To John's Obituary

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.

Oh John, how horribly sad this is. I don’t blame you for feeling sick and angry and heartbroken. I wouldn’t be able to contain myself either. Even in death your friend Gabe is being manipulated by his ex, and Linda is being snubbed when she was the only one who cared enough to help. I just don’t understand how people can treat others like this, people who are adults but far from being grown-ups. I have heard of similar problems, especially when ex’s are involved. Should someone be viewed or not, should someone be cremated or buried, should they rest with their old family or their new family – such heartbreak and bad feelings it brings. Did Gabe have a will? If he did, seems the family would be bound by it. Of course, this bunch could just deny it and carry on their plans to bury him in Utah, which he doesn’t want.

I’m especially sorry that you don’t feel welcome to attend. Send some flowers, and along with it, send a WITCH’S HAT for the ex.

Susan

Good morning, John. Just got your email - I sent one to you late last night, did you get it?

Forgot to tell you --- my eggs hatched --- I have baby finches! I can't tell how many yet.

Embarq is a true pain ever since they took over Sprint.

I have two babies!! But some of the eggs haven't hatched and I don't think they are going to. They are so very tiny and look like little brown tree frogs! Oh yes, they will be here next month. BTW, didn't I tell you I'm giving babies to all my friends? Best ones first --- I'm on my way to Petsmart to buy you a cage ...

Thanks and boy do I plan on having fun! I'll be sittin with the highway patrol fellas right at turn 3 in the bleacher section. I see we are in for some cooler weather too which makes it all the better! I didnt go in May due to the heat and a toothache. Now I have heard of Jack in the box but never tried it. Gonna have to look for one now! Thanks for the 411!

John, you sure deserved to vent, no offense taken. Anger will eat you up inside if you let it. Glad you are working on putting this behind you.

Cooler weather coming! I am glad in a way to see the awful heat go away, but I hate to lose the light. It's already harder to get up in the morning, and it's now dark by 7:00pm.

Susan

No, honey, please, please, please --- take my babies!!!

Hey John..I'm not having trouble with email, it's everything!!! It's acting like dial up...sssslllloooowwww!!!

I know --- no one wants my beautiful tree-froggish babies. :( It's okay. My new name will be the "bird lady of CB."

John..mine's doing the same thing. My computer is less than a year old, and we're both having the same issues, then it has got to be Embarq.

Yes I'm with Embarq also>

Sure. Now you have two "bird ladies."

No problem on the ease dropping, Im just glad to see that I'm not the only one with this view.

Hey Panther..Just put my furry babies in my gallery!

Hey, Panthers, it's SO good to hear from you!! What is new and exciting over your way? Lots of stuff going on with me..busy busy busy. Look at today's blog "giving rides" and see one thing I did over the weekend. How are you doing?

I have been quiet, haven't I? I've had a lot of work to do today, trying to play catch-up on paper work. Then I decided since I'd been so smart, I'd take myself to the mall. What are you up to?

Hey John - I hope you are hanging on with all the loses you have suffered.

(((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))

'Morning John...Hope you have a good day. Catch up later when you have your peepers open.

Good morning gopanthers..I hope you have a great Thursday. ttyl

John - I have a ton of aloe. I would love to give you a plant. Would you like to meet sometime? I will give you a plant. HUGS

Well, hey, Panthers, I'm so glad you told yourself that!! I understand your headache with the house hassles...I am involved in some real estate stuff myself. Hope all goes smoothly with the closing (but it never does, does it?!). How's little Zoe doing these days?

Good morning!

Got it. I sent one back.

Hey John, How is it going this morning?

Hey Man, Sorry - I got busy on a few things and cooked dinner last night - turned in early and woke up about midnight. Up and down it seemed until about 3 - got up at 6 - and started to give a good morning to everyone and had to lay back down .. I feel like I am on the cutting edge of catching a 'bug'.. although I don't know where it would have come from... I am better somewhat but still not running on all 8 cylinders. Have a good time at Lowes.... I will be around ! Have a good day friend. The crazies are out this morning - mostly on the story about the guy in Orange County who tried to run through UNC campus. ( Headlines) They really crack me up!!!

John - Did you get your email back going?

John : Check out the Headline "Court Papers.... " and read most of the post... You may need a beer or a glass of water - not sure but definitly an alka seltzer... LOL. Oh yeah Zeus has got it going on....... and it is funny... Let me know. Get on and if he is still on his rampage - lets catch him from two angles of the same ingenuity !!

Good afternoon gopanthers and thank you. I dont even remember ever talking to that poster. People are going to be people and if I let everyone who tries to incite me get me angry then I will be out of charactor. So I try to refrain, sometimes, you know I fail. LOL...I hope you are having a good day. Thanks again.

Hey Panther...... Today is a good one but put your chest waders on...... There is alot of (bravo - sierra) flying around. LOL!

LOL...I know a lot of people that work for Lowes. Do you like Lowes better than Home Depot? I am going to the artice now to see what you said..LOL

Guess what...my pt job is a Lowes..LOL..I know all about that zone recovery..LOL..we try to keep our stores neat and clean.

I will email you...LOL

You sound like my son about Lowes.

