about hokie 94

I am a retired school administrator.   I obtained my doctorate in school administration from Virginia Tech in 94.   Blood, sweat, tears, and divorce.  But, it was worth it all.  GO HOKIES!

I truly believe that if we had more love in this world; then, we could do great things for all people.  I have read books and articles about most of the greatest philosophers of all-time during my college and university days.  I still read about them today. These philosophers, and their thoughts have something to say about love, living, forgiving, health, wealth, friendship, nurturing, sin, and how this world will live and die. 

The stuff that they have written is so true today.  Just look at the state our our Country and the World today; my friends.

There are too many people today that spend too much time concentrating on materialistic things.  We are trying to have too much without teaching values of the younger generation.  

Just work on trying to have better health and more friends.  If you have a child; then raise the child.  Don't expect somone else or the schools to do your job.

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their rear when necessary, and learn to say NO!!!!

I'm a music lover.  Music makes me feel good, sad, and it brings me to the past and sometimes makes me humble.  It affects my mood.  It makes me remember people in my life; both past and present.  Music is the greatest language of the world.  

VOTE.  If you don't vote, then you have no right to criticize anything pertaining to the democratic process. 

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH  LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

Everyday; I think this: Health, Happiness, Success, and Wealth.  Wealth does not always equate to money. Having good health is worth more than all the money in the world.

I now reside in Moore County, NC.  A great place to live.

Thanks for the prayers...I LOVE your statement. I feel the same way. Material stuff doesn't mean a thing. And Va Tech...Rock on!

Am I going to school this semester? Hell no! Ten years was more than enough for me! LOL!

Beth

Hey sugar, how are ya? Not heard from you lately. I've not been on much in the past few days. Hope you've had a great weekend. I've missed ya!!

Good Morning,hope you have a good day on this cold Monday morning.You are a good friend as well.Wrap up good as you go out and start your day as it is cold out side this morning.Take care today my friend.

Some of us girls are ccrraazzyy! LOL! I will have a good week, or atleast, try! I hope you do too!

Well, as far as EdUcAtIoN goes: I'm certainly not "well educated" so far as going to college; but I figued, what the heck, I went a WHOLE decade to school, and that about killed me. Hee hee!!!!!!!!!!!

You have a doctorate! Good grief!! That is very good. How many years of college does that take to get? I'm sure a lot!

Beth

Barry, thanks for the kind, encouraging words! I do have a job I enjoy. Actually, it's what'd you call a "dead end" job, as I can not advance, but I'm happy right where I am. I think there are a lot of folks out there, who have those hoity toity, high flying jobs and while they may rake in the money, they may also hate their job and life! Likewise, I'm sure there are many people, like myself, who may have jobs that are not "careers" but who are very happy.

I'd be much happier though, if I could win the dayum lottery!

:-)

Beth

Barry, you sound like a great guy. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Beth

Brrrrrrr, I sure will, Hokie. Nice to hear from you!

Goood Morning,wanted to stop by and wish you a happy weekend.Do you have any special plans other than trying to stay warm like me ? Wishing you a blessed day.

Thank you.Don't remember it being this cold either.Going to be colder tomorrow.Have a nice evening with your lady friend and bundle up good and stay warm.

Hey, thank you Barry, you have a good weekend too...

Hey, Barry!

Sending Warm huggs..your way!

You too, Barry! Have a good upcoming week, as well.

Beth

Thanks for your comment on my blog. I enjoyed the story too.

Have a good one!

Married for almost 25 years. Two sons...18 and 20. 4 dogs, a cat, and a goldfish named Walter. I have a good job that is sometimes pretty boring, at other times, quite crazy.

I guess it wouldn't hurt if I put some more information on my profile.

Ask questions. I'll let you know what I'm comfortable with answering. Right now, you pretty much know as much about me as everyone else on golo.

Thanks for being my golo friend. Go, Hokies!...even though you know I am a Wolfpack fan.

Yep, pretty busy...but life goes on.

Have a great week!

I think I'm going to take my anger out in a parking lot next time someone just looks at me wrong.. heehee ;)

Hey,I did enjoy the snow falling as I looked at it through the window and not venturing out in it.We got about to six to seven inches of snow also.You are right we dont know how to drive in snow in this area because we never get this much snow around here lol.Hope you have had a great day and wishing you a blessed night.

"I did like your blog."

LOL, I have no idea which one, but thanks! I respect your opinion.

Don't work too hard, okay? Be cool, stay in school. *wink*

Hi Barry. I'm not on as much as I once was, but I will make an appearance now and then. I hope you have been doing well. Thank you for dropping by, and I wish you a good evening.

barry, I am not very deep. But I do think about stuff. Thanks for being my buddy.

hi there I hope that you have a great week as well!

