Hey Connie....sorry to hear about the rough time you have been having. Its definitely contagious. I hope things get better for you soon. Thats cool about your older son, thats a very respectable job and I bet you are very proud of him. Awesome news about Bret not having any seizures!

Barb....glad you had a good time, I cant wait to see your pictures!

Kalen...thats a funny story about stubbing your toe. Somehow it doesnt surprise me one bit that it was Courtney who knocked it over!! I wish I had been at both shows with yall too! I could have run like the wind and saved you a spot on the front row center!! Thats all Im good for at shows. I should really start charging yall for doing that. lol As for DWTS....Kelly Osbourne is my fav bc of her personality and bc Louie is her partner and I LOVE LOUIE!! I dont think Derek is on drugs....I just think he is a natural spaz. I have been watching Vampire Diaries....but Im not liking it much at all anymore. The first 2 episodes were ok but now after 3....its getting to be too much. Too corny and stupid. Im not sure how much longer I will continue to watch it.

Steff.....I hope everything is still going ok with you these days!!


HOWDY TO EVERYONE ELSE!! I hope yall are having a great week....its the weekend now!

Ive been watching new music videos on cmt.com and I have to say....Miranda Lambert is growing on me a lot, Jennifer Nettles is still a hottie and looks AWESOME in their new video but the video reminds me too much of the "Stay" video, I regretfully have to say Im starting to like Carrie Underwood more....but I think its mostly just bc her legs are HOT, and Kenny's new video is good except I think its about time he stop playing up the fact he was so "AWESOME" to sing in the rain for us! lol I loved him for it....but I can only take him playing it up so much, its getting annoying now. WE KNOW YOU DID A GOOD THING.....DROP IT NOW! Aside from that.....He does look really good in his white shirt on the beach. woo hoo.

I need a concert.

Oh. I forgot to ask....all you people who went and saw Gary in OK.....where are the GARY stories?!?! lol Did yall not get any good juicy attention to share with us. What about his tattoo....anyone get any pics of it? Kelli sent me one but all you can see is one side that goes up his neck. I really want to see the full thing!

Alicia, I posted my pictures over in Tour Talk but I will post them here too. I know Kalen got some pictures too but not sure if she has them uploaded yet. She hasn't been feeling good since last weekend. Hope she is better now!

Same thing happened at this one that happened at LSP. Manda also has a huge bruise on her leg from the pole that was knocked down. I tripped on it but no bruises. Are you still wanting to go to the Dallas show? I haven't decided who is my favorite so far on DWTS. I have a feeling Derek and the model will probably win it. I watched all the new videos out today and really like Miranda's. I think I'm going to buy her new cd off itunes. I liked Kenny's too! I thought it was kind of fun to look back on that night even though we were miserable, at least I was!

Anybody watching Flash Forward?

I'm off to Thackerville again tonight to see Jason Aldean.

Hey All...

Hey Alicia did you watch Supernatural yet??? You should've love last nights episode...I won't tell ya why though, in case you haven't watched it yet... Didn't you also say that you liked Dollhouse (it's on tonite)???
BTW...Totally annoys me that "VDiaries" is still on the air; but they canceled "TBLife" after ONLY 2 episodes!!!

Connie...REALLY happy for your son...The medical aspect...not the school thought process...LOL!

Bren (right?)& Barb...I was gonna watch FForward...But, then I decided it looked too much like it was easy to be "totally lost" if you missed an episode, so I decided against it...

Kalen...(my dumb toe story ) My family is alway messin' w/me about losing my shoes at concerts..The weird thing is...for ALL the concerts I've ended up barefoot at , the ONLY time I've ever had my toes stepped on was by my own niece!!! Apparantly toes/feet & friends/family DO NOT mix!!! LOL!!!
(About the stampede)...Isn't that the "exact" reason they "outlawed" "festival" seating years ago...People were getting trampled by people trying to get a better spot!!!

Happy Friday to All & to all a goodnight!!! (just couldn't help myself...after all the holidays are upon us )

Hey Junkies. I say this *knocking on wood* but I feel a bit better doay. Still congested but not nearly as bad as I was earlierr this week.

I'm so glad there are some other GH junkies around. I too have been watching since before I was in kindergarten right about the time Luke & Laura were in their heyday. I mostly fast forward through the shows now a days but I have some of my favorite parts I still watch.

alicia-sorry to report that there really aren't that many juicy stories to share. There are some, nothing major, but I'm not about to put them on here. Friday night was by far the best show with more happening but Gary was very elusive this trip. Poor Courtney just wanted a pic with the man and he was NO WHERE to be seen with conflicting reports as to where he was. And, believe me, it wasn't for lack of trying! Saturday's show was wierd! Like I said before, the line to get down into the dirt, the sound, the fact that I wasn't standing by anyone that I had gone with. Believe me, I thought about your crazy speed when that cattle gate opened. lol. I took pics of his new tatoo but you really can't see much except for barbed wire. I got one really good one from all that you could see peeking out of shirt. You can see the wire and it looks like a green hand is hanging onto it. It's on my FB in the GFA album. There's pics in there from the Miami show we went to and the double header weekend.

