Little Rock is the capital and the most populous city of the U.S. state of Arkansas. It is also the county seat of Pulaski County. It was incorporated on November 7, 1831 on the south bank of the Arkansas River very near the geographic center of the state. The city derives its name from a rock formation along the river, named "La Petite Roche" by the French in 1799. The capital of the Arkansas Territory was moved to Little Rock from Arkansas Post in 1821. The city's population was 193,524 at the 2010 census.

Hoosiermama wanted me to post the text here.
“Thank all of you for the prayers. Not only was I at peace but actually had joy in my heart during the MRI. If you have ever had one you know how the rhythmic cacophony can be unnerving. Instead my mind was filled with thoughts that with the addition of a cello , saxophone and a bit more cowbell the “music†would rival any of the early 20th century atonal music compositions The more I thought about having to sit through those as a college student the more difficult it became to contain my laughter!
The assistant was a former student (think I had her parents too). The actual technician assured me that in just the last ten years the way pituitary tumors were viewed had changed greatly. She said further advancements have been made in the last five. PTL for that wonderful news
I also thank him daily that they found “nothing in there†when they repeatedly examined the brain in 1990’s. Today’s medical equipment and knowledge far exceeds the capabilities of that time. (It’s hereditary a cousin had surgery at that time)
Now the wait for results. Good down time expected on the Trump Rally Threads.
Nik will you post this on that thread too. Need to make some phone calls
Again thank you all. GOD IS GOOD..... ALL THE TIME!
It’s in His hands. Saw a sparrow upon leaving the hospitol. I KNOW HE watches me!” Hoosiermama
Players up! May God guide your doctors and guide their hands. Seattle conservative, wonderful post. See y’all tonight.
7,500. It’s a basketball arena.
Agapas O’ Trump? :-)
Yep!
That’s a great story. Have you kept in touch with him?
Brooks Robinson’s, (The Answer to the 3rd Trivia)son lives here in LaGrange. We’re good friends.
I realized that soon after this was posted. I’m embarrassed, but glad too, because I would have been worried about all the empty seats.
nikos, no I lost touch with him after LL and we went separate ways. I moved up to HS baseball and did quite well as a Pitcher & 3rd baseman...but that blonde moved next door and my life changed.
A quick follow-up to my story...
In LL, I played mainly 2nd base. Although my BA was 2x Steve’s, his throws to 2nd base would REALLY burn my glove hand. He had a hellava arm even back then as a kid.
Nothing for you to be embarrassed about!
I used to live close enough to War Memorial Stadium (LR home for the Razorbacks) to hear the chants of “woooooooooo-pig, souie” on a fairly regular basis.
I think everyone has their lament. My room mate in college was drafted to the Baltimore organization about the time there was a need for left handers. He was big and could hit the heck out of the ball. They’d get him in games just so he could get the at bats.
I told him, just one year in MLB you can write you ticket. Anyway, he made it into Law School, decided not to show up for the next season. Wasn’t cut. He’s never looked back. Happily married the world is his oyster.
I was a drama major. I had some talent, but you go into acting mainly if you have the drop good looks which I did, til the hair thinned. I was in that same group of Speilberg and the others who were into the movie making end of it. I didn’t know there was anything more than acting.
Anyway, I switched to medicine. Then, on a whim, Ten years ago I started writing plays, so came full circle. I would have starved as an actor. I can’t imagine not being in medicine, but the joy of watching people perform your work is a high, probably second to someone singing your music.
I’m excited about a candidate for like the third time in my life. I was too young to know the bad things about Kennedy, and I probably even at that age was more in line with republicans, who my parents supported, but my life changed the day Kennedy was killed. If I ever get the chance I would ask Trump to tell us what he was doing when he heard about it. The second person, of course, was Reagan.
Trump is our connection to the past. You see it in his dress, his manners, his work ethic, his kids, his energy, is aggressiveness. That’s why we need him as president.
We’re Americans. We’re a tough bunch especially when someone messes with us, or when we want something. WE’re proud to the point of people not liking us.
The idea of taking from one of us to give it someone else goes against our self reliance and independence. Not talking about the truly needy, but that’s what our church’s and charities do.
The idea that people are coming here to take and not assimilate bothers me. Trump gets it. The others are too young to know this.
Anyway, enough of this monologue.
Go Trump!!!
Hahaha. Wouldn’t that be funny if he give the yell tonight. He did it in Ohio, remember with O-H...I-O! wasn’t it?
Prayers, hugs, and only good thoughts!
Hope she’s feeling well enough to join us later?
BTW you want to tag team with this guy ETL? He’s been on my case all day.
See around post #225 for the exchange. Vintage Trolling.

What a great post; thanks for reposting it! I’m SO glad to hear that our good friend is so upbeat.
How did he commit voter fraud? Oh, you mean by saying Carson dropped out? How did he do this?
I hope that you’re sleeping the afternoon away and come join us all, later, for a happy, relaxed rally thread.
After I posted it I so that it was posted before by you guys.
Cruz is a liar, crooked little toad and Trump is more STABLE than they whole pack of candidates put together.
