Windswept Whispers-Connies Journal

I MISS MY FOLLOWERS........

2010-04-13T12:52:00.000-04:00

Since I combined my blogs into one over on Connies Place , I don't have the followers that I had on WW or Connies Photos.
I know there are some that visit and don't comment,which is fine, and those that follow with feed readers,which is fine,also.
But I miss the comments..

Is this selfish of me??..

You'll find me ....HERE......

2010-01-05T14:40:00.000-05:00

Hi-Thanks for stopping by.
I've merged my tag,photo and visit me blogs
into one and I'm over at CONNIES PLACE
come on over
Be glad to see you there. CLICK HERE

[I re-posted because the comment part was not there on the first one]

THIS IS HOPEFULLY THE LAST YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS BUT SINCE

THE ONE WHO HURT ME SO BADLY HAD TO POST HER SO-CALLED APOLOGY I MUST POST THIS IN RESPONSE.

I HATE THIS BICKERING BUT I FEEL I MUST HAVE MY FINAL SAY..............

I WROTE THIS IN HER COMMENT SECTION AND I WILL BE SHOCKED, TO USE HER WORD ,IF SHE PRINTS THAT COMMENT -SO HERE IT IS IN ALL IT'S TRUTHS.............

I thought you were my friend ,also Sugar.I have always been more than nice to you. Go back and check my comments.

This is what you wrote.

connie, saw you have a new blog for those that have past.
we already have a PET MEMORIAL, & also SILENT KEYBOARDS for bloggers passed on, if we get too many same type blogs, people will not come to any 1 enough. we need to have a central 1 for pets, & for people.... so that our beloved ones are not scattered everywhere.

And we have CALL FOR SUPPORT, for anyone needing support.
was just wondering why you wanted to start another one? do you feerl the ones we have are not adequate? perhaps we should change them?

You were saying that there were enough Memorial blogs and that I was somehow inferring they were not adequate. Don't try to smooth it over with your saying 'oh sorry you took me the wrong way.'Or gee sometimes people mistakenly take you the wrong way. Yes, I feel for you just like all of your readers..you live a miserable,lonely life.I get that ,but that should not allow you to just sit there in your chair and judge what I wanted or tried to do.Did I not send you everyone of my animations when you said you lost all of yours in a computer crash.. did I not share with you the group where I get all of my graphics so that you could best me in making tags..you can't sit there and say you 'asked' a couple of questions and they were took wrong.Oh, and I am insightful..enough to realize when someone is being downright rude and then acting like the poor innocent party so as not to lose her friends. You can honestly say I 'refused your olive branch? I did not..I said I was quitting journaling-that is all-then I deceided-NO-I was going to journal..whether you remained my friend or not.

Why I closed my 'Missing You' Blog before it even started and got so mad...

______________________________________________________________________________
DID I TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY LIKE THE AUTHOR SAID?
WAS I NOT BEING TOLD TO NOT HAVE ANOTHER MEMORIAL BLOG?
I WANTED ONE WHERE EVERYONE COULD BE THE AUTHOR AND POST THEIR OWN MEMORIALS.I DIDN'T SEE ANY HARM IN DOING IT, BUT I WAS CHASTISED (I FEEL) FOR STARTING IT.
AM I BEING TOO 'TOUCHY' AND TOOK THIS AS A CRITISISM, NOT JUST FRIENDLY BANTER??
I'M NOT SURE AND WOULD LIKE SOME INPUT ON YOUR THOUGHTS.
ON AOL I HAD A LOVELY MEMORIAL JOURNAL AND ALTHOUGH THERE WEREN'T MANY READERS ..IT WAS APPRECIATED FOR WHAT IT WAS.I WASN'T ASKING PEOPLE TO NOT VISIT THE OTHERS BUT THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENT CONCEPT .THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BLOGS OUT THERE AND EACH ONE IS UNIQUE UNTO ITSELF AND NOT TAKING AWAY FROM THE OTHERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO GIVE UP ALL TOGETHER OR WHAT NOW.

I COULDN'T STAY AWAY LONG.......

2009-12-31T21:01:00.001-05:00

BUT I WILL ONLY HAVE ONE BLOG, FOR NOW AT LEAST,
THAT I WILL DO MY TAGS,PHOTOS AND WHATEVER ON
HERE IS WHERE I'LL BE-HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE...

http://visitconniesplace.blogspot.com/

RE:NEW BLOG.......

