Since I Don't Have You

“...Lost in your heart, lost in your eyes
Lost every day, no map to follow
Entire days, weeks, a blur
Flickers of light, in the darkness,
Only to be enveloped in shadows once more...

- Peter Winstanley

Dear Friends and Schoolmates,

   I've decided this theme, first used last year, will generally repeat on this day each year:

BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzyEd2soQkk  - Since I Don't Have You - The Skyliners


From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Since_I_Don%27t_Have_You:

"Since I Don't Have You" is a song by the doo-wop group The Skyliners. Released in 1958, the single reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also the top five of the R&B chart. The song, highlighted by a powerful vocal by lead singer Jimmy Beaumont, and a falsetto on the final chorus by Janet Vogel, is considered by oldies fans to be one of the best "heartbreak" ballads ever recorded, and a classic of pre-Beatles rock and roll, and is still frequently played on the radio. The song was featured in the films American Graffiti, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Lethal Weapon 2, and Mischief.

TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:

From http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0820.htm - INCLUDING:

Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1861
COMMAND CHANGES CONSIDERED CLARIFIED


The Federal government was beginning to put together the team that would prosecute the war to reunify the country. Yesterday had seen the promotion of George H. Thomas to brigadier general, and the recall of Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck from California to Washington. Thomas, a Virginian, chose to stay with his nation over his state, at considerable personal cost as much of his family never spoke to him again. Halleck, it was correctly assumed, would be named to overall command. Finally, today one George B. McClellan, major general, was named commander of both the Department of the Potomac and the army of the same name.

Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1862
MCCLELLAN MAKES MARTIAL MOVEMENTS


One year later George McClellan was still in command of the Army of the Potomac, although he was not leading them into any great number of battles. One who was fighting today was Gen. John Pope, albeit not very well. His Army of Virginia (one of the few Union armies named after a piece of land rather than a body of water) was skirmishing with Robert E. Lee’s men and coming out on the losing end most of the time. McClellan set his men in motion today from the Peninsula to Aquia Creek to be in a position to help Pope out. As he feared Pope was something of a up and coming star, he was not in any great hurry to assist the competition.

Thursday, Aug. 20, 1863
CHATTANOOGA CONFLICT CAUSES CONFUSION


When a vote was taken to decide if Tennessee would leave the Union, the outcome was very close. The eastern part of the state had been heavily against secession, but that did not mean the Federal effort to reclaim them was going to be easy. Today Gen. William Rosecrans and his Army of the Cumberland were nearing the Tennessee River as they slowly closed in on Chattanooga. Their target, Gen. Braxton Bragg, was sending increasingly hysterical telegrams to President Davis demanding reinforcements. By his calculations his 40,000 troops were facing 60,000 with Rosecrans and another 30,000 to arrive shortly under Burnside.

Saturday, Aug. 20, 1864
STEVENS SEEKS STEALTHY SABOTEURS


The USS Pontoosuc sailed into Halifax, Nova Scotia today confident that they would find and capture the CSS Tallahassee. This Confederate commerce raider had been threatening shipping on the vital New York-London routes in the North Atlantic. To the chagrin of the Northerners they discovered they had missed their prey by a mere seven hours, as she had sailed the night before. Lt. Commander Stevens, commanding Pontoosuc, went ashore to consult the US consulate. The consul reported that they were under the impression that Tallahassee was headed for the Gulf of St. Lawrence, so Stevens headed in that direction. In fact the raider, short of fuel, was headed home to Wilmington, N.C. She captured one more prize, the brig Roan.


      From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 08/19/11 - "Hi Carol":

Just sent you in a small donation.....

I didn't realize
       Adrienne (Harty - Hillsboro HS, IL / American School, IL - of NC) hadn't left yet. I quit sending her email, thinking she had. Tell her good luck for me. She sure is starting to look a lot like you, especially in the pink or coral shirt.

I hope you send you a new picture of me soon, to use for your site. I have always disliked that one. 

Love, Shari

    Thanks so much for your donation, Shari!  Adrienne's pre-mission expenses have been much higher than any of us expected! 


   From Randy Bearor ('64) of VA - 08/18/11 - "keep your mind active":

Just a little something to keep your mind active:


LATERAL THINKING, OR THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX


Check out your lateral thinking power!

..... DEMENTIA QUIZ, or how to feel really stupid fast.

FIRST QUESTION:

YOU ARE A PARTICIPANT IN A RACE. YOU OVERTAKE
THE SECOND PERSON. WHAT POSITION ARE YOU  IN?


