I might consider forgiving them if they would first say something like----"I'm Sorry!"

This is kinda off topic but here goes. Along time ago, in a galaxy that's real, real close, I worked for a temp. labor service. It seems that "real" jobs conflicted with class schedules and twig schedules and-----Awww, you get the picture. So, anyway, I go to pick up my first weekly payout(cash only) and the the guy behind the bullet proof glass hands me a pay statement that shows a fee to the union , a fee to the company, etc., etc. My total pay after all the deductions was something like a buck two eighty. The guy looks me straight in the eye, smiles and says, " Have a nice weekend. Well, maybe I was tired or maybe I was frustrated but it just struck me as being completely hysterical that this guy would wish me a "nice weekend" when he was fully aware that I had just worked my butt off for 40 hours and was walking away with only a buck two eighty to show for it. I just couldn't stop laughing so I took my money and left. I guess that was something he said to everybody without thinking about the context. I don't let it bother me when someone says "GD this!" or "JC that" or "OH MY God!". But when they say "Have a nice weekend", look out, buddy 'cause I've got my buck two eighty and I'm roarin' to clown!

"It don't make me no never mind." ( Can I say that here?)

When your co-worker complains that they have taken 4 aspirin and their headache still won't go away, just smile politely and say, "That's why I use heroin."

Some Scotty Bratcher for ChattyKathy

Too high tech. for me. I prefer a Sharpie and a steady hand.

Jonny I couldn't figger the difference between skit and sketch either so's I asked my grandson Cleophus(he's the ornery one). "Geeze, Grandpa Waysider", he said, "skit is what ya say to an old dog what's got more fleas than the number of geetar pickin' wannabes in Nashville." "You know--- Skit, you old varmint!" "'course, sometimes people say that to the geetar pickin' wannabes too." "And that's where the sketch comes in. Ya see, iffen ya sketch a pitcher of a mangy old hound and then sketch one of a geetar pickin' wannabe, the difference becomes quite oblivious." Hope that wasn't too sketchy but I'm runnin' outa time and I gotta skit. (Just makes ya wonder where these young 'uns hear this stuff.)

SHHHHH! Keep it under your hat! Can moose wear hats? I'm just askin'.

" How much money do you make in one year?" Well, now, that's all relative to how many mechanical difficulties I encounter with the printing press. ;)

I wonder who is going to serve the papers

OMG!!

The Last Handgun On Earth

Say! This breakfast looks really "familia". HeeHeeHee. Remember wheat berries? What in Heaven's name were those things, anyway? Sorry. That was off topic. Back to the topic of fairies.

"Explicate" In all my life, I had never heard that word before, So, I looked it up and find myself now wanting to make it part of my regular vocabulary. Sorry, I guess that has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Back to "newbies, etc."

Still nothing. Gonna disqualify myself and giggle it.

I did a google search and could not find it. (Not that my search skills are all that good) If I can find a copy in my old books, I'll post the author.

Maxx has been one mighty lucky dog to have found a home with people who have shown him the love that you have. Y'all are in my prayers.

Part 2

Head 'em off at the past----part 1

I took the AC in 1973. I don't remember taking any special exam. Of course, I don't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday either. If I did take it, it must not have made a very big impression on me. We did have to complete the home studies and there was a long list of classes that had to be completed before acceptance. There was also a questionnaire that had to be completed. I don't recall the contents. There was a seperate table at the bookstore, during the AC, where all the non-Way materials, such as Angels Of Light, were sold. For a while, these books were also available in the branch bookstore(Cleveland) but only available to AC grads. The purpose of reading the book was to encourage the reader not to have any involvement with anything "spiritual" no matter how good it appeared to be. In other words, if you didn't hear it from TWI, it's probably "from the pit". That was a popular expression used to describe activities that appeared wholesome, but, supposedly, were rooted in devil spirits. "Devil spirits that do good works" would be another way to put it.
