February 16, 2004 - Msg 19403: Happy Birthday, pipeman! Many more! I been gone a couple days. Been busy. I'm glad valentine's day is over too! All them flowers made me sick. It started when my mom gave me a bouquet of colorful flowers last week for my birthday. I'm allergic to flowers. I put them on my porch and they still bothered me. Then I delivered some roses to friends & family , then visited my grandma at the nursing home and someone had given her a mum. It just never ends---anyway, my Vicks jar has been working overtime and I'm feeling pretty crummy. Fixed my sweetie some Mr. Food barbecued chops for dinner Fri. night and also a pumpkin pie. Celebrated Fri. cuz I had to chaperone my son's dance on Sat. Guess where I ended up! Next to a bucket of carnations they were sellin'!
Kids are out today. Better get some lunch together. Who won that there Daytona anyhow?

On a personal note, I just found out last night that a good friend has an incurable form of cancer. I would like the porch to keep her and her husband in your prays.

I just love to spend a little time here, and listen to you all talk. Such good friends. MDC, I believe you asked a while back if I was a night shift nurse. Yep, that's me. 12 hr shifts, too! I like it, though. I only work two nights a week, and if I can schedule them together, especially on Monday and Tuesday nights, I get it all over with quick-like, and the rest of the week is mine.

Speaking of The Passion, I do wish folks would let all this furor die down, about folks blaming the Jewish people for Christ's death. I suppose it's a valid fear, though. The Jews have endured so much at the hands of people who have such a short-sighted, twisted view of things, and I suppose there will be some who will totally miss the point, and focus instead on blame and hatred. While that particular group of Jewish leaders may have instigated His death, they were actually carrying out God's plan for providing redemption for themselves and for the rest of us as well, whether they knew it or not. That's certainly no reason to harbor hatred toward the Jewish people now, two thousand years later. Besides, there's one other glaring fact that makes hatred toward the Jews utterly ridiculous. Jesus was a Jew! How can anyone love Him and hate the Jews? Makes no sense at all.

Well, sorry about the soapbox, friends, but that's the way I feel and I just had to say it. Now I need to go get some sleep so I can go back to work tonight. Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

What Religion is Your Bra?

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in
every shape, size, color and material imaginable.

"Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer? Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them.

The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite
simple...The Catholic type supports the masses,
the Salvation Army type lifts the fallen, the Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, and the Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills."

So, the doc just closed me up and said "unh-uh". So now I have to see some other specialists to learn what the next step will be.

Sorry your still ailing. I know what you mean about that snoring. I hate sleeping with my mouth open all night cause my nose don't work.
I will pray for your Father in law Charlotte. My Dad is every bit as stubborn. If he would have gone to his Doctor when he first started having problems he most likely would not have ended up in the hospital. But I can't blame him cause I hate going to the Doctors too. What can you do?
BTW, He being from England didn't go into the hospital, but rather just went to ospital.(the H is silent) LOL
Enjoyed your site Goober and the review was very good. Sure seems odd how Hollywood can put out the garbage they do non stop and never a peep, but let a film that might be Biblical come out and all heck breaks loose. Go figure that one.

I can't understand why people think they need to picket and protest, etc. Here's a concept: Just don't go to the movie. Nobody's forcing them. It's not a movie that personally appeals to me, so I won't go. But there's apparently a lot of people that do want to see it, so to each his own. That's my opinion (for those that care).

Hey Boo, you got any vicks I can borrow for tonight? I seem to have run out.
Also, over at Miss Crumps. A post under the name Sheldon shows a little baby Doxie in a hot dog bun. That little pup is the splitting image of my new baby Barney. If you get a chance, go take a peek at him cause I ain't ept enough to know how to post his picture. I swaer they must be twins as much as they look alike. It is under a thread on hotdogs.

And you'll have a record that you survived her childhood! Hey MDC, your comment about Mr. Foley needin' help reminded me of the ep when Gomer is going to try to get a job as an experienced butcher. Andy says, "You got any experience cuttin' meat?" Gomer says, "No, you think they'll ask me thet." LOL! That's a good 'un. The look on Gomer's dumbfounded face is priceless!

Asa, I am going to check out "Barney's twin" soon as I get off the porch! I bet you are having a lot of fun with little Barney.

Charlotte, I remember that episode too, imagine a body needing experience to be a meat cutter!? LOL

I think Hazel's got the right att-itude about that movie coming out. It may not appeal to all, but trust me, I don't think there has EVER been a movie that appeals to all! By the way, that movie comes out on the birthday of a great American--me! I don't know if I will go see it immediately though, I am not one at all for crowds, especially if I might be crying and all!

MDC: da da da BATMAN!

My prayers go out for Charlotte Tucker's dad, and Asa's dad, and Goober's dad, and everyone's friends and family members that may be ailing right now. May God's healing power and His great comfort be with every one of you.

Not much goin' on here at my end of the porch. Good news though - it's supposed to be close to 70 today. I guess I'll suffer through the 40 mph gusts of wind and enjoy it a little bit. Hope everyone on the porch has nice weather today.

You know, I am happy abou the Passion movie because I think it will make alot of folks think and maybe understand how much God loves them. Even though I really want to see it, I feel a little like I did the first time I rode on The Texas Cyclone. I was in high school and we went to Houston, to Astroworld to ride this huge new roller coaster. I had been waiting for weeks to ride it but as I stood in line I had some giant butterflies in my stomach. I almost changed my mind at the last minute. That's how I feel about the movie. I want to see it but I am also afraid to see it. Anyone understand what I mean? I know it will hurt but hopefully will make me see things in a deeper way.

