And we r also celebrating Bran's graduation from Naval bootcamp.  So our day and night is filled.

Yippee!!!  She came home on the 22nd.  I flew into Chicago to see her graduate and let me tell u it was the most awesome graduation that i have ever seen.  When they announced the graduating recruites (they did it by Divisions not by individuals) i was so excited.  When they announced her Division 034 i screamed and yelled Brans name and clapped.  She looked so great.  I was crying cause i was so very proud of her.  Finally liberty got called and i went over there and hugged her so hard and long.  She introduced me to her friends and her RDC's.  It was so cool.  &lt;br /&gt;Did have a bit of a problem with Gary tho.  He had asked me if i wanted to join them for lunch cause they were going to take Bran out and i was just going to meet Bran at the airport but Gary decided to invite me and then after he would take us to the airport.  Well he said that he never said he would take me and Bran to the airport, which in reality he did.  See u have to know something about Gary, he forgets things he says alot of times and this he did forget.  Well anyway i guess Noon felt bad Bran did not know what was happening and i only brought enough moola for the shuttle one way.  So here i am crying in a huge bind.  Well Noon must have said something cause then Gary decides he will take us to the airport.  I really did not want to go with him but i really had no choice so we went and all he did was drop us off hugged Bran and said see ya later.  He did not even take her to lunch.  So the whole thing kinda blew especially when i should have been the first to congratulate and hug Bran but guess who ended up doing that?  Yes Gary's wifey.  It may seem petty but to me it was not cause she does not even like Bran and she is not her mother.  But i look at it this way, she came home with me and Gary and his childish ways got him zip.  So i am pretty happy and she missed me as much as i missed her plus she always called me from boot and only wrote to Keanu.  So i guess her dad was pretty jealous cause i was her P.O.C.  I did tell him what was going on and she say she was going to write him but i guess she did not have time.  Heck she hardly had time for anything but i did get about 5 phone calls from her.  So i am a pretty happy camper.  Bran looks great.  So HIP HIP HOORAY!  HIP HIP HOORAY! for Bran.  If u want to see pics of her they r on Kernyens blog.  Thanks for all the support u showed her.  She really appreciated it.  &lt;br /&gt;On the 2nd of Jan. she will be on her way back to Great Lakes, IL.  Which is right back where she was but of course on a different area of the base.  S&lt;br /&gt;So there u go with all the juicy 411.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-113545958880755851?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/113545958880755851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/113545958880755851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html#113545958880755851' title='Hey u all...'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-113497243521074590</id><published>2005-12-18T22:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-12-18T22:07:15.223-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hey guys...</title><content type='html'>Happy ChristmasHanukkahKwanzaa to everyone.

She graduates the 22nd of December.  I can hardly wait until then cause i will be going to her graduation.  Yes i am totally horrified to fly but for Bran i will do it.  I am so proud of her so i will overcome the total panic fear of flying and see her graduate.  For those who do not have her address, here it is but write as soon as possible or your letter will be returned cause she will not be there anymore.  Here u go:  &lt;br /&gt;                                   SR Glisan, Brandyce M.&lt;br /&gt;                                   Div. 034  Ship 05&lt;br /&gt;                                   Recruit Training Command&lt;br /&gt;                                   3610 Illinois Street&lt;br /&gt;                                   Great Lakes, IL 60088-3118&lt;br /&gt;So be sure u get your letters, cards, postcards, etc... in as soon as u can.  DO NOT SEND HER ANY TYPE OF FOOD OR IT WILL BE CONFISCATED AND THROWN AWAY ALSO NO LITERATURE UNLESS IT HAS TO DO WITH THE NAVY.  Thanks everyone who has written her and sorry if she has not written back.  As u all know the military especially bootcamp is rough and very time consuming so it is very hard to right back.  Just know that all of u are in her heart and knows that u are rooting for her.  Thanks again and Bless all!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-113437914027298097?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/113437914027298097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/113437914027298097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html#113437914027298097' title='Hey everyone!!!!!'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-112561085518034210</id><published>2005-09-01T14:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-01T14:40:55.186-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hey!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;We r still waiting on Brans reinduction into the Navy.  Her new MOS is Aviation Maintenance Administration.  It was Machinist Mate.  Of course when she first swore in (about 6 mos. ago) that was all they had.  The only plus to that was she would have gotten $7500.00 bonus.  But then again who wants to be in the belly of a ship for a career in the Navy.  Me it would not have been to bad but fer Bran she is too girlie fer that.  Of course that is not a bad thing but I would not know too much about that cause I am such a tom-boy and seem to always be.  Check out Keanu's blog, he finally updated.  Also check out my wish list at Torrid.com.  My e-mail is &lt;a href="mailto:dukkydoo@yahoo.com"&gt;dukkydoo@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;.  U all might want to write that down ^-^.  Also have one on Hottopic.com.  The size of the boots I want r actually 8-81/2.  If not 81/2 try 9.  Thanx all.  U know X-mas is coming soon.

