Ever heard of the Molly Maguires, and Campus living

October 14, 2011: today for dinner i had potato soup cuz I really wanted soup but then I remembered how we made it at paul bunyan with the scallions, bacon, cheese, croutons and salt and pepper so added that stuff from the baked potato bar and salad bar and my friend was like omg that looks soo good and she made the same thing and then walking to our table some kids were like omg what is that!? so I told them how to make it and then they got some too haha so we kids like it even if the judges at paul bunyan didn't
On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 Hey,
It was good seeing you yesterday. My poor baby is sick, awww.
I know, this week is brutal, the midterms, homecoming, cold, but after this it should get better, right?
I am glad you like your roommate and suitemates, I hope it’s a lot better for you than last year.
Last night I practiced my informative speech on Dad and Max, both were sitting on the living room couch (speech is about the Molly Maguires) and when I started shouting when I got to the part with Alexander Campbell’s handprint, Max got up and left the room. I will probably crack up during my speech in class when I get to that part, haha.
Just think how horrible the Mollies and their children had it back then.
I send well wishes and Bussis your way. All my love always, Mom
yeah it will get better once homecoming is over and on sunday at 330 is a nighmare before christmas and then tim burtons corpse bride my two favorite movies so i will be looking forward to that lol
and good luck on ur speech dont yell too loud or youll scare everyone
it was good seeing u too!  
2011/10/19 Hey, Am doing my speech about the Mollies tonight.  Are you feeling better? Mom
yeah i'm feeling a lot better and I went to bed mad early last night so i wasnt SO tired when I woke up this morning
Wow, the things we learn in college… look at this learning process. (I’m referring to the early to bed, so you’re not so tired the next morning, and figuring that out all on your own). That’s why I encourage campus living, because you learn just as much outside the classroom as inside.
Can you believe that other than the professor, nobody else had heard about the Mollies? I did a really great speech, but then I stumbled because one of my friends gave me a hand signal, and it totally threw me off. She meant well, I’m not mad, she wanted me to also address the other side of the room, b/c that was one of the critiques on my first speech, that I kept concentrating on only one side of the room, so she tried to remind me to look at the others too. Anyway, I picked up fairly quick and continued, and it was really a great speech.
Michael gave me his email address for you and cell phone number, and I gave him yours, just in case he contacts you. Just start with a small hello and see if it leads anywhere.
One of the ladies is buying my book, so I’ll bring that to class next week, and Rachel who works at the xxx library, brought one to her director for review, to see if they want to include it in their collection. So little baby steps toward success I hope.
What’s mad early, like before 1AM? Are you done with your paper? What do you have left to do for finals? Are you watching the movies here or there?
Always in my prayers, my love, Take good care of yourself,
Ttys, Mom
yeah i'm gonna watch on campus i dont think im coming home until halloween weekend
That’s fine, I’m so glad you like being on campus, you sound much better than last year. I’m busy anyway with getting the first draft of my new book ready. Hey, my Social Media trainer recommended the Mac Airbook, it’s fantastic, but expensive. Dad is researching, but no promise yet. We’ll see.
Her answer: Mac Airbook is really thin which is good but it's so thin that I feel like it would break easily.... I want to go with daddy to the applestore to look

Jim Thorpe, PA

Thu, 7 Oct 2010: If we go to Jim Thorpe as planned on Sunday, we can go on a regular tour, the ghost tours are only on Saturdays, would you be home on the 16th?
I emailed Betty Lou (the Old Jail Museum’s owner, setting of my YA paranormal novel) and asked her what day she would be there b/c I want to meet her, so let’s wait and see what she says. I also asked if she would grant me artist rights and allow me and you to go into cell #17 to take a picture of the handprint for the cover page. I hope. I would like your hand to pretend to reach up to Mr. Campbell’s handprint and take a picture of it, wouldn’t that be cool?
I took off on Monday since you’re home.
Boots from Journey's look great, not bright colors, more subdued on a black background. Mom

Cool.

Thu, 7 Oct 2010  Hey Al, Look who has special permission to take a picture of the handprint and whose hand will be on the cover, wow. Are you free on the 16th? Mom the author
