Why do I have to have a title: Stuff

Ok, I can't get Asa's vid on youtube, its too big, and I can't cut it down so I put a couple of pics on the laddreunion pic page. And ask Sandi about getting hit in the head with a cup last night, she said something about everyone knows she can't catch!lol that is other stories. One true one is that we use to bath together and she crapped in the tub, yea Sandi it was you, the only one that did not get out of the tub. I don't have that many stories on Debbie, she was too sneaky, and didn't tell on herself, and older, much, much older than Sandi and I. Then there is Jodi, but she is too serious to make fun of, she would be wondering what we really meant. But hey, there is always Sandi, she is funny, and I will say a lot of things about her, but she is really smart, and creative and much more fun to be around. So anyhoo, Sara there are some bigger pic's, and if you see my vid on youtube.com 2ndchanceband, just remember that video makes you look 30 pounds heavier. And Sandi the dog is the dog you had to give back to it's owners!

Looks like we are on line together. Okay, after 50 years, this time, and this time, only...yeah..it WAS me that pooped in the bath tub. I knew it all the time! Just didn't bother me the way it did you and Debbey. I was just having too much fun to get out of the tub and sit on the pot...and I didn't realize it would float! LOL! You know it's kind of funny that after all these years I totally remember sitting in that tub....all alone with the floater while you and Debbey scrambled to safety. Best I remembered, it actually pissed me off cuz I was having fun and you guys let a little thing like that get in our way! As for the dog, yeah, I remember that now. Hey, catch a few, loose a few, huh? Still yet, it's not as bad as our Grandma stealing that pony! Okay...gotta go look at Asa's pics. Dang it! I've got to pay more attention. I didn't even know there was a Ladd picture page. DUHHHHH.....

NOTE TO SELF:

NEVER, NEVER, EVER read this blog while eating!!

Or maybe that would be a good way to shed my "winter 100 lbs"!

And little Jodi-kins is a little on the serious side, ain't she?? She uses a lot of big words too! Fear not, as I am determined to dumb her down a bit! I'll have her using curse words in no time! ; )

Now Corey, well all know that she cusses when she is by herself. Even mom will let one fly when she is mad, but I was sixteen before I ever herd my dad let any loose, and I watched him in fights when I was even younger. He would just say you stay over there and I'll stay over here, then they would come over and he would knock them out. But work on Jodi she needs a little humbling.

jim said...

Sorry Cory, I have been misspelling your name.

I need humbling? You think I'm too proud? Ugh. This is as bad as the shocks I get on that what not to wear show when all the clothes they make people throw out exactly like what is hanging in my closet. OK I'll make a list to add flatulence, floaters and fowl language to my repertoire...damn it. :-D

Sarah Williamson said...

Thanks Jim, I saw your picture on the Photobucket page and it looks great. It was so much easier to see that you still have the Ladd good looks!

Debbey said...

Cory you sure eat a lot. Is your computer in the kitchen?

Cory Ladd said...

Nah...Laptop with wireless internet. I'm getting really good at typing with my toes!

But I also quit smoking so I'm picking up the eating pace a bit. I may weigh 700lbs by the time this reunion happens.

Sandi said...

I'll be with you Cory. I'm GOING to try to quit. AGAIN. I hate it. It's stinky, and it takes up too much time. But it's so much fun! Seriously, I've tried gum, patches, been hypnotized 3 times, hey, I even tried the "smokeless cigarettes". What a hoot! You could actually bend over like you were looking for something in your purse while you were at Sunday school and take a puff! (I wouldn't do that, but "people say" you could. Any way, I'm thinking of cold turkey.....(with honey and glass of milk). seriously tho, I think this time I'm going to call those hot lines and let them talk me thru the uges. As for gaining weight, at this point in my life, I think fluffy is good!
Any way....stick with it Cory. I'm proud of you!
Oh...and one more thing, I don't know which Jodi you guys have been talking to, but the Jodi I talk to keeps me laughing constantly!!! In fact she got on the phone with Jack last week and he laughed about as hard as I ever heard him laugh. When they hung up, I said, "what did she say?" He just kept laughing and said; "Hell I don't even know..it was just funny!"

Orrin Newton Ladd said...

ummmm Sandi, people HAVE noticed how you bend over in Church and let a puff go! Yikes holey ruffled dressess Batman


and.... in the event that it might help... this is how I quit smoking cold turkey two years ago (come March 30).....

I was smoking 2-3 packs a day... and it was really gettin me down, wheezing all the time, waking myself up at night coughing and rasping away... out of breath just running up a flight of stairs... and Lord help me come time to bale hay! my thought process went something like this:

1. I knew I needed to quit but didnt seem to have the will power or strength to quit.
2. I am not particularly religous, but I am spiritual. I have an undying faith in God.
3. I knew that God would rather see me take better care of my body, and not smoke.
4. I knew that with God, anything ... all things are possible.
5. I went to bed one night and spoke with God, asking for his help, admitting that I could not do this alone.
6. I accepted his help and threw away my cigarettes when I got out of bed the next morning.
7. I carried an unopened pack of cigarettes in my shirt pocket for a month. If I had not had them available... I would likely have bummed one from someone. Having the unopened pack handy, but not open, kept me from asking for one and firing that sucker up...
8. One day at a time. Knowing that I had help from above and did not have to merely depend upon my own strength.

It would be so wonderful it helps you!

Love,
Orrin

Orrin, my mother (aunt earnie) carried cigarettes in her purse for a long time after she quit. I guess that works for a lot of people. Unfortunately we also found a fuzzy piece of steak in her purse. I wonder what that meant?

I was a 2.5 pack a day guy myself and had been feeling even more sluggish than usual. I've been using this drug called Chantix. I've gotta say that it's really helped. I've tried to quit before but have pretty much driven everyone nuts around me. With this stuff -- I felt like I COULD go for one, but didn't NEED one. Within a few weeks, even that went away.

I told Ain't Aud I was trying to quit and she said, "then why don't you just quit"! I swear I would think about that when I felt like I wanted a smoke! LOL

It's only been about 3 weeks of ZERO drags / smokes and I feel pretty good about being done. We can't really smoke in public here in Communist Illinois, so that's helped too! Feel free to call me if ya need a little support!

ummm Debby, when I was growin up we woulda called that jerky and fought over it!

Normally I would laugh at that but after some of these blogs I hesitate. At least we won't have to worry about what we feed you when you come down.
