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.

Hokie, if you check out GOLO home page or go to Angela (the golo editor) profile they both have blogs about Golo having a get togeather tommorrow at Starbucks on Six Forks Rd in Raleigh. I believe between 12 and 2pm. I hope you can make it, if not hopefully next time. Take care my friend. Sorry so late responding today is Hubby and my anniversary so we went out to dinner and by the time we got back and got the kids baths and put to bed my evening is gone...LOL. Be blessed my friend.

Hey,glad to hear you are better some what.Still praying for you. Thank you for wanting to elect me.That is so nice and sweet of you. God bless you.

Have a safe and happy 4th!

Hi Barry! How are you? Enjoying the summer in beautiful SP? I'm okay - still not online a lot, busy~busy~busy working and trying to get settled. Take care!

Good Morning !!

thanks =) did you have a good 4th ? mine was so so, celebrated my 16th wedding anniversary on the 3rd, it was okay, hubby wasnt feeling well and i was wore out from the kids,lol

Hi Barry, I bet you skim over my messages then! LOL Sometimes it might be spelling or quick typing no time to proof. :p My fourth was nice. We went to a friends and cooked out then went to the baseball game here in town. It started pouring around the 8th inning. We stuck it out and our team won! Then fireworks afterwards. Saturday was chore day around the house. Sunday watched tennis and went swimming. That was about it... How about you?

Hey Doll, sooooo glad you got to play today, is this your first day back since you hurt your back ? It'll all come back to you in no time...I have faith in you.

Stella

*smile*

Can't wait for school to start .. thinking of tutoring at JCC. Got any contacts there? WCC had a great program I helped in - hopefully JCC has a smilar one ..

Check with you later with results of inquiries there. Enjoy July!

What do i like to do sense i retired ? Tell you the truth i had reather be at work lol i miss it.I had to retire early because of my health,I had cancer from the grace of God after treatments i was healed but other complications set in with my breathing from radeation.I'm doing great.I like my computer of course,i like helping others and being with other people.Love to crocehey,read,and take care of my family.I help out in my church when i can.Guess that is about it.Take care.

Hello Gorgeous...so glad to hear from you. Yes I guess we women do have the upper hand at times..but you love it, don't you ?? Missed you lately, what'cha been up to ??

Oh, by the way...my weekend sucked...you weren't here...

Refresh my aging memory, what email was that ?? You've got another one too...You got to keep up sugar !!

Hope you had a great weekend, have a happy monday morning!

It's Teriffic Tuesday! I hope you have a teriffic one.

Long time, no talk! Hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Good Afternoon,hope you have had a good Tuesday.

Hey there friend, Has been a while since I have seen you about. I hope you have been doing well. I have been 'shined' that is something another golo person came up with because when I was going through a business buyout....... I would be up at all weird hours of the night writing people.... The term being 'shined' stuck because everyone has those sleepless nights. I have been through the third one this week. Oh well

We have another saying that is "HEY - HEY" That is something you say when you can't curse or say anything else or something you say when you just don't know what else to say.

Have a great day friend.

Hi Barry, hope all is going well with you? And how is life in SP?

Hey Hokie, Just have schedule twisted up...... got to work on it....... I go thru this every 3 or 4 months. That is where getting 'shined' came from. There are 4 or 5 of my close golo friends that get 'shined' from time to time and that is the way that we explain it. If things work out you may see some "Shined" and "Hey - Hey " or "Well - Well" T - shirts and sweatshirts, caps, coffe mugs, etc..... available. I sold my manufacturing plant ----- in Feb. - I need something to do or try.

One thing about a shirt or cap --- not much warranty, no owners manual, no general liability, no products liability, no workman's comp., ...... you understand I am sure.

Good morning Hope you have a great thursday, just one more day to the weekend! Yeaaaaaaa lol

Hava a great weekend, Hokie!

Forgotten about Barry??? Never. I just can't seem to get settled. How about if I send you an email?

Darlin' I know exactly what you meant..! Sweet man, have a good weekend...Oh I got your email...too funny as usual..Later on

Stella

Thank you that is so kind of you.Every thing will work out for the best.Keeping my faith and trust in the lord i belive in him.. Hope you are having a nice day.God bless you

Thanks for the great words I think I will take you up on you thoughts.

