Hey, I received an email about a boy in North Carolina who likes postcards. Why don't we all try to help the lil brother out? You know I will be :) Leave a note here after you send him a card if you would so we can tell where else we need them from!

Subject: Post cards

There is a young boy at church, Morgan Spease, who has had a lot of
health issues (epilepsy), anyway, he is doing a project for school and
for the county fair of collecting post cards from all over and putting
them on a map. It would be great if everyone could send him a post card
from where they live and also from any travel destinations where you may
go. Even if you don't mail it from the destination I think it's ok,
it's the card he wants, not the post mark. Obviously the fair won't be
till this fall, so we have some time.
His address is:

Morgan Spease
1031 Chapel Creek Rd
Concord, NC 28025

Send out his address to anyone you know who might send him a card. He is
a very special young boy with special needs, so it would mean a lot.

Thanks!

Had a stack from my trip to Maine sitting on the desk, right next the keyboard - it was meant to be!

by auntjennywren at 07/22/09 5:27PM

by happinessisthelord at 07/22/09 7:07PM
Hope you are enjoying your time in Colombia (or enjoyed it) - Bogota is still my favorite city; there's always an adventure =)
Oh, and count a postcard from FL!

He is a sweet little boy from a great family. I've actually taught him in bible class before. Thanks to everyone that is helping out with this...I'm sure his family will be thrilled!

I could always use some extra cents :P

"These guys" are Bowling for Soup, a band that came from Wichita Falls, TX. They are so stinkin hilarious. You might have heard their song "1985" or "Come Back to TX" before. Or "The Girl All the Bad Guys Want." And if you haven't, go listen. They crack me up.

Joe, all is well in Oroville. I am sorry but I am not aware of any congregations in the Eureka area. The nearest would be in Redding, Willits, or Brookings, Or. all are 80-90 miles I think. While I hear it is beautiful, Eureka is not exactly a stronghold for Christians. Take care and come visit when you can.

by whosyourdaddy at 08/01/09 6:09PM
How thoughtful! What a neat thing to do!

by tortilla at 08/09/09 9:56PM
wow im a slowpoke. JUST now sent two cards. hope it's not too late!!

by happinessisthelord at 09/03/09 10:59AM
Since I see that you now are doing the group NT_Christians, could you also change the note there:
** If anyone feels something inappropriate comes up in the group, please email me at usgirls@beasleyfam.net **
since she's no longer here?
Thanks. Keep up the good work.

nah, my karate class is on Thursdays.

Open in up and check all the solder joints. That's probably the problem.

by 71lespaulcustom at 09/22/09 12:39PM
Thanks!

by dawnmk23 at 10/06/09 12:05PM
Oh... that is SO sad!

by 71lespaulcustom at 10/17/09 7:48AM
I totally thought of you and your many travels when I saw that video!

by amy_szabo at 10/23/09 7:28PM
Hey Joe, good to hear from you! Yes, we’re on Oahu. Our congregation is at 400 Maluniu Ave., Kailua HI 96734. We’re on the windward side.

It was good to see you. I hope that the rest of your trip was fun!

I'm home: actually not really where I want to be! Especially since I have to start getting ready for work in about 10 minutes, and I only got maybe 6 hours of sleep last night...

by marla at 05/26/09 6:08AM
Oh really? I met him once or twice. Does he attend El Cajon CoC? I don't know if you remember Jamie Perkins, but she has family that attends there. And the preacher is an FC alum, Tom Mulligan. R.J. Stevens preached there in the late 70s. Brent Hunter recently held a gospel meeting there.

by navydoc at 05/26/09 8:35PM
I'll def. look him up next time I'm there. Thanks!

by navydoc at 05/27/09 9:23AM
Okay Joey, now you're just being mean. I can't come down to Tennessee, you and Dillon come up here.

by sarasponda at 05/29/09 3:52PM
Hey man, I didn't see what you wrote until a few days ago, I don't even know how long ago you posted it. Sorry. Whatcha doing in Nashville?

by sarasponda at 05/30/09 10:14PM
Where do you live? I was thinking Carlsbad.

by navydoc at 05/31/09 11:16AM
Hey you, I put up a countdown to our trip to the west coast and now I can't get rid of it. Got any suggestions, it's driving me crazy!

by sarasponda at 06/02/09 2:21PM
I saw Aaron at church. Next time you're in town, let me know. We can all go hang out.

by navydoc at 06/02/09 10:31PM
umm.. no. But I love you! :)

by texaslady at 06/15/09 11:47AM
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, Emily and I were out of town on the 20th (and still are) visiting my Mom. Sorry we couldn't meet up with you!

