Luis- you don't know how I laughed when I read your words "a parent's advice is sometimes a good thing to follow". I don't know how many times I've told people about my theory with kids-- when they reach a certain age...I figure about 16 or so, they manage to open the top of their skull and they promptly remove the portion of the brain which they would normally use to understand common sense and to think! They place it for safekeeping on a shelf somewhere and when they turn around 21-22 years, they re-install that portion of the brain they had removed....when they do they start to suddenly realize that "wait a minute...maybe dad DID know what he was talking about after all!!!" Keep the faith my friend.....he'll make it...the Navy will see to that!
Now that the 3rd has come and gone you can concentrate on getting ready for your son to ship to Great Lakes Luis! I'm sure the temperature difference will take some getting used to, but I have a feeling that with PT he'll stay pretty warm! Has your boy been doing any running at all? The timed run is a huge hurdle for most recruits so any running he can get will really help. Be sure to check out the two New Bootcamp videos Ron posted a while ago...that'll give him a pretty good feel for what he'll be living like for awhile. paul
Praise the Lord for answered prayer! We rejoice with you in the good news regarding Elizabeth! May the Lord continue to grant His mercy and grace to your family, and to our great country. Blessings, Kevin
Hi Luis, where do you get these crazy ideas? Real pumpkinhead! Anyway, what's up with Elizabeth? Did she go in for the surgery yesterday? Trust all went well, but let us know how to pray. By the way, speaking of prayer, a few families from our church are holding a prayer session Sunday night asking for the Lord to intervene in these dismal-looking days of the election. Perhaps BO will loose his concentration and say something really stupid and offensive, and scare the undecideds away...either way, it's in the Lord's hands. Happy Reformation Day! Kevin
I am happy to hear your son made the decision to join recently I am sure he will not regret it. I would love to ansure any questions for you just let me know.
Hey Wild Man, sorry I've been away for a while. I missed the news about your daughter, how may I pray for her and you? How is Trouble doing? Isn't he enlisting soon? Keep in touch! Blessings, Kevin
Luis- I think this is a great validation of the power of faith and support. You, your daughter, and your familiy are in our continued prayers. Keep the faith bro' and I am sure He will insure a fast recovery for your littel girl! My best regards- Paul
Luis, I will pray for your little girl, Elizabeth, I know you are going through a really hard time, and I pray all works out well. Keep your faith, and know God is with you and your family. Tell Elizabeth to stay positive!!! God Bless!!
Thank you Luis for your understanding. It is very frustrating when you get your paycheck and it is already gone and then you hear the candidates talking about how they are going to make health care available to everyone - everything I hear isn't going to make it affordable therefore unavailable to my family. Obama saying tax cuts to those making less than $250,000 a year, dang! if I made even $50,000 a year I would feel rich! I live a very humble life so being able to go out to the movies once or twice a month with my children is a big luxury, or having a special dinner out once a week, or attending a Nascar race once a year, or even being able to give gifts and parties for their birthdays would all qualify as big luxuries in our lives. I sometimes say 'oh well' to a bill and do something special with the girls just because having all that taken away in the last 4 years takes its toll on a mom's heart. I could go on and on with the sacrificing we have been doing and it would probably blow you away because most households would crumble at the seams without the smallest luxuries like 'state of the art computers' (my computer is a mega dinosaur still with only 10GB hard drive hehehe). So with the hypocracy in both parties I just might vote for Nader. . . .?? Yeah everyone forgets the other candidate and also their right to put a 'write-in candidate' on their ballot. HAPPY 233rd BIRTHDAY NAVY!!!
I can be patient and I appreciate you sending them. I'm sure it's a large task and I do have a job, which is more than some have. I'll keep working until I find something else. Thanks again.
The discussions that you started. 2008 Elections and yours truly and the homeless 2008 elections in the forum. I would like you and john to post those comments in the new political group. That way I can contain it all together. You probably saw as I did how the political talk go out of hand on n4m's in the beginning. So I would like to have it all in one place for people to view and discuss. I just don't want it to get out of hand. You and John have done great debating. I love it but I'm worried about someone new coming in and ruining it for everyone that is behaving. I just want to have a handle on things in case they get out of hand quickly. Thanks ttyl
Hey Luis ~ Quick question for you. Awhile back, you sent out a blanket email asking us if we knew of credible work at home websites for your wife. Did you get any response? If so, I'd love to know what those sites are. Hope your fantasy football team is doing well. God Bless!
hey bro. What's up? thanks for the invitation to become your friend! how are you doing? When will Luis be going to Boot camp? How is he? And what will he do in the Navy? keep in touch and I expect to hearing more from you! Godbless
I'm with Kevin; Wild Man! Is it a disorder? compulsive disorder? or what? Luis you keep me entertained. Keep em coming. How's trouble doing? Gotta love that win over the Pats. My Saints lost!
