We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!

Reuters is reporting that Saddam is singing like a canary and giving the U.S. information on hidden weapons and the names of people who may have as much as $40 billion.

WOW! What a harrowing experience to witness. Between the car rollover in front of you and the airplane experience, it's amazing your back isn't in complete back spasm.

Isn't it heaven to be home? Aaaahhh. Nothing like it - just feel those muscle relax....

[JRandomFreeper]

When he yelled, I looked up and saw a car literally roll over and flip into the ditch.

That happens down here. Quite a lot, actually. I have nothing else to say about that.

Believe it or not, what conerns me the most is an attack at work....

"I don't understand why some guys think the islamist multiple marriage thing is a good idea"

My Dad had the secret to a happy marriage. His solution was to buy my Mom two of everything she ever asked for, and go hide in the basement when ever she got mad.

I am so glad to read your report. I couldn't remember how you were traveling. It is good you flew most of the way. That much sitting during a drive might have done you in.

Did it bother you when they depressurized the cabin? That always seems to cause a few 'twangs' when I fly.

Standing in a hot shower does me more good than sitting in a hot bath. Everyone is different, because each problem is a bit different.

Welcome Back and get some rest.

[Neets]

I could say more on the subject, but for the time being I'll pass.

All I'll say is there are interesting dynamics between daughters/dad and mothers/sons.

But for now I am going to just let it be.

[Miss Marple]

Neets, I worry about your workplace, as well. Also Chair's.

Prayers for safety for both of you.

[Iowa Granny]

Well the Mother/Son dynamics are deeply strange. A tiny bit of anything you eventually tell us will apply to one of my 3 sons. But to suggest all 3 of them would react in the same way to any unsundry event in my life is beyond my comprehension.

[MozartLover]

Let's not even mention daughters/mothers.

[JRandomFreeper]

and go hide in the basement when ever she got mad.

Smart man. Following them around and playing a banjo doesn't seem to work...

[Iowa Granny]

freepmail call.

[JRandomFreeper]

My younger daughter tells me things that she would never tell her Mom. My elder rarely speaks with me. Go figure.

LOL

Why make it so difficult? 3 little words will make everything better:

I was WRONG!

*shaking head* Some fellas just don't get it!

[MozartLover]

My throat is getting sore again and I'm wheezing a bit. I think I'll call it a night and get a good night's sleep........and try to nip this in the bud.

My son has been ill ever since he got home.....finally called the Army to find out the how, when, where, etc. of obtaining medical care.........they told him to go to the emergency room, which he did; they gave him some heavy-duty antibiotics....I hope they kick in before he leaves on Friday morning.

Anyhoo.........

Fourteen angels to you Johnny and continued prayers for you & yours, esp. your Dad.

[JRandomFreeper]

Night Mozie, and 14 angels for you and yours. I hope your son gets better quickly. He'll need to be strong during the final weeks of basic. Thank him again for his service.

/john

[JRandomFreeper]

I was WRONG!

I'll accept that... 8>)

Bit, I seem to be digging a hole. What should I do? Keep digging? ;>)

Well, one last goofy thing before I call it an evening. Seems as if Jacko has remarried. Third time. To a high IQ Muslim pianist.

I suppose that's one reason he converted to Islam. The "high IQ" info about the new wife is debatable though IMO.....

G'Night all.

Prairie

[prairiebreeze]

Nope, here's the last thing. Seems the NY Slimes is reporting that the Nation of Islam has no taken over Jacko's business affairs, legal strategy etc.

Digging a hole? You?? ;-)

I say quit while you are ahead, or at least until you can maneuver the feminine adversary into a position to accept your fallibility in the matter...or ALL matters, for that matter...;-)

[Common Tator]

Acknowledging a problem is the first step in overcoming it.

The first rule is no child, parent, or sibling should ever control what one does or doesn't do in relationships between a man and a woman.

The second rule is a firm belief in the Biblical concept of one flesh in marriage. Each half of the one flesh should have equal say and control in what ever effects them both. The admonition to reject parent and sibling control and cling to each other is the only way a marriage can work. In second marriages where adult children are involved, the concept of one flesh rejecting all others is the proper Biblical response of children trying to control a parent's relationship. The biblical approach to marriage is to not allow any external force to come between the marriage partners. Marriage should never be a legal contract. It should be the becoming of one flesh in the eyes of God.

The best matches are between opposites. A couple that share strengths will fight over control of those strengths. But opposites will tend to defer to their partners strengths and be quite proud of their partner. Partners should build up an account of positives for each other. Thus when a one of them stumbles as all do, it will only reduce the balance. When the account with a partner has a negative balance, divorce is not far away.

Single men being visual creatures always have an image of the ideal woman. They also have an image of the minimum they will accept. When those two images merge into one real-life woman, a man knows he had found the right choice.

The funny thing is these concepts were part of an effort to lay out the premises for writhing the perfect love song. They were conceived by me nearly forty five years ago. But I got it back wards. Writing about the perfect love does not sell. Writing about broken hearts and unhappiness makes for a hit love song.

I no longer crave to write the perfect love song. But in retrospect, it seems true that the best songs were written by looking inward. I tried to observe and look outward and failed.

But in some respects I am still a young warrior wanting to show his strength and power to win the heart of he pretty young damsel. I may never have grown up. Only the definition of what constitutes a pretty yong damsel has changed. I am getting old. Woman under fifty all look like daughters to me.
