Patsy went to the doctor today and was dismissed. She got pain pills for the last time. He said it might improve up to a year. No more therapy. We will have to do it on our own. He said she was doing fine. Her xrays look good. It will just take time for the pain to go away.

Bob you seem to be having trouble staying online. Is this true?

Shelley, I have the program, When we are both online I will send it to you. I run vista all the time now. We are going to the Dr. at 4:45 today. I have to help Robert load mom's push lawn mower at 4:00 pm Will let you know what the dr says later.

Greg, The stock to buy today is PTV

Kay, Greg's baby's name is Olivia.

Hello to all, I am trying some new software. It is called Vista. It is a messenger service that you can use aol, yahoo, ICQ and MSN all on one peice of software. You can also post to the blogger site directly from this software. What a kick! I do have the setup file if anyone is interested.

I tried to blog yesterday and it wouldn't let me post. It has been raining here all day too. I went to k-mart and picked up the rest of the medicines. Then I went to drug imporium and picked up some stuff. Then headed on over to Sam's. Got us some slim fast so we can lose weight. Went to Greg's last night. Olivia is now scooting around all over the floor. She can go wherever she wants. She likes to be with the rest of the family on the floor. She let me and Patsy hold her for awhile. I think she is getting use to us. We all played video games and Alex was showing me all his neat moves. Needless to say I didn't know which end was up. Patsy is asleep in her chair. She goes to the knee doctor Monday. Kay, how is that sleep machine working out?

Not much going on here. I hope Kari does ok. No rain here today but cool. I went to Kmart in O'fallon and got Patsy's medicine today. Kay, Mable did call I am not sure if it was the 24th or 23rd.

Patsy says a big thanks for all the birthday wishes.

Shelley, I tried that site and you have to use real player to play the songs. I hate real player. I may try to use two computers one to play the songs and the other to record with. No singing tonight. Of course I will sing Happy Birthday to Patsy. Patsy say "thanks Leon"

Shelley, I got you file you sent. I have a KarPlay which plays songs and has the words on the screen. It is neat. I got your audacity to record with. The problem is when I have both programs going they seem to slow down each other and the recording is no good. I have my computer hooked to my amp and with the KarPlay we can sing and have good loud sound. I just can't record at the same time with any luck. Do you have any ideas? I don't know how you got such good sound quality. We sung until we were hoarse tonight. Patsy wanted to have her turn so she did. She sang several songs. We had to stop..it was getting so late I was afraid we would keep Lee and Karen awake.

Shelley; We heard the CD....thought it was great. All of you sounded real good. We played music for three hours and I couldn't get one of your songs to come up. So I told Patsy to go in the bed room while I found out what number it was. Then I put it on that CD. And put it on random. I didn't fool her. But she really enjoyed it all..

Of course I will come and see you :) I'm glad you didn't come tonight...the weather was really bad. It will be better tomorrow I am sure...sorry I missed you on the Yahoo, I was coaching Maryanne how to get to AOL chat lol....

I am not sure if Greg already got the "Shrek" movie...but I am pretty sure I brought it over to the kids at Greg's House. The only movie on that CD is Harry Potter (DivX)....Is Shel and family here??? What is going on?

Greg, don't forget Stacey made that CD with the two movies on it...It is ready for the children to watch. It is on my TV. And Shelley yours is in Stacey's room. The weather is good here.

Shelley, Yes we sure don't want you to be out in bad weather. That was a good price on the soup mix. You could have gotten me 20 but I am glad you me the 6 boxes maybe the next time you can get me some more. I told Stacey you were coming tonight and she said she wanted to see you. She was just here a few minutes ago. She had to go to the bank and do a few errands. Well everyone keep in touch. Greg were are you today?

Thanks Stacey. Shelley will be here tomorrow Friday night about 7 or 8 pm. The kids haven't seen that movie yet. Greg has been working out of town. Hope to see you tomorrow.

Happy belated Bday dad...love you soooooooooooo much :) :) :)

Hi all, feeling a little better tonight...am having alot of emotional problems, but Dr. Deiterich did say this might happen, especially with my mental state. Shel, are you coming soon? Greg and Shel...how did the kids like Harry Potter? Love you all...Stace

Greg here is the link to the new Family Tree site. I think you will find it interesting.

Here is the new address to my homepage

Stacey and Shelley make sure when you log on the next time to click on team and then your name and then edit my profile and give yourself a nickname. You can use Stacey and Shelley or whatever you want...this is used to sign your post instead of your full name.

Do you think I should turn the posts around and have the last post last instead of first?

Ok, I see..I didn't know you could play by ear. That is a gift that very few people have. I certainly don't. This sure was a nice day. I have been sitting on the porch. Another good stock day. So I am happy about that. I don't think Leon know he can get on yet. I haven't told him. I thought maybe he would see this.

Shelley I thought you said you were coming here friday and then you said you were going to be in Wright city on sat...??

Leon, I logged in as you and everything works fine. You will see when you go to http://www.blogger.com and sign in with your user name and password that it will say Vaughn Blackshear's blog, just click on that and go from there.

Welcome Russell Blackshear, I see you are all signed up and ready to blog.

We will looking for you. We are in need of a professional lawn mower man like Brad. I don't really know where to start.

We are back home now safe and sound. We went to Ruby Tuesday's and ate. We had to bring some of it home. We will have that later. I will try and run yahoo and aol instant messenger more. Did good on stocks yesterday and today. Yesterday made $442.61 and today $2511.97

We have to go to the doctor in ILLINOIS today at 5pm We will leave the house at 3pm should be back around 7pm
Shelley, don't give up on us. We will do better.

Here is a windows tip. If you want to find a map to someplace or someones home just go to my homepage and type in the google bar their address with a comma between street and town and state and then click on map which will be the first thing in the list and the map will already have a star at the address. Good computing

Not much going on today. Patsy and I took a short walk today down the sidewalk. It sure was a nice day. We talked to Shelley and Stacey on the phone. Couldn't get Greg..his phone has been busy all weekend.

sorry i was way late

Welcome Shelley Robertson

I think I found the add link feature.

I guess that link didn't work.

Just want to try and put a web address here.
http://www.geocities.com/vblackshear/

Seems like this is sort of a posting place that we can all use. Just close family perhaps.

This is a test to get started and see what happens.
