about oldrebel

Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain't nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I'd like to see
One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way

One of these days I'm gonna settle down
But till I do I won't be hanging round
Going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way
Yes I'm going down that long lonesome highway
Gonna live life my way

Long Lonesome Highway  \*/  Michael Parks  [Then Came Bronson theme song]

mistletoe? Where? Let me at it! lol

{{hugs}}

Merry Christmas Donald, have a wonderful holiday sugar!

(((((((hugs))))))))

Hun, it was so peaceful. JUST what hubby and I needed. We hope to go back late summer to fully enjoy the amenities.

Why? You wanna join us.

thank you , Donald --- i'm just glad to know she loved the Lord and so I know she's at peace.

Thanks, oldrebel! I guess it's my "family tree" -- the huge oak where my grandparents lived and where my mom grew up. Take care - enjoy your Christmas and New Year!

From my family to yours:

Merry, Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year, Reb!!!!!...Kim

Merry Christmas to a real sweet heart of a guy! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year!

Hope to see you again in person sometime too!

Beth

Thanks Don! I had NOT seen that blog. So glad you sent me the link. I checked it out and commented. :-)

You da man! LOL! Have a good one!

Beth

Oh, I don't know what you prefer: Don, Donald or Donnie. I'll call you whatever you tell me too! :-)

YOU can call me whatever you want, just DON'T call me late for dinner! HEE HEE!

Rebel, may your Christmas be full of joy, and may the new year bring you love and laughter. {{{HUGS}}}

Have a merry Christmas, OldReb!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Reb, Merry Christmas! Are your stockings hung by the chimney with care?

Merry Christmas Donnie. Thank you for the kind words.

Mornin', Reb! The pic wasn't taken around Sanford, but you may be familiar with the setting. That's me and two buds in The Devil's Den at Gettsyburg NMP. Have you had a chance to visit Gettysburg?

Good morning Donald. If you're in the market for a DVD player, Best Buy has them on sale for 50 bucks!! I wanted a simple player without all the bells and whistles, so this was the one for me.

Hope you have a great Saturday, and happy shopping!!

hey Reb! Late Merry Christmas!

Donald...I will not get my panties in a wadd about the realtor with you. TOS says no solicitations, but people ask for stuff all of the time at golo. She/he will be gone soon, I expect. Me thinks you cut her slack cause she was a biker...that is what I would do! I am your bud, longterm, jack.

Actually Jack, I didn't realize she was a biker...I didn't read that much into her profile to uncover that. Kinda revealing you'd jump to that conclusion. The fact of the matter is, in the past the GOLO Administrators didn't seem to get miffed at a one time solicitation/advertisment from a GOLO member. I do recall a realator from the Morehead/Crystal Coast area getting on GOLO numerous times with cleverly (he/she thought) blogs that were in essence, advertisments for time sharing and other coastal commercial interests. I haven't seen them on here in while.As for anyone getting their panties in twist, it kinda seemed yours were on tight by jumping on the blog/profile in question with the "breaking news" that what they were doing wasn't allowed...Like the administrators don't see what's being posted and have the wherewithall to take actions? If siomething is allowed on here time after time, it's obvious it "is allowed" whereas if you don't see it, it's equally obvious is must not be.

Hope you have a safe and Happy New Year!

you are a sweetheart Reb. Best Wishes for a safe, healthy and Happy New Year.

Squirrel

Happy New Year!

TY OR, that is really all we want in return for what we do, a very simple and sincere Thank You!!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Old Rebel!

That's funny about your bike having a "switch" for when it might be (too cold I presume) to ride!! My husband used to have a bike... Not I, though I dare say I'd love the wind! Nothing like the wind in one's face watching the world go by!

Happy New Year, OldRebel: I had to take a minute to come to the computer just to let you know that my Black-eyed peas are in the crock pot per your recommendation! -Angela

Hi ya', OR. Do you mean the Dreamland on the Murch? Man, I haven't heard about that place in almost 30 years! What a neighborhood THAT was! lol

Happy New Year Donald. Hope it was a good one!

