Enjoy the process! From: Old Yeo 2/19/2010 4:30 P.M.

From: Rita and Mij 2/24/2010 10:28 A.M. HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEODORE PILGER, BETTER KNOWN AS TED PILGER-- HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY--WE LOVE YOU-- From: Mij 3/2/2010 4:14 P.M. Hello fellow strangers in a strange land! I've been away from here for awhile and now it's time to be graced with my....whatever it is i'm gracing you with! We just got "high-speed internet" earlier today and i'm completely amazed and almost overwhelmed! For instance, before it took about ten minutes just to log on to this wonderful site..serious! It's one of the reasons i've been giving everyone a break from my rapier-type wit and all around awesome vocabulistic rantings!..that, and ever since MB has exited the building i've been in a post-presidential writing coma due to the major drop-off of comedic fodder which his absence has left the world in...no offense against Obama, he's just to intelligent and well spoken for sarcastically sadistic minds such as myself....oh well, i'll have plenty of awesome fodder when Sarah Palin becomes president! So, that earthquake was something huh? i was just looking at a few of the facts relating to the power of it, and it's amazing to say the least! One of the things i read was that this quake was 500 times stronger than the Haitian quake! And, it was so powerful it actually moved the earth off it's axis a few hundreths of a degree and has shortened the days by a second or two! Also, it turns out that there were localized tsunami's of immense proportions, up to 50 ft high! Small towns were literally almost washed away from the mammoth waves... Now the "experts" are saying that the next one of this magnitude would more than likely occur off the Oregon coast in the "Cascadia subduction", a large fault that is long overdue to have a major slip. Of course, it could be tomorrow, or it could be in 500 yrs!... Well, i'm off to eat dinner, i hope everyone is doing well and i'll try to check back more often for your reading un-enjoyment!.. Until then, Adieu. Peace. From: Ted 3/3/2010 10:10 A.M. Hey...fantastic, mij. You and Rita finally got high speed! Happy surfing! From: Mij 3/4/2010 4:02 P.M. Oh my god, two messages in less than a week!....has the world gone completely mad?!!... Well, yes it has actually, but my two messages are not exactly the most glaring example as to tangible proof of a world gone sananab!...oops, i mean bananas!.. There's nothing really new or having just happened to make me point out the state of the world, i was just browsing around on our new "high speed" connection and thought i'd point out the obvious on my way through!... Your welcome. So, this is weird having shit download faster than MB can butcher the English language! Well, it's not quite that fast! But wow, it's definately faster than that oh so annoying and headache inducing dial-up we've been putting up with for what seems like the past 20 yrs! What's weird, is when we first got dial-up we thought it was the best thing since the flush toilet was invented back in the late 70's! Speaking of turds! I saw Sarah Plain on the news this morning!... That's it, saw her on the news and she made me think of a turd. Moving not along....it's been a rather strange winter in these parts...much warmer than normal and much dryer than normal. ( i know, me talking about anything normal is like....not normal! ) Anyway, it's looking like it could be a long, hot dry summer...but on the other side of the coin it looks like you've been getting a good winter down around your neck of the woods Ted...which is good because your in the same boat we are, probably even worse. The weather "pundits" are saying you guys are actually above normal this winter which should help immensly with your drought situation..although they also said it will take a few of these kinds of winters to make up the deficit..but take what you can while you can get it.... So much for the useless weather facts portion of our program. Well, i see i've taken up enough valuable space! I'll say adieu for now and hope everyone has a nice weekend.. Until next time.. Mij. Peace. Ps. Did you notice i still managed to get in a stab against MB?.....i still got it! Later. From: Rita 3/5/2010 3:49 P.M. Hi Everyone--Yes Ted, high speed sure is great--I click on something, lay back to wait for posting, but its been posted for two minutes-- I don't have a camera anymore--I was using Sue's, but she took it back and won't let me reborrow it--I sure miss my digital-- So if you say its okay, I will send my puppy pictures to you Ted-- They are developed--so maybe you will post a few on the chatline-- I repeat, she is such a sweetheart-- Peace, love From: Ted webmaster@sunnyridge.net 3/14/2010 6:01 P.M. Hi Everyone Well, Ellen Sue and I have to leave Santa Barbara. Just