Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's theme is prompted by my state of mind this week.
If you've been wondering why I'm so backlogged and why there has been such a
proliferation of bloopers, this is it. If you know where I can get a large
can of oxygen to clear the cobwebs from my brain, please send it my way.
If you haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, I thank you for your sweet
indulgence.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazed_and_Confused_%28song%29:
Folk singer Jake Holmes wrote and recorded "Dazed and Confused" for his debut solo album "The Above Ground Sound" of Jake Holmes, released in June 1967. Like the other tracks on the album, the song does not include any drums. It was recorded entirely with the trio of Holmes on guitar, keyboard and vocals, Ted Irwin on guitar and Lee Underwood on bass.[1] The song has been incorrectly labelled as a tale about a bad acid trip. Holmes himself has confirmed that this is not the case. In 2001 he gave an interview to Shindig! magazine and said this about "Dazed and Confused":
I never took acid. I smoked grass and tripped on it, but I never took acid. I was afraid to take it. The song's about a girl who hasn't decided whether she wants to stay with me or not. It's pretty much one of those love songs.[2]

Carol:
I do enjoy your 'This Day in WWII' feature and hope others do, as well. I think it might be of more interest to your readership if you'd occasionally include items of significance that have a NN flavor.....
OOOH, YES! Thanks
so much, Bill!
That would be super, and very much
appreciated!

Here is a link to the Sullenberger/USAir
Hudson-landing recreation. Worth watching and absolutely riveting.

Make sure you run it full screen so you can watch speedo and altimeter plus see
pilot's view.
WOWZERS! Thanks,
Wayne Honey - and Donnie!
I thought we ran this
a week or so ago, but who really knows - and besides, it's beyond cool!
Hi, Pat: Bobby Maddy called today and he asked that we convey to our classmates of NNHS Class of 1957 his appreciation for all the gifts, phone calls and letters that have showered upon him since the fire. He was especially touched by a very generous gift from a widow that he knows can ill afford such a gift, but she suffered a fire years ago and knows how such an event can set one back. It brought Bobby to tears when he described the love shown to him. Local churches have brought them food, clothing, shoes, and money to help them get back on their feet. They lost everything, and thanks to a kind neighbor their dog escaped the fire, when they ran over and let him out upon seeing the smoke and fire. They also moved Bobby's car from the driveway so it would not be damaged. He wants everyone to know that God is Glorified in the love shown to them. Sincerely, Joe Madagan P.S. Carol: Maybe you could send this note of thanks out to your subscribers, for some help has come from other TYPHOON. jam
Thank you so much for this
moving report, Adonis!

Carol,
I know you get tired of my pictures but I cannot help but love to share the beauty of the mountains. I even went in on my day off to ski and take these new pictures after 11 inches of snow. I hope you all enjoy them.

Why, Phil, I'm quite fond of Utah mountains myself! ![]()
Wait a minute. I'd better restate that.
I'm not fond of skiing on them, or climbing on them, or even really of
driving through them. I'm fond of LOOKING at them - while walking
down State Street in Salt Lake City. That about does it for my
excitement and physical activity - and that was over 40 years ago
(I lived there from January to June of 1968).....
Thanks for these breathtaking images, Phil!

Hi, Carol: Most likely when ![]() ![]() Knowing your inclination towards detail, I was surprised that you did not catch it, and went ahead an listed LPH-3 in the Famous Sailor entry for Jim Cobb.

to
Joe
Madagan ('57) of FL - 02/02/10, 12:51 PM - "RE:
USS Boxer (LPH-4)":
Between you and me, an LPH is not a Amphibious Command Ship. That is not to say that the Landing Force Commander and other staff might not have been embarked, as an LPH was large enough to accommodate staff and may well have been Flag-configured.
To clarify, an Amphibious Command Ship is designated "LCC". There are currently two such vessels in commission:
Ship's Name |
Hull Number |
Homeport / Status |
LCC 19 |
||
LCC 20 |
You may find this amusing. Mount Whitney now has a Military Sealift Command (MSC) civilian mariner (CIVMAR) crew, except that the CO remains a Navy uniformed Captain (O-6). The XO job was converted to a Master-licensed CIVMAR and is termed the Chief Mate a.k.a. First Officer. Of course, there are uniformed staff embarked for Flag support and communications. CIVMARs comprise Deck and Engineering.

The Babies Bubba's sister is pregnant and is in a bad car accident, which caused her to fall into a deep coma. After nearly six months, she awakens and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins -- a boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them." The woman thinks to herself, "Oh, no! Not Bubba; he's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?" "Denise," the doctor answers. The new mother thinks, "Wow! That's a beautiful name! I guess I was wrong about my brother. I really like the name Denise." Then she asks the doctor, "What's the boy's name?" The doctor replies, "Denephew." =================== Whose Kid? GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Shari! |
From Joan
Lauterbach Krause ('60) of VA - 02/02/10 - "Grandparents":
Carol,
My daughter Karen sent this to
me. Use as you need. Funny. :)
Grandparents
1. She was in the bathroom,
putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as
she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to
leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper
good-bye!" I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about
kissing the toilet paper good-bye....
2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me
how old I was, and I told him, 62. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then
he asked, "Did you start at 1?"
3. After putting her
grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse
and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more
rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head
and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As
she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who
was THAT?"
4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was
like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it
hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries
in the woods."
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure
wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"
5. A little girl was
diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she
was writing a story.
"What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."
6. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to
test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell
me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she
headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some
of these colors yourself!"
7. When my grandson Billy and
I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to
keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in.
Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the
mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."
8. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure."
"Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6."
9. A second grader came home
from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to
make babies today."
The grandmother, more than a
little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said. "How
do you make babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."
10. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a
teacher.
The small boy wrote: "The fireman
came down the ladder pregnant."
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant
means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
11. A grandfather was
delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed
past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The
children started discussing the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.
"No," said another. "He's just
for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said
firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."
12. A 6-year-old was asked
where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we
want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take
her back to the airport."
13. Grandpa is the smartest
man on earth! He teaches me good good things, but I don't get to see him enough
to get as smart as him!
14. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they
blame their dog.
WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks,
Joan!

FINALLY:
From ArcaMax Jokes - 02/02/10:
Teacher
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood.
Trying to make the matter clearer, he said: "Now, students, if I stood on my
head the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I should turn red in the
face."
"Yes, sir," the boys said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the
blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "'It's because yer feet ain't empty."
