oopps another error above. Maryann you posted first but I did not see the newest I guess. I must have been typing as you were typing and you beat me to posting by one minute. Still, a grave mistake..gg

Hi Denise,

I'll tell you a secret if you promise not to tell anyone;-)

I can shoot a buck, but can't gut him.

I can blast a shotgun at a covey of quail but can't step on the head of a wounded one to put it out of it's misery or gut it.

I can hook a fish, dig out the hook and stick my finger in it's mouth and bend it back, crunching it's neck to kill it but can't gut it!

Should someone attempt to force me to do any of the above, I disintegrate into a pile of blubbering flesh!

Shhhhhhhh! Please don't let anyone know that I'm such a sissy;-((

Denise,

No I didn't know this about Maryann. Every once in a while she gives me something to get her with and this is the best yet!!!!!

You said above that you are a sculptress, tell me more. Perhaps you could cut some waxs for me to cast?

Hello George,
Pleeeeze wait until after tonight to get your sis cause she's pickin' me up for FAF.

My sculpting is not the lost wax process. Depending on what medium I'm using, calls for different techniques. Example; When doing pewter miniatures, animals, or anything else you can name, I will first start by sculpting the piece out of clay. Then once I've finished that, I make a frame to place my RTV in with the finished clay piece that has been baked. Then once the RTV hardens, I take and cut it through to take out the clay piece. Hence, I have a mold for the piece to pour in molten pewter (lead free).
When doing wood pieces, I simply take a piece of wood and begin to whittle away everything that doesn't look like the piece I want to do, leaving me with a finished product of my idea.
In January, I'm going back to college to learn casting with Bronze or Brass.
Depending on what you want made I could attempt to sculpt out of wax, although that is easier said than done as far as my attempts. If the piece is relatively simple as to the dimensions, then I could possibly sculpt it and make a mold out of it with the RTV (room temperature vulcanizer). Let me know what the piece is and I could tell you more.
God Bless you,
Denise

More 1500s stuff;-)

England is old and small and they started out running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

I don't know about you guys but this one seems way weird?!;-}}

Boy oh boy, I had a number done on me today;-(

I had been looking for a radio station for years that played the kind of older type songs I love so much and finally found one today. I had called my favorite ministry to tell them I had some defective tapes for them to replace. They of course wanted to know what station I listen to so as to give them the credit. I told the gal I had no clue. She then looked up the local stations and gave me the FM locations.

I tuned in about 2 pm and wow, what a thrilllll! Songs came over that I had not heard in 25 years other than when I play them by ear on my accordian! There were various Christian ministries like Swindoll, Focus, etc. and advertisements about Baptist this and Loma Linda that.

As "At Calvary" came on, my desire to share my glee was just to much and I couldn't think of anyone better to share with then the webmaster and webmaster-ette. I got Mr. Web himself on the phone and was just bubbling with joy, excitement, glee, happiness, pleasure, jubilance, exultation, etc. and etc. Mr. Web was twittering!? That puzzled me only for a short time as he tried to stave (splinter) my jubilatin' by informing (snitching) me that this station that gave me such joy was an SDA owned radio station!!!!!!!!!!!

I informed him that I didn't "give a rip" as I didn't care who produced the "good ol'songs!"

Aint that a hoot? Actually, Mr. Web likes the station too, he just had to give me a hard time! I guess that I find it hard to understand how an SDA owned station could have gone secular? There are ministries that are absolutely in oppostion to the fundamental SDA doctrines on this station.

I guess that money talks and BS walks is true in SDAism. Just look at the un-healthful money makin' "Little Debbie" goldmine that comes from Collegedale Tn! (One of my brothers went to school with Little Debbie. In fact, when she was 14, a horse dumped her and she lost an eye on a fencepost!)

This has been a great day. I'm thankful that I finally found some music that makes my whole being just...........happy!

Hi all... Had the following sent to me today:

This is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. Radio conversation released by the chief of naval operations, 10-10-95.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier US LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north; or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

As busy as I've been cutting Christmas trees, I'm tired!

In other words, I really understand Al Gore because I'm "Bushed!"
