http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newsobserver/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=127525451

Now living in Youngsville. My occupation was International Import/Export Customs Regulations/Law for 26 years. Took a very early Retirement. Do need to find a part time job though. To much time on my hands.

Take it one day at a time.  

I have been through so much over the past 2 years including the death of my father, if you knew everything I've been through, you wouldn't believe it. The most important thing I've learned over the past 2 years is no matter what you have been through there is alway's hope and friendship.

Treat people the way you would want to be treated.

The picture of the kitty is Zoe Raine. Persian. See attachments. Updated Pictures Oct 22nd.

Good morning, Panthers. Week is halfway through...happy Wednesday to you!

good morning john!...hope you got some sleep last night...i think we may actually get some rain today...let's hope so...hope you have a great day! :-)

I may only have a minute here to explain to everyone - My internet provider is Embarq. And they are having problems since yesterday. My system keeps going up and down. Embarq explained I may have many interruptions today infact system may go down for 48 hours or so. So if you don't here from me - Everything is ok (except for the internet). I'll respond to everyone when I can. You all have a great day now and I'll do what I can to keep in touch. I expect the system (again) to go down any minute so I thought I would get a quick post in.

Hi there Gopanthers! Just want you to know that I used one of your comments for the "comment of the day" on the Golo home page. Thanks!

hey john...you're a golo celeb!...LOL :-)

Looks like we have to cover each other backs. I get bashed also but I'm so stubbord. I bash back. I figure with my age I'm entitled>lol I won't go into being darn right hateful though. I will be leaving tomorrow am for the dreaded trip to hickory until Sunday. I'm sure you understand that staement. It's the last to see my brother-in-law.. You have a good day and I sure do hope we get some rain. We really need rain worse than I can can recall. Eminds me of when I lived in LA. Everything looks so dry and dirty.

I meant to say dusty not dirty. Havae a good rest of week and I'll be back full force hopefully Monday...

Where's my buddy this morning? I hope you are snuggled in your bed having all kinds of pleasant dreams!!

Have a beautiful day!

Good morning!

Yes, I did quit smoking. I've been nicotine free for 254 days. I don't want to ever start again.

I used: water (lots); Chantix (talk to Dr. before considering); and http://quitnet.com. I still go to quitnet.com when I feel that I need support from other quitters (and sometimes go there when I feel great - to help other quitters).

I also made a bunch of music to which I listen to help me get my mind off of smokes.

Good luck to you!!!

Jimmy

hey john...hope i haven't missed you...internet shutdown for 2 days...how will i survive if i can't talk to you for 2 days!...hope it doesn't take that long :-)

Hi John, I'm sorry to hear about your internet. I know everyone doesn't want to hear this but I was on the way out the door, supplies in my hands, to give Beckett a bath when it started raining. We are now in the midst of a downpour and it isn't even showing up on WRAL's radar, therefore, I thought I had plenty of time. Poor Beck --- he's dirty.

Hey Man, I got everyone I called everyone I could think of on your list...... Hope you get back running...... Give me a call when you do - Shine.

Good morning John..I too have embarq, and yesterday was a bear. Every time I turned around, my computer was hanging up, or I was going places I hadn't clicked on. Crazy!! Maybe today will be better. Have a good day.

Panther... This is Houston.... Panther... this is Houston.... Do you read us Panther.... Sir... Panther is not responding....... Houston we HAVE a problem. Houston we HAVE a problem.....

Just kidding with you man - I hope you get back running...... I am going to be out of pocket until prob. middle of the afternoon... Hope it works out....... Don't feel bad the DVR receiver lost the hard drive Sunday afternoon which means NO TV but the new one came in yesterday...... Sounds good doesn't it . I burned up about 2 hours on a cell phone last night with Dish Network getting it reprogrammed.... It was a disaster.

Have a good day John, Charles, Charlie, Shine, and some things I have been called that are........ well anyway .... anything but collect and late for supper remember? Talk to you.

I've only been rafting once, but I used to be an avid kayaker. I've run the New and the Gauley. Getting dumped in the water is fun, but getting pulled back out is funner :*)

good morning john!...hope your system is acting right today!...LOL...i just got back from a meeting, that i had to be at 8:00 this morning...i had to bust my tail to get here on time...LOL...i just did make it...didn't have time to turn my computer on before i had to leave, and i'm just now finishing my first cup of coffee...maybe i can function now...LOL...hope you have a great day! :-)

hey john...glad to see that you're up and about...don't worry about the typos...just shows how real you are...were you able to get any sleep?...sure hope so...now that i've settled into my groove, i'm kinda bored now!...i know, just like a woman, complain about everything!...LOL

Hey good buddy, did U know that the main ingredient in apple cobbler is apple juice. Use it instead of water and it will come out perfect everytime. Have a good day.

