Please comment with your thoughts.

Yeah I figured this was coming - Bummer!
Well, I suppose that it may be best to go to facebook.
(Sigh!)

I guess the blog just wasn't controversial enough - ultimatums are controversial so that is one way to get people talking. I vote for eggnog.
On another subject I was asking clif today where they would be for T-giving. We are wondering who all is going? We'll probably base our decision on how many croth's are there. Anyway we can link this blog up with facebook so that we can use both better? Savvy clif should be able to figure that out.
Love you all - and I love this blog - I guess I should have been more controversial. Not argumentative or combative just controversial :-) actually now that I think about it eggnog is pretty controversial especially if it is spiked a little.

well, we don't HAVE to be controversial! We can be and should be able to have good discussions. But it's also a great place to share what's going on with our lives. An easy place to put new pictures or videos or information about our day to day lives. I think everyone should re-read the purpose statement and then share more!

I agree. But I vote for homemade ice cream, Yummy!!!
I ate lunch with Cary today. He was here to get Edwin to take him to a Braves game tonight for his 13 birthday.

Dad haas a funeral Sunday. Betty Jenny, Julie Smith's mother. Some of you know her. She was 89.

I made zuc relish yesterday. 7 qts and 4 pints.

We are getting beans, tomatoes, zuc and yellow squash and eggpland and peppers. and some cukes.

So that is my day.

Love to you all,

Mom

Okay - Eggnog flavored homemade ice cream. Well, unfortunately it is about the same 3 or 4 people commenting here and not much else.
Well, back to some more controversy (I'm really just joking about that Sally) and speaking of zucchini the other night April made some "apple" crisp to serve to some friends and after we were done eating she informed us it was made with zucchini and not apples.
WOW! Everyone liked it and no one had a clue.

Okay - since some of you may not be able to maneuver back to the purpose statement I'll make it easy for you!
"C" ROTH BLOG IS A REVIVAL OF COMMUNICATION AMONG THE CHILDREN OF CLIFTON AND DONNA ROTH. WE ARE ENDEAVORING TO GO AGAINST OUR SELFISH TENDENCIES, WHICH HAVE ALLOWED US TO GROW COMFORTABLE LIVING MILES AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER AND RARELY INTERACTING.
I would say that to a certain extent this has happened but it needs to continue. I recently changed my web navigator and so the blog didn't automatically come up as my home page. I do have it now though on my Safari list of sites and it is at the top. So we just have to make sure we check every other day or so and do our best to add to the discussion - think of it as a way to just do some public thinking or journaling of your day or weeks events while trying to add to the other discussion that is there. I'm not sure - maybe there needs to be an easier way of getting posts off to Clif. I think that may complicate things or at least delay them unnecessarily. Well, there is my two cents. Have a great weekend. Hey, we just posted some brand new pictures on facebook check them out!

Well, here is my excuse for non participation. OUR computer has been a pain in the but for months.all my shorts cuts were off the screen and I just didnt know the address of the blog. I tried a few times and was not successful. I was just lazy. We had a guy come in this past week and cleaned up our computer we had like 485 viruses. I basicly check my facebook and email. each time I had to sign in . sooo now that Im back and running and have all my shortcuts /icons back on computer. its easy for me to check blog.

I like face book too. but I did enjoy the blog.

I will drink to this goodbye.

Eggnog it is. Cheers!!!!

AAAAAA!! good stuff!!

mom I WILL help you with facebook. okay? I will be over tuesday!!

Well, I was searching my name on google today and ran across the blog. (I search every once in awhile, not because I'm vain, because I'm cautious!) I wish I had wrote more. I looked back at alot of the posts. Especially when I was in Iraq. They meant alot to me. I soaked them up, selfishly. I never really got this thing. I never really could figure out anything to write. I always felt that everybody was "deeper" than me. I am the youngest in this family, yet I feel for a 25 year old I have seen the world and expierenced all life has to offer. Until I met a fellow officer. He has pushed me, like no one else has, to look within myself to find my "reality". He has helped me to learn about myself. To examine my life and and build on the positives and learn from the negatives. He has inspired me.
So this post maybe lost in cyberspace but I will feel some closure. It ended so abrupt. I wish I could connect with you all, but I am not theological, I am not hyperly invovled in church, I have tattoos,(I often wonder what you all say about that.) I have "deamons" that you will never understand, I have regrets that are unspoken(dont we all?), I have beliefs that counter those of my conservative family. I never wrote because of my insecurities. Even though the Corps taught me to be strong mentally and physically, when I am with my family I feel that there is nothing I connect with. I have my struggles like everyone else, family, marriage, LIFE. But the one struggle I have that none of you have eats more of me than you could ever imagine. If Iraq had never happened... if. I wish Cary could have talked to me. I feel what he felt. I still feel. I love my family. I love you all. I dont expect anybody to read this. But if someone does feel free to comment under me. I am too insecure to "talk" person to person, part of my reality. I live the best I can with what I have left. -Curtis
