loss Preacher. BH was one-of-a-kind and will be missed.

5-4-3-2-1- WE HAVE A BABY!!!!
Jordyn Alexis was born at 11:29am today, she is 7lbs 8ozs, and 21 inches long. Mom and Dad are doing fine, but Papa and Nana are bushed. We arrived at the hospital at 1pm yesterday, and labor began in earnest around 5pm yesterday.

Talk to everybody later. Time to :sleeping_2:

 

Congrats on the new baby, Cuz!

Ann, the wind here is blowing more like it does in March! And it has a tinge of cold to it. We all don't consider 50 to be cold, but when the wind about blows you off your feet, 50 is COLD!

 

Good Morning Everybody,


Thanks for the congrats everybody.


I was just getting ready to go to the hospital when our Daughter called and told us that they will be coming home today. Everything is ok with Mom and Baby, but this still seems fast to me, but what do I know?


Ann, It is windy and 16 with snow flurries here today. Our high is supposed to hit 20. Tomorrow we're forecasted to be in the teens with wind chills below zero, again with snow showers.


Time to get everything ready for Mom and Baby. She wasn't sure what time they'd be released, just that they would be.

 

Yay!! Congrats to you and fam, FOG!! :applause:

 

Bleck Cuz. My husband wants to move further north to somewhere with "seasons", but stuff like you are having reminds me of why I like Alabama! I'm not sure my arthritis could take extended periods of temps that cold. I'm freezing today and our temp is up to nearly 50 again. It's the wind though. If it weren't blowing it would feel alot warmer and I'd be running around barefoot!

They say we may have ice come Friday night. I sure hope not. Snow in the south is bad enough but ice is AWFUL!

Ann, pass me a cup of that Starbucks will you please? maybe that will warm me up! :laugh:

 

MK, according to weather.com - not always the most reliable source around, I know - we are supposed to have a light wintry mix here in the upstate of SC on Saturday...time will tell...

 

Happy Baby Welcoming!

The kids are ALL home today because there's an impending winter storm that's supposed to knock all our socks off or something.

Which is good, because I was already keeping one daughter home until the school apologizes to her and me, and if that doesn't happen she's getting pulled.

Why? Because she did what she was SUPPOSED to do and what I taught her to do and the school punished her.

A boy was mocking her and cussing her out in gym. She followed my instructions to the letter by

1. Going and telling the coach

When he didn't fix the situation she

2. Respectfully asked him if she could leave and go call me

When he refused to allow her to leave she

3. Explained that she needed to call her parents and he still said no, so she respected his authority and stayed, but sent me a text letting me know something was wrong and I should call the school.

Unfortunately I was at work and only had a moment to figure out what was up. She has texted both me and dad, and I didn't know he'd called too.

So when I called, the office told me they'd caught her using her phone and that she was being given in-school suspension and was just upset.

I assumed she'd been caught using her phone in school and told them GOOD! Suspend her little self and I'd do more at home.

Turns out they were twisting it. She only turned the phone on in the first place to text me and dad trying to let us know she wasn't being treated right...like she was taught! When we called the school and said we got a message from her and needed to know what was going on, they went down to the gym, yelled at her in front of everyone, and suspended her for using the phone to call and tell us.

Nothing happened to the boy. He was simply sent to the other side of the gym, where his cussing and teasing her continued...and this was the third day of it.

So the honor student who does extra-curricular activities gets further embarrassed in class, then suspended for following mom's orders, and the person harassing her gets away with it.

Is that lovely or what?!
