wow I sent out 2 boxes for my son on Monday. Do you think it will be sent back to me? I hope not. I sent him a box awhile ago and it took a month to get to him. That was way too long.
He was sick with the Flu and in Quarantined for a while but he is…
Thanks for the info. I hope everything goes well when she has our tonsils out too. I'm glad to hear the surgery isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. I talked to her yesterday morning for about 20 minutes and enjoyed every second of it. She's doing great. She had her wisdom teeth pulled out at the end of last week so she was not working. I guess that's the only way they have any time off while on the ship. I might want to be sick occassionally to from the sounds of the # of hours they all have to work. Wow I get tired just thinking about all that work. Hope you son write more later. I am blessed that my daughter e-mails and calls pretty regularly, but then she was always mama's baby. I miss her so much.

Hi Julie,
I'm not far from you, just up outside of Toledo. As far as Jersey goes, my family is from Bridgeton but I also lived for 8 years in New York, Rockland County to be exact if you know where that is. Ohio is no doubt different for you, but it's not so bad. I'm not crazy about Toledo even though I've lived here since 1972. Columbus is more my speed. So how long has Nelson been in the Navy and what does he do?
Hi Julie,
Was just looking around for other Moms in Ohio and wanted to say 'hi'. I'm a newbie to this whole Navy thing; my son just found out two days ago that he was accepted into the Officer Training program. I'm a little nervous about it all so I'm glad I found this site. I also see that you moved here from New Jersey. I was born in Jersey and still have family there. What part are you from?
Hi Julie, I haven't talked with you in a while. I hope all is well with you, I know you are enjoying the cold :) just kidding! I haven't talked to my son, Jonathon since Christmas day. These past few months have been very hard on me, letting go and accepting his own way. But I still would like to hear his voice. I hope he is not out partying or anything like that. Then I worry that he isn't studying for their advancement test. I know we are not in control, but boy it is hard to let that go. Have you heard from your son? Do you know what they are up to? Thanks for your encouraging words. Julie in Lima
Hi Julie, I just wanted to see how you're doing & if you've heard from Nelson lately. Haven't heard from Bill for a couple of days cause he's been working. He had shore patrol last evening according to one of his friends. How's your weather? Ours has been too cold for me & too much snow. I hope everything's going alright for you, hugs, M.J.
Hi Julie,
I just read what you wrote on the comment for the blue candle lighting. That could have been my entry.
I miss my son daily and cry about daily. I have gotten to where I don't let me husband or daughter see. And yes my daughter is going to be 16 next month but I don't think she really gets it. she tries, but .......
My email address is mompbs@bak.rr.com or you can get me on myspace at www.myspace.com/mompbs
Hi Julie, you're right . What can you send them with such limited space to store their stuff in? I think it's great that you sent him the Transformers blanket. Bill has absolutely loved them also. He actually im'd me just a couple of days ago, about a video on youtube where some man took a Gundam transformer & made a General Lee from it. He put the video of it up on his myspace page.
So as you can guess Bill's also a fan of Dukes of Hazzard. He says he's on a mission to scour the stores for one of them now. I think he will have to make one himself. He had a remote control Gen. Lee but his fiance broke it. He was going to have her send it to him. He wanted me to tell you that he's in GM division now.I hope that our guys still get to hang out
sometimes. I don't know a thing about how those divisions work. I have to get ready for work now, so you have a great day. M.J.
Hi Julie, hope you had a great Christmas. Mine was o.k. except that I wish Bill could have been home. Oh well, maybe next year. Have you talked to your son lately? I talked to Bill yesterday & im'd with him also. He's doing fine. Hope Nelson is doing well also. Hugs & love, M.J.
We moved here in 1998 from New Jersey. My kids are happy here so I'm glad we moved. I wasn't sure at first, there is nothing here and its flat! That much I hate. The people are pretty nice, but everyones related to everyone! So if you say something to one person you best be sure its something you want everyone in town to know. I miss the hills and woods and camping. But I don't miss the taxes, high prices, congestion and traffic.