TV: Everyone asked about FlashForward, I watched the first episode last week and really liked it. I might have a crush on the lead guy Josef Finnes. I've DVRd last nights show. I'm kinda losing interest in DWTS. Not sure why. I think it's because the stars on the show aren't that interesting to me. I can't believe this whole story with David Letterman. I'm LOVING The Vampire Diaries! LOVE IT! Maybe it's just because I have no other vampy show to watch right now but I really really like it. So far Grey's is kinda boring me as well. I still like Yang's storylines with the new doc and I like seeing more McDreamy My new favorite though is Mercy. It's on NBC on Wednesdays at 7. Very cheesy and kinda overacted at times by the main female lead but I like it. Plus, it has the guy from Men In Trees on it and he's one sexy canadian! I also like Modern Family and Couger Town. Both funny.

On another note of TV...what is the deal with Jon Gosselin?????? I mean, SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!? I don't get him. I don't understand him he seems to be lost. I just think he's the biggest tool bag ever. Even bigger than Kanye West.

Barb-I'm kinda jealous of you seeing Jason Aldean tonight. You'll have to tell me if you had the same kind of experience this time as last week with the cameras, rushing the stage and such.

Bren-I'll be tweeting you tomorrow night for sure! BOOMER SOONER!!!

TGIF, y'all! Have a great weekend!!

Hey everybody! I planned on coming and posting reviews after last weekend, but 2 of my kiddos came home on Sunday sick. I took them to the doc on Monday and they both have H1N1! So it has been a crazy week for me. I had school I couldn't miss and I even got sick, but not sure I had what they did. They have been out of school all week and my hubby has been home as well. I think everybody is getting cabin fever!

I had a great time at both shows last week! It was so good seeing some junkie friends again and meeting some new ones! Alicia, I was going to call you during Alright Guy, but when I looked at my phone I realized I don't have your number anymore! When I lost my phone last month, I lost all my numbers! Ugh! I need to recover the ones I don't have. Losing a phone sucks! Anyway, I also thought of you Saturday when we had to run to the stage. I was hoping somebody was recording from the stands and we were gonna see it on PLEASE READ POSTING POLICY! As much as it sucked, it had to look funny to everybody! Thankfully my hubby is fast and secured my spot on the stage! I wish we could have gotten you up there Kalen! One of the girls in my class said she saw me and was talking about that one girl who was so rude to everybody. She said everybody around her didn't like her. lol I just don't understand some people. Oh well. I still had a blast and am ready for another Gary weekend! My pics are on my facebook and myspace for those who are on there.

Brenda, have fun at the game tomorrow but Boomer Sooner! ;o)

Vickie, I thought I saw you at Thackerville but I remembered reading on here that you weren't going so I thought I was wrong. Dangit, I would have said hi!

Have fun tonight Barb!

Crystal-I can't believe your kids had H1N1!!!!! Wow! I'm glad everyone seems to be feeling better in your house. I bet everyone has cabin fever. lol. So, this girl that you know who saw you at the OKC show, was she in the dirt with us or what? Do you know who she was talking about being rude? I had fun anyway and I was glad that you Jen and Donnie stayed in the room with me on Friday.

I was just snooping around elsewhere on here and found a thread with this Gary radio interview. Here's the link to it: ttp://www.cmtradiolive.com/audio-video/ It's kinda short but it's Gary doing an interview and that doesn't happen very often. lol. The more interviews I hear with him lately, it's like he literally has NO IDEA what is going on with his "name" except for his touring and music. LOL! I don't know why I find that so funny. I'm sure he's not the only one too. I know when I mentioned to Dierks in July and said I would be seeing him in NOrman in September, he had no clue about that date. Anyway, just thought I"d post it in here in case no one had seen it.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I am doing ABSOLUTELY nothing so far. Not sure I like it but I'm dealing.

Barb....AWESOME pictures! Makes me wish I was there even more now. Same thing that happened at LSP.....as in....the young blonde concert buddy situation?? What happened this time around, same as last time? If you dont want to say it on here just PM me with the story. I dont think anyone wasnt miserable at the first Kenny Frisco show! And if they werent miserable....they were DRUNK! Have fun at the Jason Aldean show!!

Laura....Im glad you didnt say anything about Supernatural bc I havet gotten to see it yet. That will be the first show I watch though on Monday when I go over to my parents house to get all caught up on my Tivoed shows. Now that you say Im going to love it....Im dreaming of a shirtless Jensen in my near future!! Yes, I watched Dollhouse last season....its being Tivoed but I havent gotten around to watching it yet.

Crystal....DANG!! I hope both of your kids get better soon. You are the first person I know that has had direct contact with it. Scary. They are going to be fine though, right? Congrats on being front row at the show.....how did Donnie like the show? Did he have fun?


Kalen....if you dont want to tell juicy stories on here, then PM me! lol I need my excitement somehow! I need to live vicariously through all of you guys.

The most excitement in my life right now is being $100 over my credit card limit (and no money to pay it)....owing about $600 towards my phone bill anyone know how much strippers make on average?? )....and getting to meet Morgan's mom tomorrow!! She finally found out about me through Morgan and flipped her lid....she is INSISTING that we meet up bc she wants to talk to me, so tomorrow is more than likely going to be that day!! WISH ME LUCK!

Well....everyone have fun for the rest of the weekend!

LMAO!! That's funny Kalen! I am so sorry! It just seems like I just end up doing something completely different than I plan! But hopefully, Riverwind will come up soon and we can get together again!!!

