  1. One of your favorites in jr. high????

    Oh, my! I really DO feel old now.

    In 1973 I was in 9th grade, one year removed from junior high. Yes, I'm old.

    In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty I want to be in the warm hold of your loving mind.

    Is it Dylan or Springsteen, by any chance?

  2. Yes, some wonder what it was all about.

    But, there are still some who say things like, "Gosh, wasn't it swell,fellas?"

    Your post reminded me of the last lines of "Catcher in the Rye"...

    If you want to know the truth, I don't know what I think about it. I'm sorry I told so many people about it. About all I know is, I sort of miss everybody I told about. Even old Stradlater and Ackley, for instance. I think I even miss that goddam Maurice. It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

    People tend to look back at the "good ol' days" fondly, even if they weren't so good.

  3. Yeah, I remember the Jonestown incident. I was very disturbed by the whole thing.

    But back to the OP for a moment -- because I just realized something...

    (Now this is really funny...) The restaurant advertised in the billboard (La Hacienda in South Bend) is a favorite of my ex-Way friend, no joke. She lives in the area and is a member of a TWI offshoot. (So she still "drinks the Kool-Aid", get it? ha ha! The irony.)

    I wonder if she's seen it and what she thought. She's told me in the past that she's "embarrased" at having been in a cult.

    Anyway...this would all be funny only to me, I suppose. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

  4. Are you old enough to remember when the incident happened in 1978? Just curious.

    Sorry, BA. I thought everyone around here knew that I was never in TWI. That's probably why I was able to chuckle at that billboard.

  5. Clearly they thought it was funny

    I thought it was kinda funny (What can I say? I involuntarily chuckled..sorry), but definitely in bad taste -- and probably not a very effective marketing tool in the long run, I imagine. I could see where it would hurt or otherwise bother many people.

  6. Baby you'll come knocking on my front door

    Same old line you used to use before

    That's the game, well... what am I supposed to do

    I didn't know what I was getting into

    (chorus)

    So you had a little trouble in town

    Now you're keeping some demons down

    It's hard to think about what you wanted

    It's hard to think about what you've lost

    This doesn't have to be the big get-even

    This doesn't have to be anything at all

    I know you really want to tell me good-bye

    I know you really want to be your own girl

    (chorus)

    Baby you could never look me in the eye

    Yeah you buckle with the weight of the words

  7. Baby you could never look me in the eye

    Yeah you buckle with the weight of the words

    Those were the first two lines of the second chorus. Here are the first two lines of the song:

    Baby you'll come knocking on my front door

    Same old line you used to use before

    go

    This year the NY Jets, after compiling an 11-5 regular season record, beat Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in the playoffs, and came close to beating Ben Rothlesberger twice in one season -- all in road games. They are 4-2 in the playoffs after reaching the AFC Championship game in consecutive years.

    They ain't going nowhere.
