Comments: I, too, watched DWTS instead of House. Did anyone watch "Lone Star"? Somehow, the previews didn't really appeal to me. I like Castle, but I'm looking forward to the premiere of "Bones". Castle ended just in time for me to flip to the Saints-49'ers. Good game. Peaches, I tried to e-mail you this morning and the thing got sent back to me. I lost all of my e-mail addresses when I got a new computer a few weeks ago. So e-mail me so I can reply and give you the scoop on the phone calls. Thanks, Sharon
Comments: Cynthia, I agree that professional dancers should not be on DWTS, but I loved seeing Jennifer Gray again. There are several who have lots of room for improvement -- like The Situation. Maybe we should think up cool names for ourselves like that. I wonder if The Cellulite has been taken.
Comments: No, they will not get together on Castle. I have it on good authority that Beckett is waiting for me to be available. It must be tough on her!
Comments: Hey Lynell - I watched DWTS too. It was quite moving to see Jennifer Gray dance but it hard to reconginize her as the more mature young lady Patrick Swayze swooze in Dirty Dancing. Not sure she should be up against all the others since she has the background he had but sure enjoy watching her. A few people are painful to watch but several will have the run for the money this year. I think the judges were really gracious on their favorites as I thought they were close to handing out some 9s last night according to there comments but they restrained to 8s. Who do you think is going tonight? I think there are 3 possibilities. Saw Castle last night too. Think they will get together this year?
Comments: I watched Dancing with the Stars (most of whom I didn't recognize) and the premiere of Castle. Hawaii 5-0 is recorded for tonight, along with several reruns of the original -- and probably better -- version.
Comments: I agree, John. It was disappointingly just another cop show with a trite rehash of a plot played out several times over the last few years . HOWEVER, Grace Park and the Hawaiian scenery are always worth a look.
Comments: Mike, I sent you my phone number. When you get time, ring me up and give me some major tips. Did any of you watch the season premier episode of "Hawaii 5-0" last night? I rated it 'two pineapples down'. Jack Lord, where are you when we need you?
Comments: Do not post very often. J.S. has sparked my interest. Have been ground surfing for about 30+ years..at least that's what I call it. John you have been way to reckless with this instrument you are using. Make sure you always use headphones, especially if there are children around. They are very curious you know. You may want to check with the local D.A. office to see if you are committing any kind of crime. He He. I always carry a trash tote, so if anyone ask. I'm just picking up trash. Most people don't mind. Also no running with sharp objects. John, I have found all kinds of stuff. Will try and give you a ring. Just my tow cents. Mike
Comments: Yeah Sam...huh? me too. I think Claudia didn't get the "talk like a pirate memo...or maybe that was her best attempt. I never could understand pirates much either..lol
Comments: Huh!
Comments: JS, Oh, how I love the way you keep folks honest...misguided and misinformed people are quite dangerous and act without reservation or factual information! Worse still, they haul off and misinform others who take the misinformation and act without facts...and so the story goes!
Comments: Don't forget, mateys ... today is National "Talk Like A Pirate Day". Q. How much does it cost a pirate to get his ears pierced? A. ... a buccaneer! In keeping with the spirit of the holiday, the Sultan of the Sand set out on yet another hunt for the elusive dubloon. I dropped anchor in Tamarac Park - former site of an old sawmill back in 1930. The scurvy mosquitos were out this morning and cut me search short. "Stink-foot Jack" (that's me pirate name) came up with the following loot near a 100 yr. old weeping willow: 
Comments: Lynell, let me re-check my calculations, but I think you're within a nickel of what the "real treasure hunter" has found, and hey, you didn't have to be the lurker around children's playgrounds. But, you did have to endure the Wal-mart sights.
Comments: A shout out to all you treasure seekers out there (and you know who you are): Today I was Walmartin' and I found a shiny quarter right there on the floor in plain sight. Unfortunately, I also saw a woman in a way-too-snug dress with a sideseam that had come unsewed from the hem all the way up to that roll above her waist.
Comments: Sam, thanks for the info you sent me. In reviewing it I could find no reference to "Progressive Insurance Company" having a policy of funding "liberal causes". However, it is clear that their former CEO, Peter Lewis, definitely chooses to make large contributions of his personal wealth to liberal entities such as: American Civil Liberties Union ... $15 mil. MoveOn.org ... $12.5 mil Marijuana Policy Project ... $3 mil The Democratic Party ... ? Those donations seem small when compared to other causes he supports like arts and education: The Guggenheim Museum ... $50mil Princeton University ... $233 mil Case Western Reserve Univ. ... $36 mil. My take on it all is that as a 77 yr. old eccentric billionaire he is entitled to spend as he chooses. I am inclined to separate the "Progressive Insurance Company" per se from the actions of their former CEO. [I still buy Hershey's chocolate products even though they employed Jeffery Dahmer at one time]. Ten years ago when I was in to motorcycles, Progressive, by far, offered the most competitive insurance rates. State Farm wouldn't even talk to me. I hope Barry can find a suitable boat insurer with satisfactory premiums. However, I don't think his policy cancellation will have much impact on Peter Lewis' spending habits.
Comments: Info has been forwarded to you Johnny. And Flo ain't no Adrian, but somehow I knew you'd take a shine to her!