Yep...it was a last minute change of plans!! Sorry I missed you girl!! I did say hi to Jenny tho!

Here's hoping that everyone who has had that nasty old flu bug gets better real soon!!!

NO Flu bug here. *nock on wood!* I do however have some major allergies. So much snot! sorry that's really gross but I seriously wonder how in the eff it all comes about.

Alicia-nothing really juicy or too exciting to tell. I could PM you but there reallly isn't anything that great to share. Just the usual run ins. I was wondering what your status were about when the "Fit hit the shan" ( I hate that song by the way) Interesting. But, I have to tell you, I'd be pretty upset too if my child had been spending so much time, and even sleeping in the same bed, as you have been with her. Bo should have told her a really long time ago. But, that's my opinion. I'm sure it will be fine once you all talk though. It's been my experience that the women usually deal better with each other.

I went to our fair today and walked around for a bit. I don't ride rides because of my neck but I enjoy going. I'll be back there on Friday for Blake's concert and I get to meet him again! Everyone have a good Monday

Under the gross topic...
My sinus' were "killing" me last week...The Musicex ccrap was helping, but not enough...I ended up getting a "fine" nasal sprayer...I emptied out the stuff that came in it, and refilled it with saline water...My sinus' still aren't great, but they are WAY better than they were 4 days ago...Just thought I'd share!!!

Also...Crystal...I forgot to tell you hope your kids get to feeling better...

Alicia...Don't think you'll be disappointed with Supernatural!

Someone just pointed out to me that Chicago was 10 days away!!! So now I'm a "yippy-skippy" mood!!!

Hey to everyone else...

Hey guys!!

Alicia..that stinks about all of your bills..have you been looking for a job yet?

Crystal and Courtney...sorry about the kiddos having the H1N1....i've had quite a few patients with it...been directly exposed twice but never caught it yet...which is pretty amazing since I always catch some bug!

All you Sooner fans...I had soooo much fun with you guys last night..it makes these games more fun when you have other fans involved...It was crazy in the stadium and we met some great people while tailgating...We didn't get back home til 430am...but that ride home was soooo sweet!

I started watching Flashforward and I'm liking it...so far and I def have a crush on Joseph Fiennes...Courtney Cox is hilarious in Cougar Town..What does everybody think about Greys?

Barb hope you had a great time @ Jason Aldean concert...

Hope everybody has a great week!

Kalen....CONGRATS ON GETTING TO MEET BLAKE AGAIN!!

There is more to the story with Morgan's mom. She honestly isnt mentally stable. I can understand her having a certain amount of jealousy towards any other woman in her daughters life but as long as I treat Morgan well and do something stupud like try to get her to call me mommy, I feel like thats all that should matter. Especially when you look at the fact that she is already remarried and Morgan calls her husband "Daddy Norbert"....so how is that any different from Bo having a woman in his life? She acts like she expects Bo to be single forever....and actually tries to make it that way. She isnt used to it though....out of her FOUR other kids (she is only 26yrs old), one is with her current husband, 2 dont see their dad very often bc he lives in another state so she doesnt have to think about him having a woman, and the other kids dad has NOTHING to do with it.....so Bo is the only one where she has to actually deal with him having a woman.

Im sure Courtney understands how I feel more than anyone since she is a stepmom.

Laura....You were right, I liked Supernatural. I was expecting some more SHIRTLESS Dean or something, but I guess having double the Dean is second best. I caught up on Dollhouse today too, its pretty good so far this season.

Bren....Well, today my dad helped me out A LOT with my bills. He paid my entire phone bill (which was actually $718) and gave me cash for gas to find a job. I havent started looking yet bc I was in "a funk" for awhile and just couldnt seem to find the energy to get out there and look. Tomorrow I am going into SERIOUS job hunting mode though....my goal is to be hired on SOMEWHERE before the day is up. Im hoping since my dad has helped me out a lot now....if I can get a job soon then Im thinking the Dallas show is probably do-able. I really need to get out of here....I need to see my junkies and just have FUN for a day.

Well....I will talk to yall later! I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Ok I just caught up on 2 pages of reading since I have not been on... Winstar show was great...Nothing "juicy" just the same stuff as buffalo run(to-Alicia) we did get to go in and check out the set about 2 hrs before the show thx to my "friend" so we knew we were up against the ropes...which sucked but my big ole booty had no problem knocking them down. OKC was not so fun, I got seperated from everyone i was there with =[ ended up standing next to these dumb girls that where talking &#^#% the whole time we were in the dirt line... Mandy's daughter got trampled and stepped on...all that aside i was on the stage and could've grabbed his.....**&* if I wanted, but i didn't want to get thrown out =/ The sound was NO BUENO! but the closeness of it was nice. Apparently people up in the seats couldn't hear very well either.

As for TV...Im hooked on Lie to me* anyone else??? I love it!!

ALicia, with the step mom thing, just hang in there, it was tough for me before the boys mom really knew me. I understand both sides. We never did the "sleep in the bed" thing because he didn't think it was right. Which is fine for me because I am not a big fan of kids in the bed.... However, I have been forced a few times to rethink how I feel about a situation and remember that the boys are her and his children, I am not the parent and ultimately what happens to them is their decision, and my feelings about it are only an opinion. However, he is Mo's dad and if he is ok with it, then it is up to him to talk to her mom. I dont know if they were married or not, but I know in my ex's divorce decree it actually stated that no one of the opposite sex could spend the night in the presesnce of the children unless the parent was remarried. All that being said...Being a stepmom is hard...just do what is right and you will be fine. She is going to try to push your buttons. I would just let Bo handle her, you have no tie to her nor do you owe her any explanations.