~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~ 

ANSWER
:  IF YOU ANSWERED THAT YOU ARE FIRST,
THEN YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG! IF YOU OVERTAKE THE
SECOND PERSON AND YOU TAKE HIS PLACE, YOU ARE IN SECOND PLACE!

TRY TO DO BETTER NEXT TIME.
NOW ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION,
BUT
DON'T TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS
YOU TOOK FOR THE FIRST QUESTION, OK?


 
SECOND QUESTION:

IF YOU OVERTAKE THE LAST PERSON, THEN YOU ARE....?
(SCROLL DOWN)


~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~
 
 

ANSWER
: IF YOU ANSWERED THAT YOU ARE SECOND TO LAST, THEN YOU ARE.....
  WRONG AGAIN. TELL ME SUNSHINE, HOW CAN YOU OVERTAKE THE LAST PERSON??

YOU'RE  NOT VERY GOOD AT THIS, ARE YOU?

THIRD QUESTION
:

VERY TRICKY ARITHMETIC! NOTE:
THIS MUST BE DONE IN YOUR HEAD ONLY.
DO NOT USE PAPER AND PENCIL OR A CALCULATOR.
TRY IT.

TAKE
1000 AND ADD 40 TO IT. NOW ADD ANOTHER 1000 NOW ADD 30.
ADD ANOTHER 1000. NOW ADD 20
.. NOW  ADD ANOTHER 1000.
NOW ADD 10. WHAT IS THE TOTAL?

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER.....


~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~

DID YOU GET
5000?

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS ACTUALLY 4100
...


IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, CHECK IT WITH A CALCULATOR!
TODAY IS DEFINITELY NOT YOUR DAY, IS IT?  

MAYBE YOU'LL GET THE LAST QUESTION RIGHT....  MAYBE...

FOURTH QUESTION
:

MARY'S FATHER HAS FIVE DAUGHTERS:

1. NANA, 2. NENE, 3. NINI,  4. NONO, AND ???

WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FIFTH DAUGHTER?

DID YOU ANSWER NUNU?
NO! OF COURSE IT ISN'T.
HER NAME IS
 MARY! READ THE QUESTION AGAIN!

OKAY, NOW THE BONUS ROUND,
I.E., A FINAL CHANCE TO
REDEEM YOURSELF:

A MUTE PERSON GOES INTO A SHOP AND WANTS TO BUY A TOOTHBRUSH.
BY IMITATING THE ACTION OF BRUSHING HIS TEETH HE
SUCCESSFULLY EXPRESSES HIMSELF TO THE SHOPKEEPER AND THE  PURCHASE IS DONE.
NEXT, A BLIND MAN COMES INTO THE SHOP WHO WANTS TO BUY A
PAIR OF SUNGLASSES; HOW DOES HE INDICATE WHAT HE WANTS?


~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~

IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE
HE OPENS HIS MOUTH AND ASKS FOR IT...
DOES YOUR EMPLOYER ACTUALLY PAY YOU TO THINK??
IF SO DO NOT LET THEM SEE YOUR ANSWERS FOR THIS TEST!

~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~

PASS THIS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE  SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!
HAVE A NICE DAY, ONE AND ALL.

 

       Thanks, Randy!


    From Glenn Dye ('60) of TX - 08/04/11 - "Some Thought Provoking Signs (#9 in a Series of 16)":

     Thanks, Glenn - I really enjoy these! There's far too little blatant goofiness in the world! 
 
 


FINALLY:

From www.ajokeaday.com - 08/19/11:

Two molecules are walking down the street; one bumps into the other and says, "Oh, my fault, you okay?"

The second molecule says, "No, I'm not ok, I've lost an electron!"

So the first molecule says: "Are you sure?"

The second molecule answers, "I'm positive!"

Since I Don't Have You

 Written by Joseph Rock (1884 – 1962), Jimmy Beaumont, Lenny Martin

Recorded by The Skyliners, December 1958


I don't have plans and schemes,
And I don't have hopes and dreams,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.

I don't have fond desires,
And I don't have happy hours,
I-I-I don't have anything
Since I don't have you.

I don't have happiness, and I guess
I never will again.
When you walked out on me,
In walked old misery,
And he's been here since then.

I don't have love to share,
And I don't have one who cares.
I-I-I don't have anything
Since--I don't--have--
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
(Yo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ou
