gogul: Learn how to spell

Okay, I messed up, on spelling...did anybody catch that?

The Whisper: I'm still waiting for the stories :)

Groucho: Okay, glad to know someone else is here...

The grandmother...told me about a time in her life... when she was going to school and was learning things about life...and about science. She said that she began to learn about the planets, that these things existed. She went home and told her mother about these things in the sky and her mother slapped her face for talking about blashemy. (I don't think I spelled that right) Her family did not believe that there are other planets in our universe.

blasphemey: that is the correct spelling for the storie about the mother who slapped her daughter's face.

The Whisper: I'm listening :) and????......

I have regrets my friends, that I am telling my stories...with much lack of sleep. I must get up each morning @ 5:30 A.M. and go into work to get the agency's van and pick up our families by 7 a.m. Last night, we had to terminate a male from our program and we had to ask for the assistance of the police. I've had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep...then put in a full day of work.

Groucho: Well, she could not believe it when I affirmed that her learning and observations are truthful. What I have a problem with is knowing that people today, are so ignorant.

The Whisper: Ouch, that hurts. I need a full nights sleep or I'm a zombie.

Groucho: I almost WAS a zombie. I was very discombobulated...couldn't remember what day it was...it was weird...said things like, "last night" instead of "tonight"...I can't believe I made it through the day. BUT!!! You know what, women are strong!!!

I told the grandmother about our galaxy...about how there are many solar systems in our galaxy.. and that there are millions and millions of galaxies in the universe. Who knows how many... she was maybe stunned is the word, but was comfortable to be affirmed

Well, the grandmother had a bad tooth. Really bad. In this country (USA), if you dont' have insurance, you are scre... as far as dental care (health care also). I advocated with a free clinic to please help this woman. The free clinic services only those who are working but who have no insurance. I got an appointment for her FINALLY and she had to take the whole troop with her on the city bus. The story of this episode JUST begins.

The appointment was late in the evening. The bad tooth was extracted...but, by the time the procedure was finished, public transportation had ended. The family found themselves trying to find their way back to where they needed to be. The family had just recently relocated to our area in the search of services that were not available in the area that they had come from. Thus, they were lost.

The grandmother had a unique gift in that she could tell a hard time story in a way that would make the listener laugh...

The grandmother and her troop began walking, and walking, and walking. Then came the rain, and I remember the day. It was a soaking rain. So we have the grandmother with gobs of gauze in the side of her mouth, a son with his children in tow, and a daughter who was wearing high heels (she liked to look cute).

Anyone please feel free to comment at any time. I am thinking that no one is here.

The Whisper: I'm here :)

The Whisper: You'll find tons of folks read the boards but very few people will reply or post themselves.

Rose: yep....when there's a red number, I'm on it ;)

I am glad to hear that someone is ... listening. And Groucho...what is a red number?

The Whisper: when there is a post on the board a red number appears telling you that a new message has been posted :)

The children in tow were ages 1 & 3. I could only imagine...and in the rain. The family began asking directions of people on the street. No one had a clue where this family needed to be. The grandmother tried to flag down a police patrol car - waving her arms about. The "unit" drove on by. Along the long walk that they had, the young daughter saw a man on a bicycle and asked directions. The man was obviously drunk as he pointed to two places at 180 degrees apart. The Grandmother reported to me that she said to the daughter, " Of all the people you wanna ask, you gotta ask a wino!"

Groucho: Gotcha!

Rose: Thanks Rose!

I must ask for feedback at this time. I love telling my stories...without interruption...but at this point I want to know what everyone thinks.

The Whisper:

Your tale is unfolding nicely. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Jim was flying his lear jet over Cuba on his flight to Brazil. He was a representative of a coffee company in Florida who was checking on companies in South America. All of a sudden all his gages were malfunctioning and he was loosing control of his plane....

The Doctor built a human size robot in 20 minutes to Sarahs Amazement. Inside the castle Tickwater was being placed on a chopping block.

Tom could not find any lifeforms. He roamed around starving. The sky was red and dark

gogul: Hi there. I am not joking about homeless either. As I posted before... one of our families was headed by a Grandmother who could spin a sad story to make it funny. I am only relating her ONE story here.

gogul: :) I am happy to hear that things are so much better in your country...and they should be better here! Everyone thinks that this is the land of opportunity...but more and more are finding themselves homeless for many different reasons. I would like to finish my story before I go on...and SkyKing...I thought you were going to add on here... not confuse me...LOL

gogul: I commend you for learning languages other than your own.

gogul: Most of our homeless ARE the weakest in our society. Sad we can not do anything about that. The government will not...anyway.

The Whisper: Our government just recently decided to NOT raise the minimum wage. Well...the price of everything keeps going up, up,up,up,up!!! How are our citizens supposed to make it on the meager wages we are paid? And our Congress votes to NOT raise their wages. Minimum wage has not been raised since the latter 90's. The powerful control everything. The poor are here for a reason. They do the jobs that others (the wealthy) don't want to do.

The Whisper: Geez, I made a HUGE mistake in my last post. Congress DID VOTE to raise their wages. They refused a raise to the working class. My apoligies.

is minimum wage the same price across the country? In Canada is it anywhere from $6.50 to $8.50Ca depending on the province you are in

Skyking has expressed to me that he thinks that I am behaving like I "own the Stories page." Really? Any thoughts from anyone?

Rose Hi there! It IS the same across the country...I think!? I have never looked into it...you raise a good question! Thanks!

The Whisper: Well in his defence he did try to start a story that was ignored a bit ago. Simple chat can go on General chat too don't forget. Also your own stories might be better read if you posted them as one post instead of many short posts? Just a suggestion mind you. Not telling you what to do.

Rose: Thank you for responding. :) I am sorry that his story was ignored. I understand his feelings now. As far as my own stories...I thought that it might be more intriguing for the readers to tell bits and pieces...keep everyone wanting to come back - you know. Also, if I told the whole story at once, I would be typing forever and you ALL would be reading forever. :)

The Whisper: Makes sense. The old format here a while back was folks would start a story with a paragraph or few sentences, then some folks would add to it so that everyone involved contributed to the story, made it very interesting. Other folks post stories they have written or are writing also.

The Whisper: I have to agree with Rose on your story. With posting bits and pieces, and so much chat in between, it's hard to follow the story.

Groucho: OK everyone, I understand now...and thank you. No more chat or questions from me! :)

...He found out a bird had hit one of the engines..

Every story I start is for anyone to feel free to add to it.

Skyking: Suddenly, the plane started to dive!

The Whisper: The engine sputtered and choked as it tried to stay alive.....
