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]

aren't you glad your mama didn't raise you to be a spoiled little brat, like some of the people on here...what a bunch of titttybabies! They can dish it out, but they sure can't take it!

What happened? You were one of my first friends and now you're no longer on my list. You can't shake me that easy! lol

They are soooooooo jealous that you have so many friends! We luv ya! They suck!

well, I blasted the hell out of hockey, got right down to his level...guess what? he couldn't take it like a man LOL... jerry is like the little bird that gets on the shoulder of the big bully and says yeah,yeah,yeah...you can always count on him to chime in if somebody else is there for his back-up... they REALLY do have a pack mentality, though. and an OCD think about the word "blocked" once they see it, they go into a feeding frenzy...little kids banging their heads on the floor cause they aren't getting their way... truly pathetic...I'm working on a blog I think you'll like, though...stay tuned!

Thanks, OldRebel! Hope your blog earlier today didn't get too out-of-hand.

My blog post was kinda long but there needs to be more hope on here.

BTW I read your posts with interest. You really make sense in what you say on some of these stupid blogs.

"re:"...and I haven't given out my number yet." Real good to keep that way for a long while, on GOLO or any other internet forum. I'd meet in a public place, with others around me, several times before I'd give out anything as personal as a phone number. There are wolves among the sheep. Believe it."

believe me I believe you! The funny part is if the wolves want it they can find it on the internet.... i hope you are having a good day and no one has cussed you out lately....

I heard you've aquired yourself some trolls. You'd be the last person on here I'd think some bottom-feeders would attach themselves to, but you never know, I guess. It's my theory that some people can't hang in tough times, so they lash out at others in their frustration and angst. Maybe GOLO needs a Let-Me-Help-You-Pay-For-Your-Meds Group, LOL. Hang in there.

Hi there! I wrote something very sweet about "someone." LOL! It is probably on page 2, as of now, 3:30, but if it gets much later, just go to page 3. You'll see it! :-)

Beth

I'm so glad you did that! LOL! Hee hee! I was beginning to wonder if you didn't want to be my "friend" anymore! /*sniffle, sniffle*/ :-)

Yes! The sky is the limit! I can't wait until the next 2 days! It's going to be nice out!

And I meant what I said: Metting you, was no different than meeting an old friend. I felt so comfortable, just being around you. It was like we were long long buddies or something! I think you just have one of those easy going, friendly personalities and of course, with MY wonderful, friendly and easy going personality, how could we NOT get along, right?! ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

{{hugs}}

Beth

Beth

WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!?? OMG! Did I read that correctly? I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad to hear that! That's fantastic news! Of course, you may not think so. :-/

I've never smoked, but I know I like food and trust me, I am addicted to food, so I can "sort of" understand how hard it must be, to try to kick a habit! I'm so glad you're trying to quit.

Do you feel better yet? :-)

Also, as for the attitude, well just remember: You've seen the sweet side of Beth, but there are a couple of other "personalities" you've not met yet, and they would be: Catherine (with a C), and Nails, who is, as the name implies, TOUGH as nails, espcially when she gets MAD! :-) But, as long as I take my medication, I'm fine. ROF! (Burp, EXCUSE ME! OMG! That was rude and crude and I'm glad you didn't hear that!).

I'm 5'1" and bullet proof! I'm a legend in my own mind. I'm also 165 lbs! Hee hee!

Hi, Donald! Just passing through, hoping you are doing great!

Donald, just let them sit there till tomorrow. The mail isn't going anywhere tonight. I wish you a happy Thursday, my friend.

reb I get used books from Amazon them all the time ... and usually the condition of the book that is advertised is pretty accurate ... I have even found new ones listed in the user categories

Thank you for the link OldRebel! I did not realize I would incite a GOLO wrestling match for posting that blog. LOL. I mean people do it to the Christians all the time on here and expect us to laugh and get the joke, ya know? I saw where ladyblue posted that she posted a joke and someone jumped all over her. Its sad that some can dish but cant take. However, its the kind of world we live in. LOL. Thank you again and enjoy your Thursday!

Thanks for commenting on Dom's blog! :) He's 8. The flower was done in kindergarten, the mosaic was 1st and sleeping was 2nd. :)

I love the Southern Pines Aberdeen area. If I were ever to leave Knightdale, I would move back down that way. I was raised just south of there, so the Sandhills area is really home to me. My favorite breakfast type place is Mac's in Aberdeen (breakfast anytime, which is good for a noon riser like me!), well that is, until I went to the Fairview. FDB has the nicest atmosphere, I just love it. And anyone that can fry an egg better than I can can feed me breakfast anytime. My nephew and sister told me that Mt Fuji is a great place in Aberdeen too, somewhat like Kanki here. And Ten Ya has a place in Pinehurst and one in Southern Pines too, which might be worth the adventure since I love Japanese food. The next time I'm down that way I'll check out Snoopy's. I'm always dragging my sister somewhere. And it's not much of a drag to get her to go with me to Southern Pines, LOL.

If you've ever cruised down 211, no doubt you've seen the sign for Rockfish Creek Cooon Club (at Calloway Road). That's the place I take my hounds mostly, although I've taken Savannah to the one in Rockingham too. There is just a lot for me in that area. My big vacation thing was stay at the Hampton in Southern Pines, and the Squire's Pub is practically across the street. So that lends itself well, since the pace of life is so southern and laid back down there still, to party a little at the Pub and have a nice walk back to the room. And short of golf or equestrian folk, I don't know who else but me would think of Southern Pines as a vacation spot. But as I say, I just love the area. There's no other like it.

thanks for the encouragement on my weight loss. As of today I have officially lost 14 pounds and 6 inches! :)

I hope you have good weekend too and that the weather is getting warmer up there.

