jamie from aggieland texas

Gus found all the eggs! What a clever "gilla"!
to you and your family, Jamie!

Despite the issues you are dealing with, I hope you had/have a nice Easter. You never answered my question yesterday (maybe the day before, not sure). Have you given Gus a new coat of paint? Wasn't he brown before, or is this left over from St. Patrick's Day? I see Rosemary left tire tracks on your page as well. If you tried to follow the hunt, the Easter Bunny was on Anne's (Albany) page. Cheers, and i hope things improve for you and your MIL.

Are you at school on Monday?...or is it Sunday...I am really confused...Teachers are hard workers...I feel for you! Just know how hard it is to always be ready and ahead of the game. Take care!

Hi Jamie,I hope you had a wonderful Easter
I was browsing your photos,you have a beautiful family!
Gus sure does get "gussied" up! ha ha pardon the pun!
your dogs a great too and I want Molly!
see you in the chat soon,hope all is well with your shoulder,I hope Ian is doing well and will be joining us soon

Jamie, where in Aggieland and for whom do you work?

Write to me when you have a chance. I was the leading sped attorney in TX when we lived there, and had quite a horrible/wonderful (depending on your perspective) rep. Would love to chat with you when you have the opportunity, because I'm thinking of walking away from sped law and would love the perspective of a Texas teacher.

Jamie - I hope you are still doing your physical therapy. Keep it up.

I'm not saying that last sentence in view of Judy. - I'm afraid of what she might say.

Hi Jamie
There is a sneaky way to see the picture without solving the puzzle! At the top of the puzzle page, click on "Play this pic as a jigsaw"

I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's troubles, Jamie. Warm thoughts and prayers for her. May she find relief, and may you know just what to do for her.

Hello Jamie. I am so sorry to hear about your Mother's troubles. I hope and pray that there is a solution arrived at soon. How are you, with the problems that you have had? I don't post or read much, these days, but remember that you had a problem with your arm/shoulder. Peace and hope to you both.

Isn't it horrible when we see our parents in distress but there is nothing we can do but hope. I wish her all the best for a painfree outcome. You and she are in my thoughts.

Jamie; My thoughts and prayers going to you and your mom. Hope they find the source of her pain, at least; and, at best, can find a way to relieve the pain. Best Wishes and God Bless. to your mom.

Jamie, thanks for your comments on my China trip photos. I live in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, sixty miles west of Montreal on the St.Lawrence river.

Hi Jamie, stopped by to say hi and see how an Aggie dressed up their page. Like the Easter bunny! I spent about 20 years in Texas, but hail from Baylor and SMU. Had loads of friends from A&M, take care,

Yahoo, indeed, Jamie! Now my husband informs me that I'll be able to watch him grow more handsome as the years pass. (What's with you guys, anyway?) Thanks for the good cheer and best wishes to you and those you care about.

Jamie- Well it's been a long time, and I am sorry for that. This is Anew from Utah- and I have not been on for quite some time, it looks like one of your last posts was a year ago to me, and I don't believe I responded.

I hope all is well, and hope to keep in touch from now on.
Because there are so many people onsite, I likely won't go back any time soon to everyones old pages or the archives, so I'll keep intouch from here on out, if you'd like :)
And maybe one day I'll get the umph to really, truly catch up!

take care,
an old friend

Thank you again Jamie for the support and loving words. I do remember your friendship with me well, and I'm glad to be back where the connection can continue. Thanks for the prayers, I'll remember you in mine as well concerning your church :)
peace my friend

Jamie...You have been on my mind and in my heart...reading about the latest problems reminded me of a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar which pretty well sums up my thoughts...thought I'd share it with you:Hope you enjoy it!
KEEP A-PLUGGIN' AWAY
I've a humble little motto
That is homely, though it's true,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
It's a thing when I've an object
That I always try to do,
Keep a-pluggin' away.
When you've rising storms to quell
When opposing waters swell,
It will never fail to tell,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
If the hills are high before
And the paths are hard to climb,
Keep a-pluggin' away.
And remember that successes
Come to him who bides his time,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
Erom the greatest to the least
None are from the rule released
Be thou toiler, poet, priest,
Keep a-pluggin' away.
Delve away beneath the surface,
There is treasure farther down,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
Let the rain come down in torrents,
Let the threat'ning heavens frown,
Keep a-pluggin' away.
When the clouds have rolled away,
There will come a brighter day
All your labor to repay.-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
There'll be lots of sneers to swallow,
There'll be lots of pain to bear,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
If you've got your eye on heaven,
Some bright day you'll wake up there,-
Keep a-pluggin' away.
Perserverance still is king;
Time its sure reward will bring;
Work and wait unwearying,-
Keep a-pluggin'away.