2009-12-30T15:21:00.001-05:00

I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT THE "MISSING YOU" BLOG HAS BEEN DELETED ,AS I WAS REMINDED THAT THERE ARE OTHER BLOGS FOR THAT.
WHILE I'M AT IT ,THERE ARE OTHER BLOGS FOR TAGS AND PHOTOS AND CHIT/ CHAT SO..
I WILL NO LONGER BE ONLINE FOR ANY OF THAT..
I WILL LEAVE IT ALL TO OTHERS MORE CAPABLE THAN ME...
TA-TA!!!!

New Guest over at the Secret Garden....hope you visit to see who it is.
Feeling bummed out myself right now,
My dear friend Mary called the other day and informed me she has Leukemia and glaucoma and isn't doing very well.

Then hubby found out his dear friend, Dick, took a fall and has bleeding on the brain and had a bad stroke.
So am sending prayers to God for them.

Am missing my mom ..but aparently she doesn't give a crap about me (nothing new there)... and our daughter out in Colorado is sticking with mom on the battlefront--so am feeling somewhat sad at this time of year.
But Bob and I are in fairly good health-so we've got that at least.
Santa was going to bring this ole broad a fancy-dancy camera this year...
almost..then the Docs told me they are running some tests and what the co-pay is going to be which is about $500.00 so.............maybe next year,LOL

ARE YOU HAVING A BAD DAY..COME SEE HOW THIS LITTLE ANGEL SPENDS HERS

I was doing dishes and saw the turkeys parading down
from the woods so,of course, I grabbed my camera.

It was really windy and the door kept hitting against me and
I still had the door open and Miss Nala and CC squeezed out

Twas The Month Before Christmas......

2009-11-15T17:39:00.003-05:00

Animation By Connie

The following I recieved in an e-mail-just had to share

Twas the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*See the PC Police had taken away,*

*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*

*You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*

*So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'*

*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,not Happy Holiday !*

Please, all Christians join together and

wish everyone you meet during the

holidays a

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

If you agree please pass this on, if not, simply ignore

and let the rest of your life be deceided by others..

I don't care who said it...........

2009-11-12T17:32:00.003-05:00

I just heard on the radio that these were from Abraham Lincoln.
I loved it so I ran to look them up on the internet so I could
post them.It says it was not quotes from Lincoln...
But whoever said it ...I don't care..

So what do you think????

The Ten "You Cannots" Abraham Lincoln Did Not SayStatement
There is a list of ten statements beginning with "You cannot .. ."
that are popularly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, (1809 - 1865)
Sixteenth President of the United States.
They sound so wise and so much like things he would have said
that they are frequently quoted and attributed to him in print.
They are:

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong

You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's

initiative and independence.

You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.

You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.

You cannot establish security on borrowed money.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them

what they will not do for themselves.

****************************************

But alas! Lincoln did not say these things.
They were written in 1916 by the Rev. William J. H. Boetcker,
a Presbyterian clergyman and pamphlet writer. In 1942, a group
called the Committee for Constitutional Government gave out a
great many leaflets entitled "Lincoln on Limitations" that contained
on one side a real Lincoln quote and on the other side the 10
Boetcker statements. Boetcker was credited with his statements
on the leaflet, but their proximity in print to one real quote by
Lincoln, plus the title of the leaflet, led people to think that
Lincoln had said the ten listed statements.
They were repeated in many printed sources, and are still
regarded by many as authentic Lincoln quotes.
Carl Sandburg, Lincoln's most famous biographer, dismissed
them as spurious.

I am confused about the links on others blogs.
I went to visit Lori on 'Dusty Pages' and went to leave a
comment and I saw links to her post and saw
Windswept Whispers 'Next Blog' , my last entry as a link.
I did not leave it there, so how does it get there?
It said create a link under it but neither did I, nor would I know how.
Just wondering. I am a little backward....

...and I thought snakes were the only thing I am terrified of........

2009-10-26T09:50:00.002-04:00

I have never been terrified of doing dishes before...

But lately -I have been....

It started with letting my dogs out to their potty

kennel...and hornets would try to get in the door..

