I read Dandy Don every morning.
His site gets my day started and I enjoy his LSU spirit.
Prayers for your wife Dandy and your family.
Thanks for your work in bringing Tiger fans news some of us cant get anywhere else.

Dandyjohn, thanks so much for posting about your grandparents. Your grandad is an awesome guy. I live in SC and his site is one of my life- lines (along with TD) for LSU sports news. He always responds to my emails and he so faithful to Tiger fans everywhere. He and your grandmother and your whole family are in my prayers.

Dandy's site was my main source of LSU scoop during my years in London (although I hated having to wait until lunch time for the day's update ).

Wishing you God's love and strength in this difficult time.

DD's sentimental nature and strong sense of family make me really enjoy his bolg...particularly around the holidays....

his football comentary is as much a part of my morning ritual as a good cup of community coffee.....

thanks so much for all that Mr long puts into his site.....

Hope and pray Mrs. Long is better.

I appreciate his site, his Tiger enthusiasm, and his all-original interviews. Keep up the good work DD.

Don has one of the most informative LSU sports pages available, I would be severely under informed were it not for him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife Dandy.


Someone should send a link to this thread to Don in nis e-mail. Im sure He'd appreciate the support and love...I would, but Im not very good with the linking.

anyway, i don't plan on posting much here because i don't want my opinions to get confused with my pawpaw's but thank you all for the nice thoughts.
Tell Dandy Don even us USC fans enjoy his work and admire his dedication to LSU. He might get a laugh out of that

God bless you and your family, and all the best to your Grandma.

I'm sure you've all read it by now, but Dandy Don got wind of this thread and all of our wishes and thanked everyone in his update this morning. Well done Tiger fans!


quote:

I would like to take a minute to thank all of you for your emails Thursday concerning my wife's health. I received well over 200 messages and according to what I have been told Tiger Rant posted over 120 messages with good wishes and prayers for my wife, and that makes me feel very good. I also want to thank Shirley and Bill Lawton for sending the most beautiful flower arrangement I have every seen. I know that everyone has their problems and a few people do not care to hear about my problems and I try not to mention my wife's condition very often, but I do receive 50 or more emails each week wanting an update on her health. I would also like to add that my son Scott and daughter Paula who live within 15 minutes of our house are a big help to me and they spend a lots of time with their mother which is a big help to me. Thanks again.

Very, very well said.....and thanks for starting this thread. And for you DD negaTigers, thanks for keeping it to yourself on this one! You see, sometimes this site can show some class. Remember folks, we are all one big (sometimes happy) family. The LSU family IS one that rears it's beautiful head every once in awhile!

I like many here, read DD before TD and even before TSD. You could tell long ago that this man TRULY loves his wife. It appears to be one of those "old time" relationships that don't appear to be present much anymore. Good for Dandy Don....and good luck to he and his whole Long family.

Oh......and Happy Easter to all of you as well.

You guys think it would help if the Rant Nation made a donation to his site, say each person donate like $20? It's not a lot out of us individually, but together we could help maybe brighten their days just a tad. I think it would speak volumes.

I think I'll be making a donation soon.

Just a thought. Again, not intending to hijack the thread.

ETA - His site apparently isn't set up to accept any donations. So I'll again say - a HUGE +1 to the above posts.
