By the way, that is a stunning picture of you!!!!!

Hi Sandra. I was wondering if Blog of Hope is available to help out Ernie. I'm not sure what all they'll be needing. I left him a not to email me and I hope he does so we can help him and his family at this time. Your thoughts?

Hi Sandra!

Thanks. I had a great 4th. I took the week after off for a much needed rest. I'm refreshed and happy to have a job to come back to. I spent some time editing some short stories just for the fun of it!

{{{{Sandra}}}}.....I am with Ginger on the aid to Ernie....keep me posted if needs arise, clothes, furniture, etc.....

Hey Woman! Well, if you live off Buffalo, you can't be all that far from me. The eyes are doing better, and I'm making it back from missing the days from work, so that's good. Yep, that was a good old stereo. It's 18 years old, and not a thing wrong with it, can you believe it? But I got tired of having entertainment that is also room-gobbling furniture. I gave away my TV too. Sorry I haven't been online much lately, the library was closed for the 4th, and also closes at 5 on Fridays now, so it doesn't work out with my work schedule sometimes. Talk soon

oh , yes -- if there's anyway to help Ernie -- let me know , too. He's a really nice guy & I know he's in pain over the loss of his furbabies. Can't imagine if I ever lost my Tigger. Have a bless evening .

Sandra, you would look great with a Beehive.LOL.

Sandra: Please see recent post. If I may assist in any way, my office e-mail is CarolynSCarroll@Allstate.com. I will stay in contact with Ernie. Bless you for your caring heart!

Love your new pic! :)

Sandra: Check your mail!

YGM

Hi Sandra! Please keep me in the loop with Ernie. I'm willing to ride along for a clean-up or contribute to a fund...whatever. Thanks, Kim

Hey Sandra! Thank you for your inquiry; know that all's well, I just need a few days away from crazyville lol......just taking care of things around the house and cleaning some mental cobwebs while doing so (this could take considerably longer than anything related to the house lol).....I hope all at your end stay well and happy, and I'm sure I'll be back clogging the airways before anyone's really ready LOL

Sandra, I am going to get something to you for Ernie by the end of the week. It's so kind of you to do!!

As a side, are you related to Bill(y)?? Carrington-Smith isn't something I hear too often!!

Remember when you read my cards for me around Easter time and you kept saying "I don't get it. I keep getting that you're going to change jobs but it has something to do with your job? I don't understand?" It happened..... http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5572425/ You said it would be a good move so I'm going with it. :)

So glad you got my email and called Ernie. I thought it would be best if the two of you talked instead of needing a third party.

Thank you!!! Ernie is really a great guy.

nuts, ain't it?

Now I need plastic surgery to look like that. :) Sandra Carrington-Smith

NO way, woman you are a natural beauty.

Glad all went off without a hitch, hope you've enjoyed your Tuesday.

y hubby has joined golo make him welcome please

http://www.wral.com/golo/profile/5547148/

No problem! We used to carry a larger supply of Brooks Brothers but we haven't been to the factory outlet in quite some time. The clothes are NEW but I will need to have them dry-cleaned first, I imagine. They've been in storage for a while. I do have some women's "dock" shoes if you give me his mom's shoe size.

Like I've said before on things like this, we don't have a lot to give monetarily but if I have it, I'll give it.

No one bit on my son's baby clothes and then they were blown away in a tornado. I wish I'd brought them to the Beacon in Benson...

Good Morning Sandra! Where is your morning blog?

Been busy and haven't been on lately, but when I do get a chance, there is no Sandra this morning.:0 Just wanted you to know I missed you. Hope you're having a great summer!

It's a small world! I went to high school with Bill. I put together monthly get togethers and have seen him a few times recently. I had a feeling you were related somehow! I hope you have a fabulous day Sandra!

Thanks Sandra, I will talk with Toni tonight and see what we can put together!!!

Sandra: Just spoke with Ernie. He is at the house now, getting some things out. Sounds a lot better this PM. I fussed at him for not using a mask so he is on his way to the CVS to buy some....told him he did not need that soot and junk from the fire dept in his lungs. "Yes...Momma"...was his come back! Said he is going in and taking one box at a time out. I will check with this on my way home and will advise in the AM. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are!

you hot

Sandra, I would like to send a check for Ernie could you please email me@ jdpagan@windstream.net and give the the info. not sure who to write it to and where to send it I know you posted info. yesterday, but can't remember the where and all. Thanks.joani

you are so welcome on the compliment. Keep looking as good as you do and talk to ya later.

I liked your blog on Success. I did not want to continually post my own stuff in your discussion, but you might want to read a blog I did about learning about success. http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4801378/ - Have a great day. You write so very well.

Sandra: I spoke with Ernie on my way home and he sounds a lot better. Even cracked a joke with me!!!! I will ask where he wants things sent and get back with you this PM. You are so very special for helping him and his family like this. I know God will richly bless you and you have my sincere gratitude.

Sandra: check your e-mail address for info on Ernie's address and other.

Howdy Sandra, Thanks for the welcome post

I have two shirts and two pairs of pants and a pair of Crocs for Ernie (all new). Let me know when and where.

No need to respond...just wish I could do more, maybe next time. btw, I used to spend that much on wine in a week...what a waste.

It was nice to see you again this afternoon!!!

Sandra, thank you for all that you're doing for Ernie!!! When you see him give a hug for me and tell him he and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers!!!

Sandra- You were great company. Always enjoy hanging out with you. We should have a regular weekly N. Raleigh GOLO lunch. Everyone's invited. And pick a different location every week. What do you think?

Hey,you have mail.Wishing you a nice weekend.Thank you !

Hey! If you have another fundraiser in the works, let me know so hubby and I can possibly help out.

Have a great weekend!

Hope it helped, even if a little bit. Thanks for getting this going Sandra.

hehe its me goober =) i got promoted again on wednesday before my vacation

Good morning, Sandra. Just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your ability to swat someone who needs swatting in such a firm, but kind way.

will ya stop by and wash my clothes too?

Sandra, I miss the morning bunch too. I've just been busy trying to get fresh veggies in the freezer and that's something I try to get done as early as possible. Maybe soon......

thanks for the birthday wishes there aunty!!!

luvas ya Lots!

"Reviewing some of the posts I missed. Not sure I'd want to be treated by an emt named codeblue? Kinda' like a surgeon named grimreaper, don't ya' think?" GGRider

After careful consideration, my new screen name will be changed to:

Dudeyouwerealreadydeadwhenigotherebutyourfamilywasstandingth eresoiworkedmyassoffforanhouranyhowtonoavailbutheynochargeEM T

Kinda long...still has the EMT part. LOL.

awww thanks Sandra! I was so surprised and humbled that it was up there! I am kinda used to just being in the background!

'And I thought you were going to offer to wash mine...'

i would but, ain't that kind of creepy:)

The backpacks came. They are the new sling style. I don't think they will hold as much as a large trash bag, but they will hold a lot! They are sort of a bright lime green, which I hope will work for either a boy or girl and are not a gang color I have ever heard of. Let me know when you want to get together and I will pass them off to you for your friend.

Hey there! Hope you are doing good? Have a nice evening!

I am totally swamped this week, but maybe we can have lunch sometimes next week?"

Sure!! {{{Hugs}} See ya soon
