embarrassing things

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Fellow listers,
Well rack one up for me today. I try to be as productive as possible so I
had made a Valentine pamplet to pass out at Church. I am unable to teach
or do any other duties any more, but with my trusty computer I put out a
little packet. I was standing at the back of the church passing them out (I
usually go right in and set down). It was about ready to start and I was
getting some last minuters. Well I sort of turned around and caught my foot
on something and fell flat on my face. Wasn’t hurt but my pride. Luckily
there were a couple out there that helped me up. Sounds a little like you
Jan. But more than anything I am discouraged. It seems, when I try to do
anything, something such as this happens. Does that mean I am just suppose
to set there and not participate? Now I am scared to move around much at
church for fear of falling. I am beginning to ache all over, but do not
think I hurt anything, like Jan did.

Blue Necks

Friday, April 28th, 2006

By now I’m sure that you have heard all the Redneck jokes.
Now here are some takes on how Southern folks look at their
Northern cousins:
You just might be a blue neck if:
1. You think barbecue is a verb meaning, “to cook outside.”
2. You think Heinz Ketchup is really SPICY!
3. You don’t have any problems pronouncing “Worcestershire sauce”
correctly.
4. For breakfast, you would prefer potato au gratin to grits.
5. You don’t know what a moon pie is.
6. You’ve never had an RC cola.
7. You’ve never, ever, eaten okra, fried or boiled.
8. You eat fried chicken with a knife and fork.
9. You’ve never seen a live chicken, and the only cows you’ve seen are on
road trips.

Cardo app’t & such

Hi Gang @ Onelist,
This hacker problem and etc. stuff has slowed my e-mail down. I would turn
my *bing bong* (I have mail) full volume and do stuff and it would be hours
and hours with nothing. It’s after 4:00 p.m. Sat. and I now have 36 messages
including 3, 75-message digests. So things are coming in.
Went to the heartologist Fri. He said I have a strong heart; a little poor
circulation in the upper legs but he said he’d approve his part for the
transplant (kidney/pancreas).
TODAY, our baby granddaughter is ONE YEAR OLD. We drove to Fort Wayne to
meet her parents, half sisters, uncle and cousins (they all live in Muncie)
at Chuck-E-Cheese’s. I’m sure glad I don’t live in that noise!! But was able
to tolerate it for the few hours we were there. She fell asleep and I said
it’s her party and she can sleep if she wants to. ;) I SURE I could wake up of an a.m. and feel like I do about 2:00 p.m. and
improve progressively like I do from what I do now. We couldn’t get out of

The UPS *woman* finally arrived today. My friend who sent the package
called and asked and they told her it would arrive today, so I waited and
she finally arrived. She was happy that I was home. She told me Calli is a
pretty cat. Now I have to wait for John to install the hard drive and put
all the necessary programs on to it.
Well I am sure that put a big smile on your face, Iris. I hope John gets
there soon!
Have a good day,

I am thankful for you all!

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

To my family at onelist,
Thank you for your concern. I am doing better I think! I wound up having to
go to court three times this week. It is really tramatic to see my son come
into the courtroom with shackles and handcuffs and anklecuffs. They are
shakled together. But the saddest part is when the kids are placed in a glass
room they sit there and laugh! They think it is a joke. But when they get up
in front of the judge many of them start to cry. Of course not my son, he is
to detatched to show emotions.
Mike, my son’s former therapist and a very good friend and support of mine,
came for dinner Thursday night. He really helped me see how emotionally sick
my son is. He needs intensive, inpatient treatment. It is a very long process
to get him in one though. But the process has begun.
I wrote a letter to my son today. I expressed how much I love him and need
him home with the people who love him. I am willing to go the journey with
him but he has to invite me. He needs to get better emotionally to come home

the childish on this list ;)

Monday, April 24th, 2006

It’s sure tooooo bad Babs wasn’t on the list when *Unknown* complained about
what a bunch of children on this list: a grown (groan) man who spits and
wails; a woman who stomps her feet because she can’t see the pics; and an
old lady who gets a slight little put down and therefore is offended and
remains silent, not speaking, or listing, until several days pass then
finally forgives after HE pleads and she again starts posting.
Looks as though we have another to add to the above. ;-) Silent ol’ Biddy

Stain Removal Guide

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Here’s a handy guide to getting out those pesky fabric stains:
Blood: Spill more blood around area of stain so it won’t stand out as
much.
Ink: Fall to knees and plead, “Why, God, why? Why dost thou test me
so?”
Grass: Write the name of your liquid detergent on stain. Wash. Hold
up to camera, and show off the unbelievable results.
Mud: Place large iron-on NASCAR patch over stain. Apply heat for 60
seconds.
Tomato Sauce: Take out the mook responsible for your tomato-sauce
stain by executing him gangland-style in the back of the head.
Capeche?
Coffee: Rub cream and sugar into stain. Apply oral suction. Enjoy
rich, robust coffee-stain flavor.
Wine: Apply mixture of 1/2 rum and 1/2 Coke to self until you no
