I know you don’t have to post here anymore, but I love that you do. I love keeping up with everyone. I’m off to a Christmas parade. Hope you have a great day.

Morning Marshall and sleepy heads. I’m taking Bear and three of his friends to the Shriners Magic Show in Tupelo! We have this each year in December as a fundraiser. Kids get in free, tickets are paid for by donations and donated back to us. Money helps us with transportation costs for patients going to the burn hospitals.
Good morning.
Heck, Boss, I got no place else to go. I remember the good ole days of 150-200 comments and days full of snark and giggles. I wish some of those folks would come back.
AW, that sounds like a good time for a fine cause.
Well, I do too, Blues. I was horrified when I finally got here last night to see that there had only been 10 comments all day long.
And thank goodness Mississippi finally has another burn hospital at Crossgates River Oaks Hospital, the only one in the state.
Mornin!
Had a Gret time last night with sisses! It looks a tornado in the living room with all the goodies that exploaded from Big Sis suitcases!
Is big sis back for good? I hope so cause I know y’all have missed her. I’m glad you were able to make that once in a lifetime trip to see her though while she was still over there.
Good morning! I jumped up at 6:00 (only on weekends) and I’ve been reading a book, talking to Braveheart, and drinking coffee while waiting for BE and Lupe to arise. BE just arose and the TV is on so now it’s just a matter of time before Lupe wakes up and decides she needs to go outside.
Good morning everyone!!! Coop so glad you girls had fun. You all deserved it!!!!
Sorry I became extinct (Sp) last night. I think I had that Pitty Platter from “the Breakfast menu” last night. Even knowing everything that has happened to PD in the past month and knowing the seriousness of every detail really hit hard when I seen those words in writing last night on some papers needed for HR at work. “Indefinitely” is a real heart stabber for me. God I need the strength to face him each day knowing this is not how he ever wanted to be in his life and it is not his fault that he is there now. It is not what God has done to him, but what an inept nursing unit let happen. I had the knowledge, I knew what was going on, but could not make them to see or move in a quicker motion to get him help.
Maybe so chocolate covered donuts from Shipley’s can lift my spirtis. My meds haven’t kicked in yet. Also no offense to all the nurses PD has had some wonderful ones that are full of life and can make him feel like a half of million bucks at times.
OB glad you both made it safely to Arkansas and enjoy the visit. AW have a great time with Bear today. What an awesome time to spend together. Happy times that you will both remember through the years.
Clucky I hope girls night waw wonderful and that Chicklette has a great tryout this morning.
Boss enjoy your day too with family and friends.
morning gang! The moo woke me ready to go out about an hour ago…. so i have stayed up and gotten ready.. Headed to CS to take our cans off. Probably about 15 bags just called and they are giving .55 a pound.. highest around. I gotta do it before our parade so i dont get blocked in or out.
MR thanks for this area to come and chat.. I find it easier keeping up here than FB ( to much other stuff there).
Everyone have a great Saturday… Decorating the yard this afternoon.
And, MsBlondie, if you take them to CS, you can stop at Louise’s after you cash in your cans. Here, you get 55 cents for over 100 pounds.
MsB & L.E. ya’ll remind me of a conversation I had over thanksgiving with family in regards to selling your cans.
I found out that when my grandparents were in the early years of their marriage they would pick up bottles & sell them the way ppl save & sell cans today. My grandparents would sell the bottles, specificlly as a way to save up money to afford fuel for a tank of gasoline in their car.
Last but not Least Blues, I feel I have no where else but here too!!! Co-workers are just that. They are not mean spirited but just that you pull your own weight no matter what crisses you are going through. They are just co-workers and acquantices not true friends to the meaning.
At a coffee shop in Mountain View that has wi-fi. Cloudy up here with rain forecast this evening. Looks like we will be driving in the rain on the way home tomorrow.
Hope PD continues to improve.
Smiles and hugs to all.
Hey Olbopper, I visited Mountain View the weekend of the “outhouse Races”.
Had a great buffet at ‘The Ozark Folk Center’ with lots a family.
Picked a new coffee mug while we were there actually.
Btw, that was the same weekend that the St. Louis Rams beat the New Orleans Saints at the Edwards Jones Dome.
just sayin…
Facebook does nothing for me. It takes an MRBA fix to touch base with the ones I care about.
I agree. I creep on my steps and grands of FB :)
Amen Eagle!
Survived the Magic Show with four boys! We’re home and they are playing.
Thank you, Marshall Ramsey! You have been a God-send for so many people in so many different ways. Your ability to touch, bless and positively influence lives is an amazing thing!
Amen!
This!
