9th Corps

[Rocky]

Just wondering, anyone know or heard anything about Mike & Nancy Blatnik?

Some of us sort of heard from Mike about a year and a half ago... but he didn't have much to say at all...

and it looks to have been a one time contact.

Rocky, do mean he posted something here at GSC?

If anyone has an address or phone number, if you would be so kind, contact me via the PM service or email.

Thanks, Jim.

No... I don't know if he posted anything here or not. If he did, he didn't identify himself.

I meant at another web site.

Excie, how's the job thing going? I am praying for you.

[seaspray]

Ok thanks.

[notinKansasanymore]

Seaspray, I just sent you a PM.

Yes, Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Thanks NKA, but no message in the PM.

NKA, thanks very much!

Just want to add that Mike & Nancy were very, very kind to my wife and me many years ago. It's something I will never forget. Certainly was a joy to see Nancy's smiling face again at the link you provided. Thanks again!

Where have all the Flowers Gone? Oh, wait - I mean the 9th Corps. How busy ARE we, anyway?

I'm smack in the middle of the end-of-semester crazies. Piles of work, all due yesterday.

One of my students just e-mailed that she has a doctor's note for missing class last week. She reports that she has a horrible case of the flu.

I really, really hope that it's not that flu.

We don't have any confirmed cases in Oklahoma yet, and I surely don't want this kid to end up being the first.

I hope that you are all well and happy.

Love, niKa

you're a doll

[Rocky]

I hope that you are all well and happy.

Love, niKa

Life isn't fair. You guys are enjoying the onslaught of Summer while we are going into Winter. Wet and chilly no freezing.

I'd take that!

[excathedra]

love you guys kisses

[notinKansasanymore]

Love you back, Excie. Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mammas out there!

Hey, there are a few of us people in the world to whom winter is where it's AT.

I turned in grades last Tuesday. Wooo-HOOOOOO!

Now, I'm . . . folding laundry for the entire summer. Or making curtains, or cleaning out the attic, or taking kids to camp, or . . . getting ready for my NEW JOB which will begin in the Fall. I've switched to another university, for a tenure-track job.

Even though I dropped out of college for twelve years to go and save the world, and therefore, by the time I FINALLY met my husband, did not have the years of life left to do BOTH a Ph.D and children (I had our youngest children at 40 and 42, respectively!), God has provided a tenure-track job. Master's degree tenure positions are probably more rare than hen's teeth. Near as I can tell, there was only one in my whole greater metro area this year, and competition was fierce. I'm dancing in the kitchen, and in the dining room, and out in the street. This is a big deal for me, and for my family. It's also a job where I will be able to make a genuine difference in people's lives. I'm really very, very excited about it.

I just had to share it with you guys, because you are also my family.

I love you, niKa

Wow niKa, Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I haven't been at the cafe in a while and haven't commented on anything here in an even greater while, but this is definitely comment-worthy! God is good!

[notinKansasanymore]

Thanks, Words!! Happy Spring / early Summer to you!!!

Did the prospect of being called "Doctor" play any part in your decision???

Echo! (I like that word better than "ditto" these days).
