Comments: Ginger, hang on while I go jump off the roof of my house! "Change has not come yet", you say? What....are you waiting for them to come take your MIRAGE away, or what? If we get ALL the change these crazies in Washington want, they won't even let you keep a Mirage. Well, maybe a Mirage, but nothing more. These are Marxists, socialists. They're not viewing fixing the problems in the Gulf as just an emergency for our country that needs federal attention. They view it as crisi to gain more governmental control. Geez! They want enough change that you'll be huddled in a corner crying, in case you hadn't figured that out. And that Lynell, quite the insurrectionist with that American flag decal on her window (I have one on one of the cars, Lynell).
Comments: I knew you were kidding Charlotte...Palin's remarks would be funny.. Isn't there a bumper sticker with that on it...? or something... Change has not come yet.. We are going through the aftershocks..of a lot of bad times, and they are not over.. It has been predicted that our economy and lifestyle will change. If we cut out all oil, you bet it would change..Dru probably wouldn't have a new knee..! I wonder if Smith and Nephew made that knee.. They're here...in Memphis, in the Ghetto.. Lynell is an insurrectionist...! My son and his middle school group always liked the Anarchists...thingy.. I've been told that the Mitsubishi has a good motor..A mechanic told me..It's just the 'struts' are worn out..I want my Beetle back, too... 
Comments:
Comments: I have an American flag decal on my window, probably considered controversial in some neighborhoods around Dallas.
Comments: Ginger, We inherited a 1990 Dodge Carravan that has run for years and is still running. It has a Mitsubushi engine that our mechanic always brags about. He says it is just like having a new engine. and always tells us to keep the Dodge van. We also drive a Honda Accord hybrid which gives us at least 40 miles to the gallon. When we bought our last car, we test drove almost all the SUV's and we bought a Saturn Vue at unbelieveable price. It has restored my faith in American cars. It is unfortunate that GM did away with such a reliable and comfortable SUV.
Comments: I was just kidding about the bumper sticker........have none.....would have none....ever! haaaaaaa!!! I do have a support our troops yellow ribbon magnet on my back door. I think I had a 6 Flags bumper sticker one time when they went around in the 6 Flags parking lot and put them on all the cars...........think about the law suits that would happen today if a business did that!!!!! haaaaaa!! Have a great day! ;0)
Comments: Oh..that's what a 911 is....! I have no money.. I would like a 'used' pickup that could hold a camper.. Of course, I want a pickup that gets 42 mpg... Won't happen.. Sure wouldn't have happened during the 'W' era... (Bush always had that 'goofy' look on his face...) That Mirage...still runs.. It's a lot better than the red Cavalier, I had.. It was a 1990 Cavalier and it was right in the middle of the 5 yr. period, in which Chevy put out 'Lemon' Cavaliers.. I wish I had my old VW Beetle...My husband (at the time)totaled that one or I would still have it..
Comments: A red Mitsubishi Mirage? No wonder you have bumper stickers all over it! I was going to get you to give me a tour of Memphis next time I was in town, but I think I'll just rent a Porsche 911.....with no bumper stickers!
Comments: Ginger: Sorry to disappoint you, but no "W" sticker, even though I did vote for him twice. Faced with the candidates in the last election, I would have voted for "W" again if he could have run. I noticed something interesting about "W" one day. I was listening to one of his speeches on the radio on the way home from work one day. It was a good speech and he was saying the right things, at least, according to my right wing bias. I got home and turned on the TV and everything changed. He always had this little "grin" on his face, like he had gotten away with something and I could barely stand to watch him. Same speech but I perceived what he was saying differently. I think he would have been received in a different light if there had been no TV's. The only stickers I have ever had on my cars were a SOC sticker. a Double T when I was at Tech and a Southlake Carrol Dragon sticker when Bryan was a Dragon. I do have a "Fire Pelosi" sticker at home and I have come close several times. Maybe I will put it on the next "Obama '08" car that I see in the parking lot! We had a '78 911 for many years that I was trying to sell a couple of years ago. We had a customer that had looked at it several times and he came over one day with "Obama '08" stickers all over his daily driver (Taurus wagon). He made me an offer on the 911 and I politely turned him down. The thought of Obama stickers on our car was more than I could handle. It did finally go to a good family.
Comments: The only time I had a bumper sticker was in 1969 - no words, just a Peace sign. It was removed by persons unknown when we were stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington. I guess the concept was just too hard to understand.