There’s no place like home, and this is home. I haven’t posted much lately..I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired, and I feel like all I do is whine, so I’m just treading water til surgery time and praying for healing to follow. Those of you/us who have lost dear ones have a harder time around the holidays, and this year seems worse than last. I’m sorry I’m no longer the life of the party..it’s as of that part of me has died. I want it back..I NEED “me” back. I hope being home a while after surgery will help me fix that too. Finances are stressful-always-and kids are kids. I’m pushing through, trying to last another day/week/etc. I’m sorry I’m not on here much anymore. I read/lurk, but in trying to keep it upbeat, just dont have much to say right now. It’s better that way, I think. I love all of you like family-I hope you know that. It’s hard trying to keep house when you can even lift a load of laundry, much less mop, etc., and those I ask to help expect something in return. I’ll be turning off cell phones soon-that might get their attention, since they have never paid the bills anyway.
Going to get a shower and get ready for our parade. Like last year, I’ll go to a neighbor’s house with a bonfire, gumbo and libations, but not the same with MF on the coast with his dad, who leaves for Mexico on Tuesday, and will return in March.
Y’all have a good evening.
Headed to ICC to see George Jones. He’s here at a fundraiser to restore Tammy Wynettes childhood home which is two miles from my farm and where I grew up.
Bless his heart. He nearly killed Tammy while they were married, but now that she’s dead, I’m glad he’s doing something to save her childhood home. But nobody can sing a song any better than old No Show Jones. Have fun – wish I were there.
Enjoy AW!!! sounds like a good time!!!
Well, folks, I have survived the week work!! Feel a bit better…just not 100% yet.
Marshall, I can’t tell you how much this place means to me. I may not post everyday, but I do read and lurk. Thank you!!
Same here MR. I escape right into these short stories while there still hot off the iPress. Thanks for posting the ‘weekend reader’. Although, I did look over the list & realize that I’ve already read them all. I creep in on the free for all errvry now & then, but always up to date on the MRstuff. Nice pic MR drew for the MS sports guy that recently passed. That was purdy sharp.
In other bpman news today, well..let’s just say Moms threatening to throw me in a looney house if I don’t give up the FB addiction. (She’s in MS & I’m in STL so that aint gunna happen) but… I guess she noticed a more than a few ‘status updates’ this week. She says her & Dad are just concerned.
Guess I better breakdown & sign up on twitter, don’t think they tweet yet :)
Lol @ you BPman.
Watching a channel on Dish network Pandora–Holiday moments on Ice. With Mannheim steam rollers. What a great combo of beauty.
Hello everyone. I am like many others apparently. I stalk and keep up on what is going on but it has been a tough 2 years. I have not been able to find a job except for a 4 month temp job. Then hubby lost his job last Feb. We have now moved to St. Louis to be with our oldest son. Job market seems better but still neither one of us working. Well now that I have depressed the whole room, I am with my son so things are great in that respect. I love that boy with all that I am. I am going to try to do better at posting. I do feel that I know each of you but have only met clucky and Mr. Fab. I did find out that PD and I worked at the same company at the same time many years ago. That was pretty cool.
Hello dwb810-
If your close to Lake Saint Louis, I had a fren a mine mention a few weeks ago that they were looking to hire a receptionist. Its at a small family dental office.
Hey bpman. I am in South City close to Shrewsberry. Is that close? I am still trying to get around. I know the places we have gone for years but most of these places are local bars and restaurants. (oops)
That would be a heck of a drive. But the traffic for the most part would be in your favor. Most of the trip you’d see the rush hour jams in the opposite side of the interstate, going & coming.
Lemme send an inbox & see if the jobs still there.
if ya have no work at all right now you could check with Manheim St Louis (its an auto auction) and see about getting hired as a driver on their sale days. Its up on the rock road in Bridgeton. Bout 15 to 30 min drive from ya.
Thanks. I met two recruiters Thursday night at an association meeting so maybe with all efforts combined things will turn around. How long have you been in StL?
Okay, typing to fast PM not PD.
Started travelin’ from the MS Delta to STL since I was just a baby. Got married on 9/11/99 & 3 years later we moved to STL to start a family of our own. We have 3 awesome kids now. Our 2nd one was born down in the city at Barnes Jewish on Kinghighway, then rushed next door to StL Childrens for surgeries. He’s all fine now & ican say he really was a million dollar baby. Famous at that. Well..if ya call the TLC Channel famous. (Discovery Channel filmed his pregnancy, birth & following surgeries).
Anyways, as you can see I’m a proud father. STL is most definitely a great place to raise a family.
*Kingshighway*
#1 son moved here in 2003. We had brought him here many times as a young child. Then he met a friend at a place he worked in college that was from here and the rest is history.
I’m sittin here watchin 10 o’clock news & they start rattlin off all the places that are hiring. Some sorta ‘Jobs 4 you’ segment. They said go to kmov.com & look for the ‘Job 4 you’ section to find out more.
I usually go to StL today or the StL business journal for their job boards.
I will look at kmox tomorrow
Concert was great. Georgette Jones, Tammys and Georges daughter was supposed to be there but she was a no show! Just following the family tradition I suppose.
I feel the same. Sometimes this is my only family. Love and prayers to all.
