Surgery

Going in to the Appleton Upper Extremity Clinic tomorrow for surgery to repair my triceps tear. Hopefully that goes well. Wish me luck. If luck isn't with me, I want you all to know that....none of you gets squat. Not a dime. It all goes to my kid and I'll haunt the lot of you if you fight over my old collection of Playboys.

Hey, Tim Jr. Great to hear about your job offer. I hope it works out as well as possible.

Peytons

So I just found out today I got that job that I was talking about start monday midnights got 1 dollar an hour more that first shift.

Boo-yaa

So far I have heard from Maggi and Mom. Giddy-up! Now I see Tim Jr. has been here. Excellent. Since I'm here I'm going to throw up my absolute favorite picture ever. That's Butch with Alanis on his chest. I have no idea what caused the weird glow on this copy of the pic, but I kinda liked it so I kept it. Second pic is a good one of Mom and Theresa again.

When I got this email I Signed up right away this is a perfect way to talk to everyone at once. Aden and Nolan are going through a growth spurt as of late and we had to donate allot of clothing. We are about to get a digital camera so I know everyones been wanting to see pictures so hopefully I ll be able to post some. Mary Is A night manager at a Subway and I just had a second interview for peyton's. Its a Kroger Food Warehouse So I ll be a glorified grocery shopper but the benefits and 50+ hrs at a very good wage make it alright. Mary became a manager after working 1 week and we think the managing experience is worth a lil less money now down the road. I am really hoping to get this because pouring MM's in a box is getting old and there is no benny's here. But Mary bro Mike works there so I m sure Ill get the nod. I need to say I hate the Patriots and I hope Brady gets the beat down from the G mens D Line but we all Know they will win. But I hate the montana comparison. My new Email tjpenegor@gmail.com I switched and I hardly get spam.

Early Help

So if you are here and can't figure out how to post to the blog go to the upper right and click "sign in." If you have a google account of any type you can log in with that username and password.

If you don't have a google account then you will have to create your own blogspot ID. Just click that same "sign in" link in the upper right and it will ask you to create a blog. Don't worry. You don't have to actually create and post your own page unless you want to, but it's the only way I can see to get a blogspot ID which is necessary if you want to post on the site.

Once you do sign in and go the the website: thefamilynoteook.blogspot.com then you should see a link in the upper right hand corner that says "New Post."

Remember to email me additional email addresses from the family or let me know if you can't log in at all. I may have an old email address from you and may need to update it.

First Post

Okay, the purpose of this is to try to reconnect with some family members I and I'm sure many of us have not connected with in the past. I'm getting tired of wondering things like, "I wonder what Ann Marie is doing these days." and "Have Frank and Lisa moved again since the last time I spoke to them?" So instead of calling around and finding phone numbers like perhaps a normal rational person might do, I decided to start a family blog so people who are lost could find the family and if someone wants to stay lost, well I guess they can do that easily enough, too.

I chose the blogspot.com because I've had my personal blog on there for some time and it seems very user friendly. If you have any questions on how to post, how to put up pictures, etc feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, I will find out.


Some general ideas to get you going:

1--Don't feel the need to overedit. If U R used 2 typing like ths then that is fine. Don't NOT contribute because you are a two fingered typist or are afraid your dyslexia is going to turn someone off. We are family and we would love to hear from you!

2--Don't think that every post has to be monumental, earth shattering, six pages long...nope. If all you have to say is "Hi all, I'm here and doing fine." then by all means go ahead and post that.

3--Please give me more email addresses. There is a younger generation to this family that I haven't even met living somewhere out on the west coast. Share the link for this site with them, send me more email addresses and I will get as many people involved as possible.

Ciao!
