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.

Haven't heard from you awhile. Hope all is well.

Barry, Wow, ty so much. That was so kind of you. I'm sure your Hokies will be just fine :)...After what Duke has been through, lol, winning 1 game in 2 years was pretty sad, so you know how excited we are. Again, thank you it says alot about ""YOU""...Are you originally from Virginia? I was born in Portsmouth, at the old NAS hospital there. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, are you doing anything special?...Karen

LOL, Very boring evening ...probably just watch TV..I sure am glad I got my fun times outta the way while I was younger cuz it ain't happening these days...my husband has turned into such a homebody, oh well, Kewl that you could have met Archie Bell...I'm thinking I may have stayed for that :)

Hi Barry ~~~ good to hear from you. MB is a lot different from CB ... our bars are a trip! Sure, you come down any time and we'll have a cup of coffee. Take care!

Hi Barry :) Made the call.....Am waiting to hear something...We can keep this on the QT so the goloers don't or can't have a hay day......I will keep you abreast, Karen

Hey,thouht i would stop by and say hello.Hope you are having a nice day.It is raining here but we need it.Wishing you a blessed evening.

Hey,sorry youu had to have something burned off.Sure you looked fine just the way you where.It is not what is on the outside that makes your looks it is what is on the inside.Wishing you a blessed evening and a good week.

Thanks Barry....

I wanted you to be something, hadn't thought about 900!! I'm a mess, I know!! How you doing sugar? It's fell a flood here today....I've dodged raindrops all afternoon. Too wet to sink some ballz I bet...

Hi Barry. I hope you have had a good day. I've enjoyed the rain. It was a very good day to read a book. Have a nice evening, my friend.

Back when Bosnia was going on,the military who deployed to that area were only allowed a magazine with five bullets.Their muzzle was taped while on patrol. If some one sniped at them they had to radio in and ask permission to return fire.Not only that but when that administration took office,they would not allow military people stationed there at the pentagon. To wear their uniforms.They were to "scary" Dee Dee Myers said that. Also look at Somalia, Had they been equipped and sent there with the what they needed a few more people would not have died needlessly. Since I still in January will have two sons in I would rather not live through that again.

LOL!! Don't sweat it baby, Al Pacino is HOTT !! (4 his age) Can I see your scar ?? (evil grin)

Where're you going, just begining to get interesting..

Thanks for the friend request.My one son was wounded June 22 in Afghanistan.It was his arm and he has had three surgries so far. He will have another one on the 23rd. Hopefully he will regain all mobility of his arm. Our other son deploys from Alaska soon to another war zone. Dh is puitting his retiring on 1 January. When the one son comes back from the warnext year. I will take down all three yellow ribbons off my porch posts.Not till all three are home safe. They have been up going on two years now.

Sorry I am tired,So many errors!!! Dh is retiring in January.He has served 25 plus years. When John our son, Comes back next year from the war I will then take down all three yellow ribbons. Which I placed on the posts in April of 07.

I know you better than that dollbaby, you do just fine.

What'cha got going on tomorrow? Anything you can talk about ??

Hey,hope you are having a good day.Thank you for your comment.I love ever body.Try to treat others as i would like to be treated.You can find bad in every body but if you look hard enough you can find the good in them.

I spoke to a det friend of mine who helped with the scene of the accident, he said it was awful. Such a tragedy for those families involved. Both from the same high school...Folks in Princeton have been hit hard lately. Concerned about your Dr's appointment tomorrow, hope it goes well and they find nothing wrong. Will you let me know? You take care of your sweet self. Have a good afternoon baby....

You just remember sugar, I'm the real deal. You can always count on me Barry. Have a wonderful weekend darlin'....

Hey Barry, Hope Your Having a Wonderful Weekend :)

CONGRATS ON YOUR HOKIES :)

Hello Barry! Hope everything is good in your neighborhood. Have a most delightful evening, dear!

Thanks... It was a spectacular game! Congrats to you too.

Barry, Thanks for checking in. I'm great. Spent the weekend with my best friend from Martinsville. I'm sure you know where that is since you went to Tech. Hope you have a super week!!! GO HOKIES GO!

Barry...sheet, your boys beat up my boys last weekend, just barely, and we had you down. Anyhow, let's chat more often. Jack

Good Morning,just that i would stop in and wish you a good day.

Hi Barry!! Thank you for the birthday wishes. Have a wonderful day!

I saw your post in the always hope group. Hello!

