Comments: Thanks Ken. I feel much better now. Backup performed by the Zumwalt cheerleaders?
Comments: Johnny Bullard
Comments: **Zumwalt Question** Could have been 8th OR 9th grade; can't remember THAT far back. I surmise there was a talent show (of sorts) that a guy named Johnny (I think) did my first ever seen lip sync (I didn't know what lip sync was; I thought they were good singers) with backup by some (maybe all) Cheerleaders. They sang "(Johnny, you're too young) I'm gonna get married." Does anyone else remember this or have I been having a bad dream for more than 50 years? Miss Stamps? OMG! What a little darling she was! I think she hated me. I was sooooo naive back then.

Let me see if i remember any of it.Wan that april with the surest sota.The drughts of march hath its corasona.and smalley foolest mocken melodia ...........

Comments: That's okay. I'm always opening my mouth and inserting my foot. Don't feel bad about it.
Comments: Well, leave it to me to blurt it out!!!! Haaaaaa
Comments: Charolette I agree with you about Miss Stamps. I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to comment
Comments: I think her mode of transportation was a broom!!!!!!!!
Comments: Thanx Charlotte...and all these years I thought it was just me.
Comments: That is MISS Stamps and boy I knew why too...ahem. Okay, I admit it...that is not very sweet of me....but truth is truth!!!
Comments: On a trip to Houston this week I found and purchased Blackie Sherrod's book "scattershooting" released in the 70's. The "taxes" comments remindes me of one of his lines. "Our neighbor jones says our nation may not be the first to colonize the moon but you can bet we'll be the first to send foreign aid"... You'll have to excuse the overusage of "s I just like those little "s...overusage?? Mrs. Stamps would love to grade this.
Comments: Thank you, Ken. It looks like our friend from south of the equator doesn't find us all that interesting.
Comments: Yes, dear.
Comments: Kenneth, is that you? Please say it's so! (y)
Comments: Tommy D., Tommy D..... Where have you been..? When you retired, you left the planet... (That might not be such a bad idea, for an 'extended vacation'.. ) Anyway, glad to see you're 'still around'.... Somewhere..??
Comments: Nope. It's Argentina.
Comments: I think you may be right Doc.....but what in our G B could interest China?
Comments: Looks like the Leftnellgarrettitis Syndrome is alive and well south of the border. Actually, based on recent headlines, the real name for the hacker is probably Wo Fat.
Comments: hi ginger and john-two of the best of all time
Comments: Ooooo intrigue...did we have a hacker????
Comments: JS, as if many at fault drivers even have insurance.
Comments: The bad news, first. I had to pay a fortune to get hauled to a hospital a few years ago, but that's okay because the EMTs kept me from croaking due to low BP. The good news, second. This site seems to have been discovered by someone in Argentina. Makes me want to tango or eat a bowl of Blue Bell. Maybe I'll start with the Blue Bell.
Comments: Thanks John. I guess I needed to spell it out in detail....I suppose M City folk's premiums will go up! The article said other cities are contemplating this tax too. It also said that some states prohibit cities from levying this tax.
Comments: I don't think the "crash tax" will have any effect on citizens performing CPR. In Missouri City it will be a fee to cover the "expense" of a fireman or policeman acting as a first responder to a variety of situations. For now the plan is to bill the at-fault driver's insurance company for the fee. If that insurance company does not cover such an expense the City states they will NOT bill the individual. I hope this plan doesn't become popular. My guess is that it will mostly just force insurance companies to further raise their rates. http://www.missouricitytx.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?aid=335
Comments: That first responder tax is going to hurt those of us that have taken a CPR course and first aid courses, by law if we see anything resulting in a need for help we are required by Texas law to stop and render aid and can get into trouble if we do not use our services.
Comments: Look at this..... The city of Missouri City, Texas -- a suburb of Houston -- is going to start charging drivers for responding to car accidents, according to KHOU.com. The fee, known as a "crash tax," is meant to cover the costs of the first responders that come to aid in the event of an accident. And it's not cheap. According to KHOU, the fee can range from $500 to $2000 depending on the severity of the accident, and will be charged even if drivers don't call for help.
Comments: Although I love music, I'm no good at it other than to listen to it. Can't comment on the shorts incident. However, I know that Mike Eagan's mom ran a tight ship. I believe Mike is a doctor. He was very smart.
Comments: Of course Mike's mother didn't do that....it was a joke...ahem! My little secret is that when the camp was closed, I swam with boys!!! haaaaaaaaa! Their father ran the camp and I was a girlfriend ya know.
Comments: Oh Charlotte responded.. You forgot..It halted our 'shorts' wardrobe, for sure. If the camp was at Mt. Lebanon...no, Mike Egan's mother didn't do that. That was the Southern Baptists of the Dallas Baptist Association.. My mother couldn't 'mix-bathe' when she was a youth..! Mix-bathe...isn't that a funny..?
Comments: There was another Dallas case of molestation reported by the Times Herald. Back in the 90's, I had to consult with the Dallas Public Library Archives, to get copies. That was before the extensive 'online' searches that are done now. The woman at the DPL sent me copies that I have to this day.. If you search long enough, you can find those stories.. The story I was looking for evolved in the 80's but started back in the 60's.. These things go on for years before the truth comes out.. It's sad and surprising 'where and who' is involved.. ** No one has remembered the SOC concert choir 'shorts' incident, yet..?? It just was such a surprise that we girls were corrupting the boys in the choir by wearing them...?? (There are big sins and little sins, I guess.) |
