Awesome thoughts alpha male!
ALPHA HE, ALPHA SHE An ALPHA male, an ALPHA female, How will they ever get along? He barks commands, she bears her teeth. They both are right, but never wrong. When they fight together, their fir flies, And they bicker it seems it’s all the time. I don’t know how they ever do it. And, it is really just a crime. But, they say they love each other. And they’ve been together many years. And even though they fight so much, At night they make up with many tears. Some day, I guess they will make up. And then they may make peace. They might even bury the hatchet, And their senseless war will cease. By Joseph R Bowman 29 August, 2007
Bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker bicker. It is enough to make you turn to licker. (not booze) If you don't bicker, it means that one you, agrees with everything the other says. That SUCKS! Two ALPHA's rarely agree. We have outlasted so many who died of boredom. Is your spouse a woosie? Are you a woosie? or do you fight like wildcats behind closed doors... but when you go outdoors, you are as sweet as Splenda?
Get well Kim! I am so glad the pain is gone. I love you, Dad
Hi Amber! Just want to say that Bo had a great time. He enjoyed photographing you it was effortless he said because you're natural& seem to like the outdoors. Although both of you were extremely hot from the scorching heat, you never complained. He said call when you're ready to take the 2nd session. He hopes you liked the untouched pics & let him know which ones you want- what sizes, black & white etc. Again Thanks for being a great subject. tammmy
Amber, you are a beautiful young woman. I am proud of you. Love, Grandpa
What is this near death experience? Explain...In a few hours, Mama and Nina will arrive and I will be there to hug them and take them off to dinner. Maybe MickeyD's
SEMPER FI, MY LOVE My Sweetheart is in the SERVICE. He is a UNITED STATES MARINE! Each day he serves our Country, And he is so tall and lean. When they deploy his unit, He keeps us in his heart. Each day we send our true love, And so we are never apart. When he is close to danger, My love protects him best. Cause a picture of his sweetheart, Is right there beneath his vest. So, if you happen to love a Jarhead, You must remember this, SEMPER FI, MY DARLING! And seal it with a kiss. The one who loves you best. I dedicate this poem to Derek Roberson. USMC You are our hero. You serve our Country And keep us safe from harm. May God protect you. And, may the wind be at your six. And may you have a following sea. Joseph R Bowman 25 August 2007
Happy 55th Anniversary I look at you sweetheart, And how clearly I see, You are wrinkled and crippled. Now, you look back at me. You see my heart is broken, And my blood sugars are high. I am stinted and stapled together, It’s a wonder that I don’t die. But, we two are still lovers. And we can cuddle all night. Well, we still look pretty good, When we turn out the light. Though time has destroyed us, In the day’s failing light, Our love is still shinning.. And it still sparkles bright. By Joseph R Bowman 23 August 2007 I dedicate this poem to my dearest sweetheart Bea. We have been married 55 years today. Happy anniversary and may there be many more. We have weathered many a storm during our life together. I am not sure how we did it. We have seen and done it all. We raised our family. We have been blessed with the love of our children. We have been beach bums. We have helped raise our grandchildren. And now, we are almost retired. We still look good, (if you don’t look too close). How many years we have ahead of us is questionable. But on that last day, I want you to know that I will love you more tomorrow, than I have the past 54 years. Happy anniversary my dearest Bea and may all your tomorrows be better than today. My Love always, your Joe
Happy Anniversary my dearest Bea. We haved been married more than half a century and I missed you last night as though we just married. Being with you is still a thrill and an adventure. After all this time, I still love you more today than I did yesterday, and less than I will tomorrow. Hurry back to me. My love always, your Joe
It was nice to hear the school buses this a.m. I thought of all of you that would be going to school and wondering how your day went. I know most will now be busy and on a new routine for the next months. I am getting ready to fly to Houston wot visit family that live there and also family that is coming from Pa. Glad that hurricane Dean decided to go south. Keep in touch and check on Joe while I am out of town.
Happy birthday Mark. you will never be as good looking as you were yesterday. I can't imagine that you are 23 going on 34. You and I have been together all of your life. We have sharred some important events. Good luck to you the rest of your life. I was astonished to see you without your shirt. (ha ha ha) What a character you are MJ. You are my Grandson and it was so nice to share your birthday with you. Love, your Grandpa
Great song Kurt. I might have written it if I had some talent. We were alone when we came into the world and we are alone when we leave. How interesting are the dreams we have. How interesting and complicated are the secret thoughts we have. How often do we share our dreams and secret thoughts with others? It is difficult and often impossible for us to understand our dreams and thoughts, how could we ever communicate them to others. Even those we love most in the world. We dream every night and our minds are never blank. I tried to teach all of you to be able to communicate silently. Just recently, I taught Conor to communicate silently.It is amazing how fertile his young brain is. I think that we can communicate our thoughts over great distances. Life is a complicated affair.
