Folks,

Found this gem for your entertainment.

Panda - Bring it on home to me.

Bill,

AMAZING!
Bet she sings in Church!
Would love to hear her do some Etta James, Koko Taylor or similar!

I've just realized the psychology behind the popularity of these type of "reality" genre shows....

They show that many of us have a talent. Just waiting to be discovered.

And through projected "Free Association," the viewer also believes that they are one also, just waiting for that big break.
I say, "Go for it!"

However-
All of us think we have a talent, but let's face it, there's some real weird ideas of "talent." Ya ever watch one of these shows all the way through?
{{{Shudder!}}}

I think my talent is procrastination.....

Best,

Scott

"Houston, We have a problem...."

The numbers that I posted do not match up with "real-time" now.
(Sometime around Jan. 4, 2016)

What that means is that there is a shifting of pages and post numbers due to some post removals.
Either through the person them self, (most likely...)
Or by Moderators.

Am I wrong?

Hmmmm...

How to avoid this problem??

Ideas?
---------------------

Got my Cap and Gown from one of yer mail-order eBay places yesterday....

Sumthin jes don't look right, color and all....
Guess I'll check it out Monday after part 1 of the Final.
---------------------------

Yesterday, after class, I asked the help of my past "Weather" Professor, who also teaches
ARC/GIS, to help me.

He sat and helped me for over an hour on the computer to prepare the maps that
I'll use in my PowerPoint presentation and in my written Thesis.

Yep, my weekend is planned....

I'm to meet with my Professor Saturday AND Sunday, on Campus, to work on this damned computer monkey business.....

I got four birds to kill with only 3 stones.
A 2 part Final, the PowerPoint and the Thesis....

ALL due by this Wednesday!

Sheesh!

Best,

Scott

Folks,

This one should tug at the heart strings.....

Hey I'm a Southerner by birth and let me tell you something. I've been introduced to some whacko religions through my youth. But if you ever want to feel the spirit of The Lord through singing, you find yourself in a black church on Sunday !!!!!! I use too...., as did Elvis Presley! Can I get an Amen. Lord it's a wonderful experience you will never forget! I love this lady's singing. I bet she got her start in church !

OK, Brother,

You just made ole Scotty remember a story....

When I was in my 20's,

I lived in Augusta, Georgia with a room mate named Rodney.

Well, Rodney's Mom was of the Pentecostal religion.
Rodney wasn't. Neither was his Dad. Nor I.

SOMEHOW, I got roped into attending a Christmas Sunrise Service with him and his Mom at her Church.

Now, mind you, everyone I'm talkin' about here is White.....

So, as we're walking up the steps to the Church, Scott, being "Gallant," not being "Goofus,"
Leads the way to open doors for his Mom.

We walk in and his Mom leads to the pews in front.
I look around.....
Where's Rodney?

After a few minutes, the Service begins.
Where's Rodney?

I'm sitting next to this white woman, whom I barely know, in the front pew, of a definitely predominant Black Church.....
Where the hell is Rodney? I SAW him get out of the car.....

The service began solemnly enough....

Then,
The MUSIC began!

Let me tell you that within a half hour, I saw folks standing on pews singing!
Where's Rodney?

I soon found myself singing words of old time hymns and adding backing vocals when I wasn't sure of the words!

One of the BEST Services that I've ever attended in my life!
And, where's Rodney?

Best Wishes to All!

Scott

"No, Rodney is NOT a 'McGuffin'...."


"Where's Rodney" to be revealed later.....Remind me, OK?

 

[AU24K]

Just received, via College email, from my Professor:

I am sending a mail to the class tomorrow after updating everything on D2L. The Finals will be open on Friday evening.
Thanks for bearing with me.

"OK. BRING IT!"

A Winner!

Many sayings and the lexicon of years ago are slipping from our grasp.

I think I started a Thread, some time ago, titled, Old Time Sayings.

Or something like that...

[AU24K]

Well, it certainly appears that I'll be moving soon.....

My Landlord, The BEST Landlord EVAH! Has closed a deal on property to build.

No basement for ole Scotty.....

So,

A little research has uncovered a position for a Locksmith at the University of Miami.

https://www.facebook.com/Get-Locksmith-Jobs-208599030830/?fref=ts

Huh? Really? How 'bout that? Scott looking ahead this time? How 'bout that?
(Should I apply?)

Yeah, I'm kinda "too old" to move again. I'll b*tch and moan about it, but.....
I used to be a mover with "Mayflower" moving. Some 30+ freakin' years ago....

Besides, what will become of the treasures that I've found and hoarded for the last.....
WHAT? 10 years?

BY God!
Let's put some in a tube and bury it. Somewhere!

And, RC, no worries about my Professor and our discussions....it was about help with computers....


I have a new idea to continue/Begin anew the clues for this Treasure.....
What are your thoughts?
Ahem!

The University of Miami.....

"YES! Isn't That what we were talking about, Al? Will you get on with it? Please"

"Whoa! Keep your pants on, Judge!.....
I'll bet a Grand you've heard that before...."

Humor is alive and well from my bunker!






