Hey Sandra !

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness!

I am still waiting for my biopsy results or should I say "biopsies" since he took 5 !

3 weeks yesterday and the results were supposed to be in, as of this morning, still nothing.

I guess no news is good news! LOL

Hope your doing GREAT :)

G'morning beautiful lady! I love your profile pic. I got a chance to look thru the rest of your gallery, great photos!! You look great in white! Some nasty little irritating health issues have kept me off golo for a while now, only on hit and miss times now it seems. I still look for your blogs. I heard the book was coming along great. Are you thru with it? I can't wait to see what it's all about. I'd love to have an autographed copy. LOL! Any links for a sneak peek?? I'm excited for you Sandra, seriously...

Hope you have a wonderful day. (((((hugs)))))

Mornin' Sandra...I don't know how "awesome" my blog was, but it's always awesome seeing your sunny smile and positive disposition on GOLO. You girl, are always a sight for sore eyes with your outgoing personality and refusal to let things get you down. Have a great day!

Thanks for adding me! Nice to know there's other weather geeks out there =)

Hey Sandra, Any news on what we talked about earlier?

{{{Sandra}}} Always great to hear from you! Hope your week has gone good. I'm just glad tomorrow is Friday! {{{hugs}}}

Beth

Sandra, you sure are one special lady. Here's wishes for a wonderful weekend for you and your family. HUGS!!!

I enjoyed your blog this morning. I have been working towards the point of spirituality that you were discussing. It really gives one a sense of peace not to be so focused on material things and activities. Have a good weekend!

Hey Sandra :)

I know things take time but sheesh. Dont tell me 3 weeks for a biopsy result and 3 weeks pass and still nothing.

LOL THATS what makes me worry. BUT I am ok. Going to have 5 nice scars on me thou!

Anywho, I am going to call again Monday, I did call the Dr's office the other day and spoke to the receptionist and she said sometimes it does take a lil longer.

I'll keep ya posted and thank you again for being so thoughtful!

Enjoy your weekend !!

Sandra, you are a speical person, wish I could meet ya for real.

Sorry I mispelled special, it don't even look right now.

Sandra, I live in Rocky Mount but work in Zebulon. Not too far away.

Please repost the house for rent blog tomorrow so more can see it.

and I'm so excited about my job I can't stand it.

Yea, I guess that is a better idea. I know he appreciates any and all help in getting it rented! You are so kind to do what you do.

Good morning, I hope your white outfit is staying clean. You are so lucky that you tan. I'm a soft shade of orange from the self tanning products.

Sandra....

I dreamed of playing a nasty game of Twister with this beautiful Italian Princess!!!

BTW, she was winning ;)

Sandra..thank you again for everything this afternoon!!!!! I know Gary appreciates it..I didn't realize at the time that the dogs would've been out of food tonight....((HUGS)) thanks again..

Old Rebel said it remionded him of David and Jonathan.Oddly enough they are very similiar.You see,D.'s mother was not a good mother.She still lives with the man who molested D's sister.D was abused by his alcoholic father.D. had so much anger he was somewhat of a pyromaniac as a kid. M didn't know all this and they became friends and took up for each other on the bus.We helped D and his wife out several times for college money,or emergencies.D changed after M became his friend.D would come over and I would talk to him.My husband treated him like a son too.Now D says my husband is the closest he ever had to a father.D is married to a really sweet girl and they're both working on their master's degrees. I am so proud of M for changing the life of a another kid.M once told me if he ever died young he would die happy knowing he had saved D and made a difference.I didn't want to post this for everyone but I tought you and a few others might like the story of M and D

lol

I'm doing great! hope you are too.

well any possition you want on my Golo family tree is open, just name it! You know your more than qualified.

Good morning pretty lady!!!!

