AdiosMiCorazon

You look so wholesome. Like you bake cookies and cakes with your pearls on.

I went into a private topic you started. I don't know whether or not I was invited. I was able to post a message.

Of course, I know I am on everyones "must have at my private topic" list.

A friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside.

The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!"

My friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor."

Pastor questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and Easter?"

He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service.

Thanks Sudo I just love that joke.

Did you hear in the news last night, that a guy living in Florida got his finger run over by a car and died instantly?

Of course, he had his finger up his nose.

I just got HBO again last year and caught an episode of Sex and the City and I am an addict. I rented the first three episodes so I can catch up. I have not ventured towards the other shows yet. I do want to catch a few episodes of six feet under and then slowly work my way to the Sopranos, etc.

I must start a thread for my adopted home state. I moved there when I was a little girl. Went to College in Worcester (pronounced Wuztar or Wuzter but not worchester or wurster the "r" is silent ) got "witnessed" to then. I actually had fun at first...that is until...I went WOW!

Does any one remember those patches and bumper stickers that said "making the bay state the way state?" Yuck! it pained me to write that.

Sudo,

I thought the same thing. When I gave you a one star and your thread rating went way down, I thought this can be an easy tool for those with a mean streak.

I am glad we like each other or else it would have been another episode of GS boxing. Virtual Adios against virtual Sudo. hmmmmm not a bad idea.

I was sent WOW to Tempe in 1987-88 or was it 86-87 (Mandii help ask your hubby when we went WOW. It is a blur to me!). When I arrived, I thought Dear God, what did I do to deserve this?!!!

I grew up mostly in New England and even in the hottest days there is always and nice wind that would blow a gentle breeze and give you hope. I remember thinking to myself when I arrived "Geez I hope the wind would blow a breeze in my face" Well I got my wish the breeze blew and I thought my face had melted. Then I knew I was in HELL!

Even with all that heat, I lived there for five years. Well should I say I lived in my house for five years. Ventured out only at night and those few months of "winter"

Sorry to hear about those wildfires sirguessalot! It sounds scary.

Don't listen to Geo. Women are like wine, we get better with age!

Congratulations on your sons marriage.

Sounds like a wonderful way to spend your birthday.

I have been very busy so, I printed your original post so that I could read it when I got a chance.

I am sorry for what you and your son had to go through. What a bunch of nasty people.

I was amazed at the fact that you wanted to go back. It was so honest and so heart wrenching. I remember feeling that way about TWI once. I thought it was the best thing in the world.

I am glad to hear that you are living well now.

Welcome to GS. Can I buy you some coffee?

My college roommate was from there.

ah 1986 seems so long ago. I remember going to a limb meeting .....can't remember where Ralph D. was teaching and it was so much fun. Everyone was still lighthearted and loving. At least that was my experience.

If I learned nothing else from this place. I know TWI is a difference experience for everybody.

Happy Birthday dear friend.

You are so precious and I am glad to you know you.

Lots of love,

Me

Thank you all so much for your replies.

Sudo, I checked with hubby and it is definately Memphis and not that other place. We have heard horror stories of that other place.

I live in and artsie city area that I just love and I am excited that Memphis is such a town. I totally forgot about Graceland. (thanks for the link Excathedra) I always wanted to go there. Elvis was my Mom's first love. (not in real life she lived in Puerto Rico, he lived in Germany...sigh...Oceans apart)

Memphis is hubby's second option if he does not get his first. I can't tell you what his first is. I can tell you that I will not see him for a year. ! So I am hoping for Memphis.

At any rate, we might have to go Memphis to pick up his orders. If we do, we should all meet! I would love to eat some Tenn. Barbeque.

Ahat, you are not derailing this thread. I enjoyed you and Sudo's conversation. I hope you all get to meet soon.

Thanks for your memories Ex10.

Anyone want to add anything else?

****largest hispanic community...Yippie...I can have a chance to speak Spanish. If you do not use it you lose it.

Due to a mixup on Grammy night, Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are forced to share a private jet in order to arrive in time for the ceremony.

Once up in the air, Madonna pulls out a $1000 bill and says, "I'm going to throw this $1000 bill out the window and make someone down below very happy."

Not to be outdone, Britney rips a $1000 bill in half and throws it out the window, saying, "Look, I just made two people really happy."

Not even noticing Britney's stupid move, Christina brags, "Look, I'm going to throw 1000 $1 bills and make a lot more people a little happier."

At this point the pilot, who has overheard all this bragging and can't stand it anymore, comes out and says, "I think I'll throw all three of you out of this plane and make 250 million people happy."

I hope all is well with you. You are lovely.

Sudo and others,

There is a big chance hubby and I will be stationed in Memphis within the next year or so. I don't know anything about Memphis. Please give me some insight! Anyone!

Sudo, I rated you the worst. Sorry it brought you way down.

For the record....I liked the joke....more please!

Sudo,

You sly creature! What I said was a joke. I am glad you fessed up. You are too funny!!!!

I will go rate you now. he he he!

On a side note...I gave us five stars today. We are down to three. I guess some don't like it. to them I say

Yo' mama so dumb, that the Psychic Friends only charge her half price to read her mind!

great Sudo man. I do see the errors of my way. You are da king.

P.S.

I went and gave myself some stars. he he he

Yo mama is so fat, she wore leather pants to a party and when she bent over to pick up a penny, people sat on her booty thinking it was a couch.

Two fellas are fishing in a boat under a bridge. One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge. He stands up, takes off his cap, and bows his head. The procession crosses the bridge and the man puts on his cap, picks up his rod and reel, and continues fishing.

The other guy says, "That was touching. I didn't know you had it in you."

The first guy responds, "Well, I guess it was the thing to do - after all, I was married to her for 40 years."

A family was having some people to dinner. At the table, the mother turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Dear, would you like to say the blessing?"

"I wouldn't know what to say," replied the little girl, shyly.

"Just say what you hear Mommy say, sweetie," the woman said.

Her daughter took a deep breath, bowed her head, and solemnly said, "Dear Lord, why the hell did I invite all these people to dinner!?!"

An English guy was very ill and his son went to visit him in the hospital. Suddenly, the father began to breathe heavily and grabbed the pen and pad by the bed. With his last ounce of strength he wrote a note, dropped it, and died.

The son was so overcome with grief that he didn't remember slipping the note into his pocket. At the funeral, he reached into the pocket of his coat and immediately felt the note. He excitedly read it thinking it might be something he could recite during the service. It said:

YOU WANKER -- GET OFF MY OXYGEN TUBE!!!
