  1. *Chokes on food* Redneck girl! :D She's alive after all this time! LOL...sorry had to give you a hard time.Was great to hear from you.l hope all is well with you. THings are well here. I was suppose to be cleaning my apartment but hopped on to check something out...once again, procrasinating (what I seem to be good at). Hope school is going good and that you have found time to relax and to enjoy life. :D

  2. People at NASCAR.com seem to think that Talledega is the track that may slow Johnson down...I guess we will see. I hope that you have a great Friday and a great weekend if I don't get to talk to you before hand. Hope Edwards has a great race Sunday! (As well as Gordon ;) )

  3. Well what I had began to say in my last post was that I love Jimmie and hope him the best, but I have to agree with you. (sorry I got side tracked there with Gordon. LOL.) I don't want to wish him bad luck...obviously since I like him...but in order for Gordon to catch up with him, he's going to have to run into something. This whole chase suits Johnson so perfectly because the races in it are races he is great at...they need to put in Bristol and a road race to put a crinkle in it for him since he doesn't excell at those places as he does Lowes or Martinsville where he is great at. Though Gordon is great at Martinsville as well. . .it will be interesting.

  4. I love Jimmie...but not as much as I do Jeff. No one will ever be rated higher than Gordon in my books. Guess I shouldn't say never, but I don't see it happening, even if/when he retires, it will be hard to root solely on Johnson and not to have Gordon out there. I know I'll have Johnson to go for, but I always have a hard time watching a race when Gordon is knocked out out of it so to have him permanantly out is going to be hard for me. I hope I don't have to worry about that for awhile. *crosses fingers*

  5. I felt bad for you Saturday with Edwards DNF and Martin finishing where he did (though it helped Gordon having Martin back there...sorry :) ) But yeah, Edwards kept his sense of humor. Maybe it was the news...am very happy for him. That would be cute to see his girl playing with Ella. I always love it before the race when they show her. She is getting so big!

    That is neat that you can do that with the points! That will be interesting to follow and all. Perhaps if I find the time, I'll have to google it or something!

  6. Thank-you for your messages. Having a close family I bet helps when things like this happens. I am very sorry for your loss and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

  7. I know you are not ignoring me...I was only joking. Bet school is keeping you busy. Keeps you outta trouble ;).

  8. Long time no see...you ignoring me? Hope all is well with you and that school is going well and that you are enjoying it!

  9. Come on Over! - Shania Twain
  10. "When the Sun Goes Down" - Kenny Chesney with Uncle Kracker
  11. Redneck woman - I am sorry to hear about your uncle. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

  12. Was happy to see Johnson win, though was really excited there for a while when Gordon was leading with only a handful of laps left. Though he got fourth place...though I could have dealt with another second place finish ;) though Johnson had four fresh tires and Gordon only had two so I guess I will deal with fourth especially since Lagono was threatening to take the fourt place away from him. Though Gordon moves up to third in position from fifth, though is now 138 points behind Johnson...don't understand how he can be getting farther away in points with his good finishes he has been having and leading laps and all that. Then again, Johnson did win and he is the point leader...Well I will let you read my novel I have left you before saying any more. Hope your party was well and that you had a good weekend.

  13. Well also thought of you with Martin as well. A lot of chase guys got hit in points last night...guess I should wait and hear about if you actually saw the race before going and telling you all about it. You may want to watch it for yourself if you didn't. . .lol.

  14. Well I know I already left you a novel to read but I couldn't help but to leave a couple of messages (at least) about the race. I thought about you a lot during the race and felt bad for Edwards. Talk about having a bad night though through his frustrations that he must have felt, at least Edwards was able to put a smile on when interviewed after his engine blew. Liked how he said it was a mercy killing of his engine - at least he held onto some sense of humor through it all.

  15. Thanks for thinking of me and I will do the same for you. I hope Edwards will put on a good race and a great finish for you. Every driver has a rough year and I guess this is his...but being in the top twelve, that is still pretty great! I know two or three years ago, Gordon didn't make it into the top ten(that was when there was only ten in the chase) and came home in eleventh at the end of the year. Hope all our drivers have a great race and that you are having a fun b-day party and a great weekend!

