Yes.

When I turned 12 my mom threw a surprise party for me. We had moved to New Mexico that year, and lived in a trailer...I don't think it was big enough to be classified a mobile home. She told me that it was too small to have a birthday party in. But she managed somehow, and all my friends from the trailer park were there. I was VERY surprised.

When I was sixteen, my best friend lived in a house with a really neat basement. When we were kids, her mom was our Girl Scout leader and we used to meet down there. As we grew older, we hung out there, and did our homework there, and played countless games of "Finch"...so when she called and asked me to come over, I thought nothing of it. But when I got to the house, the little boy next door says, "Hey! You're late! Everybody else got here a while ago." Darn Kid...spilled the beans! But I was surprised that all my friends had gone to so much trouble on my behalf. They even made me my favorite cake, yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

Then when I decided to leave my supervisor position to spend more time with my family, I had to take my replacement on a tour of the district to help her in the transition. This was a week long tour of five states, and about a gazillion miles. When I got home I was exhausted. Totally spent, physically and emotionally having just said my good byes to a great bunch of folks.

I laid on the bed and told hubby that I was just going to stay right there and not move until morning. Hubby says, "I think we should celebrate. Let's go out to dinner!"

I looked at him like he was nuts. I had just been "Out to dinner" for the last five days, and I was bone tired.

No way could he convince me to get up and get dressed. Finally, exasperated...he said, "Look there are a bunch of people wanting to do something nice for you...and you are going dammit. Now get dressed."

Me still not getting it...said, "All right but I am NOT wearing panty hose!

So I wore khaki walking shorts, a striped shirt, and Reeboks...and ended up at one of the fanciest restaurants in town. I'm surprised they let me in dressed so casually.

There were all of my managers of all of my stores, some who had driven as much as seven hours to be there and a group had to go so far as to get a motel and spend the night.

You can't even imagine my surprise. I had just spent the last five days saying good bye to these people! It was without a doubt the most amazing send off. I was not only surprised...but deeply touched.

M*A*S*H or China Beach

Also there used to be a daytime show on the Family channel called "Home & Family" hosted by Christina Ferrare and Michael Berger. I really miss those folks.

MAXIMUM BOB
BROTHERHOOD OF POLAND, NEW HAMPSHIRE

and i hope to heaven, i'm wrong, but watch abc totally cancel "invasion", rather than replacing it for 6 weeks with "evidence"....sigh. why can't they air "evidence" in the space where they currently have "dancing with the stars" on friday night? i loved watching "lost" and "invasion" right in a row. two of the best shows....
