You should go to that Tulsa-ISU game on that Thursday night, find JD, then post on HN that you are sitting two rows behind him but don't say hi. He loves it when dudes do that stuff and it is totes not creepy.

And sometimes you're lucid and sometimes you're not. Seriously, thanks for sharing all of the personal information you shared in this thread. Enjoy your daily 1 mile walk from the train to your office! Please, continue to pontificate.

Hey brah, one time JD was at some game and some prole was sitting like two seats down from him and then was on here posting about how he was sitting by JD at the game but he didn't come over and say hi - rather he just posted about it in a creepy stalker-like manner. JD was all liek "WTH, man?" I guess some people get star struck in the presence of a legend like JD. I think it prolly happened before you joined so you missed the reference.
 
Jon, sorry to hear about Andrea. Mary has an Auto-Immune disorder also but hers relates to repelling common illnesses. If I get a cold for two days, hers lasts two weeks.

Take care of your three girls. You can write from anywhere.
 
JD - plz don't banish me, but a former long-time legendary HN poster (going WAAAAY back to even the Scout days) who started a covert group that got him and several other people banned wanted to wish you the best. I have pasted his thoughts below.

Dearest Jon,

Thank you for the update about you and your family. I cannot fathom how difficult it would be to change careers and move your family in your 40's. It really is a testament to the love you have for your wife that you would sacrifice so much in order to maek her happy. I think that living deep in the heart of Big XII country will allow you to have a different perspective on Iowa football that will certainly be insightful in the future.

It is unfortunate that the "man-on-the-ground" aspect of HN will probably fall by the wayside. While the opinion aspect of HN is great, I will miss the "insider info" that you get here. Will HN have another reporter on the ground in Iowa City? Surely one of the moar insightful HN posters can chip in and give us that aspect, no unliek what Spank did for basketball way back when, before he got distracted by Casey's Pizza. Obviously I am not suggesting that I do it, because, although I am obviously a great writer, I'm probably out of your price range, but I am sure someone like TheBoat or Billso don't have very much going on, and would love to chip in for the greater good of the site.

To conclude, good luck on your future home and all that in OK. Although you know I maek fun of it all the time, HN is still occasionally a great site that I still read fairly frequently.

Best wishes, hugs and kisses, I love you...

Ghost

VintageHawkeye/Scorpion also wishes you the best and sends his regards and hopes you guys can meet up again at a tailgate at some point in the future.
 
Oh, and JD, ghost says that other than "dearest" and the over the top closing, he is serious and doesn't want you to read it as trolling because he genuinely likes your site and content.

Jon,

I moved to Owasso May 26th. I'm in Honey Creek, right by the school off 96th. Where are you at? maybe we're neighbors? Although, with as small as Owasso is (I like the small town feeling), it's hard not to be "neighbors."

I hope things improve for your wife with all of this OK heat. That is one thing OK has plenty of.

Ha! That is unreal. We WERE supposed to be in Honey Creek. June 10 was our move in and close date. But got there and sellers hadn't completed a repair, and we noticed active termite infestation. Deal fell thru. We've been in a 1BR 554sqft furnished apt since. Yeah, not ideal. It's been quite a summer, lets just say that. We are in meadowcrest left on 109th off Garnett. I love this town.
 
OK4P, tell the gang thanks. I do appreciate it. In process of moving in today (finally) and will get back with more later detente is in the air

I'll pass that along. VintageHawkeye got stuck in kind of the reverse situation you are in. He is building some mansion on what I can only assume is an abandoned landfill in North Carolina. Of course, he had to sell his current house (the one that he constantly posted pics of on here bragging about his shag carpet and such). He had thought it was going to take a long time to sell, but it sold right away and then he had to move out ASAP. He is living in a trailer park in the outskirts of Charlotte and will be there for about a year. He came down with some intestinal disorder and he is using a colostomy bag right now, so he sympathizes with your family health issue and sends Ts and Ps.

Oh well, I'm just glad you didn't get stuck with a termite infested house.
 
Hang in there Jon. It will get better soon! You made a big sacrifice for the health of your wife. I respect that immensely. Sending positive vibes your way
 
Moving is the worst. Moving your stuff 500 miles to find termites then having to move it into storage knowing you are gonna have to move it again in a few weeks (months) is megasuck.

New church we found really came through. Had 15 guys today helping. Got everything from storage into the house between 9a-noon. Record time and it was an amazing gift.
 
OK4P, I tell myself this everyday: it can always be worse. I'll take a summer of couch sleeping over the bag.

Also, I will be out in NC two or three times the rest of the year. It's one of the primary areas I focus on. Tell Vin I'm up for a meeting of the two families for a hatchet burial. Just not a rundown Italian resteraunt and if he gets up to use the bathroom midway, I'm out of there.

The worst is having your stuff in storage. VintageHawkeye has been incredibly irritable of late because he has his food dehydrater in storage and he has been unable to make beef jerkey at home. He says the stuff from the store doesn't have enough salt.

What item that was in storage was the hardest for you to live without?

I'll pass it along, but dude is obsessed so I suspect it would be a one way hatchet burial. Heck, I don't even know that you have a hatchet to bury.

Yes. That is what she has. It was getting worse and worse. Even bugging her late in this cold spring. Since we came down here in early June, just one flare up. It's pretty freaky to see your spouses hands look like a cadaver on half and normal on the other half.

My step mother has had Raynauds for along time. I think she was in her early 40s when she started having symptoms. She's in her 60s now. She lives in Vermont and is pretty much stuck in the house all the time during the winter. It's not that common of a disease I don't think. I'd never heard of anyone else having it before when she got it. Her hands will turn the nastiest white color and she can't make a fist let alone do anything. It affects her over all body temp alot. Seems like she's never comfortable she's always either too hot or too cold. It sucks watching someone suffer with something like that. It sounds like you Jon are going to do everything you can to help her with her quality of life much like my Dad has. You have my best.
