[flagbabyds]

It was yesterday and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JT is back and I got to ask him a question on the raido which was cool and Aurilia as well. OMG i got cain, ZITO, and Gardner to sign my sweatshirt, I also got signatures on the pictures of me and players with Lowry, Sweeney, Vizquel,Ellison, and I got a picture with Ortiz and Frandsen.

So rachel the new cute player to hope makes the team is BILLY SADLER

He is really really really really cute and i didn't make it in time for him to sign my shirt but i did get pictures of him!

well i must go but i wanted to update you.

[AndreaB]

Sounds like you had a great time Molly.

Vizquel was always my favorite.....from 15-20 years ago. More like when he was around his early 20's, playing for the Mariners up here.

[flagbabyds]

yeah he's really cool!

frandsen is my new fav. cause he broke his jaw and had his jaw wired shut like mine was so i would talk with him before the games about how to get food in and stuff.

and then yesterday he was at the photo booth and i was trying to figure out if it was him and he looked up made eye contact with me and grinned and waved! then i knew it was him and it was cute so I went and got my pic with him.

oh and sadler's pic online is not very good.

I just wanted to update all my Rachelville friends on the longest week of my life.

It turns out that I will NOT be going to Greenland this year or next. I got a call this Monday telling me they have rejected my transfer!

I was upset for a day or so, but I am sure it will turn out for the best. At least I no longer have to leave my wife and kids behind for a year, but it manes having to wait and see if I can get posted to either COlorado or North Dakota next year. Both good locations!

It was very hard to get worked up to go, and to get let down in such an abrupt manner. THis is the first time since Monday that I have come in here to even read posts and get caught up on things.

Sorry this is so incohereant. It is early, and i am not thinking straight.

Talk to you all soon!

[jerseyangel]

Aw Ryan--I'm so sorry that it worked out this way

I'm a firm believer that things often work out the way they're supposed to. I hope that your next assignment will bear this out, and be the best choice for you and your family.

I'm glad you checked in--take care

[dlp252]

Ah Ryan, I'm so very sorry! I'm speechless really, cuz this all seemed to be so much a "go" for so long! I tend to agree with Patti about the way things work out.

[Mtndog]

Ryan- I'm sorry too. This must have been such a let down after such a big buildup. But now you get to stay with your wife and baby girl!

Molly- You are always doing the coolest things!

[AndreaB]

Ryan,

It's a let down for you since you've spent so much time mentally getting ready for it....but it's probably a relief to your wife and child(ren).

I'm hoping you'll still get your assignments you want. All things do work out for reasons beyond our comprehension, although sometimes 20/20 comes into play later down the road, the lightbulb moment.

Ryan,

I'm sorry you didn't get the assignment....I know its a disappointment for you.

I agree that your wife and kids are probably relieved and hopefully better things are still in store for you and your family. Even though it was a let down there are definetaly some good aspects to look at. Things will work out for you.

Cool pics Molly!

I like your jacket too.

Are you going to opening day again??

[flagbabyds]

Cool pics Molly!

I like your jacket too.

Are you going to opening day again??

the jacket also has zip off arms so it can become a vest.

yeah i'm going to opening day and it's during spring break this year so i don't have to cut school.

This gave me a chuckle, thought you would enjoy it too

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary.

His wife was really angry. She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect

to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then

6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!"

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife

woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box

gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and

brought the box back in the house. She opened it

and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Ed has been missing since Friday.

[AndreaB]

Thanks.

[jerseyangel]

Sandy--that's hilarious!

[Mtndog]

That is awesome!!!!!!! :lol:

[Daxin]

LOL

[2kids4me]

then all of Rachelville will like this!

words women use

1.) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are

right and you need to shut up.

2.) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.

Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more

minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,

and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing

usually end in fine.

4.) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement

often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an

idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing

with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6.) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women

can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard

before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7.) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say

you're welcome.

8.) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!

9.) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning

this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but

is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's

wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

*The pediatrician moved Kathryn's appt to today at 2 pm,it was booked for March 20 based on whatever GP said in referral letter. I sent a fax yesterday outlining her symptoms - fatigue, dark urine all the time, bilirubin and urobilinogen showing up on dipstick etc. Within 10 minutes of fax the office phoned and said, come tomorrow at 2pm. Some docs DO get it and listen to mom.

My hope is that chuckles and laughter help us over the scary things - jokes help us all. and my friends always send me these when they know I am worried about one of the kids.

So I am sharing them with all my Rachelville friends .

Sandy,

That's great that they moved it up. Makes me wonder how soon they would have booked if they had the info to begin with. Hope all goes well today and we'll be waiting for updates.

[jerseyangel]

Hi Sandy,

I am so glad they moved your appt up to today. That must be a huge relief!

Thanks for the laughs--that list: are you bugging my house ? I've used a few of them from time to time
