Happy Birthday, Todd!

That's right, yet another Warrior birthday. Ol' Todd turns the big 3-6 today. I'm not at home to scan any pictures, but did want to at least post a birthday wish to Todd. I know I've mentioned this before, but the one memory of Todd that stands out the most is one from back when we were in the 4th grade. Todd, Bobby, and I were sitting next to each other in Mrs. Vandiver's music room, waiting for try-outs for the Christmas play. Todd sneezed, and a small piece of ham came out of his nose!! I thought Bobby and I were going to die we were laughing so hard!! Glenn Krohn (as usual) saw it and immediately threw-up all over the place. I must, since that time, I've NEVER seen anyone sneeze anything out of his/her nose. Todd, you are a skilled man, to say the least.

Oh, and despite the fact that you STILL haven't posted your update on what you've been up to all these years, I decided that since you're such a nice guy, I'd go ahead and post this birthday wish.....hint, hint...!

Update to come...

I know bad news sucks but here's my Update....

For the past 6-7 weeks my pain has gotten better and better. I have been more and more tired as the treatments continue.

now to the news - I went to the Dr today for my Scan- I wasn't sure what to expect- I knew the pain was better, but you just never know. Well BAD NEWS again. The cancer continues to grow I now have 3 spots- the cancer in the area of my bladder is again the size of a baseball- the cancer in the rib area IS in the rib bone- and now I am showing a spot on my right hip bone. Dr Tauer who is my dr at the West clinic is calling my Dr at MD Anderson in Houston today to discuss what to do next- hopfully they come up with something that will work or at least slow the cancers growth. He did say that if they can not come up with something soon that I will most likely only have a few months left to live.

Those were the hardest words I have ever had to listen too....

Please continue to pray for I will continue to FIGHT..

I'll keep you guys posted as I find things out.

Classics for us GIRLS

Okay, there were those movies that we girls loved, also, that probably most of the guys by this point and time had tagged as CHICK FLICKS...I loved Molly Ringwald...I wonder how many girls wanted to be like MOLLY....

This first one; LOVED IT, STILL LOVE IT, OWN IT & WATCH IT WHENEVER I WANT :) Yes, I fell in love with Duckie the first time that I saw it just bce of this scene right here...


Now, this one, another MOLLY classic...Still makes me laugh so hard whenever I watch it...And Jake(not you Jake, but Jake in the movie)...OMG; how hot was he....And Long Duck Dong; "WHAT'S UH HAPPENIN HOT STUFF" :)...

You Know Somebody Had To Post This!!!

This movie scared the hell out of me!! Esp. the part where the guy is looking over the boat into the water and Jason jumps up and pulls him in by his hair....

Party @ Pickwick

I'm gonna post this one today for everyone to get a laugh out of over the wkd...Our Senior year, I had only been at Southaven for 3 years...I had made friends, but, still so missed all of ya'll at Corinth...My parents knew this, so, wanted to do something nice to bring me back together with all of my Corinth friends before we all graduated...So, my Uncle Charles had a place up at the lake that we had gone to for years, so, mom and dad said "Let's do something there for all of you kids"...Well, as it ended up, a lot of people were going out of town that wkd for different reasons and on top of that it RAINED that Friday and Saturday, so, we didn't get to get outside too much...But, for those of you that did make it up there, THANK YOU, and I will always remember it...Here are a few of the great pictures that were taken that day :)

Another fine movie!

Bobby, here is another one to add to your list of classics...

More Blast From The Past !!!!

Here are a few more that I thought of. See what you think about them..


What about this guy???





And this one was mentioned in the last one.





And this is one of my Son's favorites.



More to come......

Friendship Pins

It's funny that Kim mentioned the Friendship Pins because I meant to post this a few days ago! I remember lots of the girls making these things and putting them on their shoestrings:



If these don't remind of the 80's...like the 5th or 6th grade, then I don't know what does!!

The STYLISH 80's

!


