  1. Hey All,

    Paul forgot his password and is waiting for it to reset... silly! Sorry we've not be so active lately. But we thought we should drop you guys a line, or two, and let you know some pretty big news.

    Today Paul and I will seal our love in marriage... this afternoon, if neither of us faints. We are sort of running on autopilot this morning after all our friends and brothers, the older ones, gave us a tame bachelor's party last night out at the river.

    Tomorrow Paul and I will be flying out to Wyoming to a dude ranch for a week's honeymoon. What better place for two horse breeders to go, right? We can show them our fancy riding skills, and just hope we don't fall off their quarter horses and huge western saddles!

    We decided to hyphenate our last names. I won the toss, so mine will go first... as it should be!

    Take care,

    Paco and a silly Paul

  2. It seems we can lose a pint of blood between the pool and the house. Mosquitos are just a fact of life down here near the Gulf. Want a real bite, just cavort with horse flies! Those buggers can give you all sorts of problems.

    We hope you get better soon!

  3. Not all of us from the younger generations are so stupid.

    Cole's story opened a good discussion with our dads. And, hey we do read. War stories are not my preference, but Cole's Snyder wasn't really about the war, it was about people and acceptance. I liked this one, even if it had no romance... I am just a fool for romances.

  4. Hey Guys.

    I wasn't sure where to put this. I'm on Dragon and it might turn out weird. But I wanted to say hey and thak all of you for your good wishes. Paulie says I talk just fine so let the program do its thing.

    He let me read his post to you guys. It makes me look like I need to slap him upside the head! I'm not a total veggie!

    OK so I can only move my fingertips and toes on my left foot. But I'll be back in full force in no time. Watch me!

  5. What Makes a Family by Julien http://www.nifty.org...makes-a-family/ has been posted sporadically since 2008 though updates seem to be more regular of late.

    * The story involves two men breaking up after a long relationship and the raising of a child for most of the years of that relationship. *

    * It is refreshing to see an adult-oriented story. *

    Yep, they stayed perfectly sane while the kid was about, then fell apart. See? We're good for something!

  6. Paul and I have found some really good stories and authors on Nifty. Both of us usually read in the YoungFriends section. Yes, there are many stories I find distasteful, but the good thing... I don't have to read them. If I could write stories like you guys I would post them where ever someone would likely read them... Nifty, AD or the local grocery bulletin board.

    You all make valid points. Just don't get carried away and hurt feelings, nobody needs that.

  7. Yes, Chris, I thought that it might be a bit of a stretch for a white Southern church, and the white hoods would certainly be appropriate for the church I'm writing about, but there might be something appropriate for the story.

    Des, I am surprised theBattle Hymn of the Republic was known to you growing up in Australia. It is so identified with the Northern side in the American Civil War that it never occurred to me that people outside the US would know it. How interesting. Now, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, makes more sense to me, because I could see American soldiers in the First World War singing it at the front and passing it on to Allies fighting along side them.

    Thanks everyone.

    Hey people! Granted I am not old enough to know what went on in the 1970's South, but the very idea of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" being sung in a southern church, much less any street in Mississippi would be grounds for a "legal lynchin'"!!

    Whites in the South do NOT boogie-woogie in the aisles, unless they are Pentecostals. Even then they would be circumspect about what they were singing... in some strange language.

  8. I need catchers! What is it with kids these days? None of them want to catch...although shortstops that can actually understand when to cover 2nd come a close 2nd. :)

    Us shortstops catch almost as much as the guys behind the plate! And, it's not just 2nd base... a lot of guys forget 3rd, too! I get a good workout every time I play.
