I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday when everyone was celebrating Elvis's birthday. Gloria Jean told us a personal story about Elvis Presley. She was working on a film at Paramount in 1961 at the same time Elvis was working on "Blue Hawaii." Gloria was having lunch with some other girls who were in the movie she was in, and Elvis came to their table and talked to Gloria. He said he wanted to do a film with her, because he thought their voices together would be dynamite. Meanwhile, the other girls at the table were just about going through the floor because Elvis was talking to Gloria! Gloria immediately told her agent about the conversation, but the agent never followed up on it---he should have had photos taken or talked up a film project with Elvis's people, but he just let it drop.

Michael Jackson was a fan of Gloria's, too. He once sent her a fan letter, hand-delivered by a courier, asking for an autographed photo.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy[/QUOTE]


That is such an awesome story , thanks for sharing that with us. She must have been so flattered to have none other than the King himself wanting to work with her. .....and then years later to be admired by the king of pop.
 
Forgot to mention that I didn't see any Northern Lights last night. We had some clouds, and due to the houses in our neighborhood, I couldn't see the horizon (if they showed up, they would have been low in the sky). Oh, well.
 
Hey everybody!!!! School has started for Kandice again (she thinks that sucks....hahahaha) and all is going their regular ways.......only my cat thought she has to get sick.....she was trying to pee everywhere....You could tell she couldn´t really do it.......it turns out to be a bladderinfection....so now we drove to the vet who gave her some antibiotics that last for three weeks plus a pain killer so she can pee again.....cost me 30Euros.....I would have paid 100 if it made her feel better!!!!!

Sorry to hear your cat isn't well. This infection can be quite common with cats. Make sure she is having plenty of water. Hope she recovers fully soon. My son started school again this week to, the holidays went by so fast!

Merry Morning!! Fun night at the Pines last night although I think I should have stopped at my first Polar Vortex.....

Dull , rainy and damp here but can't complain. We made it to school without getting soaked at least so I'm good :) Have temperatures been warming up for you guys? Hope so.

We have been watching Stargazing Live this past week. It is a live Astronomy broadcast of events taking place in space. We watch it every year. Last night they had Walt Cunningham and Chris Haddfield as guests . Boy did they have some stories to tell ! This year they are capturing the Aurora Lights live. We might be able to see it here tonight, very exciting!

Not much planned today. I am taking it easy and light this week. I am always rushing around and busy and felt like I needed some down time. Having said that my little Isaac has other plans for me!

Have a good day!

Sounds like you're having a very busy day, as always. Stay dry! Have a great day!

Good Morning; How is everyone on this glorious Thursday morning? I had a very early rise this morning (4:15am) to get up and head to work (had to make up some time).

Funny thing has occurred since we have moved (about 50 miles away from our previous address) and since we have, we have had a kid(s) (ages 19-21) from our old neighborhood at the house almost everyday since we left. Last night for instance, we had 5 of them there. They're following us....lol!

Lisa and just sort curled up on the couch together, later on in the evening in front of the fireplace sort of getting a chuckle out of all of it. Here we are, moved away and they're driving 50 miles just to come and hang out with us and our kids. We bought them all Pizza and subs and let them spend the night if they wanted to. We just sort of feel good that they like us that much and still want to be around us....They come in the door, run over to us, hug us and sit around and talk to us for awhile, makes us feel like we are doing something right~:wink:

Sounds like you guys had such a great evening! What a way to spend it too!

Have a great day at work. Safe travels!

Good morning all. Today I'm off to conflict mediation training. I'll be there tomorrow, then I have to do ten hours of conflict counseling while under supervision. After that, I can apply for my certification. My agency is paying for it all, and I think it will look good on my resume so I'm excited about it. But I may not be on today as much. So, I wish everyone a great Thursday!

Good luck with the training! Have a great Thursday as well!

Good morning all. Temp was a cool 18 when I left for work this morning. Sadly temps will be in the 50s this weekend. At least this will give the folks around here a chance to thaw/repair their water lines. Many folks in our area use spring water and their lines froze in the sub-zero temps. We have a well and were fortunate to avoid the frozen water lines. Hopefully winter weather will return soon.

Our son's girlfriend heads back to college Monday. He will be heartsick for a while but we have to get busy applying for college scholarships for him. January 30 will be a big day for us as he starts the interview process for a full scholarship at Gardner Webb University.

Have a blessed day everyone.

Praying the interview goes well.

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It was in the mid-40's at daylight this morning, so back to business as usual here in south Georgia. After I got to work today, I got a call about a busted water line under the train depot. Luckily, one of our councilmen owns a business one block away, so he went by to turn off the water till we can get it fixed.

Great news from CAH!!! :???:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good Morning MMC!!!! It's going to be a warmer day here with a high of 30 degrees. We are also going to get some snow showers too because we don't already have enough out there. Oh well at least it's only going to be an inch or so. It sounds like the roads are still horrible out there too. So needless to say, people are getting a little impatient with the DPW here. Today is going to be another day of trying to get some stuff done around the apartment. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Morning, buddy! Glad things are warming up there, but it's a shame they aren't cleaning up the roads better. If you have to go out, stay safe! Have a great day!

Hey festive! I wish I would've stopped at one polar vortex last night too- that Carl mixes them strong! And I had to be up so early this morning.

It was still -19 overnight, but could possible reach 10 degrees today. Hope so!

Glad you stayed dry this morning.
Enjoy some down time & relaxation, my friend!!

Good morning!
Are you getting any relief from the frigid temperatures?
We are supposed to see a high of 30 degrees today, that's a big difference from the past few days!
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks, HmG!!

Still bitterly cold overnight. But,
It may get up to 10 degrees! I may fall over if it does =]

Hope you have a wonderful day, too!!
