CRISPINS CRITTERS

My 9 y/o grandson was born 3 months early. He weighed 1 pound. He was in the Neonatal ICU for 3 months. Several times the family was called together to say good bye. He is my best friend. I am his biggest pal and protector. We knew there would be developmental issues and there are. I hate labeling children. It wasn't until the second grade did he decide he was left handed. Remember he failed kindergarten, but they waited until the last semester to make that determination. School is hard for him. I am his teacher, his advocate, his mentor. I go to bat for him. I do homework with him when he breaks pencils because he don't want to be there. I take him to tutoring. I am the face his school knows...... His dad when he was around use to slap him in the head homework time. He tried it in front of me I grabbed his hand said if you touch that child, I'll break your arm!!!!!! He is dyslexic. He has dyscalculia....... I'm tired of being nice to his teacher. One damn thing I'm good at is research. I'm about to let his school, his teacher and the principal have it!!!!!!!!! Sent a note home last night quiz tomorrow on 5 times tables..... SORRY YOU CANT DO THAT WITHOUT PREPARING HIM!!!!! Damn school system what's their purpose? Stump the dummy ? Ok we can play this game, not my boy....,,,,,,,,
Friend,

Your post got me to thinking of my childhood days in school.
Being left handed.
In the early 60's.

I came home crying one day,
because the Teacher said I am not allowed to write with my left hand any more.

Let me tell you that my Mom and I went to the school the next day and she demanded a meeting with the Teacher AND the Principal!

She said, "You leave my Son to write however he wishes to write!"

I was never admonished about being left-handed again! :thumbsup:

I went so far as to learn how to write with my left hand and draw with my right hand.
At the same time....

Anyway, I thought of my younger school days and dug deep.

WAY back in my files....

I found report cards from my youth. Nearly complete through High School....

While I was in Scott's archive, I found some stubs of concerts and such....
Sad. The Volunteer Jam I had a pair of tickets but no one to take.....

IMG_0663.JPG

I also found other past mementos,
Like the first time I donated 12+ inches of naturally curly hair to Locks of Love!

Here is an inventory of weapons I gave an auction estimate for a collector a few years ago.....

Sometimes,
Culling through the archives is pleasant; Remembering the past.

Sometimes,
It can be painful....

My Mom's original Birth Certificate.

I'm sure that further search in the "archives" would produce her Death Certificate and I should discontinue further perusal at this time.


Ah!
Ticket stubs....
Steve Miller, Styx & REO or Heart in Topeka,
where Phred Phelps and his clan were protesting.

I'm sure I've told the story before.....

We rode in to Topeka on my Bike.....
Back in 2000....

OK.

Heart it is!

For Carol.

I miss you....


(Play that Ovation, Girl!)

My Best Wishes,

Always,

Scott

Scott, that is a good thing to do sometimes. However I find thinking about my past leaves me feeling sad about the things I have lived through, so I usually try to only think to the future or the few happy memories I do have.
Thanks for sharing this.


Sent from a spun out toilet paper tube (one ply)!
 

A Manlicker ? Really? WOW???? A Dr asked me one time can you travel back in time? Well no..... He said of course you can....... Look at pictures, memories. Scott just took us back in time! RC ears pop! Man that is hilarious........

My Friend,

However sad or painful the past may be, doesn't it show a better path to the Future?
Provide encouragement, wisdom, strength and guidance?

It should.
If you're paying attention....



Huh?
Yep.

CERTAINLY! :thumbsup:


Hope you are well, my Friend!

Best,

Scott

No child is stupid..... Like I always say no bad crews only bad leaders

An unique Scott Pictorial clarification...

A Boss. Or a leader....

bosses.jpg

Yeah. got an "A" in Anthropology.....
Y'all know me pretty well by now....

We can all be a boss, but.....
Who among you can be a Leader?

That's why I avoid the politics forum....
My opinions are so skewed, I'm not responsible for liberal heads assploding!

Perhaps discussion?
Like how "global warming" is inciting Muslim Jihadists?

REALLY?

Huh?

Ooops!

Sorry.

Seems there is a forum for such discussion. Somewhere else here....

Friends, lead me to the Patriot discussion!



My Bad.

Sorry.

Scotty

Dinner.
You know what pasties are?
I made some pierogie sized. At least my poor interpretation of what a pasty should be, prep and content/ingredients per what's on hand,my wanting them fast and softer than usual ,and no beggie bein round really threw things off..
Anyway..

Potato,onion,carrot, ground beef,lots of fresh garlic.
Browned the beef and added garlic after reducing heat. Simmered the veggies/taters all cubed fine.
Cheated and used store bought pie dough. Cut out dough with a glass, added a teaspoon or so of filling and folded over and crimped edges.
Baked them puppies at 375 for twenty minutes, no egg wash but could have..
Left over filling and more dough to make pasties tomorrow maybe.

Here's a recipe.http://allrecipes.com/recipe/46981/pasties-ii/

It's closer to what the Cornish miners took to work with them..to eat cold or heat on a carbide lamp,or shovel.
The crusts,some were reported to have been left for the Tommyknockers in the mines.
A pastry cutter is key to folding lard, or sadly shortening instead , into the flour.
Debate rages at times over the sin or pleasure of gravy on them. Katsup has it's devotees too.

Called me a little while ago...........thought she was due in Saturday.......oh no, still have to visit Mexico. Wont be home until Monday..........
 



This is computer for a tear () where do we go from here oh lord? Where do we go from here?Whats next? More trials and tribulations? Is that all you have in store for an old soldier? Is that worth it?...............why?Where is the love of a man and woman.......the existance of an ever lasting relationship? or was I born to never have one? Come on man answer me................Im a good man. Ive done bad things, ive done good things............but like you say, Ive asked, no begged for your devine intervention, for repentance........nothing changes. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time are able to utilize their primortal instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgement, without judgement because its judgement that defeats us. Have you ever considered any real freedoms? Freedoms in the opinions of others? Freedoms in the opinions of yourself................
