My babies are raising money for children's cancer research. Hannah and a few other girls are cutting 8 inches of their hair for wigs for kids doing chemo. Pretty cool thing for an 11 year old to organize. Here's the clip the local news did for a story. http://www.kxnet.com/sto...-plan-to-brave-the-shaveFor some reason, Julie always gets credit for how pretty the girls are. |

awesome. do you think they would take my hair? All four of them? I will get in there and make a donation.

I say, "Yes they take after their mother." |

having issues with my card. will have to talk to the company in the morning. (I never call late at night as I am not sure where the CSR is from. I might end up with a couple of NFL jerseys for the LA Rams.) |

Hope others donated too. Yeah I wasn't really soliciting, just showing off my beautiful daughters. Times are tough, and people really don't have a lot of extra scratch right now. I appreciate you caring though Wayne. Without breakthroughs in technology and the kind people that fund research, we might not have saved Mia. We are very fortunate for the times we live in. |

I know that you were showing off your beautiful daughters not asking for funds. BUT I AM ASKING FOR FUNDS from others. |

Yeah, but those funds should be sent to help Cheesey until he gets his SS problems resolved. Trust me, the St Baldrick's fundraiser here in the ivory tower will have plenty of cash in it. |

I got a nice thank you email from Hannah today. It was sweet.
My wife said, "That is very mature. Her Daddy must be very proud." |

I appreciate the donation Wayne, it was very generous. I don't often bash someone who compliments me but- After consideration that's just BS. You may have started life in a shit storm but you landed right in the middle of a rose garden. You have beautiful, caring daughters who love you and Julie and each other. Many parents would give their there left arm to raise girls like yours. (They would screw them up but that is besides the point.) You have a beautiful, loving and hard working wife who has been a helpmate in the best of times and through the dark nightmare nights. I know you know how many couples don't even try to make it through what you and Julie had to face. Then again most guys don't have a wife like what you have. There is no doubt in my mind YOU MARRIED UP young man. Yeah you have been kicked in the nuts so hard that they turned purple but that is not what defines you. You are a good man despite that. If you are a jackass it is because you like it and want to be a jackass. You have more going for you than most men. Suck it up and take the crap that comes along with the good just like everyone else has to. Being a jackass about it is like being a whiny little bitch and I am sure you hate whiny.  |

Fuckin Gunny won't let me tear into anybody and you won't let me tear into myself. I guess I better go pick a fight with Buckeye. Good night Wayne, trust me, I know how good I have it and I should give thanks like Jimmy Stewart: http://www.google.com/ur...mp;bvm=bv.43828540,d.b2I |
