Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's Newsletter theme is being revisited from 2006.
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltRwmgYEUr8 - My Girl - The Temptations, 1965
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Girl_%28The_Temptations_song%29:
| "My Girl" is a
1964 song recorded by
The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown)
label which became a number one hit in
1965. Written and produced by
The Miracles members
Smokey Robinson and
Ronald White, the song became the Temptations' first U.S. number-one
single, and is today their signature song. Robinson's inspiration for
writing this song was his wife, Miracles member
Claudette Rogers Robinson. The song was featured on the Temptations
album
The Temptations Sing Smokey. Musically, the song is notable because the six ascending guitar notes in the opening riff over the C chord are a perfect example of a C major pentatonic scale, played exactly from octave to octave. Similarly, the analogous riff in the song that is played over the F chord is a perfect example of an F major pentatonic scale, also with notes ascending from octave to octave... "My Girl" climbed to the top of the U.S. pop charts after its Christmas time 1964 release, making it the Temptations' first number-one hit. The single was also the first number-one hit on the reinstated Billboard R&B Singles chart, which had gone on a fifteen-month hiatus from 1963 to 1965.[2] ...In 2004, "My Girl" was ranked number 88 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[3] |

01/21/12:
| Hi Carol, ... I am sorry to learn that 
 Paul
(Harty - Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) is still having health
problems. Let's hope that you can come up with a 'magic cure' for
him, as I did for myself. You won't believe this. For the past
several months, I have had severe pains in both of my legs. I went
to the orthopedic surgeon, who took x-rays, examined me, etc., and
couldn't find any problems. Then one night a few weeks ago, during
another night of terrible pain, I got a sign from God, Allah,
Buddha, whomever, that said, 'perhaps there is a link between severe
leg pains and excessive alcohol consumption (to which I had to plead
guilty). Go and check it out.'
So, when I arose the next
day, I spoke with Google Search, and found that there is, indeed, a
link between severe leg pains and excessive alcohol consumption. So,
I immediately stopped drinking any alcohol, and the pains also went
away immediately. They haven't returned, and I am now a teetotaler
(at least for the moment). So, God DOES move in mysterious ways, and
I hope that He will somehow move in such a ways as to eradicate
Paul's pains.
Thanks again for all that
you do for the NNHS family and also
for your real family. You are an angel to all of them.
Sincerely,
YOWZERS-WOWZERS!
Thanks, Bill!
Haul Party has never had a single drop of any alcoholic beverage in his entire life (I know!), but we have pin-pointed a few things that do cause us both trouble - sugar, most sugar substitutes, carbonated water, and not enough water. These all seem to exacerbate whatever ailments we have three-fold. I'm
pretty sure that several of my family members would argue that I'm a

of VA -
Sorry for the delay, Eric.
As your note arrived
on the 14th, it'll be the main article in
the 01/15/12 issue - which should
be so extraordinarily easy I could have done it long since, had it not been
for that persistent (and recurring) mush-for-brains thingie.....
The simple answer to that is
- Yes and No. As long
as he receives donations (currently @ $50.00 a year) to renew the site
fees each February,
my #5 son,
Nathaniel
Harty (Hillsboro HS,
IL - '97) of IL will keep
the site
online permanently (I think...). I'll have to repair the broken links in
the Archive before I kick over (I still mend
a few each day in my "spare time"), and
the Newsletters will cease to
be produced. As I've said many times, a person would have to be
certifiably insane to do what I do.
My sister, Eleanor Buckley Nowitzky
('59) of NC told me
recently that she wouldn't do what I do for a firm contract salary of
$10,000 a year. So far no volunteers have come
forth to take over my job.
Thanks, Eric!

| When you are feeling down 1. If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep. 2. The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention. 3. Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important. 4. The best vitamin for making friends....B1. 5. The 10 commandments are not multiple choices. 6. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts. 7. Minds are like parachutes...they function only when open. 8. Ideas won't work unless YOU do. 9. One thing you can't recycle is wasted time. 10. One who lacks the courage to start has already finished. 11. The heaviest thing to carry is a grudge. 12. Don't learn safety rules by accident. 13. We lie the loudest when we lie to ourselves. 14. Jumping to conclusions can be bad exercise. 15. A turtle makes progress when it sticks its head out. 16. One thing you can give and still keep ...is your word. 17. A friend walks in when everyone else walks out. 18. The pursuit of happiness is: the chase of a lifetime! - JWD - ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., Whirlwind ========== I have no idea why I am sitting here about to tell the world about my situation, but maybe it will help someone. A little over a year ago I found myself back home, working two jobs, single, feeling alone and pregnant. Now the reason for my being back home was so that I could save some money so that I might be able to buy my first home. I was working two jobs so that I could pay my current bills off. I also wanted to start a new career. I was a nail tech and an intake person. I was 28 years old, a single woman longing to be married but finding myself alone and pregnant which I thought would never happen. My mother and step-father gave me the option to move in for one year so that I could save a little faster. Well, my year had come to a close and it was time to go, if you know what I mean. One day I felt like I was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room and looking above only to see the whirlwind of my problems going around me. I was like "Wow, if I get pulled up into this mess I'd just keel over." Well, you know what happened next. Our words do have power because all of a sudden it seems as though I became trapped in this whirlwind. I then began to give up until I remembered that God said that we should cast all of our worries unto Him, so I began to pray a prayer with all my heart. With faith I believed that He would fix all of this, but I didn't quite know how. The next day while working at the nail shop around 5 p.m., I began to tell a client of mine about my situation. After crying all over myself at the end of her appointment, she gave me a big hug and said that I was strong and everything would work itself out. Now that was the last thing that I wanted to hear. I was in trouble and needed major help. So by the end of my shift around 10 p.m. that client of mine who had been a client for eight years or better called just as I was leaving. She said she talked my situation over with her husband and that I was like a daughter to her and that it fell upon her heart to do something about it. She then told me that she would give me $5,000.00 to help me out and that I was not to pay the money back because it was a gift. God put it on her heart to help a friend in need. I was out done!!! I didn't quite believe it until a week or so later when she came up with the check. She told me to pay her back by paying for my child to go to college when it was her time to go. Needless to say I never told any one of my parents my story, but I have decided to tell MountainWings only to let you know that when God has anything to do with you, He doesn't half-step. He goes all the way. If I never believed in prayer before, I did after that. You have to have faith and believe in God's word. It does make a difference; it did in my life. Now I am the proud owner of my first home, and I have a beautiful daughter who I chose to name Trinity. We are happy. I would like to thank MountainWings because you continue to keep me inspired.