Paul Laurence Dunbar

OK, I like you... The green Gorilla is PERFECT!! It says that you are a slightly warped individualist. My kind of person.

I too will not be able to spend much time on the site. I'm a full time farmer/ cattlewoman. The animals keep me very busy. A few people have noticed that I'm trying to build my own Zoo here. I have lost count of the number of species I have. The only reason that I'm on here so much today is that it's cold and pouring out today.

oh poor Gus!!! You have to find bigger ears for him, those tiny ones are sooooo hilarious! Thank you for the birthday wish, even if it is a day early, it just means I get to milk it for two days!!! "I shouldn't have to make dinner cuz . . . I don't feel like grading papers on my . . . I should be able to scoot out early today cuz . . " giggle!

Jamie, I tagged you for Angie's game on Easy.

Hi Jamie. It's been a while since I stopped in for a visit, so I thought it was time to say hello (and Hi to Gus too!). Hoping things are easing up a bit for you. I beat you to the retirement mode, as I formally retired April 2nd. I do hope your last year goes by quickly and you can join the club soon, as there is a lot less stress. Your school year should end soon, so you will be able to relax a little. Hope you have a great summer and I sincerely hope life's problems are few and far between. Cheers my friend!

Hi Jamie! You must be near the end of the school year! Just a few more days, right? Be sure and let us know when, so we can raise a glass to your freedom!

Jamie, I know you probably already have a full itinerary. Would you be interested in a Rocky Mountain SA meeting while you are in Denver? When will you be here?

Jamie - I love your fish! I especially would love to display it down by my pond (that doesn't have any fish - just frogs sometimes).
I'm going to try and post some pond shots in my gallery today.
Have a great weekend!

Hey Jamie,
I have been around awhile, but just never visited. It's nice to meet a fellow Texan and I appreciate the visit. Hope to see you again.

Hi Jamie, thanks for your message. I shall have to read more to work out where Aggieland is! Husband John did chinook salmon breeding research here some years ago and I loved it when we had beautiful trout smoked (at a small smokery - does that sound the right way to espress it) - he was in fisheries at the time. I'm figuring out all that my new camera can do and trying to photograph sunsets etc from our views.

Thanks, Jamie for visiting! Hope you're relaxing. Don't go sneaking around looking for something to grade!

Jamie, thank you for the birthday wishes -- it was so nice of you to call on me! It's plenty hot in Oklahoma and the doggone cottonwood is still blowing. Thank heaven for air conditioning, and Dayquil, and Kleenex, and so much more!

Hi Jamie
I am going in tomorrow to hospital.
I am having a knee arthroscopy on the left knee.
This is to see if I am a candidate for what they call a mini knee replacement.
I am too young for a full knee replacement they tell me, as apparently they only last for about 10 years.
I am 51.
It is day surgery so I should be home by tomorrow evening.
You are having the full knee replacment then?
Can I ask your age?

Oh, Jamie! Thank you, so much, for the smoked salmon! I love smoked fish, but salmon, oh yummy!!!! Years ago my husband and I went fishing with a friend on Lake Michigan for salmon. We ate salmon for breakfast, lunch and supper. (Not all in one day.) We put it in the freezer. I like it grilled, baked, fried, broiled....... I just like salmon. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Gus........ I hope you have having a great summer. Ours has been very comfortable for the most part. We have had lower temps and humidity than normal. (Kinda like it was when I was a kid.) Have a great day!

Jamie, I hope you enjoy your summer also. I get on a do the puzzles, but I usually don't post. By the time I get on it is late and nobody gets back to respond. When I can get on early I post. I enjoy the going back and forth conversation, even if it is on computer.

hi jammie tnx for welcoming me in sodukoland... im still trying to find out some beautiful things here...i dont kno wer to get a nice avatar...hope u can help me..tc

Hi James, glad you visited. I am one of the touring teachers. My ordained name is Tenzin Chonyi. My western name is Diana Taylor. These days I do a lot of online work with people who use our 'at home' study materials. I'm also called various names by my siblings, but I won't go into that

It is a small world, Jamie! I was in Adrian yesterday visiting some relatives. It is about an hour and a half south of my house.

Oh yes, I wish you lots of luck on Wednesday. I hope your surgery goes well and you have a very speedy recovery.

Hi Jamie! Thanks for helping me celebrate my b'day! Here's a little bit of my b'day cake for you to enjoy...no calories!!!

Jamie, I didn't think you'd be trooping around D.C. two days before your surgery!
I haven't had knee replacement, but have had arthroscopic surgery on both knees.
Thoughts and prayers coming your way....
Oh, and I'm sending a Dr. and nurse to get you prepped

with your surgery Jamie.

Jamie, all the best for the surgery mate. Hope you get back to us real soon.

Oh, and happy #400!
