“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature |
|
Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
It's true.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO4wcNVbYOQ - Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson, 1973
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28I_Never_Promised_You_A%29_Rose_Garden:
"(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden" was the title of a song written by Joe South, that is best known as recorded by country singer Lynn Anderson. Her late 1970 release topped the U.S. country chart, reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop chart and remained the biggest selling recording by a female country artist until 1997.[citation needed]
... In the song, initially recorded by South himself, the narrator explains to his/her lover that though their relationship is not perfect, they should be grateful for the good and accept the bad along with it (as the chorus of the song repeats, "I beg your pardon; I never promised you a rose garden").

Hello Carol, Friday 6-11
Surprised and delighted to see classmate Roland McCoy's appearance
in the 6-08 issue. He appears on page 25 of the June 1945 Anchor
as Ardell McCoy.

OHHH!

Well, I saw that, of course,
but I didn't want to jump to one of my wild conclusions.
I love this description - and isn't he just adorable?!? Thanks so much,

From My #2 Daughter-in-Law,
Bethany Winona Harty
(Siuslaw HS, OR - '94) of TX - 06/11/10 - "June 19
Trip to St. Louis":
... (My friend) Laurie
had walked to (our friend's) Kayley's house, so I drove her home with
all of her "groceries". While there, I was mentioning the fact that
Brent (Harty
-
Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90 - of TX)
was going to the St. Louis area for a little less than 2 weeks here at
the end of the month, and I was bummed I didn't get to go. There was no
way we could afford 7 plane tickets, and it would be almost as expensive
to drive our Suburban there. So we decided that just he'd go, since he's
deploying soon, and won't see his family for a year. And it's been over
a year since he's seen them last.Anyway, Laurie offered to watch the kids if just I wanted to go. I'd never considered the possibility of leaving the kids with someone. I told her I'd have to go home and mull it over, and see if it was feasible. I checked my PayPal account, and I had $300 in it. And the tickets costs almost $400. So really, I'd just have to come up with $100 for a plane ticket. That's not too bad :) I found a flight at the same time as Brent's for departure, and picked one a week later for coming back. Leaving on a Saturday, and arriving back in El Paso on a Friday night. That way, I'd only be gone from the kids for a week, but would still get a "get away" with my hubby before he deployed. It took me about an hour to get the tickets all lined up, and bought, and arrangements made. OMGosh, Laurie. You're AWESOME! I love ya, hon!!!!
WHOO-HOO!
That's such fabulous news! Thanks, Sweet Bethany! See y'all next week!

From Tommy
Jenkins ('66) of VA - 06/11/10 - "The new senior health care plan":
| Carol, thought I
would send this for fun. Take care and thanks for all you do for us
Typhoons.
Tommy
Senior Health Care Solution So you're a senior citizen and the government says no health care for you, what do you do? Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 senators and 2 representatives. Of course, this means you will be sent to prison. There you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, and all the health care you need! New teeth, no problem. Need glasses, great. New hip, knees, kidney, lungs, heart? All covered. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

From
ArcaMax Jokes - 06/11/10:|
Running Errands Freddie was eighteen years old, friendly, and eager to do things right. Unfortunately, he wasn't especially bright. He had just started his first job, as a delivery boy and general "go-fer" at a furniture warehouse. His first task was to go out for coffee. He walked into a nearby coffee shop carrying a large thermos. When the counterman finally noticed him, he held up the thermos. "Is this big enough to hold six cups of coffee?" he said. The counterman looked at the thermos, hesitated for a few seconds, then finally said, "Yeah. It looks like about six cups to me." "Good," Freddie said. "Give me two regular, two black, and two decaf." |

(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden
Words and Music by Joe South (b. 28 Feb 1940)
Performed by
Lynn Anderson
(b. 26 Sept
1946), 1970
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,
Or let go.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover.
So you better think it over.
Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true,
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,
But what would it matter?
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
Instrumental break.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,
But if that's what it takes to hold you,
I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out,
And you know what I'm talkin' about.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly:
Love shouldn't be so melancholy.
Come along and share the good times while we can.
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden.
Along with the sunshine,
There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.
