Miss me Yet??? ;)

[Ryan James]

Hey all!!

Thought I would pop and say Hello! I'm sorry for being so scarce on the forum these days, been busy with work at my 'new' job, Been there a month yesterday and love it!

Working at a place called Kuster's Dairy, and I work in the Cheese room where we take 40 pound blocks of all kinds of cheeses and shred, dice & slice them along with packaging and labeling them for different stores and restaurants.

Work with some cool people and a consider all of them my friends now! Perks of the job are, I get FREE ice cream everyday along with my choice of Chocolate or White milk! and were talking GOOD ice cream and I've lost count of how many flavors I've had and how many bowls of it I've consumed, gotta be well over 50 or 60 at least by now. Haha.

Several of you on Facebook have been asking if I'll be attending the reunion this year in Lynchburg, I'd like to YES! but looking for a way to get there, and as inexpensive as possible. the rest of my family hasn't shown any interest in going this year, with my sister's upcoming wedding next week, their minds have been occupied elsewhere.

and plans are for me to move out October 1st on my own, so if that happens, I'll need to conserve funds as much as possible. but I've always tried to remain the positive type and we'll see what happens! I'd love to see all of you again, I keep in touch with most of you on Facebook these days, but doesn't compare to actually chatting with you face to face!

I'll make it a habit to stop by here more often in the days ahead

That's great, Ryan! Sounds like a fun place to work!  It's good to hear from you!

The nursery rhyme version:

Little Miss Muffet
sat on a tuffet,
eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
who sat down beside her,
and frightened Miss Muffet away.

My version for Ryan:

Little Mister James
knew he was to blame,
when all the curds and whey
went down the drain;
All because while in the rain,
he was trying to gain,
through a lot of pain,
a celebrity's main name.

I cannot write poetry. LOL! Have you tried any curds & whey Ryan since you are now working in a dairy? It's cottage cheese by the way.

Haha! Kimberly! I love it! totally made my day right there! and yes, I've consumed a lot of cottage cheese over the years, that's one thing however, that we don't produce at the dairy though. but my family are all avid consumers of it. Michigan brand Cottage cheese is the best!

Thank you all for the comments too! I can't wait to see you all again at the Reunion.

My lame attempt:

Poor Mr. Ryan
Sat alone, cryin'
Eating a huge hunk of cheese.

The reason he cried?
Cause Chance, the cow, died.

And Reckless's fur made him sneeze.


BTW, your autograph collection is AWESOME!

[Ryan James]

Haha, well Thank you Steve! Awesome Poem! and thanks for the comment on my Autograph Collection, It's been one of the most exciting hobbies I've had!