Comments: Those are the people that have lots of causes and have 20+ bumper stickers on the back.. I saw more of those in Texas than I see in Tenn.. Those cars are very interesting but hard to read all the bumper stickers at the traffic light...! Barry, I'm not a Car/SUV bumper sticker 'snob'.. I have my Sierra and Inks Lake on the front window and my Lennon and Be Kind To All Creatures on the back bumper..along with my dying ACC sticker.. Of course, my red Mitsubishi Mirage is 10+ yrs old and has outlived any 'classy' description.. A 'W' sticker would look 'out of place' on my car.. I bet Barry had one of those...! 
Comments: I always worry about people that have bumper stickers all over their car. Whenever I see a car with an Obama '08 sticker, I have a strong urge to see how far my 2500 Duramax can move them from the roadway of life. I have 2 stickers on the back window of my truck-cute little redfish with CCA on them (Coastal Conservation Association). I think putting stickers on your car is asking for trouble, but I have yet run into any anti-redfish people. Barry
Comments: I like Palin...but I wish she would stop shooting wolves from airplanes... Really.. Change is still coming.. My Bumper Stickers: #1...Kerry/Edwards... Still like Kerry...Edwards has been bad...  I'll probably scrape this one off...soon.#2...John Lennon....Imagine quote.."Living in Peace", etc... #3...(Don't harm any living creature, etc)Can't remember actual quote...? Small window decal...Sierra Club and Inks Lake State Park(yay, wish I was there....) Nearly gone..Austin Community College decal.... soon to die.. ## I need a Native Texan...bumper sticker.. (There's room for more, but I've probably got enough)
Comments: Hmmmm. JS. Let's see -- Jerry Seinfeld (comedian) Jessica Simpson (music) Johann Strauss (classical music) Jerry Springer Jon Stewart Java Script Joseph Stalin John Stamos Jerone Squalor (Lemony Snicket) Jon Secada Jordin Sparks (American Idol Singer) John Sinnock (designer of Roosevelt dime)
Comments: My bumper sticker says: How's that CHANGE workin out for ya? John, thank you for your updates. Tell Dru I am still admiring her painting! It looks so great in our living room. Tonight "on demand" we watch the Wolfman with Anthany Hopkins....ha! New twist on old fantastical story.
Comments: Well, Dru and I made it thru all 7 hours of "Avatar" (or so it seemed). I'm sure most of you came away with the same take on the movie as I did. That, being, why do so many movie heroes bear the initials "JS" [ie: Jake Sully in the case of Avatar]? A mere coincidence? I think not. More like a law of nature.
Comments: Okay...Sam...You're off the hook on the 'W' decal....anyway... but that's all...!
Comments: No "W" decal on my car. I was never a big "W" fan. I just couldn't support "Mr. Internet". Something told me he would someday claim he created the internet, and save the world from climate change, and sure enough he took the credit for both. He's probably got some oceanfront property in Arizona he'd like to sell. Wait, that's Kipper's now, and it's in California, and she'd probably sell.
Comments: Does that mean that all you people that take the approach that 'W' is a victim..does that mean that you are also some of those people that 'sported' one of those 'W' decals on your car or SUV...as the case may be in Memphis and Germantown...? Oh, my goodness...I am so disappointed in 'you-all'... if.. you-all (southern talk for ya'll) had those decals on your SUV's...! 
Comments: Thanks Ginger, for mentioning the passing of Anita's Mom. Anita is doing fine. She had Alzheimer's so Anita felt like she'd lost her Mom some time ago....and Anita's at peace with her passing. None-the-less, it's hard for all us when we become orphans. Everyone have a great day.................Now, let's move on and find something else to blame "W" for....or not.
Comments: Sam's wife, Anita...lost her mother, not too many hours ago.. She was in a home with hospice for 2 months..You can go to the 62 site and read. I believe it's mentioned on FB, too...
