Hello my darlings--again. (s i g h . . . ) another thread has been locked (No! You don't say!) It's the one titled "In defiance of censorship" and my, my, my, isn't that ironic? you know, if it wasn't so goofy, I'd get irritated about it, but I guess I'm getting used to this. How can we have an open dialogue if everybody has to walk on eggshells and be so dang worried about what they say?A forum is just that, and sure, sometimes people don't like what is said, etc... well, like the t.v. just change the channel or find something else to do. Anybody else out there have any thoughts about censorship on a topic about censorship? This takes the cake, frosting, and candles.
Did you hear about the blonde who went into the public library? She walked up to the counter, and the clerk asked, "May I help you"? The blonde replied, "Uh, yeah.... I'll take a cheeseburger, a large fry, and a diet coke". The clerk, startled, asked, "My dear, do you have any idea where you're at?" The blonde looked around, saw the rows of books and people sitting at tables studying. It dawned on her. She leaned forward, and said, "Oh, I'm SO sorry"! Then leaning even closer, she whispered, "I'll take a cheeseburger, a large fry, and a diet coke".
Oh I know, "I git putt me lorrie an the garriage an' chop veg a tables on the kit' bench" and so forth. Once upon a time a friend told me that English guys that go to boarding school/college prep all seem to have, uh, certain experiences. Truth? or fable?
Anybody out there who might know--Are there other 'connecting' type sites that are no cost, as well. My time is limited on computer today so if someone could answer soon I'd appreciate it it. Thx!
"Don't get on that ship! It's a cookbook! A COOKBOOK!" I also liked the one where the boy could wish for whatever he wanted, and it would come true. (He turned a neighbor into a Jack-In-The-Box). That was such a cool series for its time.
Hey there--I don't know if you noticed, or if I'm just not seeing it all, but there seems to be only a couple of us in this whole merry-go-round even in Oregon, let alone regionalize us. I have friends in Milton-Freewater, Burns, so I've traveled there in my day. (Used to go to the Roundup all the time. I thought LaGrande was going to be this kind of little cosmos-in-the-desert. What a surprise. I half expected to see Matt, Doc, and Miss Kitty walk out of the Longbranch Saloon. (ha ha ha). Very Western. Very quaint. I did have a nice visit, though. So what can we do girlfriend, to get this "Oregon" forum show on the dang road? Ideas?
Have you read some of Maya Angelou's poetry? She really grabs the moment, as you do. You are a very sensitive man, HRL. That, by the way is an ASSET. You'll get a real good lady, I'm sure. Best To You. (read m. angelou--it's good).
Hey, just wondering--why do you want to tell that you're pants are down? I mean I'm O.K. with it and everything, a little, you know, (O.K., A LOT ha ha). Did you need some air, getting a little crowded in there? I've heard a couple of things about you guys up North, big stuff, I;m told. Wassup cowboy?
I can't get this post off my mind. Concerned for the welfare of the dog. Really, really don't like the idea of having made a promise and not keeping it. Bad karma, regardless. Never-the-less, the best end result has got to prevail. Can the friendship if that's what it takes. Be ready for crap. Who are these people? I know circumstances aren't always what they appear, but it would seem you could use a new or different circle of aquaintances. You're a good looking, intelligent, nice gal. Get on the stick, girlfriend.
Oregon has some very specific policies and procedures regarding rescue animals. What is your agreement with the shelter? That's what you need to look at first. The other side of the coin, of course, is a promise was made. Sticky, isn't it? Will talking with them help? How important is the friendship? Do YOU feel that a promise must be kept? Anyone else reading this--careful on making those promises. Choppy water, folks.
Double album came out in the 1970's (vinyl). A good "retro" record shop would be able to find it for you. This was when she was singing at Ken Threadgill's bar in Port Arthur, Texas in the very early 1960's. Yup, I'm somewhat of a Janis historian. Awesome talent.
"I don't want your lonely mansion, with a tear in every room Don't want your lovely promises, beneath a haloed moon, And you think I could be happy, with your money and your name, And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game-
Silver threads and golden needles, cannot mend this heart of mine Oh I dare not drown my sorrows, in the warm glow of your wine You can't buy my love with money, I never was that kind Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
(janis joplin sang this in her very early days in Texas)
Hi Mac. You are so right on. There are quite a few (I'm one) who seem to have been born with this ultra sensitiveness about us, and even though we know that doing what you say and to follow your example would be best, it's hard. It's better now for me as I have had to pull myself up by the bootstraps and stop being so much a Mama's Boy whether I want to or not. Not everyone can be as resilient as you Mac, even though it's the righteous way. I'm a-workin' on it! Thanx for the post. Was good.
Wow what a perfect time for this post. I just talked with a very dear and knowledgeable friend this morning about this sort of thing. Self-esteem belongs to YOU. NO ONE can take it away, so don't let them. (but don't confuse ego with self-esteem. Not the same thing.) When we are weak or weakened by life's circumstances, it is easy to let someone get a "hook" in us and by so doing, damage us. This happens ALL THE TIME. It is the major cause of these losses of our self-esteem. Without being cynical or unloving, do not allow this to happen. Do not give up the precious possession of your own sense of worth and belonging in the world. I think you are a beautiful person, and so do many, many other people. Chin up, and straight on til Morning. You're cool. You're swell. Whatever is interupting your self-esteem needs to be tossed into the sea, forgotten. And nurture yourself. It's OK!
