Well, looks like I've been fooled. (http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii137/zzzz52_2008/HUMOR/thughhhh.gif) Good one Oliver!  (http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii137/zzzz52_2008/HUMOR/tt2.gif)

That's strange...She's never mentioned that to me in any of our recent email exchanges....Hmmm....

For the record, I have reread through all of my V.V. posts and have deleted or edited any remarks (including the 1,982 word quote used against me) towards "Winston" that could be construed as offensive, uncalled-for, mean, rude, etc; I may have missed some and that would be an oversight, not intentional.

As for the purpose of this extreme make-over "edit", I wanted to let it be known I am trying to allay the situation that burst forth a few days ago. That any anon poster is a human being with feelings, I am quite aware,  but please keep in mind I feelings too, and I think mine count as much as someone who is nameless, faceless--since no one knows who they are, and it is well-known (or too well-known if that's how you feel) who I am.

What's all this then?  ... NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

And was I expecting THAT!? 
Bravo and thank you, Oliver -- I really appreciate it.   No need on my part now either for such an overlong rancorous outburst to remain, so ... up and away ...   
(Ah, if only ALL mean words and discord could evaporate so easily in this world!)
(I leave the Inquisitors, game and Colonel though, as they're silly.)
Here, enjoy:

Hi there...I see there's been some activity lately, so yeah...that's great! Wish we could have some real conversations about stuff that really matters. I'm starting to feel like there's only a small handful of folks who really know what's going on with our government and the whole banking thing and all the bs with Israel slaughtering Palestinians (mostly women and children) and the lame-stream media reporting it like it was the Pals that started it...of course they didn't. Ugh! Don't get me started! Yep...Something big has to happen soon to stop the madness...it really does people.

Anyhow.....sorry for being off topic. I would love to have Winston back anytime. And Oliver, I really don't think "Winston" is who you think she is...indeed, she has pretty much had to come here to defend herself. I really don't believe she is a poster from the old days. Geez...it's really no ones business who she is...she's certainly done nothing wrong on this forum that I ever recall.  Maybe it's time to let it go? Just my $ .02...see ya!  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii137/zzzz52_2008/balloons.gif)

My apologies, L, I obviously respect you or I'd've revealed who you are over these years. Bye.

Oliver, it's those kinds of statements and attitude that reveal far more about yourself, and suggest sadly you have little idea what either respect or apology  means.   So, yes, you sure do have me going...  Ciao.

Thanks, DV, I certainly agree with the need instead to have "real conversations about stuff that really matters."  Petty personal affronts do not, and indeed "it's time to let [them] go."   Up and away!

No one should take any of these forums too seriously.  Sometimes folks are too passionate about their feelings and it causes folks to post things that they would not other wise say.  As for me, I'm sure not blameless, but have learned to temper my expressions and believe that I've become a better person for it.
And now as DJ suggests, lets discuss some of the important issues of the day and do it in a respectful way.  I will try my best to do just that.  It's time to start anew.

Well said Terry! And by the way, it's nice that you've stuck around all this time.  ;)

Yes! There is so much going on out there in the world that people have no idea about. With the exception of you guys...the masses have been completely brainwashed and uninformed by the establishment media. Jezus...they have Universities dedicated to manipulating the human mind in every way imaginable.  It's scary to know that thousands of **** scientists came over here after WWII and became involved in our military-industrial complex and these people have an ideology that's been followed and they have been doing very, very bad things. Seriously they've got to be stopped. I don't care about what's on TV...I care about the people of the planet. <Sigh>...So much going on in the world...so much to talk about! I shall try harder!


Oh good lord...I can't believe n-a-z-i is a censored word now....so stupid.

I did not know that his middle name was Winston!

You are missed John Lennon...rest in peace.

Sorta.  (Middle-aged, and old too though.) 
Good then we're eventually recycled ... maybe some really swell music will come 'round again from all the greats "out there" ... 
Or at least one can only hope for better harmony ... on all levels.

I'd venture to say that John Lennon's music and persona will outlast even the great Elvis.  Elvis wasn't, after all, on the president's hit list.  He even got some kind of presidential medal or reward from Nixon for his anti-drug message, shortly before he OD'd.  Life's funny that way.

"Well bless my soul / What's wrong with me? / I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree / ..."

I knew Elvis was anti-Beatle, but it escaped me that he asked to be a soldier in the War on Drugs (apparently he was high on prescription pills while in the White House) and even presented a Colt .45 (gun, not malt liquor) to Tricky Richard.  Thanks for sharing, buzorro.   

Other interesting bits about Elvis (e.g., his first paid gig was third billing to Slim Whitman?!):