Comments: That's right...Kathleen..You know...? We're not 18 anymore...! I can't do what I did when I was 18, 25, 35... My Senior(as in old age) friends have dances, all the time (every Saturday night). I stopped going because of the back and hip problems.. And there were 'some idiots' there that would swing women around like they were a sack of potatoes..One woman was swung/ slung (take your pick) across the dance floor and the 'idiot' caused her to break a wrist and bones in the other hand.. It's not worth it.. That man has gone to his reward.. Thank goodness, he's not slinging any more women. I don't see a problem in being truthful...We're not 18 anymore...! And as long as I can, I'll stay busy.. I knew a woman that played the organ at a Baptist church..here for 30 yrs +. She had rheumatoid arthritis(may still be living). She kept doing this to keep active, she loved music, and it kept her fingers from going totally...crippled.. Life goes on... and then it will stop....for each of us.. Namaste....all (and Sam). 
Comments: Ginger, I am sure you are right about not being the only person who has degenerative disk problems. A lot of us have serious health problems. Lynell talked about her nine hand surgeries. (All I can say is she certainly gave the doctor enough chances to fix the problem). Some of you have posted about hip and knee surgeries. I had one person email me that he no longer went to SOC events because he didn't want his friends to know how seriously ill he really is. ( He is someone all of you know). Although most of us never mention our health problems on the website, I am sure a lot of us have them. I would hope that we could all show some empathy toward our classmates who are having health problems Congratulations to Ginger, at least you are volunteering, active, and trying alternative ways of keeping healthy.
Comments: My goodness. I missed range of motion and balance problems, falls, crutches, ankle problems, a cane and spine injections. Just call the Scooter Store, they'll "hose" Medicare direct and it'll give you an excuse to dispense with the marathon training!
Comments: trying to reach tanya cowley leverette with a messegs Jeannette schafer austin's sister janice talley passed away 6-10-2010 funeral at jaynes memorial chapel duncanville texas clint austin
Comments: Sam, you've always got a funny... I bet I''m not the only one out there that has degenerative disc problems... I first had problems 30 yrs ago..This past winter, I only had one weekend with problems standing up straight..! It is getting worse. The point in physical therapy and restorative yoga is to strengthen the muscles around the spine and hips... The discs are wearing out.. I walk and I walk carefully because I have a range of motion and balance problem.. I've been injured several times in falls..usually in our fine public school systems.. Several times with workmen's comp... They try to play everything down.. I've been on crutches once in Nashville for an ankle problem and a cane once, in Austin after a fall at school.. The cane may come back eventually, don't want the 'motorized scooter' thing.. Hope therapy, yoga, and probably spine injections will help for a while.. But you're still funny, Sam. Give you a subject and you're off and running...! It's tough getting old..!
Comments: Restorative, degenerative, physical therapy, disc problems, scoliosis, handicap placard. How can you drive anything more than a government sponsored electric scooter with all those conditions? What is that, wheel chair yoga?
Comments: I loved all those English teachers... Johnny was not nice to Miss Yium....as I remember.. It's too late to make up for that one.. Avatar is a good movie.. We saw it w/o 3D... The same for Alice in Wonderland..no 3D...I like Johnny Depp...but all us 'artsy', whatever people would... I went back to Yoga, this evening.. This is 'restorative yoga, for people with injuries, etc...Been playing hookey, a long time.. Since I'm in physical therapy for degenerative disc problems and scoliosis, I decided to venture back.. Also have a handicap placard for my car... I would think that Dru would have one of those..eventually... I have a VBS meeting tomorrow.. Working only one day, as a storyteller, but it's been a bunch of years since I've done that. Have a good Weekend ....
Comments: John, I hope you and Dru have a fine evening with Avatar, and that Lonnie has a winning discussion with Terry about putting Adrienne's poster in the living room. BTW, wouldn't the past tense of "slink" be "slunk." Miss Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce, Mr. Lllllloyd, Miss Yium; Help!
Comments: Jud, I took down the Adrienne Barbeau shrine two years ago and replaced it with the Marie Osmond shrine when she recently divorced. That only lasted 3 weeks til I learned Marie has 8 kids. Sidebar: Lonnie Harmon ('64) is the proud owner of my prized Swamp Thing poster. He was the winning bidder at an auction of donated prizes sponsored during their last class reunion. Dru sent me out today to fetch a movie from Blockbuster. I was to come home with "Shutter Island" or "The Wolfman" (as a fallback selection). BOTH were completely checked out! Then the Blockbuster clerk reminded me that "according to our gigantic Blockbuster database, you and Mrs. Southworth are the only remaining couple in North America who have NOT seen Avatar". So I slinked home with Avatar. Well-wishes go out to the Barry Gibbs household where his wife took a bad fall at home yesterday afternoon and broke her right wrist. |