can't afford it. Looks like we will be neighbors with our son, Jamal, in Colorado. Our budget is extremely tight. JUST LETTING EVERYONE KNOW THAT I MAY HAVE TO CANCEL SUNNYRIDGE.NET AND PUT AS MUCH STUFF AS I CAN ON FACEBOOK. What a long strange trip it's been... From: stan 3/15/2010 9:29 A.M. Big changes... so do you still have winter coats? How about golashes? I was forced out of the states in 2001 because I was too weird to get a job, but couldn't possibly afford to live there now as a low-pension geezer anyway. No Sunnyridge.net? How will I show my Cambo friends the big-bearded picture of me with my special herbs? They can hardly believe it. Life goes on and often external pressure for change takes us to good places we'd never go if not forced by circumstances. Anyway good luck Bro. From: Mij 3/15/2010 6:56 A.M. Wow....it's like losing a family member Ted. I know i haven't been as prolific as i use to be writing my weird and annoying messages on here..it's strange, you always think you'll have time tomorrow, you know? Well i just want to say that this site was, and is, an awesome outlet for what is probably seen as a rather strange and warped mind by many, and i was just looking through some of the archives and was amazed at all the many hours of enjoyment i had writing what was hopefully at the very least entertaining, but sometimes a bit verbose, rantings and diatribes. i'll miss this site very much Ted, and i wish you and Sue Ellen nothing but the very best in all your endevours... Is there a way to save all the messages, pics, and other cool things that have been such a big part of our lives these past...wow, 12 years! You have mentioned Facebook, of which i am not a participant, but what about maybe putting everything on a CD or Disc? i'm saddened to think i'll never be able to go back and look at all the zany, fun, serious, sometimes sad, but always entertaing pages of what has been an almost encyclepedic memoir of all of our past lives and how we were and what we've become. I consider this to be a true retrospective of what we were, what we became, and what we are now.....i'm just going to miss this awesome site Ted...sigh.... Stan's right of course, change can be as beneficial as it is painful sometimes. I'm saddened at the fact that this is an end to an era really... we've been able to use this unique site as a sort of tangible proof of who we were, and the amazing lifestyle that was chosen by an entire generation of young people who opted for something totally different from what at the time was considered the norm for social protocal. Many factors attributed to this mass migration of change, music of course being one of the most powerful sources, but also it stemmed i think from the fact that life is a circle of events and we change and adapt to the current phase of this wonderous cycle of life. Which brings us once again full circle to another page, another story, another chapter... My mom of course will also miss this site dearly...it's been a great source of keeping up on each other's lives and she's already talking about getting on "facebook"...have to see how it goes, she'd probably have a great time on there. i myself will just remember all the great avenues of discussion we had on here! Just a guess, but i'm thinking MB won't be missing it all that much! ( Hey! i got one last MB dig in! ) of course, you have to be able to actually read first, which leaves him out!...it was pretty amazing really when you look back at that time period and all the input and discussion which was expressed by all the many fellow ex-hippie compatriots...and although there were major differences sometimes in how each of us looked at things, it was always done with tact and a pension for courtesy... ( Ok! not always, but most of the time! ) Overall, you constructed one hell of a cool site Ted, and i'll miss it very much....a heartfelt thanks to you. I hope you and Sue Ellen find that next phase, and we all wish you both nothing but the very best in everything you do.... Thanks again, Mij Peace. From: Ted webmaster@sunnyridge.net 3/16/2010 7:05 A.M. financial statement and pay with PayPal
