Veterans

The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional as to how they perceive veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by this country.

--George Washington, 1789

Little Flab

One morning while making breakfast, a man walked up to his wife, pinched her on the butt and said...

"If you firmed this up, we could get rid of your control top pantyhose."

While this was on the edge of intolerable, she kept silent .

The next morning, the man woke his wife with a pinch on each of her breasts and said....

"You know, if you firmed these up, we could get rid of your bra."

This was beyond a silent response...

So she rolled over and grabbed him by his 'DANGLER.'

With a death grip in place, she said...

"You know, if you firmed this up, we could get rid of the gardener, The postman, The pool man and Your brother!"

Political Correctness

Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading  America....  

Kentuckians, Tennesseans and  West Virginians  will no longer be referred to as 'HILLBILLIES.' You must now refer to them as

APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS .

 

And furthermore:

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

She is not a 'BABE' or a 'CHICK' - She is a

BREASTED AMERICAN.

 

She is not 'EASY' - She is

HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE.

She is not a 'DUMB BLONDE' - She is a

LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.

She has not 'BEEN AROUND' - She is a

PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION.

She does not 'NAG' you - She becomes

VERBALLY REPETITIVE.

She is not a 'TWO-BIT HOOKER' - She is a

LOW COST PROVIDER.

HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT:

He does not have a 'BEER GUT' - He has developed a

LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY.

He is not a 'BAD DANCER' - He is

OVERLY CAUCASIAN.

He does not 'GET LOST ALL THE TIME' - He

INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS.

He is not 'BALDING' - He is in

FOLLICLE REGRESSION.

He does not act like a 'TOTAL ASS' - He develops a case of

RECTAL-CRANIAL INVERSION.'

It's not his 'CRACK' you see hanging out of his pants - It's

REAR CLEAVAGE

Fear

Fear is an insidious virus. Given a breeding place in our minds it will eat away our spirit and block the forward path of our endeavors.

Today

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, was it worth it?

Patience

Patience. It's a tough thing to wrap one's mind around. When should someone be patient. When should someone get into Action. When should someone just be.

I am at that point now. If love is the most important of all things like it talks about in Corrinthians then why should one, or how long can one wait for confirmation of that love?

I understand that we all sometimes need time to oursleves to sort things out, but is it right to sort the other things in our life out at the expense of the feelings of others? IE Not letting the other person know that we love them and want to be with them but just need more time. Or not letting the other person know that they are still unsure how much they love them and still need time to figure it all out. Is that right to have the other person sit on pins and needles waiting for an answer when they desperatly want and need one? Is that fair?

The bottom line is that I need to know which way to turn. To move on with or without her. Either way I will survive and will embrace or learn to accept her decision. But the living in a state of stagnancy, limbo, pergatory....is just killing me. Being unable to let her know what conculsions I'm come to so that she can make a balanced and fair decision is driving me nuts!
