Title: Now I'm Not Nekkid
Post by: ber643 on April 22, 2007, 12:01:00 AM
OK, thanks to a good and kind friend, I no longer feel nekkid. In other words, I now have a Tradgang decal on my new truck, like I did my old one.

I just noticed the dog - it actually isn't a reflection but is showing through from the dashboard (a stuffed Taco Bell Chihuahua), right beside my reflection from behind the truck - that is funny. the truck is a 2007 Ranger. I wouldn't have a new one, VTm, but the Ford Co. is so anmxious to move them I could get a new one for no down, and same monthly payments as my 2003 - oh yeah and I got one month with no payment - LOL. I am really blessed  though, and especially right lately.   :pray:

GOOD!!
I have been laying awake nights trying to think of where my spare sticker is. I had two, put one on the truck in November when I bought it, and put the other in "a safe place". I have so many safe places! Then came your needasticker post, I looked for the safe place, and I have had sticker shock ever since!!

Ah, finally, some rest for the weary. SKKNNNNNXXXxxxxx  :cool:

Come to think of it, I got two also and put one up - and, since we have that same problem around here, perhaps I better find a "safer" place - or should that be, a not so safe place?    :goldtooth:

Yep, Roadkill - I must admit the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor went on the first day I got the truck. Nothing new and different on the Coke shell, Mark. I just use it to put my wife's Classics and my DCs in when I go shopping. Easier to haul them home and to carry 'em into the house that way.

At various times they have them for sale in the tradgang gear area here on site, guys. Thanks for looking and the comments - and, Dano , I think I safely speak for Killie also when I say, "In your wildest dreams, Boobie!!!" (but thanks for the offer anyway - LOL)

Bernie, you ol' skinflint! I am truly surprised at you, you who go about doin' all the do-gooder stuff, helpin' folks what need helpin, pattin' hands and such. And here is poor Dano, cautiously pokin' his nose into your thread, wherein you were expounding on the generosity of a fellow TG member. My good friend Dano, the same Dano whose giving heart drove his decrepit, scabby, wretched body to craft each of us a painstakingly wrought, gleaming, golden masterpiece of functional beauty in the slender, sinewy forms of osage selfbows,  offered you safe storage space for some of your treasures, which are amassing right rapidly these days, I might add. And did you show him even a crumb of human kindness, a glimpse of a giving heart, a smidgeon of gratitude?

For shame, both yours and mine. O, the ignominy. I sank into a black morass of despair.

Somewhere around the third mug of Scotch, I got an idea. I cannot save the world. I cannot save you. I cannot even save me. But I  can  save a bit of that child's heart within me that still seeks goodness and justice, generosity of spirit and a love of humankind.

Dano, I started sending you boxes today. I have been on this earth for fifty years, amassing things, and for what? These memories of my childhood and later should not just sit here gathering dust, no matter the joy that I get from their periodic perusal. They have a greater mission in this world, bringing happiness to a fellow human being. So I spent the weekend packing them up in boxes and addressing them, Hawaian knick-knacks from '59, a bronze coin commemorating some Navy function in Yokosuka, Japan in '62, the dirndl skirt that I made when I was twelve, my brother's Boy Scout bugle that he has forgotten about, my stick collection. Dano, Dano, what a lifetime of happiness will start arriving on your doorstep any day now! Calendars marked with the days of my years, boxes of paper memories, all the cards given me by my husband  on anniversaries, birthdays, Valentines Days and Halloween, various writings, including my college thesis, "The Advantages and Disadvantages of Government-Controlled Castration of Horses" and also an unfinished, unstarted tract featuring The Itty Bitty Litter Lady under my pen name, Norma Leigh Lucid. Pencils, pens, crayons from a collection I started in the second grade, beads and trinkets, (loose) and numerous old shoes saved for their leather content, some of which I found on the street.

The furniture will follow, starting Wednesday. After twenty years, the sofa doesn't smell like chihuahua pee anymore, unless it gets damp.

Naw, I just don't drive very far from my home area, Jeff.

Chort Draw - Killie is sending all that "good" stuff to Dano, not me, and you know what? I think you were able to change me, Killie. You have a good, kind, and valuable point there. I don't know what I was thinking - must have had a brain lapse there. Here, good friend Dano offers to take all our spare stuff and I cut him off at the pass without proper consideration. WOW! I could clean out my "Glory Hole Room" in ... oh, say a week or three. (The smile might even return to my wife's face once again!) I wonder how many broken gee-gaws, parts, bad-metal foriegn tools, unknappable rocks, old underware, socks with "small" holes, K and C ration packets, rusty fishhooks, tin non-whistles, etc., etc. you can get in each one of those flat rate boxes. (Wonder can you pick up a gross of those mailers at a time?) AND best of all we can really help Dano fill up his new home in Lost Vegas right away - so he'll have more time to devote to staring at the desert sand (or playing the slots) - he certainly won't have any room left to work in or around his place - not with all our junk ... er "Good" extra stuff there. You're a genius, Killie, and you've shown me the light and the error of my haste (we can also, at the same time, sort of pay him back, er - I mean show him we forgive him for not making ATAR this year!) It is a good thing we will be doing -   :notworthy:    :campfire:     :clapper:     :jumper:

COOL!!! I always wanted a crayon collection, and how I miss my C-rat collection (had to eat them when I got devorced)   :bigsmyl:  


Dang !! I wonder how fast the movers can get here, the way the postal service is I should have at least a week if ya'all send that stuff Priority mail.  ;)
Title: Re: Now I'm Not Nekkid
Post by: Killdeer on April 24, 2007, 03:55:00 PM
I tried to send the sofa "Express", but they were out of Express mailers in that size.
Bernie, you have made me feel that there is hope in the worl yet. Thank you for restoringeth my faith in human kindneth.  :campfire:  

Which came first, the C-rats or the K-rats? I don't know chit!

Post by: Killdeer on April 24, 2007, 09:03:00 PM
Bernie, you should mail the stuff now, before Dano moves. It's cheaper to send it to the midwest than the western midwest.
Hey! I am sending you my board-and-cinderblock bookshelves, too, Dano ol' buds!  :wavey:

Have ya seen the decorator cinderblock they have out nowa days???   :biglaugh:
Title: Re: Now I'm Not Nekkid
Post by: Killdeer on April 24, 2007, 09:34:00 PM
That's the only kind I'll salvage. It's about 4" thick with a kinda flowery pattern inside. The boards are the finest pine. That'll help save some weight.  :jumper:

I used to have a bunch of those book cases, but just plain ol' cinder blocks. I gave 'em to my daughter when we went to Maine to look after Ma. I think her "man of choice" at the time ate 'em or something. I never saw 'em when we came back, anyway. Don't ask, don't tell, you know?
