Fatal Accident on Our Street in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Below is the report of an incident that occured a couple of nights ago in front of our home, directly across our street. I rendered aid to Arthur Hayes, the one who'd pulled himself out of the burning truck and into our front yard. He is undergoing surgery today for a crushed left hip socket and fractured pelvic bone. The driver of the vehicle, Jacob, is due for release from the hospital tomorrow. My husband is listed below-Michael Sorrels. He's definitely a hero, and an angel to the surviv

The End of 2003 in Blogging JoeUser Forums

During a short break at work today, I picked up a publication that the University of Texas Medical Branch (where I work) puts out every 3 months, and began thumbing through it. One of the headlines, from the medical director nonetheless, was "Happy to Say Goodbye to 2003." He went on to make comments about the 275-person reduction in forces that we've had, EMR being introduced into most of the units (Electronic Medical Record), and other things that could send one into a nervous breakdown. <BR

Hopes that everyone had a good holiday in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well, the big day has come and gone. I was lucky enough to be off work yesterday the 25th, today and tomorrow. My family and I had a wonderful time. I don't think it could've gone any better-we exchanged gifts, had good food and a good time. I am truly blessed. How did everyone else's holiday go? I would love to hear. My boys made out like bandits. They still have stuff that they've yet to open and play with. My parents spoiled them rotten. Believe it or not, my mother bought s

Roseanne Junkie in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I am stepping forward an proclaiming that I am a "Roseanne" junkie. I know it's all reruns...but I'm hooked! There are several stations that air the wonderful, whimsical episodes in one-hour blocks. This is sad, but I know what channels the show airs on and at what time. I can watch the same episode twice in the same day and laugh at all of the same parts. That show tickles me everytime I watch it. Okay, I admitted it...Have a good day!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I hope everybody's holiday season is going well. I just wanted to take a moment to wish everybody Happy Holidays! I hope and pray that it finds everyone in the best of health and spirits. My children wrote their letters to Santa today.

My oldest son who is 5 was very excited and blurted out several items t

Shopping for Grown Folks in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I have to know- Does anybody out there despise shopping for other adults as much as I do?? Does anyone else get leg cramps and brain farts from walking up and down the endless aisles of stuff you know that they'll think you're retarded for buying?? My husband is fairly easy to shop for. I know what to buy him because I know what he likes. However, other grown folks tend to give me chest pains when I try to buy things for them.."Does he already have one of these?? Will she just ret

The True Meaning of Christmas in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I received a wonderful email today from my sister in law. It's about how a woman walks into her living room and sees Santa behind her Christmas tree. He tells her that the adults need to "Teach the Children." Here Santa then reached in his bag and pulled out a FIR TREE and placed it before the mantle. "Teach the children that the pure green color of the stately fir tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope of mankind, all the needles point heavenward, making i

Reply to Why men CHEAT with other women. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think some men have problems with their self-image. They look into the mirror and see someone who's not as appealing as they used to be, and they must prove to themselves that they've "still got it" by sleazing around with another woman. Then, after they've "bagged" (man's term) another woman and walk away thinking that they're the best thing since sliced bread, they waltz back into their life at home as if nothing's happened. Wrong. It just proves that the man is weak and cannot

One Tree Up in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I hope everyone had a good weekend out there in blog land. As far as myself, it went pretty well. My weekend actually started on Friday, which was my first day off. We took the boys ice skating at the Galleria in Houston. My oldest son is really taking to it..the youngest one could probably live without it. After ice skating we picked up my husband's sister Debbie, and we drove to Galveston. They were having the "Dickens on the Strand" festival, and we went to a Hand Bell Concert a

Nothing lasts forever anymore in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

To start this story, let me inform you that my husband has 3 siblings- 2 brothers and 1 sister. The two brothers I couldn't really care less about. However, his sister has always been nice to us and she calls to check on us at least once every 2 weeks. Debbie is 42 years old. Her and her husband, Anthony, have 4 sons. The boys' age range is from 11-18. This past Thanksgiving, I noticed that Debbie wasn't in the best of moods, but I figured that it was something temporary that'd pas

While He is Sleeping in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

My husband and I were laying in bed tonight, and I was watching one of my favorite shows-"Residency Life". This show is awesome. It's sort of like "Trauma: Life and Death in the ER". Both of those shows are great. Anyway, I think my husband has the world record for how quickly one can fall asleep.. One minute he was talking about something, and like 10 seconds later his mouth was wide open and he was snoring. Perhaps I live too hectic of a life. Perhaps my plate is too full, an

Ice Skating in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well, we had a good Thanksgiving. Around noon, we ate at my inlaw's house, then for supper we ate at my mother's house. All in all, it was a pretty good day. (My husband scored 2 touchdowns for the mens' football game..) Tonight we're planning on bringing the boys ice skating at an outdoor rink that's about 1.5 hours away, in Galveston. There's something going on at Moody Gardens called "The Parade of Lights". It's a path that you can walk that's filled with lighted Christmas scene

A Barbie Doll for Mom in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Several days ago, I was sitting on our couch with my 4 year old son when a commercial came on the television. I was looking through a cook book when something he said caught my attention: "That's what Maw Maw wants for Christmas." Before I could look up to see what was on the TV, the commercial was over. So, I asked him what it was that his grandma wanted for Christmas. "A Dancing Cinderella Barbie." Perplexed, I asked him again what she wanted for Christmas. "Moommmm.....A Dancing Cinder

Lucky Me in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Ahh, my first day off. I woke up around 7am (to my 4 year old, who always beats the alarm by at least 10 minutes) and stretched, joyful that I did not have to trudge through 8 hours with the end of the day my only hope. I fixed waffles for the boys and grabbed a diet soda for myself. Now, now..I know I shouldn't be eating so healthy in the early morning, but I just can't help it. So, I brought my oldest son to Kindergarten and my baby and I came back home to do some chores and watc

What's in my child's ear? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

After coming home from a rather non-eventful day at work, I took it upon myself to continue my nursing duties at home. I took my 5 year old to the doctor last week for the "crud". (I'm still not sure what "crud" really means.) As she was peering into his right ear, and as I was hoping the light wouldn't shine all of the way through the other side, she said, "Hmm there's alot of wax in there." Well, when we got home that afternoon I decided to take a peek in his ears myself. I'd

Too much to remember in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Where did I leave my car keys??? Where did I set my socks?? By the way, what was I in this room for????? OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! I'm getting old. I'm 29 years old and I'm losing it. I used to get upset at my mother when I was a teenager and living at home. She would ask me a question and upon delivering a lengthy and rather well thought-out response, I'd look at her and realize that she was in a complete oblivious state. She would say, "yeah.."

Being a working woman, I find it difficult at times to keep the communication gates open. I wake up and bring the kids to school, get ready for work, work, come home and do some chores, watch television/get on the computer for 30 minutes then head to bed. Where does hubby fit in? I have been married for close to 7 years now, and we have been together for over 11 years. We experienced a rough time several years back, as I'm sure all couples may.
