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.

Thank you for my Birthday wishes.

Hi Barry, good to hear from you! I'm fine - hope you are? What business? I'm no longer associated. Friends are coming for the weekend and I'm happy about seeing them. Hope you have a great weekend, Barry!

Hey,with this cooler weather I couldn't feel better.Sill warm out but not as hot as it has been.Hope your day has been a good one.Wishing you a blessed weekend.Take care.

Barry, the "household" is improving...thanks for asking.

Hey there. Thanks for wishing me a good weekend; unfortunately, it didn't really take! I am getting over the worst virus/bug or WHATEVER it was (felt like food poisoning). I thought surely I would die... Anyway, hope yours was better. :-) Looking forward to the upcoming college football season. Surely VT is favored in the ACC.

Hello Gorgeous. I've had a great day in spite of my air being out. I've survived. How's your Monday been ? Got in some good swings this morning I hope. Take care darlin, have a great evening...

Even I think Marilyn was hot !

Hey,been cleaning house huh ? hope you didn't sweep me out.How have you been ? Hope your days have been good ones.

Hey darlin....I got both your posts, and I must admit...you lost me ? What am I responding to?...I got all your emails ?? Email me and let me know...Maybe I've been at work too long today...My brain feels like oatmeal !! LYMI...Stella

I just sent you another email....

Good Morning,sorry you have hurt your back that sure isn't good know you must be in pain.Will be praying that your back gets better soon and the pain will go away.God can do all things and he can heal you will be praying for this.Wishing you a very good day and a blessed weekend.Take care of your back and take it easy for the next few days with no lifting and give it a chace to heal.God bless you.Keeping you in prayer.

Thank you very much for the Happy Birthday Greeting.

I think this is the year I’m going to begin getting a year younger with each passing Birthday.

Hope you have a SUPER day and weekend as well.

JOO

Hey,Just thinking about you and come by to say hellow.How is your back today ? Sure hope it is better and that you are not down with it.

You are feeling better becauseof the shot and pain meds. Take it easy and no lifting this weekend or anytime untill back is in full recovery.Will be keeping you in my prayers.Wishing you a blessed weekend.

Hi Barry! Thank you so much for the nice compliment! That made my day. Hope you've been doing well. The weekend is about over, but no need for me to be negative! The weekend is still, technically speaking, here! LOL! :-)

I've just relaxed this weekend, which is what I usually do. How about you? Do anything exciting? Have a good week and thanks again for your comment.

Beth

You've had a rough last three days! I'm sorry to hear about all that - especially having to cancel that date!!! LOL! Take it easy this week. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Beth

Hey Hoke - sorry about your back but I know exactly what you are going through. Stay off of it and elevate the legs.... works for me..... Mine only bothers me if I get really exhausted. The job: Man I have got it going on. I am having fun !!! I have my own company and rep. two entirely different companies. One I am not so familar with but I have had great sucess for just starting. The other I am very familar with - I actually manufactured the product as a sub - when I had my other company. Not hard to sell.... I know the logistics of it pretty well..... Still waiting on business cards for both companies but I have been making calls anyway..... It's going to be good. Just the fact that I don't have all of the overhead like I did for 25 years is relaxing enough.

Hey darlin', this has been one more busy weekend for me. Trying to play catch up now a little. How's the back ? I hope it's better, so sorry to hear you injured it again...Icing it and heat again ?? yeah that will help some. You better take of yourself, if I need to get you a private duty nurse, just let me know. I'll find you one.!!LOL! Seriously honey I hope you feel much better this week...You've got golf balls to hit !! Be sweet...TTYL

Stella

Hey Hokie, It is not gonna be as fast as winning the lottery but I think there is great potential here and it is something I enjoy doing. You get to meet new people everyday while checking on the relationships you have already cultivated. The repeat business is where it is at - not trying to get it all the first time around. The fellow that owns the promo, apparel company told me that was his philosophy. I was glad to hear it because it has always been mine.

Hello gorgeous...I'm doing just fine. I hope you are. I've missed you too. Been busy with work and other nasty things !! How're you doing, enjoying these cooler temps I hope...How's the back ? and yes I love the jokes, you know I do....I have a few I'm gonna send your way....soon. You be good darlin...TTYL

Stella

that's for you silly...

