Help me?

Get my mind off hospital things????  PLEASE?  The Dr. just left and said we would be here another day.  They are now wanting an ENT Dr. to check her.    Humor me.  Let's play a little. ********************

If they made a movie of your life, what would it be about and which actor would you want to play you? 

umm... ok... i don't really know you (and i only vaguely know what's going on right now) but i'll play.

idk what my movie would be about besides a lot of "murphy's law" type of stuff but winona ryder would HAVE to play me because she's just so... umm... WEIRD!  have you ever noticed that about her? ALL of her characters are completely bizarre... even the normal ones. kinda like johnny depp, lols!!

I guess I could have started this huh?  LOL  My life would be about the biblical man named Job.  Job lost everything, I haven't, yet I know Job.  That would be the name of the movie, "I Know Job" and I would want Tom Cruise to play me.  Why Tom?  So he could see that GOD is real and KNOW miracles CAN happen.  So sad he doesn't believe in them.   Hope you have great evening my friend!

Oh goodness Randall.  My life has been an interesting one.  The part I would want to be told would be of my childhood. Nanci can vouch for me, my life has been H E double hockey sticks! When I was 3 1/2 years old my father and mother where in the middle of a nasty divorice.  One weekend while my dad was visiting with me, the time had come tot ake me back to my mothers home.  That Sunday evening he drove up to her house, honked the horn for her to come get me and when she walked out of the house....he spun away in a hurry with me in the truck.  I lived a life not knowing my mother, thinking that my 1st step mother was my real mom.  Then one day I started remembering another lady (my momma) and I begun to ask questions.  I was told to never ask about that lady and to not wear my hair up in a certain style bcuz I looked liek that lady too much.  After I got married and started college the 1st time, I had to take Business  English.  In this class we were told to make a chart of the most drymatic things that has happened in our life.  I did just that, then the next week we were told to write a paper on the 1st thing on our list.  Again, I did just as I was asked.  The next week later the teacher was returning the papers graded and she called my name out.  I went to her desk got my paper and it said "please stay after class, we need to talk about your grade"  I was scared to death.  After everyone left, she walked over to me and asked me to tell her the story again, it was the story of my daddy takign me away.  She sat there adn cried, told me I made a 100/A+a and she was recommending me for a writting competition.  She told me to never give up on finding my momma.  That very same day as I was driving to pick up my son from day care, I thought long and hard about what she had said to me "NEVER GIVE UP".  My son and I went to the library that evening, to find nothing.  After all I had no idea who she was.  Then a few weeks later my father left town on a fathers day weekend trip.  I did the unimagineable.  I broke into my fathers home and looked through all of his "important" papers.  There I finally had a clue as to who my momma really was.  I found papers with her name, last known address and phone number, along with some of her family members info.  I went back to the library and talked to a sweet lady that helped me look up the last known address and number.  She said the name is different but the numebr matches the address.  She asked if I knew this mans name.  I had no idea who he was but I took the number, went out to the pay phone and called it!  Some lady answered adn I asked if there was a lady their named Margaret.  She said no mam you must have the wrong number so I asked her if she knew of a Patrick and again no mam I am sorry!  Then as we started to hang up I said it is ok and I thank you for your help, I'm just trying to find my momma and said goodbye.  She yelled STOP, WAIT!  Who are you she said.  My name is Susan K.F. and I am looking for Margaret M.F. All of a sudden I heard a gasp for air for a breath of air and this lady sttarted crying.  She said Susie baby is that really you, I said yes it is it really is me, who are you.  She told me Patrick is my Uncles name but no one ever calls him that as he goes by Jim that is why she didnt know the name.  We talked for a while and she gave me my mommas number.  My Uncle came in and we talked and he asked me not to call mom jsut then to give him 2 hours and he would go to her apartment to be with her in case something happened, as she wasnt in the best of health.  So I did  just that and when I called Uncle Jim answered and he said oh hell yes mam here she is hold on please.  Mom got on the phone and I said "hello do you recognize my voice" she of course said no!  So I asked her if she had somethign special in her life that went missing around November 1977 and she got irritated and yelled at me "who the heck are you and what do you want"  I then said I am Susan K.F. born 11/1/7? and she said I told you to stop your sh**.  I then said  Momma its your little girl Susan, Momma I have missed you and never have i stopped loving you.  I heard a dead silence then I heard mu Uncle say "Margaret it really is her, I spoke with her today"...then a long gasp of air and a burst of tears let out.  We talked for 3 hours and sent a ton of pictures and about 7 months later my brother came to move in with me then about 7 more months my momma came and moved in with me! My movie would be about the reconnection of me and my momma!  Ia m not sure who would play me as a child or who would play my momma either.  But I am sure it would be a good movie!

