While I was listening to CD'S, reading and responding to my E-Mails this morning I became very sad.
First of all maybe I should explain who I am a little better. Some of you have read in my Blog, where I mention my EX, and also where I mention my Loss.
Truth; I left my Husband of over 40 yrs, in June 2003. Shortly after, I met a man that showed me more Love in the 22 months we were together than I had ever hoped for. Contrary to my Ex's account, he had nothing to do with my Divorce. He died in July 2005. I'm not asking for anyones approval, but due to a money situation, we weren't legally married. We had a very small 'Commitment' ceremony. I still refer to him as my Husband, because thats what he was.
Before he died he bought a DVD, and a CD of the 'Eagles' millennium concert. He loved their music. I was listening to the CD this morning. He had a memory that related to almost every song. The song 'Old 55' came on and I remembered the story he told me of listening to it on a head set, as he rode his Motorcycle, when he was Young,healthy, and full of life. Every line seemed to relate to the way he felt. I wish I had known him then....
I hope GOD lets Motorcycles in Heaven....
I'd like to think hes riding now, listening to his favorite music, Young, Healthy, and Happy again..........

There are Gremlins in my Computer.
A couple of days ago 'RODALE' wrote a post about waving a Magic wand, and changing Super Bowl Sunday 2006. What I thought he was asking was for us to respond with just how we would spend that day If there was no FOOTBALL. Which I did. Then, I wanted to go back and read what Others might write. But it's gone. Not only is that post gone, but everything Rodale has posted this month is gone. I went to 'VIEW ALL' and checked every page,NOTHING. "RODALE IS MISSING". First Gets, now Rodale. Whats going on here?.....Someone Please tell me...Barbara

Pollyanna posted her childhood memories and got me to reminiscing too.
I lived in the South and we didn't have basements. The houses were built up off the ground. Plenty of room underneath for us to play. Playing inside was just not an option unless the weather was bad. We built our own towns,cities,and homesteads, with roads connecting them. I can still remember my Brother telling me I couldn't live next door to him. LOL...Our Cars were flat Whiskey bottles we found discarded,mostly by my Uncles when they visited my Daddy. Blocks of wood were our houses,churches,stores,barns etc etc. Creative play, something you don't see these days.
We played 'Red Rover' too. that consisted of throwing a ball over the house for the others to catch as it came down the other side.
If there was no one to play with we played 'Pitch and Catch' with GOD...That was simply throwing the ball into the air, and God would surely throw it back to you. It was your job to catch it...I taught this one to my Grandson when he was small.
I also taught him how to go 'Doodle Bug Fishing'. First you find a doodle bug hole,then you find a small stick for a pole. Add a spider web line to the end of the pole, and drop it into the doodle bugs hole and he will grab it and stick to the spider web. Hes caught.
Doodle Bugs are strange creatures. If you gently drag your finger around the top of their cone, and say "Doodle Bug Doodle Bug, your house is on fire, go get a bucket of water". That dumb bug will come out and get caught every time. LOL...
Firefly's in a jar. Running to catch the end of a rainbow, only to find its always out of reach. Making a 'Sling Shot' and having a 'China-Berry' war. (This could be painful). 'Ten Can Alley',was a form of 'Hide & Seek'. We stacked ten cans in a pyramid, everyone had a stick, someone got designated as 'IT'. The cans were knocked over as hard as possible. IT had to re-stack them and then proceed to tag someone trying to knock them over again. I hated to be IT.
Its sad to me now that children can only relate to the latest video games.....Memories, glad I have them....Barbara

Thanks to all of you that complimented me on my Pic. It's not what I wanted to post on my Profile, but alas, it was the only head shot I could find in my files. It was taken at 'W.G.Shuckers' on River St. in Savannah Ga. We stopped for lunch about 2 p.m. after driving ALL DAY. My husband was showing me all the sites of his 'Youth'. I felt like I had been 'Rode Hard and Put Up Wet'.....LOL...I look better than that guys...Trust me....LOL...Thanks again...Barbara

I'm sure some of you have heard these before, some haven't. I think they are worth repeating.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not......Dr Seuss, from 'The Lorax'
Living on earth is expensive, but it does include a Free trip around the Sun everyday.
Some mistakes are to much FUN to make only once.
Don't cry because its over, Smile because it happened.
You may be only one person in the world, but you might be the Whole World to one person.
Remember, life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
On Aging:
How old would you be, if you didn't know how old you are?
The older you get the fewer things seem worth standing in line for.
Some people try to turn back they're Odometer.Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Eventually you will get to a point that you're not lying about your age, but Bragging.
for the ladies...
Life should not be a Journey to the grave, with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to Skid in sideways with Chocolate in one hand,wine in the other, body throughly used up, totally worn out, shouting "WOOO HOOOO, What a ride". .....
Hope you had a laugh...Barbara

'Tidy Whities-V-Horizontal Stripes'

