far from home tiger

Hey Spider,
Please add me to the list. I know I haven't posted much, but the first post I made should speak for itself. I love LSU and everything it stands for. It is hard to stomach toxic, negative people on a daily basis.

A win is still a win. Plus we only got penalized three times for 35 yards. Last season there was laundry all over the place.

As Always,

I discovered this little shop in the mall I go to occasionally. This company was started in the Netherlands in 1999 and came to the USA in 2004. There are only 5 stores in the USA right now. They are located in Missoula, Montana, Skokie, Illinois, Charlottesville, Virginia, The Woodlands, Texas and the one I found in Bellevue, Washington. There is also a web site.

You are able to sample the different types of oils, vinegars, and other products they sell in the store. There was a sampling table and the store associates show you different combinations. I had a chance to taste 8-10 different combinations that were very good. They decant the oil and vinegar into different size containers for you. It is a nice store and it was fun to taste the product before buying. I really enjoyed my time in the store and hope ya'll will take a few minutes to go to the web site or store (if you live or have one close.)

Yea, I know, but it is expensive to fly home more than 2 times a year. Was home for Christmas and it was OK. I actually was in Houston with the other side of the family. Don't know what is going to happen this summer since Thunder on the Gulf has been cancelled.

Louisiana strawberries, CRAWFISH, fresh vegetables of any type, good fish and I could go on and on. Everybody have an extra portion for me. Boy, do I miss Louisiana in the Spring and Summer. Had to stop reading here, because it makes me extremely homesick.

As of today there is still no time set for the game.

Just went to the UW website and found the information on ticket sales.

Single game tickets go on sale July 27 at 8:30AM Pacific time. Remember that your time will be 2 or 3 hours ahead depending on Central or Eastern time zones.

Reserved tickets are $70 and East End Bleachers are $35. Just a note on East End Bleachers - these seats are on the Lake Washington side of the stadium and it maybe windy and colder depending on the weather in September. It maybe turning cooler, but who knows.... it is March and it snowed here for 3 days!!!!

Tickets can be purchased online or by telephone. Go to www.gohuskies.com and click on the ticket button for the information. The online link and the telephone number are avaliable on the ticket page.

For Husky Stadium seating go to the Athletic Dept. button and click on Facilities. There are links for the different venues there. There are also links for driving directions at the top left of the venue site.

Hope this helps someone out. Sorry, I did not know how to link the ticket information up here.

As always,

I am sickened by the way your son was treated at school. No one should have to defend their apperance, school affliations, etc. It is reprehensiable how people will pick someone who is a little different in one way or another to bully and not be disciplined for it.

Tigerfan, I speak from experience. I am a person of small stature and was picked on all through high school (at that time I weighed about 80-90 lbs). I was called all sort of names, put into situations that were diffucult to get out of, but the thing that bothered me the most was that others would make fun of my features. I had not "grown into" my big blue eyes or full lips. I moved through school without getting into any physical altercations, but those days were not the easiest to go through. I never told my parents and would take everything on the chin and move on. I made it into adulthood with some scars, but I know that I did what I had to and I am a well adjusted person. Those years made me stronger, appreciate what was given to me, and more sensitive to what effects others. Fortunately, I have had the last laugh.... I have the blue eyes and full lips that most people are going to the cosmetic surgeon for these days.

I don't know if this will help your son's situation, but I think he has handled more than he is willing to disclose to you and this latest situation was just the one that "pushed his last button." He seems to be a strong, intelligent young man and someone I would be proud to call my friend. Let him wear his LSU clothing and other things to school. If he doesn't he will not be true to himself, which is the most important thing.