Next, work is BUSY...babies everywhere I swear...which is fine though because that means more money for me and lord knows I need it since I am headed to Nashville and Vegas....And am currently being persuaded into going to Dallas...

School is good, I am not really "filling it" this semester but hopefully I will make it through.

Hope everyone else is doing great! Sorry I have been MIA but I have had some issues with the hubby with Gary related things...so i have been trying to back off a bit!

Hey everybody! Hope you are all having a good week!

Both of my kids are fine. They went back to school this week and are much better! There are actually quite a few people I know personally that have it now, so that sucks. I feel you on the allergies Kalen, mine were crazy last week! Ragweed is down now so I'm feeling better!

I don't know if my classmate was on the dirt, I'm assuming so though. The rude girl she was talking about...well 2 words: orange shirt. lol Yes Alicia, Donnie had a blast. This was his second and third show though. His first was at Riverwind last year I believe, when he got his autograph. He definitely understands why I love his concerts. Yes Courtney, it did suck that everybody got seperated. I think you were on the opposite side of the stage as me. They definitely did not handle all of that very well!

Alicia, sounds like you have great parents! I'm glad they helped you. I hope you find a job quickly and can get back into your concert going! Hope to see you at a Gary show soon!

Bren, that was fun! The game sucked for us, but it was still fun going back and forth with you. Glad you had a good time at the game though!

Courtney....thanks for the little pep talk. I just wish Morgan's mom would high tail it to Hawaii along with your step babies mamma. The whole situation wouldnt be so bad but the lady is just unpredictable and is more worried about how she feels than her daughters feelings. This last weekend while Morgan was here...after being with her mom for a whole week of knowing about me.....she came back here and was saying some things that her momma has been saying. I understand if her mom has a problem with me but she shouldnt be telling Morgan things. You could tell she was just repeating things her mom was saying bc she wouldnt ACT any different towards me....so I know she didnt mean the things she said, she was just repeating what was said by her mom. Heck the day before Bo was supposed to go get her for the weekend her mom called him and was going OFF about how she cant handle it anymore and to come get Morgan NOW and keep her for good. Not a couple hours later she called back and had changed her mind. WEIRDO!

Glad you had a good time at the Winstar show, sorry you didnt have a good time at OKC though. Im glad my introducing you to "your friend" has paid off a little. Too bad he wont still be around when I get back into going to concert. Sorry that the whole Gary thing is causing problems with you and the hubby. I have a feeling Bo isnt going to like it too much either once I get back into going to see Gary. I wouldnt mind taking him with me.....but all my junkie friends tell me NO BOYS ALLOWED! lol

Crystal....so happy to hear your kids are all better. Yesterday Bo's neice stayed home from scool sick and I was like....uh oh, she has Swine Flu!! lol I guess she didnt though bc she felt better after a couple hours. Thats so great that Donnie goes with you to the shows and actually has a good time. I think other people's husbands would have a better understanding and not get so jealous if they could go and have a good time. I know Bo would go with me....but I just dont see him singing along, or trying to touch Gary's hand, and really getting into it. So I just dont see me ever really wanting him to go.....and that would make him jealous.

As for my job hunting....the only downside is Im pretty sure its going to be hard for me to find a job with a boss like my last one, that lets me have every single day I want off to go to shows. So I might be able to go to lots of shows....but I will have to be picky on which ones. If I get a job at a bank then its probably going to be mostly Sunday shows that I will be attending....with the occasional Saturday show if I can get Saturdays off.

Im off to put in more applications today. I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Hi Junkies!!!!

Bren-I could tell you were enjoying yourself at the game Saturday. Thank God for Twitter, right? lol. I'm keeping up with Flash Forward too but I find myself having to be "in a mood" to watch it. Not sure why. It reminds me of LOST in the fact that it gives a little and leaves ALOT of questions. So, it makes me want more. I read in EW that since the flashforwards have a date, that they will actually make it to that date and we, the audience, will actually get to see what happens. That makes me happy because there were a few times that I wanted to give up on LOST somewhere around the 3rd or 4th season but I thought, I've watched this long, I need to finish it. lol. You're right, Courtney Cox's show is really funny. I also like Modern Family. You asked about Grey's and I have to say it's kind of boring me just a tiny, tiny bit this season. I'm not sure what it is. The opening show was pretty good but so far kinda boring. They need to amp up the romance again and get off the crazy medical stuff. I'm still not a fan of Torres. I'd be fine if she went onto the other hospital. It will interesting to see how they write off Meredith though. Will she be fired, or move to Mercy or what?

Alicia-I can see where things with the baby mama would be really tough. I hope they get better but for some reason, I'm not thinking that will happen That's awesome that your dad helped you out. Isn't it great to have family that does that. I've had to ask for help on more than one occasion and I would really love to ask for help right now but everyone always throws the concerts in my face when I bring up how short on money I am. So, it's diffiicult for me to ask. Credit Card debt is really getting me right now. I've got one with a reallly big balance and like 4 or 5 others that have low balances but still have montly payments of like $25 or more. Adding all that up really takes a hunk of $$$ every month. And, I put the hotel for Vegas on my mom's CC with promises I'd pay each month...and, welllllllll...so far that isn't happening. Good luck on the job search. A bank would be good. Nice & secure with good money and I'm guessing benefits.

