Good Morning Lynne . Coffee is good and feeling much better thank you. Sunny day here and warm start to the morning.
Chuckers a big panda high five back at you. Enjoy your weekend off.
Off to run some errands.
Happy new mower tink.........glad Trey enjoys helping you so much......except for the weird bit.......I'd avoid that too I think.........

Back home tomorrow as a Friday I have a day out with one of my best friends........love days with her.
And going back home to order a new dishwasher.......DS told us ours has given up the ghost.......think we're supposed to be happy if appliances last 5 years now.

29 days for me. 3 until I can finally do FP for the one day I'm at Disney to see Pandora (I bought Avatar at HPB for $4 since I've never seen it. Will watch this weekend probably)
So we ate at Rose & Crown pub our last full day at Disney (Epcot-WS UK pavilion). Had bangers and mash, fish and chips, cottage pie and something called "bubble and squeak". Our server had to explain what that was-Disney version is with fresh food though-it was delicious!
Who is going to be in Orlando 10/7-10/11? may try to sneak over to Uni for a meet up if possible-need to check out Toothsome!
Okay, I knew I had slacked off when the first new post I read said "Good Morning. It's a Monday"...so, I had some catching up to do.
I hope all you short-timers have fun...when the time arrives.
Would love to be hanging out with all of you that are going to be at UOR in October, but high school football starts full bore tomorrow night...and doesn't let up until at least the middle of November...hopefully longer. It is going to be so odd not having our oldest playing any longer, because he graduated, but the youngest looks to be impressing the coaches and has started all of the scrimmages and jamboree games. He is getting playing time because the first stringer has been injured...he is back to start the regular season, but the youngest is looking at being a two year starter after this season...which is awesome. This is going to be a really difficult and odd year for the team...because of sports politics in this state, private schools are really being hit hard with regulations and rules they have to follow that make things a bit unfair...but life is not fair. They have been moved up in classification and will have to play all larger schools in their region...and their out of region games are going to be even harder...there are two divisions of private schools in TN, in our division, you cannot recruit or give student athletes any financial assistance...and in the other you can do both. 3 of our 4 non-region games are against schools in the second division. The fourth is against a school that is 2 classifications larger than we are. So, not gonna be the best record, but we should still make the playoffs.
Lynne, I cannot believe high school starts in 3 weeks, there...we are already at the end of our third week, here. College kicks off in a week and a half, so those are in-sync.
Mac, keep on trucking...er...walking! Hope you get stronger day by day.
Taking off tomorrow to get some sleep...after the football game, tomorrow night, we are driving to NC (about 5 hours) for my in-laws' 50th Anniversary celebration...then back home on Sunday morning.
Have a good finish to the week and a good weekend.
Hope you get rid of the ickies soon!Luggage
I keep telling myself time to buy a new one
That has been in my list for two years
Want a hard case
Have a Mickey hard case but it is 24 or 25 inch and dies not hold enough
Want a 28 or 29 inch and only take that
Large purse will handle what I do not pack
Icky day for me
Won't be posting much today
My kids football coaches from pee-wee up to semi pro teams. Are you saying your son is a junior? Have him hit the weight room every opportunity, including off-season; tends to impress the coaches when the call is close. Good luck!
Going to guess you have a state agency issuing edicts. They are supposed to police the roster up front to make sure everyone on the up & up but here it's of the catch me if you can type of thing. Any discrepancies will pop up in the playoffs when everything is checked closely and games will be automatically forfeited by violators.
A huge controversy here. The rules are absolutely no recruiting and year sitting out if moving to district to 'play sports', but the parochial schools routinely give tuition assistance.
I see both sides of the issue, but it's mighty suspicious when a out of town 'ringer' pops up to live with some 2nd cousin, twice removed.
He is a sophomore and, this week, he was officially named the backup to the Offensive Right Guard and the Defensive Middle Linebacker. So, if he keeps it up, he should be the starter in is Junior and Senior years. Yeah, I get what you mean about all of the funny business within high school sports...we faced a team, in the third round of the playoffs, last year, that had three new kids that all had Alabama home addresses. They were all seniors and were allowed to play on a public Tennessee team (you can play on any private school team you choose, but you have to be zoned to a specific public school...and nobody out of state is zoned for a Tennessee school). We had beaten them the year before, in the same round, but got trounced this past year. That's about as extreme as I have seen the TSSAA turn a blind eye, but again, life is not fair, so we go on. On the other hand, we have a kid that enrolled in our school in 6th grade, and ended up repeating 6th grade...he is now a High School Freshman, and has been declared ineligible because he repeated. I had never heard of any rules that were retroactive long before a kid ever reached High School...oh, did I mention that Division I private schools really have no representation on the TSSAA board...supposedly, the Division II board members speak for all private schools. Heck, there were no private school board positions until, I think, 3 or 4 years ago. They are really trying to push all private schools into the same bucket with a bunch of new regulations, so I see a near future transition of private schools all leaving TSSAA and forming their own league.
Pseudo-football related...my boys' cousin, who is a senior at the same school, was name Homecoming Queen, this morning...so that's exciting.
