Jury sends notes to judge in ex-pastor's sex-abuse

[Swimmy]

gotcha. sorry for the misinterpretation.

[thelma]

There is a huge difference between loving a family member and molesting them.

When my GD was between the ages of 2 until she was about 4, she had a hard time falling asleep by herself in her own bed. I use to drive to her house ever night and just lay down next to her until she fell asleep - then I would go home. Eventually, as she got older, these times became fewer and fewer.

[thelma]

GD stands for grand daughter in computer language - you should know this.

Good Luck in quitting smoking. More and more of us are doing this.

[frankcor]

Good luck, losjibaros. That's how I quit, lo these 7 years ago. And if you crack and start smoking again, just keep trying. It took me more than once, for sure.

I'll try to remember not to pick any arguments with you for next few weeks, goddammit.

[Clipper]

Good luck LJ, I quit using the gum for about 4 or 5 days, and finally said the hell with it and just quit cold turkey as you are doing.

I wonder if the staff should put up an announcement on the board "don't mess with LJ, he has quit smoking, and messing with him could be hazardous to your health', haha.

I quit 2 years ago. You will be surprised how much better you will feel. I was amazed.

AND YOU WILL SMELL BETTER TOO!!!! Hee hee

[Clipper]

PS: thelma, I am in the south. I thought GD was an abbreviation for "Git r Done"!

[thelma]

LOL Clipper.

Just to clarify everything, just remember when I use GD - it means Grand Daugther. You've met her and know why I'm so proud of her. Especially now that she has finally dumped "Mitch" and now has a "new" boyfriend who treats her like the Queen she is.

Thank you, St. Rita.

[thelma]

My sentiments exactly. frankcor

For awhile there, I thought this was going to be a battle I was going to lose. BUT - she finally realized by herself that "Mitch" wasn't even worthy enough to shine her shoes.

Now, she is beginning to lead her life like a normal teenager and I'm sure there will be many boyfriends to come before she finds the "right" one she wants to spend the rest of her life with. In the meantime, she is just going to have fun.

[frankcor]

LOL, why do I hear Cindy Lauper singing in my head?

I'm tickled your GD has stopped being attracted to the bad boy. If you want Uncle Frank to have "the talk" with the new beau, send him my way. It usually starts out something like "Did I mention I am a Vietnam vet? And a member of the NRA? And I hear these voices?" They always seem a little distracted by the camouflage paint on my face and the bowie knife in my pony-tail. But they get the message.

[Swimmy]

I want to work in the DA's office. Then, if I'm lucky enough to find "Miss Right for Swimmy," and if we have a daughter, I can tell her boyfriend that I'm in the DA's office, I can make him disappear and everyone would think he committed suicide. Of course that might be a little unethical, but when it comes to protecting my future children...

[frankcor]

swimmy, Calm down. First you have the kid. Then you start thinking about disappearing every boy who catches her eye.

And don't risk your DA career. Just call Uncle Frank.

[Clipper]

Hell, swimmy, ya got two old crusty hardcore viet vets here to take care of business, haha!
I don't have the pony tail though. I have to carry a bowie knife in a plain old boring belt sheath if I carry one. Haha! I prefer powder propelled projectiles myself. LOL

If ya should happen to have the pleasure of meeting "uncle Frank" snap a pic of the bowie knife sticking out of his pony tail. I have visions now of Rambo Frank, living off the land, and roaming the adirondacks seeking justice for all, while his former commander tries to talk him into returning to civilization.

I sympathize with Frank's feelings. It is hard not to want to use the training that Uncle gave us, to take care of punk ass tough guys. I myself had the normal training prior to deployment, couple with my interest and training as a boxer while in the navy. I am WAY too old for physical conflict, at this point in my life, haha. Hopefully I will never have to use those skills again to defend my personal physical well being or that of my loved one's. I am sure Frank feels the same way.

A few years ago some punkass kid in his twenties stirred some crap with me in Hannafords market. He ended up taking a swing, and I broke his nose and left him with his feet sticking up out of one of the open topped refrigerated displays. I doubt that he runs over older men's heels with his cart anymore, and if he does, he probably is more polite and apologizes instead of running his mouth threatening to kick any "old man's ass" as he called it. An old lady witnessed the events and she was the only reason I was not arrested most likely.

I am much happier being a "mellow" old fart. With no bogus reasons anymore to have to defend my manhood, or pride. I simply keep a shotgun loaded for any dumbass crack head that decides to invade my home at our age, haha.

[frankcor]

Yeah, Clipper. I let my mouth do my talking, not my hands any more. But when it comes to a young man needing some reminders about respecting a young lady, I'm ready to teach. Let me make this clear; I am not a violent man. But I have no problem using my resemblance to Tony Soprano when it's helpful.

It sounds like you appreciate the importance of making your first shot count.

I'm not as good as I once was. But I'm as good once as I ever was. -- Toby Keith

[Clipper]

I heard every bit of that Frank, and respect all of it. I also agree with the Toby Keith quote and subscribe completely, haha. Have a good night. I have to get my beauty sleep for all the good it does. Later my friend, God bless. Say a prayer for our brother's in harms way on your way to dreamland.

Tony soprano?? Swimmy, I REALLY want that picture now, haha!
