Hiya deadstring,

SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry! Technology has left me with 8 traks.
Try this one.

This fits me to a T except I have never had my own business.
I thought about  the 30 year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a Blackberry  that played music, took videos, pictures and communicated with Facebook and  Twitter.


I signed up  under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13  grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern  way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140  characters of space.


That was before  one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon,  Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every  message to my cell phone and every other  program within the texting  world.


My phone was  beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel  movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I  keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.


The kids bought  me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then  going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my  tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I  drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking  to my wife as everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. Seems I  have to take my hearing aid out to use it and I got a little  loud.


I mean the GPS  looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most  annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she  would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-ul-ating" You would think that she could  be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a  deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then when I  would make a right turn instead, it was not good.


When I get  really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets  and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady,  at least she loves me.


To be perfectly  frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our  house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I  can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair  cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone  rings.


The world is  just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the  grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but  this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a  loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused  but I never remember to take them in with me.


Now I toss it  back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't  matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a  blank look.


I was recently  asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot."

Funny stuff!
Travis Tritt had a line in his song that went
" I spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e"
A little girl was singing it as "I spilled Tea all over you and me".

Believe it or not,to break the ice, this was the first song I sang for them at Christmas. I understand the humor in the above posts and Lord knows I have a sense of humor but I guess the reason I care about these men is that if it were not for the Grace of God I would probably be one of them.Enjoy.

Sorry for misleading you folks but I had to beg out of my plan. While showering my wife turned wrong and something popped in the back of her knee. She can't put much pressure on it and after church I had to run down a walker for her to use. She doesn't think anything is broken. She wouldn't go to the emergency room so we will see what tomorrow brings.

I am going to take a guitar and go spend some time inflicting my noise on the prisoners tomorrow. They (the ones who wanted to participate) enjoyed it at Christmas. I was received well and blessed. If they don't let me out you'll know it didn't go well.

I am having a problem with Chrome!
For an example, I was answering Russell's post on scam artists. I typed up an experience I had and went to the BBCode page to change the color of a sentence. When I tried to get back to my post there was no working arrow to bring me back. I couldn't find out how to get back and lost the whole post. Any ideas?

Also the spell check I used to use isn't working. I may just have to down load it again.

I real bummer!
I know it wouldn't be the same but what about playing in an open chord tuning perhaps using a slide? That would beat nothing and do away with the thought of selling.

I recently saw a picture somewhere of a boat that the wife wanted named after her. He named it "UGLY ANNE".

Hey Deadstring, very nice, very soothing and very nice cabin. I'm a rustic kinda guy.        Mike

Thanks Mike.

The cabin is on a farm north of Bossier City, La. It belongs to a man I met before I retired. My part time job allows me to see many sun rises and sun sets and one morning I had my camera in my shirt pocket to capture  the sunrise. I had to drop off a couple of men to the farm and I took a couple of shots of the  cabin. I need to check back and find out the story behind it.

You have a mellow voice which is soothing and compliments the songs you sung.

Blessing to you.

Thank you Kenny. I have no original material to do  but I like the old Hymns a lot anyway. I do a decent job on a song written in 1933 by Red Foley and Arthur Willis called "Old Shep" but I don't know if I need permission to post it.
