IS 99.999% SURE -- ENOUGH? Not for this mom.

Thai troops 'cross into Cambodia'

I was/am 99.999% sure Scott was joking. (see previous posting) However, I still lost sleep last night. That .0009% is to much. So I checked the BBC today and here is what I found. NOW I KNOW I WILL SHOOT HIM WHEN HE COMES HOME!

Thai soldiers have reportedly entered Cambodia near a disputed temple where the two sides briefly exchanged fire last year.

A spokesman for Cambodia's government said that about 100 troops had crossed the border.

A Thai border commander denied there had been any troop movements and said there had been no increase in tension.

Thailand and Cambodia both lay claim to the temple area. Despite several rounds of talks, a settlement remains elusive.

Soldiers from the two countries have been stationed in the area since the clashes in July last year......In Thailand feelings are running even higher; the government elected last December was already floundering under a combined assault by street demonstrators, unfavourable court verdicts and the parliamentary opposition.

Major Panic

Scott has always had a great sense of humor. I pray he is joking! I have asked several times where are you and here is the answer I received today. I think I will shoot him when he comes home! His reply:




Hello-
So we are in Cambodia...

We have been here for quite some time, and it looks like I will be staying quite a bit longer. You walk down the streetsand people shove propaganda in your hands, lots and lots of military... Tanks, men, guns it's like we walked into a war zone... Can't really take pictures... It's all very very sketchy.. There is a large rebellion going on here trying to overthrow the government that is not televised nationally because of corruption and focus on the middle east. The Khmer Rouge's Central Committee is trying to overthrow the People's Party of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

But the government needs to go.



So we have been staying at this one hostel the whole time and came to be very good friends with a Canadian man who has lived here for 14 years, he came here after he left the Canadian army. Anyway we told him that we were leaving in 2 days and he told us we wouldn't make the border because the revolution is going to happen and they will shut the borders down. He took us to a safe camp that was occupied by the freedom fighters. We have decided that we want to fight. We are excellent marksmen (thanks dad) and they will let us handle long range weapons, and be a safer distance from the action. The General told us he would give us officer's pay because having white Americans in the mix will boost morale, plus a signing bonus that should pay for a large part of our trip, it should all be over in a few days. It gives us an opportunity to make a difference, change Cambodia for the better, and help a great cause. If anything happens I love you all, don't worry I'll be fine.

Lucky for him I know he is joking! But... I don't think the email was funny!

Homework Solutions

Whats up with this? Three seperate blogs for one day? I must have a test, a paper, and misc other homework. Not to mention the paper work required for peer parenting...don't even get me started on that one! So... I try avoidance. I don't feel much better.






Next step...go buy treats and see if that will help me focus.

Am I now a new Grandma?

Shelly has a puppy to keep her busy while Garrett is busy with baseball. Does that make me a new Grandma?

And here's the happy family!
They are doing a great job of training the dog.

She already knows several tricks.

Where's Scott?

I hear from Scott ... at least a sentence or two and even get photos occassionally. I keep asking where are you?I get ... we had a great dive

And I get ...I claimed my own island

I have even heard I am on top of the bus.... (with 40 other people going 40 miles an hour! No, not in a seat, on a suitcase.)

But Scott, WHAT COUNTRY?

I am glad he is having a great time!

Schools

Everytime I look at a post I see the "profile" and "about me".... so here is a little about me.

I am attending 3 schools all at once. Yes Three. (I like to pay those fees.)

You might ask does that get confusing?

...I was confused when I was only going to one school so YES!

But the good news is this will be my last semester for a bachelors degree!

Modern technology has helped a lot!
I have satelite classes from USU.

On campus classes from Dixie (DSC).

and the The teacher comutes from SUU. (Cedar City)

There are a few of us older students. We like to get together after class.

the trip continues

Dang! Look at the water.... what am I doing here?

It would be easy to travel with just a back pack if I could throw on a bandana and a pair of shorts and look this good!