I have been asked that before Sandra, I'm just not sure how to go about it. I do have a friend in Nashville, TN. that I graduated with that is a song writer. He read some of my poems and expressed an interest in reviewing them all. He said he would wordsmith them as needed and put chords to them. Then email them back for my approval on any changes he may have made. Once he receives my approval he will put a scratch melody on them and record a demo and send to me for final approval before he tries to pitch it. It's all new too me so we'll see.

mom would be great! but Blah is claiming that possition.

umm what else do you think?

I know there is a good one for you, but cant think of it

Hey Sandra! I saw your comment about Facebook and friends etc. You have to be the most tactful, diplomatic person on GOLO. I hope you have a great day!

Thank you Sandra, it means a lot too me coming from such a talented writer as yourself!!!

One problem Sandra. She got the answer wrong. No crown, and put down that spoon!

But Steve will never back down. Typical male arrogance!

The spoon itself is not scary. It's the psychotic Italian woman attached to the spoon that strikes fear.

Smorg has lots of wooden spoons, and I am sure I can borrow one. I wonder if a Jewish-Irish woman would have the same effect?

Hey Sandra! So glad you were there to help Bear. Such a great guy.

Hope you are having an awesome humperz day!

Hey aunty Sandra,

yup thats right, aunty

ode2joy nominated you to one of my young aunty's got you on the golo family tree!

((((((HUGS)))))))

The pizza party ended up being a quickie on the counter as I had two different folks pick that as an opportune time to see the house...

Sorry I was unable to get back with you about it...

Wow...you had your hands full....:):):)....but I am certain it was a treat...

Yes indeedie....another time perhaps.....

Hey Sandra, I'm enjoying your blogs...hope your summer is off to a great start!!!

Hi Sandra! Thanks for getting back with me. My novel is about the lives of two brothers and how their lives seem to be linked to a train. That train is called "City of New Orleans". It really exists and runs between Chicago, through Memphis, and on to New Orleans. At its core, the story is about loss, jealousy and making mistakes. As I said before, I've gotten just about all of my plot points staked out, but I would certainly love to hear any tips you may have on meshing it all together into one cohesive dialogue.

The publisher knows best, I always say keep it simple.

There is nothing better than receiving royalty checks believe me. I hope your books do well so that you can buy multiple white outfits.

Good morning Sandra

(((hugs)))

Good morning and Happy Fathers day to all the men in your life.

Thank you. Happy Father's Day. I hope you don't mind but I'm testing different hairstyles on your head. I'll share them with you later.

Hi Sandra:

My hubby is a victim that can't let go, himself. His step-father was a complainer, verbal abuser & alcoholic, a path that DH (dear hubby) is occasionally on himself. I've left him several times; he does not know or see his pain. He's driven family & friends away & certainly keeps trying to do the same with me. Therapy is out-too expensive. At my age, my options are limited. So mostly, I just ignore him & go on with what I need and want to do, until he's ready to play nice again. I refuse to let him bring me down to his level. And, when he's being obnoxious, I tell him so. Don't care any more if he wants to hear it or not.

Permission ALWAYS granted.

You are welcome always nice to have you to stop by.I do enjoy your blogs very much.Hope you are having a nice everning.:)

Good Morning Sandra ~ We have been missing each other lately while blog visiting; however, I always appreciate your greetings and kind comments, and they are not unnoticed.:) Have a pleasant and productive week. Blessings...

Im doing ok. The surgery went well. The doctor didnt find what he was looking for, so basically we are back at square 1. But other than that, things are going well in my neck of the woods. How have you been?

Great website, Sandra. Either of your books sold locally, or owned locally - like in a library??!

Sandra - Just wanted to say good morning! Feels like monday to me! ( I was out yesterday)

Thanks, sandra. People dont' seem as eager to participate this week, but my feeling is if it gets even one person to do something kind that they normally would not have done, then it is worth it!

:)

Glad you liked it - I almost deleted the comment for fear of being inappropriate! Have a great day!

suppp lil lady!!!

/*CC tipps over sized cow boy hat*/

how ya bizzzzz? for chizle manizzle

Thank you Sandra for being such a caring person.

I`ll be ok and hope you have a good night :)