From: Mij 3/16/2010 4:14 P.M. Ted, we'll gladly pay the $44.85, it should be taken care of later this evening, and thanks for still keeping keeping on.....( sounds like lyrics to a song! ) Spring has sprung around here! After a relatively mild uneventful winter with below average rainfall alot of things like the Forsythia etc are saying Yeah!...Thursday and Friday highs around here in the 70's! But it was just on Friday that we were getting pounded with snow! ( got a few inches here and almost a foot over Oregon Mountain ) that crazy spring weather!.. The El Nino, which is responsible for our below average rainfall and California's above average rainfall, is suppose to last awhile still, which means we could have a warm dry spring here...it's also the reason why the Eastern half of the country has been getting a winter for the record books! Some places have had 8 times their normal snowfall and of course now torrential rains are causing bad flooding. Now, is this just a part of a timeless cycle that has nothing to do with man's presence upon this earth, or is it just a sign of things to come as our climate and world go through a long predicted catacalysmic cycle of violent unpredictable weather and massive earthen upheaval? Or, the even bigger question, does anyone care! Anyway, i personally have long been a weather geek and have read and studied weather patterns, etc., and it's really hard not to be convinced that things are changing very rapidly and it all coincides with the industrialization of our planet.... or not. i wonder whether it's the weather, or whether the weather would be weather whether or not we weatherman would wonder why weather is changing.... Huh? Later! Peace. From: Ted 3/17/2010 7:51 A.M. Hey, thanks Rita and mij Looks like Sunnyridge.net is YOURS this quarter!! You are good friends From: Mij 3/18/2010 7:22 A.M. Thanks Ted! Your welcome, we're glad to be able to help out... We were going to send you three big bags of cans and bottles!.... ....couldn't figure out how to get them across the cyber connection though.... Then we were going to send Foodstamps! But once again, not sure exactly how that would work....( and did you know that those stamps are not actually made out of food!?....) Then we were going to send you the old Volkswagon that's been parked out back for 20 yrs....once again, when i tried to put it in the computer it just created a big oily mess and now we have parts scattered all over! ( a whole new meaning to "hard-drive"! ) Then we were going to....................... Off to work! Have a great day! Peace. Ps. Then we were going to!.... From: stan 3/20/2010 9:33 A.M. Mij, I'm a weather freak also. I bought a $200 weather station to bring back to Cambo with me... but our weather never changes much. We did, though, have an exceptional event a few weeks back. Got 5 inches of rain in two hours, in the middle of dry season! We don't often get that much rain at one time in rainy season. Thanks for keeping the site alive. From: Mij 3/20/2010 8:18 A.M. Hey Stan, that is ALOT of rain in a couple of hours! That's how much moisture comes out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth during one of his rants! ( they're asking him to stay away from the Red River so as to minimize the flooding...."We can't even handle what mother nature is doing, not to mention if Rush adds his spewage to the mix it could be catastrophic"! ) That was a quote from the Govenor of North Dakota concerning his worries on the Red River's flood potential...... or not. Last winter i got a weather station for Christmas..measures everything from rainfall to wind speed to humidity and barometric pressure...and you read all the data from inside the house.....pretty cool. Our winter was pretty uneventful though...way below average rainfall and very little exciting weather......about as exciting as watching MB mate...( ugh! ) I'm off to take a drive and check out some local scenery, hope everyone has a great weekend..... Until next annoyance, Peace. From: Mij 4/2/2010 3:06 P.M. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!! Hello! Sitting here with my afternoon coffee watching a rather wet Friday unfold....we've been having a good run of storms the past couple of weeks, with a wide variety of weather wackiness...wind, rain, hail, graupel,...( that's that little fluffy stuff thats not quite hail and looks like tiny round pieces of styrofoam )...we've also had some intense snowfalls that dropped a couple inches in about twenty minutes.. Highway 199 has been closed numerous times the past few weeks, in fact my brother and our good frind Norm went down Monday and were witness to big rocks rolling across the highway and many area where gravelly mud had, and was, cascading from the sides of that impressive canyon. His truck got hit three times, two of them leaving very noticable dents. i went down the next day and it wasn't quite that exciting! But there was huge waves and i went where noone else in sane mind and body would go to watch them! Something about huge crashing waves that's memerizing to me... So much for your Southern Oregon Weather and stupidity update! Other than the weather you could give a shit about, eveything's pretty much just easing along on an even par, so i'll do you all the tremendous favor of making this a short message... Gees, you didn't have to clap! Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Easter and Holiday weekend! And PLEASE! don't all write at once!.. i kill me! Adieu.. Peace. From: Ted 4/3/2010 5:50 P.M. Greetings from Utah...we're on our way to our new home in Colorado. We were lucky to have light traffic and nice weather all the way. Passed Las Vegas, minature "grand canyons", expensive communities, lots of desert and snow covered mountains. Fun so far. Two more days of travel.... thanks for keeping sunnyridge alive, mij! From: Mij 4/4/2010 10:23 A.M. Good luck and happy Traveling you guys! Glad your having a good time and hope all goes well! And an "official" Happy Easter! Mij Peace. From: barbara w. 4/10/2010 12:10 P.M. guess larry and I missed allthose forewarnings of the great Pilger trek.. we were thrashing about inthe waves of the pacific at Maui's exquisite beaches...see barbara's facebook page.....hope the sun is shining in colorado ted...we can help too. where can i send a donation now? let's keep sunnyridge.net alive...ps. we are all on tight budgets, but what's money in the scheme of priorities anyway? love barbara From: Mij 4/18/2010 7:56 A.M. Hello all! I'm sitting here on this beautiful Sunday morning with a cup of beautiful coffee, and thought i'd drop a line and see just how uninteresting i could be! Hope everyone is doing well.....except for the usual aches and pains and massive brain-cell loss i'm fine! I'll be turning 50 in about a month and so i suppose having most of ones hair, teeth, and body parts is a major accomplishment! The one subtle but glaring difference i notice as the years go by is how it takes a little longer to heal each time i do something stupid...like checking the amount of gas in my tank with a lighter....( still haven't grown my hair back from that one! )....No! i didn't really check the gas with a lighter! Not even i would do something ridiculous!.........i used a match of course! i was serious once.... But seriously!......everyone is starting to catch the perverbial spring fever, even though the weather has not been very condusive for such projects. We've had more actual winter-like weather the past couple months than we did all.....winter! Just a few days ago we watched pretty much every form of precipitation Mother Nature has to offer, from pouring rain and snow to even a few blasts of thunder....me and my friend went golfing and we might as well have been golfing in the damn bayous! i lost three balls on the fairways! But it was fun sliding and doing brodies in the golf cart! I went out to the local dives last night with friends and we had a lot of fun just observing and commenting on what seems like the same people who were there the last time i went! Not that i hold myself above anyone...for one thing my arms would get tired! But it just seems like there's a whole segment of our local society that have done everything in their power to get rid of what they must consider annoying teeth! i swear if they all went to a restaurant together they couldn't chew there way through a bowl of oatmeal! Of course, who needs teeth to drink! Our newest edition to our humble abode is sitting on the couch looking at me with her big brown eyes and so i do not stand a chance of not going over to pet her..she's a chocolate Lab and already runs the household! I'm going to have to take her out for awhile which is a blessing for everyone due to the fact it means i'll have to sign off for now! I hope everyone has a nice Sunday and Earth Day week.... Until next time, Mij Peace. If any of you have the means, that is, a high-speed connection of some sort, check out the guy Jimmy Kimmel had on his show last week called "The Regurgatator"!.....Yes, it's exactly what you'd think, except he just so happens to "Regurgatate" weird things like quarters and pool balls! I swear, we were all in tears watching this guy! You'll either think it's disgustingly weird and funny, or just disgusting! But it's actually completely amazing and mesmerizing that he can do what he does....check it out if you get a chance.... That's your "i wonder if there's something really gross and funny i can watch" portion of the program! Adieu.... From: Ted 4/20/2010 8:24 A.M. Thank you Larry & Barbara for paying next quarter's hosting!!! And thanks for the accompanying card, which I quote here: WHAT IS THAT EXQUISITE LIGHT THAT CALLS TO US THROUGH THE SULTRY DARKNESS OVER THE GLISTENING DAWN AND INTO THE WINDOWS OF THE DAY ---------------------LOVE AND HOW WILL WE KEEP OUR HEARTS SWEETLY ALERT TO ITS ARRIVAL SUCH THAT WE ARE TOUCHED BY, REMINDED OF, AND REUNITED WITH ITS SOURCE? --------------------------------------------GRATITUDE From: Ted webmaster@sunnyridge.net 4/26/2010 7:44 P.M. FINANCIAL REPORT & PAYPAL Hey Don Yeo...and anyone else who would like to contribute to sunnyridge.net. Mij and Rita have covered this quarter. Larry & Barbara the next. THANKS, EVERYONE, FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! In October a new quarter begins and needs to be covered. The host for this website has changed and so has the price.