Susan,  YOU just blessed my socks off and gave me chills.  What a life!  What a movie.  NEVER GIVE UP!  ALWAYS HANG ON!!  Even if it is by your last thread of hope!  What a story! Love ya!

Ok I think it would be similar to the Waltons except on a more modern note..I would be very much like Mary Ellen and did all things but was skeptical.. Ok who would be me I think a very younger Micheal Learned becasue of her stanchness and matter of fact being..but she was and is able to laugh..

I can remember every week sitting in front of the TV with my Momma and Daddy watching the Waltons.  Shows like that are never seen nor made on NBC, CBS, or ABC in these day and times.  It has to be raunch, sex, and reality.  Those were the good old days!  Micheal Learned was a good actress.  So was Grandpa Walton and John Boy. OH!!  Remember?  Night John Boy.  Night Mary Ellen, Night Momma.  Night Daddy.  HAHAHAHA  Good old show!

Hi Randall,

 I knew I should have stayed in Birmingham.  Now, listen to Mimi.  Read your email so you won't think I'm crazy.  Well, I guess I need to explain a little bit to those who might read this. 

Randall Culpepper is not an ordinary man.  Nothing happens to him like everyone else.  Just when he thinks life is going good, bam God gives him another challenge.  Randy sometimes I think you get the idea that God is punishing you.  NOT TRUE.  HE is USING YOU.  Last night when I answered the phone I knew something very bad had happened.  I could hear the horrow in your voice.  Thank you for calling us.  I had tried to prepare myself for what I was going to see when Allison arrived at Children's Hospital.  In the past I have seen injuries as you described to me on the phone so I was preparing for the worst.  Looking back, so were those doctors who were called in.  Let me stop here to say the paramedics and the doctors at Troy did all the right things.  I want you to take Allison to let them see her very soon.  I started praying for Allison immediately even before I told Glenn about the call.  I knew there were others praying as well since it had already been hours since the accident.  The Bible teaches us that if two or more agree in His name, He WILL ANSWER.  HE HAS ANSWERED!!!!!!!  Ok, Allison is staying the night at the hospital.  ALL those doctors are having trouble understanding WHAT has happened.  GOD HEALED ALLISON CULPEPPER.  Between doctor exams and throwing up I felt impressed to wash Allison's face and hands, etc. just to cool her and hopefully make her feel better.  I asked her first and she said please so I began to slowly gently wash.  I couldn't believe what I was seeing and feeling as I washed away a few layers of mud and blood.  She had already been cleaned some but when you are throwing up a cool cloth does help.  That was all I was trying to do.  Ok, before anyone gets to thinking what is she bragging about, I want to tell you.  This is not about me but what I saw, know, feel, and witnessed.  GOD healed the bones in Allison's face, sure there some fractures but they will heal on their own.  Her nose is broken but it still doesn't look anything like mine after being broken.  Allison is a child of God.  He did not let her down.  He is there now as a witness to the medical field that HE is in charge.  If you don't believe that God does miracles, talk to Randall Culpepper.  Stay strong Son.  Have a decaf, well at least half and half, prop up your feet, count your blessings because God has been good to you today.

I LOVE YOU MY FRIEND!  You are telling the truth!  THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH!  God healed her face last night.  Troy sent the films to Univ. of South AL to be read.  USA read them and recommended she be transfered to UAB.  God is a miracle working God and these 3 guys in this room have seen it!  GOD NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME!  When the devil comes to my house, he ALWAYS leaves with 2 black eyes!  TAKE THAT DEVIL!  I feel the presence of God.  Ya'll wil have to excuse me! ***************** Carmen has brought me my Starbuck's and Lunch today.  I'm gonna chill as I finish my Latte.  It sure is good!  I have sat here reading this email to Torey, Allison, and Tanner.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep praying for him.  YOU TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM TOO.  He opened up to me a lot this afternoon.  He was at tears one time a little while ago. 

If they made a movie about me it would be a COMEDY, a SATIRE, or some off the wall INDIE movie that made people laugh and cry then laugh again.  I would be played by Delta Burke, Nia Vardalos (from Big Fat Greek Wedding) or Kathy Najimy (known for the voice of Peggy Hill on King of the Hill or the Fat Nun from Sister Act movie with Whoopie Goldberg).   I think I have definately tried to laugh my way through life even though it was not always a good idea. But, I earned these laugh lines so I have made a decision to never Botox them away.  My children on the other hand would be played by... Tom and Jerry (the cartoon characters) On a side note, I'm praying for your sweet Allison.