Barry, Thanks...:0..

Hey Barry,I have had a good weekend hope you have as well.Wishing you a good week ahead.

Barry, Congrats on those Hokies! Awesome boys! Yep, I love football & I love TECH! I'm from Martinsville originally (you know where that is, right?). Have a great week!

Barry, always good to hear from you. You know YKJohn is from Moore County, and he did a blog today about their first snow in Alaska. I told him it was in the 80's back home. Take care, don't be a stranger, jack.

Hey, Hokie! Have not been on too much in the last few months....my grandson arrived August 11th and between work and my new grandma duties, I've not spent much time online. Two of the other grandchildren are celebrating birthdays this week...don't know where the time goes :) Hope all is well with you and your family and that you have had a wonderful summer.

Hey Dollbaby !! You won't find anybody that loves chocolate as much as I do!! This is my answer to a 12 step plan to deal with people like me, never let them get more than 12 steps away from chocolate in any form ! It's all in fun....and I do like the attention, from a select few...

Yes milk counts, goes really really good with chocolate !!

I'd rather talk to you, but you won't cooperate !! LOL!! I'm teasing you sugar. He's a hottie, but he's too young. You got any cookies and milk left for me...I've not had dinner

You sweet man you...I'll be right over to get mine...! Look baby, I'm going off GOLO for a while after tonight...you can, as always get me by email, and please do...I just need a break, really bad. You're one of my favorite people, but you already now that...you still have my email addy, use it !

Hi Barry! I hope your morning is going well. Ours is pretty nice...about 20 degrees and a little snow on the ground. It is easing into winter here. It is nice to make your aquaintence. My mother, who still lives out by Carthage, was a teacher. She taught at Elise in Robbins. If you ever find yourself heading off to the northwest and get near here, by all means let me know. I spend about a third of my year out in the bush, but I am off work during the winters. I could possibly help make your visit more enjoyable though, I know alot of people and places that do not get visited by the average tourist. Again, I hope your morning is going well, and send best wishes.

Hey, here is an interesting link. It is our newspaper. They have an arctic cam that views downtown Fairbanks. They also have some pretty neat articles. Enjoy.

http://newsminer.com/arcticcam/

Hey there! Saw you post on the MS Sucks group and would like to invite you to join us! We would love to have you!

Thanks so much for thinking of me. I've been so busy with work, and I'm taking some computer classes at the local community college. I don't have time to post anymore. Also, I've just kind of lost interest in golo.

What a beautiful day we are having today. I've taken the day off to rest and I am certainly enjoying it! Hope you are as well.

Thanks again, Hokie : )

Hey,good to hear from you.How have you been ? Me and my family are doing good now had a rough time there for a while,hope all of that is behind us for now.Hope you have enjoyed this weekend it has been a beautiful one.

Hey you, just got home from work. Been a long week darlin'....I'm really tired. I'm off tomorrow, hope to hear from you then. I trust you've had a great weekend, played a little golf, had a great dinner somewhere...relaxed...enjoyed time with friends...

Good Morning,hope you ae having a great Monday.Hope you had a good weekend and it is aways nice to hear from nice people like you.God bless you.

Hi Barry. Glad you stopped by for a hello. I will be so glad when the elections are over. I imagine this place to be virtual ghost town. Have no clue what the haters will talk about here then. Hope you are having a great week. I am looking forward to the weekend and my "me" time. The boys are headed to daddy's house.

The bid "D" for almost 2 years now.

Hi Barry! Thang? My goodness ....

Of course I enjoy your jokes. No, I'm not a Democrat, nor a Republican ... just an aging ol' hippie gal who took part in protesting against the government long ago ... now, that should give you a clue ... I'm a registered Independent.

Barry, Golo is no exception to the mean people rule but there are also some very wonderful people here. I don't respond to those who post on my profile like I should, or want to, but once I go online - even if just to speak to someone - I'm on here for quite awhile and then wonder where my time went - why I didn't get my other stuff done. Maybe others are that way too.

Good to hear from you!

And, thank you, my friend.

Hey sugar, I'm doing just fine, hope you are...Been a long day at the office. We had a homicide first thing this morning, finished the day with a bulldozer rollover on a CSX worker, killing him. Had alot of sad stuff in the middle, not a good day...some days I wonder why I do this job...sorry love, didn't mean to dump on you tonight...I really have a big smile for you and a hug of course....

I've missed you, you still up...
