WVU doesn't burn popcorn and burn down dorms therefore we are much more powerful than Pitt

Family Weekly Newsletter

Issue 28 Vol 2

Important Holidays:Yom Kippur, Good Neighbor Day (so Mark/Dad must play nice tomorrow)

Weather:The weather is fully enjoying the change of the seasons, with a forecast of a wet and chilly weekend.  Embrace this fact and sit inside by a fire and a glass of red, red wine.  Note: Just because the weather is chilly, that does not mean that you should have a chilly personality.

Urbandictionary word of the day:  Cyberchondriac

Someone who spends their time searching medical websites for diseases they convince themselves they actually have

Alex: Mum!  diagnoseme.com told me that I had the swine flu!  It said that if your stomach hurts AND your head hurts at the same time you have swine flu.

Bev: You don't have the swine flu; you are such a cyberchondraic.  Most people call that a hangover.

 

Song of the Week:Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver (we have a bye week, so I am keeping the spirit of the Mountaineer alive!)

Notable Accomplishments:Ron Jr., Cam, and Nate participated in a golf tournament and Ron Jr. won a Steelers shirt, Cam won a knife, and Nate won a huge bag of candy.  Nate survived getting his braces on despite it taking double the time as they said it would and having a bracket fall off the first night.  Bev made it to work on time despite G-20 and protestors.  Unfortunately, Bev's coffee maker has poured it's last cup of coffee and therefore Bev is caffeine-depraved.  Mark, upon approaching his 1 year anniversary of his hospital stay finally has a clean bill of health.  Lexy brought home two trophies from the Cheer Queen Pageant last weekend for 3rd place for gown and 3rd place for cheer routine of the 25 girls that participated.  Ron Sr. has scheduled his cataract surgery for October.  Cam's senior pictures are finally finished.  Ron Jr. had a presentation for work which he aced.  The G-20 in Pittsburgh introduced a new Gatorade drink, so be excited for that.

Hypothetical Situation of the Week:You are participating in a siutation much like displayed in the movies "Rat Race" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."  You have to travel 8 hours and compete against all other readers of the FWN to get to $80 million dollars buried under a big A.  Unfortunately, all things with a moter (including all types of aircraft, cars, mopeds, etc) no longer work.  Cause, uh, the polarity of the world is off or something.  What are the means that you use to get to the money first?

FWN Member of the Week:No one is responding to e-mails about FWN Member of the Week.  So we have a stand-in.

 TROY POLAMALU!! (Yes, I talked to him, we're friends).

It took him eight years to grow out his hair that long.  His favorite place in the world is Egypt.  His favorite drink is Tang.  He was so thrilled with being the FWN Member of the week, that he changed his facebook name to Troy Polamalu.

Thanks! (clap clap clap clap clap)
