Title: Something very cool!
Post by: LADavid on November 06, 2009, 04:51:46 pm
As some of you may know, I joined the hat club a while back -- sort of.  Steve made me a hat and sent it to me -- confirmation and everything.  What Steve didn't know is that the people who live on the lower floors of my building are morally challenged.  The hat was taken before I could get to it.  I felt bad because Steve went to the effort and it also reminded me of the area I live in to be near studios. What could have been fun -- wasn't.

Well, Sara (Sara143) felt bad as well.  And Sara (God bless her) made me a hat and sent it to me (this time by signature confirmation).  So now I am officially a member of the Hat Club.  My thanks again to Steve and thank you Sara for thinking of me.  Now hopefully I can load the picture.

David,

Glad that you actually received this hat.  It looks nice on you.  Your smile is looking good, too.  Glad that you are now part of the hat club.

You look good in your new hat!  Kudos to Sara for her initiative.  I hope your balance issues have resolved somewhat...we've missed you around here.

Excellent! I am going to add this picture to my web site as a proxy for the hat you almost got.

I also agree that the smile and facial expression is looking very good. I think that is a twinkle I see in your eye.

Nice work, Sara.

David! You've been VERY missed around here!  That is so neat what Sara did!  You look fantastic! Truly! :)

Sara, well done... one of the best "Acts of Kindness" anyone could do (as well as Steve!).

Very nice!

Looking good there with the new hat!! Although I live in Arizona, it's gonna get cold and as my surgery is on Dec 9th, I probably should consider something like this.  And Cap Deb? Did you know that Sept 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day? I am sure you did, because you'd just kill on that day, or any other day! A hearty "Arrrrrr" to you all :)

Wonderful idea, Saralynn - and done in Steelers colors, too!

Looks like Steve has some very good competition   ;)

Great picture, David.  Like others, I think your smile looks fantastic.

Best,

Jan

It worked!!!!!  I wore the "magic" hat during the Steeler game last night and the Steelers won!  I guess I should have worn it during the Iowa game, Sara.

Thank you all for your support and your comments.  And Jim, as far as my balance -- still having good days and bad days and I have no clue what the connection is.  Driving isn't getting any easier either.  But I'm sticking with PT until it's resolved.

Have a great week.
David

David .....

Missed this thread over the week-end .... :(  Catching up now and ditto to all of the others.  David, you look wonderful and Sara, you are incredible in how you help the rest of us in all kinds of ways!

I can identify with the balance ..... some days I am way off for no known reason, then the next day is not so bad.  Guess that is the way it is going to be.  Can never let down my guard, however.  Fell just the other day on the way up our stairs, of all things ..... totally lost my visual cues ..... fortunately the stairs are padded and no harm done ..... except to my pride.   :-[

Thoughts and best wishes,

Clarice

I don't have balance problems, but I do have a little hill between my front door and the driveway. Usually I bound down it with no problems but yesterday, for no known reason, I slid down on my posterior. Some days things like that just happen. I was glad the kids weren't there to witness - they would have had too much fun at Mom's expense.

I'm glad the hat worked out for the Steelers, David. Do you throw it up in the air every time they score?

Good for you, David and how nice of you, Sara!

I'm so glad you got this one! Now there are two AN Steeler hats; one in an undisclosed location.

Could someone knit me a Cowboy hat (blue and silver)? Maybe that will help them in the playoffs this year.

Great to see the picture and I do hope the balance issues get better too.

I made another black and gold hat as a Christmas present for my niece who is at Mizzou (also my alma mater). From David's earlier post I gather that University of Iowa is also black and gold. I have four purple and white hats to do - my eldest daughter attends Truman State University, a nephew goes to New York University, a niece is at Winona State University and another at Kansas State. Crazy.

while you are at the purple & white - I went to Abilene Christian U - purple & white.  I am ALWAYS trying to brainwash the girlies into going there...

Argh! Not another one! Where, I ask, is diversity in school colors?

Post by: CHD63 on November 10, 2009, 09:48:11 pm
Yikes!  I did my undergrad at the University of Sioux Falls ..... colors purple and white!   :-*  It would be interesting to see what the founding dates were for each of these schools, or at least when the school colors were chosen.  Maybe it is like the first cars that were all black.

hey i think my college colors were purple and white too! (Stephen F Austin State University). i can't remember; been too long.
the colors i ALWAYS see (high schools around here, etc) are black and red.

i still like blue and silver. we bought a blue car a coule of years ago and named it TOM after Tom Laundry. the best cowboy coach.
