January 21, 2006 - Msg 33093: Hey, Bulbsie. You're right, this is not the place to get into some subjects, and I shouldn't have done so. Everyone has to make their own choices.

As for Hoss Cartwright, I had the same episode on TV, but only half-heard the dialog, as I was in another room. I think I heard the name correctly, but will not mention it just yet, in case some others want to join in who didn't hear it spoken.

I just heard on the news that the poor whale died. So sad for him. Its funny because just last week we had a couple of whales here in Corpus Christi Bay, which just never happens. They got out safely, though. Wonder what those whales are thinking? I have a real soft spot for aquatic mammals. Manatees are my very favorite. I can't bear to think about what the whaling ships do.

I think I have gotten a revelation about my self this weekend. I am beginning to realize that I get too upset over the fact that I can't "fix" things for everybody. I have to learn to let go and let people live with the consequences of their decisions. They don't have to take my advice, who am I anyway? I'm going to quit getting all torn up about things I can't control. There, I said it! It doesn't mean I don't care its just the truth.

I am going to try to have a stress-free evening (well as much as possible with kids around). My kids are 6 years apart and still fight. Erin does her best to aggravate her brother.

Hazel, I am stumped over your last quote and can't figure out what episode it is from.

January 21, 2006 - Msg 33104: I don't know that there were completely different sets, but there were some modifications made now and then. For example, as you face the cells, at one time there was a door on the left, between the cells and the exterior wall. It must have been intended to be a closet, because the space was very small, couldn't have been much else. Later, that door disappeared and there was a heater there. I don't recall noticing that there was no window to the right of the front door, viewed from inside. Guess I missed that.

Another thing I've wondered about is the windows into the cells. We would assume there is glass in those windows somewhere, but where? The window sort of slopes down, being lower on the inside than on the outside, so if the glass is inside, it seems that water would accumulate. It can't be outside the bars, because in the Christmas episode, old Ben is seen standing at the window, holding onto the bars as he sings along. And speaking of those windows, how is it that they even exist, seeing as the court house is on the corner, next to a long row of shops, including the barber shop? The Christmas ep shows them as opening onto an alley, yet the layout of the court house would make the back of the cells on the common wall with the shops. Am I confused here?

Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

January 22, 2006 - Msg 33108: Good morning, everyone. I'm not in church this morning. Had planned to be, but have my 4-yr old grandson with me and he's not feeling well. I took him to the Stars on Ice show last night. We rode the commuter train into Dallas and back (big thrill for that choo-choo lovin' boy), the ONLY way to go. I'm sure we were home and in our jammies by the time the drivers got out of the parking lot. What a mess. Anyway, grandson is congested and coughing this morning and I didn't want to take him to church and infect all the other kids. So, will take him back to his parents this evening. He's watching "Ice Age" right now, and I'm about to make him some scrambled eggs and hash browns and bacon. (Might have a bit of that myself!)

The ice show was wonderful. Scott Hamilton hosts, mostly by voice, but he did skate one routine. He's still got it.

We had rain!! Rain, can you believe it? Not sure how much, but we had thunder and a light show in the middle of the night, and it's still soggy out there. The squirrels turned my rain gauge over, so I don't know what we got. Whatever, it was needed and welcome.

Well, gotta go feed the kid. Tell Rev. Tucker I'm sorry I missed services. Sugarplum says hey! --Romeena

Hey to Me-They! With the price of those strawberries, you and the Mrs are gonna have a million dollar baby! ; ) Strawberries here are 2.99 a pack. My cravings have favored sandwiches and cream of chicken noodle (cream of chicken mixed with egg noodles).

Spot - didn't the Teddy Roosevelt reference come from the TR on the cannon in "The Horse Trader" episode. Music Under the Stars was in reference to the band concert they were going to have in "A Sermon For Today", and Lee Drake was the lady lawyer in "A Trip to Raleigh" (color episode)

Hey to Mrs Wiley and Dix as well. Good to see both of you.

BTW - did anyone ever figure out who Andy's 5th grade crush was? If ya'll give up, I'll tell ya.

Prayers for your friends and their situation, Boo. Enjoyed the pictures of your family. We rode the Branson Scenic Railway several years ago. I had never ridden a train and it took a little to get acclimated to the trains movement, before getting up and walking around. We went through some tunnels and over some trestles through the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Missouri and Arkansas. We stopped for about 15 minutes on the middle of a high trestle and when we started again, we were heading the opposite direction. That was a little unexpected. My hubby wants to take our daughter on it sometime.

Enjoyed seeing the pic of you, your Mrs (pretty lady), and your Dad too, MDC!

Prayers for all my porchster friends, our leaders and troops and the families of the miners who lost their lives at Melville.

January 23, 2006 - Msg 33126: Good morning, everyone. BOO: Prayers for you and your friend's family. Unfortunately, we have all done wrong and let each other down, intentionally, unintentionally or through plain ignorance. Fortunately, there is one who will never let us down, and forgives if asked.

