Ramblings of Silver Blue

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. – Harriet Beecher Stowe

Welcome to my blog. Enrapment officials enter this door. Thanks to Blogeline who pointed the way to Ted’s entry. (Of course, Ted also has an entry in Vi@gra for Cats, which I’m sure would make Miss Kitty happy, but scare Mr. Mouse.

Blogeline, of Blogeline’s Journal asked: 1)What is the best/happiest memory you have of your life so far? That would be the day I found out (it was my birthday in 1998) that the job I had interviewed for at CHK had been offered to me. The situation at my then-job was so stressful I would [...]

A man pulled into a gas station on the outskirts of town. As he filled his tank, he remarked to the attendant, “I’ve just accepted a job in town. I’ve never been to this part of the country. What are people like here?” “What are people like where you came from?” the attendant asked. “Not [...]

Thanks to Diamond Lil for passing this on I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze. A young Marine saluted it, And then he stood at ease.. I looked at him in uniform So young, so tall, so proud, With hair cut square and eyes alert He’d stand out in [...]

All Hail The Queen! (DOWN boy!) Nite!

Tink, of Flitting Here and There asks: 1. Chocolate and mint or chocolate and caramel? (No, chocolate and orange is not a choice) Chocolate and mint, baby. The caramel, being made of milk, combined with the chocolate, also made of milk, is just too much. And I can say that because like Suzanne Sugarbaker, I, [...]

Fritz, of On The Fritz, asks: 1) What does the “F” stand for? The “F” stands for “Forester”, a family name of which I’m the third generation. I learned a long time ago to contract it to F. as people tend to want to spell it “Foster”, “Forster”, or “Forrester”, all of which are incorrect. [...]

“As long as we love instead of hate, does it matter who we love? Depending on the circumstances, and who is invovled, it DOES make a difference.” (First line origin unknown; second line F. John Barker III, 1986)

Audience participation time. Three Questions 1. Ask me three questions (use the comments below, or send an email). These questions can be about anything at all. No subject is taboo. 2.

(And for those who don’t appreciate the fact I present photos stolen from around cyberspace: TOO BAD.)

A young man married a beautiful woman who had previously divorced ten husbands. On their wedding night, she told her new husband, “Please be gentle, I’m still a virgin.” “What?” said the puzzled groom. “How can that be if you’ve been married ten times?” “Well, husband No.1 was a Sales Representative; he kept telling me [...]

TAKE HOLD OF EVERY MOMENT A friend of mine opened his wife’s underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: “This, – he said – isn’t any ordinary package.” He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. “She got this the first time we went to New [...]

This is taken DIRECTLY from Margaret Cho’s blog at http://www.margaretcho.com/blog/blog.htm. Since her blog doesn’t have Trackbacks or ways of specifying entries, I copy it here exactly as she posted it. I may not agree with everything Ms. Cho says, or every stance she takes, however this touched me enough to pass it on. Think of [...]

The cost of nothing? That crap’s expensive! Nite!

This past weekend was great. I always enjoy talking with and being around Revog and her new beau Eunuchs Unix Man. This isn’t important to the story of my birthday CD, but the song “Carefree Highway” is dedicated to her. “Something Beautiful” by Great Big Sea is dedicated to Tink. “Pavement Cracks” is dediated to [...]

yesterday, we stopped in Williamsburg to see Lois Lane, from whom PoloRandy purchases garments. She told us of her holiday, where she went home to see her brother in the sticks, who is an undertaker. He mentioned a recent funeral that happened on a hillside. The chairs where lined up, and a rather hefty woman [...]

Hope it was a good one!

Well, I was BUSY. Very busy. But not too busy to let you all in on the latest from He Who Should not have a PC. You remember him. The guy who couldn’t remember how to get the floppy out of his computer. Anyway, today he calls me, while I’m in the middle of 9 [...]

Remember to get your stories in. (Or I get to keep the nifty prize for myself)
