Something weird though about Mary Ellen growing up and having babies, then suddenly falling into the foutain of Youth and going back to barefeet and pig tails. I bet the "Fountain of Youth" is really the Baldwin Sister's recipe. Gotta get me some of that.. the recipe, not the sisters LOL
Dog had his breakfast and suggests we go back for another nap. I think Dog is wise. Good Day.

Well if you don't mind, send that recipe my way when you find it..lol. It might be cheaper than buying the "stuff" from the liquor store. Good day. Off to care for the babies even though one's a teen,They will always be my babies;)

Just another day in paradise. Wonder what the weather will hold this week. More snow? Tornados? How about hurricanes? Seems like we get all kinds of things.

Good morning birdthreaders, how is everyone this morning. 30 degrees here with rain coming in this afternoon. Beats the white stuff.

I hope you are having a good day so far. I am going to go catch up. Be back.

Lessons from Una wrote:

Be thankful for every day you are alive.
Life is short, don't waste it hating one another.
Make peace with even your enemies, some day you might actually miss them, because very often it is your enemies that will teach you a lesson about yourself that you needed to learn.
Thank you Una for the lessons you have taught us.

Good post belie, I think he would have appreciated that. Look what he has inspired by his demise. God Bless him, cause such a stir then end up having people learn a lesson from it. Forgiveness. Who would of thought a few months back we would be more inspired to get along. We are all God's children. He wants us to get along.

Good morning, everyone. I slept as well as Roaming does, and here I am, once again. This thread is like a magnet--even if I resist, it pulls me to the keyboard. The only thing stronger is the bed, which is right behind me. So when I hit my forehead on the keyboard, which I frequently do, I just mozey over to the bed and drop right in. Stein is already there, snoring away. I'm going to have to kick him off so that I can make the bed.

I have always thought that, the similarities in living in an old shack, eating cheap food, neices, disgust with the same people, coming around on others, etc etc.

I thought that as well. That poster was the first to be nice to me in the last line of his rant. Then Una followed with the niceness. We may never know for sure since it appeared that proxy was banned here. I am still not 100% sure though. I thought he had posted the same day you brought up what you found on that forum. A song "Spirit in the Sky" and a second post was immediately removed where he asked "do you know who I am". I thought that was Imposter. I guess time will tell. I know I will miss him. It just isn't the same clicking on the thread and knowing he will never be here with his unique wit. lol

Gee, Topix has no idea where I live. In the last 24 hours I have been in Berea, Lexington, and now Nicholasville.
I guess that old Willie Nelson song "I don't get around much anymore" does not apply to me. Maybe I am more like that one comic "I'm Moving, Moving, Moving". Know what I mean, Vern?

Hahaha, that is funny Ancient Wolf, at least they keep you in the area you live not all over the state, another state, or all the ..United States. haha I haven't heard that song in decades. I think my Dad listened to Hank Snow's version. Vern? My nephew use to lose it laughing when he got his hands slammed in the windows.

Good morning lala. I know what you mean there. If you sent me a new email address I did not get it. OJG mentioned it in one of her emails about your new address. Did you get it figured out?

Hank Snow's "I'm Moving on" was the first song I learned on the guitar. My uncle taught me his own version:

The old hound dog was feeling mean til he caught his tail in the sewing machine, he's moving on.

The old Tom Cat was feeling fine til we rubbed his butt with turpentine, he's moving on.

In Honor of the Dearly Departed, I just got back from Dollar General. I think he had posted that it actually started in and around his location.

I remember that song and Hank Snow being played alot when I was young. We loved the part about the hound dog and the tom cat.

I think you are right about the Dollar Store. He would crack me up with his chili brands and prices. I am going to miss his daily dose of clean humor.

@ Abeliever
Don't worry that I am naieve about posting on this or any other site. I often know more than I let on. I respond to all posters who address me,I remain cool and objective wherever the post is leading. If foul language is too bad, I just move on. My philosophy of responding to any poster is that I let them know that I do not get shocked,upset, or aggravated by what they are posting. It's the old adage that "you can catch a lot of flies with honey, not vinegar." That's how I got Una turned around with me. No matter what he said, I would respond with humor. I think that I fell off the wagon only once or twice. I even accepted and laughed about UNA calling me Uglylala. I guess that I want folks to know that I am not naieve at all;but I respond to trolls in my own way, and most of the time, it has served me well. But I DO thank you for your concern. It's a nice thing for friends trying to look out for one another. P.S. my hands are sitting heavily on the keyboard, as I am ready for my nap. I just had to delete the rows of zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzz szzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz. LOL Oglala, aka Lala Love and prayers to all.

Good mornin Everyone! Still layed over by New Orleans...Even though I had a great time I would have rather been rollin shortly after getting empty Friday at noon.

I'm learning the hard way that a two truck company is not the way to go if seeking a truck driving position. Trucking life sucks these days.

[Oglala]

@Abeliever: If a similar post shows up, please accept my apology because my message seems to be lost in cyberspace, at least for the moment.
Basically, I told you not to worry about my outward appearance of being naieve. I respond pleasantly, I hope, to all posters, even the suspicious or negative posters. I follow the adage of "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar," One of two things then happen.. After a few of my "decent" responses, the perpetrator of negativity sees that I will not play that game, and gives up on me....They either get nicer or more vulgar. After many vulgar reponses, I just scroll on by. I never show upset, indignation, or powerfully refute their positions. I do this because this is what they DON'T want. Thank you for trying to warn me about various posters. That is kind and considerate, but I don't really need a "heads up" warning about the various posters on this thread.
Love and Prayers, from Lala

I agree lala, and you and Ancient Wolf set the example well, even your minor slip ups were as bad as mine. I really got the blunt of it for not doing the same. I guess I let him get to me as the time he showed up I was not in a good place. I am ashamed as far down he provoked me with all his characters i.e. Don't Care? LMBs, etc..if those were him as well. I am just glad we got passed all that. Wish it hadn't taken so long. But at peace we were laughing and posting during his last day on Earth. I knew he really liked those Godvines he mocked (Codvine)because he watched every one of them. He always commented on their contents. His favorite had to have been the ducks. We grew on him and he had to finally admit he liked us. Glad he did.

I got your new email. Hope it works out for you. I will always be your friend. We don't always have to agree. lol

Love and prayers back to you.

Hope you took out some time to have some fun. That place must of been rocking. lol Be safe in your travels and keep faith on that position. Every trucker has to pay their dues if they are not independent owners/drivers. Hang in there. Keep us posted. God Bless you and keep you safe.

Even the owner/operators pay their dues. Box trailers require the drivers to do a lot of "dolly" work and flat bedders have to get out in all kinds of weather and climb up on the load to stretch heavy tarps. That can be dangerous in icy conditions.

6-8 weeks out gets hard on them and the families though. We've been without a paycheck for the last 4 weeks because he took a ten day holiday. There's always one bright light: they do eventually come home. A lot of people get into the industry thinking well I might be able to take the wife and/ or the wee one along or they might expect a lot of payWhich it was keeping us ahead. Mind you, I'm not complaint I have it all: the greatest partner and healthy, beautiful children. We just count our Blessings even more during the rough times. I've been agreeing with and enjoying your posts. Hehe especially the thoughtful comments about the Codger of CodVine.;)
