Still a lot to learn or is it the Smarter than a 5th Grader show makes you realize what you forgot?!?! Mondays I watch House and Heroes. I understand Heroes is going off the air. Ticks me off I get into a show and it gets cancelled. Love Survivor and Amazing Race too. In fact some of us had a Survivor chat session like we have race chats here during the finale. Hope you have a great week. Getting ready to meet up with some Planet people in Indy next weekend. Would be more of us if Robby was going, but we can't have it all. Maybe another year.

The trip sounds wonderful less the wind. So glad you got to get away for a bit. It was sounding like all you did was work, work, work before this trip. Hope you got some good photos. Take a couple to work and get them out when the stress starts to raise its ugly head again so you can remember how nice it was to relax.
Have a great Thurs!! Hugs!

I hope you get lots and lots of well deserved rest!! Have a great time and let me know all about it when you get back. Love ya!

Now you know why I listen to MRN instead of the tv. MRN/PRN gives so much more in detail. It also makes it nice when you can't be in front of the tv to know what is going one too!

You are welcome sweetie!!

Happy Belated Birthday!!
Hope all of your birthday wishes came true!

Joke was funny but so close to being true about some parents and the way they scream at their kids. You know I am always hoping Robby does well in whatever racing he chooses to pursue. Great to be his fan as we have a variety of things to watch.

Trust me Joan I know how owner/driver points work. I will just send you a cut and paste I read this morning:
Top-35 in Owner Points and guaranteed a starting spot at Richmond:
Changes: #7-Gordon finished 20th at Talladega and is 34th and has a guaranteed spot at Richmond, #37-Gilliland drops to 36th, 2 points behind 35th, now #38-Conway
Hope it helps! Inside voice when Robby is doing well?? Is there such a thing?

I gotta correct my math Joan. Robby is 20 points ahead of the #38 who is now 35th in owner points (721 to 201) and 22 points ahead of the #37 who is now 36th in owner points (721 to 699). I had entered the wrong points for Robby...I shouldn't do this when I first wake up...lol.

The Target job is going pretty good. This week we are resetting the video game section with new fixtures (they started last night, I was at a Carrie Underwood concert), so we had our hours changed this week from 4am to 12:30pm (our normal hours) to 10:30pm to 7am. Send the WalMart joke via message on here (that way we don't offend any WalMart workers on here...lol).

Well Joan, the simple answer to your question is this. After Texas, Robby fell out of the Top 35 in Owner Points (by 1 point) because the #34 (who was 36th, 7 points behind Robby) led a lap and finished 2 spots ahead of Robby at Texas and Robby did not gain enough on the #37 to pass him.

Now, for this race at Talladega, the Owner Points on NASCAR.com has not been updated. They do not update the Owner Points until the Race Results become official. Once the Race Results become official, Robby will be listed 34th in Owner Points. He will be 6 points ahead of the #38 (707 to 701) and 8 points ahead of the #37 who is in 36th (707 to 699),

I am confused Joan as I thought Robby was now 34th in points.

It's Dega weekend!! Let's hope for a great race for Robby!!

You should have joined us in race chat here. Much more interesting race that way. Have a great evening!!

It was a good day in race chat here too. Gene did a great job as CC. Read his post here if you get a chance. It was nice having his insight.
Have a great week!

NO on the Robby book. I know where Salisbury is and I have been there several times. Not too far from me.
The real shame about mining is what some companies are doing to the beautiful enviroment. Look up Mountaintop mining to see what I mean.

Hey Joan. Yeah, I have been mia alot lately. Since April last year, things have been crazy...with a move to Ohio, looking for work, getting a job at Target and working weird hours during the holidays, then working the very early morning shift there. I just haven't had much time to get around to every site I used to go to. I did not know Robby has a book out...I have really been out of the loop here...lol. I might have to check it out. As for the #90 and #09 cars on my page, they are plastic model kits I built about 10 years or so ago. The #90 Publix Ford Thunderbird is Robby's 1991 Daytona 500 car...I kinda messed it up, but I still like it...might try making a diecast of it if I can find the decals again. The #09 Publix Ford Thunderbird is a fantasy scheme I did using the same decals and putting my name over the door.

Hey Joan! I can understand and even forgive some of the kids for not knowing about WV (depending on their age), but not grown adults and NOT newscasters. I am in the part of WV outside of DC. It is about an hour and a half away. VA and MD are about 10 minutes in either direction from me. The other day when the news was breaking about the miners, a DC newscaster on a major station said the mine collapsed in Western Virginia. Heard it repeated in other stories and articles too. The mine where the explosion is right below our state capitol too. How much more WV can you get?
Hope you have a great weekend and Robby has a great race. It would be nice to have something good to celebrate on Monday!

Change will come. Even SCORE will adapt to the situation. Mexico will benefit from more jobs.
