Nika, that was a favorite of mine also, to just sit and watch the pea-pul go by. That was the best way to find someone. I remember the corps week/ROA just after I got divorced, I showed up, feeling too wierd, like I'd murdered someone, or stolen the love coach for some joy riding. I was out by the registration tent riding in on a flat bed, and saw 2 9th corps, the male of which smoked pot with the bee-uls, and their love and greetings put me back at ease. Made me feel like I was not the HUGE failure we were made to feel like. Like I still had some worth to someone. There I was, a corps grad, and needed some help. How weak!!! How outta fellowship!!! Thank God Craiggy wasn't the one to greet me in his special way ...

niKa,

It must be a picture already on the internet somewhere. Use the blue reply button (not "Quick Reply". When the input box comes up, there will be some buttons along to top. One looks like a picture. It will allow you to input, or copy and paste, the URL where the picture can be found. It will then put the HTML code in for you.

nika you are such a sweetheart, same with you other "guys"

it's fine.... enough with "from the chair" icon_wink.gif;)--> (meant with affection) unless it's really on your heart icon_wink.gif;)--> (more affection)

i think about "the rock" and how great it was to see people like y'all. it was wonderful having that time in the summer to be with friends.

i liked the burgers too icon_wink.gif;)-->

but i did anything and everything to get out of certain jobs and of course setup for meetings and meetings.

one year i aced a job with a cushman, that was cool. one other year i did a big garbage truck (rode in the back of it, didn't drive it) and that was fun....

because i was with people that made me laugh and love

sigh....

I loved the roa. I looked forward to it to see the loved ones. But I must say that as years went by to me my relationships were more shallow and either I became hardhearted or others did. It is sad to think that people change like that. Do you remember traveling for days on end to ohio and seeing the first bumper sticker along the way? Was so exciting.

Ok!! I will not try to be a nice person...ok? I will not!!

It was exciting to see that first green bumper sicker, I miss the ROA as well.

We were suppose to sign up for a job and I just didn't sign up one year. I had so much fun!!!

PS Tom you have tried SO HARD! Let Ex find her own DAM n chair. She has found fault with every replacement. I think the one you found is great, I'll take it!

Ex, face it the chair is gone!

I really am so glad I am not in TWI anymore.

The ONLY thing I miss is you'z guys. And I do miss the fellowship we had in our early days.

But this posting site brings back great memories and gives me joy to hear that so many of you all have moved on and are thankful like I am.

I also hurt for some of us who had to go through things many of us were not even aware of, things that cannot be totally erased.

My thanks to God, and to all of you, for making life exciting and a joy once again.

Lotta things go through the heart and life of a man....Why,there was a time in my life when I didn't believe the words "9th" and "corps" at the top of this thread...I remember thinking if we'd ever make it to 50 replies I would dedicate my life to the integrity and accuracy of this thread in our day and in our time...

And when Rev.Tuttle opened his heart like the sunflower to the sun,well,he..uh...ahem,...you make me cry,son...

By the way,who's this godspirate??I'm a little leary of someone who doesn't capitalize God...When god is not capitalized it looks like the "god of this world",...Satan,splitfoot,the Devil,the Deciever,Beelzebub,Lucifer,the Adversary,Needledick,Baal,and,well,you get the idea...So....godspirate,....we adjure you by Jesus whom Victor Paul preacheth...come out and shew thyself....Oh...and hello to the rest of you.....

Oh my Simon you are a man after mine own heart. I do not mean to be redundant here (as you shared on return from our interim year at Gunnison), I was there and you made that statement. I just love you guys for these dusty thought momentos that we were raised on in our youth. And for this I am grateful, Is there a bonding connection here. I feel it..

Hello, Pirate.

Let's hear it for snow-covered gasgrills, in Phoenix, in October.

Went to the pumpkin patch today. Hayride, haymaze, cornmaze, pumpkin lesson, the works. Me and 65 of my closest 6- and 7-year-old friends, and some of their Moms, and their teachers.

My favorite job at Corps Week was breaking about a billion eggs for scrambled eggs. They'd scramble them on a big grill, working so quickly that the eggs didn't run off of the edges. I got to do the scrambling for a couple of batches; it was coooool.

I know, I know . . . way too easily amused.

My jellostiffer, Oh how I love thee. O for a thousand annie no-toes to sing ...

Who is this Godsprivateinterpretation?? Bring him out to us, that we may know him ...

Ex, I thank you and I thank you for setting me up with the VPWWOW hotline that summer. Why, I can see it yet, that fire-engine red phone, a direct line to the SOGWAP for our stay and our dime. And I remember the dog, what was his name??

Simon, you are the MAN. Spit like a house afire...

I got another (allos) job, one where I cannot work from home (yet), so I must needs split like a twig sos I can be there at corps time.

Love, love, love, mah people!!!