Then I noticed they were going in a crack at the side of the exhaust fan beside the door...so after putting up with this for awhile..I started seeing them in the kitchen.

I began to watch the door like a hawk to make sure the darn things weren't slipping in.

I had my dogs neurotic...'hurry get in'...'hurry get out....'

Then more and more would be in the kitchen,so I went hunting with a flashlight and they were coming in butt/first through a tiny crack at the side of the exhaust fan above the stove..So, I taped foil up to it...

but still they were STILL getting in..Hubby went out and tore the nests out of the exhast cover outside'

I had bought four foggers at the dollar store(Big Mistake) as soon as he pressed the button on the first one it broke off.

The next ones button didn't stay down to fog while you went elsewhere...so he held it there until it all sprayed out.He held a large piece of cardboard up so the stuff would fumigate throughout the insulation.

But my gosh...they were still getting in.
I feared even going into the kitchen..even if I didn't see one ..soon I would hear the familiar buzzzzz...
so I'd duck and run and grab the flyswatter....

Well,we hadn't seen (or heard) any in a couple of days and the grandsons were spending the night...they are terrified of them from a couple years ago when they both got nailed really bad here...sooo last eve we came up from the family room and I see something HUGE flying around the lamp and buzzz-buzz...
I told the boys to go upstairs until I killed it...
but poor guys were scared to go to sleep.......

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

This one is not my picture-
I got it from the internet!!

MY TAG was picked for the cover page for the month of October

2009-10-17T14:26:00.002-04:00

Which is really cool since that is my birth month also.
CLICK HERE to view the winning tag.
I must admit there were only 6 entries and 5 were mine,LOL
But there are 81 members in that group and we were allowed
to submit up to five.So,I quickly did 5 within about an hours
time.Figuring mine weren't good enough.Especially with so many members.
To my surprise,and I'm sure the mods,there was only one other person
submitting an entry. How sad is that...So..my bragging rights are diminished
by that fact...but hey..I'll take the win in my column....LOL

SOMEDAY

2009-10-15T10:01:00.001-04:00

I put together this tag to go with
an e-mail forward I received.........

A friend of mine opened his wife's
underwear drawer and picked up a silk

paper wrapped package:

'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.'

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.

Well, I guess this is it.

He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral home, his wife had just died.

He turned to me and said:

'Never save something for a special occasion.

Every day in your life is a special occasion'.

I think those words changed my life.

Now I read more and clean less.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

I spend more time with my family, and less at work.

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to,not survived through.

I no longer keep anything.

I use crystal glasses every day...

I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions,

I use it whenever I want to.

The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary.

If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.....

I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she

wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell.

I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.

She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels.

I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favourite food.

It's these small things that I would regret not doing,

if I knew my time had come.

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

If you got this, it's because someone cares for you
and because,probably, there's someone you care about.

The tribute to Al Martino has a mind of it's own.
I posted the 'Tried the omelet' post and instead
of it being the top entry ..the Al Martino is.
Also, the comment form does not show up under it
and I checked to make sure it was not disabled in the post options.
I even had another post that should have been
after the tribute about leaving a comment because the
comment thingy wasn't there.But it is taking top billing.....

Something strange about the whole thing.

I Tried The Ziploc Omelet...............

2009-10-15T06:13:00.003-04:00

First let me say-it apparently does not pay
to cut corners.
I bought gereric Freezer bags.Not Ziploc....
Then I made two omelets and the bags stuck
together at the tops and melted into each other.
I simply cut the tops with my kitchen shears.
Hubby said they were delicious.
I couldn't believe there was only two eggs in each bag.
When they were done it seemed like much much more.

Comment For Al Martino

2009-10-14T21:30:00.001-04:00

The comment form is not below the previous post.
I am adding a new post to allow comments for it.
Hopefully it will show up on this one......

RECEIVED IN AN E-MAIL

ZIPLOC OMELET

(This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together.

The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!)

Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag

with permanent marker.

Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2)

shake to combine them.

Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion,

green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa,

etc.

Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake.

Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.

Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes

[we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large

pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.

Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily.

Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets

involved in the process and a great conversation piece...

I received my Golden Buckeye card in the mail.

