“Oh! `darkly, deeply, beautifully blue',
- George Gordon,
Lord Byron |

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This song is a
new one to me, but I really like it!
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7nLvJtRogc - Deeper Shade of Blue - Steps, 2000
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeper_Shade_of_Blue:
"The song is an uptempo pop song about the darker side of life and an attempt to break free."
40 YEARS AGO TODAY:
Friday, August 08, 1969 - A fire broke out in the Bannerman's Castle in the Hudson River; most of the roof collapsed and crashed down to the lower levels.
Friday, August 08, 1969 - Singer and actress Faye Wong was born in Beijing, China.
Friday, August 08, 1969 - Professional wrestler Dick Togo was born in Odate City, Japan.

From George Helliesen ('61) of MI - 08/07/09 - "Are you alright?":
Dear Carol,
Just a short note because you haven't published
lately. Are you alright? Is it just your computer or are you not feeling
well? Is
Paul (Harty - Bardolph HS, IL -
'61 - of IL) o.k.? If there is anything I
can do for you let me know!
You and your family take care and God be with you.
George Helliesen
Thanks for
asking, Sweetie! 
I've
made several Newsletters this week, but I've stalled on announcing them because
I never have quite completed the one for 08/01 yet! (?!?)
http://www.nnhs65.00freehost.
Hopefully today
I'll get that done.....
Paul is fine; he just brought me up
breakfast in bed, in fact (ja, I know it's nearly lunchtime.....).
I think I allowed the problems with our server which have been
ongoing since 07/20
- plus my inability to locate
Rusty
Glazer's ('61) obituary - to stress me more
than I should have. I have felt considerably worse than usual all week.
Evidently, my blood pressure escalated several times, and I thought it would
just behoove me to stop what I was doing and crawl back into bed. I have
noe raised Weaniedom to new heights. Actually, (Friday) has been my worst day
yet, but maybe it's hit its peak, and I'll be able to get rolling again. I
certainly hope so; this is kinda dumb, and we have a major family reunion to
attend in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on Sunday morning. EEK!
Thanks again, George; I really
appreciate your kindness and concern!

From
Bill Hobbs ('66) of Northern VA - 08/07/09 - "Zip lock baggie fly
control":
IT'S worth a try !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us know of your success!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We went with some out of town friends to Sweety Pies on Sunday for breakfast, and we sat in the enclosed patio section beside the house. We happened to notice a couple of zip lock baggies pinned to a post and a wall. The bags were half filled with water, each contained 4 pennies, and they were zipped shut. Naturally we were curious! Ms. Sweety told us that these baggies kept the flies away! So naturally we were even more curious! We actually watched some flies come in the open window, stand around on the window sill, and then fly out again. And there were no flies in the eating area! This morning I checked this out on Google. Below are comments on this fly control idea. I'm now a believer! More comments not included here were about pet dogs and fly problems.
Zip-lock water bags
Sue says:
Many people swear that a zip-lock bag filled half-way with water and attached
over entry-ways will repel flies. No one yet knows how or why it works, but
there is speculation that it has something to do with the way the moving water
refracts light. If you have tried this please use the comments form at the
bottom of the page to share your results with the rest of us.

I did tried the ziplock bag and pennies this weekend. I have a horse trailer
with full LQ. The flys were very bad this weekend while I was camping. I put the
baggie with pennies above the door of the LQ. NOT ONE FLY came in the trailer.
The horse trailer part had many. Not sure why it works but it does!!!!!!!

Fill a ziplock bag with water and 5 or 6 pennies and hang it in the problem
area. In my case it was a particular window in my home. It had a slight but
significant passage way for insects. Every since I have done that, it has kept
flies and wasps away. Some say, that wasps and flies mistake the bag for some
sort of other insect nest and are threatened by this.

I swear by the plastic bag of water trick I have them on side porch ( our house
entry) and all around the basement door. We saw these in Northeast Mo at an
Amish grocery store & have used them since. They say it works because a fly sees
a reflection & won't come around.
Just DJ Says:
May 16th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that each
of the millions of molecules of water presents its own prism effect and given
that flies have a lot of eyes, to them it's like a zillion disco balls
reflecting light, colors and movement in a dizzying manner. When you figure that
flies are basically prey for many other bugs, animals, birds, etc., they simply
won't take the risk of being around that much perceived action. I moved to a
rural area and thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my city boy chain
but I tried it, worked immediately! We went from hundreds of flies to seeing the
occasional one, but he doesn't hang around long.
"I would think it's worth the try".
Oh, I do love this stuff!
Thanks, Billy!
Y'all try this and
let me know what happens!

Credit Card
Did you ever get rejected for a credit card? I did
years ago. I had just started my new job out of college. I felt responsible
enough to handle my own credit card so I applied for an American Express card.
Weeks later I received a letter stating that my job was not good enough to be
accepted for the card. Funny enough, I was employed at American Express.

Property Manager
A property manager of single-family residence was showing a unit to prospective
tenants and asking the usual questions. "Professionally employed?" he asked.
"We're a military family," the wife answered.
"Children?"
"Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve," she answered proudly.
"Animals?"
"Oh, no," she said earnestly. "They're very well behaved."

Written by Topham & Twigg
(Steps, 2000)
Into each
life some rain must fall
I didn't know I would catch it all
The clear skies have gone
And you with them too
It's not the same now without you
I used to say you're so beautiful
But it didn't change a thing at all
There's nowhere to run
Got nowhere to hide
I can't forget you and I've tried, but...
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
Into each life some sun must shine
Well, someone else must be getting mine
The days are so empty
Nights are so long
Awaking to find again that you've gone
I used to say you were wonderful
Now I just wonder where you are
It's easy to say memories fade
But I'm still missing you
Nothings changed ... and
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
Summer is over
And all we are is apart
The nights are so cold now
Without you in my heart
I'm a deeper shade of blue
And there's nothing I can do
You're so far, far away
Yeah, I'm a darker shade of me
And I just can't be free
You're so far, far away
You're so far away
