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.

Where did you visit when you went to Texas?

"I loved your comment about the beans. I remember it when I was growing up in Stokes County." Sorry Brain shut down what did I say about beans? LOL

Oh I love that saying. I remember it ever since I was young. That was a longggggggggggg time ago. I saw you talking to TX baby. I'm from there too. Want my list of what is better there? LOL I can give you fun places to see too! :)

Hey Hokie! What a beautiful day we are having : ) I certainly hope you had a chance to go outside and enjoy it!

Me athlete? Not really, I just try real hard. I play with heart more than might. lol! I am passionate about volleyball. I play every chance I get. My youngest daughter is on her High School's volleyball team, and I practice with her constantly.

BTW click on that "Let's be friends" at the top of your profile page. You may find some people asking you to be friends.

we are doing good ! glad it was nice today, the kids got to go out and play in the sandbox for awhile ! How are things on your end ?

Tomorrow is gonna be great, we are going on a road trip to greenboro/winston salem to look at furniture, go to the science museum ( sp ? ) and take some photos of old salem and I cant wait ! have a great weekend and we always camp 2 times at myrtle, the kids love it !

BTW = By the way

I didn't know if you knew how to use the friends button. Just trying to help.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm my all time favorite place to eat is probably Pappasitos. But you won't find one around here. The closest is in Atlanta. The others are in TX. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm You should try the other places I have listed if you haven't. The Cheesecake Factory's food is mediocre at best but of course you go for the cheesecake. :) How is your day going so far? I have no idea what I should call you? Doc? :p

Yes, I live in Goldsboro, My kids go to Norwayne_ Myself as well as them Love it! Great School..

I can't really say I was in town to much this weekend. I know a lot of people go to the Sheraton/convention center for education meetings. I have been to the club there but that is about it. The bone fish grill is right next to it and really good. How was your weekend?

Doing well, Hokie....how about you?

Sounds like a great way to relax and unwind from a busy week. Hope your day is going well!

if kay/nana is your friend, you are a friend of mine. jackster

I appreciate the friend invite; hope you are having a great evening!

"if kay/nana is your friend, you are a friend of mine. jackster" lol awwwwwwwwwwww I wish I was real busy I like keeping busy. I get tired of myself if I'm not! LOLOL

sigh, found out how much it costs for old salem and had to skip but I will go back =)

awesome here, the weather is so beautiful, went on my first photo gig today, was fun. Doing some more fun stuff tomorrow.

I havent been to ruth chris steak house, I heard it was pricey for okay food, hows it been where you are

Yes, you are absolutely right! I'm already working on that now : )

Hi Barry, you did not offend me at all. I'm just slow some times at replying. LOL Some of my friends that know me well just like to give me a hard time... I'm an open book pretty much. Well I was gonna say I was a stripper and see what kind of reaction I got but the truth is I'm just a housewife. LOL Dam good at it too. I worked up until we moved to NC and I really didn't want to move here. All my family and friends are back home in TX. So part of the deal was I wouldn't have to work. :P So here I am. I help out at the shelter and foster and rescue here on occassions. Anyway, I keep busy with one thing or another. So you are a golfer? All I can manage is miniature. heehee

Hello, Dr.Berry, Thanks for asking, No..Thank God, we recieved high winds, hail and much needed rain..A tornado actually touched down mid-way our subdivision, our neighborhood, recieved little damage, but about 1/2 mile, or, so, an 18 wheeler, was on its side, many trees down and in the area of Pikeville..some homes were damaged..For the most part, We all were Blessed..Annette Lawrence

I'm pretty clueless about golf. LOL I'm more into Nascar and tennis. Hope you had a good weekend. It hailed here today and poured down!

Thanks for the comment on my page. Hope your evening is going good so far :)

Honestly I dont vote. I really dont follow these election things. Im not even sure about who I would want to run this country. Glad your evening is going good though. I'm stuck at work until 8.

Thanks for stopping by. I went to Valle Cruis for a weekend getaway in Sept. LOVED it...ate at the Daniel Boone Inn. Love em!!! I am proud of all of them! Love Angus Barn...ymmmm...just went by there yesterday...I want some of those crackrs and the chocolate chess pie... :)

Ok please go into the stucture detail. LOL Sounds intersesting.... Is it like when my friend rolled down the hill at Martinsville? LOLOL

LOL, Im not a lady. I just like the pic of the lady with the car. If you click on my images there are a few pic of me as a man.

but thanks for the kind words about my profile. LOL

Oh by the way, that was all just cut and paste. LOL

I can't write.

Thanks. I found that on another website. Hope you have a good evening!

Thanks! Hope you have a great week also!!!

My first screen name got "promoted" off, so I had to come up with a new one. A friend helped me come up with the name.

It wasn't the name that was objectionable; it was a comment I made. The story had to do with c ock fighting. One blogger who shall remain nameless always made comments to the effect that things happened due to disrespect. My comment was "I'm sure when the cops investigate they will find that the (male chickens) disrespected their owners." Booted off instantly.

You too!!

Thank you for stopping by my profile and becoming my friend. I have lived here around 12 years now. Would never consider going back to DC where I from. So Carolinans got to accept me now, cause I'm lovin it here. Have a blessed day!

Thanks for your kind words..I guess I am a hopeful person that wishes America could go back about 40 years and stay that way...

Hey! Thanks for the comment. How long was I in education? Oh, let's see...other than my own long, drawn-out education, must be 5 years- 2 in music and 3 in early childhood. Have a great day!

It is a beautiful Thursday afternoon, and I played hookie from work! Hope you enjoyed yours : )

Oh BTW, still working on that tan ; )

Hey, Hokie...Hope you have a great weekend. :P

Hi, Hokie! So far, the weekend is going well. My daughter's pregnancy is going great....less than 4 months to go :)

Howdy! Just touching base with my buddies -- I sure do miss Golo. I wish I could get on here and have more fun, but the best fun is during the day. Unfortunately, my new job isn't really conducive to me getting on Golo and playing. :(

Hope you're doing well!

We usually go down to nags head and fish off the piers or we just stay home and go to the river. Honestly I haven't thought any more about voting.....

good crazy, or bad crazy, maybe just a little insane?

as my dad says, wayne county is the wierdest county ever! lol (thats if your not from here, and if you live here then you are just used to it! :) ) Yes wilbers is good i used to work next door to there at the tastey shoppe when i was 15. jack is very funny! i like his sense of humor!

Glad you stopped by my profile! After reading your profile, I think we share many of the same values and ideals! Nice to e-meet you!

Hey Hokie... I don't remember that - but thanks - don't recognize ma ma 81...... anyway I hope you have been doing well there - I haven't been around much ... maybe somemore closer toward the weekend - then we can't comment on anything except blogs - makes no sense.

Thank you for the comment on my profile regarding the story on my mother...it's nice to see some compassion.

Mornin' Hokie! It's been a while...have had little to no internet access this past week or so. Free time is something I haven't seen much of lately. Getting ready to start a new job next week. My husband was down these past two weeks to celebrate my birthday and my daughter's. He's back in Montreal now...the weather is finally warming up there. We had about 6 feet of unmelted snow in our backyard; you can finally see the grass :)

Yes, I wrote the poem. I am so glad you liked it!

I left work early on Wed. & Thur., so YES! I have enjoyed this wonderful weather : ) Hope you've done the same.

Hey, I didn't forget about you I promise! How are things your way? Oh my comments... I know I have some strange friends. Do you ever make it down this way?
