hi guys! ...i 'm soooo excited you "all" are still here!
..as for me, i am sorry been away,
but i am still shaaking though not baking [ my wife is much better,
trust me!]
ok? our alaska/
disneyland cruise/trip was darn near prefect.! but the one
the one thing that went wrong....has me a lil'depress.
.
while on the tram in atlanta, this monster/350 lber -6/10 man was
not holding on and crushed me. [ i had to catch him because i was in his
line of fire.] my wife scream..and all i saw, he had an appox. 3mos.
baby in his left hand. catching him took me to the floor. no
one was hurt. except in the exchange he ripped my camera out of
my pocket. [ it had like 1400 pictures.] it has not turned up. but
it might have been knocked under the tram. crazy airport sent me
someone else. i won't ever forget that baby, he was smiling
liked "let's do this again". { boy] .
that camera required a specfic recharger. and not worth much.
80$ brand new. however, it was a
great , great trip!!! 4-ex., @ dinner one night, our server talking
how he never seen a orca yet.. then my wife screamed.."there one
now-surfacing". it made the whole place raced over to our table!
did find the same camera & the same carrying case. the other
one had our address on the memory card. we did buy the cruise
pictures. on the way home, we went passed a terrible semi
wreck. so it isn't the worst thing, by far!
moo? you're so right about the majority posting on the members'
boards. as you all know, i had to get involved & some of the very
un-disney experiences..we have had. { we will never feel safe
@ blt...s/p what we saw going on (nasty) ]. fyi, others also posting
about dvc workers walking in. one had her credit card stolen. this
was early this year but after we were there. now i read another
cc incident 2 akl. did you know they fired the dvc president?
oh, just like to re-visit, the thing about the osu coach. the point
wasn't about "football" but being done wrong by those in authority
positions. as you know, i had to face a serious wrong done to me,
where the legal system - were doing illegal stuff. i do like college
football but only in general & mostly what "it can be" for all the players
and their families. and especially for the bands.
oh, moo? did i tell you, i ran into the msu players again, @ universal?!
..the band was playing there too! the 2 things i really admired
the osu coach was the troy smith won the h. trophy. football
turned his life around from the gangs. also how he respected
other teams/coaches by never running up any score.
what sports ill. did should be criminal if not already. anyhoo, the facts
will come out. this is really strange... situation. the fact is, the original
violations were small ones. the the coach mishandled it but exactly
how isn't understood. why do colleges give the players stuff if
what they do with it can be against the rules?! also the ncaa are
expecting coaches/all coaches to assume a parent role with
their players- is simply impossible. the players are adults/young
adults that are likely to make errors in judgment. as we traveled,
many people i talk too- can't believe this is happening.
sports ill. @ the end of the article made the comment that "he proved",
the only goal was to do anything to win. oh really?! you can't imagine
how that burns! they are ignoring the terrible cheating going on
the field. { not talking about the players, or teams, or coaches, or fans
or families....}. they - sports ill. need to revisit/reread their 1990
article after colorado was given 5 downs ( each team only get 4)
to beat mizz. tigers. how important that action ? 3 mos later
colorado "wins" the national championship. i feel bad anytime
i see wrongful acts being done against any team. as far as i am
concern, mich.- not usc, won the 79 rose bowl.
they do all of this?#! over this & yet ignored what happened @ cincy
when their coach left them ( 11-0) right before the major bowl
game. fla killed them but they didn't win nothing. this hurt both
teams, and all involved. yet they ignored it.
sorry getting off topic, moo? msu has something special going
because they have one terrific coach. and the big ten network
focusing on the kids [ from all the teams } is something i like
to see all colleges/league follow. [ i still think they are currently
destroying college football traditions for $. i would show them
a structure that could do both- protect & profit - but they don't
want a health specialist input,
]
where's i am @ in life? i am really happy. i am still working but also
doing serious retirement planning. while it 's true..i make just as
many mistakes as the next person in life matters. but i think
my successes are good example on the "possibilities" if one
improve & move on. last year i came to realized that maturity
gives a person insights & the "gift" to look back on all the good things
they have been given. long ago, i felt the most precious gift on
earth- is "time." most people spend time on measuring it. but
i think the secret toward the "payoffs", are the ways we chose to
measure it. many think 100 years is "old". not me! my opinion,
none of us live a long time. we just think we do because others
are here in less time. family time is what i value most. but i
have spent much time @ work. possessions are too me, my "tools"
to use time for all kind of activities including dvc for recreational.
life to me, is 2 things. first a state of being-where good health
matters- and second, the reality of change-/changing. it's crosses
over to death--interesting enough from my observations
{ health field} , death = 2 concepts , similar to the references made
@ changing/change itself. death is the lack of being, much like the color
"black" is lacking light/color...death/dying. dying is a process of take
away -time.it can take alot changing or in a blink of your eyes.
with all these things going on & the fact human development takes
2 groups of physical changes and "times" growing up. is it any
woonder we have trouble grasping all the meanings for life and
if our existance matters @ all? well, as you been hearing from me
all these years, you kinda know my hobby is "thinking & observing".
...here's what i have came to learn this year?
i believe every life has a deep & true "meanings" connected to the force
that created us to being. this belief has come through growing up
( better than saying old?), & experiences including those i shared
my time with,psst that you all too! when one ends with death, i
disagree that we "don't take nothing with us." we do, take something
that our whole life has given us whenever our time runs out. and
we also leave something behind. * ps, note that here are sections
in the holy Bible that i have been trying to understand for "years".
& influenced my insights. { not my knowledge]. it also based on
adding the designs of human being and the specific areas that
does not change-ever. all i am saying.."when all said & done", there
is/are exact changes/times for life that can be measure & valued
even after our passing. just because we do not know the meanings
for our life does not "mean" there isn't any. and it is that element
that i have realized this time around. and i am "thinking", every person
are designed with similar potentials to discover their own meanings
thru time.
advances in health care is nice but it is alarming when we forget
the previous knowledge that does not change. c'mom we should not
throw the baby out with the bath water! [ when i am work- is where
you will find me @ my most serious intent.] this was passed onto me
by those i used to work for, & now i am passing it on. think! is
a useful activity.
benefits of keeping active? well those we seen living the longest are
those farmers. up & @ it..all day long. because we run on chemical
interactions, movements keeps us going & feeling good! so why
i may be retiring, i will still be active.
my wife... has been the prefect match for me. luck more than anything
else. i was looking @ movies i took when my lil' ariel was 6 & doing
her lil'mermaid thing. wow! i forgotten how much she looked the part!
so funny, she using her barbie as a microphone.
nabby girl? canada is a beautiful country. but the blue-est skies were
in seattle! ha! remember the old show-"here come the brides"? the
problem in seattle is being built on a cliff. up & down , you go!
the thing about the alaska cruise? even if you just stayed in
room and looked out the window , you still would have been dazzled.
so who's going to disney world?
We are hoping to spend at least half of that if not less. 
Sounds like you had a fun work event!