  16. But onto tonight's race, I am very excited and am hoping to watch it. We are watching my two year old niece this weekend so I guess we will see how much I will see it. It was cute. I still have a room at my parents' houe that I stay at during the weekend. Well I got a plaque at Wal-mart last month or so of Gordon/ picture on one side and stats on the other side of it. Well Peggy (my neice) was in the room with me last night and she pointed to it and said "Gordon's Picture". I guess I am teaching her something ;). LOL. Hopefully she will cheer him onto a win tonight.

  17. So it saved a lot of people from not being on the road when it happened. Plus they were working on the sstadium and I guess construction had been ahead of progress...which I guess is pretty unheard of in construction...and if they hadn't gotten done what they did the stadium, the stadium would have caved in on it. As it is it did little damage to the stairs, but only two people were injured and both cases was due to heart attacks. Which is lucky for a lot of people. I don't know, something of Carl's accident and how lucky it was for everyone made me think of that for some reason.

  18. Kinda reminds me of what I heard today on ESPN they were talking about the 1989 World Series between the Oakland A's and the San Fransisco Giants in California. It was at 5:00 their time and they had a big earthquake that lasted 15 seconds. They showed footage of bridges and roads breaking and people falling int hem and all that. Well it being rush hour, the World Series saved a lot of people from either being at the field or staying late at work to watch the game or leaving early to watch it.

  19. Oh don't worry I ramble on and on as well. Plus I enjoy reading all that you have to say. You are very knowledgeable about NASCAR. Well I took it as official that it was due to Carl's accident, but I bet you are right about it. It probably shook them up a lot...as it did for Carl and all the other people that was there at the track that day. I am glad to hear your brother and his friends were OK especially sitting there. Everyone was very lucky that it wasn't worse than what it was. It was surprising to me to see that fence hold his car as it seemed to do. Especially taking in the weight of the car plus the velocity it took to send hte car up there as fast as he was going and all that. Very lucky that it wasn't worse.

  20. Wow...you must be good at math and know what points are given for which position they end up on. I never knew how they did the points other than the five for a lap lead and another five for leading the most laps. You must also know some math as well...which I am bad at. (That's what I have Charlie for, right? LOL) Well I love and hate your scenerio. LOL. Love it for Gordon because that is what he needs right now, but don't like it for Martin or Johnson. And seeing how they are at "Jimmie's House" as they call it, I doubt he'll be finishing all the way in 27th spot unless he's involved in the "big one" or has some major car issues. But then again, it wouldn't hurt for him to have at least one bad race, would it? . . .;)

  21. As for Edwards...sixth isn't bad at all compared to where I thought he ended up. As I said, last I saw him, he was in the twenties something. So sixth is pretty good for that. "Always Next Year" Boy does that saying sound familiar! LOL That seems to be our Cubs slogan...there's always next year. I've been saying that for years with them. LOL

  22. Please don't hate me for saying that...lol. Like I said, I don't wish them anything bad because I do like them and am happy for them. I just wish Gordon can at least get a little closer to them and have a chance to go at the win...for his drive for five.

  23. Your list sounds great as to Saturday night's finishes...espeically Gordon winning like that. But if Martin and Johnson finish right behind him, then I don't think it would help Gordon in points. The past couple of weeks he has finished second and point wise he is no closer to them than he was beforehand. Don't want to wish anything bad on Johnson or Martin for I do like them, but if Gordon is ito gain any ground on them, I fear they may need a LITTLE bad luck to go their way - if that makes sense. Or am I wrong in thinking that? I guess I am not exactly sure how the points go, but know that with Johnson winning and Martin close behind, Gordon's second place finish didn't put much of a dent in his points into theirs.

  24. Are they slowign teh cars because of Edwards' crash? And yeah it was an odd thing with things hitting at the right moment. I am not pointing the finger at Edwards or anyone. It could have been anyone...I just remember Edwards saying it was his fault.

  25. I was only joking about GOrdon not being on your list, but your reasons sound about right even though I hate thinking of him as an old timer. It is good by the standards of what you said, but what I fear when hearing that is that one day he's going to retire and then what will I do? LOL And everyone is entitled to their own opinion...though my opinion is that everyone hating Gordon is wrong. HA HA HA. Besides you'd make a perfect Gordon fan. Don't you think? HA HA HA. Just joking. I know you don't hate him otherwise you would have told me to shut up a loooonnnngggg time ago! LOL
