Do something you enjoy that day and have fun doing it. Happy Birthday to you Plotinus! Kathy

Mark, A few to add to yours: 6. She tripped over a cordless phone 7. She got stabbed in a shoot-out 8. She asked for a price at a Dollar Store 9. It takes her two hours to watch "60 Minutes" 10. She studied for a urine test - and failed 11. She sold the car for gas money 12. When she heard that 90% of all crimes occur around the home, she moved 13. When she went to the airport and saw a sign that said "Airport Left", she turned around and went home So Mark, do I sound blonde?

Paw, Sorry I been bugging you this week, never know what a person has on their plate do ya? But when time, please will ya respond to my last email. Kathy PS I am going to restart the S/O mag thread

My son just sent these to me, and I need a break from my anger type posting. Some too "whatever" to post, but here's the rest, trust they bring a smile or two. AR on vegetarians: Vegetarian - that's an old Indian word meaning "lousy hunter". On fabric softener: My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me, sniffing, then saying under their breath, "married" and walking away. Fabric softeners are how our wives mark their territory. We can take off the ring, but it's hard to get that April fresh scent out of our clothes. On Cripes: My wife's from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like "cripes", "for cripes sake". Who would that be "Jesus Cripes"? The son of "gosh" of the church of "holy moly"? I'm not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in "heck"? On grandma: My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says "sexy senior citizen". You don't want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Out entering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar bill she gave you for your birthday. Now if I can only find out who this Lorena chick is that has mariachi in her email address. See I was only copied on this email from him, she was the sent to. Kath

A blonde is driving down the street and she sees another blonde in the soybean field rowing her arms in a boat like she is in the water. She stops her car, gets out and yells to this blonde "you know it is blondes like you that give us a bad name", "if I knew how to swim I would come out there and kick your butt".

Happy Birthday Mark, Trust it was and is a great one for you. Love you, Kathy

My dear ex, If anyone should leave, it should be me. Don't go, I enjoy your heart very much, as we all do, no doubt. I just emailed Hope to tell her I was going to hang back and only read for awhile. So what the heck am I doing now? How do you do that? I believe it to be the best for me to do at this time. Any suggestions on how to read and not post, I mean I saw ex say she was leaving and bonggg, here I am with a post. In all honesty how do you just not post and only read? ex, don't go unless you feel best to do so. And did you let him out of your basement yet? If not maybe should, maybe he will kneel before his maker and get things righted, it could happen. Kathy

(Clapton's guitar cries ) It's three miles to the river. That would carry me away. Two miles to the dusty street. That I saw you on today. It's four miles to my lonely room. Where I will hide my face. And about a half a mile to the downtown bar. That I ran from in disgrace. Lord how long have I got to keep on running? Seven hours, seven days, seven years? All I know is since you've been gone. Feel like I'm drowning in a river, drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like I'm drowning. Drowning in a river of tears. (guitar cries ) Three more days till I leave this town. And disappear without a trace. A year from now maybe settle down. Where no one knows my face. I wish that I could hold you. One more time to ease the pain. But my times run out and I got to go. Got to run away again. Still I catch myself thinking. One day I'll find my way back here. You'll save me from drowning. Drowning in a river. Drowning in a river of tears. Drowning in a river. Feel like I'm drowning. Drowning in a river. Oh how long must it go on? (guitar cries ) Drowning in a river. Drowning in a river of tears.

A blonde goes into a sporting goods store where a shiny aluminum thermos caught her eye as the sun relfected off of it. She was mesmerized by its beauty. After asking the store clerk what it was and how you used it she purchased it. The next day she took it to work, and was so proud to show it off to her coworkers. She explained how it will keep things cold or hot. When asked what she had in it she replied "I have a cup of coffee and half of an icecream bar".

This blonde goes into the beauty shop to get her hair cut. She is wearing a walkman headset and will not take it off for her hair to be cut. The next visit she does the same, making it very difficult for the beautician to do a good job on the cut. The third time the beautician decides screw it, I am yanking those things off so I can cut her hair like it needs to be done. At which point the blonde falls to the floor and dies. The puzzled beautician kneels down and puts the headset to her ear to hear what this blonde was so protective of. She hears "breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out".

Told to me by a blonde. This blonde gets on a plane and sits down in first class. The ticket holder for that seat comes up and asks her to please get up. She refuses. Several attempts to convince her to move to her ticketed seating in coach and to no avail. Finally the flight attendant is approached by the co-pilot asking what the problem is, as they need to hit the taxi way now. The situation is explained to him. The co-pilot says "no problem, I am married to a blonde, I will handle this". He leans down and wispers something to her. To which she immediately gets up and heads to the coach area. Mumbling as she walks down the aisle, "well why didn't they tell me that in the first place". The co-pilot was asked "what did you say to her". He replied "I told her that this part of the plane wasn't going to New Jersey". Hope it gets a smile. Kathy (Paw, did I put this one in the correct place )

----just wanted to say-- Ron G, Are you a Clapton lover also? Kathy Steve, Yea cause I ain't a newbie anymore. Kathy

Happy Birthday (for 9/26) to ya Chris, Did you know that music man of yours was going to post your real name? How romantic for him to say you could fold his napkin anytime. I have Travis Tritt playing now, and his music would be good background for the folding. Sure love you NL, you are a dear friend to me. May your day be all you would ever want it to be. My deepest love to you, Kathy

