Things You Love

The fact that I chose to spend the rest of my days with my wife, and she chose in turn to saddle herself with the likes of me, is proof positive which of the two of us is the smarter one.

Dude -- so there....

;)

Of course we end up in that "my wife isn't an idiot but why did she pick me..." thing.  We can't win, but we can be grateful.

You incorrigibble vagabond! How dare you! 


Only from the standpoint that I only know of that steak because I served it much more than I ate it.

But I would use my employee discount to buy one rare (to take home and finish cooking) at least once a week.

Ha! A pretentious asshole who has an excuse, what a concept. 

I am studying this list.... http://www.virtualsalt.com/vocablst.htm ... stand back.

What reckless appurtenance! (is anything more funny than a pret, a-hole using a big word wrong?)

I love my wife.  I married "up."  I don't deserve her but I spend all my time trying to make it up tp the bottom rung of the ladder.

I love/d my beloved kitties -- Neysa (d/18yo) and Musica (d/25/yo) -- more on another post.

My Mom was the finest woman to ever draw breath.  She SINGLE-HANDEDLY raised 7 kids alone.  Yeah, Dad was around and tossed in a few shekels but he didn't really contribute.  Picture this my friends:  A woman, divorced with 7 kids -- many "gifted" (=pain in the ass) who works all day to keep the house running, then goes to college in the evening and gets an AA and a great accounting job and ends up writing accounting procedure manuals for ADP - corporate!

And I was the worst.  I probably took 10 or 20 years off of her life.

She was so shamed to take welfare, but did it for our sakes.  She dedicated every waking moment to getting off it. She taught all of us the meaning of self-respect and self-reliance.  She died in her early 60s from just too much life and too few breaks.  She taught all of us the wonderment of reading and the importance of grammar and the proper use of the English Language.

She worked so hard, for so long.  She achieved her goal of getting us off of welfare.  20 hours a day for 15 years -- how hard could that have been, right?

I remember her crying alone when things were bad -- money short, maybe the house at risk.  But she always shielded us from the day to day problems: something todays parents DON'T do.


What an idiot I was not to see her, talk to her, call her more often.  She wasn't that far away.

When I was young -- 13-15 yo, we used to talk all night.  It would be 3:00 AM when she would send me, finally to bed.  She was so smart, and intelligent!  We would debate Heinlein, Jose Farmer, Chaucer, John D MacDonald, Asimov, Solzenitzen, Shakespeare, Chekov (the writer and sometimes the navigator), did I mention John D MacDonald? Oh those nightly discussions about Travis McGee (and his friend Mayer) , Lazarus Long, even the Stainless Steel Rat (to which we would laugh and laugh).

You want love?  My Mom was the definition of love: self sacrifice (to a painful level), patience, clear and solid values, patience.  Did I mention patience?

She died from sheer exhaustion.  7 kids -- +2 who died ( 1 SIDS, 1 pneumonia)

I miss her so. And am daily humbled by her example. 

My friends, to have such a wonderful mother who walked the walk.  Who worked so hard that it killed her so young.

And she was SO beloved in the community!  The entire neighborhood had the word out -- even after it became the barrio:  "Nobody messes with Moms" (which was how she was known).

If I am ever an asshole, please remind me of the legacy I carry.

Yes my friends, I have known Love.  Twice (+6 for my brothers and sisters).

What a lovely tribute to your Mother.....you do know that she's the little voice you hear when you need help, praise, or you're about to do something dumb, don't you?  <<<<hugs>>>>

[Schadenfreude]

I see them all the time.

Remember the line, I see dead people?.... welll I see pretentious assholes who use big words wrong.

Jeeze do I know it. And Mrs. FD also knows it!

Thanks deb!

The one thing we all know about love is that is transcends life as we know it.  And explains love as we should know it.

Too much time at DU or CU.

Honey, how many time have I tried to tell you!!!...

What things do you love?

I love making the sheets dirty.

I think you meant "Impertinence," my friend.  A reckless appurtenance would be more like a derelict outbuilding about to fall on somebody!

That's kinda creepy 'cause you're single...

My Wife

My daughter

 The once a year Mornings and evenings at Rock Lake. Mirror smooth water, surrounded by jagged peaks, in colors ranging from dark grey to rust red. Sunsets to die for.
 The trout there are eager and willing to take my offerings.
I feel closer to God there than anywhere else. To me it is heaven on earth. Just seeing it has made me cry. Never have I known such peace in my soul, as when I spend time at this small lake. I will sorely miss it when my time comes.

1) Guys are only allowed to cry when they see Old Yeller get it.

2) If that place is heaven for you then God will certainly let you spend eternity there (or a copy thereof).  And your loved ones from before and later will enjoy it with you.  God's Omnipotence is cool that way.

Things I Love:

That would be THOR for all the comfort he gives me in times of worry and distress.

His way of making me feel special.

Along with standing in waterfalls or showers with lots of flora, and the heavy scent of perfume from all sorts of flora.

Sitting on beaches at sunset listening to the waves lap and music to sooth the beast.

Coffee at sunrise sitting on the deck with a slight cool breeze in spring or fall.

Lying in a field of tall cool blue green grass watching the fluffy white clouds floating by.

Sharing life with someone special.

Spending time with the one I Love sitting by a camp or bond fire snuggle in a blanket together, watch the star.
