Just got back from an 11-mile run. Saw the sun rise over the Ross Barnett Reservoir.

    Good morning everyone. Marshall what an awesome picture, God is the greatest at all he does.

    Had a haircut now what should I do and what do I want to do. I guess I will see which one wins out by nightfall.

    What a beautiful sunrise! Thank you for sharing it with those of us that rolled out at the crack of 9. :) I was planning to work at the concession stand last night but…after the trip to Vicksburg and back, then unloaded, I told my buddies I was coming home to take a “quick” nap, with plans to return at 630. At 930, I woke up going “uh-oh.” They made it just fine without me. I did go help until we got everything stocked up, cleaned up and closed up til the next game. We lost 35-6, but they always kick our tails. They are the rudest bunch of players, cheerleaders and parents that we play each year. How/why in the world we have them on our schedule is beyond me.
    Hopefully, we will finish the prep work
    And get some tile going in today in the GFSBR!!

    MrsH, I am so amazed and tickled at Baby Jane’s progress! My first miscarriage 22 years ago was spontaneous at 14 weeks along, and was due to anencephaly. She had only a face..no ears, no skull on the back of her body, but the rest of her was normal for gestational age. At that time, I don’t even know if “HPE” as a term existed, but it blows me away, because we always called her “Hope.”

    Y’all have a great day! I love all of ya-the family I chose. I’m so sorry JB no longer participates in the MRBA. I feel personally responsible; it was due to a heated “discussion” regarding the Personhood Amendment” last October. In his departure, he also “took” Tank with him. I they wish to return, I will step away and let them have it. I can keep in touch via text and fb. It hurts me to see Marshall’s page dwindling away. He has worked so long for so long, and in doing so, has created a virtual community/family/fan club. I love that he posts his stories-fiction and non-fiction, shares with us his victories, his pain and his hard work. The MRBA has been here through the loss of my Mom, PM’s husband, MrsH’s mother, and the list goes on. In return, he has shared his worries with us about his family-human and canine-and let’s not forget Sam. And we were also here when the last Ramsey made his arrival. We are here for Marshall and he gives us a place to be together.

      You absolutely did not run JB off by yourself. I joined in the stand for not giving the government the right to say what we do with our bodies. I have always said that politics and religion are not topics for public discussion. There are always those who forget every other similarity there is between two friends only to quibble over one issue they disagree on. Therefore, that person who always feels that they are right no matter what would rather give up a friend than try to see that there are two sides to every issue and usually more than two.

      The MRBA was also here for me when I lost my job and was sent over the hill to play games at the senior center and through the loss of my youngest son.

    Clucky people have all come and gone. Tank, JB, and all others could return if they so choose. The thing we all have to remember is we have our opinions and not everyone is going to agree with them whether here or in the work place. The difference is in the work place you just can’t up and quit. You learn how to work around the difference. Here is like a store you don’t like what it offers you leave and find another one or you can choose to find something good about this home we share.

    I find plenty of good in this one. We are the best corn popping air filter changers in the land and it makes me smile to think about it.

    I thoroughly enjoy getting together every year for our annual picnic and wish we would do lunch more often like we used to do.

    I want to thank a special member of the MRBA for saving a family’s life yesterday. I slept much better last night knowing that you had afforded them a safe harbor in the storm tossed waves they were fighting and I get a lump in my throat thinking of their happy future. (((((((((((((((((((You know who you are)))))))))))))))))))

    I know Ole Miss won. I hope State is doing well now.

    This past week has been one of the hardest since Mom died. My sister said some very mean things, and I shouldn’t let it bother me. For just a little while, all 4 of us were getting along, and now this. It’s the first time she has ever been like this to me. I am very hurt. I’ll get over it, and I really hope she does too-and soon. She’s almost 60 years old; it’s about time she grew up.

  8. Clucky says:

    Oh, a giggle for Marshall. If Thing 1 decides to spend forever with his gf (and I can see it happening), I’ll have the same dilemma your parents had: half Volunteer/half Bulldog. LOL

    Evenin!

    I think I officially have “soccer Grandy” arms. I forgot sunscreen (sorry Marshall) and got a little “color” below my sleeves as I sat out in the sun for a few hours today watching my Peanut play. Had a great day with my Baby Girl and Peanut. Even got to spend a little time with my Bug before she left for Sville and Cub, who came by to visit on his way to KO.

    I don’t want to hear any talk of leaving the MRBA. Marshall has been an anchor for so many of us at times of need. He has stuck by us through all kinds of things and provides a virtual home for our, admittedly dysfunctional, alternative family. Until the day he says we are no longer welcome, I’ll be here. Maybe not as often as I used to be, but I’ll be here.

    We may all take breaks from touching base, but I think we all know that we are all still out there for each other.

    Love to all, especially Marshall, who made all of this possible in the first place. :)

    btw, that’s a HELLUVA pic of a sunrise this morning!

    Re:grandkids. Pffft. Firing on 2 cylinders. Forgive me.

    The Girl and a cousin/classmate/friend are seeing “Possession” right now. I can already tell there will be a 3rd body in our bed. Mr. Fab got her good a few weeks ago; a bunch of the kids had got together and watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre. She came home scared out of her wits and couldn’t sleep a wink. She had every light in the house blazing while T and I were enjoying a glass of wine on the deck. At midnight, he snuck around to the front of the house and beat on the front door and cranked up the chainsaw. It took her all of 3 steps to get from the couch to my lap outside on the deck. I had snot
    & tears from laughing so hard. She laid off the horror flicks for a while-til tonight. Heh. I know-evil parents. Why do teens have such a fascination with horror flicks? I remember when Nightmare on Elm Street and The Jason Vorhees flicks first came out-we couldn’t get enough of them. Now to see something like that, even though I ask KNOW it’s fake, makes me sick on my stomach and just terrified. I guess that adrenaline rush changes over the years.

    Coop, glad to see you had a good day with your girls. Thinking about y’all!

    Monday is doctor day in Jackson; yes PM, the Hottie with the Body, and the other one that, bless her heart, tries to understand this brain of mine! Praying Granny doesn’t sideswipe me again on Lakeland!!

    • parrotmom says:

      Clucky I was at location at CMMC this past Monday and came so close to seeing which office he was at. LOL!!!! Tell him I said Hello!!! oh, he want know who PM is either.

  12. parrotmom says:

    I saw on FB where State won also. It appers our buddy JB’s team in TN maybe having a problem or two, though.

    Coop glad you had a good day with the family.

  13. parrotmom says:

    7:55 am Sunday. God is alive and well. Slowly getting ready for church. Enjoying special music and the thrill of watching my hottie girls. Soon they will have to go out so my Parrot has that same chance.
    Hope you all have a fantastic day.

  14. Clucky says:
