Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
Worry - one of my better skills... possibly one of my best talents..... :o(
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y-0nWVdBH4 - Don't Worry Baby - The Beach Boys
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Worry_Baby:
"Don’t Worry Baby" is a song written by
Brian Wilson and
Roger Christian, produced by Wilson and first recorded by the
Beach Boys. The band's version, a tender ballad with falsetto lead
vocal by Brian, was first released on their 1964 album
Shut Down Volume 2. It was also released as the B-side of
The Beach Boys' first U.S. number-one hit single, "I
Get Around", managing to reach number 24 on the U.S. Hot 100 in its
own right. The single was released in the United States in May 1964
through
Capitol Records. It was released a month later, in June 1964, in the
United Kingdom. Brian Wilson cited the song as his attempt to capture the essence of his all-time favourite record, "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, who would later cover his song. At one time, Wilson listened to his 45 record of the song he "could never do" up to 100 times a day. John Lennon's 1980 hit, "(Just Like) Starting Over", is considered by some to somewhat borrow from the chorus melody of "Don't Worry Baby", while Garbage's 1998 hit, "Push It", contains an interpolation of its chorus. The song "Don't Worry Baby" is part of the The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.[1], and ranked as the 176th greatest song of all time in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. |

After then Paul and I will drive our van back home (packed with the remainder of our belongings that didn't make the cut on our way out here in June). Sometime during that we will drive down to southeast Missouri to visit with Paul's aunt Ramona in Cape Girardeau and his step-mother Lavern in Advance. All other details are a complete mystery to me, and unfortunately I seem to be in charge of figuring them out.....
Thanks, Faniel - see you soon!

Brent's (Harty
- Hillsboro HS,
IL - '90 - of TX)
(currently
deployed to "the lands dark and dusty")
homecoming (shamelessly lifted from her daily blog)":
...And
one more thing. hehe. I did know that Brent was coming back. I just
didn't wanna blog about it for OPSEC reasons (army something or another
related to information and safety). We have to be careful about what we
say and what info we let out there. So, I just blogged about it AFTER
the fact. Didn't want anything bad happening because of me, you know.
hehe. Just like when he left, I didn't say the exact date, but blogged
about it AFTER he went. It'll be the same when he comes home. Can't get
out exact dates. But I did know. About 2 months ago, I had a time frame,
and then about a month or so ago, I had a date and an itinerary...
GIGGLES!
I knew that! Thanks, Bethany!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA -
08/24/11 - "Tips, Facts & More":
~ Have a great week
~ sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss |
Millions of people
are fascinated by eagles. They are powerful, incredible birds. But one
of the most fascinating things about these birds is how they respond to
storms. Most animals scatter to their holes. They hunker down. Tremble in fear. Wait until the storm passes. Not eagles. They recognize that with the storm comes massive turbulence and violent winds. And that is exactly what they like. They are masters of violent storms. They launch into a storm and harness its power to fly faster and rise higher than could ever be possible.
Thanks so much, Bill!

FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com - 08/27/11: |
A middle-aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the
hospital. While on the operating table, she had a near death
experience. Seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up?"
God said, "No, you have another 43 years, two months and eight days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a face-lift, liposuction and tummy tuck. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well look even nicer. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, an ambulance killed her. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that ambulance?" God replied, "Girl, I didn't recognize you!” |

Well, its been building up inside of me
For oh, I don't know how long;
I don't know why, but I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong.
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
When she says, "Don't worry, baby."
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby.
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car,
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far.
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says, "Don't worry baby."
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby.
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you,
And if you knew how much I loved you,
Baby, nothing could go wrong with you."
Oh, what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry, baby"
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby,
Don't worry, baby.