Using whole grain bread may be the way to go to stay lean. A recent study revealed that hearty, whole-grain breads with high fiber content received the highest scores on tests measuring the feeling of satisfaction with food. In the study, people tended to feel fuller longer, and also ate less later on, when they filled up on whole-grain breads instead of highly refined "white" breads. ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., God's Plan =========== Some things are beyond planning. And life doesn't always turn out as planned. You don't plan for a broken heart. You don't plan for a failed business venture. You don't plan for an adulterous husband or a wife who wants you out of her life. You don't plan for an autistic child. You don't plan for spinsterhood. You don't plan for a lump in your breast. You plan to be young forever. You plan to climb the corporate ladder. You plan to be rich and powerful. You plan to be acclaimed and successful. You plan to conquer the universe. You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever. You don't plan to be sad. You don't plan to be hurt. You don't plan to be broke. You don't plan to be betrayed. You don't plan to be alone in this world. You plan to be happy. You don't plan to be shattered. Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want. But MOST times, what you want and what you get are two different things. We, mortals, plan. But so does God in the heavens. Sometimes, it is difficult to understand God's plans especially when His plans are not in consonance with ours. Often, when God sends us crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot choose the cross that God wishes us to carry, but we can carry that cross with courage knowing that God will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope with. Sometimes, God breaks our spirit to save our soul. Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole. Sometimes, God allows pain so we can be stronger. Sometimes, God sends us failure so we can be humble. Sometimes, God allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves. Sometimes, God takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us. Make plans, but understand that we live by God's grace. ~Author Unknown~ ,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., Who's Your Daddy? ================= A number of years ago a seminary professor was vacationing with his wife in Gatlinburg, Tennessee where they were eating breakfast at a little restaurant, hoping to enjoy a quiet family meal. While they were waiting for their food, they noticed a distinguished looking, white-haired man moving from table to table visiting with the guests. The professor leaned over and whispered to his wife: "I hope he doesn't come over here." But sure enough, the man did come over to their table. "Where are you folks from?" he asked in a friendly voice. "Oklahoma," they answered. "Great to have you here in Tennessee," the stranger said. "What do you do for a living?" "I teach at a seminary," he replied. "Oh, you teach preachers how to preach? Well, I've got a really great story for you." And with that, the gentleman pulled up a chair and sat down at the table with the couple. "See that mountain over there?" (pointing out the restaurant window). Not far from the base of that mountain, there was a boy born to an unwed mother. He had a hard time growing up, because every place he went, he was always asked the same question: 'Hey boy, Who's your daddy?' Whether he was at school, in the grocery store or drug store, people would ask the same question, "Who's your daddy?" He would hide at recess and lunchtime from other students. He would avoid going in to stores because that question hurt him so bad. When he was about 12 years old, a new preacher came to his church. He would always go in late and slip out early to avoid hearing the question, "Who's your daddy?" But one day, the new preacher said the benediction so fast he got caught and had to walk out with the crowd. Just about the time he got to the back door, the new preacher not knowing anything about him, put his hand on his shoulder and asked him, "Son, who's your daddy?" The whole church got deathly quiet. He could feel every eye in the church looking at him. By now, everyone knew the answer to the question, 'Who's your daddy?' This new preacher, though, sensed the situation around him and using discernment that only the Holy Spirit could give, said the following to that scared little boy... 'Wait a minute!' he said, 'I know who you are. I see the family resemblance now. You are a child of God.' With that he patted the boy on his shoulder and said, 'Boy, you've got a great inheritance. Go and claim it.' With that, the boy smiled for the first time in a long time and walked out the door a changed person. He was never the same again. Whenever anybody asked him, 'Who's your Daddy?' he'd just tell them, 'I'm a Child of God.' The distinguished gentleman got up from the table and said, "Isn't that a great story?" The professor responded that it really was a great story! As the man turned to leave, he said, "You know, if that new preacher hadn't told me that I was one of God's children, I probably never would have amounted to anything!" And he walked away. The seminary professor and his wife were stunned. He called the waitress over and asked her, "Do you know who that man was who just left who was sitting at our table?" The waitress grinned and
said, "Of course. Everybody here knows him. That's Ben Hooper. He's the
former governor of Tennessee!"
Thanks so much, Shari!

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
with my girl.
I've even got the month of May
with my girl (fade)