Hubby is now an 'old fogy'.
Hubby turned 62 yesterday.
Funny,he never got a Buckeye card in the mail.
We'll have to go to our library to apply for one for him.
I always get stuff addressed to me,like sweepstakes,
credit card offers,catalogs (even car part ones).
I don't enter sweepstakes, we don't EVER use credit cards
and the Ford garage works on my truck--NOT me!!!
Rarely is anything in his name..except bills....

Well,anywho..in 9 days I'll be the official 'old fogy' (60 yrs old)

"He's My Brother"

2009-08-28T12:47:00.004-04:00

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one

day and picked out a box of

tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy,

"Son, how old are you?" "Eight," the boy replied.

The man continued, "Do you know what these are used for?"
The boy replied, "Not exactly, but they aren't for me. They're for him. He's my brother. He's four. We saw on TV that if you use these you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can't do either."

They Walk Amoung Us-they really DO!!!

(( Received This In An E-mail-Thanks Char-Char))

True tales of dumb people

THEY WALK AMOUNG US - HONEST THEY DO.

NEW YORK resident, Kathy Evans, brought humiliation to her friends and family

when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance

on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'

Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question

and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use

of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host

Meredith Vieira, Evans was posed with a typically easy initial $100 question.

The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'

A) A Peanut

B) An Elephant

C) The Moon

D) Hey, who you calling large?

Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she did not

readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans,

as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief.

'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before,

but I have no idea how large they would be.'

Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50.

Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was

bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly

easy question, Evans still remained unsure.

'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans.

'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'

Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend

Betsy, who is an office assistant.

'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans,

wasting the first seven seconds of her call.

'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest?

B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'

Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon.

Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.

'Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.'

To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's

advice. 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright.

So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.

Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of

answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines,

Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.

'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the

too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with

your gut. So, let's see... I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'

Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath -

and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

Caution...they walk among us!

------------------------------------------------------

This one is equally unbelievable. (No comments needed!)

They Walk Among Us!

-------------------------------------------

*One day I was walking down the beach with

some friends when someone shouted....

'Look at that dead bird!'

Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where?'

They walk among us!
--------------------------

While looking at a house, my brother asked the

estate agent which direction was north because

he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning.

She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?'

My brother explained that the sun rises in the east

and has for sometime. She shook her head and said,

'Oh, I don't keep up with all that stuff.....'

They Walk Among Us!

--------------------------------------------

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria,

when we overheard an admin girl talking about the

sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach.

She drove down in a convertible, but said

she 'didn't think she'd get sunburned

because the car was moving'.

They Walk Among Us!

---------------------------------------------

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman

with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.

My friend said, 'Ouch! The chain must rip

out every time she turns her head!"

I had to explain that a person's nose and ear

remain the same distance apart no

matter which way the head is turned...

They Walk Among Us !

-------------------------------------------

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area and

went to the lost luggage office and reported the loss.

The woman there smiled and told me not to worry

because she was a trained professional and

said I was in good hands. 'Now,' she asked me,

'Has your plane arrived yet?'...

(I work with professionals like this.)

They Walk Among Us!

---------------------------------------

While working at a pizza parlour I observed a man

ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and

the cook asked him if he would like it cut

into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time

then said 'Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry

enough to eat 6 pieces.

They Walk Among Us!

And last, but not least:

Dumb as a box of Rocks

A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION
WE HAVE IN CONGRESS,TRUE STORY:

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function
where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the
opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him
a question with which he was most at ease.

'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect
a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?'

'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which
anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates,
that puts you on the track.'

'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi.

Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around
the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh,
'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you?
I must confess I don't know much about history.'

Sadly, not only do they walk among us, they vote, their vote
equals ours, and they also reproduce.

...anyway.....

I was planning on mowing today while Bob's at work..
but he didn't want me to mow on the hill while he's not here...
so I said I wouldn't...then he said wait till I'm here to do any of
the mowing.. you see there's a HUGE hornets nest in the barn and I ((ME-Connie)) forgot and parked the Toro right underneath it.
So guess I'll don my gloves and go get some trashy weeds out of the flowerbed.
I'd like to cut up some tomatoes and freeze them but ..well
there are nasty..nasty..snakes in the garden and I'm scared to go in there when no ones here.Well,actually they are in my flowerbeds too..so I guess I am taking a chance there ,also....
Bob offered to pick tomatoes last night but I didn't know if I'd feel like doing them up today...
Lord knows there's enough in the house to keep me busy for a thousand years.
But I'd rather be outside... we'll see...I'll probably do what I usually do..park my butt right where it's at right now and the time flies by....we'll see...anyway....

