Joni! Hi again! Well, St.Louis may have said they had 71, but it sure wasn't that here, north of STL! We had 58 early and kept dropping with strong Tstorms, and tornado watches all around. Winds like you wouldn't believe!
How sweet of you to be a "Sailor Rescue Mom! Such a good heart you have! I think we may need thinking of doing a STL get together! That would be great! Humm...where to fit that in....!
I have not done this, but recently on another forum moms were trying to do the playlist thing too, this was their suggestion, but I have not tried it---"click on Forums on top of this page---in it you will see discussions on How to add stuff on N4M---click on that, scroll down and there is another discussion about how to add music to page...a mom added a comment about going to playlists.com, doing something to add it to your page.Saw that you can add music by going to Add applications on left side of your profile page, they have a couple music appications, though don't know how easy or hard it is to do." "Used Jukebox, used search tool to find an artist,genre,or song, clicked the green plus sign at right of each song i wanted, it should show on add list how many you have, after that, you need to click add when it shows on screen, the song you want, you may need to scroll up a little. then, it took a few minutes but it did load."
Thank you Pam! How sweet of you! Yes, we're all OK here. We have had so many close calls with tornadoes in the past 3 years that it is scary! Last yr, in our small town of 3,500- we had 3 tornadoes go thru within a half hours time! Luckily they all "bounced" around instead of taking the whole town out. I agree, I sure hope this isn't a sign of what's to come...And out west, blizzard conditions again, hope it all stays to the north (sorry northern folks, but we do not want it either! Not wishing it on you by any means!)
Good nite folks-sorry for the "book"!

Wow, so glad the temps have warmed up, but the winds are soooo strong today, up to 55 mph. And were under tornado watches again. Been such an unusual year, had tornadoes in December (sure not normal for us!). Hope you are all tied down and ready for the next go round!

Won't it be lovely to finally see some green grass, some flowers blooming (I'll even take just seeing some green tips starting to show up through the ground!)
Ken's mom, you must be the best! Sounds as tho your relationship with the future DIL is one built on sincerity, love and trust! So glad you are being blessed, with a son and now a "daughter"! How wonderful! Enjoy the excitement too! I agree, missing them does come and go. Some good days, some not so pleasant. But...I would not trade my children for nothing! Good night everyone!

Ughhh! Your gonna make me cry Joni! 75? You kidding me? Honest, 75? We couldn't even break it to freezing here! Did get to the upper ... 20's! I am sooooo envious! The wind was very biting cold, so the wind chill made it like 10 degrees! Yes, I do remember that hot summer. Used to be typical all the time when I was a kid, tho that was many moons ago!
No, I usually went out of my way to dress them different. Altho, anything given clothing wise would be some kind of 'alike' outfit. I always wanted them to feel separate, tho bonded together. And mostly, that worked! They were handfuls, I kid you not, but I would NEVER trade it for anything!
Hope you have extra copies of birth certificates, sometimes they request them from different offices! I tried to get some of the reports back from the recuiters office, but they had destroyed all the info in their file already, once they get through BC :0{ But that's OK, I just always try to have several copies of anything anymore! Ha!

Welcome aboard Sarah! So glad to have you coming into the discussions with us! Will be great to chat!
Joni, I know "Big Sis" does so with Love! Wouldn't have it any other way! Ha! I have twin boys in, both are in C-school in SD, (CA) prior to shipping out. I always knew they'd go Navy, been all they talked about since being 7 yr.old. Plan on being "career Navy", they absolutely LOVE it. One milestone after another! But, must admit it is a little "quiet" now that they left again!

For the rest of you, sorry that you had the snow. So glad that it did not hit us. We were fortunate in this go round! Sure hope you all get the nice warm weather later this week, me too! I can't wait for my poor little crocus's to start blooming! They tried twice already to pop up, but the poor little leaves got bit by the -20 degree weather both times! And Melissa, my mom always said we would always be her babies, no matter how OLD we got! And no one can do better than momma when something needs done! Do drive careful and enjoy that boy!

Glad that the snow is going away and hope we get the warm weather this week. I get to go to Nebraska to spend a week with my son. He is stationed at Offutt AFB. His personal belongings are due to be delivered this Friday and he would like Mom to come up and help him unpack and put his things away. I guess they really do need Mom even when they get older and move away. Thank God for that. I miss having him around all the time.

Ha!! Guess that says something about the multinationalities! (License plate!) Wow, looking on your phone, I'm starting to feel something like "Big Sister" watching me! HA!!! I do think that you are homesick! Actually, maybe that just depends on how Often! The snow wasn't bad, tho I am further to the north a bit. We did not get any.That storm hit worse to the far south and east. We all just have more cold and wind. It is only 20 now, had 11 this morning. Wanna trade?!!

Joni, I do believe that the USA is the melting pot of the world, but St.Louis must draw in the majority! I think it also helps to bring in the numerous cultural experiences, thereby enhancing the "mood" of the area! Born and raised in MO, even tho I spent time away for a spell. Still was drawn back! Working with a newspaper, that must be exciting! I want to say I envy you with your 92 degree weather, but...that may be a mite warm! Am sure that is a dry heat tho. Needing air conditioning, and we are at 10 tonite! Wow! quite the extremes!

Got a couple of inches of the white stuff here in Springfield. My son called and wants me to come up to Nebraska to help him unpack his stuff when it gets there from San Diego in a couple of weeks. I guess they still need their Mama. I am glad. It will give me a few days away from hubby and the other kids that we are now responsible for. Back in August 2007 we took on the responsibility of raising our great-neices and great-nephews. They are 10, 11, 15 and 17. Two boys and two girls. They go to school here and really do love it. They are so happy to be living here with us instead of with their drug addict parents. We pray for them all the time but it just does not seem to be doing any good at this time. Time can only tell. We just leave it in God's hands. The youngest boy who is 10 wants to be like his cousin and join the Navy when he gets old enough.

Well I guessw I had better go to bed and get some sleep. Church tomorrow.

Joni, even San Francisco has nothing on St. Louis ("leaving my heart in ....") sorry, kinda late, and getting a mite giddy! Nice to have new folks on! We welcome all of you! Have anything to share or ask...just go right on ahead! We shall try to do our best, and wish much congrats to you for having a wonderful sailor! (Must take after his mom!) :0}
