Lynell, the "locals" do call it Thuh Woodlands. Folks in Conroe call it Plasticville.

Our house is so large I can't remember if we have a fireplace? Next time I'm in that wing, I will check (har-har).

ps - please don't ship me any cat photos.

Oops.  I meant Woodlandsly -- or is it The Woodlandsly?

Do the locals call it Thuh Woodlands?  Just curious.

John, I want you for campaign manager. I can do better than some nincompoops in various offices, regardless of party.

I have a very fine gift that for you that will wing its way Woodlandly as soon as I can find a box for it. You might want to clear an area over your fireplace. Hint: I hope you don't already have one.

As Ginger said, "We Want Lynell!"

(although I think her campaign is in need of a "reset")

No, we want Lynell.. Everybody's opinions are 'set'..at our age..

We run them off sometimes over here. It's a shame when people 'take their toys and go home'.. I don't like it..for whatever the reason..

I'm not getting my own website now.. Maybe later I'll get Jason to do that..

Barry has his own..website. Haven't been there yet, however..

I hate it that it's warming up..I like the cooler weather..

What great videos from the Class of '62 50th Reunion!  Those kids look great and can sure cut a rug.  To see them, go to their website (link is on our home page.)  The videos are under the Friends for Life tab.  Lookin' good, '62ers!

Our 50th was a real blast and the Remember When event was an emotional knock out.  We had a great time, to bad we did not get any of the '63 Class.  Check out the video pictures Claudia put up on the site.

And lighten up on our web site you gals, we just believe in free speech, and at last count had at least as many posters as you do here(I've even seen Barry, Tanya, and even Lynell there from time to time)....maybe more, so as far as running people off the site.....well, we'll take free speech over censorship every time, even on our Guest Book...we promise not to bite!!!

Hi Charlotte we missed seeing you!

Y'all, please play nice.  This includes sending private e-mails to people.  Your comments and suggestions are your own, so I'm very glad you are signing your names on here.

I really suggest you get your own website to opine on.  I will repeat for the zillionth time: You're not going to make any converts on here, more than likely.  Everyone seems to have his/her mind made up, so please put a sock in it.

Please don't discuss politics here.  Sign your name, and keep your politics on FB -- or better yet, get your own website and proselytize all you want to.

Can't imagine why anyone would engage in conversation about anything with a die-hard believer, because it won't be a conversation but a preaching.  I gave up on this many years ago.

Charm school was right.  Say, "That's nice."  It's way more charming than some of the alternatives that pop into my head now and then.

Yes, Barry just sent me a 'hostile' email... They do get mad, don't they..?? SOC 62 really does have a nice bunch of people... You just don't see them on their website..  I stopped going over there.. Apparently, Barry has a lot of friends over there that caused him to take 'offense' at my remarks. Do you think he'll send you a hostile email...? I doubt it.. And I was 'so sharing with him' when I sent him the Big Bird cartoon.. He's just not grateful...  (sigh)

yes, 62 posts many many things on their site and have run off many many people...therefore it seems it has become a conversation among a very few....not a Guest Book as it was intended.  That is why we need to be careful to keep ours friendly and informative about classmates and happenings  etc.

Now, Char...those '62' people get way, way political as well as being very pro, pro gun.. I wouldn't 'dare' show up there.. They might 'tar and feather' me.. There are very nice people from that year. The good old boys probably showed up.. I'm glad Boude Storey and SOC organizations...were so well represented.. Was Vickie 'Bear'....there..??

No more Big Bird...huh..???

Listen guys and gals....facts are fine..as in liking something, but you know who you all are ......the same ones over and over......Any other discussion.....ie taxes , candidates etc.... should go to FB or personal emails. 

Did anyone that reads here go t the 62 reunion?  AND did any of you take photos?  I saw a few on FB and it looked fun.  There were uniforms majorettes and drill teams from Jr highs and SOC.  COOL!