^^^{ JOKE FER YAS }^^^

2009-08-26T12:04:00.002-04:00

Joke fer ya--now you know I'm married to a hillbilly so this is not taking any offense to those there kinds of people--k??

Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'

The woman shakes her head no.

Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth.

As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.

His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

~~SORRY~~

Too funny not to share

Louisiana Ghost Story (true story)

This happened about 6 months ago on Louisiana Hwy 57, just outside of Dulac, a little town in the bayou country of Louisiana, and while it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's real.

An Ohio businessman, Saul Rubins, abandoned his disabled vehicle on the side of the road, and attempted to hitchhike. The night was pitch dark in the middle of a thunderstorm. Time passed slowly and no cars went by. It was raining so hard he could hardly see his hand in front of his face.

Suddenly, through the sheets of rain, he saw a car slowly approaching and appearing ghostlike in the rain. It s-l-o-w-l-y and silently crept toward him and stopped.

Desperately needing a ride, Saul jumped in the car and closed the door. Only then did he realize that there was no one behind the wheel and no sound of an engine to be

heard over the rain.

Again the car crept silently forward and Saul was terrified, but too scared to think of jumping out and running. He saw that the car was approaching a sharp curve and, still too scared to jump out, he started to pray and beg for his life; he was sure the ghost car would go off the road and into the bayou and he would then drown!

But just before the curve, a shadowy hand appeared at the driver's window, reached in and turned the steering wheel, guiding the car safely around the bend. Then, just as silently, the hand disappeared through the window and Saul was alone again.

Paralyzed with fear, Saul watched the hand reappear every time they reached a curve.. Finally, scared nearly to death, Saul had all he could take, jumped out of the car, and ran to town.

Wet and in shock, he went into Schmoopy's. Still shivering in fear and voice quavering, he ordered two cups of coffee, black, and then told everybody about his supernatural experience.

The room became silent and everybody got goose bumps when they realized Saul was telling the truth and not just some drunk.

About 30 minutes later two Cajuns, dripping wet, walked into Schmoopy's and one says to the other, "Look, Boudreaux, ders dat idiot what rode in our car when we wuz pushin' it in the rain!!!"

Psssst...

A visit with a fellow blogger

2009-08-22T10:31:00.001-04:00

I sorta stumbled upon a blog and was in awe of this lady..if I may I would love to post her post.We need to sit up and realize there but for the grace of God go I...her blog addy if you should wish to visit is; http://thesuitelifeoflucyandethel.blogspot.com/..here is her entry that had me in tears....

Back to School... Special I started out the day stepping on a slug with bare feet, which reminded me why I don't go barefoot around here. At least this slug was outside.
The rest of the day was actually pretty productive, other than failing at my attempt to return a phone to Walmart without a receipt. Seems they haven't carried those phones since MAY. Oops. I'll be looking for the receipt.
School here has been in session two weeks for students. Randy, who works in another county, reported to the first of the fun teacher meetings yesterday, and since school's revving up all over, this post I received recently seemed fitting.
It doesn't need a thing from me.

