I had the day off Monday and did some furniture shopping of my own yesterday. I found a chair and ottoman I’ve been looking for (to match my leather couch) for a year now!! Best part is I walk in the store and they gave me a $50 off coupon if the item costs $100 or more. Yep! I used that bad boy!!!

Everybody – “(((Get Well)))”!!

Glad to know that Madi is getting better and that you are NOT sick. Let’s keep it that way too! Poor Char, I hope this rash will go on and heal up. Hang in there, Tori!

Everybody– Thank you so much for all of your prayers and good wishes. Russ is reeeeeally not feeling well at all, too sick to go to the Dr., even. He is planning on going tomorrow, though. Char went back to school, but tomorrow is iffy, she barely made it through today. Madi is better, back at school, but not 100% yet. I am still not sick (*praises God and knocks wood simultaneously to cover all bases*). From what you guys are saying, there sure is a lot of this stuff going around… even across the pond!

And, I’m hoping all the rest of the “ailers” on here will get well real soon, too.

Are they trying to tell us something? LOL Leave us alone, Google!!!

Momma Lloyd, I can’t believe you missed out on Taff hugs. I know it is not a sniff and a hug, but it’s still a hug and after ALL they have been through they deserve the hugs (pssss it’s ciber space, you won’t catch anything, go ahead, you will feel so much better and so will they )

((((((Russ, Tori, Madi, Charlotte))))))))))))))
((((((Linda, gracelynn, Chubs family & anybody else out there not feeling well)))))))))))

I was not at the concert this weekend, wish I had been, I know it was great! I have never been to a RT concert where he does not put everything into his concert. I have seen him not feeling well, but most people never know it. He is #1 in our books! Praying that he will feel much better real soon along with Madi & Charlotte.

Hope everyone will have a wonderful day!

Stay healthy, Tori!

Sorry I didn’t tell you bye themema – I wasn’t trying to ignore you by any means. My cousin had called while I was in the singing and left me a message that I had a family member with this mess so I was trying to see if I could go and help them out in any manner. She was so upset that I had to get her calmed down. This flu is really attacking the people I love left and right. We think my dad may be coming down with it now. My mom just sent my brother to Wal-Mart to get some Nyquil and other meds for him.

I asked him why, as bad as he felt he sang Ain’t no Grave and he said “because they wanted to hear it.” Not many artists would have found that to be a reason enough to expend themselves like he did as sick as he was. Tori, give that puppy some chicken soup and be kind to him tonight.

Yep, as Gracelyn said, he was terrific… I doubt there were more than 1/2 dozen people who knew how sick he was all weekend…. even when he announced to all that it was going to be a short first half cause he needed to go to the “potty”. lol.

During the second half, he sang a couple of numbers with the men’s quartet. The bass who had been hosting Russ around was so sick, Russ said he was white backstage, but Jeff said he was NOT going to miss singing with Russ. He sang, and quickly also disappeared, not to be seen again last night.

Hope all the Taff family is on the mend pretty soon, and you don’t get it Tori…. at least not until everyone else is back on their feet and can take care of YOU.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((Linda))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I sure hope that they can figure out what is causing that rash on Char. And poor Madi…at least she has that wonderful comfortable chair now to rest and relax in while she is recooperating. I’m sure she thanks her mom! (Better be sure you get some Lysol and spray it down good once this passes! Kill those germs!)

They are talking about snow here and I am ready to scream NO!!!!! Tomorrow is a teacher workday and if I cannot go in, I have to take a day without pay. Unless my principal has mercy on me and says that we can make it up somehow (another Saturday Academy maybe – I’ll teach Algebra! LOL)

And like I told Russ, I’m still sick so I’ll take my chances:
((((((((((((((((((Russ)))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((Madi)))))))))))))))))))))))
((((((((((((((((((Char)))))))))))))))))))))))
and for the super wife and mom-
((((((((((((((((((Tori)))))))))))))))))))))))

I’m still sick. In my weakened condition, I am barely able to get out of bed in the morning. I can’t vacuum, or cook, or clean, or polish, or do dishes, or laundry, or nothin’! I feel really bad about that. And I guess my sense of honesty has been compromised too.
I’m so pathetic. But I’m lookin’ on the bright side of it——I don’t have to sing, and I don’t have a rash!

What the heck is that rash, anyway? A side effect of a virus? Poor Char! Get well, Char!!!!

Meanwhile at the Chubs house (see note below) My wife came up sick this morning. I had to scramble to get someone to watch the kids this morning. I have to think the virus has two parts, kind of like a two part episode on TV. One is the aches and flu like stuff, and two the actual puking towards the end.

Barbara, move to Illinois and you can have all the snow you want. I would glady trade it for warmer weather.

Note below – Chubs is not my actual name. Chubs is a nick name that I got before I lost some weight.

Feel better Taff’s!! Tori they will take care of you IF you get sick I am sure. BTW – Tell Russ, I will fill in for him next time. Who doesn’t want to hear a guy name CHUBS sing? OK dumb quesiton…

I know this means nothing to any of you, but I am so excited. We just may get one to three inches of snow here, starting at midnight. We have been advised to stay off the roads. I know this sounds weird to all of you northerners….but our little southern town doesn’t even have one plow because we go for years without seeing even a flake of snow.

Just so you will know how exciting it is for the Lloyd family, both Mark and Donna are home with the throwing up virus and they will go out in the snow carrying their buckets.

I’m praying for my little Taff family: for three to get well and one to stay well. I love y’all.

Glad you punched that lady out so Madi could have a nice new comfy chair to hang out in for the weekend. Bless her heart, hope she is feeling better real soon. (((((Madi)))))

Poor Russ, that has to be so tough being out there all weekend and not feeling good and only to come home feeling worse again. ((((Russ))))

(((((Tori))))) Keep that immune system up so you don’t get sick too. Hang in there and hopefully they will ALL get better real soon!