From: Mij 4/27/2010 3:33 P.M. Hello fellow websters and meisters and....whoever! That's great Larry and Barbara, another quarter covered! I'm sitting here with an afternoon cup of coffee, watching the amazing spring weather continue to unfold. We are currently getting a good dowsing of liquid sunshine, so much so it brought the rivers to a muddy stage. i drove towards the snow park this morning and turned around about mile 7 due to what i thought was enough snow....former days of being a young and brainless dumbass i'd have kept going so i could have gotten stuck, had to walk, gotten soaked and frozen to the bone, etc... GOOD TIMES! Our valley is getting ready for another season of providing medicine to the sick and impaired!...both of which i am of course! I see as i drive around many more "tall wooden fences" than there was a month ago...it's amazing just how many new fences have appeared the past few years, even people from out of town comment on what seems to be a rather strong collective community affinity towards fences!....... it's getting a bit offencive...........get it? offencive?... WHAT! DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU! SOoooooooooooo......how bout this crazy Earth lately! Earthquakes, Floods, Volcanos, Tornados....and not to be left out, man makes sure to add his two cents with a massive, ongoing oil spill that's sure to make it's way into critical wetlands and bayous and coastal eco-systems the size of.....well, lets just say it's bigger than a football field! i was looking at a satellite earlier where you can clearly see the snaky trail of viscuous black snot extending hundreds of miles.... GOOD TIMES! Have i ever mentioned i can sometimes, on occasion, every now and then, once in awhile, every so often, periodically, be just a bit sarcastic? i was in town the other day, annoying the local folk, and i ran into ( not literally ) an old friend whom i knew from my weekly show i had on Takilma FM radio. He reminded me that there's a "Takilma FM Radio" on the internet and wanted me to do a show again.....i've thought about it but it's just not the same as being in the station live...anyway, if your bored and haven't checked it out, google Takilma FM Radio and you'll find it easily...in fact, i pretty sure Ted at some point in the past has already posted the link, and if i didn't smoke so much damn pot i'd remember that! i do miss doing a radio show though....... What was i talking about? Well folks, i'll say adieu for now and once again thank L and B for there generous donation.... Until next time, Mij Peace. Ps. Did you hear that Tiger Woods changed his first name?.....he changed it to Cheetah.... Adieu.. From: ted 5/20/2010 8:53 A.M. test From: ted ted@pilger.com 5/20/2010 8:56 A.M.
From: webmeister 5/20/2010 10:01 A.M. just a test From: Yogi 5/20/2010 12:43 P.M.