dad i dont like that poem. it makes me feel depressed. i woudnt want to live at all if i didnt have friends and people i loved
iN REGARDS TO YOUR GUESTBOOK ENTRY DAD. A winters day In a deep and dark december; I am alone, Gazing from my window to the streets below On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow. I am a rock, I am an island. Ive built walls, A fortress deep and mighty, That none may penetrate. I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain. Its laughter and its loving I disdain. I am a rock, I am an island. Dont talk of love, But Ive heard the words before; Its sleeping in my memory. I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, I am an island. I have my books And my poetry to protect me; I am shielded in my armor, Hiding in my room, safe within my womb. I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island. And a rock feels no pain; And an island never cries. LYRICS BY SIMON AND GARFUNKLE
Hey, all you guestbook readers, IMHO, we are all potential liars. WHAT DID YOU DO IN SCHOOL TODAY? How often have you heard that? If you have ever been a kid, you know the answer by heart. From the time we are children, we learned to hide the truth about ourselves. It must be an automatic reflex. Do you ever greet anyone by asking the question, HOW ARE YOU? Do you expect or want the truth? What if the person told you they felt like hell? What would you say to that? No, we tell others that we are OK. We don’t want anyone to pry into our inner most self more than we want to hear about others. That even goes for immediate members of our family. What do you know about the members of your family? Really? Why do we sublimate our inner most thoughts? My own personal reason is because some of my inner thoughts are incompatible with some of the members of my family. I am a radical. I am a very different individual in my views and I think much differently than others. Why rock the boat? Why get into an argument that will hurt others? Why talk about subjects where you already know the answer? What are you going to do? When you differ so radically from the ones you love, you end up in a fight. Don’t you know where most of your friends stand? Most of us don’t closely associate with those who are radically different from us. That is why when you have to sit with someone, you don’t pick one who you know is constantly disagreeing with you. There are some who constantly argue about any subject, and who needs that? They are usually tactless and it isn’t long till they are sitting by themselves. So, most of us fly solo through life. A few know us and we know a very few close friends, but mostly, we hide our inner most thoughts. We are like icebergs. Most of us are below the water. Keep it light and lively. What do you think?
Sounds like school days are here again. Where did the summer go. Christy we did not take time to go to lunch that we had talked about. Another time. Sorry Amber is still ill. Is it a bug of some sort? What day does school start? Nina and I are going to Houston the evening of the 22nd. We will return on the 26th. It will be good to see my sisters and who ever else is there. We have all new windows in our house now. We are enjoying the big window in the living room. That is where we hang out now. Have a good week.
Back to work I went today! What fun!!!!! Ambers sick and Hunters having fun
I just noticed on the Drudge report that the life expenctency in the US is now 77.9 years. Well, I guess Mama and I are on borrowed time. I never think about statistics like that. I will live till I die and I live for today. Tomorrow will take care of its' self.
Precious, precious. Every time I get out of sorts, I go back to the time before Actnuts and look at those good times. How young we all were. What great memories. Some day, people who are not yet born, may look at our pictures and wonder what we were like. Actnuts is a miracle. It is the history of our life. Kurt, you have created a masterpiece. In such a short time, how many have passed on. Some day, it will be our time to depart and then, we will join them on the other side.
Hey, you guestbook readers. If you are planning to be successful in life, be careful of what you say and do. Be careful of the pictures that are taken of you. If you leave a paper trail, i.e. the things you say in print, well just about anything you say verbally that someone else will remember years afterward, or the risky pictures that someone takes of you, it all can come back to haunt you. Well, you get the point. Now, if you plan to be extremely successful (whatever that means to society or to you) your chances are slim, unless you are beautiful, thin, personable, intelligent, talented, and, hang out with the right people, you don’t have much of a chance. The room at the top is so small and there are so many of those extremely talented people who have all the good points I just mentioned, you probably will have to be content to be just happy in life. (And, even that is not easy to accomplish). Most people are just common people. So, if you get stuck in a rut along the way, you may never get out of it. However, you can if you have a lot of the good things going for you. So, be careful of what you say and do. The talent hunters can and will go back to the beginning of your life and dig out anything that may destroy you. But if you don’t care about how high you go, do and say whatever you please and have a lot of fun doing it. If you don’t leave a trail behind you, you probably will be forgotten before you turn cold and black. Well, that is my advice from one who has been through it all in the past 77 years. Good luck!
Congratulations Amber. With leadership, comes responsibility. Start reading my words on leadership.
It is confirmed. Amber captain of her High School's swim team! Awesome!
Great mountain pictures. Hunter needs a motorcycle. Amber we enjoyed your swimming pictures. You are awesome. Love Grandpa
I love you photo Amber. I can't believe that this will be your senior year. Our little girl has grown up fast. It is great to be able to watch our grandchildren learn and grow up to be neat adults and to see and hear what all they do. We love you all and wish only the best for all of you. This will be a busy month for all of us so take care and enjoy it.
What a beautiful young woman. Amber, you are number one!
We are all hypocrites...the faults we see in others are usually our own.
Leadership is the absence of consensus. Listen to the opinions of others, then make your decision and supervise its' execution.
A good leader likes people and is positive that his team can accomplish any task, with good leadership and training, and by all means, the proper well maintained equipment.
When there is an event, the frist reports are almost always WRONG.
When a person is 77 years old, how many will be saying, they wish they had spent more time at the office? well, that is if they are still alive
