A Home Update from Jack & Doryann

Hi all,

Our house has finally been completed and set on the foundation! We are SO excited. Jack and I took some pictures today that we thought we would share with all of you. It only took them a matter of hours to go from a concrete hole in the ground to a fully assembled house. It was a truly amazing as it materialized before our eyes.

Follow the link below to view the pictures. We promise not to bore you all with the knitty gritty details as the construction progresses, but we thought this was a special occasion worth sharing with you all.

love,
doryann & Jack

The Man Rules

A little message from my husband...

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
FINALLY, the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear " the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the
ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever y ou have to say during
commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a
fruit We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like
nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an
answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared
to discuss such topics as baseball
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Van Halen 2007 Tour

Here are some terrible attempts to capture last night's Van Halen performance we went to at The Izod Center with Frankie and Dana. These videos were taken with my cell phone. Sorry, it was the best I could do.

Please help support my friend Anna's son, Jake, in some volunteer work he will be doing in the Dominican Republic.

TROOP 106

TEANECK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

TEANECK, NEW JERSEY 07666

October 2007

As part of my Eagle Scout Project and Community Service for Teaneck High School, I will be volunteering in the Dominican Republic from February 9-16, 2008,

I will be part of VHP (Volunteer Health Program), a group of Opthalmologists, Nurses & Eye Care Professionals who volunteer their time and services to those who are unable to afford medical eye care.

At this time I am collecting caps & visors to distribute to all while I'm there. Caps are an excellent way to protect ones eyes from the sun, & last longer than sunglasses.
If you have any caps or visors that you are no longer using, please donate them to a very worthy cause.

I will be paying for my own airfare and housing for the week ($460.00), as required by BSA Eagle Scout Project regulations. I am currently selling candy to raise money. Donations or candy purchases are greatly appreciated.

Please feel free to visit the VHP website:

Thank you very mich,
