Hello Stacey,
My name is Josh. I am genrally found around here cutting up getting
everyone’s feathers ruffled a bit from time to time *LOL*. I am most active on
the list when I am on break from the university. I am finishing up my first
semester as a senior. I am a psychology major and my wife is a paralegal major.
We have a now 9 year old son, he just turned 9 on December 5th. He just
recently was chosen to participate in his school’s Spelling Bee. He went 10 out
of the total 13 rounds. The final 2 participants went 3 rounds making it the 13
rounds. My wife’s name is Amanda and as I said earlier she is a paralegal
major, she is going into her final semester next semester. She will graduate
with her associates degree in May and I will graduate with my bachelor’s in May
as long as everything continues to go well. She has all her grades in for the
semester, but I am still waiting on 2 grades that will determine whether I
finish up next semester or the following semester. So, fingers are crossed
right now and prayers are being said. In one of my classes it appears that my
final percentage is a 99% of the total points achieved which is an A+. I told
the professor at the beginning of the semester that my goal was to get an A+ in
his class. In my Marriage and Family Roles and Relationships class it is
looking as though I have a 98% in her class. The professor said in my Criminal
Justice class before I submitted my final paper that I had a 103% average in
her class. Unfortunately though the paper alone can cause me to fail the class.
The last class is completely outside of my comfort zone so I have no clue what
to expect for a grade in this class. Again unfortunately, this is a required
class in order to graduate.
Some things that my family enjoys doing are going to the movies, going out
to dinner, spending time with family and friends, learning about new things,
etc.
Some things that I enjoy doing in my spare time are reading, spending time
with my wife and son, watching comedies, reading (true crime and suspense),
travelling which I have not gotten to do a lot of since becoming a student.
Since going blind at the age of 25, I have also developed a liking to
technology. I have both an Apple computer (iMac), and my laptop as wel as my
wife’s laptop are Windows. My wife and I both have Apple iPhones (5C’s) and we
have an Apple TV which my son loves to get on and watch Net Flix or You Tube
videos. I am 33 and my wife is 28. So, there is a little background on my life
outside of the Audio Pals.
Within Audio Pals I am the instigator, I mean investigator *LOL*. We cut
up on here from within the normal ranges of cutting up to perhaps at times the
absurd degrees of cutting up. However, we are all a friendly bunch of people
that just enjoy laughing and having a good time. Feel free to join in on the
cutting up and please do not take us serious. It becomes evident when we are
being serious versus just playing around. Some of us do audio letters, but I
think the main source of communication for all of us is the email side of
things. From time to time I will post an audio letter to the group mainly so
everyone I am cutting up with has a voice to put with the messages. If you are
interested in posting an audio letter, but have questions there are a few of us
who can jump in and answer the questions or at least try to. Talk to you later
and look forward to seeing more messages from you.

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the audio pals list. My name is Stacey from Phoenix, Arizona,
USA. Look forward to meeting all of you guys and making new friends :) I don't
follow much sports, but I am loyal to 1 team and 1 team only, the Broncos. No,
I do not like the cardinals. My stepfather is a die hard cardinals fan, but for
me it's Broncos all the way. Although I was disappointed with their performance
at the superbowl last year. Ah well. As for college teams, I like the
Sundevels, although I don't watch a lot of football be it college or NFL, I
just support my Broncos team. I used to be a Chargers fan a few years ago, but
switched to Broncos fan last year, and this is my second year supporting them.
Anyway just wanted to say hello and nice to meet you all.
Stacey

Very true. Right now UT is in the hot seat regarding rape allegations against
two of the football players. I just read today that one of the girl’s
boyfriends is on the football team as well. I read on that the boyfriend caught
her, and the girl is on the rowing team. So, there are more elements to the
story, but KPD announced last night that there investigation was complete and
being sent to the D.A.’s office to see if charges will be pursued. It is a
tragic situation either way because if they are guilty then they have not only
ruined their careers, but also ruined the victims lives. If they are not
guilty, then I would say there will not be a decision until after the bowl game
which will prevent them from playing in the game. Not too mention that if they
are found not guilty there will still be people holding it against them. So,
either way it is a major black mark on these players.

But a QB who knows how to tuck and run is often not noticed until he’s gotten
10 yards down the field if he can pull off the fake. If they then concentrate
to much attention looking for him to run then he then is able to either use a
running back or tail back or pass. Thats why option offense is harder to
defend. You have to have a QB that can take some punishment though, no frail
guys as QB, or guys who can’t work outside of a pocket of protection. For
those it’s a disaster for them to try to run the ball themselves. Does though
is in pretty good shape physically. He’s taken sacks pretty well already this
year too. There have been a few reckless plays, but learning from them will
cure those. But that whole offense well really the whole team is having to
learn because there’s so many freshman on that team this year. They are
already coming together as a unit pretty good, could be quite interesting even
in a couple of years, let alone 3 years from now.

I would say the QB also then becomes a target for the rest of the teams to take
out. So, he needs to be careful or he will be a true red shirt.

He did play in the Bamma game, but he wasn’t the starter I don’t think. I
think they would have at least taken Florida though, and maybe Georgia, and
that would have changed things a lot for U T. Dobs fits in to the type of
offense that Butch Jones likes to run which of course is an option heavy
offense. No problem with that, because your QB becomes a direct offensive
weapon at that point. It is either going to work or not. There isn’t a middle
ground, usually it works though.

