Lifted Up

I didn't see the contract mention, but someone would still have to know what he/she were signing for, like being confronted.

No argument there. It goes back to the trust we were discussing earlier. Even if it is what I need, I certainly can't expect someone to share their personal details with me, or especially on the web to everyone. I couldn't ask Kristen to give her account as she did, but I'm glad she did. I can't expect more of her or anyone than what they are willing to give, for as you would surely say in some words or others, it ain't easy.

Then come on over to the baseball thread...

Pulling out all the stops on his birthday.... CALLING LITTLEHAWK!!!!!!!!! :)

Why did I just get a good idea for this thread? I'll have to wait till I'm up, which won't happen right now.

Too easy? Doesn't matter, you're up!

Actually, they weren't that bad till the end of the '60s. I git a pretty good deal in '66 when I got a ten ticket package plus the presidential opener, won by the Indians 5-2 with 4 in the 9th, after Frank Howard had hit one of those low liners over the fence to give the Senators a 2-1 lead. And LBJ didn't make that game; HHH threw out the first ball. LBJ wasn't at the White House ellipse either when my HS choir sang there at the Pageant of Peace.

Let's get you back in here; in any event I hope your day is wonderful. One of, I think, about 95 percent of 8th corps younger than me.

No kidding. Well, at least my guys don't have to play someone we already smashed in the Rose Bowl. remember, we're the ones that beat the Jayhawks and LCM in the 1969 Orange Bowl.

lessee....what would be a good gift for the fans??? Cutting ticket prices??? :) P.S. I remember this franchise eons ago, as the Washington Senators, having the highest ticket prices in the AL. That isn't the case now, is it?

Thank you for the courtesy, Linda. However much or little I engage in this, I don't mind being mentioned. There is that phrase again, more or less. And, as with Linda, I feel sure that John is interested in cman's opinion. If I posted the reason that phrase seems to stick with me though, I would be going and besides courtesy, I have no personal desire to derail this topic.

Sounds a lot like my deprogramming, except for the first six words, and the fact that you do not describe how the information is presented. My question right now is, is it really both a confrontational process and one that doesn't involve detaining someone? I mean, by that someone has to agree to be confronted before the confrontation. If someone has to be detained even for a hopefully short time until they agree to "discuss" things, then that still involves detaining someone.

Okay, after letting this sit for a week with no takers, I'll jump in... A father and son are separated. The father goes on a distant search for his son, and they are eventually reunited.

Are you assuming too much, Linda? NOT! Unless you are referring to someone else; then add me. :) I think it adds in to what I just posted a little while ago on this thread. Because I had so much stuff jammed down my throat, I have had a strong reluctance over the years to accept some of the bad. Changing my thinking involves a trust I have to give that I am not sure many understand. It makes it even harder when I don't seem to get the trust, even though I myself can picture understandable reasons for not being given the trust. Whether or not you were referring to me, there is a trust issue I have with your ending line, as stated to me almost word for word by someone else. Sometimes I wonder how much people are interested when they say they are. Not that I am doubting your interest in what John thinks; on the contrary, I believe it is there. Anyway, that was actually the first flag that drew me to your post (Nobody knows how my mind works!) And you did restore something in my mind with your post, though that would take too much explaining and wouldn't be appropriate here.

(Sigh) I suppose this is a pretty good general statement. Trust can't be demanded, but it is still important and works both ways. It takes trust to talk to others about what happened to you; it takes trust to change your way of thinking as I am guessing many others here have found out. If people got burned in TWI from the assumption of "VPW (or someone else) said it; it must be true", people are going to be wary in the after TWI world as well. Yea, I agree that trust need to be earned, but I wonder if in some cases it just can't be done.

The good news is that I'm thinking about this one. The bad news is that I'm thinking. Anyway, I gotta feeling I may evenutally come up with a guess, but not now.

Now I'm thinking if my Iron Lady remark struck a nerve and Twinky is being nice by not saying anything. :unsure:

yea, going the opposite way as some whom I have seen listed as a century or older! But I won't expound on those thoughts because I don't wanna get into to much trouble! Happy Birthday!

Belated Happy Birthday! remembering the other half of my inspiring pair.

Somehow I guess I should have known that! The name change I mean. I'm not saying a thing about the age, considering where i am.

Yea, GS has its own traits. like, and I'm glad of it, baseball is so big here; just sometimes curious why football usually lies aside, even in its season, while at work and at The Y the football talk is always flying thick.

Finally!!! But I wonder if anyone else was looking at this at all? Anyway...go when you can.

Maybe bad choice of words, but I was referring to your comment about feeling lonely around here as the only Yankee fan.

I just noticed some of this "review" stuff has spilled over into Kris' blog. The writer seemed compelled to write a disclaimer first to deny his life and faith was being dictated by TWI before blaming Kris herself for the abuse that she suffered. I can think of some interesting ways to answer this, but I do not think Kris' blog should be used as a battleground, at least I don't think she would want that. Besides, I have already given my support elsewhere on her blog.

Today, December 2nd I know that, according to her profile, it's been over a year since she checked in. But she is well remembered here and I hope she has a wonderful day. A few years ago, she sent me an uplifting e-mail, which she probably doesn't remember, and if she does, surely never knew its importance, together with a similar e-mail I got about the same time from another long time GSer.
