Thanks for introducing me to a new and nice voice. I already put him into my favorites. I just love hearing people that share such great talent with the rest of the world.

[QUOTE=Chery]The Jag I had in the 80's was so nice, and I know I'll never have another one like it. While driving, you could hear yourself think because it was so nice and quiet.. and then there was the 'cruise control' button, when I pushed it, it felt like the baby was spreading out wings to start flying - and believe me, on the German Autobahns, one could fly.. at 130-160 Kilometers/hr and not worry about getting a ticket. Those were the days!

In my young and dumb days, I told myself that that was the way I wanted my life to end, fast and down a cliff in a Jag.. even joked about it a lot. It sure would have been better than slowly sitting on life's death-row like I am now.

But I wouldn't trade a moment now, because I would have missed my daughter growing up to be a beautiful woman and mother and my grandson and getting to know all of you wonderful people. And that's what is keeping me going... till the last minute. Your love and encouragement means a lot to me.

Stringer.. now you've got me excited like a kid waiting for X-mas, wow!

Good, I'm glad.....it's nothing big...but something that fits you EXACTLY...I am excited too, like I said we will get it mailed in the next day or two...promise.

We have a busy weekend coming; Friday I pick up my two nephews at O'Hare (first time here and Chicago) big BBQ on Saturday (over 50 people coming-chicken 'not DUCK' hee hee, corn on the cob, maple flavored baked beans, cheeseburgers, hot dogs and many sides- hot dogs over the fire pit). Sunday to downtown Chicago, rest on Monday and then they go back on Tuesday afternoon.

With my business as it is... may as well live it up now... right... Still stressing... big time problems... but we will be fine, don't worry about us, believe me... I AM A SURVIVOR.. always have been... always will be.:)

[Chery]

OK, it's 4 AM in the morning here, and I really got to go.. but leaving you with something my daughter and I used to sing to, pretending we were the Judds and had our emotional moments...

Night, Night..

Breath Stringer, just keep breathing, you will be fine, you are right!
Didn't you have lots of people over last year around this time?;)

[startover22]

Just had the Judds CD in my car yesterday Chery, love them
Night baby!

[Stringer]

I remember we use to go four by'in all the time, there was one (or more) we almost lost lives. It sure was a blast, but I think back and do not want my kids to have any part in anything like that....oh please, do not let them do the things I have done...oh please....

If they grow up to be like you... they will be blessed.:)

[starbuck8]

Which one of these picks of mine do you think will win this? Here's three songs I think you'll like Momma C. These people have got incredible talent! I'm not sure of my fave, because they are all so good!

YouTube - Americas Got Talent Top 20 - Neal E. Boyd

YouTube - Eli Mattson - If I ain't got you - Top 20 agt 2008

There will only be 5 left in the competition tomorrow, and I really think those will be the top 3!

Yes... we look for an excuse to do this big at least once or twice a year... thanks for remembering dear.:)

I have had many cars, many were fast and cool but the one that I miss the most (start, you know this already) was my Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum she was a dark forest green with two white bumble bee strips on the end. Exactly like the one in this picture except the color. Four on the floor, roared like a mean lion, 400 horse power... damn the gas pedal was nine inches off the floor board. NOTHING, nothing could touch her... loved that car. Bought it in 1970 and it had low mileage and was "cherry." I polished her so much you could see two feet into the finish...

Scroll down to the second picture... that was her... only forest green and white stripes. Same tires and all...

Has anyone tried the bow and arrow game I posted?

Wow, Stringer, it looks almost like the General... did I tell you all that my real dad was born in Hazard, Kentucky? -- naturally I watched the Dukes on TV..

I'm sure that the Volvo does it's job well - and you have your memories.

[Stringer]

Almost Chery... almost.

I only lost one race in that car... first time I raced. Off the line I floored it and sat there burning tire and fish tailing left to right... I couldn't get it off the line. Made the adjustments by getting off the line a lot slower and then hit it... never lost again... I literally LOVED that puppy... and she was always spotless... inside and out.

And those pipes... man.. she roared with a deep growl...

Man... what a feeling this has brought back... feels great...

NO WAY! I've been to Hazard! I have friends that live in Hazard!! SMALL WORLD!!

Hazard is the tiniest town ever! :)

UPDATE:

Dearest unknown... I finally received your card from Mauritius! Beautiful picture of the Paradise Hotel beach. Thanks... it made it, and yes, we will meet one day, I promise!

Friend4U, After going through the customs inspection, and probably dog sniffing, at the Frankfurt Airport, a cute little kitty arrived at my door today. Manx survived the trip in great condition and he made friends with my Larry right away. Larry checked him out and even let Manx rub him behind the ears, so I know they both will get along just fine. Manx brought two postcards with him too.
Thank you so much M. I promise I will care for him well and pass him on to loving hands of my grandson later. I will probably take a picture of him and post it here sometime next week.

Just got back from infusion therapy and this time my arms did not swell up. Pneumonia was confirmed again and getting antibiotics for it now. I hope that the side-effects will be less this time so that I can enjoy the coming weekend with my whole family - it will probably be the last time. Although my brother wants to come from Vegas on Christmas and has asked me to hold on until then... I will give it my best to do so, I promise. I just hate what my dumb body is doing to me, but will not give up so easily - never have. So, cross your fingers, light candles, and send me good vibes in your spare time - they mean so much to me.

Going to rest up for a while now and be back later.. Even a few hours on my feet seem like days on a long march.. going to try to do some inner eyelid exercises and hope it brings down some of the swelling and puts me to sleep.

C.U. later.

[Stringer]

Love you Chery.

M, that was very nice of you and very thoughtful my friend... what a great gift for our Chery! Way to go!!

Morning HC, how are you doing this morning?

[Chery]

NO WAY! I've been to Hazard! I have friends that live in Hazard!!! SMALL WORLD!!!

Hazard is the tiniest town ever! :)

Sure is dear. I tried to find my Dad's side of the family but no luck. He was born there in 1927 (I think) and left there to join the Army, met my Mom in Germany in the 50's, and was also in Korea. After that I had no luck in finding him. I was told that I have a 1/2 sister who was born exactly one year before me on the same day, 22 January... He is the one who insisted that I have the first name that I have and loved me dearly until my mom threw him out of her life.. Maybe if I PM you his full name, your friends might have luck in finding my 'kin' there, if any exist. It would be nice to know.. Do you think Hazard has any postcards??

[startover22]

Chery, what a nice surprise to get mail from all the ones who love you here;) I am excited for you. Did I put the address wrong on my card, I am starting to doubt myself as I may have did it wrong, gosh! Ohhhhh I hope not:rolleyes:
Get your rest Chery...

[HistorianChick]

Hi String-man! :) I'm good. You? Busy, busy, busy! Spent a solid hour interviewing a Science faculty member - my brain hurts!

Chery - that's a good question! I will see if Hazard has post cards - have to ask my friends. Sure, send along his name. I just may be able to figure it out :)
