Good to see someone reading these days. I'll send you a signed copy of my next one when it's done.

Happy Easter if you guys celebrate. I had one Cadbury egg, handful of jelly beans and two peeps. For old times sake.

Good morning, everyone. Today is Monday April 21st.

JosieD · 04-21-2025, 06:45 AM

The boys and Mr JD have off today. I have to go to work and I would prefer to stay home.

I get a ton of junk email and have been unsubscribing to them recently. They all keep coming from the same source.

I received a piece of physical mail SAturday from TMobile using my birth Surname. I was adopted by my mom's husband and took Zinck in 1974.

Weird seeing the mail

I posted this in the vintage card thread that doesn't get many views.
I am so glad that even as a kid I had the idea to save these things.

Not a recent pickup but a great memory:

I have had this program, newspaper cutout and ticket stub for 52 years now. At the end of the 1973 season, Hank Aaron was approaching Babe Ruth's all-time home run record of 714. The Atlanta Braves were in Houston to play the Astros in a weekend two game homestand and my Dad got both of us tickets for both games. We got to see him hit #712 on Saturday night and he didn't play on Sunday. I remember there being a million flashbulbs going off with every swing. We didn't bring a camera - we just watched! It's easily one of my most vivid sports memories! In the Sunday game, the Astros were destroyed 10-2 but we got to see Don Wilson pitch for the Astros. Wilson died a little over a year later along with his son.

I think its really beneficial to have a third party involved that accepts them for who they and where their at in that moment then walk along side them without any judgment. Go in knowing they are going to have set backs and thats ok as long as they are committed to recognizing that and keep trying to move forward.

I agree, but she never believes she has a problem and is willing to get any real help.

I have been using the electronic one my wife uses and it has been normal all 3 days so far. It was highest yesterday and that was 121/71. That's nowhere near what it was at the doctor's office on Thursday or the recorded one from the Gastrologist on the same portal they use.

The kids picked it themselves. The league allows the kids to pick their own team name every season; probably because they only have 2 teams at his level.

That's pretty cool.

The oldest SD never showed up yesterday (her car is having gear issues and needs to be towed to the dealer was the excuse), so there was very little to no drama. Only sibling stuff between the youngest SD and my son. Even the middle and youngest were talking wedding stuff which has been a stinking point in the past.
