Patrick Swayze Redo.....

I care not what religion you subscribe to, or even if you have no religion. Patrick Swayze needs all the prayers and positive energy sent in his direction that you folks can put forth. NO! I DO NOT KNOW THE MAN. I CAN LOVE HIM, AND HIS FAMILY, WITHOUT EVER HAVING MET HIM! The man is no coward, but, his pain right now has to be intense. I know, I have been through cancer, it hurts. He needs comfort, as does his family. I hope he gets over this situtation. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM!

PEACE! PEACE! PEACE!

Rudeness is rudeness, regardless the intent....

Not long ago I got a page on facebook. Actually, several of my friends kept pestering me until I caved in and got one. I like my privacy, and facebook seemed okay. I also had a myspace page, I quit it after getting swarmed with folks. I still get quite a few hits on this blog every week, even though I post infrequently now. I am very busy lately. What prompted me to write on my blog tonite? Well, one of the things I have noticed on facebook ,is that celebrities allow someone to sign on as their "friend" and then the person allowed access, begins to push for personal information. If the celebrity wanted that information to be public, they would put it up for all to see. You also have the situation where someone other than the actual celebrity, poses as said celebrity, and begins making a mess. Usually, this is someone who wants others to see that they are friends with the celebrity listed, on their friends page, of their facebook account. Below is an aerial photograph of Garth Brooks' new home.



I can promise you, that if you sneak in on Garth and Trisha's ranch, and actually make contact with ol' Garth...he will personally kick your ass!

Long gone are the days I would sit in my secret hide-out and write on my first book. There was barely enough room in that tiny cubicle to get around the desk holding those two computers. Do I miss those days? NO! I had just been in a bad car wreck, and my friend Cliff Jones would come up as often as he could to check on me. Those days were very painful, physically.

So friends, because you are included on someone's facebook friends list, does not mean you are actually that person's friend. If you want to be a real friend to them, stop prying into their private life. Those of you who read this blog, and are my friends, have my personal email address, and can get a prompt reply from me, as well as my phone numbers. If you do not have that email address, we are just friendly, not close friends.

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!

In answer to some very personal questions....

I am trying as hard as I can to keep this blog kid friendly. Recently, very recently, I received some very disturbing emails pertaining to what age a girl should begin having sexual intercourse. The girl who sent the letter to me states that she is thirteen years of age. Other kids have sent me emails asking advice on different subjects. Most have to do with dating, sex, and things teenagers worry about. On this posting, I am going to address some serious questions sent to me.

First of all, I give out a bit of personal information on my facebook page. You have to be an accepted friend to get to that information. Am I trying to hide things from the public? No, I just value my privacy, plus, I have a few celebrity friends on there, and we use facebook as a means for us to communicate without the world knowing. Emails can and do get intercepted. The reason I include this tidbit of information is to emphasize that I do value my privacy, and as well the privacy of my friends.

Maria (not her real name) you need to understand something, at the age of thirteen, you are far too young to even consider havin an active sex life. You are still a child. You do not need to be texting explicit photos of yourself to anyone. Child, there should not even be photos of you without clothing on. Am I old fashioned? No, I keep up with modern things. Am I old? That is a matter of opinion, but, I will state that I am old enough to be your mother's father, and possibly, her grandfather. You asked my advice and so I am going to give it to you. From my heart to yours.

The first thing I want you to understand is that your body is yours, not your boyfriend's and it is certainly not a toy. When someone, and I mean anyone, touches you on your private parts, or touches you in an inappropriate manner, you need to tell someone in authority. My suggestion is to go to your favorite teacher at school, and let them know everything that took place. Do not make up things that did not happen, but by the same token, be honest when you tell what happened.

I do not care what your friends tell you, you are too young to be going out on dates at the age of thirteen. A more appropriate age to begin dating is sixteen, and then, whomever you go on the date with should keep their hands unto themselves. There are so many sexually transmitted diseases circulating around in our society, that to be active sexually is a good way to die young, and in pain. I will not try to preach my morals to you, or the other kids who email me. However, I will tell you all one big thing to remember....you are children, not adults. Enjoy being a kid for as long as you can, you have the rest of your life to be an adult. I will answer the rest of the inquiries by email. Be warned though, I do keep copies, and if there is something I feel is close to being illegal, I do report it to the appropriate authorities.


PLEASE, LET'S HAVE SOME PEACE!!!

Dry as a bone.....

It is dry in the Arbuckles. Actually, all of Murray County, Oklahoma is dry. Actually, all of Southern Oklahoma is dry.....



It does not matter how dry it gets, if there is any way at all to make mudpies, my grandkidz will figure it out....

This is my favorite fishing creek, Rock Creek. Usually, you can thow a line out, and within five minutes you have one of the largest Sun Perches you have ever seen. Yes, even though they are bony, I cook 'em up and eat 'em anyway. There is usually Catfish, Crappie, Sand Bass, Large Mouth Bass, and Alligator Gar in the creek too. I do catch and eat all the above. The one thing thwarting that past-time is the fact that where all that monkey grass is in the creek, it is usually under a nice flowing stream...

It has been burning here in our mountains....I thought about hanging a ham out to smoke in the open air.....

Three days later, the smoke was still there.....

Maybe if I go hide out in the studio, everyone will think I died and they will just leave me alone....or....I could just not shower for a few weeks and wear the same clothes.....

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!