You act like we've never spoken. Quit goofing around.

Hey Man - That is the only way to do the halloween candy... get the stuff you like - then cut the lights off at the house after the first 30 minutes and don't answer the door. I don't have any halloweeners where I live. I used to make up some individual bags and give it to kids around the neighborhood (big neighborhood - few people) where I live - but they have all grown up and would think it was crazy now! I have been running sub par all day...long. I think I just outran catching some kind of bug.

Hi John, hope you have had a nice day. I've had a busy one! Not very nice. I sent you an email. BTW, the tank looks a lot clearer!

When my pinquin is chillin that means me too. No cooking. Take care and I understand lowe's . That's all robert asks for any of his Xmas is card gifts. Jennifer (wife) says his home away from house. He needs the second shed about now after 8 yrs of Lowes products in his large shed. Ya'll enjoy.. Hope rain comes for the fall yard planting you mentioned. I over saw where you mentioned you were from up north and raised out west and ended up in NC.. I didn't realize that. That's neat. I left NC went went south and ended up back in NC. Out to dvd time....if no tv shos..

Hey John, I might be up later but I think I am going horizontal for a while.... I have not been doing well today. I was going in to the office and just started downhill every since I got up. I will be around later I am sure and will regret going to sleep this early.

I am positive I will be back up and in orbit in a little while.

Tell our your friends and family all over the country to send water to help us with our drought. But tell them not to send the water in envelopes. We have found they leak.

hello fellow Youngsvillian! I saw your question about DMV, it is on Tanglewood dr in Louisburg (off Bickett Blvd). Take 401 into to Louisburg, it becomes Bickett, Turn Right on Sandalwood (at the Best Western) and a left on Tanglewood-its in a brick building just before Dogwood Dr. Hope This helps!

Oh lord Charles I just sent you a very big Golo and lost it somehow. Now I have to start over. LOL - Are you not feeling good because you are really sick or just in a bad mood today or just very busy which can be a pain? If your truly sick - I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon. Anyway, as I was trying to say to you before I lost my message is my Sister and Brother-In-Law and their twin 7 year olds girls are going to the Fair Saturday. They called and asked if we wanted to go. So I guess I'm going. They'll be here at 3:00 Saturday. I don't do rides but did buy some ride tickets today to go on some of them with the kids. Then they most likely (the girls) we'll spend the night. They just love to stay over. We have two computers and they love to play on them. 7 years olds and they know more about computers then I do. LOL - Anyway as you said you may be taking a snooze right now - so if you wake up and can't get back to sleep I may or may not be in bed myself. contined

So if you want go ahead and shoot me a line and if I'm up I'll respond. If not, I'll talk to you tomorrow - I am going to call you Sunday. I really want to talk about that Furniture thing. I do need some new furniture and want to get it soon. And please know I don't buy furniture over the internet and or Catalogs. I must see it to be sure of quality/comfort. I bought a chair from J.C. Penney a few years back out of their Catalog and oh lord what a mistake that was. I need a medium/light colored oak Dinning Room Set for the Dinning Room (two Captain Chairs and 4 regular chairs). Must be a darker Oak as I now have a Grandfather Clock and Curio Cabinet in that room that is a darker colored oak and I do need to get a new dresser and 2 night stands for the Master in Dark/ Mahogoney. I do love oriental style Furniture (some) and not that I have alot but I will be searching for two new Oriental Style Lamps for the master as well. Into Japanese Decor but nothing with flowers. LOL

Hi John, You've had a busy day yourself. I don't know about you but I'm glad this one is over. How is Robert?

No, no more baby finches but the ones I have are sooooo cute. I guess the other eggs aren't going to hatch. That's kind of sad. I'm really excited about the tank --- I can see the fish!!

We have power lines down here and the fire/pd depts don't know why. It's really strange. The roads are blocked as you come over the bridge and it's difficult for anyone to get on or off the island and that has to be done through the state park.

Hope your headache goes away!

Dang I'm posting to myself again. Must be getting tired. Does anyone know how I can clean/delete my own message's to myself on my own Golo. LOL

cant help you on the delete thing but hopefully the directions for DMV helped. If you have questions feel free to GOLO me!---PS where in Youngsville are you?

not a problem--enjoy the line!

Hey John, I am up and swinging this morning. I hit the rack about 7:30 last night and got up about midnight for something to eat... laid back down. I feel better but I am still tired for some reason.

John, I just sent your post to Japan or some darn place. WHEWW!

Talking about the boat on the river.. not to far from me. I use to float in different places from Rocky Mount to Tarboro and search for artifacts. I had a huge collection of sharks teeth, whale bones, Indian pottery and relics. I found a "complete" Indian pipe made of clay and wood on that river. I may go down Saturday and see what I can see. I have a airboat, but it is in between engines right now and just another project I have not gotten to. I bought it for the reason of running up and down the river to my favorite places. A canoe is fun it is just to slow going... but I spent a many of hours in one going from sandbar to sandbar.

Good morning gopanthers..It is Friday, the first day of the fair. Traffic will be crazy but I am still sooo happy b/c it is Friday! I hope you had an eventful week and a great weekend ahead!