Where Are the Parents?By Sue Stuyvesant, Parent
Hey everyone. For those of you who don't know me (I'm only an occasional poster) I am mom to Michelle, 9 years old, microcephalic, athetoid/spastic CP, cortical visual impairment, seizure disorder -- and CUTE! OK, now for the reason I'm posting.
To make a long story short, earlier this week a question was asked by some nitwit official as to why there weren't more parents (of special needs kids) involved in the local PTA and other issues that have come up that directly involve our kids. His question, which was passed on to me was, "Where are the parents?" I went home that night, started thinking - and boy was I pi**ed - and banged this "little" essay out the next day on my lunch break. By the way, I took copies of this to the school board meeting that night, gave it to a couple of influential people and it WILL get around.............
Where are the parents?
They are on the phone to doctors and hospitals and fighting with insurance companies, wading through the red tape in order that their child's medical needs can be properly addressed. They are buried under a mountain of paperwork and medical bills, trying to make sense of a system that seems designed to confuse and intimidate all but the very savvy.
Where are the parents?
They are at home, diapering their 15 year old son, or trying to lift their 100 lb. daughter onto the toilet. They are spending an hour at each meal to feed a child who cannot chew, or laboriously and carefully feeding their child through a g-tube. They are administering medications, changing catheters and switching oxygen tanks.
Where are the parents?
They are sitting, bleary eyed and exhausted, in hospital emergency rooms, waiting for tests results to come back and wondering, "Is this the time when my child doesn't pull through?" They are sitting patiently in hospital rooms as their child recovers from yet another surgery to lengthen hamstrings or straighten backs or repair a faulty internal organ. They are waiting in long lines in county clinics because no insurance company will touch their child.
Where are the parents?
They are sleeping in shifts because their child won't sleep more than 2 or 3 hours a night, and must constantly be watched, lest he do himself, or another member of the family, harm. They are sitting at home with their child because family and friends are either too intimidated or too unwilling to help with child care and the state agencies that are designed to help are suffering cut backs of their own.
Where are the parents?
They are trying to spend time with their non-disabled children, as they try to make up for the extra time and effort that is critical to keeping their disabled child alive. They are struggling to keep a marriage together, because adversity does not always bring you closer. They are working 2 and sometime 3 jobs in order to keep up with the extra expenses. And sometimes they are a single parent struggling to do it all by themselves.
Where are the parents?
They are trying to survive in a society that pays lip service to helping those in need, as long as it doesn't cost them anything. They are trying to patch their broken dreams together so that they might have some sort of normal life for their children and their families.
They are busy, trying to survive!
Sue Stuyvesant 10/15/96: Permission to duplicate or distribute this document is granted with the provision that the document remains intact.
Sue passed away in October 2003. Michelle passed away a week before she was to turn 18 in September 2005.

REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house

with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind,

and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole

year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

Hellloooo,....... just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am

automatically stupid.

So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me

last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo?

I told him. It's been a year!

There was only silence at the other end of the line,

so I finally just hung up.

He never called back.

I bet he felt like an idiot.

A man entered a pet shop, wanting to buy a parrot.
The shop owner pointed out three identical parrots
on a perch and said, "The parrot to the left costs 500 dollars."
"Why does that parrot cost so much?" the man wondered.
The owner replied, "Well, it knows how to use a computer."
The man asked about the next parrot on the perch.
"That one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everything
the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to use the UNIX
operating system."
Naturally, the startled customer asked about the third parrot.
"That one costs 2,000 dollars."
"And what does that one do?" the man asked.
The owner replied, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a thing,
but the other two call him boss!"

(NOTE FROM CONNIE)-

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A TRUE STORY

AND I DON'T CARE-

THE MESSAGE IS IMPORTANT ANYWAY

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ ALL OF THIS

and HAVE CHILDREN READ IT TOO!

After tossing her books on the sofa, she decided to
grab a snack and get on-line.
She logged on under
her screen name ByAngel213.
She checked her Buddy
List and saw GoTo123 was on.
She sent him an instant message:

ByAngel213:
Hi. I'm glad you are on!
I thought someone was
following me home today.
It was really weird!

GoTo123:
LOL You watch too much TV.
Why would someone
be following you?
Don't you live in a safe neighborhood?

ByAngel213:
Of course I do.
LOL I guess it was my imagination
cuz' I didn't see anybody when I looked out.

GoTo123:
Unless you gave your name out on-line.
You haven't done that have you?

ByAngel213:
Of course not. I'm not stupid you know.

GoTo123:
Did you have a softball game after school today?

ByAngel213:
Yes and we won!!

GoTo123:
That's great! Who did you play?

ByAngel213:
We played the Hornets. LOL.
Their uniforms are so gross!
They look like bees. LOL

GoTo123:
What is your team called?

ByAngel213:
We are the Canton Cats.
We have tiger paws on our uniforms.
They are really cool.

GoTo123:
Did you pitch?

ByAngel213:
No I play second base.
I got to go.
My homework has to be done before my parents get home.
I don't want them mad at me.
Bye!

