I'll be more active once school is out

I'll be bringing my club dues to the meeting Tuesday.


And you are right about the club members not replying. Back when I first joined I noticed a lack of club participation, and slowly its been getting worse.

Actually I think that is a good turnout for a parade that was set for the middle of a workday.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same snake with two more frogs in his mouth. Life is good in the alabama .

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it. After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut." The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair....and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair." His Dad calmly replied, "Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?'

I need to remember that one when people ask me about cutting my hair.

Finally, she pulls back the covers, raises my gown, and holding my ***** in one hand and my ********* in her other hand she takes a close look and says, "There's nothing wrong with them". i finally pull off my oxygen mask and say slowly, "That was very nice, but listen very, very, closely, are...my...test...results...back?"
lol. If I'm ever in the hospital, I'll be trying that.

Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick, and there, by the workbench, stood good ole Saint Nick!

We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say, and then he said "don’t suppose that you’d trade for my sleigh?" I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin, "but if you’ve got the time we could go for a spin!" His round little mouth all tied up like a bow turned into a smile and he said "Hey, let’s go!!"

So as not to disturb all the neighbors’ retreat. We pushed the mustang quietly to the street. Then taking our places to drift down the hill, I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill. The sound that erupted took him by surprise, but he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes. With the rear tires a’ crying and mufflers at full roar , we headed down the street with pedal to the floor.

And Santa’s grin widened approaching his ears, with every shift up as I went through the gears. Then he yelled, "Can’t recall when I’ve felt so alive!" So I backed off the gas and said "you wanna drive?" Ole Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys, when he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!

The engine exploded with thunderous sound! Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground! Power shift into second, again into third! I sat there just watching, at loss for a word. Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight, "Merry Christmas to all, it’s a very good night

That's terrible. Even though we haven't seen each other in quite a while, and I wasn't there when you went through everything you did a few years ago, I still consider you a good friend. You've been there for me when I was dying of thirst and running like the wind. I wish I would've been able to be there for you in the same way. And if there ever is, let me know. My number hasn't changed all these years, 615-512-5520. It's always good to see you.

And yes I posted that on the form, and sent out emails yet not a single member replied to the thread! I've been working on the show or several weeks. William and I are currently working on a cruise date for jack Daniels. But then again if you are an active member you would I've already known that.
In every organization there is a leading body that makes 90% of stuff happen. But this seems like a different problem. Maybe it's time to ask the membership what they want. Times change and the social culture of the club may have changed. This is an important topic to bring up at one of the meetings and discuss.

I'm so glad to hear it. I know how bad health can change everything now that I'm diabetic. I need to lose about 30lbs right now to get my body feeling better.

I didn't realize how much you wrote and started thinking to myself, "he could write a book." You should! There's just something about your stories that makes me want to read them even when I should be doing something else, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Unhappy

yesterday coming home from work down mooresmill road i noticed up in the distance a small girl about three running around in the front yard dangerously close to the highway .. seemed like she was chasing a butterfly or something .. not knowing what the child would do i quickly slowed down and noticed there was not a single parent in site .. this child was not more than 15 feet from 60 mph traffic .. as i say i had slowed way down and so did the cars behind me and when i got next to the child i blew my horn ... scared the crap out of her .. i saw her jump and say the look of terror on her little face ... but scaring her was not my intention .. my intention was to alert some parent that their child was so close to peril .. driving away i still had not seen an adult

Skip ... what do you know about that crash in arab .. from what i`ve gathered it was two mustangs racing and then the third car with the samir fellow driving was coming the opposite direction with his lights out and hit one of the stangs head on killing both drivers ... why would a fellow be driving with his lights off ..

Off. I'm not Skip, is it okay if I reply? :-)

"<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td class="postbody" valign="top">Ok there was a witness that saw the two cars racing, not sure if there was a witness to the actually wreck yet though... But according to the witness that show them race, the two cars were heading northbound and got caught at a redlight (the one by warehouse grocery if you are fimilar with the area) they took off when it turned green. This is how they know they were racing. The cars were too far ahead for the witness to get any details of the wreck but they saw sparks and when they caught up the wreck had happened and the other mustang was gone.

If you know that spot you know from that redlight to the spot of the wreck is about a mile... So there is no telling how fast they were going. Also theree is a slight curve in the road that would explain why the witness didnt see the actually impact...

As far as the drivers knowing the guy in the toyta. Devon didnt after hearing a couple of his closer friends talk about it. The guy in the other mustan who knows...

I think the most logic explation is the one that the guy left the jet pep just up the road and got on the wrong side of the road.. But that could easily be proven since im sure the gas station has camaras that would see which way he pulled out or if not just prove he was there right before the wreck. </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="genmed" valign="bottom">

I read an article that quoted a fire/rescue person who estimated (based on damage and tracks) that the mustang was going over 120 mph.

But that would be a guess of his based on experience and not actual measurements. The pictures support the estimate though

Yep.
Could have happened to anyone coming down that road, just happened to have happened to a guy street racing. Picture of the front wheel of the Cobra where the driver was supposed to be is nasty. Kid was 21 and just had the Cobra a few months. Police are looking for the other Mustang driver.

I was curious & googled it, it looks horrible. Almost wish I hadn't been so curious.
