Life is Good ... but you can't be 41 forever

I was going to post that letter to you because of the thoughtful remarks you made in #73, but then I thought "she will wonder where the heck I am coming from," so I changed the To: to All. And yet you got the message anyway. Great!

PS: Travis shares the same mother.

Well, I'm real glad you posted it. How nice to have a real life FReeper brother. LOL. You're family sounds as conservative as mine.

I see no reason for him to "dial it down" a notch. He has what he has, and need not be embarrassed to say so. Why are those who have a degree of wealth expected to pretend that we don't? Should I not buy that new sports car I want lest someone think I'm flaunting it?

George P. is getting married??? I'll be crying in my pillow tonight!

[wardaddy]

Wow...sounds like he's living damn well for 80.

Sharp as a whip!!

Bump and I'm still sorry I didn't vote for him in '91. I was a fool and voted Perot! A FOOL I WAS!

What a wonderful man. I contrast this article with something BJ will write when he turns 65.

"I still got it! Now I want you to listen to me, because I have something to say, and I want you to know, I mean it. Woman still thrill me, and I thrill them. Sometimes my knees hurt from chasing them around my Harlem office, but my goal when I reach 75 is still be able to tackle them and place their hand on my groin."

An excellent post. Amd the Satchel quote stimulates me to post one of the (possibly) greatest pitcher who ever lived's quotes I've been thinking about lately (especially since the Cosby truthtelling): "Ain't nobody can help being born average. But ain't nobody has to be common."

Were you raised this way by your parents? I think not, but your surrogate loud mouths on TV have done you a complete disservice. As far as jealous, you're wrong, but most loud mouths are usually wrong.

This post was just as nonsensical, as your last one to me.

My point was that you are showing your green streak, all the way up and down your belly!

As for surrogates, I don't need one. As to loud mouth, I speak quite softly. I carry a big S&W! I have it because I spend a lot of time in the woods.

Of course, I also spend a lot of time on my boats, and we have 9 cars. They are all paid for, also...

My four houses, in four states, are paid for, as well...

As for jealousy, you lose! It shows all the way here in WV!

I have nothing but admiration for any 80 year old, that jumps out of airplanes!!! I never did. I like to fly, and land with wheels (or pontoons)!

God bless President George Herbert Walker Bush, a great patriot and a fine president.

God bless President George Walker Bush, a brave, selfless, and courageous man shaped in the mold of his father.

God bless all who serve the ideals, values, and freedom of our great nation, in the past, in the present, in the future and forevermore.

"Ain't nobody can help being born average. But ain't nobody has to be common."

I like that. Wise words. :)

[Darlin']

I second that. :)

I'll be 41 next week, and I can't wait...LOL!!

Bush, Sr. always was a nice man, just a major disappointment as POTUS...MUD

At 80, there are a lot of breathtaking sunrises ahead, and many brilliant sunsets, too.

:-) Nice outlook

[Samwise]

No, but you can be 39 forever. :^)

No, but you can be 39 forever. :^)


My thoughts exactly. :-)
