It is in the 70's today and I feel so bad for those of you enduring the awful winter that has come your way. It should pass soon I hope. :heartbeat:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but do there seem to be a lot of injuries and athletes falling in the Olympics this year?

Well, he didn't think he did fine :sigh:
He forgot to take his ADD medication and he felt he messed up two of the three questions they asked him- "why he wants to attend their college" and one question about "diversity".
We talked about his group interview (14 other candidates- interviewed by the college admissions officer and an alumni) after he came out. I just knew something was wrong. He only wanted to talk about it briefly because he was so upset, but I kept pressing because I thought he might forget what happened at the interview. He needed to talk about it and let it all out, IMO.
I thought he did well with the question about "diversity" and his volunteer experience, but not so well on the "why their college" part. (and we talked and reviewed his reasons for 2 weeks :sigh. I know him- he fumbles when he is very nervous and maybe he didn't come across as confident as he should have and didn't say what he really wanted to say.
The interview was suppose to take 1 1/2 hours, but because there were so many candidates, the interview lasted over 2 hours and seemed rushed to my son (and he was the second to speak).
My son felt inadequate because all the other candidates had much more experience (work and volunteer) than he did. Some spent field work in Africa, did research and co-published papers, attended conferences, etc. Because of his ADD, he couldn't volunteer/work and get good grades at the same time.
He doesn't want to bring up his ADD (which is a disability in school's eyes). He also said that everyone sounded very confident when they spoke.
He also said that the boys/men dressed more formally than he did (he wore khaki's and a button down white polo shirt)- some wore suits or shirts with ties. I thought he looked fine just as he was- after all, this wasn't a job interview where a suit is sort-of mandatory.
I think his standards for his self are so rigid (in his mind) on what is appropriate and what is not (he's really a great person, IMO) and he doesn't give his self a break- why I don't know because I don't ever expect perfection from him or anyone.
The college has 44 openings to fill and 2 more interview dates and they said they would let everyone know in the beginning of March who would be accepted.
He also said that the hour ride to the college was tedious (but he thought that was probably because he didn't take his pill).
I cried on the ride home, but didn't let him see. He was very agitated.
So now we wait. :sigh:
This is my favorite one.......

We grew up with music, it was always on. I almost missed meeting a very special lady one night when I went with my mother to an Oral Roberts revival. Came home and met Pasty Cline. My mother played the piano, my father the guitar, and she sang. It was wonderful. I remember them crying when we heard she'd died.

This was the best music to dance and clean house to. My DH loved to watch me clean.

Neesaki dogs are God's angels. I was in a bad place about seven years ago, and my little girl stayed with me, by me and would put her paw on me and look into my eyes. I told her then she was one of His angels and thanked her for taking care of me. Ms.MonaLou and her brother Sport, will be nine in April, I don't even want to think of either one of them gone. She sleeps next to me with her head on my pillow. She forgets she's a dog sometimes.
Anna has a big ole girl and Eva has watched over her many times. Anna is bi polar and Eva knows when she needs help. She talks like Lurch on the Adams Family, and will come find my husband or me when she thinks Anna needs help or someone around. I babysit her everyday when Anna's at work ,and during the day on weekends she comes over to play. She'll be happy to be back at grandma's.
Anna and I were eating Chinese in her bedroom one night and MonaLou went to her bowl, got a mouth full of food, came back, put it on the floor and "ate" with us.
How was your trip?
I agree, Bendpages. Dogs are God's angels. :angel:
My trip was great, we so did not want to come home, lol. Thanks for asking. Still lovin' the music, girl .... :seeya:

I cannot confirm this, but discussion on the Juan Martinez Support Page (Facebook) sounds like JA grandfather died in the last few days.... ??
Was it OK to post this here?
Hi everyone! :wave:
Great jokes, YesorNo! Going to share them with my other "imaginary" friends!! LOL!
No, I don't believe JA :jail: will be leaving the jail for her GF's funeral... Had she not gone crazy and killed Travis, she might have!
Had a "Joint Replacement" class before my hip surgery yesterday at the hospital! Turns out my doctor will be doing an anterior surgery (coming in from the front) opposed to posterior; I will not have any rehab restrictions, i.e. I get to cross my legs, bend over! Looks like they start rehab the next day after surgery!! :silenced: :crazy:
Hope all is well with everyone!! No one else here but me.... :seeya:
Oh, YorN, this reminds me much of my son. He was also labeled as ADD at an early age. I helped him endlessly throughout his early years of schooling. He just had problems with sticking to things, you know ? Then, it ended up with me homeschooling him through his high school years because he hated school so much, lol. But then afterward, he made it just fine through junior college, then finished his Bachelors at the University as well. These kids like him are so smart, they just don't fit into the "cookie cutter" mold that the schools try to place them in. Shame on them is all I can say... it is easier for them to label anyone who doesn't fit into their "mold" . Ok, I won't get on my soap box, lol. Anyway, he thought he wanted to pursue his masters degree, but then decided that "that" was too boring and tedious and discovered it wasn't what he really wanted. So he now works with his father in the family business, and is thriving. He seems to have found his niche . I know your son will as well. :seeya:
