Mz. Pixie Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Gunny, You should search some of her posts and you can read all about her husband's EA and how they rebuilt their marriage! Link to post Share on other sites
Becoming Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Same place you got yours, Gunny--school of hard knocks and reading and talking to others for their insights. But, yeah, LJ is the bomb. So are MzP and AG and MH (sorry--just don't know B4R's posts, but I'm sure he/she is, too.) But as you said to Canuck, we're all here to help one another regardless of who we are, where we've come from. We all have something to contribute. For instance, you said in another post, "We're not earthly beings having a spiritual experience; we're spiritual beings having an earthly experience." Fantastic! Nice to know all the s*!t we've gone through can be compost for others, huh? Link to post Share on other sites
dgiirl Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yep, there's a LOT of smart ppl on this site! LJ and MzP are at the top of that list for me, but there are countless others as well. Thanks to every one of you! Link to post Share on other sites
Author Gunny376 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 is this a thread about marijuana? "Toke, toke, toke your joint" "Life is but a dream!" "Merrily, merrily, merrily we float!" "Life is but a dream!" Sorry! Every since I read your thread, I've had that little ditty floating around in my head! And, I had to do something to get it out~! LOL! (From my HS years, 30 years ago!)

Ladyjane14 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 OMG... my head is getting so big I can barely lift it off the keyboard!!! I'm no smarter than anybody else though. I just read alot.... and listen to Country Music, same as Gunny. :bunny: (I haven't heard the new K.T. Oslin yet, just that one song you mentioned. I'm going to have to pick up the CD. It's been years and years since I've heard anything new from her.) I keep up on so many folks posting here at LS, and learn something new every day from all of y'all. Dgiirl, MzPix, Becoming, and Gunny.... who have each caused my to blush today .... I read every scrap you post and then some. It almost makes me miss the 'Rep points', because I find soooo very many posts that are just GENIOUS, but not enough opportunities to say so without taking a thread off-topic.

Author Gunny376 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 I quit listening to Country backwhen I went through the Big "D" in 1990, Hey! Hey! Got an annivesary coming up! The 31st of this month, sixteen years ago ~ is the day I put her and the kids on the plane out of Okinawa, Japan. As I drove back from Naha, I could see that big 747 heading North, (as I was) and it seemed to never have gotten out of sight. Went back to the house, with "When I Called Your Name" by Vince Gill playing in my head. Got drunk on a fifth of 15 year old Barclay Scotch. drinking out of a Flinstone jelly glass, listening to George Jones. Decided I had to give up listening to Country Music ~ listening to that stuff will send you right over the edge for real! I've just now have gotten back to listening to it. I've got Sirius satelitte radio and love listenning to the old classics from the 50's forward on Roadhouse. It takes me back to my childhood days, when I was growing up here in Alabama. I've learned a lot from all of your folks ~ but what shocks me is that the more I learn, the more I find that there is to learn, and know. Its not suppose to be this damn hard. You meet and greet, you date, you court, you fall in love, you get married, you have 2.4 children, mate like rabbits! ROTFLMAO! Yea right! But, seriously ~ LadyJ ~ I didn't know? I thought you might be the Divorce Fairy or Godmother or something? LOL! :bunny: :bunny: Link to post Share on other sites

Becoming Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Got drunk on a fifth of 15 year old Barclay Scotch. drinking out of a Flinstone jelly glass, listening to George Jones. Now there's a country song in the making if ever there was one! Quite the image. My parents lived in LA for awhile. Quite the place, Alabama. I used to think Faulkner was a Gothic writer until I came to know those small Alabama towns and discovered he was just a realist. And my Dad used to drink his fifth of bourbon every night to George Jones. Cannot listen to Geoge Jones without wanting to shake some sense into everyone I meet. Link to post Share on other sites
Mz. Pixie Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Well aren't we all one big heaping bundle of mutual admiration today?? :lmao: I love George Jones!!!! I personally believe that "He stopped loving her today" is one of the greatest songs of all time. I love Conway Twitty and Marty Robbins and Waylon Jennings! I love all kinds of music, so I'm not just a country fan. People crack up at me though when they find out I like those kinds of songs, because it certainly doesn't look like me at all!

Becoming Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Now I will have to agree with MzP about "He Stopped Loving Her Today" That is one good song. And "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" Wow. That song just touches something deep. But I'm listening to Motown these days. "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" and "Ball of Confusion" by the Temptations. Wow! And the band played on. . . .

Author Gunny376 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 In so long as its good music. Even rap ~ Kool Moe D ~ which way old school ~ but he was good and deleivered a positive message - not like some much rap today. But, I listen to it all. Hugh R&B fan from the Old School. Like the Blues, Classical, even "tha Pipes" and of course Marchin Music. I've a Yamaha true surround sound system, which authentically re-creates the accustocal effects of a stadium, rock concert etc. When I lived in an apartment ~ the kids up-stairs would play their music loud. I keep asking them to just to cut the bass down so I could get some sleep (3rd shift at the time). They would for a while, and then right back to it again. Soooooooooooooo, at 6:30 in tha' morning, I come home an popped in the "Greatest Hits of The United States Marine Corps Band" and cranked that sucker up on volume 10! Maxed out the sub-woofer, and it sounded as though I had the band in my apartment. After that we had what you might call an "understanding" Widows started rattling when "Stars and Stripes" forever played. Loved the part with the symbals. "CHINNNNNNG!!!!!" Love George and Conway ~ but when your actually living that s*it! Whoooohoooo! That ain't no joke. "The Bars Are All Closed" "The Closing Of The Door" "The Grand Tour" That ain't no joke! My life became a Country Song. Driving used cars that were in the shop, hitching a ride with friends, bill collectors, divorce lawyers all over my back. It wasn't fun and it wasn't pretty!

Becoming Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 :lmao: My H and I did that with his rock band sound system with five foot speakers all the bells and whistles one a.m., too. We'd tried getting along with the rap of the folks next door at 1-3 a.m., but no! So . . . :lmao: Stars and Stripes Forever and the 1812 Overture. The music stopped. And "The Grand Tour." Yes. That's a good one. I agree about country music. It made me depressed as hell. We got my father into Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra. Neil Diamond good. But when I hear "When I Was Seventeen" I run away even though it's a very good song, it was not a very good year. Later . . . Link to post Share on other sites