I wish I new about the antiques gun show. I would have tagged along with you. I love stuff like that.

Donald...I am becoming a history nut, mainly WW 2 right now. I got suckered on those DVD's they advertise on the history channel, they are actually dayum good. I'll send a couple to you, if you give me a ride on your bike! My late Dad was a 30 yr Navy guy.

Thanks, Reb, I'll see if the rest of the family wants to go. Have a happy day. {{{HUGS}}}

Hey Donald. Shoot, I missed it again. Mama is in the hospital, so I was with her, which is where I needed to be. Now, watching my Vikings. How cool your son has such good memories over going before. Maybe next year, if you want, I can tag along with you. Have a good day.

The more I read your blogs and responses like the one today on the Armor of God, the more I like you. I hope we get a chance to get together one day. Maybe fortune will land another Harley in my lap and we can explore NC. I miss riding so much I cant stand it.

So, your subconscious comes through, and tells you to leave the cash at home, to save you from spending too much. I wish mine would do that for me. OK, next year, we'll be there. It's a date. can we go on your motorcycle? (:

Like you say, the whole BRP is awesome. The pic on my page is at the Thunder Hill Overlook, looking North toward US 421 near Boone.

Donald, I'm sorry to have participated in hijacking your blog. It was not my intent for any of my comments to detract from the story. Again, I apologize.

Forgive me? :)

"Sometimes I get the feeling that those that just have to use that kind of language are like a bunch of pre-teens out behind the storage shed, cussin' and smokin' cigarettes to pretend they're adults."

You definitely have a point there, as I agree... it is refreshing. I'd hope the more casual room, so to say, can stay that way and trust me, I will ask that it does. It's also nice not to feel like big brother is hovering over your shoulder as well.

Donald, thanks for the spam tip...you don't have to spend alot of money to eat fine food. I slice my spam thin, and fry most of the fat out of it, what's left seems to be mostly sodium!

Hey OR, there already are some Golo t-shirsts and bumper stickers. Angela had a contest one day for the bumper stickers, I got one. NM was late getting in on the contest so Angela sent him a t-shirt...he didn't know what she was gonna send him. I wear it more than he does...lol.

Hiya Reb! I would have driven myself crazy trying to figure out where I heard that song you posted. But then another Goloer figured it out. Have you ever seen "50 first dates"? That is where I heard it! They even gave a link!

http://nerhood.wordpress.com/2005/08/27/somewhere-over-the-rainbow-iz-amazing/

I loved your real me blog today. I hope your oldest can find something soon. It is very discouraging to be out of work. I do pretty good most of the time. Only the occasional down day. You would think that a person would enjoy their time off. I think this has cemented in my mind that I will not like retirement. I don't think I will ever retire. LOL

I remember the start ups. Killer for the people down below. I am not sure even if my kids get grown and gone that I would want to be at home. I guess I will see when that time comes. LOL I have many years to wait for that. I figure at least 20. That puts me at 63.

Hey handsome, love your new profile pic. You did an awesome "real me" blog, enjoyed reading it very much. I'm happy to have you as a friend...

LOL! That's funny, you've obviously never seen me...the wind bloww me away, ppffftt!!

Seriously, I hope it dies down too darlin', and there is no damage for either of us...

Have a nice evening Donald.

OldRebel...I like you...and your music.

awe thanks hun, im rebuilding my friends list !

I have several of my photos framed around my houes,lol. well more than several,lol. thanks again (( HUGS ))

thank you so much...

I think I made a few enemies this past weekend...It's ok though. I know when I am loved, and I feel it.

Donald, I hope you don't mind... I put your comment on my profile. I quoted you. I try real hard to spread sunshine, and you made a point. If you don't want it on there, let me know.

Good morning, good looking!

This is a new golo'er, therefore his blog isn't showing up in the long list, and he wants others to read the blog. It's a good blog!
