Comments: I mentioned this over on Facebook, but for those of you who are still entertaining the career choice of "running away with the circus" (and you know who you are), let me recommend that you watch the movie "Water For Elephants". This tense little yarn from the Depression era (no, the OTHER depression ... 1930's) will definitely put the kibosh on your yearning to hit the rails.
Comments: Who needs "privacy" with the Turkey Hotel nearby?
Comments: You went to the Drive-In movie on a motorcycle? That wouldn't offer much "privacy".
Comments: Charlotte: Joan and I took a bike trip to Turkey, TX a couple of years ago and stayed at the Turkey Hotel. Room for two, steak dinner, breakfast, carriage ride around town and 2 tickets to the local drive-in theater-$79.00. I would recommend it if they are still open.
Comments: Hi!!"Guys and Dolls" spring play 63, I tried to send a comment a couple of days ago, must of found the magic button to lock out. Finally had to sk...to get on with the day. Found a site tree.52 was quite interesting. They allowed access to a 61 den, which I studied carefully, recalling all of you and finding many more in-cluding myself. Dear Rowena Paschal insisted I had to take typing, which I passed but I still can't, last tested early 1980's 24 words per minute only 28 error. Sure glad I learned to print and write, my spelling will hopefully get me by. Language arts were not too bad, but punctuation???it's a stab as in... then stab drag tiny twist as in,,,always the double stab:::combo;;; the slash stab!!!the diagonals///reverse\\\ the comco/\/\\/\/throat cutter---ankle cutter___ Pretty easy stuff all in all alittle easier for left or right handness. The real talent is in those with ambidextrousness and comes with remembering the figures-preferred taller )( not() ooops!!! got that wrong. It gets even tougher when you consider Squarer][ and []b then for the rest }{ or {} and >< or <> single time```double time'''Double its"""little~~~half light bulb moments???think harder###a little^^^ and you'll be in the$$$. How about two shots and you're only half dead%%% reverse vertigo@@@ seeing stars***someone hit you in the heas+++ or is that calvary, no double tracks=== haven't been profaning however typing does affect me that way. Oh! I'm in the 61 den actual page-126 & page-179 (online as p-130 and p-180). Mike Peter, Jimmy Stegall David Mikulec.
Comments: This is for my sister..."Happy Birthday Martha Bass Hunt"...it will be a awesome day, great weekend, and wonderful year. And my ... be with you.
Comments: When I taught high school we often did an exercise where the students had to determine if a comment is fact or opinion. An example would be: Mary lives at 4222 Grant Street. (fact because the statement can be verified). Mary may live forty blocks from the library. (opinion because what is being said is some ones opinion). Although this was usually an easy exercise, I think we need to be teaching students ways to determine if something is true. It seems a lot of people are misquoted nowadays and taken out of context.
Comments: People Eating Tasty Animals Mmmmmmmm!
Comments: phlash...Turkey, Texas, town of 500 residents, has been asked by PETA to change their name to Tofurkey. Let's ask ourselves...WHAAAAAAAT? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Comments: I've been told that by three I could play the radio.
Comments: Speaking of playing simple instruments, when I was only 3 years old I could play on the linoleum.
Comments: I saw a story on TV about a progressive private school in California (I think) that has no computers and cell phones are not allowed. The children learn how to interact, read from things printed on paper, play simple instruments, and other things like we did in grade school. They may even learn cursive writing. I think tuition was $9000 per semester, and parental involvement is required.
Comments: Now, that is "progress"? They can read SOME cursive and the oldest is 19???? Sad!
Comments: Many schools are no longer teaching cursive writing. Both of my Grandsons do not know cursive. The older is 19, educated in Mount Ida, Arkansas. The younger is 16, with elementary school in DISD and secondary schools in the celebrated Birdville ISD (Watauga & Haltom City, Texas). The only cursive they write is their signatures, although they can read some. They print everything else -- which is much slower than cursive writing -- but do most of their "writing" via texts.
Comments: Memo To Betty Burks: I did hear from your brother Jim today. Thanks for passing the word along. Very sorry to learn your mother is in bad shape.
Comments: Is this Betty Gibbs? Whoever, I am sorry about your mother and will raise a prayer.
Comments: John S: Handled your query as requested and understand he responded as instructed! I'm a Nook person (have two) and use my iPad but still love paper books as well. While my job was all the computer part didn't work in a special library for 18 years for naught. Cut us some slack - our mother is deteriorating rapidly... Say a prayer, please.
Comments: Cynthia, I didn't see that, but it doesn't surprise me. The preschoolers are using computers in school now. Did you see where several states are not going to teach cursive any more? I wonder what more "progress" we will see in our life time.
Comments: Did you recently see that video of a baby - toddler trying to turn the page of a magazine by sliding its finger of the page and could not figure out what was wrong? Another era gone aside? Wonder how that next generation will do with their eyes - bet they will all be wearing glasses early.
Comments: Love my Kindle, and use it daily! But when flying, I take paperbacks because I don't mind losing them.
Comments: I'll bet some one-armed soldier at the VA Hospital would love that Kindle!
Comments: hope your son doesn't read this GB!    
Comments: Joan got a Kindle last Christmas and has never used it. She likes having a book in her hands. If our son hadn't given it to her, it would have been on ebay months ago.
Comments: Yeah! Hey John - could you just bring my Kindle to the party? So looking forward to seeing you. Good way to start the year and end the year with SOC friends. Looking forward to starting the Christmas season with SOC friends.
Comments: All of you Kindle entitlees, go stand by the mail box and click your heels. I'm sure one will be arriving shortly, unless it's a postal holiday. On another topic, Dru and I are loading the sleigh and planning to attend the Dec. 4th holiday extravaganza. Seems we've missed the past two years. Last SOC function we made was a luncheon on a drizzly day back in January.
Comments: And Sharon.
Comments: P.S. to J. S.: Charlotte, Jud, Cynthia, Barry and a number of other people are "entitled" to Kindle Fires, too.
Comments: I note there was no Kindle Fire on my doorstep today. Thanks a LOT, Johnny. However, I did receive my secret invisible ink pens from Amazon(complete with ultraviolet light to see if I got my driver's license no. right) and have been busy writing that on all my valuables. Fortunately, that didn't take very long, because I don't have that many valuables. I had time to make shrimp scampi for dinner. Always thought that was redundant, like shrimp shrimp. Maybe it's just me.
Comments: Interesting John - looks like it could be SOC 63 group for the most part. Good seeing you.
Comments: Count me in, John. I'm also "entitled" to all those goodies. |
