I Think I Will Scream!

Thank You, I feel better now.

I,m not screaming, but I would like to.  Joan is retiring after 20+ years of teaching and this week has been a real roller coaster.  She was in one of her crying modes earlier this week and she asked me how many times she had "broken down" in the past week.  If I was getting ready to say "bye" to teaching 4th graders, I think it would make me very happy, but teachers are not like that.  Several of you were teachers and probably went through the same thing when you retired.  Teachers get so involved in the lives of their students and I know it's hard to 'quit". 

Teachers are amazing people.  Two other teachers are retiring at Joans school and one of them has cancer.  She is so weak from all the "treatments" that she has to have a substitute 3 days a week to help her get through the day.  But she is there every day.  The other retiree has been teaching 43 years and acts like she is having a break down all the time.

With retirement, maybe Joan will be able to do all those home chores that have been on my "to do" list for years.  I suggested that maybe she could take some of those classes at Lowes and Home Depot where she could learn to do tile, carpet, hang sheetrock, fix all our lights that no longer work and replace the rotten deck.  Can you believe that she actually had another break down when I suggested that?

Women!

Well, drat.  I might have said that wrong.

Anyone who posts political beliefs that don't concur with one's own beliefs is likely to be thought of as not seeing things properly.

Okay.  That's it for me for today, I promise.

Please excuse my third post in a row, but I seem to be on a roll.

If someone elects to stop posting, that is their call, not mine.

There are people in our class who suffer from serious medical problems who probably don't want to read political stuff on here. Automated messages from candidates call me 20 times a day.  Do I answer the phone? Thanks to Caller ID, I don't answer 99% of the calls that come in.

I know people who have made millions honestly.  None are in politics, and none ask for money.  They don't try to cram their policies down my throat.

I wish politicians would run on merit and stop polluting my phone, my Internet and my mailbox with their brilliance.  Doubt that will happen, and most people will continue to vote a straight ticket.

So, please, stop it.  If you post political stuff on here, regardless of your beliefs, it won't be deleted by me -- but you will bring down the room.  And likely half the people who read it will think you're not very smart.

Okay...Girls..That would be Charlotte, who pays for this site, and Lynell that does her 'bidding'.
    It was very obvious when you were screaming at Kathleen. I didn't see you screaming at Barry several weeks back.. In fact you made 'sideways' comments to me about screaming. Char,  you would never approach me 'directly'. Kathleen's post was very small and very short..and I've stopped all of the political remarks except to come back at Barry for his remarks and screaming... I'm not one of your 'precious Republican friends' and I'm not endowed with money and in Jud's investment group.. You all want to do that..fine.. In one way or another you impart to the rest of us that Republicans are Superior..! Really tired of that.
    I do not agree with most of what Barry says... I did not agree with most of what Sam would say.. Both Kathleen and I get 'conservative propaganda' from those two, like they're going to convert us..? I do appreciate that Sam doesn't get on here and 'rage' anymore..but you are still allowing Barry to do so and not coming back on him like you do on Kathleen..
   Really girls..equal treatment and equal opportunity. We all graduated and participated in many things at SOC. We are all not going to be called Republicans or Conservatives...any time soon. Since this is a site with all our class's year and school on it. Would you please refrain from letting the Conservative/Republican or 'whatever they are'...bully others. You'all ran off Linda Sargent Jimenez. Please don't do that any more. Show me and all that there is some 'semblance of Humanity'..on this site.. Let me know if you read this, too...Jud. (this post will probably be deleted..I know.)
  Have a nice weekend... Whomever you support and vote for, in November...

On a cheerier note:  Peaches sent me an e-mail about the next SOC Luncheon.  The info is on the Events page -- Lunch at Napoli's in Garland, hosted by Phillis Burnett, SOC '64.  Check it out and mark your calendar!  Regardless of your politics, these things are always fun -- and remember, food consumed at SOC events has no calories!

Please please please please please keep politics off this GB.  It causes hard feelings.  The purpose of this site is to keep us together, not cause rifts.

I JUST SAW ON CNN WHERE MITT ROMNEY HAD $77+ MILLION DOLLARS IN THE BANK. IF SO, WHY IS HE ASKING FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ME AND DID HE EARN THAT KIND OF MONEY IN AN HONEST WAY?

Mary, it looks like that photo was taken on my porch.  You are all a blessing to me and I am thankful that I was part of the greatest class to ever graduate from SOC!

Peaches, I am sorry to hear of your loss.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Mary, you light up our lives and have for years.  Your bubbly personality and over all friendliness makes everyone feel a part of the party.  You put a smile on our faces.  Thank you for all you have given to us over the years.  You are in my prayers and those of our church.

Boy, if Paul Newman wasn't the best-looking man who ever lived, I'm not sure who was.  Remember him in The Prize??  Holy Moley!!

Mary Irene's knees do look like little hearts.  What a cutie.

I see little hearts on Mary's knees, but of course!
 
In the Health News:
 
Men thinking of cheating on their spouses better think again. "Fox & Friends First" highlighted a new study that shows men who cheat are more likely to suffer from a heart attack. The study finds it is often older men cheating with younger women in different surroundings that suffer the heart attacks. It would be wise to follow actor Paul Newman's advice, "Don’t go out for a hamburger when you’ve got the steak at home. And if you do, make sure you’re taking your Lipitor."
 
You go Paul!!!  Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Peaches, I am so sorry for you and the Walker family.  I know you are all very close.  All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

By the way, that picture of Mary (who looks like she's practicing to direct a choir) came from the 1963 Den.  She signed it "Goo goo."

Peaches, I'm very sorry about your brother-in-law.

Mary, the thought of how much fun you bring wherever you are
always makes me smile. 
It's so nice to have you say hello! 
Please know that you're in the thoughts and prayers of all who knew you

Greetings to all you wonderful SOCites. I am feeling great, celebrating all our blessings every day. My yard is a miraculous place of peace, beauty and meditation to convalesce, thanks to many of you, my sweet family, school colleagues and church friends. Come see me, any time so we can walk on the Serenity Path through my gardens. Your prayers, cards and support uplift my spirits daily. God Bless us all. Have a laugh on me today.  Mary Irene

It is with great sadness to say Bobby Lynn Walker, class of 62, my brother-in-law died today at 3:00 pm. He has been battling cancer for over 5 years. He first had lung cancer and it was in remission. Last year he found he had liver cancer. He was married to Cheryl Hawkes Walker, class of 65 for over 46 years. Please be in prayer for my family.
