	01/28/09 - NNHS Newsletter - I'm Back!!! “There are times when God asks nothing of His children except silence, patience and tears.” - C. S. Robinson

Dear Friends and Schoolmates, 

   Today's Newsletter theme, first suggested by our Wizard of Wonderment,        Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA, three and-a-half years ago after my motherboard bit the dust and I was offline for three months, seemed just as appropriate today:

http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.com/08-15-05-NNHS-Im-Back.html

   Thanks again, Captain!

   Today's quotation came from   Ron Miller ('59) of NC - 01/08/09:

Carol -- perhaps this quote from C S Robinson is applicable to your circumstances: "There are times when God asks nothing of His children except silence, patience and tears."

   Thank you so very much, Sweetie!  I have clung, sometimes desperately, to this thought all through this strangely wonderful/horrible uber-stressful month!

NEWBIES (I hope I've found all these, but I think I did not .....):

1. Nancy Gordon Schreier ('60) - 12/19/08:

2.       Don Jett (NNHS / Warwick HS - '60) of FL - 01/01/09:

3. Bill Roady ('60) of VA - 01/17/09:

   Thanks so much, and welcome aboard, One and All! My scanner is not yet reconnected, but all my Anchors are safe and sound and awaiting that grand moment.....

The Bitch Is Back

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin, 1974

I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh, the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my _ _ _, what's that
Oh, it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back

Thanks again, Dave!

".....I was thinking more along the lines of Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back".  Should get a laugh from the Alumni.
"OTOH, "bitch" is not really your persona....."

   It is now..............Thanks, Sweetie!
