I wrote these feelings down
 And saved them just for you
That way you can go back and read them
If you ever feel the need to
I put them in a frame so you could hang
them on your wall,
Maybe you could hang them
 above that dresser in your hall.
Or you could hang them
 above the kitchen sink.
Then you could read them while you got
yourself a drink.
Maybe you will set them on your night stand
For the night's you have trouble falling asleep
That way if in your mind your still awake
your dreams may take a peek
No matter where you hang them just be sure its
safe from tears and bend's.
For in this frame holds my precious
thoughts of good times with old friends
Because these words my friend come strictly
from my heart
This way we will be together
even when we are apart

For all you cat lovers
I just have fond memories
Of their certain self polishing skills
That they encounter after every meal
They lick and lick from their head to their toe
And even in-between as odd as that may seem
They run and pounce on anything they please
Other cats won't eat they are just plain finicky
Some Cat's sleep and sleep all through the day
And others don't care they just want to play
Those cat's that alway's bat at you're feet
They sneek in behind and under you're seat
Some Cats use that ruff toung of theirs 24/7
Other's wouldn't lick you if ya begged them
Cats that crawl's up your leg
just to see what you are cooking
The one alway's in the trash *Well.. He's Booking*
Surprize cat's that jump out of nowhere
to ride your pant leg down the hall
(Face it) All Cat's are the MASTER of the long distant fall
Just today, I was chatting to A Kitti Cat
Who's meow inspired me "imagine that"
For all you cat lover's this is all very plain
Just remember some cats are just a little insane

Seems like there is always a constant worry with weight in America.  Maybe together we can share things that have worked for us.
Growing up in my family it didn't take long to realize food was used for more that just hunger.
I decided early I didn't want to run to food when something bothered me.. I am very short so I can't spare 5 pounds or my clothes don't fit.
I have found it better for me to eat several small meals a day instead of stuffing myself.. I don't gain and I am not miserable after I eat.
Also walking even a small distance makes me feel better! Clears my mind and I feel much better.
Personally what has helped you?

I went to the bank when i was just a kid with my dad and i can barely remember getting my first account.. In my family we worried about earning allowance.
Even the movie show never got all of our money ..
My mother made our popcorn to take with us.
Banking was not our concern back then.
Few years after that i went in the military and sent money home
worked a few years after that.. during that time i could call down there to the bank
like a friend and tell them what i needed and it happened
If i couldn't then Momma called them..after that it was fine
It was important to me to make those payments on time..
(Because i said i would) Not for the contract or the credit report ..
(Back then it was because i said i would)
A person's word used to hold more weight back then than it does now
You could have nothing for them to hold but hey (a man's seemed to hold more weight than a woman's word) a man's honor, pride, & respect  in the community meant more than all the real estate in Arkansas back then!
Now today can you trust the bank to make sure that you and your money
are taken care of.. If you owe on your house do they bend over backward to help you on your word? or do you have to own to purchase? How does you're bank work?

In order to get gas down..we may have to try alot of thing's.
Boycotting Gas? Ya think?
Well if that could be i guess it may help to know where to buy gas:
These companies import Middle Eastern oil:

Shell............................205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco...........144,332,000 barrels
Exxon/Mobil.................130,082,000 barrels
Marathon/Speedway.....117,740,000 barrels
Amoco...........................62,231,000 barrels

Citgo..............................comes from South America
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
(Oil is now $90-$95 a barrel)

Here are some large companies that
DO NOT import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco....................0 barrels
Conoco....................0 barrels
Sinclair....................0 barrels
BP/Phillips...............0 barrels
Hess........................0 barrels
ARC0........................0 barrels

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy
and each is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers...
We have got to start somewhere!

I Love
Magical things like nursery tales
Like jack and jill and the water pale
That catapiller that was exactly 3 in's tall
passed out mushooms that made her big or small
Smoking and saying "Who Are You"??
Had Miss Alice wondering too
And the Wooden puppet with a nose could'nt lie
Just wanted to play like a real boy **he sighed**
Those little girls made of sugar & spice
And everything nice
Chicken Little saying the sky was falling on her head
And the rabbit that was gonna be late "so he said"
You know ET had to make long distant calls
How did Hupty Dumpty fall , just Sitting on that wall?
That deer bambi , thumper and their fine feathered friends
Fee Fye foe fumm and that boy that pulled out a plum
The painting of the roses red
That little old man who bumped his head
Rain,rain that just would'nt go away
Even if Little Johnny wants to play
Wonderful thing's we shared as kid's
And pass them on to our kid's so they could
laugh and smile just as we did

 

When snow starts in November, and lasts until Easter, you  start having "fantasies" about where could I be besides here!!!!! Consider Naples, Waikiki, Auckland, Sydney, San Diego, or, Batesville, (Arkansas)!!!!!! All but Batesville  have sunshine 300-350 days / year, but, Batesville's mild winter temperatures sure beat the 5-6 feet of snowfall this year in Gran Blanc !!!!!

Dating on The Internet I have a few single friends that have tried it And even before i met my mate i tried dating on the internet It was kind of exciting, almost sneeky the fun kind of sneeky It seem to add a little something to look forward too I did talk to a couple of men that i later met in person Only one that could have been something more than friends but that did not seem to work out The main reason for that is that he ask me to marry him in one month! I think i recall the words "NO WAY" Flying from my mouth! He seem to be a very good person, very kind and also had a great job which i am gonna guess that all the good stuff rolled up in one, is like a BIG CAUTION SIGN .. I was taken in, right at first but talk of marriage in the first month made me back off and look at things quick .. Hey i am glad i did, i never would have met the wonderful man that i am with now. I thought i would share the things that i have learned from dating on the internet This type of dating can be fun alright but very risky also The person may not be who they say they are.. Like one guy told me he was very handsome.. well that was not my opinion Nor was he blond or 6 feet 4" tall, but he sure thought he was all this and a bag of chip's I do know you should talk for a long while to get to know one another.. Then if you do decide to meet the person, do it in a public place.. Also take a friend along and let others know where you are going I took 2 of my buddy's "male friends" Anyone have an experience dating on the internet? The number of men just my network area is unreal.. Maybe there is such a thing in too many choices?

Catching the morning sun rising through the trees from my back lawn
Sipping coffee in~between morning yawns

Listening to critters scatter the crisp leaves
Shifting eyes so that one stays on me

No human sound's
Moment's that have no bounds

A feeling of peace with everything 
I wish this feeling could be passed around
So all of the world could be like my morning sounds

Charles Edger, Charlie, daddy & POP
At times each name applied
depending on life's chapter and who stood at his side

"Charles edger" beamed his parents
 as they proudly gave the name
But "charles" was the version that his sister 'mary' claimed

Through many interesting chapters
"Charlie" was his name that was his true claim to fame

It was Charlie to his childhood friends and charlie to his wife..Charlie was the name he heard throughout his professional life

"Daddy" was a special name reserve for only 4
throughout our childhood years it was the name we all adored

Daddy, let's go swimming daddy, sing that song
Daddy take us camping can our friends come along

Daddy, dress for halloween And flock the Christmas tree
Let me sit up on you'r shoulders
So the whole world i can see

We climbed down off his shoulders
And had children of our own
He answered then to "POP' As if it's all he'd ever known

Now each name is sound asleep
A long awaited rest
The name that he'll awaken to
Will be the best one yet
               ( In Loving Memory of Charlie McClendon)
