a pack now costs more than a carton ? man, i know who the ruler of this world is !
ahhhh the more abundant life travelin' light just like veepee and craig
simon, what a sweet pathetic story. that means you HAD to move in with someone who had furniture and utilities. going on staff from graduation was a lot damn easier
What an insidiously kind way with words ... I love it :)
Beer by the quart, WOW, that and some sweet undershepherding in upstairs Anderson from some elder corps lass ... that would have changed my corpse life, but no, I was out there doing retemories while running.
Yesterday afternoon, the temperature here was 107.
The heat index was, however, only 106.
That doesn't sound too bad niKa... I think we'd take that down here... the day before yesterday it was 98 with a heat index of 105... of course that was at 10:20 PM... the high for the day was 112...
we're supposed to get a cold front from you guys tonight and tomorrow's high is only supposed to be in the mid to upper 90's...
...if it was a "dry" heat like simonzeeloaded and rocky have it would be a little more bearable... maybe that's what yours was... "dry"...
But there was a bright side to the cool front that came through.
I won some tickets by being the 5th caller to the radio station; I know, I should be cool and listen to CD's, but okay, I'm NOT that cool . . . anyway, I won some tickets to the minor league game that was played in OKC last night (the Oklahoma City Redhawks vs. the Nashville Sound). We loaded up the kids and had dinner in the the warehouse district before going to the Bricktown BallPark. Johnny Bench threw out the first pitch. It turned out to be a double-header. There were fireworks after the last game. It was definitely Friday Night in the Big Town.
But one of the very nicest things that happened was a breeze that began during the second game, which brought with it cooler air - all the way down to the mid-eighties. It felt like heaven as we sat with our huge beers and our peanuts.
At the risk of being too serious, I found this quote on a website, and thought that it reminded me of the way I used to feel regarding "our former denomination." In case it might come in handy to anybody, here it is:
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."--- James Arthur Baldwin
Oddly, I found that in the cases where I've been able to let go of some of the hard feelings (toward TWI or just anybody who's cheated or wronged me), the extent to which I've been able to let go of that ill will has been directly proportional to the extent that the pain has lessened.
At least, it usually works. Sometimes the whole scenario has to "age" a little. We were discussing the fact that it's been 25 years since we graduated from the Corps. The feeling of being cheated by TWI gradually recedes to the category of "lesson learned, back when I was a baby."
I would imagine that for some of the lurkers, it's still so recent as to be an open wound. It's to them that I raise my coffee cup of encouragement this morning.
you should post that in dervay forum niKa... seriously...
I agree,Tom...As a lioness among her whelps,the mother of our tread continues to nurture us little cubs in her boo-sum,letting us playfully wrassle away and run astray,as cubs will often do,and all the while coralling us into a more perfect way,gently patting our rumps with ingots of sage truths laced with the love befitting a proud mother....
Hey, I've heard that before... "We're all gone now!!".
Let's all pray our wandering star Fellowhipper returns to these our threads. Maybe he's been getting all liquered up with the aborigines. Fellow, if you're our there, just remember; the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
You guys have been whinging (whining) about the heat. I wish winter was over here as every day it is a jumper(sweater) and light coat with showers and drizzle. Life is good here but I am not in Kansas anymore. They all speak english but it is not what us yanks understand.
When they told Fellowshipper to line up for the queue,he didn't know if he should go to the poolroom or just what he was supposed to do...But he did get there driving on the wrong side of the road...

Oh... (((((((Karmicdebt))))))), I'm SOOOOOO sorry. It is most understandable that you would feel that way.

Okay.
Yesterday afternoon, the temperature here was 107.
The heat index was, however, only 106.
The radio disc jockey was kind enough to explain how this could be.

Nope, it was pretty "not dry," as heat goes.
But there was a bright side to the cool front that came through.
I won some tickets by being the 5th caller to the radio station; I know, I should be cool and listen to CD's, but okay, I'm NOT that cool . . . anyway, I won some tickets to the minor league game that was played in OKC last night (the Oklahoma City Redhawks vs. the Nashville Sound).

That's the weather report from niKaville.

Simon, much learning doth make thee MAD (mothers against drunk drivers).
As opposed to DAMM (drunks against mad mothers).
Speaking of which, Sexie, where is Mother??

You guys have been whinging (whining) about the heat. I wish winter was over here as every day it is a jumper(sweater) and light coat with showers and drizzle. Life is good here but I am not in Kansas anymore. They all speak english but it is not what us yanks understand.