From: b weinstein 5/20/2010 2:07 P.M. hi ted..this is another test. love you all From: Mij 5/22/2010 7:51 A.M. This is a test. .... -What's 7000 x 3000? This is only a test. Hey! Hope eveyone is doing well, i thought i'd drop a line and say hi. We're still here, still kicking, still annoying! The test thing is due to the fact i tried to post a couple of times and wasn't able to. i just figured you finally wised up Ted and put a block on my diatribes! We've had rain, wind, thunder, hail, and even snow the past couple of days...more like late February than almost my B'day! i'm only on for a few minutes ( YAHOO! ) so luckily for you this will be short! The family is doing well, except for the normal abnormalities, we're all hanging in there. I find the news to be very sad, what with the oil spill and the eventual catastrophic enviromental damage it's causing and will continue to cause...it's weird, but where did everyone think all that rancid oil was going to go? And did they think it would magically disappear and be easily cleaned up? As soon as it happened, anyone with an inkling of intelligence could easily see that this was the beginning to an unprecendented ecolocical disaster of which our children's children would only just be beginning to fathom...BP of course immediately spewed lies faster than the oil spewing from the broken pipe, and noone could see every little thing they said was, is, and will continue to be complete and utter bullshit? Have we not figured out the ways of big corporations yet? They're NOT looking out for ANYONE'S best interest but BP's.....they immediately had a crew of people who's only job was to blow smoke up the public's asses, and are still of course doing so, and of course will continue to do so. No surprise there, or at least there shouldn't be. The spill is, plain and simply, catastrophic in human and wildlife terms. It's probably the single biggest catastrophe we'll see in our lifetimes. There's no magical fix, no magical solution, there's just rancid oil by the hundreds of thousands of gallons being spewed daily into what was once a pristine and amazing place of diverse life and beauty. End of story. All the people's lives living anywhere along the Gulf Coast are now and forever completely ruined and forever changed, there is no happy ending or magical fairy dust to change that glaringly obvious sad fact. BP has definately perpetrated the biggest single life and earth changing crime ever seen on this amazing planet by mankind. Other than that they seem like pretty cool guys. i feel so bad for the generations to come whom will here how amazing life was before the "Event"...we've only just barely bugun to see the horrible ramifications of this spill, and anyone who tries to say otherwise or somehow tries to paint any kind of positive outlook for the Gulf is either working for BP, or is braindead. And believe me, i know all about braindead! Don't mean to be some sort of doomsdayer, but just calling a spade a spade. For some reason noone wants to come out and just say it like it is, as if this can end up being anything but what is is, a horrific, catastrophic, life-changing event. And all because of one company's greedy negligence.. Oh well, if you didn't think oysters were slimy enough, try them covered in 30 weight......Mmmmmmmmmm! Did you here their going to change the name to: "The Gulf of Texico".. Hey, it sucked i know, but it's hard to find humor in something so......so sad. Adieu........ From: Ted 5/22/2010 4:25 P.M. Wow, mij. You're on fire about this. I've been out of the loop. Busy moving, getting settled, learning a new e-commerce business of my son's...no time. Besides, this earth plane is where all us delinquents come to mess things up...it's expected. Hopefully this stabbing of Mother Earth will heal after awhile. But when you cut yourself underwater it takes awhile to stop bleeding. Later... From: Ted 5/25/2010 8:15 A.M. GUESTBOOK Dear Eatons... check out the guestbook From: Ted webmaster@sunnyridge.net 6/11/2010 8:25 A.M. Greetings, All... Sunnyridge is coming up for renewal again...price has settled in at $41.97 a quarter. I'm think'n of a few possibilites: Since I've had so much problems with the current host and there is so little activity on the web site, and there are cheaper hosting companies, I may just cancel the account. I may resurrect it on another host or let sunnyridge continue on the free places... or google blog: http://outhousechat.blogspot.com/ From: Ted 6/14/2010 12:58 P.M.