Reb, what happened to the Harley?

ツ Great pics Reb! Did you get a new bike?

That sounds good. Is the course mainly in trees or is it more open? My son is only 5, so he's not too into disc golf yet. Sanford isn't too far from me, as I'm in Apex.

LOL!! WOW! I went back and clicked on one of the pics. They do belong to "JokersWild"!! I wonder if the WRAL person that put them there realizes that they're not your pics? Maybe they saw the pics of the bike, and assumed they were yours, without paying attn to the name. LOL! Weird.

LOL, I already had that link open and was looking at the pics.

Well aren't you just the brightest star on GOLO? ;) ttyl oldman.

Hey...Friday and I get along wonderful! I've been trying to spend lots of time with him. Both Deuce and Midnight weren't too happy at first but now Deuce and Friday get along just fine. I'm wondering if Midnight is afraid of Friday because they look just alike...and Friday is larger than him. Thankfully, no fights. Although Midnight looks at Friday and hisses like mad. Friday just turns his head. He wouldn't come on the back porch this morning when the other boys were there..Like you said, he is a very, very smart cat. I love to hear him purr and talk to me.

Thank you!

Hey OR, hope you are having a super weekend! Hey, are a couple of those pics on your blog about a ride in eastern NC from the road between Eastwood and Farmlife?? That one curve, pic 6 looks exactly like the curve before the end of the road at Farmlife!! That road used to be dirt and was how we went to school from West End. We used to look like dirt track drivers every morning...sliding sideways around those curves, and especially that one....have spun all the way around a couple of time there!!

Hey, you went to UP though....look at pic #6 of 8. That has to be that curve on the road from Eastwood, that crossed HWY 22 then continues on to right there by Farmlife School. You know, if you go down through that bottom and come back up the hill toward Farmlife, I am almost positive that is the curve. (as many times as my buddy Van and I went around it sideways)LOL

If our team comes down for any hurricanes or large fires out west, I will come back to NC. The expensive part of the flight is from here to Seattle. Once you get there, it is real inexpensive to fly cross country. I hope to be home sometime around July or August, but it could be sooner or later, just never know. Our team is up on the national rotation week after next I believe, so if any disaster was to happen, we would probably get called. I see you guys are having super weather!! We are too...people are out ice skating, there's a bunch of them at the bars there across from the ArcticCam and you can see it is a beautiful day!!

http://www.newsminer.com/arcticcam/

Just dropping by to say good morning.Hope your weekend has been a good one for you.

Thanks for the video. *blushing, lol*. How have you been? Hope all is well. :-)

Hey,sorry you had to work the graveyard shift and not be out on this warm day.Ihave enjoyed these warm days just being able to get out side and it not being so cold.Even though I don't comment on your blogs just want you to know I enjoy reading them.Whishing you a blessed night.

Thanks Donald. :-) I didn't do anything, lol. I was shy and demure and stuff. Honest. (Halo here). Seriously, I thought I was rather quiet for the most part, lol. I would love to meet you sometime. If we don't get together at a function, I sometimes ride through Sanford to my mother's in Ellerbe or to Wingate to visit my sister (I will be moving in with her sometime in the next few months). I have to return the rental car tomorrow and then I need to search for a car before making another trip though. Hope you have a great evening! :-)

ok, sure! I never even knew they had a museum there, lol. Sounds cool. Sweet dreams. It will most likely be a few hours before my I can manage to even get to sleep, lol. TC. :-)

I love Sally Field. She is the most awesome actress. She dis great on a guest stint once on ER. She was a bi-polar mother of one of the Drs. She was awsome.

That was a great story line. I hated the ending as well.

Thanks, thats just what I said it looked like and thought about making Christmas cards out of it. See ya!

No way... seriously? Dang... that sucks. Mid-April is when i'll be going on terminal, so i'll be around. I might not be able to show up this weekend like i though, at least not as early as i had wanted. Take care, help as best i can, see ya soon.

You're very welcome. I don't always comment in your blogs, but I do enjoy them. I know you get knocked a lot, but just wanted to let you know there are some on here that actually enjoy reading what your blogs. Have a great day...it's gorgeous out there. :)

Thank you OR I hope you have a great afternoon as well!

I have 6 tattoos. 5 are religious in nature. The one on my foot is the only one that isn't. Its a clematis flower. They are next to impossible to grown in NY and my Dad (who was a Dead head) grew them. The first year they bloomed and everything. A neighbor had said that it takes several years to get them to flower... WELL, he's been dead 9 years now and you can still drive by that house and the flowers still bloom and no one has taken care of them like he had. SO that's my RIP tattoo. I'll be posting a pic of that one on the 26th. That would have been his 60th birthday.

You are welcome.I'm getting out and enjoying this warm weather to the fullest.I do enjoy reading your blogs.Keep doing them.Hope you have had a good day.

ok...so why did i have to hit the friends thingy? did you boot me off the list? thanks for the laughs tonight. i'm getting out of here and will try to get back tomorrow. goodnight!!

so glad you took me back! :)

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4711326/

Good morning Don. :) I just came by to wish you good morning and saw I wasn't on your friends list...I sent you a request again. I hope you will accept it. Have a wonderful day. :)

Morning! Need some ideas. The boyfriend and I have some alone time this weekend (finally lol) and I was thinking about getting in the truck and just driving around the area. Got any good ideas of places to go? I know it'll be cold, so it has to be something worthy to see. :)

*historical places... other than house in the horse shoe and such.

Those all sound really good, BUT I don't think I've got the time to go to most of these places. I was really thinking more around Lee, Moore and Chatham counties. Anything cool to see?