But do not worry everything will be well.  She is just now waiting.  To tell u all she did pass her PFT (physical fitness test) and was on her way to recieveing E-2 when the blunder happened.  She will still recieve everything she was told except for the bonuses because she changed her MOS.  So 7 week bootcamp in Great Lakes, Ill and 2 months schooling in Pensacola, FL.  She is as prepared as she can be.  So like I said we r just waiting fer the dates.

The more letters she gets the easier it will be 4 her 2 get thru bootcamp even tho it is only 7 weeks.  Ok, ok mine was 10 weeks but this is about my witto Bran.  Now if u did not know this u will know it now.  Her bday will be spent in bootcamp.  It is the 16th of Sept.  Now I am pretty sure we can send her cookies and things like that but if u want 2 actually send her a gift please wait until she gets into school and I will let u know when that is and what her address will be.  If u cannot send cookies please let her know that u r thinking about her on her bday.  She will turn 20 yo. that day.  So get out the pens and stationary and get ready to write.  I am trying to see if we can get her a letter everyday to keep her spirits up.  Remember this is her first time away from home and family.

Me, Bran, and the sis went to the Ca state fair.  It was great except 4 the sun and heat of course.  But me and Bran went on all these cool rides and we just had the greatest time.  Me and Karen had a roasted corn on the cob and smoked turkey leg.  Whoa was that turkey leg gross.  I suggest waiting until Thanksgiving to eat your turkey legs unless you r like the cousin fron Christmas vacation (the movie) where the turkey looks so perfect but when Clark Griswold starts 2 cut it it cracks open and there is nothing 2 it.  What a hoot!!  Ok well anyhoo that is what that turkey leg was like.  But the fair was good.  Me and Bran won real gold fishies in their own plastic bowl thingy.  Also Bran ordered curly fries and when she got them, they were like a big brick of them.  We all thought they were going 2 be in a cup like most but this thing was huge.  "We" could not even finish it.  I am telling u going to the fair is like raising your cholesteral level about 30 points or more especially if it is already high.

The next day Monday me, Kernyen, and Maim went to dinner at all u can eat Chinese/Japanese, China Star in Rancho Cambodia where she lives.  Well they both start in on me about my big hair and long nails.  They said, "U come back from New York and u look like a one of those Italian/Jewish women that is so famous for their big hair, long nails, and gaudy jewlery.  To tell u the truth, I actually do and my boyfriends family is Italian (not to be racist or anything, it is just what we see of how Italians/Jewish women r portrayed on TV or movies in New York).  His mom does not have the big hair but she has the long nails and the jewlery.  So does both of his brothers fiance's.  Yes both of his brothers r getting married 2 weeks apart.  Anyhoo, we r all cracking up and having a good ole time.  The next day Kernyen is supposed to take me home but alas she asks if it is ok if she takes me home tomorrow. Of course I say yes.

Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart&lt;br /&gt;has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has &lt;br /&gt;left your pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FLY BY&lt;br /&gt;The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping.&lt;br /&gt;Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the&lt;br /&gt;bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a &lt;br /&gt;FREQUENT FLYER.&lt;br /&gt;People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into &lt;br /&gt;the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ESCAPEE&lt;br /&gt;A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a&lt;br /&gt;poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of&lt;br /&gt;embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. &lt;br /&gt;Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the &lt;br /&gt;urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee.&lt;br /&gt;It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes&lt;br /&gt;both parties feel uneasy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JAILBREAK&lt;br /&gt;When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace and&lt;br /&gt;sounds very much like rapid fire. This is usually a side effect of&lt;br /&gt;diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in&lt;br /&gt;the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COURTESY FLUSH&lt;br /&gt;The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. &lt;br /&gt;This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WALK OF SHAME&lt;br /&gt;Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just&lt;br /&gt;stunk up the bathroom.. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if&lt;br /&gt;someone walks in and busts you.. As with farts, it is best to pretend&lt;br /&gt;that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the&lt;br /&gt;COURTESY FLUSH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER&lt;br /&gt;A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often&lt;br /&gt;see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or&lt;br /&gt;magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of&lt;br /&gt;The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N)&lt;br /&gt;A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping &lt;br /&gt;goes off without ! incident. This group can help you to monitor the&lt;br /&gt;whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAFE HAVENS&lt;br /&gt;A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least&lt;br /&gt;expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex.&lt;br /&gt;This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the &lt;br /&gt;bathroom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TURD BURGLAR&lt;br /&gt;Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to&lt;br /&gt;force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable&lt;br /&gt;moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs,&lt;br /&gt;remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will&lt;br /&gt;avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAMO-COUGH&lt;br /&gt;A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you&lt;br /&gt;are in a stall. This can be used to ver-up a WATERMELON, or to alert&lt;br /&gt;potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with &lt;br /&gt;an ASTAIRE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASTAIRE&lt;br /&gt;A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you&lt;br /&gt;are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is&lt;br /&gt;occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the&lt;br /&gt;pooper can poop in peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WATERMELON&lt;br /&gt;A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This &lt;br /&gt;is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on,&lt;br /&gt;create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAVANA OMELET&lt;br /&gt;A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet&lt;br /&gt;water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an&lt;br /&gt;Astaire. You can also use that moment to noisily procure a handful of&lt;br /&gt;toilet paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UNCLE TED&lt;br /&gt;A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever.&lt;br /&gt;Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting&lt;br /&gt;on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the&lt;br /&gt;crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty.&lt;br /&gt;This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-108736974345879509?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108736974345879509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108736974345879509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html#108736974345879509' title='Hehehe!!!'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-108728119442177918</id><published>2004-06-14T23:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-06-15T17:20:18.116-07:00</updated><title type='text'>All Americans!!!</title><content type='html'>Here is something EVERY AMERICAN should know. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;                                     &lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;TAPS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps." It's  the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes. But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be  interested to find out about its humble beginnings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reportedly, it all  began  in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army  was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay  severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through  the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him  toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb  with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out.  Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army.  The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain had asked if  he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son  at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could  give him only one musician.  The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. This wish was granted.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps" ... used at military funerals  was born. The words are ... &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Day is done ... Gone the sun ... From the lakes .... &lt;br /&gt;  From the hills ... From the sky ... All is well ... Safely rest .. &lt;br /&gt;                               God  is nigh ... &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Fading light ... Dims the sight ... And a star ... Gems the sky...  Gleaming bright ... From afar ... Drawing nigh...                 Falls the night ...&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thanks and praise ... For our days .... Neath the sun .... Neath the stars ... Neath the sky ... As we go ... This we know ... &lt;br /&gt;                                God is nigh...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I, too, have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more  than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I didn't  know  if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along. I now have an even deeper  respect for the song than I did before.  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;REMEMBER THOSE LOST AND HARMED WHILE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY, and also those presently serving in the Armed Forces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;small&gt;This was not originally authored by me&lt;/small&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-108728119442177918?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108728119442177918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108728119442177918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html#108728119442177918' title='All Americans!!!'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-108667411707065212</id><published>2004-06-07T22:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-06-07T22:55:17.070-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm Back!!!</title><content type='html'>Hey all guess what?

Mine was fine.  But what was even more fun was the day and night before.  I went to a wedding.  It was sooooo much fun.  The wedding itself was beautiful.  The reception was outstanding.  In the beginning there was drinks and delicious horderves(I know the spelling).  Then after that we all went into the main hall and had dinner and dancing.  The steak was so tender it melted in your mouth.  Ralph had the stuffed soul and he said it was great.  I won the center piece which was a bouquet of dozen red roses.  Even the DJ had props for everyone for certain songs.

The Last Samurai and the new version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Boy o' boy The Last Samurai was so awesome that it totally reminded me of dad.  I am going to purchase it on DVD.  The storyline was excellent.  Sad but excellent.  I give it 5 *'s.  Now The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, that was a totally different story.  I was sooooo restless watching it that I became irritated.

I am working in my boyfriends new store called USA Datanet.  Right now I am just volunteering until it takes off which, I will tell u, it is starting to take off.  We sell pc's for $250.00.  They r refurbished but they run like new and they r very fast.  We also sell internet and phone hook ups for very cheap.  Also whoever needs to use the internet and print things out cost $3.00 an hour and $.20 a printout after 10 pages.  We have already sold 2 pc's within 3 days and have a $100.00 down from a guy who is the head of the Chamber of Commerce here for 5 pc's.  He is also getting more people to buy.  We have ads in all the newspapers.  This is going to be a great business if Ralphie plays it right.  I do believe he will, finally!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-108396855401948643?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108396855401948643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108396855401948643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108396855401948643' title='Working Gal now!!!'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-108387918316374048</id><published>2004-05-06T14:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-06T14:37:30.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sorry Everyone!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Sorry bout not updating for a while but the pc I was using crashed and I finally now have access to another pc but it will only be once or twice a week unless I can pull a rabbit out of my *beep*.  Things have been going swell here.  The weather is finally getting warmer but very humid, YUK!!!  Lady has gotten sooooo big that she is now a menace to the household and society:)  Actually she needs a bigger place so Ralphie may give her to his friend who has children and a huge backyard.  I am happy for her if he does cause where she is now is way too small for her.  Plus she has no backyard to run around in.  She certainly is a good doggy.  Very loving and affectionate until she uses people as a chew toy but she still is a pup so we scold her and get her more things to chew on.  So what has everyone been up to?  Sorry again for the long wait.  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6637810-108387918316374048?l=kirbyfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108387918316374048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6637810/posts/default/108387918316374048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kirbyfiles.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108387918316374048' title='Sorry Everyone!!!'/><author><name>Kirby</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15419272441765745847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://www.kernyen.com/kirby/images/kimaug1.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637810.post-108010578999655900</id><published>2004-03-23T21:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-03-23T21:26:36.950-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Guess what?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Yes Lady got her first bath.
