Tracy, the website is www.gbgrr.org They have more dogs than what is listed, too...so if you're serious, the best thing to do is submit an application then they will talk to you about your particular situation, wants and needs, and will make recommendations to you.

Thanks Terry...oh btw it is not for me. My sister lives in the country "kind of" and she has this humongous yard and she is thinking about a dog and I told her about yours!

LOVED the pic Terry!

OK, so I had my 20th class reunion over the weekend it went really well, and I had a much better time than I thought I would (but the rum most likely had something to do with it!)

I pretty much flitted from one group to another taking a bunch of pics. This is the same way I was in HS.. hung with many different groups but never really a part of ONE.

I had a bad eating night on Friday....... my niece turned 18 and they made homeade wontons........... and I had NO problem eating them.. so without exageration I had NO LESS than 8. I didn't even bother to count.. and no Water to speak of........ not to mention the leftover Cookies from Open Enrolment have been my breakfast..... so today I faced the scale........ 182.4 imagine if I didn't have any water weight.

My mom made me her famous pork burrito's for my birthday and I'm eating the last two today.....

So I've come clean........ here is a pic of me at my reunion!

so, dark hair, yes or no? Never had it this dark....I like it but I need honest opinions.

I like it dark, but I think I like it better lighter. Although don't color it lighter now, cause you will have a mess. If you have ?'s call me, or pm me. Color does not remove color and you will end up with a funny shade of orange!!

Tracyks, that is such a great picture of you and the girls! You truly look like you were having a great time!! I have never been to one of my reunions, keep saying I am going to go, but then don't. I graduated in 81 so my next one is in 3 years?

My nose is seriously running today. I stopped at Walgreens last night and talked to the pharmacist, and he said Zrytec and Sudafed.

Oh well off to get my flu shot, I hope they give it to me. I don't have a cold and hopefully the allergy medicine will kick in then!!

Jane-in all honesty the reason I went so dark is because it was already with that orangy tint....and I felt like trailer trash with the roots growing out and ugh I could not stand it anymore! So, I went with the almost darkest they had that way when it does grow out my roots will not be THAT noticeable. I wish I had the money to go to my lady and have it done but it is a little too money much right now.

I just could not hang with almost orange hair and black roots anymore...even though halloween is coming up i do not wanna look like a pumpkin! lol

Good morning all~

TracyK---across the top of your hair it looks like a lighter streak---I think that is perfect---a few more highlights, and I think it would look great! It makes your skin look flawless!!! My oldest DD and my best friend have both recently went darker! Not so fond of it on my DD, but on Becky it looks amazing!

TracyKS---you look wonderful in your reunion pic! Rick and I had our 30th this summer! We had a blast. My favorite compliment of the night was from a guy I had not seen since a few years out of school, and he told me I had not changed a bit since then! He missed the giant weight mountain I climbed up and down!!! Now I am still 40 pounds heavier than I was in high school, but I looked anorexic then without a doubt! Sad thing is, I tried as hard then to gain as I do now to lose!

Did anyone really surprise you? I was not as surprised by the women who gained weight as I was the men....not sure why I but I was! And this one kid who had a huge--like easily 8" long afro was bald as a cue ball on top!!!

Other surprises were not good ones, I had heard of classmates dying, had even went to services, but had no idea another 2 were now confined to wheelchairs.

Some looked way old, and others had hardly changed at all. Was a lot of fun overall!

And I am SURE you will agree---much easier to attend without the additional 100 pounds.

Jane, be careful of the Zyrtec and work, it makes me soooooo sleepy! It lasts for 24 hours, so I take it at bedtime, and am still groggy from it the next morning! I try to remember it at dinner, then I do pretty well---but my memory is shot!

Terry--when I looked at your necklace you made Judy, I thought the leaf must have been like a bead, an embelishment you bought. I had no idea you cut it out, and made it! OMG! It is beautiful! In Colorado where we went yesterday the shops sell a lot of dipped aspen leaves. When an aspen leaf breaks down, the leaf part crumbles away but often leaves the lacy skeleton of the leaf, and they have them dipped in everything from a gold finish looking stuff to REAL gold! They are so pretty. I am used to seeing them, so I thought that was a similar thing. I am so impressed you made that! Please keep showing us what you make!

It got down to the low 20's here last night, and the snow line is right at us....hope it stays north! Our trees have not dropped leaves yet, and when that has occasionally happened, we have lots of broken tree limbs and a mess! It is hard to rake leaves in the snow!!! Needless to say we have a fire going, Kinsey lays there and tells me, I love to look at the fire, it is pretty. So I told her it is only pretty INSIDE the fireplace!

Guess I better get the little girlie some Breakfast, she just got up again!

Good Morning Ladies~

Terri...I love the pix! You look beautiful and the fam looks happy. Hero is quite a lucky litte guy!!

TracyKS...I love the pix too! You also look great! I missed my reunion and wished I didn't. Glad you had fun!

TracyK...I love that pic and the hair color looks great as well. I TOTALLY agree...got tired of the roots, that is why I went dark red. I like it dark especially for winter.

Well, I am off today...gonna relax and watch TV. My professor called while I was in Reno, then I called her back and she now needs to call me today. I am nervous to hear what she has to say. Wish she would just send me an email. I'll keep you posted.

Have a great day! I love Lucy awaits!

Thanks guys!

Tracy: I like the hair, I think you can truly pull off ANY Hair that you want!!!! I got mine cut again........ I tried to shhh Robby and see if DH would notice... and so far he hasn't said anything....... and he DID shave for the reunion!

[Suziecat 379]

TracyKS, Loved the pictures. Looked like you had a lot of fun. I just recently ran across an old high school friend on Facebook. We have sent several messages back and forth. It's so cool to reconnect.

Having a hard time keeping my eyes open right now. Today was my last Monday to get up at 4:30am. I certainly won't miss it.

Hugs Everyone

That company is charging at my account again! The bank called to tell me....and said they are leaving it open ended to them, that the card is non working otherwise, in an attempt to locate who and where the charges are actually coming from. I am soooooo freaked out by it! I don't like it at all!

I just ordered new checks for that account, they have not even come in yet, but I think tomorrow when the walk in part of the bank is open, I am closing it all together. But I can't until the things we have out, clear.......such a friggin' mess!!!!!!!

This was 10 new charges totalling like 263.57 or something like that, I moved the paper with it wrote down.....

MasterCard said it will be at least 10 business days to decide whether to credit my account for the previous charges or not. These show up on my summary, but do not show up as debited out......with the weekend and the holiday---my 10 days will not be up til this week. I am hoping like heck they give my money back without a big hassle.

Anyway I thought part of it was over and it isn't!!!

[TracyK 3]

Kat that is just so scary! You are so making me rethink using my card all the time. What is a person to do? That is just plain scary!

[TracyK 3]

sure seems different with Judy gone!

I wonder where Laura, Haydee, Terry and michelle and all the other violets are :smile2:

[TracyinKS 7]

drinking my 3rd (30 oz) bottle of water!

Suzie: I'm using the blue Realize band freebie bottle that WLSC was giving away at the walk

[TerriDoodle 6]
