5 things

O.K. My lovely wife Carole did a thing on her blog about 25 random things. Well I was thinking about that and thought I would do one, but everyone is doing that. So I thought of something.

It's 5 thing I don't want to here from my 12 year old daughter until she's 24 and married

5 Dad I'm done with school

4 Dad I'm moving out

3 Dad I need pads

2 Dad that boy is smokin hot (unless he is on fire)

and this is the most important thing of all

1 Dad I'm pregnant

Thank you Ethiopia

Africa

the cook (forgot her name) Carole, Johnny, Abel and me at the quest house

1 dollar a day would feed a family. O.K. when I would see those commercials on T.V. about Ethiopia. I thought that was a load of crap. There's no-way you could do that. those people in that commercial are trying to rip us off and take my money. Then I went there to pick up our 6 year old son that we adopted and was I wrong. Not only will that feed a family that also will buy you a bag of the best coffee in the world(and I hate coffee but I drank it there), a can of Coca-Cola, a pack of gum (from the street kids), and still have some change left over.
When I was there we stayed at a Guest House (like a Bed and Breakfast here) and I talked to the night desk worker a lot. His name was Johnny and he had just graduated from University with a degree in business. Very smart and nice man. We talked about his country and my country. He asked if there were poor people in America and was shocked when I told him yes. He thought all Americans were rich. I asked him what a construction worker makes and he told me around 800 bir a month ($80). There was a lot of construction work going on in the city. He also said that it was hard to find a good job there and that why he was working at the Guest House. (I think he was a Angle from God sent there for us.) He helped us out so much by telling us what the kids were saying,took us to a shop to get a back-pack when mine broke and would not let us carry anything no matter how hard I tried to get it from him. I gave him my Steeler's hat that I brought with us and he would not stop saying thank you every time I would see him he would have it on.
I have so much more to say but words would do it no Justise
Thanks for all your prayer
Dean

Steele's first LSU game

And it was a first for our entire family to go together.

Mr Rolfe's (Daddy Rolfe/Pastor )

Tara, Rolfe’s secretary sent this to Dan so I stole it.

The way Rolfe is explaining the broken arm to the folks at the business report. thought y’all’d enjoy it:
Top 10 Explanations for the Broken Arm:

10. Chronic Blackberry overuse weakened the bones, and when the flight reached altitude of 35,000 feet it spontaneously fractured.

9. Snapped during a safari tour by a local Swazilander who kept hitting him in the arm in the exact same spot repeatedly and asking ‘Huh? Tigaz! Huh? Lions! Huh? Rhinocerous! Huh?’

8. Attacked by a crocodile after getting too close and taunting, “Tiger bait! Tiger bait!”

7. It was crushed when cargo shifted on the plane – apparently he stacked too many boxes of “Our Way” leaflets to distribute to villagers.

6. Tussled with local activists after suggesting he could do a better job running their believeInSwaziland.org web site.

5. Let’s just say the McCollister driving style is not as effective when weaving through hundreds of pedestrians and hippos.

4. Tried to take his signature ‘Moon Walk’ to another level by walking on his hands.

3. Broke it after he triggered a brawl when he offered local tribal chiefton an ill-advised food offering of his mom’s homemade “White Trash."

2. It’s not actually broken—it’s merely a so-called “Mule cast” to conceal contraband.

And the number 1 explanation:

Tara, astounded he somehow managed to get his Blackberry to work from the jungle, hired a Swazi warrior hit man to “please, for the love of all that is good, break his Blackberry hand.”

Pretty Boy

O.K. When I saw who was going on this trip I thought "oh great a bunch of teenagers that we are gonna have to watch this whole trip". Boy was I wrong about that. We had no problems at all with anybody.Think about this there were 30 people ages 15 to Rolf (LOL-Don't know how old Rolf is). And there were no fights, no getting on any buddies nerves. Now if that's not God I don't now what is.


This is Rolf..

All the teenagers were great for teenagers. they never complained about anything they were told to do. They loved on some baby's and were just great.

Now one of the teenage boy stood out to me more then the others and that was Paul (The pretty boy) Musso. He was on my team for the basketball camps.



First let me tell you why I gave him the nickname. It was the 2nd day of camps and we were going to have tea with the Principal and Teachers of the school. I was the last one to go up and some of the kids asked me to sign their wrist bands that we gave out. So as I was signing one girl looked at me and said "can you give this to Paul (handing me her wrist ban) and have him sign it for me?" so I took it and then she said "oh and have him kiss it". So like any grown 35 year old man would do I gave it back to her and said "I will go get him for you". Then I went inside and told everyone. Paul went out and the girls (by this time there were more of them) went CRAZY (like the old video of the Beatles) They chased him around screaming. Even the kids at the care points looked at him different. We also heard some of the girls at the school walking back to there class saying that Paul had shook there hands and they were not going to wash them.



Some of the kids from the school.



Paul in blue holding the basketball..



Paul in blue in the middle of the group.

He's not only pretty but he's a great kid. I'm glad he was on my team and I got to know him better.

