From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 11/04/07:
HEY
- the third one - the
Catsup Bottle Water Tower in Collinsville, Madison Co., IL - I've seen many
times! That's
where my #1 son,
Lewis
(Harty - Hillsboro High,
IL - '89) and his wife,
Mary
(Bennett Harty - Litchfield High,
IL - '89) live!
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
This is fascinating!
"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.
The way you cope with it is what makes the difference."
Thanks, Shari!
From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 11/06/07 - "Butt or But Dust":
JACK (age 3) was watching his Mom
breast-feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: "Mom, why have
you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?"
STEVEN (age 3) hugged and kissed his Mom good night. "I love you so much
that when you die I'm going to bury you outside my bedroom window."
BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in
vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her mom
explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes
wide with wonder, the little girl asked: "How does it know it's me?"
SUSAN (age 4) was drinking juice when she got the hiccups. "Please don't
give me this juice again," she said. "It makes my teeth cough."
DJ (age 4) stepped onto the bathroom scale and asked: "How much do I
cost?"
MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing
in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: "Why
is he whispering in her mouth?"
JAMES (age 4) was listening to a Bible story. His dad read: "The man named
Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife
looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, James asked: "What
happened to the flea?"
TAMMY (age 4) was with her mother when they met an elderly, rather
wrinkled woman her Mom knew. Tammy looked at her for a while and then
asked, "Why doesn't your skin fit your face?"
The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget - or this particular Sunday
sermon... "Dear Lord," the minister began, with arms extended toward
heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "Without you, we are but
dust..."
He would have continued but at that moment her very obedient daughter who
was listening leaned over to her and asked quite audibly in her shrill
little four year old girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"
Ah, the little ones - given unto us
to keep us humble.....
Thanks,
Gorgeous!
From
Elaine Wilkinson Bracken ('61) of VA - 11/06/07 - "Dress Code for
Seniors":
Oh, thank you, Elaine!
It's good to have these reminders to
keep us on the straight and narrow!
From David Whitley ('67) of VA - 11/06/07:
I've been remiss in thanking you for the great
job you did with those pics of my
fambly ('cept for the old fat guy mishandling the little baby), and I
apologize.....
me
David, all I did was resize, compress, rename, save, and place the images;
YOU'RE the one who supplied the eye candy! But I'm confused. I just took
another look, and didn't see any old fat guy in any of them - just a
precious baby girl, her daddy, and that awesome granddaddy of hers!
Thanks again, Gorgeous!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA -
11/06/07 - "The Grade":
Driving on the interstate, I saw a vehicle with the license plate ALT F7. I checked my computer at home, and as I suspected, it was a WordPerfect command. The truck had to belong to a plumber. Who else would choose the command "Flush Right"?
==========
The Grade
==========
A professor stood before his class of twenty senior organic
biology students about to hand out the final exam.
"I want to say that it's been a pleasure teaching you this semester. I know
you've all worked extremely hard and many of you are off to medical school
after summer. So that no one gets their GPA messed up because they might have
been celebrating a bit too much this week, anyone who would like to opt out of
the final exam today will receive a 'B' for the course."
There was much rejoicing in the class as students got up, walked to the front
of the class, and took the professor up on his offer. As the last taker left
the room, the professor looked out over the handful of remaining students and
asked, "Anyone else? This is your last chance."
One final student rose up and opted out of the final.
The professor closed the door and took attendance of those students remaining.
"I'm glad to see you believe in yourself," he said.
"You all get 'A's."
How many have taken the
easy way out?
The short road, the easy path, the light load, all lead to lower grades in the
school of life.
Thanks so
much, Shari!
From Kathy Cooper ('70) of VA - 11/06/07:

