The NIGH****CHMAN - Sunday 9/6
I have to work tonight, so I will be back in a little while.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Game was fun...ALMOST got a foul ball! Landed close, then bounced up and over and a guy a few rows away bullied his way up the stairs and took it right out of my grasp. Oh well, he TRULY needed it more than me (rolling my eyes). Of course my kiddo was with me and I would have given it to her! A few people kinda looked at the guy with a pretty disgusted look. Oh well, like I say, if he needed it that badly, then I'm glad he got it. Astros won so Paul wasn't a happy camper. He of course wanted his Phillies to win. Holy cow, LOTS of Philly fans there!!!
Went to dinner afterwards with a few friends that Paul met up with. I was so irked because I didn't eat even six bites before getting full (pouch had extremely "tight" feeling all day so never ate much today anyway). I pushed the plate towards him so he could eat off it. He was busy talking to the guys and I was busy with my kids so never saw the waiter take off with the plate. He assumed I was done and didn't want any more so took it away. Never asked if I wanted it, just tossed it out. Needless to say, I'll be getting in touch with them in the VERY near future. This waiter was a jerk anyway. Paul's friend's wife never got her meal. The waiter just messed up and didn't put the order in. After she finally realized it hadn't come (she has two small boys so was busy making sure they were eating), when she inquired, the waiter immediately put the blame on HER. "Why didn't you say something sooner"??? HUH??? I don't care what the problem was, the customer is always right and even if he THINKS that, he shouldn't EVER say it! We have eaten at this place many times and never have had service like that. I am definitely bummed though...would have liked nibbling on my leftovers later on...
So starting to wind down. Need to go jolt myself up with some iced tea now....
I did one worse than you last week when Mary and I went to eat. I asked for a box for each of us. The waiter brought us two to go containers (Mary and I each had eaten about 1/3 of our meal). I left them on the table. Did not realize it until about an hour later.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
The game was good and seats were AMAZING. We were three rows from the field right on the third base line, about 10 feet from where the ball boy sits out there. Sarah got bored pretty quickly and the other two girls just kept wanting us to go up and buy junk food for whatever reason. Not just junk food, but EXPENSIVE junk food!!! Sheeeesh. Both will be working their hineys off tomorrow though because they both have a district match to play in on Tuesday so need do some "warming up" tomorrow!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

I have been best friends with my ex-boyfriend for almost 20 years now. We 'dated' in JR high and then after we broke up we became best friends. I lost contact with him for about 3 years or so and then all of a sudden he found me on My Space.
2 Weeks after he found me his wife died. She went septic but since it was 6months out from WLS they said it wasn't related. That was a little less than 1 1/2 years ago. Last Sunday I text him to find out how he was and he didn't return my text or call. Then on Wed I text him again asking him if he was ignoring me joking around when he text back he told me that his Grandma died and he wasn't ignoring me but he was dealing with that. I was in shock and told him I was very sorry. She died of brain cancer.
Then I went grocery shopping when I got a text from him and I was about to hit ignore (since I was in the grocery store and some of our convo gets pretty heated sometimes
) When I read it and it said his mom just passed away about 2 hours ago from a heart attack. 
I have known his whole family my whole life. Here he is a single father with 2 boys to raise on his own. His wife was only 27 when she died and his boys miss their mom really bad now they are going through this. Please pray for this young family. My heart is broken to see my best friend like this.
He is supposed to let me know when the service is so I can go for support for him and his family. His dad is a good guy and has fought lung cancer (had the bottom of his lung removed) just this past spring. No more signs of cancer for now.
Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "
HW/461 LW/251 GW/189 CW/274 (yep, a DS semi-failure - it happens :-( )
Also for me I am still unemployed and looking for a job....possibly in Dallas....