Barry, the money we spend on PBS is the people's tax money and they can spend the money the way Congress and the people predispose.  I would much prefer my tax dollar being spent on improving the educational level of our children and the infrastructure of the country than on the excessive amount we spend on the military.  We need to spend our tax dollars educating our children and doing what is best for the American tax payer. I am sick of the scare tactics that some groups employ so they can steal the people's money.  You should check to see how wealthy the top 2% are and how they have raided the middle class.  Since we are not suppose to discuss politics, this is my final comment.  I just think we should all aree to disagree.

Don't mess with PBS, Sesame Street or anything to do with PBS.. Really, leave Big Bird and everybody else on that network alone.. Bad statement by 'you know who?'..  Barry likes 'you know who?'... Just sayin.... Quit it Barry!  Haven't I said that before..?  (He's just following up on the Bill Day cartoon I sent him...)

Kathleen:

No one is cancelling Big Bird.  One of the presidential candidates proposed that it is not a function of the federal government to subsidize PBS.  If they can continue to get private funding and survive, great.  But you will not find any mandate for the government to use federal tax dollars to fund a TV network.  Just one of the many things that our government is involved in that is not authorized in the Constitution.  This is also just a fact and should not be considered political.

It's International Indigenous Peoples' Day..(instead of Columbus Day, since he killed and roasted Indians over 'an open fire',we should play down the 'Columbus Day'..)

We seem to have hit a dead end again on the guest book.  The only thing that is bothering me now is this cold weather.  It seems like I am having a hard time staying warm.  Oh! and that someone is considering canceling Big Bird. I love Big Bird and I think children's programs do a wonderful job  teaching children how to read.  I hope no one says this is political statement because I don't mean it to be.  I think of it more as a fact.

Ginger's comments brought to mind the Woody Allen comedy Sleeper, in which he plays the owner of a health food store who is frozen -- wrapped in foil, naturally -- and wakes up in the future, only to learn that his beloved health food is now condemned as harmful, while cheeseburgers and fries have been declared to be the healthiest foods.  If only!

Brenda, My grandmother from Killeen lived on Dr. Pepper.  I think she followed the 10, 2 and 4 times, which were the times you were supposed to drink Dr. Pepper.  I remember the Dr. Pepper plant was in Waco and later moved to Dallas.  She also liked to croquet and make quilts while she dipped snuff and drank Dr. Pepper.  When she wasn't doing the above with her friends, she played Dominoes and Moon.  No one considered her odd.

I have friends in their 60's, 70's...that only drink chocolate milk.. Of course, one of those friends has never seen a Star Wars Movie and doesn't like Rock and Roll..! Now that 'one' is not normal.. I have my coffee and then a little later, I have a glass of iced tea... I like the sodas, but try to stay away from them, as a rule, but I do cheat, occasionally. Not a breakfast item..for me. We all have our preferences..

I do agree with you JS.. Have to have the 2 cups of coffee.  There was a time that they(medical profession) said coffee might have something to do with breast cancer and now, in the past few years,they've said that coffee might be helpful in fighting against breast cancer. Wait long enough and they, whoever they are, will change their minds about everything.. I'd keep the coffee, if I could.. The 'soy milk' people want to convince everyone that dairy products are harmful to all of us.. I say, be patient, sit back and wait, and another 'expert opinion' will come out. Our world is funny like that.

Memo to Linda K. Wright:

I'd have to get a "second opinion" if my doctor said "no coffee for the rest of your life". Some days coffee is all that makes Life worth livin'.

I hope you heal up fast!

Phyllis, how sweet to think I may be doing something gracefully, since gracefulness was never one of my strong points.  I know how blessed I am to have relatively good health, and to have been pretty smart about running my life -- other than some dopey decisions now and then.

We have lived in the most incredible of times.  We had the best free public education ever offered kids, and most of us have done our best with it.  Thank you, DISD teachers of the Fifties and Sixties!

This time of year has always been my favorite.  I hope all SOCites are enjoying the less-than-horrible temps and the prospect of rain now and then. 

In my opinion, I think the Class of '63 is sumpin'.
