  1. George, When I traveled to the seaports in Spain, there was Octopus under the glass counters at every sidewalk deli. It was all delicious. I'd love to help you figure out how to prepare it. My first stop would be down at the Public Library or the Pike Place seafood market and pick up some recipe books and some fresh tenticles and ingredients. Bon apetite mate. SlingShot

    Welcome

    Hey everybody AND PaW and Mr. BoB!!!!, Howdy and hello. This is a spiffy new site. I hope to frequent it more often. I've been busy with getting a new and better education thus my hiding from public view (besides having four kids who have suddenly discoverd the wonders of the internet and only one computer in the house. ~)(~) Whew. But hello again to everyone and welcome to Janis....I know your story all too well. Can somebody please pass the creamer? Thanks, SlingShot B)
  3. Whitedove, What a powerful post from Wade and Jones you placed above. I live in a town where there is literally a church on every corner and in which everyone is expected to belong to a certain church home. So far I haven't tossed myself or my children into the label game yet but Vacation Bible School is just around the corner. We'll see what this year churns up. Until then, SS
  4. First off, Happy Anniversary to you two: Steve and Cindy. Seems like just yesterday. But then again it's my fog and I'll enjoy it however I please. I'd love to come up and party but need to stay local this year. I will look for the chat room thingy going on like we did at the wedding reception from some place in Chicago. I miss you guys and think about you often. All of my love, Foggy
  5. Call me simple or whatever you want, but I had quite a bit of a good time of self discovery while in-residence. I really had no idea what to expect and having just finished living for four years in cramped quarters on different ships, I kinda enjoyed staying in one place for a while and having some really good food served up that I didn't have to cook or clean up after. And I too met some people who were real quality individuals. I always tended to shy away from the big personalities because I've never been one to want to compete. But all in all I never had to do anything unreasonable and I picked up a few job skills while I was at it. Anyone need their windows cleaned? LOL Love you all, Foggy
  6. SL, my love....I'd do anything to ease your pain. Anything! I had all four of mine taken out at once right before Living Victoriously and recouped on Mrs. Wierwilles couch with nothing for pain but Olbus Oil and clove Oil. I wanted to die right then and there. The Oral Surgeon sent me home with some pain meds but good old Seymore Leven the Shrink in charge of 3rd aid took them from me and probably used them for himself while I was in pure agony..""""Believing my pain away""""" what a bunch of horse pucky. Anyway, All of my love to you and yours my dearest. Yours for as long as God makes Fog. The Fognavigator
  7. Hey Donner!!! I want to tell you happy birthday too. Your friend always....Foggy
  8. Hiya EX10, Happy Birthday to you!!! I have not been on the forums for a long time and am so happy to catch you on your birthday. I wish you all the energy of a thousand playful kittens. I think you are a wonderful lady. I hope to catch you in the chat room soon. All of my love, Slingshot aka Fognavigator aka USCGMCPO from the old chat rooms.
  9. What a great group of wonderful people. and all without a keyboard in front of them.....imagine that. Maybe at the next weenie roast we could all go to a public library for an hour and chat and then come out and fellowship around it. That would be a blast. Oh well, maybe next year. Sorry Ala...didn't mean to abandon you in the chat room. Thanks for keeping the light on and the coffee warm and the half and half cold. Your dearest, SS
  10. allrighty now then.....just perhaps......well......let me think on it a bit.....anyone have floor space for a fog navigator?
  11. I can go for more than an entire day and be free of all the hidden implications, insinuations, and the unwritten bow's and courtsies of "appropriate behaviours," according to twi. I can now do things on a whim, without worrying about being anywhere for a meeting set-up or tear-down. Or worrying about missing this or that little itsy-bitsy detail on which my entire spiritual life hinges. That I'm allowed to be unpredictable, knowing that God loves me and that I do my best to show God's love to those I hang with. That I really can choose to live with no strings attached....especially the emotional ones that twi used to torment me with! SS
  12. Joan and I thank you ladies for the lovely things you have written to us. We are happy to have each of you as part of our lives. Joan especially loves the chat saga's that I share with her. Thanks again you wonderful ladies! SS
  13. 16 years ago today we were married in the back yard of PG & NL McS. on Pinellas Point in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was a full dress military wedding as I was on active duty and both of our fathers were retired Air Force officers. I set the time of our wedding to take place right at sunset, when the pastel colors of the wispy clouds are most pronounced in their oranges, pinks, yellows, and blues. Our backdrop was the western sky. 16 years ago today, Joan and I committed ourselves to each other, to live for God with each other, and to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. At this hour, 16 years ago today, we were making the rounds at the reception with grins on our faces and were ready to squeeze into my packed to the max Datsun B-210 Hatchback and sprint across Tampa Bay to spend our first night together at an Embassy Suites there enroute to honeymoon in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. But tonight, 16 years later, I am sitting in my nice comfortable home/office within minutes of the finest white sand beaches in all of the continential United States, enjoying the sounds of our four children playing and relaxing in the home that Joan and I have made for us and them. And I am feeling mighty content.....because she makes me feel that way. I believe that when I found Joan, I found THE best of my best friends. And now, I've typed long enough that by now, 16 years ago, we would be at the suite in Tampa and it's just about time for me to carry my Bride over the threshold of our honeymoon suite and ............. Come see our kids sometime, will ya?
  14. Slingshot's wife says..... No darn dirty dishes ! A clean living room I didn't have to tidy up to find my chair. One day of all my children NOT fighting, bickering and screeching(yes, I have four) The remote for the whole week. Dirty clothes in the hamper, clean ones in the drawers...this never happens! Chocolate fudge brownies and french vanilla coffee. a long hot bath ALONE. A word or two of thanks would be nice...after all, the services a mom provides her family are currently valued at $600,000+ and I've never received a paycheck, have you? A quiet house for long enough to call my mother, who is currently taking care of HER mother(88 and fragile) and actually be able to hear! I know it's alot to ask, but it only comes once a year!
  15. This quote by Mandii put into words something I have been trying to put my finger on for a long, long time. "I personally will always miss the sweet times of real friends that we had in TWI. But the cost of the amount of control over my life to have those fleeting moments is not something I would ever surrender to again. " Thank you Mandii for such a powerful choice of words! SS When I grow up I wanna be a catapult
