Put on my blue suede shoes

And I boarded the plane

Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues

In the middle of the pouring rain

W. C. Handy - won 't you look down over me

Yeah I got a first class ticket

But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis

Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale

Walking in Memphis

But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis

On Union Avenue

Followed him up to the gates of Graceland

Then I watched him walk right through

Now security they did not see him

They just hovered 'round his tomb

But there's a pretty little thing

Waiting for the King

Down in the Jungle Room

Chorus:

They've got catfish on the table

They've got gospel in the air

And Reverend Green be glad to see you

When you haven't got a prayer

But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano

Every Friday at the Hollywood

And they brought me down to see her

And they asked me if I would--

Do a little number

And I sang with all my might

And she said--

"Tell me are you a Christian child?"

And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Chorus:

Put on my blue suede shoes

And I boarded the plane

Touched down in the land of the Delta blues

In the middle of the pouring rain

Touched down in the land of the Delta blues

In the middle of the pouring rain

***keeping my fingers crossed Memphis here I come!

um, I dunno but I think I am in love with the sign

Hello Mrs. Sudo. I think you are very beautiful.

Hey Sudo,

Did you have any family member in TWI? You look like this guy who dated my evil WOW sister. He was from Ten., red head, very handsome, and had the cutest accent. (Oh and he looks like you.) I never met anyone from the south before and I could listen to him talk forever when he visited us in Arizona. Gosh I can't remember his name!!!!! Anyway, my evil WOW sister broke his heart. I was so mad at her because he was such a doll.

Sudo,

You are so handsome! I am not saying that to get on your good side

Sirguessalot,

First ofall, let me say that even though I have not told you before, I have loved your posts. I wondered where you went, now I know.

"We have a tendency to define others in very simplistic terms.

He does ____, therefore he is evil. He does ____, thererfore he is good.

We think it makes life simple, but it only complicates things.

We create sides. Because then the work is done, and we can move on to fulfillment.

But the work is never really done.

Everything changes. And everyone is more than meets the eye. Even you."

This goes way past the world is black and white thinking of TWI. No one is 100% good and no one in 100% bad. We are more complex than that. I see good people do bad things and bad people do good things. Which is right? Which is wrong? There are no clear roads as TWI taught...only one road. Yeah right! That one way road is a dead end!

So Laleo,

Please do tell me do you think that arguing and debating is the only way to get people to challenge themselves?

To all, It seems like there are some that think we all here for a “purpose”, to help cult members, to find the great meaning of life, to help others help themselves to God knows what. If we do not have this purpose, then we are just wasting our time.

Well I guess I am wasting away in Greasespotville and I have no one to blame but myself.

I have purely selfish reasons for coming here. I am here mostly for entertainment value and talking to some people I happen to enjoy talking to. Yes, there are post that spark my interest from time to time, but mostly I stay to the jokes and the light stuff. I have enough drama at my job and enough “realness” in my real life to fill several books.

Do I have to have a purpose/cause to post here?

Yo' mama so fat, she has double chins all the way to her ankles!

An old cowhand came riding into town on a hot, dry, dusty day. The local sheriff watched from his chair in front of the saloon as the cowboy wearily dismounted and tied his horse to the rail. The cowboy then moved slowly to the back of his horse, lifted its tail, and placed a big kiss where the sun don't shine. He dropped the horse's tail, stepped up on the walk and headed for the swinging doors of the saloon.

"Hold on there, Mister," said the sheriff. "Did I just see what I think I saw?"

"Reckon you did, sheriff. I got me some powerful chapped lips."

"And that cures them?" the sheriff asked.

"Nope, but it keeps me from lickin' 'em."

“At GreaseSpot, we know each other through our words” Yes and no. Some people here really know each other, either from TWI or from meeting outside of the Caf? Some like each other and some hate each other. They carry their vendetta onto Grease Spot and try to drag others into their fights. After months of posting, I finally figured that out. I would get all hot and bothered about a particular subject only to find out I was being baited and used as a pawn for someone else’s gain. I learned my lesson. That does not mean I have been hushed, I pick my battles a little more carefully and stay away from those carrying an axe.

As far as policies, I say use common sense. Other than that I really do not like to police adults. Someone may come in here and say, Adios, you are an idiot! Well, I can’t really change that and God knows I would probably blow up at them, but I can’t control that other person and or his or her keyboard.

Sorry ex, I did not mean to put a downer on your thread.

Love, Me

“while the "parent" hounds Pawtucket to enforce "something, anything, just give us law and order." Same person, parent and child. The "adult" is nowhere to be found.”

