Hola Todos. (Nagi, P and O)
I'm still alive too and miss you all much.

OHMYGOSH!!! CHISPAS!!!!!! How are you? Are you alright?

Hola Nagi.
Yes, I'm doing OK. One day at a time for me though. One day at a time.

God Bless you, Chispas.

Hi Chispas glad to know you are OK.

Thanks you guys. I was trying to catch up on some of the old posts, but there are too many for me to digest. Are you all doing ok? Anyone going to see Mama Mia?

Hi chispas!!!

Hey Zee. Weh! (said in the accent and with emfasis) Weh. How are you Zee? Miss you

I am still debating about that movie...what do you think?

Not going to see Mamma Mia, Chispas. I don't even know what it is. But! I hope you stick around because you had a good many of us worried about you!

For me its the music. It takes me back to a time when I was too young to hang out all night in the discos and old enough to dream about hanging out at the discos. I had no idea what the songs were saying and would replace the words with some mumbo-jumbo I made up. So now I feel nostalgic about that time when I hear the ABBA songs.

I am still debating about it, seems to have good reviews...

BRB. Living in a condo now and I'm still trying to adjust. Have to put on presentable clothing before opening the windows to get air. LOL

LOL

What size are you...what are the particulars that you are interested in...you can PM me, I am sure that ther are some VJ angels that can help

Hey Chispas hope things are looking up for you.

Naggie I send you links for some nice inexpensive dresses.

hello chispas, glad to see you're back on board.
Nagi, hope you find something gauzie and beautifully nostalgic for your JP day.

Good morning everyone

Morning! Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Morning!

0, thanks for the links and nice words! You know it is much appreciated!!

P, as far as size....who knows?! Im shaped weird. I have a very huge chest, a small rear end, and currently my middle area is swollen due in part to my kidney. My legs are very tiny, so whatever fits, fits.

Zee, the days are getting closer.......

I hate it when people don't call me back

I hate it when friends treat you like a customer and put you on hold to answer another call. Very rude, IMHO. 10 of these....

Morning everyone



Remind me not to ever do that to you so you won't hit me

Good morning, all!

Good Afternoon, A. M. !

I like your Spanish.

Good Morning from Caly. Hola Early Birds como estan?

bien... Y tu?

LOL! Hola New Yorker Girl. You made me laugh hard just now.

I try Most of the para's at my school are Spanish so I'm making even more of an effort to learn
How are you Chispas...my fellow New Yorker?

I am well today. I'm just coocooning in my bedroom watching Nigerian movies. My relatives have all left Brooklyn for the weekend to attend my cousin's wedding. It was too costly for me to go, so I sent my daughter (she's in Philly) to represent me. How is it for you teaching in NYC? I recall is was tough 20 years ago so I can only guess it might be more challenging now.

Hola, Chispas! Que tal?

Estoy muy bien Nagi. How r things with you?

Bien, gracias.

Mmmmmm.... African movies..that should make you fee better Sorry you couldn't make the wedding

As for teaching in New York...I teach in District 75 (self-contained special education), and I work with children with autism. My kids are 6 and 7 years old. So, I am really not with the mainstream. Although it is still challenging working in D75. D75 deals with children with emotional disturbance, autism, mental retardation, severe learning disabilities and the like.

I love my kids

Wow. That sounds challenging. My son is working as an autism specialist para while in college. He says one of the best things about working with his students is that they are transparent in character. He never has to guess what they are thinking once you learn their personalities. With the increasing rate of autism in the US, I say that you are in high demand. I have the high school students who know more than I do and aren't afraid to tell me that they know more than me. If the recertification weren't so lengthy, I would have switched to Special Ed years ago. Just to add, I just spoke to my daughter who said she was not able to see the wedding ceremony because the pastor ordered the door locked at 2pm on the dot. They got there around 2:02pm! I would have been hot had I flewn 3,000 miles and not gotten to go in the church.

Good Afternoon I am still alive, more today than yesterday...

but not as much as tomorrow????

That's cool that your son is getting this kind of experience now.

I would be pissed about the door closing too. He could have at least given them 15 minutes!!!

I dont know...he comes home from work tomorrow....

I am back from house sitting and traveling. Wanted to share pix of my brothers wedding in Jackson Hole, WY: http://jonaphotography.blogspot.com/2008/07/debra-zach.html

Still waiting for confirmation from the Liberian Presidents Coordinator.

me finally here. someone exceeded the fair access policy last night with downloads and we've been slower than dialup for 24 hours
good to see you back on vj chispas

Thanks for sharing the pics Olivia, very nice and unique.

My daughter is a speech pathologist and works with children with autism. She has a very special touch with these children and loves her work. When she had her bridal shower, it was held in a restaurant run by young adults with autism, cooks, waiters etc.
It was one of my best experiences with a catered event.




nix verstehen.

Morning.

I need to drive to Jersey today

Good Morning!

Rain and gray skies here. I'm off to church soon. That should brighten the day.

Morning, off to church too.

My son went and bought a motorcycle yesterday. I guess he thinks me worrying about him riding the fool thing will keep my mind off the immigration wait.
