Mockingbird

Funny, I don't recall hearing any proclamation of "We've Won!" in the past three years, except for reports of success in one specific area taken out of context by opponents of this war. (Not to infer that I'm a supporter of war...) Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

There ya' go. Why haven't they thought of this? Good one. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

I was never diagnosed with ADD; don't even know if a diagnosis existed when I was a student in the sixties and seventies, but I sure fit the bill, and still do. It's very frustrating. Sometimes I can barely finish a sentence because of the distractions. Ooooo, it was frustrating as a student not to "get" stuff and to always get sub-standard grades. For a long time I just thought I was stupid. It's good to be a "grown up." Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Very nice! I used to draw but no where near that good! Wish I had time to take a fun class like that. It looks very realistic. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Aww Chris, I'm sorry to hear that! Maybe you're feeling better now that it's been 12 hours since you posted. I hope so anyway. God bless you, bro. Cannie Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

That's how I did it too, fallinbear. I picked a date just like you. I actually started looking forward to it to see how... well, just to watch it unfold. I had a small support group, too, and that helped. Mind if I PM you-- I have a tiny sliver of advice that you possibly haven't thought of. You go, man!!! WoooHOOOO! Freedom; it's a wonderful thing!

Wow, congratulations!!!

I think I know what you mean. I smoked for 17 years. It was so hard to quit. Was unsuccessful the first couple of times I tried. Third time was a charm! I could probably get hooked again if I had a cigarette, so I don't chance it. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Yeah, I kinda thought that's what you meant. Hee hee. Let's see, do I ever drink alcohol? Yes. The last time I had any was the middle of January when I took a sip of my brother's margarita. It was very good. The time before that was a margarita at Saltgrass Steakhouse. It was crummy. I didn't even finish it. The time before that was last summer; I had one of those Seagram's Coolers. I have to admit that I have issues with alcohol "use." My big brother drowned under the influence. People say and do stupid things when they're drunk, the worst being getting behind the wheel of a car. Some can drink and not get carried away; that's fine. I just don't want them endangering others. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

"Use" alcohol? No.

I have no use for either; why do you ask? Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

I'll never take coke or marijuana, so we'll never find out, will we? Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

I'm not good at Math either, but this is a fun challenge. Here's how someone with ADD would figure it out... The average of 88.75 + 88.75 + 88.75 + 105 is 92.8. I think your current grade is 92.8 ???????????????? Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Absolutely... NOT!!!!!!! Ruins lives. Dope sucks. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

I remember that decade! It only gets better... okay, well, in some ways! Happy Birthday, ExAFO! Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Between now (10 pm) and 10 am tomorrow? No one but my dogs! (Gee, what a comforting thought... ) But by 1:30 pm tomorrow when I didn't show up at work, it would be noticed. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

What a cute couple! Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Dave, Thanks! The one with the hole in the main is good, and I already had a good line-twist photo; some of the others are hard to tell what's wrong. But thank you. Please do update when you can; it's such a help in doing drills! Thanks, too, for all you do with your website. It's great. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Is there a section on dz.com with more malfunction pictures? They're awfully helpful in drilling EPs. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Same here, Scoop. I need that canopy course BIG time... Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

No one's mentioned the fact (which all of us have witnessed at one time or another probably) that power has a way of corrupting people. Some start thinking that they're invulnerable. ?????????? Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Thanks, JENNR8R--- will do. God bless ya', Kathleen! (Hooray for Moms!)

Yup, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He's a doll alright. Blue skies & happy jitters ~Mockingbird "Why is there something rather than nothing?"

Go Puppies!!!

Happy Birthday, Steve! I read the blog entry you referred to and found it enjoyable. I wanted to add a cross-reference (Heb. 1:3 !!!!!!!!!!
