Is it possible he could be medically red shirted for his Freshman year? 

He also was sent home early from the Manning Passing Academy last month.

That right there proves he's a rat. 

Happy Birthday to all!

Iris, it wasn't Rocky Top BUT... you'll be happy to know, we worked it into COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, ABRIDGED... believe it or not.  ;-)

I believe. Boy, would we love to hear that!
Does this mean you've now added song writing to your other talents?

I really enjoyed reading that. She has really got you down pat. BTW, which song did Ava sing? (please say Rocky Top) 

We loved listening to that! Thanks for bringing back some good memories of Leonard Post toasty. 

My surgery was on June 24 and I've lost 60 lbs so far.

 

For those of you who don't read fb, Debbie says she is feeling soooo much better. She has a test today, if all is well, they will let her start eating real food. She says chicken bullion soup and jello sounds delicious. Since she hasn't had real food since December, I guess anything would sound good. She says she has every intention of watching the Vol's first game sitting in her own recliner at home. She even talked about making a tailgate towards the end of the season. WTG Debbie!!!!

I didn't even know his name, yet I benefit from his Tricare for life victory every time I get a prescription filled. A belated Thank You Sir, for your service and your care.

I feel the same way about Interstates. A few cities try to make them look more appealing by planting flowers in the median, otherwise, they all look alike.

You added things I forgot to mention, so it's good that we both posted. The Doctor said she is a slow healer (duh, ya think?) She will have to eat very small portions the rest of her life and chew, chew, chew before she swallows. He also told Ray before the surgery that he had several options in mind and he would make his decision when he got in there. I hope this was the right one.

Lyn sent me the UT flag just in time for it to be flown over COP Fortress just before we closed it down. I have all three of the flags shown, plus the 101st Airborne flag the was typically flown as well. Im keeping the US colors, giving the Afghan and 101st flags to two guys that are soon laving our platoon and the UT flag is (hopefully) being presented to the current coaching staff. We'll see how that works out 

I just bet that Coach Jones will be honored to get it. And that sounds just like our Lyn to send you something that brought home just a little closer to you. Thank you for your service, and thank your family for hanging in there and keeping the light burning in the window till you came home. 

I know it was a rough time for both of you. It sounds like all is under control now and for that we're all thankful. Tell her we are praying for continued good results.

Droner should be getting ready to go to work so he can leave early. 

Love the flags!

I don't know about all that stuff Hollerboy, I just want to say that it's great to see your name on here again!

Oh gosh, does this mean they'll probably have to sit out the first half of their opening game?

That's awesome news!!!

Ray said they let her go home but he has to have her walking a lot so her lungs won't get congested. He was on his way to the pharm to pick her up some good happy stuff (I hope) I know she'll heal a lot faster at home in her own bed.

Vandy is still looking for a rehab center for her. Since her breathing is some better, Ray is hoping they will just send her home. But, she still has the wound vac, so I don't know. She said Ray would call tonight and let me know where she is. I have to work till 8:00 PM so I may have to call him back later tonight.

The latest is that Vanderbilt is sending her to a rehab facility as soon as they can find one that will accept patients with a wound vac, etc. They aren't real happy with her lung function, they feel she needs to work on that for a week or two. Still a lot of drainage from the surgery, they say it should heal up in another week or so. She said that she so appreciates the prayers on her behalf, and to please keep them coming. I know this........she has a will that is as strong as an ox. Any normal person would have been laid low months ago. But, our Barbi has never been normal and with God's help, she'll be watching the Vol's opening game while she sits in her own living room. 

Thanks Becky. I'm off today, so I'll call later to see if she made it home. 

Oh yeah, that's one we all liked, y'all were talking about things you hate. How bout "Now we got us a ballgame'.

Funny how we never got tired of hearing 'give Him Six'.