I was thinking about all of our fashion statements that we made back in the 80's! Some of them were pretty cool, but, some of them were just outright UGLY! I remember that all of us girls at one point and time loved the Go-Go's, and wanted to be one wearing our off the shoulder tops and mini dresses and wrap belts...Madonna; YEAH, she was a fashion idol to us! The rubber bangle bracelets and the little lace gloves! The NEON colors; OH GOODNESS! Now, I think that I would have done that one over again if I could have...Leg warmers!!!! ha ha ha! I had such short legs anyways, I don't know why insisted on wrapping half of them up in a sweater! Jelly shoes, RELAX t-shirts, swatch watches, and girls, let's not forget the homemade ribbon barrettes from our childhood!!!! Izod, Panama Jack, Camp Beverly Hills, Guess, Gasoline, and for all of you boys, the skinny ties and Miami Vice look
definitely pop in my head! Add some more, bce I know that I'm forgetting so many things!

Ladies and Gentlemen....

....I'm pleased to announce that Mr. Mike Winterscheidt has joined the blog. Hopefully his slack ass will post an update soon....stay tuned...

More FUN PHOTOS

OH, I have even more, but, I'm spreading them out a little at a time...ENJOY and have a great day o:)

I got another one! Wendy just joined tonight, so please...everyone welcome her to the CHS blog! Hopefully Wendy will post an update soon so we all know what she's up to. Thanks for joining, Wendy!!!

More fads from our younger years!

Lottie and I were talking yesterday about things that were in style when I was a kid and things that we were into as youngsters...These two things popped into my mind and came up in our conversation...She thought that it was HILARIOUS that we bought HATS at the Jr. Food Market(or quick shop)as she calls them today!!! And also that we chewed on those toothpicks...Oh, what little MISSISSIPPI kids we were!(but, I wouldn't change a thing)

Can someone please validate this?

I heard through the grapevine that Michael Wright's wife's name is "Always". Can someone please verify this? Thanks!

Update on Blair

Thanks for inviting me Jake but I have to say you must have way too much time on your hands to be "blogging" this much! But seriously, you have accumulated quite a following and it will be fun to catch up on some many people.

Back to the subject at hand....I am Blair Hederman (formerly known as Blair Biggers) and unfortuantely had to leave you fun people after the 4th grade. Though as we all know, Selmer is not that far and I was able to keep up with many Corinthians. After graduation from McNairy Central I went to Ole Miss with many from CHS '89. There I met my husband Doug (MRA '89)--- who coincidentally was a fellow short term Choctaw with one Brett Butler (one year at Mississippi College was enough for both of them!!). I moved to Memphis in 1992 and went to Physical Therapy school at UT Memphis and graduated in 1994. Doug and I got married in December of '94 and moved to Little Rock, AR. I worked in Orthopaedics at St Vincent Med. Center and privately for a group of surgeons and he worked for an advertising agency doing public policy work. In February of 1999, we had our son Holt (now 8) and moved that May to Jackson, MS where Doug went to work for his family's printing company and I temporarily (yet the temporary is becoming more permanent) retired from the medical world. We also have a daughter Sara (age 5) and stay very busy with the two of them with school and extra curricular activities. Holt is in the 2nd grade at 1st Pres Day School and Sara is in preschool at Covenant (with Jake's nieces).

We make school our first priority; but outdoor activities and sports are our family's real love. Many full family outings of golf, hunting, rafting, biking, skiing, tennis etc keep us busy and in pretty good shape!! Doug coaches Holt's baseball team (which is his favorite sport) and Sara is playing T Ball for the first time and that is very entertaining--tennis is much more her thing! I am (insanely) training for a half marathon in Nashville, TN at the end of the month and will be happy to sleep late on Saturdays again SOON!!

We enjoy seeing "Corinth-folk" around Jackson, in Oxford, or when we go home and will enjoy catching up with some through the blog that aren't so close (Sarah Lyle!!) I have a friend here who is not from MS and she once said to me that "Mississippi is not a state it is a club" and that is such the truth. The world is so small and there is always a connection with Mississippians! Anyway, hope everyone is doing well and thanks again Jake!

Welcome to the blog, Blair!!

Well, I tracked down yet another former classmate of ours. I'm sure most of you will remember Blair Biggers. She grew up in Corinth and was in school with us through the 4th grade. Then she moved to Selmer, TN and finished school at McNairy Central. Anyway, I wanted to invite her to join us, as she was an integral part of our lives for many years, and I'd love to get her on here to post some good ol' stories and maybe even tell some embarrassing things about people like Brett and David at Ole Miss.....

Thanks for joining, Blair, and I hope to see an update from you soon!!!