Financial Statement & PayPal Another surprise....the yearly domain registration for sunnyridge.net expires on July 4th. I will need a "little help from my friends". $39.99 for the year. From: Mij 6/27/2010 6:15 P.M. Hello all! It's a very warm Sunday evening and i'm sitting here having just eaten an awesome Sunday dinner and having also just partook in a most tasty joint..... Hope everyone is doing well, we had a really pleasant surprise today when we got a visit from Larry and Barbara! They were nice enough to to stop by and say hi and reminisce a bit about the good ol days..( it was awesome to see you guys and i hope your trip back up north was safe and uneventful!..) So Mr. Meister, i'd like to put $40.00 towards the website fee, i'll give it to my mom, she likes to do the paying and technical work! i'll go grab it as soon as i get done taking up valuable webspace! Been busier than, as the old saying goes, "A one-legged man at a butt kicking contest"! Having just turned the big "Five O" a few weeks ago i feel the work a bit more nowadays! But i'm still able to do alot and stand up at the end of the day, so i guess i shouldn't complain....but i am! Speaking of complaining, i'd bitch about the oil spill but it's to sad to even be sarcastic about...i mean, i could probably come up with something stupid were i to put my mind to it i'm sure! But the whole thing is just so sad and tragic...and i suppose the biggest tragedy is that it could so easily have been avoided were BP held accountable to their countless violations that they just happy-go-luckily blatantly refused to comply with... Such is the nature of things when big corporations run the government. Good times! So we hit the mid 90's today, the warmest temperature we've had all year! I can't cmplain though because Larry and Barbara were telling us they've barely seen the sun up there..it's been a rather unusual spring/early summer as far as weather goes that's for sure. I like it myself, i'm not a big fan of the high 90's/100 degree temps anymore. We've had so many summers this past decade that were just a smoky, eye-burning, ashy mess. It's been really nice seeing blue clear skies. The official beginning to the fire season is going to begin this week...it's been averaging much earlier so hopefully we can get away with just a regular fire year.. Well, i've written enough! Would hate to actually start putting people into literary comas! I hope the $40.00 helps Ted, it may be all i can do for awhile....but take it one day at a time! Have a great evening.. Mij Peace.

Hi Everyone-- Yesterday, the 4th, Jimmy was playing softbaLL at "Out and About" and the ball hit him 'smack-dab' right below his right cheek and causing him much pain and a day at the hospital--I have to make an appointment tomorrow with a plastic surgeon--He has to sit up straight and can only eat soft foods for awhile--He's feeling quite miserable as you can imagine-- Peace, love, Rita From: Ted 7/5/2010 7:39 P.M. My sympathies to Jimmy. Reminds me of my childhood...not much into sports I still played with the local kids....and everything went straight for my nose...baseballs, snowballs, you name it. Hope he has some medicine. From: Ted 7/10/2010 4:52 P.M.
From: Rita 7/10/2010 4:34 P.M. HOORAY, HOORAY, Sunnyridge.net lives on-- I am so happy about that-- Peace, Love-- From: Mij 7/11/2010 3:56 P.M. Hi all.... "i am not an animal!".......( Elepant man..circa early eighties..) Yep, it was a fun 4th! i was playing left field , a line shot was hit, i decided to see if my face would work better than my glove...... It didn't. To expound a bit on what happened..it hit me and immediately both my ears rang REALLY loud before slowly fading. I stood for a minute, telling myself "it's not too bad, it's not too bad"..but i knew it was. i took off my hat and slowly sat down on the field, soon surrounded by a number of people. i could see my shirt had blood dripping on it, and also felt a sort of...tiredness come over me. ( good ol' shock was setting in..) my best friend kept talking to me and keeping me from passing out while a couple of the people who were in the stands and who had nursing/medical experience covered my eyes and did the whole concussion test of dialated eyes, etc., and immediately it was determined an ambulance should be called right away. i was taken by a golf cart out to Takilma rd where i was picked up by said ambulance, all the while being calmed and looked after by at least 6 or 7 people, all of them just trying to keep me in as calm and as concience as they could. i was taken by ambulance up to Grants Pass and Three Rivers Hospital, where they took cat scans and X-rays of my face. i already new from the way it felt and from the comments of everyone that my cheekbone was fractured, as there was a very noticable indentation in my cheek..and although i've been through my share of different kinds of pain throughout my life, i just have to say that this FUCKING HURT BAD! i remember i kept saying to the ambulance driver on the way up to the hospital how much it hurt...he of course kept agreeing and saying he imagined