Comments: Cousin Sam & Hero Barry, at the risk of opening up a can of worms, just what offensive causes did you determine that Progressive Insurance Company is funding? Should I burn my prized autographed photo of their spokesperson "Flo"?
Comments: Thanks to Cary Askins ('62) for the heads up sent yesterday regarding Progressive Insurance financing progressive causes. I forwarded it to several classmates, and just got a return email from Barry Gibbs saying he's just cancelled the insurance on his boats that he had insured with Progressive. Their reply, when he told them why he was cancelling, "We've heard that a lot lately". WE THE PEOPLE need to let anybody know, whenever possible, that they're NOT going to take our country away with some lunatic progressive agenda. Hooray for Barry!!! He's my hero today.
Comments: I guess the recession finally reached The Woodlands. I would expect John to be finding Krugerrands, diamond jewelry, and caps from bottles of Sam Adams Utopias Bierdrome Secours beer.
Comments: Sultan of the Sand update: Set out this morning on my 4th treasure hunt. It was 74 degrees but the high humidity continues. I returned to Alden Bridge Park's sand volley ball court and nearby kiddie playground. At the volley ball court I found my 2nd dime! Had more luck at the tot lot ... 2 pennies and my first Quarter (down 5" under sand and bark mulch over by the slide). Near the end of my hunt a mother and her 4 yr. old son showed up to play. The boy's name was "Owen". I know this because every two minutes his mother was shouting "Owen, you're gonna fall and hurt yourself" ... "Owen, that swing is gonna hit you in the face" ... "Owen, yada yada". Owen didn't bother me. Secretly, I was hoping he had a half dollar in his pocket as he hung off the end of the slide. 
Comments: Wayne Z called me this morning with good news about David Splawn's wife. She is getting stronger and will be going to rehab soon. He hopes to come to the 65th birthday celebration to be with friends. The power of prayers! Remember cards mean alot to people at times like these.
Comments: Chapstick and cell phones.
Comments: John, wonder what one would find on the ski slopes after the snow melts? Wonder if anyone in your hobby group has search some of those? You did those players a favor finding those items in the sand...they might cut themselves if they fell on them. It saddens me too to learn of the health issues of our classmates. Another reminder for us to live every day.... we are able to get up....to the fullest. That is great news about Dorothy's husband.
Comments: I am most sorry to hear of the severe health issues of some of our classmates. Wish I'd taken better care of my own health since the days of SOC. My new hobby is forcing me outdoors more, but the heat gets me down pretty fast. Try to do my treasure huntin' between 7:30am and 10:30am - then shut it down. The beach is a great place to look, but a bit too far to drive. So my "beach" substitute today was a nearby sand volley ball court. The BIG find was a 2000-D Lincoln penny along with two pull-tabs, and a piece of a nail (which registered as a quarter on my machine). I didn't realize there was an anthem for those of us in this challenging sport. Turn up the volume and enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px6Dbbwwbo0
Comments: Please do not think of that last post as a downer. Those of us who believe in the power of prayer (and they all do that I mentioned) need to know so they can pray for our classmates.
Comments: More prayer requests. Jimmy Nicodemus wife, Daisy called a week ago and left me a message. He has no memory at all. he knows she is his wife. He pats her on her knee and sats "I love you, you are a good women". She has to totally take care of him. I will call her soon. It would be nice if those of you who knew him would write a letter. I am sure she would read it to him and maybe somewhere in his mind it would make him feel happy. I did not really know Jimmy except he was so handsome. She said to tell his friends hello. Talked to Richard Berry. Harolyn just found out she has breast cancer in both breasts. they are starting to talk to doctors at Baylor and find out path to take. Please send cards. They were at our last Reunion and had so much fun. They are a darling couple. Judy Cross Land's daughter died July 22 from years of battling kidney disease. She had 3 transplants (judy gaver her a kidney first and it lasted 8 years.) Please pray for our dear classmates and treasure every moment we have. Their addresses are in the last directory we had at the 45th. If you need their address email me or call me. peacheswalker@gmail.com. 214.553.0232 Bob Averitte (Dorothy's husband)is doing well and will go home either Monday or Tuesday. They will be at our 65th birthday celebration.
Comments: Hi Darlin Sharon, we have a family living at the ranch to take care of the place and animals(4 horses, 22 cow-girls, 2 barn cats and 2 Donkey boys). We could not run it without help. Terry has not been here the whole time either. He has board meetings etc in Houston and other cities. Someone has to earn some $ so that I can be here......haaaaaaaaaaa!! He has been seeing to the ranch and riding the horses while back in Texas. I just put my flag out to commemorate 9/11 tomorrow. I hope to see flags all over the place tomorrow. We need to NEVER forget!
Comments: If you plan on coming to our 65th birthday celebration get those reservations to me now. I need to make sure our room is large enough. I can not commit without a number. I also need your baby pictures!!!!!! Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate, Celebrate!!!!! Remeber, othere classes are invited also.
Comments: Charlotte, like Lucy in The Long, Long Trailer, is filling up the entire mobile home with pretty rocks. 
Comments: Charlotte, while you are spending all that time in beautiful CO, who is looking after the ranch? Hope you recuperate fast and get back home before the snow falls. |
