Hello! Jack, Sometimes when I'm not having my best day I try to ask myself the question what can I do for myself that would really make me happy or feel good! The strange thing is that some of the time the situation that takes place that brings a brighter side around for me is seeing other people enjoying themselves or being happy! An Example! I'll see my two daughters being silly, giggling, laughing and just carrying on! Then I'll say why are you behaving like that? They'll say, " Just having fun!" Jack , I think sometimes the responsibility of being a loved one, a parent, etc, carries with it a great presence of feeling protective of those around you! As the day to day pressures of life build, every once in a while we can get overwhelmed by the level of overprotection we exert in the love of those near and dear to our hearts! From time to time I try to remind myself that no matter how much I care for those around me--I am not able to live someone else's life for them!--So! I think it's a good idea to remind ourselves of that point once in awhile! It's one of those scenario's that's easy to talk about but more difficult to do! ( At least in my situation!)..... I don't know if it's as much the money driving everything, or everyone trying to drive the money? Jack! I think you have a lot to offer on the NYRR Thread--I agree with Dexx that we should keep the discussions of this thread on it's original subject matter. I'll be thinking good thoughts your way ! Take care! Wayne J.

Hi, Jack! Monday, June 8, I was 35 miles away attempting to "snag" a renter by sprucing up the front yard. One came along and I negotiated myself into oblivion after days and days of extended projects. There was just enough time left before dark to give an 80 year old neighbor across the street (Mr. Edmonds) a hand. So instead we sat on his front deck chatting. He said "Oh oh. Somebody's looking for a quarter. ...I try to avoid this." (It's a rough time neighborhood.) A little boy popped up, soon followed by his "puppy dog". We made quite a fuss enjoying the dog. He was feeling very proud of that, and was a surprisingly mature little character! So, somehow 2 other boys surfaced as if the coast was clear. Eventually the three were all over the place (wanting to help us) and we had to escape! I cut the backyard until dark & we leaned on the fence talking: (Mr. Edmonds) "When I was 5, I began accompanying Expediter Kenny in a horse drawn buggy. I don't ever think my parents knew. Of course he was the one who delivered the packages." ...I haven't remembered that far back in years." So, I asked if he thought it was the little boy? ".....Perhaps." "you know, in the real scheme of things, human's are nothing.." Then we talked about what's beyond us, stars we could see that aren't really shining still, how the movements of a sleeping person played back at high speed look like those of a microscopic organism with only 4 days to live; and how a motor cyclist who created sparks on the road by dragging the heal of his boot might be creating something much like the Milky Way, and he laughed about "How people would think we we're nuts for talking this way", and "Einstein constantly left home forgetting to ware his pants." You said: $$$..What a shame.. ....I don't know what has happened in the last 25 years...Its like people think a lot and have good ideas but for what ever reason elect not to say what they feel... Take care my JG What ever our individual entries turn out to be here on SI, I like to think there are little filtering mechanisms we somehow add because we are all different. They help us discover something special. "Who on SI we can have extra faith in because they show the ability/understanding, or motivation to step through our custom made "style" as they read our words and show appreciation for the actual person who did the typing. I for one, have enjoyed your posts that talk of wild excursions. ...And anyone who has to run from his dog... (my brothers dog Fang contributed heavily to the "Oh! zone" too! ..He used to call it ..."a Fang Bang") -g- Well, anyone who has to escape that crisis, it's only because this dog must care for you very much and desires to be close. So, you must be quite a guy! IYDO (your dog's opinion!) Which is more than good enough for me! A finer character reference may never be found. My brother loved his dog much. I'm sure in this way, you and he are drastically the same. Lots of other ways too. Oh well, off once more to my little rentals. I am going to make them as pretty as cockoo clocks, ...and then pray! Famous last words! hehe? ...but you are among friends who notice and enjoy you, be that nothing in the scheme of things, ...or everything right now. And I think U is a "Good Guy." -g- Dave
