I can understand that. I have tried to teach my mom football many times but she prefers to be an ostritch. (spelling?) :) we are all in this together and if you're worried about your loved ones destination in the afterlife, I WILL GO DOWN THERE AND GET THEM, i promise. but you know better than I that they will all go to heaven. cling to faith hope and love and conquer your fears through Christ. have a wonderful victorious day everyone.

Wow! I was on this site a few days ago and there was only one or two pages on this forum. Ya'll been typing furiously. Sorry, I've been evesdroping. Is anyone suffering from carpel tunnel yet? You guys are a hoot! My son PIR's on 4/18 and we Moms are meeting at Flanagans for the alcohol (instead of Full Moon). Anyone been to Flanagans?

OMG - you are probably so right about the carpel tunnel situation...hmmmmm how will we explain that to our bosses?!
I personally have not been in the GL area for years so I don't know Flannagens but if they serve alcohol - please toast all the moms that are waiting IMpatiently for their PIR.
Congratulations to you Patricia Ann and to your son - now you get to count the HOURS until you see him!