GoTo123:
Catch you later. Bye

Meanwhile... .....
GoTo123 went to the member menu and began to
search for her profile.
When it came up, he highlighted it and printed it out.
He took out a pen and began to write down what he knew about Angel so far.

Her name: Shannon
Birthday: Jan. 3, 1985
Age: 13
State where she lived: North Carolina

Hobbies: softball, chorus, skating and going to the mall.
Besides this information, he knew she lived in Canton
because she had just told him.
He knew she stayed by herself until 6:30 p.m. every
afternoon until her parents came home from work.
He knew she played softball on Thursday afternoons
on the school team, and the team was named the Canton Cats
. Her favorite number 7 was printed on her jersey.
He knew she was in the eighth grade at the Canton Junior High
School She had told him all this in the conversations they had on-line..
He had enough information to find her now.

Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident on
the way home from the ballpark that day.
She didn't want them to make a scene and stop her
from walking home from the softball games.
Parents were always overreacting and hers were the worst.
It made her wish she was not an only child.
Maybe if she had brothers and sisters, her parents wouldn't
be so overprotective.

By Thursday, Shannon had forgotten about the
footsteps following her.

Her game was in full swing when suddenly she felt
someone staring at her. It was then that the memory came back.
She glanced up from her second base position to see a
man watching her closely.

He was leaning against the fence behind first base and he smiled
when she looked at him.
He didn't look scary and she quickly dismissed the sudden fear she had felt.

After the game, he sat on a bleacher while she talked to the coach.
She noticed his smile once again as she walked past him.
He nodded and she smiled back.
He noticed her name on the back of her shirt.
He knew he had found her.

Quietly, he walked a safe distance behind her.
It was only a few blocks to Shannon 's home, and once he saw
where she lived he quickly returned to the park to get his car.

Now he had to wait.
He decided to get a bite to eat until the time came to go to
Shannon 's house.
He drove to a fast food restaurant and sat there until time to make his move.

Shannon was in her room later that evening when
she heard voices in the living room.

"Shannon, come here," her father called..
He sounded upset and she couldn't imagine why.
She went into the room to see the man from the ballpark sitting on the sofa.

"Sit down," her father began, "this man has just told us a most interesting story about you."

Shannon sat back.
How could he tell her parents anything?
She had never seen him before today!

"Do you know who I am, Shannon ?" the man asked.

"No," Shannon answered.

"I am a police officer and your online friend, GoTo123."

Shannon was stunned.
"That's impossible!
GoTo is a kid my age! He's 14.
And he lives in Michigan !"

The man smiled. "I know I told you all that, but it wasn't true.
You see, Shannon , there are people on-line who pretend to be kids;
I was one of them.
But while others do it to injure kids and hurt them.
I belong to a group of parents who do it to protect kids from predators.
I came here to find you to teach you how dangerous it is to talk to people
on-line. You told me enough about yourself to make it easy for me to find you.
You named the school you went to, the name of your ball team
and the position you played.
The number and name on your jersey just made
finding you a breeze."

Shannon was stunned.
"You mean you don't live in Michigan ?"

He laughed. "No, I live in Raleigh.
It made you feel safe to think I was so far away, didn't it?"

She nodded.

"I had a friend whose daughter was like you
. Only she wasn't as lucky.
The guy found her and murdered her while she was home alone.
Kids are taught not to tell anyone when they are alone,
yet they do it all the time on-line.
The wrong people trick you into giving out information a little here and there on-line.
Before you know it, you have told them enough for them to find you
without even realizing you have done it.
I hope you've learned a lesson from this and won't do it again.
Tell others about this so they will be safe too?"

"It's a promise!"

That night Shannon and her Dad and Mom all knelt down together
and thanked God for protecting Shannon from what could have
been a tragic situation.

Happy Anniversary To My Better Half

I found this neat little code that removes the navigation
bar from the top of your blog.
So I went merrily along putting the code on all my blogs.
Then I wanted to post some pics and guess what...
I had no way of getting to my new post...customize... nothing...
on ANY of my blogs..
I tried hitting the back button lots of times to get me back...
but that didn't get me there...
Thank goodness for History of todays visited sites...
I sure went back and got rid of that code.
If I use it on one it would be alright--I guess...but not
all of them...

Here's the code if anyone wants it but you are forewarned not
to do it if you only have one blog...
I always learn things the hard way,...........
