05/23/16 - NNHS Newsletter - Spiderwebs “Humanity
is like a giant spiderweb. If you touch it anywhere, you set
the whole thing trembling. As we move around this world
and as we act with kindness, perhaps, or with indifference, or with
hostility, toward the people we meet, we too are setting
the great spider web a-tremble. The life that I touch for good or ill will
touch another life, and that in turn another,
until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place and time my
touch will be felt. Our lives are linked.
No man is an island.”

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Today's Newsletter theme was
no doubt prompted by the tremendously huge spider which showed up in our bathroom and
contaminated my dreams as well as my home.
Thanks a lot, Giant Spider!

Spiderwebs - No Doubt,
1995
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiderwebs_%28song%29:
| "Spiderwebs" is a
ska
punk song written by
Gwen Stefani and
Tony Kanal for
No
Doubt's third studio album
Tragic Kingdom (1995). It was released as the album's second
single in 1995 (see
1995 in music). The song debuted at number 10 on the Billboard
Modern Rock chart and peaked at number 5 after three weeks of its
release. The song's lyrics are about a man who had been calling Gwen at
all hours to recite bad poetry to her.[1]
Musically, the song uses a drum for the beat and various
brass instruments, such as a trombone to build up the
crescendos in the chorus... |

what happens inside of you; it is measured by the spirit with
which you meet the problems of life.”

From Buster Vest ('63) of VA - 05/22/16 - "THE MEANING OF A FLAG DRAPED COFFIN":
The Meaning of a Flag Draped
Coffin
All Americans should be given this lesson. Those who think that America
is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought. Our
founding fathers used GOD's word and teachings to establish our Great
Nation and I think it's high time Americans get re-educated about this
Nation's history.
Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud
of those who serve to protect our 'GOD GIVEN' rights and freedoms.
I hope you take the time to read this ... To understand what the flag
draped coffin really means ... Here is how to understand the flag that
laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers.
Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the
sum of the numbers in the year 1776?
Here is the REST of the
story:

Thank you so much for
this reminder, Buster!

- 05/22/16:
Mrs. Applebee, the 6th grade teacher, posed the
following problem to one of her math classes:
"A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars. One-fifth is to go
to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and
the rest to charity. Now, what does each get?"
After a very long silence in the classroom, little Morris raised his
hand. The teacher called on Morris for his answer. With complete
sincerity in his voice, little Morris answered, "A good lawyer." |

You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You've got me for your prey
(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back
You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be
Communication, a telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape...
(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
Now it's gone to deep (Now, it's gone too deep)
You wake me in my sleep (Wake me in my sleep)
My dreams become nightmares (Dreams become nightmares)
'Cause you're ringing in my ears
(Yeah) Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message
And I'll call you back
A likely story, but (Yeah) leave a message
And I'll call you back
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter-matter-matter-matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
Oooh, the spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So, leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
It's all your fault, no matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's all your fault, it's all your fault
No matter who calls, no matter who calls
I'm walking into spiderwebs so,
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs so,
Leave a message and I'll call you back
