I met Johnny Bench, who was my baseball idol growing up. Somewhere, I have a picture of me and him. Cost me $25 (actually, my friend paid for it). I think I have the picture hidden away. I was actually "thin(er)" then!"

I don't know anything about wrestling. Well, at least the type of wrestling that you are talking about!!! :wink:

The winter Olympics starting this Friday :smile: I got my mittens and love them

Any place to get these locally? I saw the shipping was $15.

Are those a Canadian item or an Olympic item? Hudson Bay usually makes the jackets/coats/etc for opening and closing ceremonies, but the mittens could be just an Olympic item seeing it's held in Canada.

I saw the shipping charge too and decided against them. They're cute. With a little more time I could knit a pair.

I ordered 3 pair to help minimize the shipping....give a pair to each daughter for valentines day :smile: since they're red...had thought about ordering the max..5 pair ... but didn't - shoulda I guess could sold them to you guys ...oh well...

Cute idea!

I would have bought a pair from you. Adding $15 to buy only one pair upped the price a little too much.

They were on the Hudson Bay Company website.

Yeah - that's where I ordered them from too...order 5 pairs - you should be able to sell them

Having the honor to award my son Ben and two of his friends the Arrow of Light award at Cub Scouts tonight - then watching them cross-over into Boy Scouts... :grin:

Arrow of Light is great award - are they going to stick with it and try to get Eagle someday? That means lots of camping and other activities for you, too.

Hearing from two separate people today, each of whom said they want to come and visit me!

These are good friends from my way past.

One was my neighbor when I was in grade school. We reconnected a couple of years ago, and now are in touch on Facebook.

The other was my closest friend in my nursing school class, who left the twin cities not long after graduation, has lived in Texas, California, and now lives in Colorado Springs, but she will be in Wausau next week to help her elderly parents and might find herself with about 48 hours to spare. Other than an occasional quick brunch together if we both happen to be in the cities, I haven't seen much of her in 25 years.

I was apart of an ESOP company. It's great when the company is doing well since your dividends are paid in shares so you make money on the money you already made on your 401k. But you also lose money both ways when the company tanks. It's just as risky and not that big of a deal.

Finding 3 Powerball tickets while cleaning out my computer desk to net me $30 I didn't know I won. :cool:

Then bought $28 in Megabucks lottery tickets to support my local government. :neutral:

Now I have the same numbers for both big ones for the next two months. (+$2)

Enjoy: something i never thought i'd say - john cena winning the elimination chamber match last night (because it meant that Shemus is no longer champ)

also enjoy: another thing i never thought i'd say - batista beating cena, less than 5 minutes later.

they both suck, but cena sucks more.

Thank goodness for honest co-workers!

We hosted a big luncheon today and I was working at registration.. my co-worker came to ask a question and after I answered he said - here you might need this (as he handed me his tic tacs) - Thank God for honesty - I would have been more embarrassed if I had offended a guest! :ooh:

I like that stuff too. I can't stand it when I look in a mirror and have something in my teeth or hanging from my nose and the 30 people I just seen didn't say a thing.

Thanks friends :eyeroll:

Well as long as we're being honest....CM your right arm is distustingly hairy and needs a shave, the left ones falling off, and that dress is really ugly. But your hair looks very nice.

Yeah, I'll miss having them on in the background while doing other stuff.

I guess I'll have to find something else to have on.. PBS maybe? I'm not all that into sports other than some of the olympics stuff anyway.

BTW, enjoy paying my posting fee so I can be here another year, heh.
