Who’s on line? the DAILY ‘CHAT’ that never ends

[babycakesParticipant]

Mikey and Don (along with your wives) are the “BEST’,and beautiful people! Opening your hearts,homes,and love to share with these wonderful,heart warming beautiful children! Unfortunately they grow up too fast it seems;however it doesn’t end there! For all you have given and shared with them continues on throughout your lifetime,and the gift you eventually receive is being ‘grandparents’ It doesn’t get any better than that! Bless you guys!!!!

Mickey you and you wife are great people may God bless both of you!

Thanks, guys. It’s something that has given us a lot of satisfaction, and heartaches over the years. Theresa keeps records on all the children that pass through our home, and in the 12 years we’ve been doing it,it’s a little over 100 so far. Some of the kids still stay in touch with us, 2 of them found Tree on Facebook. It’s good to know that you can make a difference. DK, I never new you had adopted 2 daughters, good for you. You met Cassie at Shimers house, along with V Bob, Frank, and Patina.

Joe, kids are what keeps us young. It’s a little mind boggling to start over with a little one, but she’s been with us almost since birth, and she’s like one of our own. My son John, actually my stepson(he was 4 when I married Tree)is now 38, and is a Shift Supervisor for Penske, at T.G. Lee Dairy In Orlando. That’s where I retired from in 2008. He works on the big trucks, the trailers, and the refrigeration units just like I did. Daughter Michelle is 33, has a 1 year old little boy, and is a Mortgage Processor. Daughter Laura, is 28, and is a stay at home Mom with 2 children, a boy 10, and a girl 5. Daughter Cassie is 18(going on 25), and is a Senior in high school. works part time at Publix Supermarket. Daughter Tiffany is 11 next month, and is in 5th grade. Then there’s Tasha, Dads little helper. It puts a little dent in my racing, but I’m happy with my life.
………………Mikey 😆

Had them ‘late’ for me….Whole new generation to deal with…..Music-trends-attitude- ….heck they take computer courses and are way past me with all the I pads-I Pods-Tablets-….some of their courses are like Science Fiction compared to my schooling. Dad’s OLD and they’re correct when I talk about the sixties-seventys…like dinosaur days to them.Neither has any interest in Hot Rods..Took Josh to the Drag Strip-“the cars are too loud And when can we have pizza”….He’s Way deep into contemporary Music…extensive CD collection ….and Nicole Reads -Writes and has Tons of Art Talent. Keep me busy for sure. Mom & I very Proud …they don’t bother with all the violent Video Games and some of the “normal” weirdness, you see in Tweens & Teens today.

OK I’m sure all you ODF’s know this, but I just discovered it. My keyboard connection in the computer died the other night and I ws left with no way to log on or type. While trying to shut down the computer I came across this “ease of access” thing on a menu. I clicked on it and it had a choice that read “On screen keyboard” I clicked on it and voila a keyboard on the screen that works with the mouse cursor. What will they think of next?

[dinoKeymaster]

Pat…wheres that “Menu” ? I’m interested …was told by a geek that when they originally designed the keyboards,they added buttons that to this day do nothing.

[patinaParticipant]

Dino

I went to:

Control Panel, clicked on; computer settings, ease of access center, then “make computer easier to use” and clicked on;
“Start on-screen keyboard”

I have windows 7

Hey Guys,
All this parent talk got my attention…As a father I’m very blessed to have 2 great kids. My daughter is interning at Childrens Hosp. of Philedelphia. She will be clinical child pscychologist. My son’s a union pipefitter making crazy money…when he works. Both were taken to the drags at a very young age and are both into it to this day. My daughter still has all the racer handouts from Etown with autographs. My son is mini-me but better. He crewchiefs on two cars an Outlaw drag radial and an 8:50 index car. The Outlaw car had a world record ET and the 8:50 car just won the Yellow Bullet Nationals in Maryland. He’s the one in the center, black shirt, big smile. Proud PaPa? You bet!!
