oh cat cwap, I just realized it ain't Sunday! It is Sabbath, tho....
Dang telelmarketers, guess they good for something, I almost cussed one out for calling on Sunday! LOL!
Dang Gregorian fella, too always thinking to mess with the times.....
guess I'm on cat time

Reminds me of a story many years ago.
Probably 20-25 years ago...

Y'all want another of "Scott's Stories?"

Yep. Figgered ya did....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EARLY...
One Saturday morning,
I was sitting inside my living room,
sipping my first cup of coffee,
with the front door open and the screen door shut.

Always being the observant type,
I noticed "door to door" sales type folks next door.
Guess they were to come to my door next......

OH, Crap! They are dressed up fancy!
That can only mean one thing!

Yep. They are Jehovah's Witnesses!

OK.

I stood just inside the hallway, out of view of the open front door.
They, a pair of "salesmen" knocked on the door.
(They like the "Tag-Team" method, Dig?....)

I said, "Who is it?"

One replied, "Your Salvation. Have you the time to talk about your Salvation?"

Pretty slick, eh?

I said,
"Well, I GOT A LOT of time now, since they FIRED me at the Post Office. I suppose I could listen to you WHILE I CLEAN my guns! You can help!"

I heard a clamor on the porch as they ran down the steps. I think one even fell down and ruined the knee of his "fancy pants."

I lived there for probably 5 years and NO unsolicited callers ever bothered me again.

"Word" musta got out....

My Best Wishes,

Scott


For my Friend, Pat.....



Scott


Speaking of calendars.......

Huh?




"1988 is the same. As 2016."

"And I'll take 'Life' for 'All In' Alex...."

"Also 1960....Yeah. 1960. same as 2016...."

"I save and collect calendars!"

Scott you my friend have been missed. Welcome back. I'm sorry for your loss. My wife is the baby of 7. She lost her father at the age of 10, one week before Christmas. I can't say I've walked in your shoes, but she was my high school sweetheart and I have witnessed her pain for many years. May god be with you at this sorrowful time. I missed you brother!

 

[Togreenfeet]

That's funny. I think we all have a Jehovah Witness story. I just came back from my third trip to the war. Didn't have time for fools..... Just sat down for supper, knock at the door. Two of them fancy dressed men as Scott says . Hi my names Brandon and you must be the man of the house he reaches his hand out and your name is...............Satan..... They left pretty darn quick. Wife called me rude! Don't bother me at dinner time!

You were talking about Dementia, and a song sprung to mine. This might be a little "fast" or "Loud" for some.....



These lyrics lead me to believe...he has been there, or knows somebody whom has.

Hello me, meet the real me
And my misfit's way of life
A dark black past is my
Most valued possession
Hindsight is always 20-20
But looking back it's still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest!

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me and
My air is getting thin
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm chomping at the bit and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets

Hello me, it's me again
You can subdue but never tame me
It gives me a migraine headache
Sinking down to your level
Yea, just keep on thinking it's my fault
And stay an inch or two outta kicking distance
Mankind has got to know
His limitations

Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands and
I don't know where I've been
I'm in trouble for the things
I haven't got to yet
I'm sharpening the axe and my
Palms are getting wet, sweating bullets

Well, me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia
Some day you too will know my pain
And smile it's blacktooth grin
If the war inside my head
Won't take a day off I'll be dead
My icy fingers claw your back
Here I come again

Feeling paranoid
True enemy or false friend?
Anxiety's attacking me
And my air is getting thin
Feeling claustrophobic
Like the walls are closing in
Blood stains on my hands
And I don't know where I've been

Once you committed me
Now you've acquitted me
Claiming validity
For your stupidity
I'm chomping at the bit
I'm sharpening the axe
Here I come again, whoa!
Sweating bullets

My Friend,

This is a genre of music that I have been listening to for some time.

To me, this is tame.

On a possible point of poignancy.....

You said "...it sprung to mind."

Hopefully, you found no resemblance to the song and me.....

I have always been an advocate of Children, animals, Senior Citizens and any one else who needs help.

