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]

ollllddd rebbbellll hoooww arrree youuuuuu? ( i'm serenading you)

Deleted your email as well!Thank you much.

Happy Tuesday to you too!

Sounds as if you have this time off all planned out for fun. Guess if you're gonna be laid off, Spring is a good time. Just like with my surgery in Nov. I was out during all the holidays.

Enjoy!

I love Jonathan Livingston Seagull! :)

OR i clicked on popular and your profile was number 1... heehee!

Savannah's picture is in the Signs of Spring gallery. Please vote for GOLO's own Princess!

Thank you for the comment on my blog this morning and on the pics. :-)

Hope your day goes great! I may be heading that way sometime this weekend, lol. Thinking of taking some of my things I have already packed to my sister's and staying with her for the weekend. I need to get out of this house before I ring the soon-to-be- exes neck, lol. :-)

There is a wine tasting at Sandhill Wine in Sandford tomorrow to benefit CARA. It's $5.00 to get in but you can "sample" all the wine you want.

Sounds great. Thanks! If I go, I will let you know. :-)

PEACE my brotha! I hope you're having a good day!!

Hate to hear that. Things don't look so good. I wish the best for everyone out there. You as well my friend. Sigh. It is so hard sometimes.

Thank you. I try. Sometimes fail. But just keep on keeping on. I know that there are some there that will not handle it well. I wish the best for them. It really takes strong will to get through it. Some of those people have been there over 30 years. It will be hard for them. They know nothing else. I hope they won't let depression over come them. It is hard to fight off some days.

good morning OR...LOL... This Friday is starting off with a smile for everyone!!! It is wonderful.

Sounds great to me, except for the long drive. LOL

Come June though, I am moving towards Clayton and it shouldn't be that far. I will keep it in mind. I am always looking for new places to take my kids!!

I like the mornings best in golo lately. It is more like the old days - hellos and quips.

kinder, gentler Oldrebel these days. ;)"

That is the side of you that I have always seen!!

You may be right, the rotten economy has added more stress in the workplace - so maybe it does ooze into golo. That makes a lot of sense.

This is a good website about mobile homes if you're interested. I ordered a part for my furnace that the repair company couldn't even get. The guy who owns the site wrote a book about mobile home repair that I'd like to get someday.

They've got a good forum too! There's a guy called oldfurt on there that tells the funiest stories.

ps the filter wouldn't let me spell his name right.

I am working this weekend. I am not going to complain since there are some that have no jobs to work at so I am grateful. You be careful and try to stay dry. Enjoy your day Love! 8-)

lol, thank you, she is a little attention hog

Hey, you remember the 'tornado' that passed over head of us out there years ago? I can't remember, was there rotation to that one as well?

Hey OR; I am glad all is well with you and yours. It looked like we might be in for some major issues in Wilson. IT is raining now. I hope we do not have any major problems. Have a nice evening. Hope your job is going okay too.

Thank you Don! We are having a wonderful time. :) Yep, be careful tomorrow. From what I've seen on the news the weather has been quite serious already. Take care of yourself. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Thanks Reb. I had it for a while now. I found it looking for something else. Did you click on it? The lights flicker on it.

Thank you for putting me in my place ;) I still think the world of you.

sherry is a fraud.

reliance on Angela to "check things out""

I agree with OR. When Kestrel's blog with the links about Sherry first came up - there was some strong reactions. Some of the reactions where in Kestrel's blog, and some posts spilled off onto other's profiles. I am the one who asked that we close the blog and wait for Angela. Since there are no weekend moderators, it was the only way to get people to step back and cool off. And given some of the things that were being said - a cooling off period was NECESSARY.

Donald - I do agree with your point that Angela cannot possibly "verify" every screen id.

Now who in the heck makes small portions of mac salad? You are supposed to make it in bulk, ya know. No leftovers here either. Hubby and I ate WAY too much steak and potatoes. then we went out for ice cream, then to the movies and ate popcorn. Bad day in this house. We're fasting today. HAHAA

Not a problem, Today is day here! I am going to go plant my tomatos and mow the yard.Randy dont matter none to me!Thanks my friend.

"Would you believe when I was going through the motions of joining the Navy years ago I had requested sub duty."

I had a buddy who volunteered for sub-duty. He was a nuke tech who had a medical discharge from the Navy after suffering a stroke in his twenties.

He ended up on the Enterprise after he found out he had to get all of his dental fillings redone before going to sea. He had a stoke at sea and had he been on a boomer, he probably would have died before thay could get him to a land based hospital.

I guess you've been keeping up on the Carthage shooting. My kid goes to school with the shooter's step-daughter. Such a sad sad story.

It's a crazy world

http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/4846132/

Here's to you...

Seriously. This is in reply to your blog. Be yourself, and the world will appreciate it. I know I do.

OR could you email me?

