My daughter used to tell her friends that Noah and I were brothers.........I wonder what she was saying? I have a great fear of water....
Cheers,
Pre-historic Jim, the elder -
Sherrie's way of computin' is with Agibus beads--I use to have a 3rd grade teacher(I skipped grades 1-2--went right over printin' with block letters and got on with cursive!!) anyway--this 3rd grade teacher--way back in '67--could make those beads do anything she wanted them to do! But I noticed that when it came time for her to calculate our recess time--usin' the trusty Agibus beads--she always "sinned and fell short" of the glory of God!
Jim--son! I'm gonna admit somethin' to you--as Audrey would say--"One old foggy to another!"--I knew I was gettin' old when I went to the eye doctor and he started checkin' me for cataracs!! Mercy!!
Your Southern Baptist preachin', cat-a-rackin' buddy,
Blackbird -
me a young geezer? -
Edifier! You're the same age as my Father-in-law! I'd give my life for him, I really would! He's the one responsible for me lovin' John Deere! Had I had my way back when I was thinkin' about "backin' into" a dairy farm--it would have been nothin' but International!
Your buddy,
Blackbird -
Ed's theory of relative-ity
I have an aunt, when I was 11
she was 14. I turn 60 this year. She will not have
a birthday in 2003.
Last year she turned the great FIVE OUGHT
She will retire when she is 65 in 2024
Old maxim: "You are as old as you feel".
Therefore - I also believe that Sister Sherrie will be 24 on her soon birthday. -
Where is Sherrie?? You don't suppose . . .!??
-
Hrm.. I got checked for cataracts at my last checkup.. not sure why...
Does that mean I'm old ??? -
Blackbird is recovering in his special suite at Franklin County Memorial Hospital, a "wing" built from the profits of his rasslin' career and his prodigous pig profits.
Jacob attentively watches the slumbering Crazed Crusader, who has insisted on wearing a green-and-yellow gown. Jacob, the genteel British butler, has been at Blackbird's side since the unfortunate incident in the Coffee Shop. He gently mops Blackbird's forehead with a monogrammed silk cloth.
Blackbird blinks quickly, then more slowly, as he takes in his surroundings. The John Deere engine synthesizer that has lulled him to sleep falls silent.
"Where am I, Jacob? What happened?"
"Sir, there was an, unfortunate is not too strong a word, incident at the diner this morning. It appears that five women held you down and, I have to put it bluntly, sir, forced you to inhale nitrous oxide. You have been admitted to hospital for your recovery."
"Ooooh! Now it's all comin' back! That cake! That cake! I told that bird-brained bon vivant that he put too much truth serum in the batter! Noooo, he wouldn't listen to the old Blackbird!"
"Yes, sir, it appears you ate several slices of truth cake and began telling everyone's secrets that you had painstakingly collected in your investigations."
"Ooooh, that musta caused some ruffled feathers. Did Sherrie find out I found out her age by retrievin' her old driver's license out of the dumpster? Or that a tracked down that 'secret admirer' by tellin' those florists I was a super-dooper special agent with the IRS?"
"No, sir, Robin stuffed a hydraulic doughnut into your mouth before you could get quite that far."
"Well, bless his little pea-pickin' heart. He finally managed to do one thing right. Where is my little feathered sidekick."
"Sir, he's out in the hall trying to dissuade those five ladies from entering your room. He's put up a valiant fight, but that robe keeps slowing him down and his mask keeps falling off."
"By golly, then I better find a good alibi, 'cause the scufflin' keeps gettin' closer and closer. I know! I'll say I've got amnesia and don't remember any of it! Wooo-wee! That's the ticket!"
"Really, sir, do you think anyone will believe such a story. Except, perhaps your dim-witted avian ally whose head has just be thrust through the doorway by the ladies?" -

I heard somebody say that Newton had a law of relativity that went somethin' like this--
You hold your hand against a burning stove for one minute and the minute feels like forever! You sit next to a nice lookin' girl for the same one minute--and it seems like just a second!
Ain't that the way ole Jacob was--he worked for 7 years to get Rachel--and those 7 years seemed as just a "flash" before his eyes!!!! Now, that's love!!
Your buddy,
Blackbird -
Things I never had when I was some of your ages"
false teeth
aches and pains
old age security and other benefits
people holding doors open for me
other drivers clearing the way for me on the motorway,,,,,,they even wave to me.....Hmmm
mutiple eye spectacles
a cane
and the list goes on......
Age is just a number........but why does it keep growing
By the way, I am always pleased when I visit the mortician and he sends me home.
Cheers,
Jim -

Blackbird -
I was locked down in the Bat Cave while you were off galavanting and making your "Gospel Gunny" pilot.
I would've starved to death if Sue hadn't shoved that cole slaw under the door.
Luckily, Abby left the door open when she came down to get the canister of laughing gas. -
Blackbird:
Stumbling over Christ - Romans 9:32-33 - But I'd love to see your notes.
My email is listed in my profile.
Good night all,
Dan Todd
PS - I've been awful tough on Sherrie today - I hope she forgives me - and lets me come to the Coffee Shop tomorrow!!! -
Hi everyone!
Jim I am glad you share your devotionals with us! And I am glad that with your age (Just a spring chicken), God has also granted you lots of wisdom to share. If you are what 76 acts like, I hope at 76 I am just like you. Well...tho...a woman. Just as wise tho. Yeah...thats what I meant!
Dan sounds like you had a great time with your wife. I bet Jan's flowers are beautiful!
rsr...sorry you were locked up so long.
Well I have been having me a good cry. I do not wish to cry anymore as my eyes are really swollen too, so I came here to see what was happening. I tell you what...you guys are the best medicine! What sweeties! Your wives should be proud of each one of you's!
And AuDzY...If you have your email listed...or pm me it...I will send you easy recipes to try out from time to time.
Ed and Betty...I am really glad you guys are back!

AuDzY...it will be ok. I am a strong person. I am a fighter...not a quiter. I will make a come back.