Hey Panther - I am back out here wandering around...

Good morning John! Hope you are soundly sleeping again tonight. That's wild there's no water restrictions there when you're so close to Raleigh. I'll send you some rain if you'll send me some sunshine! Hope you have a beautiful Friday!

Hey Man, I crashed early last night, and slept good for once. I will be in and out all day - I am going to the beach around 7 or so this evening. I have never been to the seafood festival in Morehead - weather is gonna be good..... thought I would give it a whirl - but I will be in and out today other than running an errand or two. Have a good day friend!

No problems with them thar hills either. Blue crabs, soft shell crabs, Do you like shrimp, fish ? It will be a good time. "Camphost" ( Golo ) is going down also and we are going to try and hook up and chat for a few minutes. I sent you an e- mail Did you get any sleep? I will be around.

Nothing wrong with that....... I don't want it everyday either. I like to have variables....... although I am not picky. I am not gonna go eat monkey brains I don't think, but I enjoy trying something new. Of course - I like the old too.

good morning gopanthers..you are right, I have been slack. I havent talked to you but I have heard marvelous things about you and I knew you were doing well so I got lazy. Shine has kept me informed of your status. How have you been? Is everything ok?

good morning john...hope you had a good evening...my daughter just came and told me that she is leaving at lunch time to drive to georgia to see her dad and his family...her boyfriend isn't going with her, so she'll be driving all that way by herself...i do not like it at all!...i tried talking to her dad, to let him know how concerned i am about her driving so far, hoping that he would agree with me and talk her out of it, but NO...the jack*ss told her to come on...god, he is such an idiot!...i tried again to talk her out of it, but as she pointed out, she is 20 yrs old and does not need my permission...i am going to be a nervous wreck all day, until she gets there...please pray with me that she will have a safe trip :-)

Morning John, it looks like RAIN! I don't know how to act...

I'm wondering if you are going to the Car Show at Bobby Murray Chevrolet tomorrow (Vette's workplace)? I thought Scott needed me to help paint an empty rental (he just evicted a tenant) but his handypeople were available and it's almost done, so I am free on Saturday. I'd like to meet you and place a face with a name.

Susan

Good morning John, I'm sorry about last night --- not nice when you can't sleep. I was up at 3 am too, but not because I couldn't sleep - I had bookwork to catch up on, which I didn't, and will have to do today or tonight or more than likely, spend most of the weekend doing it.

In looking at the radar, it appears that you might actually get some rain today. I know everyone will be excited about that! We're also getting more but it is supposed to end tomorrow.

I went to Petsmart last night to get some things for Beckett and remember the two c-tiels I had to take back because they were mean to each other and to me? Well, someone bought one and the other one looked so sad there in his cage. No, I didn't buy him but am thinking about going back today to bring him home with me. I don't know why I want to do that - I have three finches now - in two separate cages - and the couple have eggs that are going to hatch next week. They are kinda messy.

Hope you have a beautiful day!

I was away for a few ..... If I have to go over there - as little of fast food that I do eat - I will be smuggling in some McD's cheeseburgers. I'll keep one in my pocket. LOL I will eat liver and onions - don't want it every day either.

How about some of those native tribes over somewhere that did that termite larva out with a thin stick and eat them and worm larva out of tree bark.... AAAAAAAAAAJHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I guess they would throw up knowing we eat a cow.

Yes it looks like some rain moving in. If it holds together should be here anytime now. Even WRAL just said it's now moving into the Triangle area. Bot I hope so. Even a few shower's anything enough to dampen the the plants - shrubs etc in the yart. Lawn is a gonner. But like I have said many times the lawn is the least of my worries. Can always re-seed and a bag of see only runs about 10.00 dollars so whats the big deal huh? Anyway while your doing you book work and you want to take a break from it shoot me a line if you just feel like talking. Love ya. Me

Jus poppin thru to wish you a lovely weekend!!!!!!!!!!

John, OK, next time is a go. Enjoy your family this weekend.

Susan

I am adding you to the list of wake up calls that I give to my fellow members that I truly enjoy speaking too. We need all the rain we can get. I hope it doesnt rain on the fair days. Are you going? What exotic fair food do you want to try. If I dont talk to you anymore today, have a great weekend. ttyl

I have had everything you were talking about... You can't find seaweed where I live..... Maybe algae bloom on a pond when it gets really hot. LOL! Talk about rice... I took a london broil and put in the crockpot Sunday....... added garlic and pesto... just a little beef broth, chunked up a big sweet onion ... cooked for about 4 hrs. added some tomato paste and a few big cans of diced tomatoes, plenty of baby carrots and mushrooms..... cooked another 4 or 5 hrs. served it over rice. It was great Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed, finally broke down with Chineese take out last night....... LOL ! Talk about rice 4 days straight.

