Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,Hank Williams keeps singing this song to me, which is kinda strange (even for me), because I'm not really a wildly rabid Hank Williams fan. I think I must just be having flashbacks to 1953 when this was released posthumously. It played on the radio practically all the time - so much so that I memorized it and sang it all the time myself - a rather interesting choice for a five-year-old, I must say.....
BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS4LCoh0VGQ - Your Cheatin' Heart - Hank Williams
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_Cheatin%27_Heart:
| "Your Cheatin' Heart" is a song written and recorded by the
American
country music
singer and
songwriter
Hank Williams in 1952, but released after his death in 1953.[1].
It is often considered one of his greatest songs, and one of the great
songs of country music. The song is a slow
blues ballad, telling an unfaithful lover of the guilt that she will
feel for cheating on the singer. The story goes that Williams was prompted to write the song when thinking about his first wife, Audrey Williams,[1] while driving around with his second, Billie Jean Jones; she is supposed to have written down the lyrics for him in the passenger seat. Williams collaborated with Nashville songwriter Fred Rose to produce the song's final draft before recording the song in his last ever recording sessions, on September 23, 1952.[2] It was released the following year, shortly after he died, by MGM Records as catalog number 11416[2] and occupied the No. 1 slot in the US country music chart for six weeks. Rolling Stone ranked it #213 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time... |

TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
|
From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday1128.htm:
Thursday, Nov. 28, 1861 MISSOURI MILITARISM MOMENTARILY MARKED None of the border states had an easy time of it during the War of Southern Independence, but the problems of Missouri were even more complicated than most. For one thing, there was no generally understood agreement on its status in the rebellion. The last meeting of the regularly elected legislature had voted against secession. The Governor, Claiborne Jackson, was pro-secession, but before the matter could be resolved the St. Louis Riots and subsequent pursuit of Jackson and his followers by Gen. Nathaniel Lyon threw the entire state into chaos. The Confederate Legislature “accepted” the admission of Missouri into the Confederacy today and ordered a star added to the flag in her honor, but in fact the major cities and Mississippi River banks were firmly in control of the Union. Friday, Nov. 28, 1862 MARMADUKE MAINTAINS MOMENTARY MILITARY MOMENTUM A year later the situation in Missouri was no nearer to resolution. The fighting ranged back and forth across the Arkansas border. Today there was an engagement at either Cane Hill or Boston Mountains, Ark., depending on whose name you prefer. In this encounter, Union troops under James Blunt attacked Confederate forces under John Marmaduke. On this occasion it was Marmaduke’s men who were driven back, losing quite a few men to wounding and capture. In other actions there were ongoing skirmishes near Holly Springs, Mississippi, where Union Gen. U.S. Grant was hoping to establish a major supply depot. This would provide provisions for an anticipated attack on Vicksburg, the last Confederate city of consequence on the Mississippi River. Saturday, Nov. 28, 1863 BUMBLING BRAGG BEARS BLAME It was only three days since the Battle of Missionary Ridge had made the Union hold on Tennessee complete. The magnificent fighting force known as the Army of Tennessee, which had smashed the Union armies at Chickamauga and bottled them up in Chattanooga, had been left sitting ever since. Atop Missionary Ridge east of the city they had been given no orders to fortify properly, and when the attack came the cannon could not be properly aimed, and were swept away. Today the man responsible for this sorry situation, Gen. Braxton Bragg, finally seemed to see where the problem lay--in his own hands. With this he wrote to Jefferson Davis asking to be relieved of command, and requesting “an investigation” into the causes of the defeat. This was tantamount to requesting his own court-martial. Monday, Nov. 28, 1864 TENNESSEE TRIBULATIONS TAKING TIME Once again, a situation that had seemed settled a year earlier was once again a scene of fighting. The Army of Tennessee, which had seemed broken and doomed in the aftermath of Missionary Ridge, was again on the march. Today elements of the army, now commanded by Gen. John Bell Hood, entered the town of Columbia, Tenn. They did not do so very loudly, however, as most of the city was occupied by Union troops under John Schofield. The true commander of the Army of Tennessee, however, was in the process of arriving on the scene as well. Gen. Nathan B. Forrest was leading his horsemen across the Duck River to prepare for an attack on Schofield’s forces from the north. All of this action was motivated as much by a hope of forcing a recall of Gen. Sherman’s troops who were currently heading for Savannah, as by any military importance that Columbia might have held. |

| MAN AND BEAR VIDEO
The guy shooting this video is deer hunting from his tree stand, when an adult-aged black bear moseys into the clearing directly below his tree. What the bear does when it looks
up the tree and sees the hunter may surprise you. I personally think its
an "oh !@#$!" moment, but this guy has got to be one cool customer ...
either that, or he had a video camera in one hand and a .44 magnum in
the other!
YOWZERONI!
That's amazing!
Thanks again, Norris Sweetie!

Police Stop":
| A Police STOP at 2 AM An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and is asked where he is going at this time of night. The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?" The man replies, "That would be my wife." |
 Thanks again, Norris

..... FlyLady here: It is not easy to declutter the negative toxic
people in your life. It is even harder to recognize who they are when
you are living through this. Many times these people are the ones who
make you think you are nuts! We aren't! We deserve to live in peace! The peace that we make for ourselves. Not peace that comes from someone else making us happy. We are the only ones who can find joy and peace for us. |

CROSS STITCH PATTERNS:
FINALLY: |
|
From
http://www.ajokeaday.com - 11/27/11: |
| One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his
house. His three children were outside, still in their P.J.'s, playing
in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers thrown all about the
front yard. The door to his wife’s car was open, as was the front door
to the house. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and a throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand lay piled up by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and other piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried that she might be ill, or worse!! He found her lounging into the bedroom, still in her pajamas, reading a novel. She smiled, looked up at him and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?" She again smiled and answered, "you know everyday when you come home from work and ask me what in the world did I do today?" "Yes", he replied reluctantly. She answered, "We'll, today I didn't do it!!" |
