the changed film was much easier to swallow (i mean promote)
i was at that pfal 77, but that's all i know lol
hey d, i miss ya
I had my fun in the sun in that film. They called for joggers to run around the sidewalk the next day. I did, and very very briefly am alone in the center of the film (albeit not too close up) while the music "Believing's the key to heaven" is playing.

Prayers for my own medical things are appreciated, but you know us mama's, we'll walk forever on a broken leg if it means our kids get taken care of first.
Working on that.........
Yea, but it does make it easier if you have a good leg (and everything else that symbolizes) to use to do that caring. I don't want to make an enemy of a good friend, but I have a suspicion that I'm not the only one in the world advancing in years.
Of course, if anyone were the only person not to be doing that, it would be you!

So in any event, you got 'em (the preyers).

When I was a lad, I enjoyed watching those late games from California on my grainy b&w TV. There's was something about watching games late at night, with that big A out in the parking lot, and those halo caps, that seemed other worldly.I understand the time zone disconnect.
I remember going to a game at the Big A in the 70s, before they closedup the stadium beyond the outfield. It had the greatest view ever of the mountains.
Of course, I have posted before about going to an Angels game in their first year at Wrigley Field in L.A.

If you follow Kristen's blog, you see a not unfamiliar progression, from abuse to recovery. Her next book is apparently going to deal with the long recovery process.

I have had enough recent contract with Kris to know she is doing well; or I should say enough contact together with all she writes on her blog.
As far as the "changing the names" part, there are reasons, good reasons, for that which she or someone else involved in writ9ing and/or legal issues could better explain. I had no problem in the least with , this, though maybe
recognizing so much from being also at Indy and in the 8th corps at Emporia certainly helped.
I wish I had it together as well as she does.

Kristen has a follow-up coming, a sequel of sorts...her blog is still active (losingtheway.com)

Hi, Garth, I hope it was a good one! I wasn't around yesterday, but I very well remember that yours is a day ahead of mine.

I read a story a couple days ago about someone; I think it may have been someone around here, who turned 99 on that date (9-9).
Years ago, I made a note on a Weather Service statement at Indianapolis that it was 77 degrees at 7 am on 7-7-77. Seven sevens.
That was right before I went into the 8th (not 7th) corps.

CF & S seemed pretty harmless when I took it and helped BB run it at Indy about 1976-77...or was that the one Good Seed ran at Limb HQ? Well, maybe my old Indy buddy you-know-who has some memories, since he and BB and I spent some time together. Anyway, I really had no hint that this meant anything out of the way, so to speak...all the way till I had a "loosening up" lesson worked on me in my last residence year at HQ. Till then, my impression was that among the rank and file, even rank and file corps, there was no non pure sexual suggestions along the lines that happened to Kristen. But that little incident, whose memory was for me magnified by hearing thi8ngs said about me when people didn't know I was hearning them, is an important factor in seeing how all that Kristen describes happened to her.

My 19 year old autistic son has always liked to draw. In recent years he has also become increasingly computer savvy, to the point where in a regional competition, he impressed some Microsoft people enough to where they gave him a laptop. I know the two can go together, because one of my celeb contacts (not friends; see famous friends thread) has been an artist and now does it with computers as well, producing graphic novels. I don't know if he could be headed fo something like that, but I know enough to be aware that a manual artistic talent can actually be tranlated, at least in part, to the computer world. And this old fart knows, like everyone else, that almopst every profession is getting more computerized...architecture, I'm sure.

Praying here.

Still with you, Robi. Just don't apologize too much; when you can update us, you'll update us.

In the fall of 1979, the corps women had a get together in the Wierwille home. We men decided to pull a raid and swipe the big plate of nchos we knew they would have. We couldn't have done it without the permission of Mrs. Wierwille (hubby was away at the time), who gave us permission with only the request to be careful and not break anything. And, we also had the inside help of a "traitor", Naomi Townsend. After the successful raid, several of the women found us while we were standing around munching on the nachos, and were shocked by the presence of Naomi standing and munching with us.
Later that fall, after hitching back to HQ alone from LEAD, arriving late on a saturday night, I pulled a solo rain on the pantry and filled myself, since I was starving. It's not like I took food that didn't belong to me, though. I founf a stash of tasty leftovers from Thanksgiving two days before that actually had been labelled to save for returning LEAD people. In fact, they never did give us that as a group, so I must have had some kind of revelation.

LOL. A very dear friend of mine works at a Chinese/American restaurant. I'll have to stop by for lunch, order egg foo young and tell her this. She loves groaners, even writes them down so she doesn't forget to tell them to the kids. Thanks Ham!
Does this mean that Neil Young muct change his name???

I think the money thing is overdone and irrelevant, but I am personally biased on this because suring my deprogramming they (deprogrammers) tried to shave that down my throat with a lot of other stuff. They tried to add up every penny I spent, gave, would have made, etc etc, and it didn't make much impression on me. Again it is only my personal view, but I think the personal losses such as Shell has mentioned ( and BTW Kristen Skedgell as well) were much more devastating.

Does that mean we are basically "reactors"? (not the nuke kind). Just respond to others?
I think this pigeon will fly out of that box and drop something on the nearest radical behaviourist psychologist.
I think we are too complicated for such a generalization, just my uneducated (in that field) opinion.
