okay well i picked something different,lol

Thanks for the info Sandra.

I'd sure give a publisher his due cause it would get the books out there faster, but I don't want them tampering with what I've written, and that might be a problem too.

I do want illustrations though. Kids love pictures, and the ones in my mind are so cute.

Thanks again. You're the best!!!

With love.

God bless.

Hi Sandra, thanks for checking on me. Since 4th of July, I've had a sick husband, and have been very busy with him. He is much better now, back to work and everything. I appreciate the the comment!

San, I still have tools I will never use again...and pay $100 a month to store them. I can't drive (my neck), but we will find a way. Thanks again for all you do.

Hi Sandra! You are one of the most caring people on here and I'm so glad I've gotten to know you! You are an amazing person with such a heart too! {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Good Morning,just stopping by to wish you a blessed weekend.You are so thoughtful in helping others.

(((((Hugs))))) to you.

Hi Sandra :)

Yep, thats my pup Jayda! She is THEE sweetest dog I have ever had!

I laugh at her ears when I see pictures like the one of her in my blog

HOPE your keeping cool today !

Hey Sandra!

Always hard to tell a male from a female when it comes to dogs! Jayda is a total NUT but the sweetest girl!!

Having a thunder storm here, was pouring not long ago........ HOPE your staying cool :)

about the coffee thing. hands down some of the best i ever had came from ethiopia, eritrea, and kenya. and the great thing is, that i got to enjoy it in africa in the country that it grows in.

haha yeah I was just joking around, thanks for the explanation though, I don't want to cause drama :)

Hey Sandra, thanks, my day was busy. I hope you had a great day. Today I got an e-mail from one of the shuttle astronauts due to lift off on 8-25. I thought that was nice.

HEY! I couldn't figure out which number in David's phone was yours the other day. Sorry I didn't call. Dom still wants to come play sleep over sometime. Tomorrow probably won't be good. David's going to find out if he has to go in for sugery. Then if he does it will be sometime this week. GOOD TIMES. I got a job offer yesterday! It starts on the 31st though so I'm not going to stop looking. BUT YEA.... You still have his number, right?

What an awesome ending to the story. She is precious, Nic, and you are such a sweetheart! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

((((Sandra))))....like my original thought awhile back about negative and positive....this life experience....holding this kitten on the brink of death and then seeing a such a comeback truly sucked a large portion of my negative...and I am on top of the world....

Funny how it really is in the little things isn't it?

i will be going to police academy next month. start on sept 28 thru dec 12. alot of work has gone into this, and i hope is about to pay off.

http://www.gpstc.org/divisions/rpatifton.html

thanks. i gotta take my state test in the morning. after i pass i start. school is an hour and an half away, so i will stay on campus all week and come home on friday nite. i'm looking foward to it.

Thanks Sandra,,,,that's a sweet man to care for a little kitten. Most really would just "kick it to the curb".

For you

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5789727/

Sandra, yes an old friend is getting an opportunity of a lifetime. You train and you train and hope you get this chance.

when you get a chance, take it...Iris, Goo Goo Dolls.

Sandra, Today's blog was extremely thought-provoking. I'm just getting around to reading it in it's entirety. Congratulations to your parents. They are very lucky to have such a wonderful relationship. You are lucky to be a product of that relationship.

I needs some of that coffee!! LOL Have a wonderful, well earned, vacation in Myrtle Beach. You will love it, but we will miss you around here. Take care!!

Thank you Sandra! After I apologized they told me I Had issues... but they are the unforgiving ones... oh well.. I will step away because I won't have them looking at me like i'm the stalker or wont give up or whatever.....I guess you're right the friendship wasn't meant to be....

When do you leave? Taking the children?

hi Sandra, hope you are having a good day and just wanted to say HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

Thanks for the great advice... I quoted you on my profile hope you don't mind!

I ALMOST feel guilty about not taking the kids...

"No, I think I'm way past the age where I could make a good living that way."

I think you would be surprised. I used to live in Detroit and anything with a pulse was good enough. Not recommending it though!

have a great time at the beach. I'll miss our morning coffee.

Human beings are social creatures, and need one another. Without trust, you cannot have a close relationship. Without a close relationship, life can seem empty.

Good morning, Sandra!!!

Good morning, I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hi Sandra, Have a fantastic week at the beach. LUCKY YOU...Big HUG!

girlie, you know I luv you. I am just sometimes not the most pc guy you have met. Have a great vacation. I had an awesome visit today from my Liberian friend, I have told him about you. He said "no thong on da beech"...with his heavy accent. Of course, I did not tell him about 9/10. It is our little secret...just enjoy your week with yo family. btw, how many guys call their African cabbie to come by to visit and chat? Maybe, that is what you see in me. Enjoy your week!!!

David has to go in for surgery on Wednesday. SOOOOOO yea. This week is bound to be a great time.

I hope my PhotoChop didnt cause u any ill feelings there with you and others.. I knew you would see it as humor but did not quite understand some of the responses it did recieve.

We are missing your morning blogs.

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/5814897/

Please visit this blog. I may be needing your help/guidance in how to manage this. Thanks, dear heart.

I miss your morning blogs Sandra. Hope you are doing well. Have a great day!

Sandra, thanks for comment and hugs. ((((((Hugs))))) back and have a great weekend. Looking forward to seeing you back next week. Take care!

This place is a big snoozefest when you're not around!

Hope you had a terrific vacation. :)

Welcome back, you timed that vacation perfectly. Nothing really happened while you were gone. Oh Happy Birthday. If I remember right when I turned 40 my life started to go down hill. My only suggestion at this point is to remind you to please your husband.

Sandra, I hope your books do well. Make money doing something you love, I'm jealous. At 40 women naturally become a lot meaner, use it to your advantage with your dealings with publishers.

Hey Sandra,hope you had a nice vacation.Nice to see you back,you surley have been missed.

Glad you're back,Sandra.Hope you had a great time!!Check out this AM blog on Hank.I didn't write anything like you asked until you came back.

Woopsy Daisy, somehow the remote for the large Mitsubushi TV ended up in the grass....I do have it..

Haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks. He is in route to his forward operating base right now. He may not have internet access yet.

Sandra,I want to thank you for your support and prayers during my husband's illness and death. You are a very sweet person and I hope to get to know you better.I really appreciate your coming to the Memorial Service for Hank.I am sorry I couldn't talk more to you but I was delighted to see you and know you cared.I am glad you like the blogs on Hank.I'll keep on periodically with them when I can.Thanks again!
