In Texas people like you get their a.s kicked on a regular basis until they learn better. LOL Harv >> Hhhhm,,, no thanks,,,, drdoc can get more done with better >> information. [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Harv Smart a.s yes, resentful no! LOL IIRC I mention video blogging as a tool to assist the arthritis community on UPSA. Harv replies to the post, "no way, Dr Doc's site is the muts nuts" I point out it was video blogging type stuff I was talking about and site some examples on youtube. A whole day later Harv posts "ye ha luckee ye here what I found, everything is bigger and better in the lone star state on utube...." here on ASA and then he calls me a" resentful smart a.s..." I kind of gotta larf, 'cause I can't take that seriously. LOL Ya, they don't like Harvey much in New Mexico, either.. >>> Hhhhm,,, no thanks,,,, drdoc can get more done with better >>> information.

Harv, is OK, he's been a good member of the Arthritis newsgroups for many years, as for me on this occassion, lets just say we agree to disagree. >>Ya, they don't like Harvey much in New Mexico, either.. >> > Harv, is OK, he's been a good member of the Arthritis newsgroups for > many years, as for me on this occassion, lets just say we agree to > disagree. Well said and that is OK too. Have you looked at drdoc's web site? I am sure that your thoughts about people getting together to talk about arthritis is a good one. Harv > Ya, they don't like Harvey much in New Mexico, either.. Don't know anything about that Rhodes but I say and do what I think is best and sometimes that makes people angry. They can always scratch their mad spot. Harv > I kind of gotta larf, 'cause I can't take that seriously. LOL Good,,,, a good laugh is good for a person also. Harv > Take a break...watch this...it will make you feel good !! > Especially if you have lived or was born in Texas > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGukLuXzH1E Eighteen year old grandson is near San Antonio doing Air Force basic training. I doubt he is getting this view of Texas. Maybe someday.

Lots to do and see there. Basic is no vacation but I sure you will hear all about that town from him. Harv >>> Take a break...watch this...it will make you feel good !! >>> Especially if you have lived or was born in Texas>> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Harv Were pretty much an Air Force family. Don Jr. is there in basic. Don Sr. did basic there about 25 years ago and Charlie did the same 50 plus years ago. My dad was Army Air Corp before the AF existed. What they used to call the brown show air force. I keep hearing how great San Antonio is but Charlie seems more inclined to reminisce than to visit. Jo Jo > Were pretty much an Air Force family.

It is something to be proud of and it is a way of life. I really think that thanking a person for that is not enough. Harv Thanking is a start--but I DO believe that my father's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors was an apropos show of honor and gratitude for a lifetime of service. Wednesday was one of those 100+ degree days that they are having and it was very bad air quality and hot even at 0900. The soldiers in the honor guard and the band, the soldiers who were taking care of the horses, the Chaplain, the pall bearers, the Color Guard--everyone involved was giving 100% to the ceremony even in the heat--even in the bad air quality--even though they have done this a zillion times before. The caisson bearing my father's flag-covered casket wound its way slowly a mile to his gravesite as we walked behind it --passing on the way the marker honoring his brother who was killed on Guadal Canal and his body never recovered. I could see in my mind's eye my Uncle Billy standing and saluting as we went by. The horses were spectacular and the caparisoned horse--the riderless horse with the boots in the stirrups backwards was a magnificent stallion who absolutely showed his stuff!! I sat next to my mother as they presented the flag that had draped my father's body to her as a symbol of a grateful nation and stood with tears in my eyes as the bugler played Taps. We went back later to find that an Army SGM was buried next to my father later in that day and somehow that seem just right as my father was always and foremost a great leader of men and felt that if you got the right NCOs nothing could stop you--and so it goes--acres upon acres of brave men and women who served now honored. It is a comfort.  SignatureBe at peace, Alix Be humble. Trust always and a great deal in divine Providence; never never must you let yourselves be discouraged, despite contrary winds. - Saint Pauline of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus (1865-1942) Even talking about Arlington gives me chills. Such a beautiful place, it is almost hard to be sad there. Proud yes.