From Sepi Dinwiddie
Prichard ('58) of NC- 11/07/07 - "Newsletter Contents":
Hi Carol and NNHS Family....
My thanks and appreciation to
Linda
(May) Bond Crayton ('66 - of VA) for telling it like it is, YOU GO GIRL ! What
are those little blue pills men hide from us, and secretly lend one another with
boyish snickers and grins ? Is that ammunition? And I really want to know who
this chick is that spells her name with a "C", and advertises on T.V. See Alice
? I mean, what kind of gal has to advertise on prime time with her 'tricky'
little name? She must be exhausted ! I think she needs to see a shrink, a
female one, and can't she just be content with her little corner of Nevada ? She
must be something if you need a prescription ! Not MY husband ! Oh, yeah !
the couple you see on T.V., each in his/her bathtub with mountain
view....what's up with THAT ?? Wouldn't a nice tub big enough for TWO be better
and more romantic ? One that has swirling, warm water and a place to put the
glass holding the beverage of your choice, now that's romance with a capital R
! Take a pill and sit in separate, yet side by side bathtubs with no water in
sight and SMILE at each other ?? What do you call that ? Birth Control
?....it sure ain't called Satisfaction ! And those closets...I keep shoes and
clothes and handbags in mine, and you keep WHAT in yours ? Really Guys, the
only reason a woman would stay in the closet is because of....shoes, clothes and
handbags, sorry, there's no room for your 'things' Men don't go into closets,
not real men. Men REACH into closets and pull out jeans or dress pants, a belt,
it doesn't have to match, shoes...dress or casual, and a shirt, dress or casual,
which for some unknown reason they always smell first before putting it on,
socks are kept in a drawer, along with the little blue pills, and...uh...who
cares if they match either ? Then there's under wear, I hope ! The few men I
have known that go INTO closets have always come out wearing, you guessed
it...shoes, with high heels, dresses, and matching handbags !! It's called
coming OUT of the closet. Linda, what was it exactly
Al (Farber
- '64 - of GA) was trying to say, about women and guns or closets and women
or guns coming our of the closet ? I think your aim is a lot better than his, I
mean, you hit the mark ! Al, baby...you need more target practice !! About
those 'other' men...friends of mine in the "TURNABOUT FOLLIES" A whole 'nother
story about an overzealous ( fill in)
Talent Agent, ex-talent agent !!
"Okay, Class, y'all settle down and behave yourselves or we'll have to separate you....."

Dear Carol,
My husband forwarded this to me this morning,
and I immediately thought of all the word lovers who contribute their
thoughts to the newsletter.

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger.
Then it hit me. Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest. Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now. The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work. To write with a broken pencil is pointless. When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate. The short fortune teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. A thief fell and broke his leg in wet cement. He became a hardened criminal. Thieves who steal corn from a garden could be charged with stalking. We'll never run out of math teachers because they always multiply. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A. The math professor went crazy with the blackboard. He did a number on it. The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground. The dead batteries were given out free of charge. If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory. A dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail. A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired. A will is a dead giveaway. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. A backward poet writes inverse. |
In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in
feudalism, it's your Count that votes. A chicken crossing the road: poultry in motion. If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed. With her marriage she got a new name and a dress. Show me a piano falling down a mine shaft and I'll show you A-flat miner. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered. A grenade fell onto a kitchen floor in France, resulted in Linoleum Blownapart. You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it. Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under. He broke into song because he couldn't find the key. A calendar's days are numbered. A lot of money is tainted: 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine. A boiled egg is hard to beat. He had a photographic memory which was never developed. A plateau is a high form of flattery. Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall. If you jump off a Paris bridge, you are in Seine. When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she'd dye. Bakers trade bread recipes on a knead to know basis. Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses. Acupuncture: a jab well done. |

Even Now
- Words and Music by Marty Panzer and Barry Manilow
(Barry Manilow,
1978)
Even now
When there’s someone else who cares
When there’s someone home who’s waiting just for me
Even now I think about you as I’m climbing up the stairs
And I wonder what to do so she won’t see
That even now
When I know it wasn’t right
And I found a better life than what we had
Even now I wakeup crying in the middle of the night
And I can’t believe it still could hurt so bad
Chorus:
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it’s still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And how I wish you knew
Even now
Even now
When I never hear your name
And the world has changed so much since you been gone
Even now I still remember and the feeling’s still the same
And the pain inside of me goes on and on
Even now
Even now when I have come so far
I wonder where you are
I wonder why it’s still so hard without you
Even now when I come shining through
I swear I think of you
And God I wish you knew
Some how
Even now