Hey Panther - a single guy doesn't have a chance when they cook something like that....... you can either give it away or eat leftovers.... It was just like spagetti sauce - actually better the second day.......

hey john...my daughter just beeped me (nextel) to say that she was near mebane...she was talking about how cheap the gas prices are there...i told her to make sure to call me every hour...

I go on can day...LOL...and I dont eat meat but I will try the funnel cake maybe and the veggie tempura. I am not into all of that weird stuff like the fried candy bars and stuff. I go in the daytime. Scared of nightfall and all of those who are out only to misbehave..LOL..I am a coward.

Oh yes braising a piece of beef is important with any cut crock or oven. I educated myself on cooking London Broil under the broiler in the oven .. I even cooked some "nice" steaks under the oven broiler - always had to be the grillmeister. Actually those steaks were as good ....... if not better than the grill. Of course theres nothing like the good ole grill..

I just got off the phone with Camphost2007 - they are going to the S. Food also and we are gonna try to hook up for a few minutes other than a cyber hug.

Thank ya!! Trouble? ME???????? LOL!

Have three sisters, one in Charleston - she and I actually get on the phone and watch some food network shows together and talk the whole time and comment. We have a circle of friends that we all trade recipes with as well as I have a few in NC. Before Christmas I baked I think 13 maybe a few more cookies, 6 or so dozen brownies, at least 3 cakes, 6 pork shoulders, etc.... that was not including what I ate..... LOL>>>>> I love to cook and bake.... I love the recipes but alot of times I like just throwing things together, although I do think about it a while before I start throwing..... Good Food always brings Good People Together... ( Was that a Shine quote ) LOL!!!

Panther ...... I had to laugh that was 13 DOZEN cookies not 13 ... I am still laughing ---- Got to learn to "Proofread" on Fridays........ I am still laughing .... Are you insane when you laugh like crazy and you are the only one here ???? LOL!!!! (100 times).

hey john...it has just started to barely drizzle rain in downtown raleigh...hope we got some at home :-)

Hi John, Hope everything is okay with you. Is it okay? You sound a little down, worried, just not your usual self and it concerns me. I know you're tired from not sleeping. Maybe a glass of wine would do the trick. Do you drink wine?

I'll be on and off the computer all weekend, working and forgetting to work and checking out other stuff and I'm sure we'll run into each other if you're around. When I grow up, I'm not going to work as much. I may sneak away from the work tonight and do some shopping. These drizzily-rainy days make me a little lonely and stir crazy and actually, I went to Wilmington this afternoon but the traffic was bumper to bumper so I came home. I do hope you will feel better. Tell me about Zoe - what's she up to? Love ya right back.

hey...just got a call from my daughter and she is now in south carolina...it's not raining down that way...i'll be so glad when she gets there! :-)

yes...i'm afraid she has a lead foot like me!

It is never as good as the fair..LOL..I am about to be off. Have a good weekend and enjoy the rain. ttyl

Zoe is doing just fine. As usual into everything. But what can you expect with a 4 month or so kitten. She is just as sweet as she can be. It's funny - She is not afraid of the broom or vacumn cleaner. She is always under my feet when I'm cleaning the floot/carpets. She is so different then Madison and Sophie. They both run from the vacumn cleaner and the Broom but Zoe "NO WAY". LOL Zoe likes to stay up and play all night long. Lots of hardwood floors and you always here her pitter patter of her little feet throughout the night. Cute little snot.

In addtion - better start carrying a can of lysol with them or wear gloves 24/7. I would hate to think who last touched that Gas Nozzle your about to pick up at the Gas Station. Just silly.

I'm tired and I think I better call it a day. I keep posting to myself. Call me stupid and slap me upside the head. LOL

Who in the heck makes 13 cookies - - - a mathematician I suppose - That was insane..... I laughed all the way to town.

Hey John - I made thirteen cookies..... Your answer would be : Shine...... was that in an Easy Bake Oven? My answer would be ::::: Duh????? I guess LOL! If I didn't laugh at myself inside I guess I could go outside and the dogs could laugh at me..... Wait..... SSSHHHH ! ! ! I think I hear them snickering now........ LOL

Which one? Yours are great too... Did I already tell you without looking back I talked with Campost 2007 and I am going to meet she and her husband tomorrow at the Festival.... Should be fun.....