Some might know this and some might not. When you take your clothes to the Dry Cleaners, about 90% of it gets washed. Yep, in a regular washing machine. Unless there's a label stating 'Dry Clean Only', it gets washed. I didn't know this, but then again, I avoid clothes with those labels, and always do my own laundry.
I took this job because I really needed something very 'Physical',something to keep my mind occupied, and tire me out, so I couldn't/wouldn't think. Meantime, I've learned a lot about people.
There's one woman (I've known her for at least 50 yrs), who washes her clothes before she brings them in. I asked her "why"? She said "I don't like to starch and Iron them". So I said "since they are already clean, why don't you just get them Pressed, with Spray Starch? That would be the same as 'Light Starch', and save you 30%". She seemed to be getting angry, so I dropped it. But heres what happens to her 'Clean' clothes. I put them in a bag,later I tag each piece with her name so they go into the wash/starch. I then throw them into a bin with everyone else's' clothes that are totally filthy. Some of the guys work with cattle, and have cow manure on theirs. Doesn't make since to me. My Momma used to say "To much money not enough Sense".
We have customer who deposit all their clothes, including plain white T-Shirts, to be washed and ironed, at $2.25 per shirt. WHY?
We do 'Wash, Dry, and Fold' also. You can really learn a lot about people doing their laundry. For instance, now when I see a male customer in town somewhere, I can say if hes "Tidy Whities, or Horizontal Stripes", or "Free Balling"...LOL..Ladies you know we've always been told that Horizontal Stripes tend to make you look Larger, right?..Makes me wonder about these guys who wear horizontal striped Underwear. Could it be they are trying to perpetrate an 'Illusion'?....LOL...
I don't mean to bore everyone with my totally unrewarding life. But......
Do you know where your clothes are, or have been?
Do you know why your laundry lady is smiling when you meet in Wal-Mart,K-Mart, etc,etc?
Thanks for letting me blog.....Barbara

I was Instant Messaging with a man I met on another site recently. A very interesting man. He told me that he was going to be close to my area on a certain day and he would swing by and we could meet for coffee. meantime, we are still talking, and another opportunity came up,and we planned an even earlier meeting, he was going to be very close for about a week, at a local campground. I thought this was great, because I could go there visit in a public forum, and leave when I wanted to. That was canceled due to lack of interest of the other campers. But he didn't cancel the other meeting, or confirm. So I waited. After the date passed and he was no longer in contact, I sent him an offline message, and asked him what had happened. I'm a very direct person, and RUDENESS tic's me off. This is what he wrote to me....
quote...."I sat down and looked at my motives. I'm not sure they fit what I heard you saying.You said you are not a 'Bed Hopper'. And that got me to thinking, maybe I was looking for something you did not desire."
I guess he was right, but this the same man that BLASTED other guys for taking a SEXUAL stance on the first meeting. Said he wasn't like that. What is it with GUYS....I Think I hate um.....Barbara

Saturday was my 60th B-day,and those of you that knew wished me a Happy one. Other than that, my Daughter in Tupelo, was the only other person.... Now remember I have 5 children,8 grandchildren,8 step-grandchildren,2 step-ggrandchildren,1 Sister,4 Brothers,& numerous cousins,neices/nephews. Not to mention the EX in-laws that claim I'm still part of the Family.... So much for Family. Not that I want a 'Big Deal' over it, but I did think my kids would CALL. I went to my oldest sons home yesterday,when I mentioned it to my Son & Grand-daughter,I could tell by my Sons face he had forgotten,but he tried to pretend he didn't. I told my Grand-daughter I was going to do the "guilt trip" thing on her for forgetting, and ask her to make it up to me by helping me with a project. What I wanted her to do was help me to get a decent 'PIC' to put on my profile. All she had to do was take the pictures, which she is very good at, and we could download them to my computer. Even after I told her I what I wanted, she couldn't or wouldn't get her nose out of the TV. Her Mom and Sister came home from Christmas shopping , and went immediately into the other room to 'wrap' what they had bought. I followed & tried to start a conversation. Didn't happen, they were to involved with what they were doing. At one point I said "Y'all aint even listening to me". They protested that they were but couldn't remember anything I'd said. I shut up and eventually wandered out, and they didn't protest that. I went outside with my Son, we talked for awhile, and I left. He tried to get me to stay for dinner, but I just didn't want to at that point. I'm not sure when, how, or why, I've gotten where no one cares for me. Did I raise them to be 'selfish'?
I'm having a 'Pity Party' today, but I'm a survivor, I'll get over it. I always do.....Barbara

A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks, in the sweetest little lisp between two missing front teeth,"Excuth me mithter, do you have Widdle Wabbits?"
The shop keepers heart melts, and he gets down on his knees to be more on her level. He asks in a childish voice,"Do you want a Widdle White Wabbit,or a Thoft an Furwy Bwack Wabbit,or maybe one like that cute Widdle Bwown one over there?"
She in turn, leans over puts her hands on her knees and says, "I Weally dont think my Python gives a Thit.".....
