Sterling, that's interesting about Kai. She's getting "social." Hope you have also taught her stranger danger tho too! My, I think of Florida lately and just cringe!
Hey Jennyboone, good to see you again! keep in touch! Season two will be out soon.
I think Man In A Hurry is part of that season also!

April 18, 2005 - Msg 28296: Good evening ya'll! Stick around Daniel! I'm enjoying it more each day. Had a great weekend in Clemson! would love to retire there someday!!! But, as most farmers will tell you the only retiring we can ever do is to take the old pickum-up truck to the tire store!! Got to go thin my two peach trees and spray them now,so ya'll have a great evening and watch out for SPOT's tail. Hey SPOT supper sounds great I'll be there by 6:30 and I saw Otis and his mosaics last night and his dog wqas named Spot!! Are you his (imaginary) dog or are you Goober's tlaking dog?? Rocking easy is SC-Quiet Sam!
April 18, 2005 - Msg 28297: Oh yeah, we have, MDC! We've talked to her about that; read her a book called "Don't talk to strangers!" a number of times; and I've even taught her how to kick and yell "No!" should someone try to take her. We try not to scare her too much, but sadly, we have to teach her those things especially in this day and age. Don't know how well she would remember these things when she would need to, but hopefully she would never need to.
And yeah all those child abductions like the ones reported recently in Florida, were one of the reasons for my apprehension about letting her go to the party.

Hey Quiet Sam! I love your name for pick-up trucks - "pickum-up" truck! Adds a little more country spice to just regular old pick-ups like we have around here!:)

April 18, 2005 - Msg 28298: Hey, Sterling. I agree, it's tough that we have talk to little kids about such serious things, but it's necessary. I know of some parents who have gone a step beyond teaching the child to yell "No!" They have taught their child to yell "Help me! This is not my daddy (or mommy)." Sad, indeed, but it could save a life. I simply do not understand someone who could harm a child, and even more, I don't understand a justice system that will let those people back out on the streets - ever! OK, boom goes the soapbox.

Oh, I wish everyone on the porch could see what I'm seeing right now. The color, the variety, the profusion of flowers, it's all just beautiful. You know, God didn't have to make it like this. He could have just provided us with edible vegetation, drab and colorless, and nothing else. Instead, in addition to colorful and appealing edibles, we have all these flowers that are just beautiful, and don't really serve much of a purpose except to be pleasing to our eyes. As someone once said, "Ain't God good??"

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

All the trees, animals, sky, water, man, woman etc! Then it took the next chapter for us to mess it all up,
and the rest of the book for God to fix it!!" :)
So true, so true!

My daughter had her 4 year check up a week ago...she did so good...had to get boosters, etc..but she is drawing, etc on an almost 6 year old level! I was so happy and impressed. She drew a picture of me upside down in order for the Dr to see it..for it to be facing the Dr. I was amazed!

First and foremost, do you have a program like Ad-Aware, or anything that will seek out and alert you to spyware that might have been placed on your machine? If so, run it. If not, get it. You'd be surprised how much difference it can make.
Also, sometimes just going into "Tools - Internet Options" and deleting cookies and temporary internet files can speed things up noticeably.
You probably already know all this, but I didn't until someone told me, so thought I'd mention it.

These are perilous times, and for Catholics and non-Catholics alike, the pope is an important figure on the world stage.

MDC, you're sure right about a de-frag taking forever. I ran one once, and forgot to disable the setting that switches to screen-saver (I think that's what it was) and it kept doing its little thing, and each time it would make the de-frag start over. After about eight hours, I finally figured it out, disabled whatever it was, and the de-frag finished. I couldn't really tell that it helped the computer much even after all that, so haven't run one since then. My computer guru says unless you're on the thing all day, every day, it shouldn't build up enough data to need to be defragged.

My friend Henry is hanging in there, maybe a bit stronger today. One doc says he's too weak to consider treatment, another says differently. So, what to do? I think they're going to leave it up to him. Prayers, please.

April 19, 2005 - Msg 28313: Oh, ky girl, I forgot, didn't mean to not answer your question. Yes, I've heard of some instances such as you describe, when the pharmacist has personal, moral objections to birth control. I think that's his/her right, but am not sure they have the right to impose it on others. I think if there's another person in the pharmacy who can fill the Rx, then the objector could ask them to do it. Otherwise, I guess it's up to their employer, whether they want to risk losing business by continuing to employ the objector. Perhaps the objecting pharmacist should seek other employment in their field, rather than filling Rx's at the counter. I happen to be a teetotaler, so I have never applied for a job as a bartender, because I wouldn't want to make and serve the alcohol. Sorta the same thing, I guess.

Thought I'd make a little time to stop by and sit a spell.

Golly Bob Howdy has the weather been pleasant in these parts! Two weeks of sun and in the 60's everyday. Although, they are a calling for snow this weekend.

Dixie, Have some fun this summer.

Roomena, Glad to hear Henry is hanging in there. Continued Prayers.

pappa bear, I agree with you the news seems to be just chuck-full of bad news. And it is. But, the good guys will always win. Even during 9-11 after those cowards crashed into the WTC and all seemed hopeless there were men and women heading up those steps as thousands rushed down. They gave their lives to try and help or simply comfort people they had never knew and never met. I believe most of those who died that day trying to help were in their 20's and 30's. Well, I'm not quite sure if this is coming out right but Paul Harvey often quotes the old song, "These are the good old days." Again pappa bear, I hate to hear ya sound so down, don't give up hope.

One other little tidbit, I was told the other day that TAGS premiered on my birthday 10/03/1960. Does anyone know if that is the case?

He's about the same, just hanging in there. He related a story about a visit from an angel yesterday, while the pastor was there praying with him. He described the angel as a young man, wearing a blue shirt, and said the angel leaned down close, placed his two hands on Henry's face in a comforting gesture, then disappeared. Do I believe him? Yep, I surely do.

Dixie, that is so cute, about Muffy ringing the bell to go outside. I'll bet you had fun with her. I wish you were nearby so you could stay with the Plum while I go to Mongolia in July.

This morning I discovered why my jute footmat at the back door has been getting smaller and smaller. A squirrel is unraveling it, and hauling the shredded material away, presumably for a nest. I got my ever-ready camera, and got some really cute pictures. He/she is welcome to the mat. I'll get another one.

NASCAR fan are descending on this area.
Here's a new idea for you guys like spot, MD etc.
Go to www.maps.google.com and type in Phoenix International Raceway, Avondale, Az and you can get a birdseye view! Go a little south of the pointer arrow. If you click and hold on the photo,you can manuever around easier.

pappa bear about Davy Crockett. Would you believe that I know David Crockett? Yes I sure do. And yes he is a descendent. omething huh? I was excited! Him and his wife Peggy went to our church for a while. He's a retired pastor but then another church (that our church had started long ago) was in need of an interim pastor so he went to help out and they ended up calling him. We miss him but we know he's were he is supposed to be. We still see him around a lot in town, Fifth Sunday Sings, Associational Meetings, and all that good stuff!

Speaking of Texaco--You can trust your car to the man who wears the star. The big, bright Texaco star! Mama Mia, That's a spicy meatball! Does anyone ever remember eating 1-2-3 Jell-O? I loved that stuff, but they quit making it. The commercial for it had a bunch of kids telling about the various layers and which they liked best--the foam on top, the sauce (kid had a real northeastern accent--(sahce) or the jelly jammy on the bottom. My favorites were the foam or the sauce. I could eat those and leave the jelly jammy--it was a sort of rubbery Jell-O. Anyone ever eat it? If not, maybe that's why they quit selling it!
