  Help My Son

  I'm sure you all know my son, Matt. He had many IDs, most known as Dirk4MVP. And surely you all know the success he had with that account before he was banned. And now, him and most of his friends are getting banned by those Tv.com mods, so it is making it harder to contact with his online friends now. But just recently, he created a new website for the Fighting Weasels. It is more of a forum board than a website, but the sky is the limit considering the forum has a quote button, you can create polls in topics, move topics, subforums, and more. Excluding him, there are only five other members. He said not even Fighting Weasels had to join, since there are plenty of off-topic forums, etc. to post in. But please, help my son. Please make it easier for him to contact with some of his old friends from his Dirk4MVP account again. Make the seemingly impossible, possible. Thanks for reading.

  Hey guys - new blog. Don't faint, lol.

  Well, it seems like it's been eons since I've written a blog - March to be exact. My son has been threatening to log on as me and write one for me if I didn't get the lead out, lol. So here it is. I bet he will be shocked when he logs on and finds a blog by Mom.

  Where to start? First off, it seems like these months just go by like a blur. *A warning to you teens out there - the older you get, the faster time goes by, so enjoy yourselves and don't be in a hurry to grow up. * Just call me Dear Abby, lol.

  Well, I guess most of you guys are finally out of school. Matt and his sis have been out since May 22nd - already three weeks.

  We've been pretty busy with his sis' softball games, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Her team ended the regular season with an 8-2 record, though we are replaying one of the teams tonight because they were being whiny babies -- actually, during the last game, after they batted first in the first inning, one of their coaches came up and said he noticed that the distance from the pitcher to the batter was off and that if we won, they wre going to protest our win. We offered to let them bat again, but the umpire said no, couldn't do that. We even offered to let our kids bat a round, with the measurement off. No, couldn't do that either. (And actually, our kids only made one point that inning) So we'll replay them tonight. I still think we'll win because our girls are good.

  After tonight, we will go to the playoffs on July 7th, and will be guaranteed to play two games. (Wish us luck!)

  As I mentioned before, the kids have been out 3 weeks so far, but they've already been talking about being bored. Matt says he misses his friends - but not school. Guess I can relate.

  But we finally got a chance to take a little vacation last week. You may already know if you've been following Matt's blogs. We went to a waterpark resort. It's been open just since this past January. It was really nice - and fun!! We stayed in a room that had a separate "kid cabin" area for the kids with a set of bunk beds, one other bed and their own tv. I told them that was no fair, that us parents wanted to trade places with them. I don't remember there being so many "neat" things when I was a kid, though in fairness to my parents, we did have our share of vacations and fun.

  I'm sure Matt has already told you that I got scared on one of the water rides. He, his dad and sis rode a lot of the water slides. I wouldn't ride them, but when his Dad and little sister went back to the room, I decided I would try one of them just once (just to say I rode it, ha). It was one of those that you ride down on a tube. Now mind you, I rode many water rides as a teen, but add 25+ years since then, and I swear, they just ain't the same as they used to be. As I climbed the stairs to the top, my heart started racing wildly. I told myself to calm down, it's just a silly water ride, for goodness sake! I boarded my tube and held on, waiting for the guy to give me the green light to go, and I was off!! I admit it!! I was scared sh*tless, pardon my french, lol. I cussed to myself all the way down and even spun halfway around. I was afraid I was going to come out backwards, but I got myself turned around before I got there. I was so glad to be off that ride and stuck to the swimming pools after that. You guys just wait - in 25 or 30 years, those rides may not seem as fun! But they didn't seem to affect my husband the same way. He had a blast on them. Oh well.

  And then of course, there was the arcade and the gr8 tech room (with laptops and x-box games, etc.) That was fun too. Overall, it was a great vacation. It wasn't a long trip which made it more relaxing and everything was there at the lodge. Didn't have to do all that driving to get from point A to point B.

  Maybe we'll take another one or two mini-trips this summer. Not for sure yet. Hope all you guys are having a great summer so far. Talk to you later!

  G'day mates!!