Hello. Im doing well, hope you are. This weekend was full of yard work...:) Wishing you a wonderful week..

notice how she has been strangely silent in the last 6 to 8 weeks leading up to the convention. wonder why?

Hello Barry, thanks for the emails. You make me laugh, and today I needed it....Take care darlin, have a great rest of the week

Good Evening,hope all is going well with you and that your week has been a good one.Now that the weekend is coming up do you have any special plans? As for me this wek has been great God has really blessed me by bringing my daughter back home to me.Wishing you a very blessed evening.

I guess it didn't help much for you to pull for my Wolfpack, but everybody is a Hokie! Have a great weekend.

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!!!!

How very true these words are. Thank you!

Hey there Hokie !!! I haven't talked to you in a month of Sundays it seems. I hope you are doing well. How is that shoulder? I am doing nothing but taking in a beverage or two and digesting the air conditioning. Not much going on here. It was 73 this morning and muggy early on. It is showing 82 just got back from town and it is sticky outside here. I have had some computer concerns the last couple of days and sometimes I send things that don't get there and sometimes they get there twice... I have another one that I have got to work on this weekend. I had such a problem with it last week - I decided to procrastinate a few days instead of making it the enemy...... Shine is laughing. Sometimes it is better to walk away for a few days than to keep trying.

I will get on it sometime this weekend unless the procrastination takes over !!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend friend, and I will be around if I can keep this 'time bomb' I am typing on ticking !!

Take care!

Sorry. :(

Good Afternoon,just came by to say hellow.Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Hello Gorgeous! so glad to hear from you. Hope your weekend has been a great one...My week has been, well a week. Glad to be going back to work !! You be good...I've missed you.

Good evening,hope your day has been a good one.We are going to have a family cook out tomorrow afternoon.Do you have any thing special planed?

Hi Barry! Good to hear from you. Hope all is well, including your back? Take care and have a great Labor Day!

Sorry for the late post...I agree Van Morrison is great and still doing some of his best work...but he so ugly now!

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I really appreciate it :)

Good afternoon Barry. We've battened down the hatches as best we could. I've got plenty of food and new batteries in case of a power outage. I certainly hope it doesn't come to that. You and your family stay safe. It's good to hear from you.

BTW...your choice of music above, suits me to a T!

We are battled down hope you are.Yes hubby came home this morning having a little discomfort but doing good.Take care in this weather.Thank you for your comments.You are a very nice person.

Hello Gorgeous, yes my hatches are battened down, buttoned up and ready for Hanna! You stay dry and be safe, ya hear ? Can't have anything happening to you. Have a great weekend sugar...

Stella

Barry, thanks for your support...we will survive.

Shoot I was driving around in Chapel Hill about an hour ago then came back to GSO. It was just lightly raining the whole time... Mom always told me fools and ducks get out in this weather... Hmmmmmm.... :D

Hey there Hokie, I have been up a while - went to sleep too early. Just checking the weather and planning on taking it easy today (Sat.) until the 'push' gets out of here. Take it easy friend.

Just saying bye, shuge... {{{ hug }}}

Take care.

Sounds like a full afternoon for you darlin, need any help ?? huuuummmm?? I'm pretty good with ice.

;)

Hi Barry! Thanks for the birthday post! It was a nice, quiet day and I rested in peace. Hey, isn't that what one is supposed to do when one turns 40?

Have a great Monday!

Hi Barry, Thanks for the friend request...I have visited the resturants you mentioned. I think there is probably something for everyone. When we have alot of company it's fun to take them to K&S Cafeteria. Affordable and definetly something for everyone...:) Have a great evening. BTW, Juli is a sweet gal..

Hey sugar, thanks for the emails, I'm putting them to go use. The Sherrif will be just fine, he has alot more support than critics. Thanks for the good wishes.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having trouble with that elbow, hope the shots work for you. A weekend in N MB sounds like just what you need. You relax, have a few laughs and come back at full tilt ! Email me and let me know when you're home. Have a great weekend sugar, Take care Barry

Stella

Thank you,hope you have a good one also.

Hey Doll, still planning the weekend in N MB? Hope you enjoy it. You have a great time and sip a cold one for me ! Take care of that elbow.

Stella
