f-m kids arrested
don't know how many of you have seen it, but a bunch of seniors from f-m have been arrested on felony charges. i guess they broke into the school computer system, and got into teacher records, health records, and also changed marks, gpas and cheated on sats, etc. they are suspended now, and the hearings on them are beginning. i think a couple of graduates have also been arrested. been all over the papers here.
Well everything appears to be getting better and a big thank you to those of you who have sent items in. Don't stop and if you know anyone who is having problems let me know and I will do all I can to help. Also.....if you scroll all the way down to the bottom, you can drill into "older posts" and view earlier comments. And... as you read, others may comment, you can view the comments under each post. Keep on bloggin............

Forced to post!
It seems that technology has forced me to post, rather than just reading what the rest of you are saying. I was looking forward to reading what all of you have been doing without revealing that now that I am retired I pretty much play all day. I already had Blogger and Google accounts because I started a blog or two.When I logged in to the FM Blog, I appeared as "Sharon In the Kitchen" even though I would rather have been Sharon Nottingham for this. So now I am embarrassed that you can all see that although half a century has passed since high school, I still begin lots of things and then lose interest and move on to something else.
I started a blog for vegan recipes after we adopted a vegan diet a few years ago. Then I started a book review blog for the reviews I was writing for the Liverpool Public Library. Then I started a travel blog for the trip we will be taking in January. And then I stopped blogging until now.
Of course I remember you John Winter. If I had met you last week, who knows? But I remember you from fifth grade. Were you also in Miss Stack's class?
I was back in Manlius last week for a happy family event. My sister, my mother and Jerry's children and grandchildren still live in the F-M area so I visit a few times a year. There were still beautiful red, yellow and orange leaves on the trees, but no one had their heat turned on! It was colder inside the house than outdoors. Of course, if I still lived there, I would not have the heat turned on either.
This was easy to do, so I hope the rest of you will try it and tell us what you are doing.
Thank you Kerry for starting this blog.

A.A.A.D.D.
A. A. A. D. D.
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. – Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.
This is how it manifests itself:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my car needs washing.
As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the rubbish bin under the table, and notice that the bin is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the rubbish first.
But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of coke that I had been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the coke, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye: they need to be watered.
I place the coke down on the work surface, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the work top, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone has left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when I go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the lounge where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
The car isn't washed
The bills aren't paid
There is a warm can of coke sitting on the work surface
The flowers don't have enough water
There is still only one check in my check book
I can't find the remote
I can't find my glasses and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.
PS. I just remembered, I left the water running………………………………..

Do you remember me? I attended Fayetteville and F-M schools with y'all from 1952-1961, but left for bording school in the middle of our junior year. I claim honorary membership with the class of '62 for my 9 years service. I eventually graduated from Syracuse on the five year plan, joined the Syracuse Police Department and retired as a Captain in 1991. We moved to Florida, I worked in probation down here, and now I'm adjusting to retirement with three kids, two grand kids, and a dog. Life is good.