Crystal-I'm glad you're kids are feeling better and that the illness didn't spread throughout the entire family. My allergies seem to be getting better too. I still have some crud hanging around though. I can't seem to shake it! I wish I knew what caused it. How's school going?

I'm so happy this week is almost over. It's been pretty stressful. Next week should be nothin' but fun!!! Although, I have a feeling that work will intrude into my vacation week. I'm a bit nervous about it since I'll be so far away. Everyone enjoy your Thursday.

Hey guys just checking in. I dont have much to say today but Im giving my dad the USB Internet connection today so I wont be able to get on for awhile so I figured I would check in.

First off....the bank interview went good but even if I get the job I wont know for WEEKS....so I guess its back to job hunting to find a job for at least the time till the bank calls me back.

Courtney...just so you know, the "dumb girls" you were talking about earlier. They read the boards and happen to be my friends. They told me what was being said in line and its nothing more than what all of us SEAT SNOBS have said before, I know Ive said stuff like that before when Im hyped up about getting front row. So I dont think it was very nice to diss them on the boards. Im not judging you and thats your personal opinion but I know those girls and they are my friends....I dont like people talking about them that way.

As for my baby momma drama....Bo said she has been acting better the last couple days on the phone, even apologized for how she was acting when it came to me. She will flip on a dime though so its hard to take her being nice seriously. She is now using Morgan as a pon to try and get me to start going to "church" with them....they are Jehovah Witnesses and when she first found out about me that was her biggest "concern" about me, was the fact that Im not Jehovah. So now she has Morgan asking if Im going to start going to meetings (thats what they call church) with them. Thats very hyprocitical of her though bc she has FIVE kids and only 2 of the daddies have been Jehovah. Im not sure if the best thing for me to do is actually meet her and let her get to KNOW me, maybe she will treat me better if she really sees that Im a good person.

Well gotta go for now! I will chat with yall later.

Thank you Alicia...they are friends of mine too... take it some where other than the boards, please.

Are we sure it's the same girls? She had never been to a show? maybe someone thought it was them??? They were like 18 and wouldn't stop screaming in the line.

Well if they are 18 and never been to a show...then its definitely not my friends you are talking about.

Im sure its just a big misunderstanding.

Happy Friday everyone.

I'm headed to Blake's show tonight. I have an extra ticket that looks like it will go unsold To tell you the truth, I"m really not that excited about going. But, I have a M&G so I'll go. Maybe by this afternoon I'll cheer up. I'm so freakin' busy right now trying to get everything ready to leave town next week!

Alicia-It will probably be a while til you read this, but I'd say don't let the Jehovahs pressue you into going to church with them. Not sure if you know (you probably do) but that is how they believe in "salvation"; by getting others to come into the church. Just sayin'. But, you seem to be a smart girl so I know you'll do what you feel is right. What a mess though. LOL. Good luck on the bank job and others. Do you know if you're going to the Dallas show yet? Just curious.

Bren-if you read this in time. ENJOY BONO AND THE BOYS BEFORE I SEE THEM

Hey Ladies, how is everyone today?

Alicia....hope you can find a job soon.

Courtney....I saw you at Thackerville but did not get a chance to introduce myself. Maybe next time, huh?

My next show is coming up on the 22nd and I am really stoked about it! (Amarillo, TX. ) Wish some of you were joining us!!

Hey guys! I'm heading to Tampa right now to go see U2! My all time favorite band ever since I was 8yrs old! Can't wait!
Thanks Kalen! Have fun w/ blake and ur m&g! That's awesome!
Alicia...don't let morgans mom pressure u..I have a lot of family in that religion..very closed minded people..won't even come to my wedding b/c I had my pastor there!
Well, I told Dor and steph already but frank and I decided that Vegas is out of the question..I'm very sad but the money situation is not very good right now and with the holidays coming up...if u guys know of anybody who wants to buy our tickets, I'm selling them @ face value...
Hope everybody has a great weekend!

Hi everyone,

It's me Sue. I've been a stranger to here for almost a month - my apologies. Time got away from me and I've been writing my thesis for my final semester of grad school.

Just got home from my college reunion in Albany, NY.

Well Ill be back later, gotta unpack but I just wanted to say Hi!

-sue

Hey Everybody. Just checking in...with not much to say. No new updates on the job situation (going to look again today) . There is a little update with Morgan's mom.....I talked to her on the phone for multiple hours. She sure can talk! It all started innocent and then she went on her Jehovah recruitment speech. I told Bo that if anything, her talking to me and being a little pushy about it is causing me to not want to even give it a chance even more. He said he has told her to leave me alone when it comes to that. We had a serious talk last night....I told him that if he only wanted to be with me if I decided to be a Jehovah then we needed to end our relationship before we got into it too deep. Im 99.9% sure that Im never going to be Jehovah so I hope he can except that....or end it before it gets too serious. Ive never been a closed minded person so Im not going to tell him that Im not going to be a Witness without at least giving it a shot....so this Sunday when we have Morgan, Im going with them to the meeting. Im REALLY nervous and even a tad scared but Bo is worth it....so Im going to go for him.