Better go see what my daughter is getting into. You are right Charlotte, I need to be writing down all the escapades she is involved in!

February 19, 2004 - Msg 19490: Hey, everybody! Been busy out in the yard with my landscaper friend. He had 11 yards of a special mix dirt delivered and dumped on my driveway at 10 this morning. By 4 this afternoon, it's all in the back yard, placed and spread. It's a blend of sand, dirt, well-composted manure and a little peat. It's beautiful! He filled the new rose bed with part of it, and the rest was raked and broomed across the whole yard, so all low spots and little holes are filled, and it was contoured and sloped as needed to get the drainage all going in the right direction. Looks like a moonscape right now - very little green showing - but in a couple of weeks the grass will take possession again and it should be lovely. Next step is to choose and purchase the rose bushes. Lots of careful thought going into that. I'll be needing Mr. Wheeler from time to time, I guess, to help me keep the aphids at bay.

About The Passion, if it's true that someone is trying to block it in court, that could be a blessing in disguise, if their complaint is the violence. Block that one, buddy, and we'll see how far that can be carried. Just try to market another chainsaw movie! I doubt, though, that any attempt to block this movie will succeed. Hazel, you're absolutely right. It should be a matter of personal choice, and if someone doesn't want to see it, that's easy. Don't go. That's what we're always told about all the filth - well, it applies here just as well.

I'm tired. Have been shoveling dirt into a wheelbarrow all day, and I'm tired. It's a good tired - do you know what I mean? I absolutely rejoice in the fact that I CAN still shovel dirt and not even breathe hard. My landscaper friend kept telling me I didn't have to, that they'd take care of it, but I finally convinced him that I was enjoying it, and I really was. Now for a hot shower, a good supper, and a little TV. The Plum needs a cuddle, too.

Oh, Asa, I've seen that little hotdog picture, in fact I saved it into my "Awwww" file. If Barney looks like that, no wonder you're in love. What an adorable little feller! As for the housebreaking, beats me! Even the illustrious Plum has her moments, and I could pinch her little head right off. Repet-ition, patience and perseverance, I guess. A trip to the paper or outside immediately after each meal, or after a nap, or about every hour whether it's after something or not - that's all I can suggest. As he gets bigger and his bladder matures, the intervals can get longer and longer, but right now, he's gonna piddle reeeal often!

Have a great evening, friends! Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

That Lucy/Desi movie is called The Long, Long Trailer, and one of the guest stars is none other than our own Floyd the Barber, Howard McNear! Hey Romeena, that dirt pile you told us about brought back good memories for me. When I was a kid, my daddy bought a dump-truck load of dirt, and it was dumped right flat in the middle of our front yard. Before long, me and my brother and our neighbors had our Hot Wheels® cars and tracks out, makin' tunnels and such in the dirt, and just havin' a GOOD ol' time! I wish I had some of those original Hot Wheels® cars now though; they're worth quite a bit on eBay! :-)

Most movies I see nowadays I think to myself "yeah, ok. blah." And I'm not very impressed with the content. I just hope I'm not expecting TOO much from this movie, when I do see it.
One movie I have seen recently that I didn't think I was going to like, but I did anyway, was called The Way Home. It is a Korean film about an old mute Grandmother who takes care of her spoiled, bratty Grandson while his mother goes away to look for a job. I won't say too much, but the patience that that Grandma shows to her ungrateful Grandson is simply staggering. And there is a lesson in there for all of us I think. A good movie.

I've never heard of Johnny Carrino's. We have Johnny Carabbas... and Olive Garden. Well, frankly... don't care for either one of 'em - sorry Spot. Tastes like they just 'throw' some italian ingerdients together and call it italian food. Tastes fake to me. No love cooked into it at'all. I judge an Italian restaraunt by it's gravy (sauces). Big Jeff judges Chinese food by it's shrimp and lobster sauce.

Opie judges Chinese restaraunts by it's little paper parasols.

Ro, the yard sounds heavenly! I always loved the pink rose bushes that grow on a 'trunk', looks kinda like a big lollipop of flowers. I just LOVE roses. You surely must live in heaven-on-earth. And I sure do remember those orange HotWheels tracks. Perfect for whoopin' the tar out of someone. Thanks for that trip down memory lane. Asa, I saw that hot dog picture, too. What a little cutie you got there. Sure hope he grows out of the messy phase though. The only weenie dog I knew peed anywhere he happened to get excited. If you came home, he pee'd. If you gave him a cookie, he pee'd.

I had many Barbies including a couple of the dark haired, slant eyed ones. Every birthday and Christmas every gift somehow ended up as part of my Barbie town. Miniature things were great. Once I won a little mailbox that looked like the red and blue real U.S. mailboxes at a PTA carnival. It ended up right on the "street" for my Barbies to use. My cousins and I would've had our Barbies hiking in the dirt too. They swam in the creek and we dropped 'em from a treehouse into a horsetank of water below. They led full and exciting lives! My Mom built a huge single-dwelling house and a three-floor apartment building for me from cardboard boxes, carpet and wallpaper scraps. Those houses were better than any $100 plastic stuff they make now. Enough of my rambling. Glad to see Ed Sawyer, Spot, Fungirl, Rafe, AFD, and Mary Wiggins show up.