Thank you sir! You have a wonderful week as well

Hi Barry, how are you doing? Hope you had a great weekend and are staying cool! It is hot and more hot! :p

Good Afternoon, hope you are having a nice day.Stay cool inside if you can we have a heat warning.

Ive been doing good. How have you been? I hope you have a great week as well :)

Hi Barry!! Great to hear from you. Sounds like you've been enjoying your Summer. :-)

I'm enjoying great health, don't know about the success part. Then again, if you call being able to get up and go to work each morning, success, then I'm successful, in that respect! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! As far as wealth goes, well, I play the lottery. I should know better! Hee hee!

I hope you have a great rest of the week. You sound like you've already started out the right way - playing golf! Don't be a stranger - I hope to "see you" around here more often.

:-)

Beth

Thanks, Hokie, great to hear from you. Of course I agree about #4, but I'm not holding my breath. Hope you're having a good day and staying cool.

Better whatch it out here in this heat when you start getting weak is not a good sign.Hope you enjoyed your golf game today.Alot of people play golf i have friends that do but me just could never get in to it lol.Give me base ball i love that.Hope you have a very good evenning.

Hey, Barry! Things have been a little crazy between the new job and the daughter with the "practice" contractions,(grandson due within the next couple of weeks) but all is well! Hope you have a great weekend!

Hey sweetie! How have you been? I have been so busy, I haven't had the chance to Golo much lately. Thanks for checking in, and take care of yourself. As always be blessed my friend!

Hey Darlin'...Hope you've had a good day...Staying cool too ! This is beach weather...Think I'll go this weekend...You have a lovely evening...Stella

Hi Barry! I've been doing well, but my life isn't near as full or exciting as yours. :-) I've just been working and that's about it. Hope you have a great rest of the week.

Beth

"This is a great piece of information for all ages of learners."

Coming from you, I'm very humbled.. thank you!

Good Morning, Barry. Hope you have a wonderful day.

I tried to contact you one day this week, I guess that explains it !! You have a wonderful weekend darlin'...TTYL...

Stella

Hi Barry! Yes, I enjoy the stuff that you send me and finally caught up last night - I've had the computer apart for a couple of days moving it to a different location in a room.

Hope you are well and planning a fun weekend!

Hi Hokie- I am an independent, usually vote conservative but have crossed for the right candidate. I think they both are bad, but I believe that about Obama so I will swallow my very intense dislike of McCain and vote for him. I sure hope we get better choices in the future.

TTYL means talk to you later !! I'm back from Emerald Isle...we just got in. Got your emails, hilarious as ususal my friend...Is your phone back on ? Would love to talk to you soon...Have a great sunday afternoon darlin'...Stella

Good Evenning,thank you for stoping by glad that you did.I have had a good Sunday hope you have as well. So you liked the post on my profile so did I.Thought it was funny bcause i could see myself doing the same thing.Take care.

hey bud...58 (july 10) is ancient, but I feel young. Having a ruff time with the gf right now, so I may not do much golo for a bit.

Hey Hokie, Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday - I am going over to the company where my new job is although I be an independant rep for them - . I think it is going to be fun and interesting.

Hope you are doing well - sounded like it - sipping a few, hitting golf balls, grilling some beef........ Take care my friend - and I will be around this afternoon later if you are.......

Shine.

Hello gorgeous ! The beach was wonderful, wish you had been there !! I'm trying to stay cool...these folks who work out in it...I do feel for them....

I'm off wed and thurs...need a couple days to recoup !! You be good...hope to talk to you soon.....Stella

Hey Hokie! I've been gone for quite awhile, just wanted to pop in and say, "hello". Hope you are enjoying these beautiful summer days.

Hey Barry, how is it going with you? Back from Myrtle beach but headed to Wilmington for the day on Thursday. It is so hot..I can't even get out and enjoy tennis. My other half is talking golf lessons... *roll eyes* our front yard looks like it hailed! Hope you are having a super week. Kay

Thanks for the Happy Birthday wishes my friend!!!