Hey Barry, I'm glad you stopped by. I'm glad you like the latest profile pic. It isn't one of my dogs but I found it on the internet & I thought it was precious. Hope you're doing well & I hope you have a super week!

Hey there Barry! I am doing fine in my neck of the woods. I am organizing my home for a change. Cleaning out drawers, organizing papers, throwing out alot of junk! Hope things are well with you!

thanks Barry, we really need to meet, maybe the event for whoever down your way. Like I told you, I think alot, just not very deep. Actually, I think that might be better!

Hey,just read your comment on my Flag blog.Thank you for your comment.Hope you had a nice weekend.For the last couple of days or so I haven't been on here much either just been so busy.I always like hearing from you.You are the nicest friend any one could have.Thank you for being mine.Wishing you a blessed week.God bless you.

B, I am all over the place. I have ten more thoughts for blogs on this notepad. I'm sure I bore people a lot , but I hate to be predictable. My interests are wide ranging (but mostly only an inch deep!), but I have never been accused of being interesting! But I have been accused of being fun. I'm gonna try to be at Mr Lees Feb 7, so I hope we can meet. J

Hey Barry, doing pretty good..still have a job..that's a plus!! One day at a time..that's all we can do. I just get very sad with all of sicko's out there hurting children. Just makes me ill to read it. Daughter and I went to Atlantic Beach..had a great time..went to Aquarium. Really enjoyed it. Hope things are going great for you!!

Thank you for your nice comment.You are being to kind though.Wishing you a blessed night my friend.

Thank you,I don't know how my words would or could influence other people,but that is the nicest thing that any one has ever said to me,thank you so much.I did not get to see Yow funeral I hate that I missed it just been so busy an forgotten it to be honest.Do you remember the name of the song they where doing that made you think of me ? You are the sweetiest,kindest person there is here on golo.Wishing you a blessed weekend.God bless you my friend.

Hi Barry! Yes, those jokes are just hilarious, as are those videos. I hope you have a good weekend. Not much going on in my neck of the woods, but hope you have a great one! :-)

Beth

Thank you. ((((((Hugs)))))

yes, I do enjoy the Fwds. How odd -- I was emailing Patsy about Kay's funeral . I watched it , too. Had the pleasure of being in BSF with her . She was just an awesome lady. I only pray I can encourage others - as she did. So amazing that the songs she had sung are the very same ones that I've told my kids I want at my passing. Have a blessed weekend. :>

how have ya been stranger

come see me sometime! I'm going to post my regular schedule when I get it... that should be Wednesday. I'll make sure that I have an "accident" if you do. :)

:) Thank you muchly!

Hi Barry!! Just popping in to say hello. BTW: Jack (Jackadoo) did the nicest blog about YOU. I hope you see it. Jacks a great guy and of course, so are you! :-)

Beth

dude, you earned it. I have two ex's as well. I think that just means were old! That's my excuse anyway, I sticking with a dog for now.

Barry, thank you so much for the handshake. I look forward to talking to you soon. Have a wonderful evening. :) {{{HUGS}}}

Hey stranger, not heard from you lately. I've been away myself quite a bit too. I hope you're doing good, I've missed you...in spite of not wanting too!! **smile**

I'm pulling for the Cardinals, and Kurt Warner. I'd love to see that 42yo QB win the big prize!! I love a good story and he has one. Don't think they're gonna pull it out tonight, but what a ride..they got to go to the big show!!

Just stopping in to Show you send you some friendly Hello's

Hello

Hey,hope you had a good weekend and Monday.Just wanted to stop in and say hello and wish you a blessed night.

$200 in 2 days! (only about $50 was from yesterday) I likes being a bar tender!

Pandora R kewl! *smile*

Listening to Lennon 'Imagine.' *sigh*

barry, pandora is cool, already just booked marked it. Seems user friendly too (it has to be for me to use)

Barry, thank you so much for the encouraging words. I hope it will. I was really only disheartened for a little while - I guess I had put so much hope into it that seeing it dashed was a bit unsettling. The manuscripts are out to other publishers, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :) Have a great evening. {{{HUGS}}}

thanks you! :)

Hey,thank you for guiding me to pandroa I love it.i have to agree with Beth, Jackadoo done a great blog on you.Are you looking forward to the snow ?

I dun whut I sed I wuz gonna twodae. Woohoo!

But... can you believe they have NEVER had a volunteer on campus? They don't know what to do, and have to come up with a 'policy.' *sigh*

May I impose on you to review my tutoring resume before I get it to them?

any chance you can make it to the fence thang, even just to eat? We let the young bucks do the work.