it did! But really, i'm not ashamed to say i was plain-ass crying... This happened about 1:30 in the Afternoon and i didn't get back home until 3:00am in the morning, my mom and sister with me the whole time. ( i give them so much credit for having stayed and comforted me all day and night.. i don't know what i'd have done without their awesome attitude and strength, it would have been alot more miserable to say the least..i'd just like to say how much i appreciate they're being there and how much i love them..) It turned out i had fractured my right cheekbone in three spots...my entire right side of my face felt.....smashed. But i was lucky in that i didn't lose any teeth and my eye, although very sore and swollen and red, seemed to be at lest functioning and doing it's thing.. i had to wait a couple of days to try and get the swelling and possible infection under control, and had surgery on Thursday, which knock on wood seems to have gone well. At least it doesn't look like you could eat soup from my cheek anymore!.. My face from my nose eastward to my ears has NO feeling and is so numb it feels like a big slab of steak....REALLY weird sensation and one i hope remedies itself at least to some extent. The doctor did say it takes quite awhile for the feeling and sensation to come back, and that some may never return, but that's a wait and see thing at this point. i can't be impatient and need to let it do it's thing...the pain is still bad of course although the past day or two it's gotten at least bareable...needless to say i'm on some pretty heavy painkillers and antibiotics...i have a list of things i take and the times to take them, and i mostly eat very soft foods or broths, etc.....that too will just take time and patience.. It's been a long week to say the least, but between my family, my friends, the surgery, and the meds i've managed to make it through what has been one hell of a long week.... So that's where it is...i've been sleeping ( if you want to call it that..more like a twilight-type doze..) in a recliner due to the fact i'm not allowed to lay flat..it just puts too much pressure on the bone and also feels really uncomfortable.... But soon Mij the annoying, Mij the unbearable, Mij the dumbass! will be back to normal, and i'll hopefully only have bad memories of the incident. I'd once again like to thank all of my family, especially mom and sis, for they're awesome suppot and love, and all of my friends too... i hope everyone has a great week and i'll write again in awhile and give an update. I've already made jokes about it of course! I'll regale you with them when i feel better... Until then peace and serenity to all, and remember to use your glove! Adieu.... Peace. From: Ted 7/12/2010 7:18 P.M. Geez, mij...you been having your share of painful experiences this year. Like you said...at some point this will just be a memory. Hope that happens real soon. The whole time I was reading your story I keep thinking how the movies make getting smashed in the face seem like a common day event. Here's the truth! Wonder how that steak on your face cooks up? From: Mij 7/13/2010 8:09 A.M. I personally like my face well done!..... Your right Ted, in fact we were talking about that too! In a movie or TV show people or characters will get SMASHED in the face with any number or types of objects and walk away with the perverbial little blood drop that they casually wipe away! We were just watching a movie and a guy was hit in his face twice with a baseball bat, yet his only discomfort was a red spot where he was hit!....in reality he'd have been drinking his food through a straw for the rest of his life! And all this time i thought everything on TV and movies was real. So of course now anytime we happen watch or see a baseball game, either i, or someone in the famiy, has to mention how THEY seem to use their gloves to catch the ball.....good to have caring family and friends! I'm doing a bit better each day though and i'm in that stage where i need to be very patient and realize it's a slow process. And i'm not a sit around and do nothing person so it's hard for me to just vegetate in a chair and find stuff to keep my mind occupied..( internet porn isn't working either! ) But i see the doc on Thursday for my first follow-up and hopefully i'll get the ok to do a few more things such as not trying to sleep sitting up....i've tried multiple pillows, cushions, etc., but you just can't get that good comfortable sleep and feeling when your in that position. Hopefully i'll get the ok to start laying down..( Hey! It's the little things sometimes! ) I'm glad to see this wonderful site is taken care of financially for awhile, i know how much of a strain and mental burden it is and can be for you Ted, and i hope it's always here for future rants and diatribes! I'm heading back to my chair and my pillows, but it's good to get up and just...do normal things now and then. I'm even having a cup of coffee this morning and it almost tastes normal....( it goes well with steak! ) I'll annoy again soon, Peace. From: Michelle (via email) 7/19/2010 9:09 A.M.