It is a comfort. Alix, your post gave me chill bumps. I almost felt I was there. What a good memory for you and your family. My husband was in WWII and in the Korean war. He was very proud to have been on the 2nd ship down from the ship where the signing of the surrender papers took place.

It is a comfort. Indeed, a service to be proud of! I would have had goosebumps and shedding tears in such a situation. We honor men like your Father!! A few years ago, my husband's uncle, who served in World War II as a CIA counter-intelligence agent (spy) was honored in the same manner. He could never tell his family many things he had been involved in, but the ceremony left no doubt of his importance to our Armed Forces. Be at peace.

It is a comfort. Alix, Thank you for sharing this most precious memory. Your father was part of the greatest generation and deserves to be honored in this way. On Tuesday I attended my neighbor's funeral at our local veteran's cemetary and they had the honor guard, the bugler and the rifle salute and it brought tears to all of our eyes. A year or two ago I read in the paper that they were planning to use a recording of taps and there was such a hue and cry from the public that the plans were immediately dropped. Several younger vets who were musicians volunteered to fill in as needed. Ann Thanks for the wonderful and beautiful post about it. I hope you are hanging in there Alix and taking care of you too. It sounds like it was a lovely service. I am glad it was for all of you. Still thinking of you all the time. SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one > Thanking is a start--but I DO believe that my father's funeral at > Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors was an apropos show [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > nothing could stop you--and so it goes--acres upon acres of brave men and > women who served now honored.

((((((((((((((((((((alix))))))))))))))))) a fitting final farewell from the nation your father so willingly and generously served. take good care of yourself, sweetie. kate Thanking is a start--but I DO believe that my father's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors was an apropos show of honor and gratitude for a lifetime of service.

Thank you for posting this. debbie m. > Harv, > > I enjoyed the vidio and I've have now discovered You Tube! Thank you > for posting this. > > debbie m. You tube has been sooo enjoyed by sooo many people, it has already been bought out by one of the big media boys. The truth of it is that there are 2-3 different tubes now. Can you imagine,,,, a kind of net smart person is now a mult, multi millionaire. I have not saved any of them though. Ya know the picture of those two long horn cows? Some friends and I were going down the Sabine river fishing and having a case of beer each when we came on a small island where a much bigger cow than those two had just had here calf and was cleaning it up. It was very much a bad idea to take a break there. She had us all out in the river or in the boat. So it goes. Harv this was very interesting, harv. thank you for sharing it. i've been to texas and personally witnessed much of what was in the u-tube film. even walked down many of the streets of san antonio, for the first time, back in the 1950s. i think san antonio is prettier now, compared to the first time i saw it, though. many, many changes there. i've been to texas 4 times over my lifetime. a lot of friendly people there. actually, i've traveled completely across our nation, coast to coast, 11 different times by car via different routes, a few more times from the canadian border to the gulfs and mexican border. i've seen it many times coast to coast from an airplane, too, and several states by train and bus. (actually, the only state i haven't personally seen or been to, "yet", is hawaii.) this nation's scope is breathtaking in its vastness, in its beauty and in its diversity. it's always amazed me how this nation is such an unlikely amalgamation of terrain and people. it's also amazing how varied lifestyles, dialects and local-cultures can be, from state to state and even from region to region within a state and/or even within one of its major cities (i imagine many countries are like that now, to some degree). "e pluribus unum" was certainly an apropos choice, by our founders, for a national motto, back in our nascent nation's history and even moreso, now. kate [wish i could share "over washington--an arial view" (a pbs film made about roughly 8 years ago) with asa. this state is like an ecapsulation of this nation as a whole, from a geological standpoint--has just about every geological feature you can name. there's even a rainforest here and high deserts. there's a place called sequim here (pilots call it "the blue hole", because clouds seem to avoid being over sequim--we call it "squim".), where the locals have year-round suntans, because the sun shines there almost every single day of the year (good place for arthritics<smile>). hush now-- don't tell anybody about sequim, because it is supposed to be raining in this state all the time.<g> hmmm . . . i'm a native new yorker and raised a big city girl, at that.LOL] Take a break...watch this...it will make you feel good !! Especially if you have lived or was born in Texas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGukLuXzH1E ___________________________________ "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." -- Albert Einstein |
