((MisterJ)) I understand what you're saying. Paw and my mother are first cousins. He loved to talk and cook! He could also "cut a rug", too (with those funny dances)!
We will miss him so much, especially at our family reunions. He was a great cook who made a "mean" gumbo!!! My cousin, Barbara, knows it, first hand, how good he could cook. Our family has/had many great cooks.
Some of the fondest memories I have are of our extended family sharing meals. Folks would stop by to get a little bit of this, and a little bit of that and we would sit around and talk for hours.
One of my most treasured memories of my aunt Roxanna, Barbara's mother, is the food she prepared for us every day after our day at high school ended. Everything she prepared, we LOVED . . . even the hamburgers, hot dogs, sheet cake, fries, etc. just made you want to eat your fingers -- it tasted so good!!!! I believe Aunt Roxanna's and Paw's food was so good because it was prepared with love! Love is the glue that has always held our family together.
((caitlinabel), I'm not sure that we've met but I'm looking forward to getting to know you much better. Know that you are loved.

Sure wish I could be there to take part in the celebration of Steve's life and contributions on and off the field. Wish they will do a little something during Homecoming next weekend.
RIP #9 (Air McNair) we will always love you!

((mrmojorisin)) I see you are speaking from experience!!! Daughter #3 sounds like me >> straight-laced and conservative in dress with a strong understanding of self and with her own individual style.
Now, daughter #4 appears to be very open-minded and adventurous. Yeah, you may need to buckle in for the ride but I wouldn't worry too much. Your other daughters turned out just fine and daughter #4 will too!

((natashakubelikov)) you know so much about these people you're posting about -- quite a bit of information only a close friend, family member or confidante would know. You must be a part of their inner circle? If not, how else could you be privy to so much of their personal business and finances?
How many of them have you reported to the appropriate authorities?

((soldout94)) . . . skunks and snakes!!!! ASU is dear to my heart, too! I pledged Delta there and I am very happy to read that my Sorors are actively involved with Habitat for Humanity in Natchez. I volunteered with a crew from my law firm about 22 years ago and we had so much fun painting and landscaping the home of an elderly couple. We purchased groceries for them, too. The smiles on their faces were priceless!!!!
I wish the Natchez chapter of Habitat for Humanity was able to build more homes in Natchez area but these projects take a lot of time, money, resources and coordination.
My hat also goes off to Mr. Calvit, Mr. Tillage, Kappa Alpha Psi and Delta Sigma Theta for their efforts to help a needy family. You always feel better when you help someone else or do something unexpected to brighten someone else's day!
GREAT JOB . . . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!

((mrmojorisin and Gimmeabreak)) Your posts reflect a lot of my own thoughts about this issue. I have a couple of more observations and comments I would like to share, then I'm done (finished) with this subject.
I appears we are very quick to forget our own transgressions or we have selective memory when it comes to similar issues. Remember the "hippie" years when most of the young folks were wearing their hair long and wore hip-hugger (low-rider) jeans?!?!?!? Most parents hated it and the schools would sanction male students who violated the dress code by wearing their hair below their shirt collar. But they wore it until they matured and outgrew the look or the fad changed.
I often hear awful high-pitched screaming sounds that come from pickup trucks blasting heavy metal music. I would put it into the same category and some of the rap >> inaudible lyrics with lots of negative messages. I just roll my windows up and go on about my business never to think about again during the course of my day because I have more important things needing my attention.
I don't understand why some of you posters find it appropriate to mention "sagging pants", "rap music" and "big rims" almost every time an article mentions an inner-city kid or incident!?!?!?!
At least you're not looking at these young men's butt-crack -- because they do wear underwear and their clothes are clean.
Try to find more productive ways to make yourself feel better other than beating up on this group of young men with the same old lame crap! Other than being young and impressionable, there's nothing wrong with most of them. However, there appears to be something seriously wrong with you if you find your comments amusing, warranted and appropriate.

The plumbers have been exposing their butts for years! There's even a name for it, "plumber's crack"! Maybe the kids are emulating the plumbers with a new generational trend.
I can't stand the sight of it ... no matter whose wearing it. So, I hope they will start ticketing "Joe the plumber", too!!!!!!
