Smorg, you're so funny. Angie and I had figured all along you and Blixx and his team were getting your church on before you got your sinning on. ;) I had a nice afternoon meeting your family that day, but still smile every time I think about ya'll heading out to the strip club next. I especially appreciate that he's not married to a dummy, and she accompanied him. That Blixx is a nice looking fella ...

It's important. Thanks! I know you believe in miracles...

I was going to leave a gently intended pun about your 'mini-series,' on your blog, but didn't want to offend if it's something you're sensitive about.

But thank you for reposting these. I wasn't on for them last year, and you have written this so well. I am looking forward to the rest of them. I imagine it was quite a journey... amazing!

you are right,,I've done a serious one or two. Maybe I'll do some more as time goes on. I think your son is great though and reading about it is uplifting and encouraging. I have a cousin that has freidrichs ataxia. We were told that he would not live to see his high school graduation. When it became obvious he would, he was told he would not walk across the stage. 2 of his classmates got him up the steps, steadied him, he walked across the stage, and 2 of his classmates were waiting for him on the other side. He received a standing ovation that night. He will be 44 years old his birthday. I admire him so, my youngest carries his name. If more people would have his drive and determination and just not give up,,,,,my cousin is so special to me.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ your stories of your son. Keep them coming and send a copy to Hollywood producers. Fantastic, you are!!!!

This one's for you, Smorgas! Thanks for sharing y our amazing story with GOLO. http://www.wral.com/golo/asset_gallery/3447313/ -Angela

Smorgas, thank you for sharing Aaron's story with us. I thoroughly enjoyed it, wish there was more. Aaron is a giant in a dwarf's body!

Hey, I know Jesus too. He's one heck of a landscaper. Smorgas_Of_Borg

Not funny...but you still got me cracking up....lol Man stop it please...I am at work. U R hillarious.

Just saying bye, shuge... {{{ hug }}}

Take care. Thanks for your peaceful soul... *smile*

I hope your son is doing wonderfully now. I actually have another friend who lives in Raleigh who is much older that had a severe leg problem and one leg longer than the other who also went to Shriners Hospital in Greenville. I havent been to it, but they do have a magnificent new facility- they moved from their location near Paris Mountain years ago. I go to Greenville often as well- my sister and her husband live there.

Yep, you are right.

You are gonna die and go to hell for that comment.

ROFL.

smorgie, ex-plantiff, you are a funny guy. Maybe that keeps you going...I need to learn from that.

"If this sticker is RED, you are driving WAY too fast"

you r 2 funny. I am glad you r in golo.

Thank you Smorgas_Of_Borg for posting on my blog for showing me the other side of the coin. I thankfully have never been addicted to much more than coffee and appreciate you reminding me that others have to work much harder to overcome things I take for granted.

Just added you to my favorites ;)

An Optical Alleutian"

LOL, and I loved the pic. Smorgas, you are very talented. I hope Sheba is well ( I have not seen her around lately. )

there once was a man named smorgas

whose talent and wit were enormous

His blogs are spot on

tho they tend to be long

And he is a blessing among us.

Forgive me, it is early and I've not finished my coffee...;D

Keep up the interesting posts, Smorg. The heads up is always appreciated. -Angela

Does that mean I'm now officially a 'joke'?"

class clown with a conscience?

Hey,just wanted to come by and tell you before monday begins blogs was one of the nicest ones i have seen in a long time.Thank you.God bless you.

Your blog was EXACTLY what golo needed this morning. Thank you!!

HA - mugshot, DON'T make me hurt you!

Feet just barely touching ground!

Last Saturday was moved to this Saturday. I miss my girls :-(

I didn't know your son was a dwarf. Does he actually wrestle professionally? That is just too cool!

Hey Smorg, I have two guitars right now a '57 reissue USA strat (1994 model) and a Martin D16 acoustic (1995)

I used to have a Gibson "the Paul" (1979 model) but sold it to buy a new amp last spring. I had a '62 reissue Telecaster that I wish I still had (long story but involves the ex)

We had an uncle who was known for his lengthy mealtime blessings too. When I was a very small child, I am told, that I nearly fell asleep during one of them, and was so confused that when he said "Amen" I applauded.

LOL LOL LOL

I don't remember it, but my aunt said my mother was very embarrassed, especially cause she didn't like the guy much anyway. ;o)

God bless.

smorg, I loved ELO...they always were Beatles wannabees. Jeff is extremely talented....now I will go to your link.

I feel better now...Thanks Smorgas.

Napoleon invaded Russia with less planning than we have put into this wedding. I also think he took less food...:D

Don't forget what to say when you shave your legs! Smorgas_Of_Borg

WHAT????????????????????????????

Uh....no, I don't understand.

Even "recycled beer", by chance? Lol.

You're from Gastonia? That's where I grew up!

What a wonderful profile, you are so wise.

To know God one must gain knowledge. and to gain knowledge Fear God... Right?

LOL!! Ha!!! I just saw the headlines.

About the memory stick, just in case you don’t get back to the comments:

Now, THAT’S funny as Hell....

My partner, who is Buddhist, says that we will NEVER see a Buddha memory stick.

Something about the impermanence of life and all we see. She points out that “impermanence” and “computer memory” just don’t fit comfortably together in the same stick ....

STS

hi Smorgas, ltns. :) About the blog you posted of the man who's name is Phuek Kue. I couldn't resist...I had to add my husbands name. It's.... Harry Chin. O.o Yes, when I talk to bellsouth or at&t or some other company on the phone and they ask for the name of who is on the account, I can hear a snort in the back ground to which I promptly reply "it's ok, I laughed first time I learned it too", then they burst out laughing. :P

I am on vacation, just wanted to wish you a happy bday Smorg. Best to you and Sheba~~

Howdy!

After all, the one thing everyone counts on receiving on Christmas Day is their newspaper with all of the day-after ads selling stuff for 20% of what they paid for it the day before."

You crack me up. I am so glad that you and Sheba are in golo.

I wish you a safe and happy holiday season, with many blessings and smiles.

I just saw your blog from earlier today, I am glad you two found your soul mates. I like stories with happy endings! Happy Anniversary.

that was the best soup I have ever had in my 36 years living on this earth. EVERYONE came to my office to get some and there is a little left. I am taking it downstairs to the break room. You are amazing! Blog coming later. I'm eating my second bowl. Thank you for thinking of me. -Angela

Thanks for being such a nice person!

If you want to make God laugh, just tell him your plans.



I love that one.

((HUGS)) to you and Sheba.

I am determined to make your highly touted soup tonight! I think I may tweak it with some Guiness (if you don't mind) and some crusty Irish soda bread on the side...I can't wait!!!!!!! My mouth is watering right now... Thanks for the recipe!

OH m y GOODNESS! You are a GOD! I will add that soup to my repertoire, as it is now my FAVORITE comfort food. Really, I gush, but I'm serious. The Guiness was good, just added a very small amount, 2 tbsps, and added the bacon at the end with a dollop of sour cream.... God Bless you! I'm on my way to bring some to my father now. I know he'll enjoy it just as much! Have a great day!

"When I get dragged to the mall as an unwilling companion on a shopping trip, I just slip into one of the toy stores and make a small purchase.

Then I go find an escalator, put my newly purchased Slinky on it, and watch the people stop and stare.

(I'm easily amused, as you can tell)"

LMBO! I bet your wife never has a dull minute with you around! LOL!

Hey Smorg =) I have to thank you. I made a pot of your "refined" cheesey potato soup tonight...it was amazing!

Don't you just hate it when one of those things just jumps out of their pants and starts typing away at the keyboard? ;-)

Best comment of the day!!! LOL
