A human error... The man is carrying a great load...sure, some of his own making...but I make similar slips of thought and I am retired.

I would love to know how you are able to insert a photo into your blog. And you just happened to have a camera right there right along side that famous red stapler? Happy that you liked the flowers! Have a great birthday tomorrow.

Heaven! Greywar, I hope it wasn't either. I pray that xtine is just very good at discerning what may be a very common experience in many people's lives.

Reply By: oleteach Posted: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 You don't look old and crusty from your photo. Great post. You have such a great attitude. To me that makes all the difference in the world. Like the old saying goes: Two prisoners looked through their jailhouse bars. One saw mud, the other saw stars.

I could feel your peace! I used to walk outdoors too and loved it, going about 4 miles each day. Now that I have reached an advanced age, I resort to exercise each day on my mini trampoline. It is an exercise promoted by the Air Force. I have been doing this for the last two years, every day for at least 25-40 minutes. It really gets my heart rate up to maximum aerobic rate and my feet do not have to raise more than an inch off the surface, m

What a well-written exposé about what it feels like to be ignored. This could be the exact description of any person’s feeling of utter rejection. I hope that you have not gained this insight from a personal experience. No one deserves that. Everyone is unique and has some contribution to make to this world. You got an insightful for this one.

Sophomore Year and Unexpected Decisions in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

I vacillated but then an event helped me to make up my mind to go back to boarding school rather than stay at home. Mrs. Lux from our parish decided she would send two of her oldest to boarding school. She told my mother that I was welcome to ride with them when they took their daughter, Almira and their son, Richard, to enroll at St. Benedict School. Almir

Right now my biggest concern is how can I change my present blogging e-mail address to a different one. I have clicked on every part of my blog account to see where I could change it but I found nothing. Will I have to st

Reply to Pseudosoldier's Best Articles (According to Greywar) in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I closed my eyes to most of these comments. Thanks for the post. I had a sleepless early morning so I had time to read many of pseudo's posts. What a wealth of information. So far the ones that touched me most were: Support the Troops and the one with the link to Scott Taylor's story. I completely miss what you are getting at in your references to your Irish heritage,,,but then

Thanks for the link. It is hard to understand how one person (Scott Taylor) could endure such torture & fear. Will there ever be an end to similar experiences? Not soon, I don't think.

There go my tears again! How awful! When I see so many cars with those nice yellow and some red, white and blue ribbons on them with the words, "Support our Troops!", I wonder what I can do beside something like that to show my support. I feel quite helpless except for my heartfelt prayers.

Thanks for intro to Salmon Rushdie...I had never heard of him before.. Interesting info about him in Google. Paralogia? Are you sure that is a word or did you just create a new one from para + logia? Couldn't find it in all my dictionaries. I get the gist of it, nevertheless. Keep writing!

Sorry about the double entry and for putting xtine's comment in the wrong blog. Please fix that if you can. So good to see you back expressing yourself so well.

Thanks, son, for attributing your speed reading abilities to my teaching. You did that mostly on your own with your desire to read everything in sight...starting in kindergarten. Yes, xtine, my mom was a wonder, a woman with the patience and courage of a saint, an Irish red-head who guarded her brood with intense love. She lived an admirable life well into her 90's. Having ten lively children must have keep her young in spirit.

A Flashback in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

My life started during a difficult period in America history in 1929. Since I was born right at this time in history, I was known as a "Depression Baby" in my family. Maybe this title came from the name of the era in which I was born, but there may have been other reasons. Was my mother happy with my birth? I was her ninth child. Does this fact say i