The Mrs. and I went to see "King Kong" yesterday. It was a good flick, except for the usage of God's and Christ's names in inappropriate ways. Why do they have to do that? They showed a bunch of trailers for movies: "Miami Vice" (did they really need to make this movie?) with Jamie Foxx and Colin Ferrell, and "Charlotte's Web" (looks cute) with Julia Roberts, John Cleese, Dakota Fanning, Oprah, Robert Redford, Reba MacIntyre, and a bunch of others. Another trailer, which really disturbed me, was for "The DaVinci Code." I'm really disappointed that TAGS own Ron Howard and Tom Hanks, whose films I generally like, are involved with this film. For those who don't know, the gist of the story is that Jesus was really married, had a daughter, and the church has been conering up the fact for centuries using lies and murder. It is dangerous because it mixes real historical facts with this "story." Even though the book is a work of fiction, I still come across people who have read it and think it's probably true. Sad.

I just hope that it doesn't generate the same kind of thing that "The Blair Witch" movie did. The setting for that movie was a little town near where I live in Maryland. Because the movie was filmed as though it was "real," a lot of moviegoers actually believed it was! I have friends who live in the town and years later STILL get people who visit to see the various things from the movie (which don't exist). When they tell them that the movie isn't real, a lot of them think that they are lying to cover up the truth.

To make matters worse, the website for "The DaVinci Code" movie was "Seek the truth," or something similar (I can't remember exactly). Well, friends, in my opinion, that's not the truth we should be seeking.

I'll just off my soapbox now. Sorry.

Fred, I love that new bed. Hasn't fixed my back problem - that was asking a bit much - but it is extremely comfortable. Those memory foam mattresses are thick, though - do you have enough overhead clearance in the sleeper, or would you be sandwiched in?

I remember once when I was very small, my dad was painting the outside of our house. My cousin and I wanted to "help", so he gave us a bucket of water and two big brushes and told us to paint the trees.

January 24, 2006 - Msg 33151: Hey porch! It's so good to see you all chatting up a storm here. I enjoy the quoting! I'm so sorry I don't get here as much as I used to. My kids are true teenagers now and they keep me really busy. My son got his driver's permit Friday. He drove on snow for the first time. It's great to see that we have a Fred Goss now. We needed a Fred Goss. Fred, found any pictures of Myrna Loy in anyone's trouser pockets lately? I purged my closet and threw out my dress with 23 rhinestone buttons. Now we need a Leonard Blush. homemaker--one the triplets I'm sure you're referring to goat kids, huh? Did Dixie ever come back and tell us how she embarrassed herself? If she did, I missed the post. How can she leave us with a cliffhanger like that?

January 24, 2006 - Msg 33155: Romeena, yes that was very ingenious of your dad!
My dad did that also with working on the car.
He'd put a bunch of old car parts in our radip flyer wagon and we'd keep "busy" working on them, get all greasy like him, and then we'd all scrub up together with powdered Boraxo! He'd ask, "So, how's yer car runnin' now?" and we'd say Great! Good times.

Been extremely busy at work, the home computer isn't doing so great (so I don't post from home)..plus we have our house for sell. It has to be "show" ready at a moment's notice. So spiffing up is a full time job. Hope everyone is doing well. I should be able to post more as soon as some of this work slows down. (exactly when would that be???)

Guess I'd have to post pictures of my yard, since that's my primary hobby. Speaking of which, it's 60 degrees out there, sunny, breezy and there are plants in need of deep pruning, and a flat of flowers to plant. Guess I'd better get busy.

We think alike, Charlotte. I was thinking the same thing about MDC.

Have a nice night everyone. With calm winds. I've got three BIG trees surrounding our little shack of a house here, and I don't like to think about what they could do should they fall down. Ouch.

I think heaven will have a slice of ALL that is good, so you and all the folks here on the porch will be included, and all of our memories of gentler, simpler times will be there too.

Welcome OK girl, what part of OK are ya from?
Asa- you caught that eh, good one. That was a good show.
Anyone see the PBS program about John Adams the other night? It was very good. He was the one who went to the French to ask for their help in 1777.

Hey to everybody. I wanted to let you know I am without a computer for awhile so if you don't hear from me, don't worry.

MDC, no, the folks who had their house raided weren't the ones with the pitbull. They are friends of our and church memeber and they are in a mess of trouble. Speaking fo pitbulls, we had a 2 year old attacked by a pitbull near here yesterday. The dog was a family pet that was chained in the backyard at the time. The two year old family member got too close to the dog's food bowl and the dog attacked him. They took him by helicopter to the children's hospital and he is going to be ok, has lacerations to the head and face and I think the dog got one of his eyes. Poor little thing. It didn't make me feel any better about pitbulls, sorry. I haven't been able to do anything about the one down the street from me but I went down to take a closer look at the situation and found that the dog is on a very thick chain that appears to be well-secured. Its not enough for me, though. In my opinion a vicious dog shouldn't be allowed in a neighborhood full of kids. Guess I will keep trying....

Have a good day and I will chack in when I can.

Boo
