What Up, Dawgs 'n Kitties?

And I don't mean the 4-legged kind, but the 2-legged ones who are supposed to take care of the 4-leggers!

===================================================================

Today, I had a couple of very good things happen and I'd like to tell you about them and tell you how they interrelate, okay?

First good thing is that a very good internet friend of mine told me he appreciated my being non-materialistic, caring for and loving my wife, the world and the people in it. I didn't realize I was projecting that, but I am glad he recognizes that in me, because I tend to have low self esteem at times.

Joke: When I don't feel particularly energetic, I sometimes complain that I have "Low Self-Steam".
HAHAHAHAHA. *ahem*

Back to the subject.....

The second good thing is that on my Yahoo Finance page I found this.

Isn't that a great story? Talk about non-materialism (is that a word?)! This little family is doing everything just right and laughing in the face of adversity and that's where I get MY strength.

Here are just a few others: Michael Landon, Elizabeth Edwards (I hate that bastard husband of hers and am glad he's not our president) Patrick Swayze and so many others we never hear about.

I believe.... that at some point in our lives, we come to the point where we don't fear death anymore.

I have feared it all my adult life until now. The reason is because I was afraid I wouldn't get to do some good before the "Grim Reaper" took me out, and I think that is the same fear a lot of folks have: that they'll have to go before they can make a difference.

Luckily, with the help of some very dear and loving friends I was able to do that in several different ways, and now I am happy to go when the time comes.
==========================================================

For my friend Ed and all those who feel the way he does about life:

Please don't forget about the "4-legged" ones I mentioned earlier, support your local shelter, call them and ask what is needed and please click on the icon below to feed them. You'll make a difference. I guarantee it.

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

==================================================================================== I am so very fortunate to have some wonderful friends making this journey with me, and here are just three of them: That's me with my grandson Julian at the Georgia Aquarium, next is my Grand Niece Madison born just this year, and the third picture is my Grand Nephew Matthew.I call them "The Nukes" (for "nuclear family"), and as I add entries to this blog, I invite you to send me a picture to add to my EOAD "FORCE". I just wrote an e-mail to a friend in which I told her that heretofore seemingly insignificant things have suddenly become very important to me, and these "things" are "people". Wonderful people such as my EOAD buddy "Tom T" whom I met through the message board of alz.org, and whose comments you have read on this blog. Also my friend from "Down Under" who calls himself "The Loaded Dog", but who's real

 Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye.  So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here  are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from  January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do
