I may be mistaken, but I think this one has been done before. Re: The Thresher I Googled it and found it to be a very interesting read. Memories of the tune have probably been overshadowed by the British Invasion.

As long as people need love, understanding and a sympathetic shoulder to cry on, there will need to be an ex-Way site.

Roy May I assume that when you ask "are you ready?" you are referring to the mental aspect and not so much the legal, paperwork considerations? Asking these questions and interacting around them is a valuable part of the readiness process. IMO.

I love music.-----All kinds-----------Always have. But, I have a special fondness for blues and harmonica oriented music. My avitar is a figurine(not one of those fancy schmantzy German ones) that someone who knows me very well gave me a few years ago. It's a kid sitting on a fence rail playing harmonica. On his left side is a hound dog with big floppy ears and wide open eyes looking up at him as he plays. My wife, also a "grad" but not a poster, took a picture of it and posted it for me. When I first saw it, I was surprised that it has an almost Norman Rockwell kind of feel to it. That's when my " grandchildren" started looking in over my shoulder and offering their own two cents. In case you haven't met them, they are Cletus(that's his name), Cleophus(he's the ornery one) and Clara Belle( that's short for Helen.) I suppose that, in a sense, my avitar is really a part of me that most people never see. Ha Ha-- My grandson Cletus( that's his name) just said, "Geepers, Grandpa Waysider, are you really gonna post that sappy junk?" Now, where do you suppose a modern day kid got a word like "sappy"?

annam Yep. Knew you were a "she" by the context of your posts. Now, this is surely off topic, but here's the scoop(pun intended) on the stretch the coffee thing. Many eons ago, Uncle Harry suggested we "stretch" our coffee by adding new grounds to yesterday's grounds and adding a pinch of salt to cut the bitter taste. It tasted like----well, I think you get the idea. So, long story made even longer, that's the history of the stretched coffee analogies. May I offer you a cup of joe as a peace offering? I swear it isn't the stretched variety! :)

I Worry Sometimes

:dance: :dance: :dance: Was that stretched enough?

I'll bet it still tastes better than "stretched" coffee! :B)

Hidden from the ages.

I shall wait with baited breath. ( That's when you eat a carrott and then breathe down a rabbit hole.) :)

MMMM! chicken------------Tastes a lot like rattlesnake! But speaking of old recipes, what about hassenfeffer(sp?)? It's an old German dish featuring rabbit and spaetzel. I loved it as a kid. Where would you even go to buy a cooking rabbit these days? p.s. Use only "farm" rabbit as wild rabbit tastes like-------------!

Huh??????

" I have not given up on the Law of Liberty one bit."---Dr. W W That's a good thing. I did not want you to give up on ANYTHING. I only wanted you to explain how you feel about it in your own words without a lot of jargon. Thank you for doing that in your last post.

I am always in awe of people who can produce visual art in any form. I can't even draw a stick figure without it breaking,

I've always liked Cosby's stories. I consider him to be more of a story teller than a joke teller. However, I can't say that I remember this show at all. Gee, I wonder if it might have coincided with that time in my life when I didn't own a T.V.? :unsure:

I don't really think it will ever disappear, even though I think it should. After all, the Flat Earth people are still around as are the Malthusians. Now, the Shakers had an interesting concept----- no procreation. :blink: That's seems to have had a less than desirable effect on bolstering their membership ranks.

We don't have any "snooty" cookware. I do have, however, a "chicken fryer" that belonged to my Grandmother. I'm sure it must be over 100 years old. It's a cast iron skillet with high sides and a lid. We don't use it much because you can't really put it in the dishwasher and you have to keep it "cured". But, boy oh boy, you can sure make some killer hunter style cacciatore in it! I like the way cast iron cooks but it is too high maintenance for every day meals.

Re: Cowgirl's question--------Eva Cassidy

WOW! A couple of those look just like The Way Of Ohio Limb HQ. ------------NOT!-------------------------------------------------- Anyhow, I'm not so sure the French would welcome an invasion of Swiss Chard. Is there a French word for Fellowlaborers?

A Les Paul for Fathers' Day!!! Come on over to Guitar Talk and tell us about it. Still thinking on the lyrics you posted. Sounds familiar.

Thought I would bring this one back up because the festival season is in full swing. This weekend I saw Deanna Bogart. What an extraordinary musician as well as an amazing entertainer. Ever see performers do the audience walk? Deanna took it to a whole new level. She danced with fans and even started a congo line, all the while continuing to blow really wicked saxophone. But wait, there's more. At one point, she disappeared but could still be heard due to the wireless mic. Everyone wondered where she went and then suddenly she appeared in the open, second story window of the bar across the street. As she made her way back to the stage, she encountered a member of a latin jazz band that had just finished a set on another stage.(Still blowing away on that sax.) He had one of those shaker percussion instruments and soon found himself up on stage as part of the song. Mind you, the music(or party) never missed a beat through this whole song. Lots more, but the question is: "Who've YOU seen/heard lately?"

Out There I consulted my thesaurus and discovered that the words "dream" and "fantasy" are not interchangable, at least not in this scenario.

Yeah, it was weird. Maybe it was Donnie Fug!t who taught it. Too long ago. You were supposed to do the whole meeting(minus the manifestations) You didn't have to say "let's turn to #---", but you were supposed to pray, sing, and teach just as if there was an audience. I remember the phrase, " Your responsibility is to hold forth The Word, God's responsibility is to give the increase." Luckily, I only had to do it a couple times because back in those days, there usually wasn't much problem filling the room with people who were looking for answers to life's problems. And, despite all the "good old days" memories we have, it was a time when the world was in major turmoil. What's that old song? Eve Of Destruction The Eastern world It is explodin' Violence flairin' Bullets loadin' And even the Jordan River Has bodies floatin' But you tell me Over and over again, my friend You don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.