Thanks for the kind words on my blog yesterday. You have a great evening, OR. And be sure to post more pictures of your treks as you embark on them. Oh, how is your friend? Is he healing okay? Has he started riding again? Answer at your leisure. -Angela

Donald, you are welcome. I came under fire by a troll and had to leave. You know the drill.

I get tired of the drama and just want to have a conversation with friends.

I hope you have a good evening. And remember...the crazies in the world will not change you.

hopefully...yeah. The trolls will go elsewhere. Ummmmmm, no. They hang around to make life miserable for others because they have nothing better to do.

It's still the same group. Same ole group.

Oh well, I have a life and I seem to care more about the real people than the cyber people. Presant company accepted...I like you...and your blogs. Keep us informed on your adventures. I love to hear about them.

Fly by HI!

Thanks Donald! I'm only up...well...why am I up? Oh yeah, I'm working from home tomorrow and don't have to get up at 5. Good for me!

I will be a sloth tomorrow...I need to be. A lot on my mind. And in my heart.

Good night. I'll be around, especially if I see someone I care about getting attacked.

Have a great night!

Don't go twisting my words. I said my fears that I will get road rage and start shooting. I have never threatened any driver with anything, especially a pistol.

First off, I wasn’t trying to attack or deride you on the blog. With the follow up postings, one could reasonably assume that you (and others) not only didn’t like people flashing their lights, but thought it was wrong, and some implied they would stay in the way longer because of it. You LATER clarified your reasons for not moving over, which I even AGREED with. That should have been the end of it. But then you posted to Happy, saying “Some seem to think flashing lights behind someone entitles them to demand the car in front move over and clear the way”. I assume by some you mean Slayer and myself given we were the ones talking about it. And that was NOT what we said! Then you questioned our thought process, i.e. “But some do not see that logic”, keeping in mind that you posted your reasons AFTER we commented. Slayer’s gun comment was in jest, but you tried to turn it into some kind of threat.

Continued...

So basically, my post on Slayer’s profile was all about your response to Happy, NOTHING you had said previous to that (at least not towards me). We had made our comments previous to your reasons, but you summed them up as if they were presented all together, and we don’t comprehend the logic. That was not the case. That’s basically it. I’ve followed your style of writing for a while, so I assumed it was intentional. If not, then I apologize.

PS When posting my response, saw your comment to Equality Seven 2521 about sub duty. I was briefly on the Lewis & Clark. Definitely not for those that like to see the sun or have a fear of closed in spaces. What’s left of it is now a monument in Charleston, SC. In fact, I think all but one of the ships I’ve been on have been decommission. Either I was on some old ships, or I’m getting old myself! :)

Thank you so much OldRebel. My parents acutally live in Vass (Helen and Rora Kellis). My name is Lora Kellis Denning and I used to work at the Piggly Wiggly and Miller's Restaurant in Vass. Maybe we've bumped into each other.

As for the family, we're getting close to normal again. My grandma and grandmother in law both suffer from dementia/Alzheimer's, so they remember very little of what happened. Both are in good spirits, which is a blessing. Thanks again for your support. We all really appreciate it!

It all boils down to intent. While pistols and road rage are serious things that probably shouldn’t mix, I understand Slayer’s intent and see the humor.

YES, there definitely are jerks that ride up behind you and expect you to get out of the way, even if there’s no where to go. I’m amazed at the people that have fits behind me because I’m not right against the car in front of me, yet we’re all STOPPED in traffic.

My kids and I saw the monument last summer but didn’t realize it was MY sub at the time. The weather was bad so I didn’t read the plague. Kids got a kick out of it later. Said it was like knowing someone from the Titanic. :)

My dad is security at Moore Regional, so they may bump into each other from time to time. I acutally live in Carthage and, with not as many media hounds lurking around, things are settling down for those not directly involved. It will take some time for everyone else, but Pinelake, the police and our community have been wonderful in supporting the families. I have nothing but admiration for what they did and continue to do. Thank you, again, and take care.

You are missing my point OR, I don't care what was said or who started it - you usually do not come onto others' blogs hurling insults. That is not your behavior, you rise above it and move on. People can not get to you if you do not let them. The world is not going to be changed because of a blog, and the moon will still rise tonight. Keep it in perspective my friend, you have a poet's soul....please be true to that and keep it intact.

Two roads diverge....which will you choose?

Hey, we've ALL been there. I guess it's just how you handle it. I know I've not handled things well before, but I didn't have a dog in this fight so it was easy to be the peacemaker. :)

Trust me Reb, I know VERY well how that goes. Been there and done that ...way too many times.

"Feisty...Go back and read how the whole ball of wax began. Slayer has ahd a beef every since this mornings traffic blog went down, IDC just throws stuff out and Sick Rick...is a simple minded little lapdog that jumps in pants on whoever will take time to notice him."

I'm not sure how a blog from this morning got brought into the last one I posted. You seem to be inable of letting go of one comment that was made as a joke. So you don't/didn't find it humorous. Ok, I get but let it go will ya?

YW, anytime. ;)
