BTW, George, you've seen the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. "HEY, GRANDMA! That's an awful big nose for you. TO HAVE!" That was "Little Red Riding Rabbit."

"YOU'RE Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"

The second line is also from Dire Straits' "Heavy Fuel", but the first line is not. But I keep hearing the Dire Straits song when I try to name this one.

Neither FDR nor Franklin Pierce, although neither was from my lifetime. The lowest BMI was 20.9, and I've posted everything you need to know to figure out who it was without looking it up.

https://allpoetry.com/The-Bridge-Builder The Bridge Builder An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build you the bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him." Will Allen Dromgoole was a woman who was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She wrote over 7,500 poems, 5,000 essays, and published thirteen books.

I have a question about the content. I'm curious if they included the poem, "the Bridge Builder," by Ms Will Allen Dromgoole, and, if they did, did they include her name? I'm thinking they didn't include it, even though it was the reason they picked that name for the book. Personally, I quoted the poem once on the GSC, when someone asked why we post, warning about twi.

I picked the asbestos example for a reason, and I phrased myself rather specifically for that reason. I think you noticed.

8) Posting 5-15 minutes a day at most (sometimes less), and occasionally, some of those posts warn people away from twi, and that means that my life's goal is to warn people about twi. Well, judging from the amount of time spent, I must have a more important "life's goal" of having lunch every day, since I spend a lot more time eating lunch in a week than I do about twi in a week.

I had a friend who saw one of the planes hit the building. Was looking in the sky, watched the thing fly, and ram into the building. We spoke at length about it that evening. I was in NYC at that moment, but not at the Battery. So, call the eyewitness a liar if you wish.

Franklin Pierce?

That's interesting. I experience this a lot. I say something relevant to someone knowing ahead of time they have no grid for what I'm telling them. What else can you do? The Twin Towers were brought down with controlled demolition. Well, they were. And people just look at you like, 'yeah OK, whatever you say,'. You know that experience yourself in whatever context in your own life. That really did happen and when the twisting of the neurons of my brain is most intense there is no place to run and hide. I just have to think about something else. I'm sure it's that way for people with chronic pain. It's your body, you can't get in your car and get away from it. Hoping my deliverance is soon and what will the world be like 32 years after this happened? When I did go back to the Way after the Army, he was preaching this most dreadful, caustic stuff. Then I'd see someone on campus and they'd look at me and say, 'wasn't that an awesome teaching?'. No! No, that wasn't awesome! That was angry, bitter and terrible. People were...spellbound...

Joyful Sound...this reminded me of one time in-Rez at Indiana Campus...LCM was visiting and sharing stuff in Campus Chapel...as he was speaking he looked down and played with a jade ? bracelet around his wrist...I immediately felt nauseous and close to passing out...I closed my eyes and s.i.t. until the feeling had gone....LCM certainly wielded some type of spiritual 'power'...so yes, I know EXACTLY what you are saying !!

Yellow Submarine Woke up this morning, my head was so bad The worst hangover that I ever had

If your mission in life is to help people avoid the Way, what's that to me? If you also need to steer people away from faith? What? I don't care all that much. The only things warm and fuzzy I've gotten in awhile are the names of some songs and artists. And, I'm happy about that. I'm taking what's good and letting everything else go Be happy, that's my wish for everybody.

"In a town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea"

She's only allowed to sing on her birthday. Hmmmm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCPBfEJ3tpA

I've been run down I've been lied to And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool She took all my money Wrecked my new car Now she's with one of my good time buddies They're drinkin' in some crosstown bar.

Geeze. A couple years ago, I was told I'm bitter. Now I'm hateful. What's next, grumpy old fart?...Oh, wait a minute..

Do joyful souls generally project hate?

She taught music in Colorado.

Oh, I'm sure. Stevie Nicks extracted everything she could out of just being hot. I'm no one to ask but for me it worked just great. Not lying, I'm tapping my toes to a song about a witch.

Her voice was much purer and controlled than Stevie Nicks. (in my opinion)

LOL!

In 3 part harmony!

Great! Thanks! How'd she fade into obscurity and not end up in Nashville? Funny, now that I think about it, the Jesus Stevie Nicks. LOL
