Oh yea, that was a good one.. I just wish I had a chance to put them all in. I could write a book with all the ones I wrote in 7 years.
Why Thankyou Amy.. that is sweet of you to say..
Quiet and shy. :)
Been on my profile page again I see. ;-) LOL. You are welcome there anytime.
ST.LOUIE1 found that graphic somewhere during his travels through the internet and sent it to me for my page. (Most everything on my page has come from him.) Apparently someone named "Raven" made it. Anyway, we've all "lifted" these graphics off of the internet, so they belong to everyone, I guess. It's yours to use it however, wherever you'd like. :-)
BTW, my mother says there was a Stone family who had a farm on West Union. She says she remembers a Warren (?) Stone who asked her to go skating once on the Mill Pond. Anyway, my grandparents (the Mason's) owned the farm just down from them. She says there was a dentist, Dr. Thompson, who had an office on Main Street, but that he and his wife had no children.
I hope your Dad is able to connect some of the dots here. But, since most everyone else is probably not terribly interested in all this, I will send you freepmail later this afternoon with more. :-)
Thanks for the update on your friend Russ. I will continue to keep him and his family in my prayers. And, congratulations on being our featured FReeper today. You are special around these parts. ;-)
Heyyyy, Tonk! Thank you. Thanks for coming by to congratulate 'hiz honor' today. :)
Don't worry I won't tell anyone, hehe.... (I was born in MA) oops, it slipped
You *go* Rus! :-)
I will! Thanks
Worcestor, my uncle had an antique store there for years. It was on Highland Street I think..
Hey .45MAN....ring a bell? :-)
I'll take that as a "no" to the raise.....[sigh]
Shot down again.
:-)
Billie, we love these tributes to Special Persons and getting to know them better, but when it is one of Our Own, it is pure joy to honor the recipient!
Rus slipped into our midst some time ago.
First, the cups of steaming coffee in the lovely purple cup to get us going - then with them, more recently, words to give us pause daily for thoughts about The Source of All Blessings.
We have come here to The Finest for the wonderful peaceful place it is, and in the process have become an extended family.
Thank you, Rus, for who and what you are, and what you bring out in us.
Mrs. The Mayor, it would be our pleasure if you were to register and post frequently, too!
All who enter this room love what Rus has told us of you and your beautiful family.
We roam all over the map in our varying moods, but the glue that holds us together is our faith and common vision of what Our America should be.
You would be such a welcome addition!
May God hold you close to Him and bless you . . .
T Man, do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with a comeback when you have me laughing so hard at your comebacks! So I guess I'll just have to do this again:
However, one of these days your comeuppance will come back and make you sorry you came up with so many tacky comebacks.
Shhhhhhh, don't wake him. :)
See, T Man, it had to happen one day ... you just can't continue to be mean to all of us poor defenseless damsels forever.
LadyX, it is now 4 against 1. I don't know if I can hold out much longer. Helppppp........
She won't help you.... she loves me..."
Well, if there are Pickles in Life, this surely is a Big Gherkin !!
I love 'everybuddy' here, of course !!
However, some days just have to be engaged on the side of the Undie Dog...:))
Therefore, I am pledged to protect and defend my hero,
The Thin Man, against these totally unprovoked jibes.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I must log off for a few hours.
My daughter is here to help me clean, and I am occupying the next spot in her path!
HOLD ON, TMAN !!
I shall be back to defend you properly this evening!
I think we should freep mail everyone and see who responds. I agree that we need to get back together. We just need to make it happen.
And...what's your take on the elections in WNY this week?
It was a very interesting day Tuesday. I knew Giambra would win, Dan Ward offered the same old tax and spend liberal way, the way that has buried WNY in all the years past. It hurts to see that the legislature is back in control of the demonrats, it may be short lived though. Swanick (my buddy) was re-elected running on just the Ind and Conservative lines. If he gets re-elected Chairman, the Giambra plan will get some more forward motion. If not then we could be in for a big power struggle.
As you know the dems are completly against any type of regionalism and will fight tooth and nail to stop it dead in it's tracks. If they could only start working for the "People", Erie county could come back to life. Erie County government is still the largest employer in Erie County, that is so sad and is one of the things that is keeping us back. Of course Buffalo being led by the inept Tony Marshmellow is a lead weight that keeps pulling us down to the bottom of the lake.
I still hold the E.C. Republican party responsible for the cities continued woes, instead of endorsing a good republican (choke) to run against him they chose the low road and agreed to step aside as long as marshmellow endorsed Pataki. The same thing happened here on the island. The supervisor endorsed Giambra so no challanger was put up against him. That strikes a wrong cord with me. It just shows me that the republicans can be sold for a price, and that price is to 'put aside everything that you stand for, and sell out the electorate'.
See I'm getting off on a rant. I wrote my name in for supervisor, and for one of the town council seats, then only voted for a friend of mine. One of these days, and hopefully soon, the republicans here on Grand Island will put up a candidate that is worthy of running, it most likely won't be me cause I stand up to my principals and core beliefs and can not be bought for any price. < / rant >
I feel a letter to the editor coming on.. oh boy..........
