    THE ASYLUM

    HELLO EVERYONE!

     
    Welcome to the Asylum...
     
    I am delirious that you are here with us.
     

    When we looked for Asylum in the dictionary, we found many definitions among which were included:

    haven, shelter, retreat, sanctuary, refuge, institution, cover, den, preserve, and safe house.

    But there were also definitions like:

    funny farm, looney bin and laughing academy.

    We certainy hope that you will find many if not all of these definitions to be true of the Asylum.  It has been established as a safe haven/hangout for those weeks between NBU semesters.  It is a place where you can keep up with your friends from NBU semesters past.  And a place where you can make new friends to support you through future semesters of NBU.

    We will have challenges to keep you motivated.  Weekly weigh ins to keep you honest.  And of course our loveable trouble maker to keep you on your toes and having fun.

    Please tell all your friends about us, everyone is welcome!!!!  The more the merrier!!!

    Tracy ... Annie is adorable.  And I love how you got her name.  When did you adopt her???

    And Michelle is exaggerating, it is perfectly safe when I am around, I took my self defense classes and I can kick some #(&.  I can defend against anything except for spiders...I can't do spiders, they creep me out.  Thankfully though we have Daniel around who squishes them for me.

    Orphan Annie's Story:

    Last time we went home to Oregon, we stayed at my parents house as usual.  We were getting ready to leave when this cat showed up and headed straight for my mom and dads trash cans.  My dad stuck his foot out to shoo her away (not kick. more like nudge).  He looked at us and said that he had a hard time being mean to that cat because she was such a nice one.  I asked him who she belonged to and he told me that she used to belong to the people who lived just down the road from them but they got busted for drugs about a week earlier and that they were going to be in the pokey for a very long time.  He knows I am a softy for kitties and he looked at me and asked if I wanted a truckin kitty.  I looked at Terry and he just kinda grinned and I knew it was gonna be a "go".  We did take her for a trial run in the pickup just to get an idea how she would do traveling and she did great.  She just sat on my lap with her toes on the door and watched everything going by.   She was very clingy.. guessing she was starved for attention.  When we got back to the house we put her down outside and figured that was going to be her last chance to escape us.  She followed us back and forth between the house and the truck while we loaded stuff back into it.  When we got ready to go, I hopped up into the truck.. she looked up at me from the ground and I patted the seat and said "come on, little girl" and up she flew into the truck!!  Since then she isn't quite so clingy but still loves to be a lap kitty.  She is absolutely adorable and sweet and has even melted Terry's heart.

    Ok...so where is everyone?  I am raring and ready to go.. cooked up a storm yesterday and am determined to stay POP!  I got my weigh in out of the way... not real happy with it, but at least I am not gaining anymore.  I am kinda thinking that getting on thyroid meds finally has something to do with that. Its been a long time since I have been able to see a doc about that and he was a bit freaked by my lab results.  I guess it is truly time to start putting myself first in that respect.


    Anyways... I am really glad to back as a part of a group.  Dan.. its really nice to meet you!  I see you were a part of Annie and Michelles dorm.  Glad to see ya survived!! hehe.

    Take care ya'll

    Hey Tracy and Terry and Orphan Annie, glad you are here with me  Michelle and Annie in the wacky world of the Asylum some days I really do feel like a nut, college is driving me crazy seems like a conspiracy I had 2 pop quizes in two different classes and on Monday(next) I have 2 tests and a paper due the paper is done

    Sometimes i wonder why i decided to go back to college after being out for 10-15 years lol oh well its a challenge and well I want to learn all I can.

    LOL yes I survived the dorm with all the fine women Annie and Michelle were and are the best and I appreciate their help and support.

    Take care and have a great day tomorrow

    Daniel
