A Trip Down Memory Lane

You already know that I LOVE facebook. There's this one group called, "Born and Raised in Hialeah, FL" you have to check out. People have been posting places that we used to go to back in the day. You can't help but smile as you read about places like Fun O'Rama, Atlas Theater, Figaros, Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor, and Play World. Check it out. You're gonna love it!

What places bring back your childhood to you?

Band Camp

This week, one of the volunteers said they could not serve next week because they were going to help out at Band Camp! I am so jealous. Can you imagine going back to band camp? What would you want to do if you could?

Butterflies

Do you remember how when just talking to someone would give you butterflies? Heck, I remember just seeing someone, and getting them. When was the last time someone gave you butterflies? If you're brave, who was it?

What was your first?

My computer is almost out of memory. I have a music addiction problem. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem. Right now, I have 1,953 songs saved in iTunes. I downloaded my first song in 1991 on my first computer. It was "Walking on the Sunshine" by a group called Rockers Revenge. I just had to have it. It only took about 7 hours to download using dial-up and the computer could not handle doing any other task, but oh, it was SO worth it.

What was the first song you downloaded?

I Dare You

My son asked some of his friends what color bands he should get put on his braces the other day. One girl dared him to put pink. He did! Not only are they pink, but they are a shocking neon pink. Everyone thinks this is hilarious, but I think he did it just to pick up girls.
Have you ever taken someone up on a dare? Was the reason just to impress someone else?

Gee, How Funny

I am spending the week in Daytona with 40 teenagers. Today, they decided to play pranks. I have never been a fan of the prank. I have always chosen to play my jokes directly and not do these things in hiding. If you can't tell by my tone, I am not a happy camper (pun intended). They stole all of my bras and panties. No one has the courage to bring them back. :) I smile, so I don't choke anyone.
What do you think of pranks? What pranks have been played on you?

You've Got Talent

Each of us has talents. Some of them, we use in our daily lives, in our jobs, or in hobbies. But then, there are other talents not too many people know about. What are these? Tell us about something that you are really good at, but not many people know.

Facebook

I've just started with Facebook. I have to say, I'm hooked! It is the Mac of the personal page sites-so user friendly. There's a page dedicated to HML alumni-none for the band yet. Sign up and check out my page while you're at it. You'll have to know my real name though. :) Let me know what you think of the whole site.

Technology....good or bad for relationships

Well I finally found something I figured might be a good topic for our group considering the changes in technology during the past 20 - 25 years. I recently went through a bad break up (long story) but how I found out he was cheating on me was via technology. I'm not talking about pictures or video but internet. I starting thinking about how wonderfully horrible technology really is for relationships. For instance, everyone has their own cell phones, computers, various e-mail accounts, and even various "lives" via the internet. I'm about to go back to the Flinstone era myself and hope I can trust again.

Thoughts?

Movies, anyone?

Silly-versaries

Celebrate your firsts. Pick one and tell us about it.

First paycheck?

First love?

First car?

First adult moment?

But, Why?

40% of bandees prefer their junior year over any other year of high school. But, it was a close race with the sophomore year trailing with 36%. Those stats are fine and dandy, but tell us why. Why did you pick one year over another?

I've Got Nothing Again

Hey everyone,
I'm out of topics. Help me out. List something you want to talk about.

Here Comes Trouble

When I was in the 5th grade, I was the class trouble-maker. I made fun of Mrs. Williams and her "map" clothes. She loved history and geography, so every outfit she wore, was made out of some kind of fabric with a map on it. I sat right next to her desk the entire year. One day, she was called to the office and left the class unattended. As soon as she walked out, I hopped under her desk and pulled out a huge box that I had seen her put all of the confiscated toys, comic books, and candies into, and started passing it all out. Everyone went nuts! By the time she came back, the box was empty. No one said a word. A couple of weeks later, she brought the box out and saw that it was empty. Again, no one said a word.
Question: What did you do in school that may or may not have gotten you in trouble?

Is this what we look like?

Debby turned 40 yesterday. No, I'm not putting her out there. Paula is next, and I think I'm after her. They say, age ain't nothing but a number, but is it? What is the worst part about getting old? What is the worst part about being married to someone who’s getting old?

The Perfect One

OK. We all know what the magazines and movies say about the perfect Valentine's Day, but is what they say, really what we do? Do women really want roses and a box of chocolate? Guys, what do you really think about the boxers with the cartoon characters? What would make Valentine's Day perfect for you?

A new thing on my list...

A new thing on my list of things I don't like.... Funerals. It's FOREVER since I have been to one. the last one I went to was in 1984 when the principle Mr. Wilson died. BUT... A friend of mine was killed last saturday in a head on collision, and we went to his funeral today... It was a beautiful service, but I didnt like the fact that it happened.

I don't like funerals.

One other thing that sucks too...

I don't like getting sick. Yeah - I have had the flu for the last few days.

Whats New?

Not too much going on here lately huh? Most probably lurk or has interest slipped? I noticed the website Eric had put together is not working. There was quite the picture gallery. I did save all the images, so not to worry, they are all still safe. I also have all the pictures that have been posted here. A link has been added to the photo gallery.


Also been messing with some of the new features. Like to see a poll? Add a link? Let us know and we can add it.

Gina's Birthday

Robin is having a party at her house for Gina's birthday. It's a potluck barbecue. Please post here to let us know that you are going and if you will bringing anything.

Date and Time: Saturday, January 19th, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.

Place: Robin's House (I will send an email to each of you with the address. If you do not get one, just post here, and I will send it to you.)

The Most Kick-Ass Action Heroes

Rambo has a new movie coming out. I love that character! I can't wait to see it. John Rambo is tough as nails, intimidating, and still has a good heart. But, is he the best action hero out there? Maxim magazine has a countdown this month detailing each of their beatings to see just which one is the toughest. Before you check out their list (I think you will be surprised at who is #1), tell us who you think is the best action hero.