by sarasponda at 06/23/09 3:31PM
Wow! I thought I was the only one not on pleo anymore....where have you been? :)

by dragonfly at 06/29/09 5:30PM
dude, that avatar image is scary!

by trx at 07/02/09 3:55PM
where are you living in TN now?

by texaslady at 07/03/09 3:22PM
If you attend Fosterville church of Christ, I'm sure you would feel at home ;)

by texaslady at 07/03/09 10:17PM
You're a computer guy right? Could you explain to me how I can upload a video on here?

by navydoc at 07/15/09 4:50PM
I'm going to try for Percy Warner tomorrow - longer hike but also gorgeous.

by marla at 07/17/09 6:03PM
It's another forest-y park off Old Hickory if you keep going west past Granny White - it's in the Belle Meade/Bellevue area.

by marla at 07/17/09 10:41PM
You still alive?!

by 71lespaulcustom at 07/20/09 3:19PM

Here's my problem. I'm a Computer Consultant and I travel around the US and some overseas working with our customers. There is the core work that I do, and then there are a ton of extras that have to be done in order to do the core work (make travel arrangements, travel to customer site, manage expense reimbursement, etc). I'm able to manage everything except for the expense reimbursement. Whereas it's not too challenging of a process... I hate counting beans. I would rather watch paint dry. After traveling and working all week when I would really like to find something more spiritually productive in my off hours.

So...I'm looking to hire a little help. I figure it's a cost of doing business that I'll have to pay out of pocket. I've never hired anyone before but I can't see it being all that much trouble. With my utter loathing of this task I tend to take too much time doing it because I need a "break" every 5 minutes. I really can't see it going more than 20hrs a month at a liberal estimate.

Does anybody have any ideas for something like this? I would really rather to work with someone I know and can trust. I don't require a lot of effort or accounting skills from anyone for this. I figure I'll need the person to log the numbers I give in Excel and then input them into a webpage we've got setup on a weekly basis. I'll have to handle all the receipt scanning and faxing but I've got a portable scanner and e-fax. I imagine it will be a little bit to create a process for this so any input is most welcome.

In any event, if you have any ideas for this freely let me know. If you think it might be something you are interested in and need some extra money each month then shoot me a private message with your thoughts and/or email and we can chat about it.

josephwcook@gmail.com

Thanks!

-Joe

** p.s. I was thinking of paying on a per house basis. If you have any thoughts as to what something like this might cost then please let me know. I want to be very fair. Since it's coming out of my own pocket I also need to make sure I'm up for the cost! :)

Aha, finally got so fed up with it, eh?

by marla at 12/10/08 6:53AM
My brother's wife is an accountant, I know they could use extra money and she would do an amazing job! Just let me know!

by whipsmile at 12/10/08 8:36AM

Guess who I saw on Saturday??? MICHELLE!!!! :)

by texaslady at 12/29/08 9:55AM
We have the same issues with my work. It's a hassle, but they try to make it as easy as possible by allowing many of our expenses to be charged directly to the company. Usually, it's only per diem, hotels, and mileage that piles up.

by jimmybuck at 01/01/09 4:17PM
finally decided to subcontract out your work... now your talkin' I'll put some feelers out there for you.

by vande at 01/03/09 1:41PM
Well, I can't blame you for wanting to get out of here! That was one COLD weekend!!! Christmas was pretty good. We actually waited till New Years Day to open presents. How was YOUR Christmas?

Anyone want to go to Toronto? Say like, this weekend? :D We have some emergency work needing to be done and my thanksgiving plans were a bit up in the air so I'm thinking of just turning it into a nice long vacation afterwards. :) I've never been to Canada so it's a good opportunity and I just happened to notice there are some ski resorts an hour away. I sense much fun coming this week.

After Canada, O-H-I-O! Maybe I'll see Drew Carey :)

woot! you have all the fun :P

by happinessisthelord at 11/19/08 3:08PM
I'll go, oh wait...I have plans! argh.

by whipsmile at 11/19/08 3:30PM
take some mittens and a scarf

by sarahsmile at 11/19/08 3:51PM
kittens?

by joe at 11/19/08 4:28PM
Just so you know, Ohio RULES!

by amy_szabo at 11/19/08 5:02PM
Enjoy Canada! It has been years since I've been there!

by cdillman23 at 11/21/08 1:20AM
Yes, I've been to Canada but I can't help but think that they stayed loyal to King George III while we threw off the shakles of British Rule. They should have joined us and formed an even GREATER United States.

by arsenal at 11/24/08 5:01AM
Dude, Thanksgiving plans should never be up in the air. It's turkey time foe sho.