Africa day 2

We are having so much fun here. We did our 2nd day of camps and had a great turn out. The kids just love us and had us sign there shirts and wristbands, then they signed our shirts.

Swaziland reminds me of Ohio, the landscape and the weather.

More Later.

Africa

O.K. We made it to Africa and had a very great day of b-ball with the kids. The only bad thing so far is I have not been able to talk to my lovely wife and kids yet. But that will come soon. I will post some pics later.Right now we are at the Children's Cup Office getting ready for church. will write more later.

Dream center ASAP field trip

O.K. Yesterday I got to go to the very first field trip for the A.S.A.P. program. We went to the Louisiana Arts and Science Museum. We took around 26 kids and we had a pretty good time for taking a bunch of kids from the "hood" to an Art Gallery. We got to see a movie called "Hurricane on the Bayou" and that was cool. We ate Chick-Fil-a on the leavee.

Craig said when they told us we could not touch the art work that he wanted to, so how are we gonna stop theses kids? BUT A lady that worked at the museum said these kids were better then a lot of other kids that come through there on school field trips.

Give it up for the ASAP kids!!


The bus ride..



Lunch on the leavee...


Tashian and Robert posing..

But the best thing that happened was before we left Winbourne.

When E and I pulled up to the Dream center at 9:45am most of the kids where already there and they didn't need to be there until 10:30am. E and I started talking to them and someone said that Jordon was walking down the street. (Jordan and Karon along with Kayron's brother Dominique were in a fight last week at After school)

I looked at Kayron and his brother and said "are you guys cool?"

Kayron looked up at me with his big eyes and said "You know the bible says that you have to forgive so I forgave him"

and I said "thats right" (thinking we got to him)

then he said this "Now, I'm still gonna beat him up but I forgive him."


That's Kayron, you got to love him.

gotta go.

Evangeline is NOT bathing so I can go to Africa

NOT bathing for Africa


This is me, Evangeline Turner all clean by Africa cookies and an Africa cake I made.

Soon I will not be clean and it will be for a good cause.


Because my dad, Dean Turner is going to Swaziland Africa on a missions trip with Sports Ministry to help the new HPC Campus get set up there.

They help Orphans there through that campus and Children's Cup. I love all the Orphans in the whole world and I want to help them so now I can do that through my dad going there to help.

My dad needs $3800.00 to do it.

SO I have decided to ask YOU to sponsor me NOT to bath!

That's right. I am gonna stink!

If you go to HPC you will remember that I got $45.00 for not bathing for three days and especially for not bathing after I was baptised in the duck-poop filled pond behind HPC.

Click HERE to read all about that on my moms blog.

After that we were talking to Pastor Johnny Green about it and he said I should use that as a fund raiser. I think he was just joking But we all thought that was a good idea.

So, I figured I could ride that "she's the girl that didn't bath" fame and use it to raise money for my dad to go on this missions trip.

I think Jesus would really like this idea, I hope He is happy with it and I hope he gets YOU to sponsor me.

This is how it will go;

Sunday March 16th I will take a shower and get all clean,

He has to have $1200.00 by April 15th (then I can bathe)
then $1000.00 by May 6th ( I will get to bathe again)
and another $1300.00 by June 10th (I will go back to bathing again)

So, you could like sponsor me for $1.00 a day, or $100.00 a day or just one amount for that time. Which ever you want.

Get it? Kinda confusing but like a game.

I could get really stinky. There will be 30 days between March 16th and April 15th, 21 days between that and May 6th and 35 days between that and June 10th!!! That's a long time not to bathe. Good thing I am home schooled and my mom can't smell. Bad thing for the people I sit by at Pathfinders and Old school.

My mom said after a couple weeks people will be throwing money at me TO bathe :-)

You know we just found out that my new brother Abel that we are adopting from Ethiopia, never even saw a bar of soap until he got to the foster home and he has still never used a toothe brush, so I will be able to kinda relate to him a little bit.

I just pray you will want to help me too and sponsor me NOT to bathe.

So E-mail me and let me know how many days, and the amount of sponsorship I can put you down for.

I will also be telling you all about my experience not bathing on my blog @

lilstinkye.blogspot.com

I will go ahead and thank you now for helping and tell you God bless you.

Love (soon to be) Lil Stinky E

YES!!!!!!!!

National Champs....................

I sat at home and watched by myself. The only thing that would have been better is to see the look on my Ohio St. family's faces when the game ended.

Its Time

O.K. Its 5am going to work and the day will take forever.
We have 14 hours in till kick off and I think that LSU is gonna.......

WIN!!!!!!!!

Happy New Years

O.K. I hope everybody has had a great New Years so far. Mine has been great. The family and I stayed at home on New Years Day. Didn't go anywhere. Just like Christmas Day. Here are some pic from Christmas Day feast we had. E and I did most of the cooking.

Everything turned out great as you can tell by this last pic.

On New Years Eve we went to our friend house and shot off some fireworks and played a mean game of Texas Hold em'

It came down to me and the card playing expert.

That right the lady that can't get in any Casino in Vegas.

That because she's only 9 years old...



That her talking to her daddy. Do you see who has all the chips? Its not me.