To know Scott, TRULY know Scott,
there are many layers of the onion to peel....

Great Song, OV!

Hadn't heard it for some time!

Best Wishes,

Scott

PS.

You be da boss! Thanks for the words!

Hey Bill here's a great one for ya. I was getting gas in my truck on post and I had my beret in my side pocket. This Command SGT Major (ask Scott he has more pull than god) he pulls up and gets out and starts getting gas.....I knew something was coming.... I tried not to make eye contact, didn't help..... "hey you, SSG " "CSM me?" Yeah you SSG, where is your beret? It's in my pocket. "Why is it in your pocket and not on your head boy?" I hated being called boy and he wasn't in my unit either. Ok let's pull the trigger...... Because my head won't fit in my pocket! Besides this is a no hat no salute area....... Oh ok..... Then I jumped in my truck and got the hell out of there...... I lied got away with it. CSM's always looking to Jack you up!!!!!! Hehe oh I have some funny stories......,

It's true! I swear to CSM!

NOW is the time to start co-ordinatin' with the misses....

What is to be in this room?
What furniture?
Window coverin's?

Trust me on this, Boss.

Get a map here!

Best,

Always,

Scott

Let me see what I see...

Bifold doors for the closet. Or a left swing 2'8".
Try to avoid seams in rock at outlets.
How's them corners of the walls and ceiling?
The window; You did stuff insulation in the areas around, right?
Exterior trim and caulking, Check!
Crown molding?
Wainscoting? Paneled? To match a wood floor?
A particle board sub-floor. VERY prone to de-lamination, swelling and cause buckling with the slightest of moisture...
Ah, you DO have a router, don't you!

Wish I were there....

Friend,

I make my comments not to criticize but to give my opinion as if I were helping you with your project.

As I told the Supervisor at the Habitat For Humanity build site,
"I want to help in any way I can!"








Postscript-
The veteran moved into this house just about a year ago.

That's how we do it! HOORAH!

These pictures are of the first coat of paint.

Your right about coordinating with the misses. Right now the plans are for it to be my office/eBay/weight bench room. However she wants it to be s a nursery for a future baby she is pushing for us to have...

A friend used to say a shot of whiskey would cure anything ailing him.
He got older and wiser and sicker a time or two that enough whiskey wouldn't help , but is fine now....sorta.

Years ago I was present when a Friend just turned 100.

A local city Newspaper feller come to interview "Gramma Hope."
(Everybody called her, "Gramma...")

He asked, "To what do you owe your longevity?"

Gramma Hope replied, "To the fact I ain't died, yet, Fool!"

Then Gramma Hope said, "Oh. I see what you air about..... Well, youngin',
When I feel sad, I drinks some beer. When I celebrate, I drinks some scotch. and when I wanna dance, I drink Tequila!"
The newspaper feller asked, "What if you aren't feeling bad or happy?"

Gramma said, "I always feel some kinda way, Child. Don't try an' stop me, now"

You know Gramma's ways, right?

DAMN! She could cook!
Best Collard greens EVAH!

"HA! Scott's quite the philosopher, isn't he?"

"A Philanderer, maybe....I suspect...."

For my Friend, Jeff.

We must think alike....



Yes, I still have dreams of classes....
Being naked, no books, no paper, no....

Just found out that I need 2 books for my Spring Semester class.

Sheesh.

Oh well.
Pell covers tuition, I cover the rest.

Scholarships?
This Semester? Nah.....

Looks like I'll sell some more of the currency that I've collected.....

When I Graduate after this Srping, I'll have a Student Debt loan of-----$0!

RAMEN SUCKS!

Best,

Scott

I'm passing through in a hurry.
Dang it Scott, check in more often...

J. Witnesses. Hmm.
I don't despise them, but last time they stuck the doorbell switch to the failed doorbell thingy and a loud moan resulted.
I whipped through the two doors with the wheelchair as dogs were screeching and stopped fast to allow easier standing upright on my one leg and...was standing on one guys foot.
I dug the stuck switch loose and looked at the big eyed victim who's foot I'd flattened and said, "hello".

Take care all....