Well...Im off for now. I will talk to yall later. I got lots of TV to catch up on.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone's doing well and not getting sick with that awful Swine Flu. My niece came down with it last week and missed 4 days of school. Now my oldest son has the regular flu. He also had an MRI done because his back has been bothering him. He has 2 bulging disc and has to go see a neurosurgeon. He's 25 and to young for back trouble if you ask so hopefully they can fix him up and no more problems.

Alicia, hope you get the job your looking for! Glad you and Morgan's mom got to talk. Nothing wrong with having an open mind and giving something a try. Just make sure it's what Alicia wants.

Kalen, can't wait to hear about your U2 concerts!

Barb...that really sucks about your oldest son and his back problems. Has he lived a very physical life style? Like playing a lot of sports or having a blue color job? Bo is only 27 and he already has had his share of back problems. As for Swine Flu....Bo's neice has it, and she is here at the house right now with her little brother. OH BOY!

Believe me....Alicia wont do anything that Alicia doesnt want to do! lol I talked to his ex on the phone AGAIN last night and she was normal for the first half of the convo and then all of a sudden it turned and she was preaching to me again. im sorry but everything that she would say....I had to keep in my laughter. When she was done talking she said "What do you think about what I have said? You are probably thinking Im a nut." and in my head Im thinking "YEP!" but of course I didnt say that to her so I just said "I dont know what to think." Soooo....this Sunday will be interesting to say the least, if I even decide to go...Im starting to think Im going to back out. I also think Im going to stop talking to her, partially bc I dont want to be preached to anymore and another bc I dont think Bo really likes that we are talking.

Well....I will talk to everyone later! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. To anyone who had shows last weekend....I hope yall had a good time, to anyone who has shows coming up this weekend, HAVE FUN!!

Hey guys!!!

Sues and Steph..hope you had a great time at your reunion..

Kalen..hope you had as much fun as I did with Bono and the guys!!!

I saw them last friday in Tampa..they were fantastic! they r the only group i will ever see in a stadium...the stage took up most of the field..it looked like a space ship...I kept thinking that U2 is the best thing that played in that stadium because The Bucs really suck this season!

I just got home from watching the Miami Dolphins run all over the Jets last nite...that was such an awesome game...my voice is officailly gone!

Alicia..if you feel Bo is worth going to those "meetings" then try it..you have to do what makes you happy...not what anybody says..my family members in that "religion" are very pushy...I understand to witness but the problem with them they will not listen to anybody else view about Christ..they use to come around to my house to preach and i would tell them i will listen to them if they 1st listen to my witness...they would walk away each time...if you know the bible then you could get her from preaching to you...


Barb..sorry about your son's back problem..

hope everybody is having a great week...i keep forgetting that today is Tuesday...it felt like sunday yesterday

HEY EVERYBODY!! JUST CHECKING IN!

ALICIA....STILL WISHING YOU LUCK ON THE JOB HUNT.

BARB.....HOPE YOUR SON GETS WELL SOON! BACK TROUBLE IS NO FUN.

NEXT WEEK ARE MY NEXT TWO GARY SHOWS. YA'LL KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR JERRI AND I. WE NEED A MEET AND GREET!!!

Just want to pop in and say HI to everybody! The thread has been really slow lately. Heard an awesome interview with Gary on KSCS yesterday and they played 2 more new songs from the upcoming cd. It's going to be such a good cd! I recorded everything on my Iphone just because! I posted a thread about it in advance so everybody could listen online. I hope some of you were able to catch the interview. He was in studio for an hour!

Have a great weekend!

GO LONGHORNS!!!!!

Hi, everyone! I hope this finds each of you well and happy. I haven't had much time to stop by the past few weeks. Lots going on in my life, including issues with my younger son (no seizures though) that have caused me to lose much sleep and shed lots of tears.

It sounds like many of you are gettting to go to concerts and I'm glad for you.

Take care,
Connie

Hey Girls!

Well, my dreams of a meet and greet for the Amarillo or Lubbock show have been squashed! No email from the fan club yet so I guess it ain't happenin. I really thought that since there was no other mention of anyone going to these shows on the board that we might have a better chance. Oh well...guess we will have to keep trying!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Seems like the tread is getting awful slow ladies!!!

Hey everyone!! Just checking in with yall, its been awhile. Nothing new with my life really. Same ol' Same ol'.

Still no concerts in my near future. I could have had a job but passed it up bc the hours were just stupid and they werent willing to work with them at all. Im going into another place today to try again. Hopefully the hours will be better.

Things with Bo are still the same....like any relationship we bicker but still have never had a true fight, so I guess thats a good thing. Morgan told me she loved me for the first time this last weekend. It felt good. I also finally got to meet Morgan's mom in person, it went great. She was about as normal as you can be...but it might have been a little fake.

Well, I got to get going to run errands and put in another application, so I will talk to you all later! I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

ALICIA...GOOD LUCK ON THE JOB HUNT.

TOMORROW IS MY NEXT GARY SHOW!!!! CAN'T WAIT!! LIFE IS GOOD!!

Have a blast, Vicki, and yell some for me!!! Let us know how it goes!

Hey guys!

How's everybody?