Update on Jeannie

First, thanks Jake, for including me in the 89 Warrior blog!.....second, it "Jeannie Cafferata"...not Caffereta :-) lol
That's why I picked someone with an easier name to spell...Sauls isn't quite as difficult, although I am amazed at the different pronunciations.

Well, quick update...We have been living in Clinton, MS for several years and I have been a teacher/cheerleader coach for the past 3 (go figure). Last year, Johnny was offered a job in Tupelo, and we have now been in Tupelo for the past year. I was a little conflicted about moving here, but it is such a good feeling to be close to my parents ( and I have run in to several classmates). I am teaching 9th grade Accelerated Biology at Tupelo High School ( 9th graders are truly a breed of their own)

My son, Caleb will be 6 on the 26th of this month! He is the spitting image of his father and the personality of....well....his own.
My step son, Patrick, is 13. He goes to school in Byram (Jackson suburb) so we do a little traveling each month.

I was sitting down, trying to think of some memories to share, and the only thing I could picture was the time it iced over and we were all in a Jimmy (maybe Taylor Archer's) and he was pulling Jake and Brett and I think Trey, by a rope attached to the trailer hitch. They were all on their stomachs sliding down the road on the ice. I just get this image of Jake's face as he was about to go UNDER THE TRUCK. All of us put our feet out in an attempt to stop him, but we really just ended up kicking him in the face....sorry Jake!

Welcome to the blog, Jeannie!!

Just wanted everyone to know that I tracked Jeannie (Cafferata) Sauls down, and she's now a member of the blog!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed that she posts an update soon. In the meantime, everyone welcome her to the blog!!!

Teaser......more to follow

Hey everybody. OK, so Im a slacker, I know. However, Im gonna fix that. I am going to compose a little update for ya in the next couple of days. Might even try to dig up some interesting photos or something, who knows?? For now though, just a couple of things. Jake, you've done a heckuva job with this, and we all owe ya a big thanks. Im still in Corinth, so anytime any of you guys come to town, give me a shout. Im living in Farmington, but dont hold that against me. Quick contact info: cell-662-415-2440; rattlesnak316@hotmail.com ; and yes, the infamous myspace page, www.myspace.com/ibleedutorange . Im pretty easy to reach. Thats all I have for now, but I promise an full update soon. And Tony, special note to you...Im praying for you, and I wish you a speedy successful recovery!!!

GO BRANDON JACKSON!!!!

Okay kiddos....I wanted to do something different to show those of you who read on here but don't post that you can pretty much post whatever...It doesn't have to be just stuff that happened @ Corinth, but, you can talk about current events in your life right now, too(Jake, if I'm wrong, please correct me)I guess I just want to say, think outside of the box...If you have no pictures or great stories of the past, well then chime in and let everyone know what you are doing right now...Okay for my story: Brandon Jackson played ball @ Horn Lake High School and my brother had the honor of getting to coach him for two years....He's going out for the drafts this month, and we are all just saying a little prayer that he's gonna go all the way...Okay, I know some of you are thinking, "He's just another football player"...He's not, though...He's an amazing, humble, kind-hearted, young man that so deserves good things....He's worked so hard both academically and athletically, and if anyone is deserving, Brandon is...He graduated high school by the skin of his teeth only by the assistance of tutors and some special education classes, and after a couple of semesters @ Nebraska, ended up on the Dean's list....He's overcome so many obstacles; I will not tell all the stories bce it might bore some, but, please just say a little prayer for him that he is going to be playing in the NFL this coming season...He deserves it all!!!!

Another Kindergarten Picture

This was a much smaller class for some reason. What I remember most about this year was that we had this huge sandbox to play in, but it was not filled with sand it was filled with pea-gravel. I guess that was a lot easier to keep us clean. Anyway I remember sitting in the pea-gravel playing when all of a sudden Nikki Potts bites me on the arm! Even at that age I knew you weren't supposed to hit girls so instead I got Her down an shoved pea-gravel up her nose. That was much better that hitting her don't you think??? (How terrible is that?) When I see Nikki to this day we laugh about that. (Thank goodness) OK see how many you know....

Shogun Warriors!

Who remembers these?!



I remember Jonathan McFarlen had one of these. I vaguely remember the smaller ones, but I definitely remember the big ones. They were 24" tall, but back then we were so little, they seemed to be much taller...like they came up to our chest!!!

Racing Game

Bobby, do you you remember Chad Pott's having this game?