I see this differently. I think the person who runs to Pawtucket and hounds him to do something is very much a child, an annoying child. I see this happen with siblings. Two or more may be fighting and one of them will run to Maw or Paw to put an end to it because they were trying to watch tv or something and the noise is unbearable! We are all adults and should be able to settle our own matters. If I am tired of a topic or a certain poster. I ignore the whole thread entirely. There is one poster that I just can’t stand. Anytime he/she starts a thread, I stay out of it. I know that I disagree with everything he/she says and I just plain don’t like his/her point of view. That is just me though, and I do not expect others to follow suit. Live and let live.

“Is there some existing netiquette, maybe an icon or code that suggests "I do not want to fight," or "bring it on?"

Good idea Sirguessalot! I see CW has a sign that says what her mood is. Maybe we can attach a sign next to our handle…how about a “I am always right and if you disagree with me you are wrong”

Laleo

I agree with you on some points. I just think that some topics are up for debate and some are not. When a person shares something painful that happened to them, I don't think it is right to criticize or make fun of that incident. Even if I don't like someone, I can sympathize with them.

Sometimes I wonder if some of these fights are due to some deep resentment between the parties that may or may not be known to the rest of us. Then they drag other people in who may be ignorant of the history. I know I was played before and I felt like an idiot. Fighting the point seemed right at the time to me but then the claws came out and so did the real issue which had nothing to do with the topic or the initial fight. It was like junior high.

Then there are others like CW pointed out. I like when you Laleo and Satori debate. Not because I get a kick out of the fight, but because you two are so smart and insightful that I see things I never thought about or see it in a different way.

I hope I am making sense here.

I have not yet begun to fight!

sorry laleo, I am up late and need to go sleep.

I think the world of you and I am glad you are here. I will fight with you later

Ex, I learned today that you share the birthday of my husband deceased mother. She died when he was 10. Very sad. When I told him it was your birthday also, he said...she must be very special. I said oh yes she is.

You are!

I am so glad to know you!

Yellow

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,

And everything you do,

Yeah, they were all yellow.

I came along,

I wrote a song for you,

And all the things you do,

And it was called 'Yellow.'

So then I took my turn,

Oh what a thing to have done,

And it was all 'Yellow.'

Your skin

Oh yeah, your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

You know, you know I love you so,

You know I love you so.

I swam across,

I jumped across for you,

Oh what a thing to do.

Cos you were all 'Yellow,'

I drew a line,

I drew a line for you,

Oh what a thing to do,

And it was all 'Yellow.'

Your skin,

Oh yeah your skin and bones,

Turn into something beautiful,

And you know for you,

I'd bleed myself dry for you,

I'd bleed myself dry.

It's true, look how they shine for you,

Look at the stars,

Look how they shine for you,

And all the things that you do.

There was a Rabbi whose wife was expecting a baby. So the Rabbi went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the Rabbi's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After five or six children this started to get expensive, so the congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the Rabbi's pay situation. As you can imagine, there was much yelling and bickering. Finally, the Rabbi got up and spoke to the crowd.

"Having children is an act of God," he said.

In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood up and in his frail voice said, "Point of information - snow and rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."

ooops....sorry

Bud has a "nosebleed seat" at the final game in the Stanley Cup series. He notices an empty seat in the front row.

After the first period, he makes his way down to the empty seat and asks the guy in the next seat if anyone's sitting there. The guy says, "No, you can sit there."

As they're watching the game, Bud asks the guy whether he knows who owned the ticket for the empty seat. The man says, "Yes, it was my wife's seat. We've been coming to Redwings games together for years. But she passed away."

Bud says, "I'm sorry about that, but couldn't you find a friend or relative to take the ticket? I mean, this is the FINAL game for the Stanley Cup!"

The guy says, "No, they're all at the funeral."

An old priest got sick of everyone in his parish confessing adultery.

During one Sunday's sermon he told them, "If one more person confesses to adultery, I'll quit!"

Since everyone liked him, they decided to use a code word: "fallen." From then on, anyone who had committed adultery said they had "fallen."

This satisfied the old priest and the parishioners, and everything was fine for years, until finally the old priest passed away at the ripe old age of 93.

Shortly after the new young priest settled in, he paid a call on the mayor. The priest was quite concerned. "You have to do something about the sidewalks in this town, Mayor. You can't believe how many people come into the confessional talking about having fallen!"

The mayor started to laugh, realizing that no one had explained their code word to the new priest.

But before the mayor could explain, the priest shook his finger at the mayor and said -

"I don't know why you're laughing; your wife fell three times last week!"

Ex, I am glad to make you laugh. I loved Grace Kelly also. I can remember where I was when I found out about her death. She was a gem!

CW, Yes I saw two topics. I posted in one. I did not know if I was intruding.

Excathedra, I clicked on private topic (see below) and then poof I saw some topics started by CW. I could go in them and look at her beautiful artwork (good job CW. I loved the stuff). I didn't know if I was invited or if I stumbled in to CW's secret world. It looks like CW is not the only one with a secret world. He he he. Now we know where you spend all your time