Merry Christmas





To all 5 people that read this Blog. I hope you had a great day
From The Steel Tiger.


God bless you all.

LSU Pimp Nation

My sister sent me this...

My poor daughter had to wear this awful cheerleading outfit when she was a baby just to make her Aunt Terry happy....

..We almost got arrested for child abuse.

How sweet it is

O.K. When I went to bed Sat. night I knew that LSU was gonna play in New Orleans in Jan. But I never thought in would be the last game of the 2007 season for all the marbles. Better yet it's against the team that I have not liked most of my life.

I grew up in Ohio and I was a Michigan fan. Every year we would watch the Ohio State -Michigan game. My dad and I would route for The Big Blue-Michigan and my brothers and mother would route for the other team (that's what we called them).

Then when I moved to Louisiana and went to my first LSU game, against Auburn, I sat in the student section and LSU won the game in the last seconds. The place went crazy. From that point on I was a LSU fan.

My mother and brothers are still Ohio State fans. My dad still routes for Michigan, but he has a lot of LSU shirts and stuff from when he comes to visit. And he says he watches the games on T.V. So he will soon be a LSU fan.

Miles: I will stay at LSU

Funny stuff

O.K. Another friend sent me this stuff.

Just fitting in.

O.K. A friend sent me this and I thought it was funny. So I thought I would pass it a long.

Cooled from Ohio

O.K. I'm in Ohio and it's cold and wet. It's gonna snow later they say. Right now I'm at my sisters house watching the Ohio St. -Michigan game. This morning we went to eat at the Cracker Barrel and I saw this older man with all kinds of Ohio State stuff on walk to me and looking at all my LSU stuff I had on. So I was ready to let him know how much better we are then they are. But he came up to me and said you guy should be #1 and that he hopes that they don't play us in the Championship game cuz we would kill them. I looked at him and said Thank You.
Now the reason I in Ohio is that my step mother bought me a airline ticket to come up here for a surprise my dad for his birthday and she was having a party for him. Right now he does not know I'm here. We are gonna surprise him at the party. I will let you know how it goes later now we gotta talk some LSU football. I think that LSU will win and win big. They out match the Old Miss Redels big time and in the past they always play LSU very tuff, but not this time
My score is LSU 56 Old Miss 9

Bama and the God of Football

O.K. This is probably one of the most anticipated games of the season for every Tiger fan. From the time that Sabin told the world that he was going to Bama on Jan. 3 2007. Now I don't think he was the God of football by no means. But he was a key part of getting LSU to where they are today. He got alot of stuff done like new workout facility and a 2 new upper decks to Tiger Stadium. Plus he won the BCS National Championship in 2003. And the most important thing to me is he brought back the Eye Of The Tiger to the center of the field. Now there's some cool stuff in this months 225 the magazine about the two coaches.

I think that LSU will win the game and they will look like the team that beat Va Tech. More QB sacks and Int's. I think that they will rush the ball very well and have a total offence of 489yrds. The score will be 38 LSU Bama 17.

LSU Bama 2007 - In the Air Tonight

Hope

O.K. This will be short. It's 6:30 in the morning on sat. and E and I are going to The Baton Rouge Dreamcenter Winbourne. To help clean up. I will tell you more on that later.

Now to the game tonight I think that LSU will beat Auburn and beat them good. LSU had a bad game last week and will be ready to play. Cox will meet the ground in Tiger Stadium a few times and the defence will score tonight.

LSU 34

Auburn 10

Wake up call.

O.K. LSU lost and I was upset for a little bit. And then I got over it. The Wildcats were a better team and I think that Woodson should really be the top runner for the Heisman Trophy. He looked great. Was not scared of the defence. I think that LSU should have blitzed a little more but I'm not the Coach's and they may know a little more than I do about football. That's what they do for a living.
Cal also lost and that's the first time that the top two teams lost on the same day since 1996. I think that LSU will go down to maybe 5th or 6th and this will not hurt them to bad. The wildcat were ranked #17 in the polls and they will probably go to #14 or 13th. I hope that they win out and make it to the SEC Camp. Game and that LSU gets a rematch. Because LSU will win the rest of there game. This just may be the wake up call that they needed.

Tigers and Gators

O.K. #1 LSU Tigers plays the Florida Gators this Sat. night in Death Valley and the chance of rain NEVER.

I think that this is gonna be the the most challenging game that LSU and the Gators will have all year. I know that the Gators lost last week to the Alburn Tigers but I think that the play calling for the Gators was bad and that they were looking ahead to the Tigers of LSU. The Alburn Tigers had not played well in till that game. The LSU Tigers had the worst 1st half of a football game that I can remember against the Green Wave. But they stepped it up in the 2nd.

Game Day is gonna be here again for the 2nd time this year. I don't remember them ever going to the same place twice in one year. So I think that everyone knows that this is a big game. They may meet in the SEC Championship and the winner going on the the BCS National Championship Game in The SuperDome.

O.K. here goes nothing I think that LSU will win the game and that they will knock T-Bo out of the game in the 3rd quarter. The defence will score a touchdown and I think that Holiday will return a kickoff for one.

Tigers 34

Gators 20