Adios, Today's Navy a whole new challenge. The boys tell me the same, although from Army and AirForce understanding. One a foot soldier, one a plane mechanic, one in communications, all say the same as you stated. Born after Nam, you babe you NL's husband , Yes politicians and the cost of freedom is a deadly mix. Love Jacksons music, he is skilled at putting in into words, and I am more than eager to add to his fortune by purchasing his material. Grizzy, Always more to the story than we ever hear, I for one trust our military folks over the media or our government anyday. Guess I will have to go out and kill my own bear then but not with a handgun cause I can't hit the side of a wall with one. But a highpowered rifle with a "right" scope I am pretty darn good at. If I may say so myself. See ya, Kathy

Grizzy, I believe you are correct, I have thought him to be younger than us, but as I read him he appears to have meekness to learn from all us here. You are a great reality poster, I am sure he will learn from you. Kathy hey where is a bear I can put in my living room, have a nice corner spot for one

Mister P-Mosh, Have enjoyed posting with you since you came on board, looking forward to learning from you. Kathy

Mister P-Mosh, I take threads I start very personally, have tried to hijack Fresh's on occasion cause I didn't have the energy to care for my own. While speaking of him I would like to use him as an example of something. He didn't know he was gaining a friend when he first started posting in my threads, no doubt, but he did in me. And one of the things about him that is so cool is he allowed me to just "poor my heart" out recently in his thread, and then had the graciousness to tell me that I had not messed with his thread. I am tickled that you would have felt comfortable to share your heart in my thread, knowing you may be asking for some heated replies. A bit about me, I love music (that just pales in description), I live in music. I am very careful to post music because of it (well once messed up) but you can learn as much about me in what I post of music as you can in my words. So with that understanding this is why I chose this song as my tribute, so to speak, to my nephews. Not to celebrate Alan Jackson, but the words were awesome. If I could get my hubby to post to you it may help you in understanding the two of us in light of this topic. But he has moved away from gs and is quickly leaving twi thoughts as well. So I will speak for him. He was a corpsman (USN) during VietNam as a neuropsychiatric tech dealing with the men that returned from Nam totally screwed in their heads. Reason they were was because of the injustice they lived thru in Nam, they knew we had no business being there and they saw the innocent people killed for the sake of the kill in some instances. Then these men returned to nearly a bitter crowd, they had served and where spit upon because of it. Most without ever wanting to be there in the first place. My hubby gained something then, a distaste for politics in the guise of war. When 9/11 came upon us, he and I did not see eye to eye for a day of two. Reason being he felt it was all show and emotion and that soon it would fade away and folks would be back to the same ole, same ole. He loves our country, and has had a flag in the front for years, but actually took it down because he did not want to appear to be caught up in the hoorah. Now onto to me, I am totally ignorant of politics. What I know is this, I hate political correct thinking, I believe it to be the underbelly of apathy. It is third in line of my pet peeves, first being twi, second radio djs that cut off the end of the song. When this happened I felt it was a shot at folks waking up and realizing they have allowed this to happen. My hubby thought I was "pie in the sky" thinking. I believe we were both correct a year later. Cause it did open some eyes that were for the good, and it did die some in the hoorah. The only thing I am prejudice about in a person is self-imposed ignorance, never their nationality. Never. It is a terrible thing that innocent lives were lost both here in our country and in those across the ocean from us. We the USA allowed via our apathy for things in this country as well as across the ocean to be handled for us, just took it on faith we were being represented well and vice versa. My nephews have a fire in their hearts to not be complacent and just take the hand dealt them. They wanted to get in the mix, to understand what is at stake and to do all they could to make it a better country to defend. For this I admire and love them. They are not of the revenge thinking at all. But I assure you if one were to point a gun at them and intend to use it, they will be on the other side of theirs intending on using it first. So in this long*** reply I trust I have shared that I agree with all of you here today, but I also hold this is the greatest place on earth to live in and I am thankful some have opened their eyes and noticed it. And am sad for the loss of all lives that were innocent. Zealots are not confined to other countries either, it just happened these were. Kathy

Yes, I thought this song captured it as well. And while in twi we were told not to get caught up in it all, like we were not spiritually minded enough to weigh obsession and just common sense ability to grieve over such a day. But then those zealots foiled the almighty bunches direction of "each adv class grad win one". How dare those folks do such a thing. I mean even the day they chose to attack was in disrespect to twi. Kathy

I know this is not a Way forum item, but I am going to go for it here anyway. Correct me if you need to, I would understand. -------------------------------------------------- Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or workin' on some stage in LA Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin' against that blue sky Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below Did you burst out with pride for the red, white and blue And the heroes who died just doin' what they do Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was young Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day Teachin' a class full of innocent children Or driving down some cold interstate Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor In a crowded room did you feel alone Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her Did you dust off that Bible at home Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened Close your eyes and not go to sleep Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages Or speak to some stranger on the street Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow Go out and buy you a gun Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' And turn on I Love Lucy reruns Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers Stand in line and give your own blood Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family And thank God you had somebody to love And the greatest is love And the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day Alan Jackson -------------------------------------------------- In loving admiration for my nephews Timothy, Ryan and Daniel who all joined the armed forces after 9/11 so they could defend this country of ours. May God protect you and all those serving beside you tomorrow. I speak for my siblings who loved you boys more than their own breath, they would be so proud of you today. Your aunt Kathy

Yes he is still at hq, as of a few months ago. I only spoke to him a few minutes that trip but prior trips had asked him why no longer singing, said he needed a break, also was in a different dept, although I can not recall what it was. I use to work with him a little in Founders Hall when there was a need. He has a beautiful heart and voice.

Not sure if I have the correct person here, was he in the chorus for years? If it is the same person he is still at hq, was in the bookstore behind the counter when we were there for our region showing a few months ago.

Hi Firebee, I was missing you, glad to see your post. Kathy