It does sound like interesting things are happening. I have a feeling that if
Josh Dobbs was in at the first of the year the florida game and the Georgia
game would have looked much different. I cannot remember if Dobbs played during
the Alabama game or not, but I know all their games were close calls this past
season.

Even more surprising is that Illinois managed to get in also. Won just enough
games in Big 10 this year. It’s been a long time.
Interesting baseball trades going on today too. Sox are definitely getting
aggressive about trading. Picked up a closer something that they didn’t have
last year because the guy they wanted to be closer was hurt early. Then they
turn around and pick up Semarja to beef up their starting rotation. Cubs have
already been dealing, they don’t have many secrets as to who they are wanting,
although the Lester deal hasn’t happened yet. But if they pick him up that
will anchor their starting rotation quite a bit too.
As for TN, I still say thats a team to be watching out for. The SEC east isn’t
a super strong devision, it can be taken and not have to get around a team like
Alabama.Depends on recruiting but they’ve already improved over last year’s
team despite injuries etc. They don’t give up, unlike the Chicago Bears who
seeo just curl up in a ball.
Illini basketball is looking pretty interesting this year too and they’ve
already landed a major recruit to start next year. Lots of things on the
sports plate, something that is needed since Da Bears are so bad this year.

Yep, keep an eye on those Vols, they are going to be heard in the next year tr
two seriously the way things are going. They’ve had a lot of injuries, but
still manage to keep on going to some degree.
Yes the style of offense they play actually fits Dobs better than the guy they
had start the year, Dobs himself becomes a weapon because he can take more
punishment running the ball himself. Even in the Bama game they did’t give up
even though Bama got a two score lead within the first couple of minutes of the
game.
Yes this whole internet thing is a great invention, have listened to more
Tennessee games this year than Illinois games, although I did hear the Illini
Gofers game and like everybody else was surprised they actually pulled that one
off. I bet the Gofers were surprised the most coming in with only 1 Big 10
loss at the time. Think they looked over the Illini and got burned on that
one. Well it serves them right they derailed the Illini a number of times in
the past.

I can’t comment on NFL, but I am proud of what I have seen out of the Vols this
year. It hasn’t been a stellar season, but the games we have played haven’t
been blow outs either. In fact I heard yesterday I guess it was one more win
for the Vols and we will be going to a bowl game. I wish they had of put Josh
Dobbs in earlier in the season rather than redshirting him as it may have
caused more upsets especially with Muschimp and those Gators. Sorry for the
hi-jack, but I am known for hijacking post. Right? *LOL*

The Bears have done a lot of that loosing this year especially to teams that
logically would be worse than them. Up until yesterday even playing at home
wasn’t helping them out. But the NFL this year is completely goofy anyway.

Hi everyone. Nothing exciting on this end, just working and trying to do some

My oldest turned 29 on Friday and apparently ate the entire jello cake
yesterday (with the exception of 3 pieces I made him share with his
friends/brother). The Seattle Seahawks lost, so I left right after that to
avoid the inevitable "crabby" that would be expressed about the loss.
Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Heather probably has the bus running again and she and George and Pete and who

again trying to get Liz’s attention. But I’m not sure they are going to get
Liz’s attention *lol*.
Got an e-mail from Suzi off list so know she’s alive too. BethAnn might be
doing another batch of sessions of closet rap for her next album release or
something, or she’s waiting to sell you a house Josh. It might be “the perfect
place.” Or maybe not depends on who’s standard of perfection is being used
perhaps.
Don’t know about Don. Danny though is alive and well, eating lots and lots of
cream corn, well probably every meal he eats is cream corn, because he doesn’t
like it so he has been placed into the cream corn factor.
Patti continues to improve bit by bit, gets a little more talkative over time
at times. She has a couple of appointments coming in December, one is
physical, the other is the Neurologist. But I’m thinking generally things will
be going in the right direction for her as afar as they are concerned.

Hello,
How is everyone doing? I have not seen any post from the list in a few weeks
now. I am wondering if I have not gotten myself booted somehow unintentionally.
I guess the last I seen any post was Tom and I interacting about the family
issues. The issues are not a hundred percent, but I do feel that since Amanda
stood up and stood her ground we have gotten more respect. Now, it seems as
though we are actualy people and not servants. However, that could change at
any moment. Well, we have our prequalification letter and have found a few
houses that we are interested in. We have to call tomorrow and get a real
estate agent. Getting the prequal was a bit ofa hassle though. Today Amanda and
I went and bought little man some birthday presents and got his location
reserved. Sometime this week we have to get the invitations filled-out. Amanda
and I are in the home stretch of the semester and everything seems to be going
alright. I am in one class where I will not know if I passed or failed until
the final grade comes out since 50% of the points aren’t going to be figured
until the end of the semester. Amanda as far as I know is doing fine in her
classes, she has some projects that she is working on, but I belive they are
going fine. So, as always we have a ton of things going on, but little time
*LOL*. Have a good one and I hope to be able to read some list traffic here in
a few days. Take care and chat later.
