Thanks so much for sharing this, Joe - you know
how I love hearing of mini-reunions!
And speaking of Marines.....
From Ruth Ann Reece Horace ('67) of FL - 04/05/09 - "God's Busy":
God's
Busy
If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments.
He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the
courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling
and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this
platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes."
The
lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still
waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine
got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking
him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other
students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.
The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?'"
The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today
protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff
and act like an idiot. So, He sent me."
And all God's people said, -- AMEN!
And so will I! Thanks, Ruthie!
From Ivan Anker ('67) of VA - 04/05/09 -
"Be-lo / Bi-Lo":
Carol,
Being in the grocery business for many years, here is a rundown on the Be-lo / Bi-Lo issue.
Bi-Lo is a chain of stores primarily in the Southeast (South Carolina, Georgia, Florida). Be-Lo was a local chain owned by Camellia Foods. Camellia was bought out by Richfood (Richmond) who in turn was bought out by Supervalu based in Eden Prairie, MN. Supervalu is the largest food wholesaler in the country and own many regional chains including Albertson's (primarily west of the Mississippi) and our local chain here, Farm Fresh. I have been employed with Farm Fresh for almost 42 years now. They merged with another local chain (Giant Open Air Markets) many years ago. Giant had bought out Rich's Supermarkets and Lou Smith's Markets. Colonial Stores / Big Star, another chain, went bankrupt years ago.
I hope this clears up the Be-lo Bi-Lo controversy.
Ivan Anker '67
EXCELLENT!
Thanks so much, Ivan!

of VA - 04/05/09 - "More on Be-Lo":
I did not get a chance to visit the state library to look at grocery ads on the Daily Press microfilms from that 1960s, but will. I did run across these mini pictures... the Be-Lo sign looks to be the last incarnation version for their smaller stores, but not 100% certain. |

(Warwick HS - '57) of VA - 04/05/09 - "Gmail and
'Conversations.'":
Carol - I understand your plight with respect to receiving replies in Gmail and how they stack as a 'conversation' and get lost in the shuffle.
Hi, I love getting messages from all my family, friends, and classmates! It would be so helpful if you would always send original e-mail messages INSTEAD of using the 'Reply' function. That would help me so much - Thank you! - Carol
WOW - What a super idea!
Thank you so much, John Sweetie!
I did just that!
And speaking of email.....

Positive Thinking
- The Power of Belief
By Desiree Jumchai, Mar. 24, 2009
Wise people say that adversity or
crisis provides the best school for learning. Sometimes lessons hard-learned are
best remembered.
At times like this it is our beliefs that can either make or break us.
Likewise, if you truly believe you can achieve something, your mind will help
you to achieve and win. On the other hand if you are weak and uncertain, you
will set yourself up to lose.
If you are aware of the amazing power of belief and understand how to channel
this power effectively, you can reach your desired destiny.
Your Success is Your
Conscious Choice
When you choose to believe in whatever you pursue, your brain sends your body
powerful signals of confidence.
Most people go through life without realising that this is a powerful mechanism.
- Develop your beliefs and nurture them
- Discard the negative and reinforce the positive
Although they may be subliminal, beliefs are reflected in your attitude and
actions. Believe strongly in your success, your beliefs will empower you to
achieve that success.
Do What You Think You Can’t Do
Events in your life can alter your way of looking at the world. The more
significant the event or the more impressionable you are, the greater or lesser
the effect this will have upon your psyche.
These experiences give birth to your beliefs which in turn change your life for
better or worse.
Be careful because your beliefs can limit and deter unless you do the exact
opposite. An example can be when you do something you initially thought you
could not do. At that moment, you have changed your belief from limiting to
‘limitless’.
'Impossible' Olympian feats are performed during Olympic Games as world records
are constantly broken - just imagine their effect a few generations earlier.
Understanding the differences between possible or impossible and limiting or
limitless will change your belief systems forever. You become empowered with
faith and will believe in yourself more.
Get Rid of Limiting Beliefs and Adopt Empowering
Beliefs
Negative beliefs undermine your capabilities and strengths. These are equally
powerful and will stand in your way to achieving your ambitions and dreams. You
have the ability to change consciously, so do so.
Keep in mind positive and empowering beliefs that will assist you to achieve
your life goals. Discard those limiting beliefs.
In the words of Henry Ford:
“If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, you’re right!”
