How DID We Survive? — Page 95

Hey all..thanks again for all the warm thoughts for JoAnn...she's is doing great and is already home...she's a real fighter.

BTW brdlwyr..I was the 2nd of 4 and that's about the only picture of me at that age....so I understand. My older brother I can wall paper Madison Square Garden with his baby pictures.

El... you need to get at least one of those pictures from your Mom. Cookie and KMF better post some of their baby pictures..I can just imagine how cute they were !!!

---

Thanks brdlwyr...JoAnn was named after her Mom and Dad....Joe and Angie...and she has both of them in her....her sweetness from her dad and her strength from her Mom.
God bless your Mom..10 kids...she must have the patience of a Saint.

LOL !!! No brdlwyr...Liam and me usually PM each other, but he can't seem to PM me and wanted to ask me something...unless he's taking classes with Beacon? Hmmmm..gotta watch out for that sweet Mormon girl.

Cookie....Is there a picture of you ringing a bell??? LOL !!! I know you had to be the most adorable baby.

Hugs and kisses all around. XOXOOXOXOOXOXOX

On a happy note.... Only 3 days till Spamalot!! (joy!)

Hey there, BG! Sorry you're not feeling well - I'm home today too, with a midlife crisis.

Anyway, what do you think that was a picture of???

---

I'm 42. I can't speak for the general population.

---

I was having midlife crises in my 20's.

A picture of him holding the day's newspaper buried underground somewhere with a bomb tied to him. Who knows?

---

Ugh! You've got a gory one.

---

May I also join in on the midlife crisis? #42 will be on April 30th. (Actually 42 is the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe and Everything!)

---

Mom - you had your children young?? When I am 42 my oldest will be 15.

Yes I had my kids young!! Dave and I both come from large families he was #5 of 7, and I was #6 of 6. (I lost a sibling to SIDS before I was born) We liked having the energy to chase them around and now we even have some energy for the granddaughter!