Well, my life has been boring...just studying for my certified peds nurse exam and getting ready for halloween...I'm going as Pebbles and Franko is my Bamm-Bamm also really wanting to get away from Orlando for awhile but no $$$$..been also keeping busy with football games and my fantasy league..I'm 3rd right now..

Alicia..gald your 1st meeting with Morgan's mom was enjoyable not scary...gald you guys are going strong...

Connie..hope all is going well with your son...

Hope everybody is having a great week!

Hi girls!

Not much going on in my world either. Kyle went to the surgeon about his back and luckily it's not bad enough for surgery. They are putting him through therapy instead. 2 more days till I see Gary again and them I am done with concerts for the year, I think.

We have had so much rain here I think we are going to need a boat to get around! 4 inches in a 24 hour period and some areas had 5 to 6 inches. The ground is already soaked so everything just runs off into creeks, lakes, roads. We need some sunshine for a change!

Alicia, I hope you find a job you like soon and has the hours you want. Glad to hear the you and Morgan's mom can get along and that was so sweet that Morgan told you she loves you. I bet your heart just melted.

Vicki, have a great time at your concert! Want to hear all about it!

I started Jenny Craig this week so wish me luck. Want to loose about 25 or 30 pounds.

Talk to you later!

Hey ladies... it has been awhile...I have been SO FLIPPIN' Busy!!

Alicia, hope the job hunt is going well...have you heard from the bank? Glad things are going well with Bo's ex...it truly makes it easier when you can be "friends" there will still be tough times...but so much less, and it makes it easier on the kids. I loved only having to have one Bday party for the boys...to where with me as a child we always had one with mom & one with dad.. Sucked.

Barb, have fun at your show...and let me know how Jenny Craig goes!? I have thought about it...right now I am just exercising (a little lol) and eating healthier..

School & work has been good! hope everyone has a good day!!

Hey guys....Im going to apply for a job at a Day Care tomorrow, it wont pay much but its Mon-Fri mornings...so its perfect for spending time with Bo. Money isnt a big deal to me...I have very simple needs, so any money will help out with getting what we need. Its also a job that I can see me really enjoying bc I love kids and they usually always love me. Also, Bo is supposed to get Morgan for 6 weeks during the summers but hasnt been able to in the past bc he cant afford day care....so this way we can keep her and she can just go to work with me! Also Barb...yes, my heart melted when she told me that she loved me.

Bren, good luck with getting certified in Peds. That seems like a really good job but also like it takes a really tough heart to be able to see all those sick kids all the time. I dont think anyone can NOT respect you for going into that field....it takes a strong person. Also...you will HAVE to post pictures of you and Frank in your costumes!! I have GOT to see that.

Barb...Glad to hear that Kyle wont need surgery. Thats really good news. As for rain....here in central Texas we all had flash flood warnings last night. We got 7inches here where I live....and 9inches in a county thats upstream from us, so we were FLOODED big time. Its never perfect in Texas, its always one extreme to another when it comes to weather. And how in the heck are you supposed to lose 30lbs?!?!?! You do not need to lose that much, you are skinny. Anyways...best of luck to you with that.

Courtney...good luck with school and work!

Vicki and Barb (and anyone else)....have fun with Gary and the guys this weekend!! I wish I was going.

Well got to talk to yall later!! BYE BYE!!

Hey All...
Had SOOOO much fun at the Chicago show, even though getting there and parking was a nightmare!!! If I ever go to a show at the Chicago HOB again, I will not be parking at the adjacent parking!!! By the time I got to the venue it was already 7pm...So much for early entry??? The food was O.k...Not great..Not bad...just O.k...The drinks were weak and "extremely" overpriced...They couldn't find me on their list, so I missed the first two songs!!! Can you tell I'm not a fan of the HOB??? The basically "two" good things I can say about the Chicago HOB is...1) It's non-smoking...&...2) The people that work there are really nice...After they finally found me on their list; the box office lady took me up the back way so I wouldn't have to fight through a "Sold Out" crowd!!! Plus, the lady who originally booked my seat, got me a GREAT seat!!! After getting redirected, and having to go down 4 streets just to make a left turn, to say I was NOT happy (coming in) would've be an extreme understatement! So security chases someone outta my seat, "someone " started his next song, and the back of my neck unclinched ...It was the musical equivilent of someone saying, "Poor Baby"!!! ...and I "finally" got the man for my birthday!!! (Even if it was a day late )

Alicia... on the Morgan front... on the fact that Supernatural's a rerun tonight!!!

Bren...My two nieces gave me a niece & nephew last year...Since last year I've been trying to convince them to trick-or-treat as the Flintstones & Rubbles (inc. Pebbles & BammBamm)...But I don't think they're going for it!!! LOL!!!

Hi to everyone else & Happy Friday!!!

I hide it very well!! It's all in my middle. I weigh 156 and at 5'4" I should be more like 125-130. I can't wear the cloths I want to anymore and I'm uncomfortable. Plus my colesterol is a little to high so hoping to get that under control. It sucks getting old!

Hey, I feel your pain...I am somewhat O.k. with my me, with one major exception...I have a couple really cute tops that I don't wear because of the middle...I have a little bit of a roll that becomes far more noticeable in some tops...I just can't wear a top that makes that spot that much more noticeable...I see it everyday a woman in a top that has the middle stickin' out, and all I can think is ...Really??? So for me it's not really what I eat, it's what I drink...I'm a really bad Mountain Dew junkie...So, I'm trying really hard to give it up; because I "know" when I do I'm gonna be much happier!!! I always tell people I have 2 addictions...One's in little green can...One rides around in great big bus!!!

