Thrift shops, is that what you call charity shops over your side. I'm always in them either donating stuff the kids have grown out out or I don't need or I'm bargin hunting. I'm always finding realy good stuff, top brand name clothes for us for next to nothing; I found Javan a designer coat this winter just gone, it didn't have any tags on but I recon it was new, 50p I payed. If I'd have gone to the shop to but it I'd have forked out nearer £60. No one would beleive I'd only payed 50p for it.

Seeing as Wyld probly knows me best, ( well Sprark does too, but he knows I'm straight). but to quote Wyldflower
Quote:
just maybe rb would like it


Damn straight I would. I'm human..... Maybe I need a 3 some, or a 4 some, as 150 days today of house arrest has me bouncing round the room. not in a good way... I'm so fucking stressed out about going to the court on the 7th, it aint even funny. Plea bargains aren't written in stone...

I told an old friend of mine Nathen ( stick man ) when I first met him... I suffer from grandious thoughts, thoughts of gradeur... but I'm past that now. I'm in the paranoia state... And N8 said, that's okay dude, but whos that looking over your shoulder....????

U had to be there......

I got baby picutures, and when I'm not feeling so stressed, I'll send you all some....


Think what you may, but I thank God, Allmighty, I have you all for friends. Without you, I would be bouncing round the room.... In a fucking nut ward....

I love you all... Thank you for your unconditional support in my time of 'just another near death experience....

I think of you, I can feel your spririt's, coming in on the next breeze, like a bump on my big toe, that tells me, I am not alone. And this cruel joke that God laid on me, by giving me bad genes, and making me bi-polar... It's just a test. Maybe I did too much ACID....???? And it has a accumulative effect.... My Pschciatrist tells me my I.Q. is around 150, but with manic-depression and yrs. of drug abuse, theres little I can do, to win a pulitizer prize...... In my way of thinking, if anyone one person deserved the Nobel Peace prize it would be me..... ( Grandious thinking) I'd take a bullet if it would solve world peace......I could go on..... I aint bragging, I'm not complaining. it's somewhere in between..... I am harmless tho.... I wouldn't hurt a fly...... SQUASH<<<<<< BASTARDS, and theres only one....

Take all the credit, Agnes, Sparky, Terrie, Wyldflower, Cheryl, ( in no paticular order) for helping me thru all this... Life's a bitch and then you die... It's because of you all, Rob will die a happy man........ And Arlo... Well that's a tune for another day......... He knows I love him..... Without him ( Dave ) I wouldn't be where I'm at.....

If this sounds melencholy, so you'll know, I'll be okay.......

Piece out as always/ Rob...... " Fight the good fight" ( T. Goodman )

i'm not sure why it suddenly made the shift from moon to microphone other than a context thing. probably a brightness contrast adjustment to the monitor would clear it up but i kind of like it how it is.
i do have a pair of bright red rimmed +1.00 glasses i got from the thrift store that i got for reading small print. i love those glasses.
my dad uses a similar kind of glasses (the kind you buy of the rack at the grocery store or wherever) that were in disrepair since he sat on them, but put them back together with pieces of bent wire making me think of a mad scientist especially when he's out on the step tapping out morse code.

howdy mizz fitz!

Sounds like my glasses. One rim broke off on the side & they can't be fixed. I can't afford a new pair right now so I tpaed them up. I just use them for driving mostly...

I had the nicest surprise last night. Went to Jackson to visit a friend of mine and there was a car show. Haven't been to a car show in a long time. A Jackson dream cruise. Guess there's a race out that way today, the Indy drivers were there too.

This mornin' I went downtown A2 and ran into a man we call Shakey Jake. Jake was always hangin out on street corners and playing his guitar. He's not a young person, probably got to be at least 80 something.

They have 2 antique car shows around here. The one at Food Lion in Hopewell, VA & the one at Hardeees in Chester, VA. We like to go to those. I love antique cars. Wish I could afford one. I tell Mike you are so lucky to have a wife who likes antique cars lol...

It's kewl here in north NY. This a.m.... Thunder showers late last evening no dought cooled things off. Truth being we're just not used to the heat. I wish you could make it stateside, Spark. I'd give you some A.C. I have two of them ( small units 5000 btu's) that are gonna be in a lawn sale, anyday now. as the first of August will seem like sept, as it has for the last 7ral yrs. Glomal warming doesn't seem to be effecting our summers too much...

but it's pretty wierd in the winter... altho it was cold we had ZERO amt of snow fall.... What snow we did have melted... and it was a green Xmas and less than 8 inches at anyone given time, all last winter here in St. Lawrence Co.... Altho, I blame the cold weather for lack of snow. I usually bank my foundation, about 4 - 5 ft, with the white packy stuff...... Snow makes it warmer in the winter, as it's a great insulater, in allot of respects...

Piece out Sparky...... I feel bad now I didn't send you a fan.... You'd probly be getting it any day ( wk ) now...... Canadian Mail sucks. I have to send my brother a birthday card a mnth in advance.... but he lives in Quebec... Ontario might be quicker...????

Kewl weather forcast from August on.....( BUT LORD KNOWS I've been wrong before...... )