They have a Great Bachelors Program in Psychology and with a
Veterans Administration Medical Facility close by, I'd bet that I could get an internship!

Maybe even a Scholarship or two!
(Not to mention Paid Tuition and books 'cause I work for the College!)

Movin' On.....




But, First, I must achieve this current goal.....

"Movin On"



[Intro]
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
And I'll never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.

[1st Verse]
Movin' on,
From town to town.
I'm alone,
On my own.
All my life,
When I been movin'.
Don't know why,
Just gotta go.

[Chorus]
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you and I just gotta go.

(Guitar lead solo)

[Repeat Chorus]

[2nd verse]
One day soon,
I'll stop my searchin'.
Find a girl,
Hey and settle down.
Don't know how,
But I keep movin'.
Lot's of places,
I've never been.
Final chorus -
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.

Scott having lived/survived Miami bro it's a different culture. Might want to start learning Spanish YESTERDAY! Wow bro I'm stuck here.....every closed door opens a door but ....PM e brother..... Please! I know you love those mountains. I survived Hurricane Andrew. I sent my family to Virginia. It devastated us. Once again I lost everything. In 05 I stepped off a C17 after 6 hard months in Afghanistan, went straight to awaiting helicopters and flew to Hurricane Katrina relief. It too was a hell of a war zone. Not to discourage you at all. You know I love you like my brother, we face natural enemies here. Can my Scotty put HIS happy place where he seeks solitude in his rear view mirror? I love ya man. Please PM me

 

[Togreenfeet]

Speaking to our former subject, and watching Scotty's post. Sit down y'all this is funny....,, I was raised Southern Baptist, which later somehow was switched to Pentecostal Holiness. I may have told this before. Now I don't believe religion should scare a fella. When I was young and people got to singing and dancing, I loved that but when they spoke a different language, well now that just plain ol scared me. I couldn't figure out how my parents (dad) could make us go to church 8 days a week, and be as evil as he was. So fast forward. I ran away from him home at 16 years old, September I think it was of my senior year. I would make my way back and get my 1975 Chevy K-5 Blazer . Ok so everybody knows the rest. My best friend I would sometimes hang out with was a boxer. On occasion he would let me sleep upstairs at his dad's shoe store. So he tells me he has a big fight coming up would I like to go to the fight ? Sure but I don't have any money. Don't worry, we'll take care of you. Great. I went with him and his dad and brother to V-Tech for 3 days of boxing. I had a blast. They were good to me. He won I think all 3 matches. So we go home. I had parked in his driveway. This was the last 3 -4 weeks of high school before I graduated and was off to the Army. His mom walks out with me and says "son, where do you live?" Across the mountain ma'am" don't lie to me I've been looking in your truck, you live in your truck don't you? I felt embarrassed but I was doing ok."yes ma'am" "not anymore," "get your stuff you can stay with us but we have one rule, you'll have to go to church with us " " yes ma'am sounds like a good trade!"

 

[Togreenfeet]

Well I didn't know that was 8 days a week!!!!! So my first day she says we are going to one of our favorite churches, we don't get to come here often. Yes ma'am. We walk in and boys my age had to sit right up front, under the preachers nose. As I'm walking in the church, I hear something and I say " Joey what's in them boxes?" " oh don't worry you'll be ok" No Joey what's making that noise in them boxes?" " oh that's rattlesnakes." RATTLESNAKES IM OUTTA HERE " " oh you can't leave, they'll think you're a nonbeliever ...... Joey I'm a believer, I believe I'm getting the hell out of here.....,.....so scared to death I sat that service out in the van. His mom eventually comes out she says" I didn't see you in service" how am I going to get out of this one? I have food, a place to sleep, a shower.. Ma'am with all due respects, I've been bitten by a copperhead once (true statement) and I'm not a fan of snakes. She smiled and says Glory be son, you have no fear.... Quotes some verse and says everything is ok we don't come here often!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ya go one of my darkest religious stories but it's funny

 

[bill from lachine]

2GF,

Kind of funny in hindsight but I can imagine not much fun at the time.....thanks for the stories.

For Scott
Joke of the Day

My advanced form of Meditation..........

1. Take a deep breath.

2. Picture yourself near a stream.

3. Hear the birds softly chirping in the cool mountain air.

4. Recall that no one knows your secret place.

5. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called the world.

6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall in the distance fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

7. The water is crystal clear.

8. You can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.

See? Youre smiling already.

Brother,

I think I'll be OK....

After all, "God looks out for stupid people and drunks."

I met for 3 hours today with my Professor, to work on the maps that I'll use for my PowerPoint.

I now have each layer complete!

Now I have to begin and place them in the Powerpoint.
I've just finished the "Brainstorming" of the order and the "patter" to accompany each slide.

Still have some work to do on graphs and such.....

I'm to meet him again tomorrow at the College....

And, actually, Part 1 of the Final is online now and must be completed by Sunday night at midnight.
Part 2 is on Monday.

Wednesday is when the Presentation and written Thesis is due....

Just takin' a break and checkin' in with my Friends!

Hope all have a Great Weekend!

Best,

Scott