Well, the 2nd addiction is a good addiction! My worst addiction is Dr. Peppers and ice cream. I've never had a weight problem before until I turned 45. When I was younger I was so skinny that people would make fun of me in school. I never got over 100 lbs. until I had my first kid. So I have never had to watch what I put in my mouth and it's really hard to change that frame of mind. It's all catching up to me now! I want to be able to wear my shirts tucked in again and jeans that fit everywhere. That's my goal!!!

I hear ya Barb! I didn't gain weight till I had my hysterectomy in 1992. I was so skinny in school they called me "twiggy!"

You sure don't look like you need to lose that much weight girl!!

Have fun at the Dallas show tonight!!

Alicia, good luck on th interview for the job!

OMG! That is too funny! Twiggy is what they put under my senior picture in our yearbook! For those who don't know who Twiggy is, she was a famous model in the 70's who was really skinny.

Well the Dallas show was really good last night. I'm really glad I decided to do this show. Luckily with my front row ticket I was able to get up to the stage. Security was really strict on everybody and wouldn't let anyone up to the stage unless you could show your front row ticket. There was some girl who brought her grandmother and bless her heart, she stood at the stage right along with us. Gary threw the first pic to her. I took a picture of her because I thought it was so sweet! Anyway, I posted my pictures over in the Tour Talk but thought I would post them here too.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

Hey Everyone. I'm back. I've been on vacation for 2 weeks and I'm having a REALLY hard time getting my head back to reality. My house was trashed by my animals when I got home last night. Pee and Poo EVERYWHERE! I had a girl coming by to feed them and let them out but apparently, she wasn't on their schedule and she didn't clean any of it up while I was gone. It was NOT fun to come home to!

The first week I went to see U2 in Dallas, Houston and Norman. The Dallas show was at the cowboys stadium and WOW! That place is MASSIVE! Very nice but we were up in the 400s so we didn't have good seats at all. They didn't turn on the imfamous big screens either so it was really difficult to get into the show that far away. I will NEVER go there for a concert and sit that far away again. Not even U2. Houston was way better. Our hotel was within walking distance and we were able to see the Reliant from our hotel window. It was really cool watching them open the roof and close it again. I remember when we were there for kenny last August, and someone said it takes 30 minutes to open the roof and that's why they didn't open it for Kenny. Well, that was about a big fat lie! I sat there and watched them do it and it took all of 3 minutes. It was open for the show and we were only 7 rows away from the floor. AWESOME seats kinda on the side. I got some GREAT PICTURES! Most are on my facebook. We came home on the 15th from Houston and left on the 18th for Norman. Norman was the best of the 3 shows. Our seats were OK but when I got there, I noticed that the first 12 rows had no one in them so I walked down after the Black Eyed Peas and asked the security woman if they hadn't sold those seats and she said yes, the first 6 rows were called the dead zone and weren't sold because U2 would be walking right there to get to the stage. I FREAKED! I mean, 6 rows away from U2?!?!?!?! So, I parked my butt right there on the 7th row, and waited. They came out and we were SCREAMING at them. They wouldn't let ANYONE within arms reach of them in the stands or on the floor so I had to yell and yell I did. I got a really good picture of Bono waving as he walked to the stage. It was a really cool night and they kept saying that the weather made them feel like they were at home in Ireland. Again, I got some great pics but haven't uploaded any of them yet. Because we came home on Monday afternoon and left Tuesday at 6:30 am for Palm Desert California. OMG! I LOVE IT THERE! It was in the 90s everyday and got into the 60s in the evening. I didn't have anything to do so I shopped & layed by the pool. I can't say how much I loved that place. It was hot but NOTHING like hot here. There were no bugs and the scenery was BEAUTIFUL. Surrounded by mountains and palm trees...oh how I want to go back and live there! So, anyway, back to work for the next two months until my next vacation in Vegas with a bunch of Junkies!

So, good to see Sue poppin' back in! How's your sister? I haven't seen her post anywhere in a long time. Except for Thursday night when the Yankees had a brain fart and were down four runs in the fourth inning. congrats on making so much progress on your thesis! What's it on again? I'm sure that's a big relief to have that finished!

Bren-I was cracking up at your tweets about Paranormal. I really want to see it. I'm not sure why because I think it will scare the heck outta me and I'll have to come home ALONE.

Alicia-good to see you still checking in here. Glad to hear things are good in your life. You sound very content. That's awesome. Good luck on the job hunt as well.

Barb-Glad you had a good time at Gary's show Saturday. I had totally forgotten about it until I got your twitpic. That's awesome you were able to be right up front. Who is the guy in one of your pictures that is standing next to Jamie with a red bandana on his head? One of the openers? Did Gary happen to mention anything else about his new "vibe room"? Thanks again for sending those interviews to me. I loved hearing them! Good to hear about your son's back. HOpefully things will get better for him soon. Unfortunately, it will probably be doing a whole lot of nothing for it to heal. And, that probably won't be fun for anyone.

Well, I'm off to finish things up to try and get ready to go back to work. I'm trying not to, but I think I'm going to be in a bad mood the next few days with work. I'll keep ya posted...
