Way to get the family reunion going! You guys are great.

Pam, sending all good vibes your way and hoping for your speedy recovery. Let me know how Ireland is, always wanted to go there, just the whole flying over that much water thing holding me back, and, I STILL haven't won the Powerball jackpot, which is directly related to the fact that I am still working for Handleman, figuring on riding this horse until it drops or I pick the right numbers. I'm still past the end of the Earth-South Dakota.

No kids still- there are ways to prevent that nowdays, but I do have a pregnant dog. She's a 9 years old yellow/red lab and we have reason to believe the father is a two year old yellow lab. Her name is Lady, and, yes, she's a tramp. Puppies are due in a couple of weeks. So get your orders in soon!

Okay folks....

I'm hearing via email that a lot of you are checking the blog here, but not posting a hello. C'mon!! We want some active posters, not just lurkers - so if you're having trouble posting your comments, just drop me an email and I'll walk you through how to get your words of wisdom front and center, okay?? Okay! :-)

Otherwise you're going to have to read stuff from me all the time, and that'll get boring I'm sure. Let us know what you've done this summer (or what you DIDN'T do for once), any plans for the Holidays (I'm planning a trip to Minneapolis in early December and a trip to England and Ireland in February - assuming my cancer cooperates!).

And pictures - we want pictures! Not just of Handleman times, but you - your family - your latest 'catch' (I'm talking animal or fish here...).

From Jennifer

Hey Everyone! This is Pam's daughter, Jennifer. Just thought I'd say hi, since I am "technically" an ex-employee, too! Glad to see everyone is keepingin touch! If you want more news on me, check out my blog - http://thearmywifelife.blogspot.com.

Til next time,

Jennifer

A few pictures

We are working on gathering more pictures for our 'photo gallery' (see the link on the right side of this page), so please feel free to send a few of those pictures I KNOW you have so I can add them to that page.

In the meantime, here are a few pictures I had on my computer that I thought you might enjoy. :)

Hey! This is cool. I, too, am new at this. I have some awesome photos I will have to locate.

I am currently a CNT with one TA. That will probably change.

My eldest daughter leaves for college Labor Day weekend. My youngest will be a junior in high school.

Vegas would be great!!Catch ya later!

Pam, let me know if I messed this up! :)

Hey All

Just because I'm hanging out with a clown does not make
it indicative of my personality.
Okay well maybe.....
Hello All, just a quick note to say Hi.
I think this is a great forum for all to just pop in and blog away.
Sharing updates that brings a smile to your face sounds fun.
I would love to see some more uncompromising photos posted .
So if you got em share em (not of me of course thank you pam).
I am doing extremely well by the way older and bolder but who isn't.
My oldest daughter is starting at Cal State Fullerton changing her major with every outfit she wears. My youngest I'm teaching to drive, yes got the permit and boy do we fight.
Pay it forward, If you know of anyone past or present that may be interested in keeping in touch from PT to FT send an invite.

Networking Networking Networking....
Kudos to Pam on putting together such a great looking page you little techie you.....

from Jerry Krogstad

Hi guys! Great to hear from you. Last weekend was my annual BARBQ and Darryl was here and we talked about if we had heard from you guys. Not much been going on with me, work, and just seeing my family when I can. I will be going to Alaska today for the week.

Take care, Jerry

Who ARE these people??

Okay Robert and Pam, I'm here - now what??

Hey - we're glad you stopped by the new blog!! You've got a couple of options as to how to post an entry here.

First - you can just make a comment to this post. At the bottom of these paragraphs is a link that says "comments". If you click on that, a window will open up with a box to type in whatever you'd like to say. When you're done, there will be a button that says "publish post" at the bottom left. Click on that and boom! You've posted to the blog! :) The downside is that you can't post pictures in a comment posting - and we want pictures!

So the second way to post on here is to send me an email (my address is at the top of the page - pamdaley@earthlink.net) and I will add you as an "approved poster". That means you would be able to log on to the site and post an entry just like this one - including photos like this - (this is my grandson and his daddy) -

We would love to see pictures of your kids, grandkids, and most especially YOU.

But if all this sounds like too much of a hassle and makes you think about just forgetting the whole thing, PLEASE just go ahead and email me whatever you'd like to say, and whatever pictures you'd like to share, and I'll be glad to post it all for you. (Hey, I'm sitting around doing nothing but waiting for my next chemo so what the heck.)

So who's going to be first? :-)

Welcome!

Robert and I thought we'd see if there is any interest in a blog for those of us who are former Handleman employees. Just a place to check in once in a while, let friends know how and what you're doing these days. So many of us worked together for several years (some a lot more than others!) and we are family. We've been through some fantastically fun times, and some dreadfully tough times - but we are still family.

If you are new to blogging, the easiest way for you to catch us up on your life is to post a comment to this entry. (See at the bottom of this post? There is a little link that says "x-number comments" - just click on that and you'll be able to type a comment. Don't forget to sign it so we know who you are!) If you are more familiar with blogging or would like to be able to post directly to this site, just drop me an email and I will add you to the site as an "approved author". (Admit it - that sounds like fun, right?)

Hope to hear from you soon!
