My OSU buckeyes are facing Wisconsin in the Horeshoe this week. Wisconsin has won the last 3 out of 4 here. Should be a good one. What are some other good matchups this week?

As I said in my post, no argument from me as for SEC being the top dog. With the new recruiting rules several years ago the competition is more equally divided in the Big 10 these days. It used to be called the" Big 2 and the rest of them". Not any more. Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State and others have been in the mix in recent seasons.

There must be some fans here that support teams other than BYU? I'm an alumni and fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Come good times or bad, I'm there. Not physically there. Even as an alumni I can't get even one of the 105,000 tickets sold for each home game. So, I have the BIG 10 network. They're usually on somewhere every week. I remember when the Big 10 was the conference. Things change. I would have to agree with anyone that thinks the SEC in dominant now. OSU is 4-1. Darn that pesky old USC. So, who are some of you out there cheering for? BTW, I also watch BYU and cheer for them as long as it's not in a bowl game against OSU.

Maya, Consider it done

I know how you feel. I really do. Years ago I was serving as Ward Mission Leader. I worked very hard to set up an Open House. Even had it announced in the newspaper. Noone other than current members showed up. You can only do your best. You can't earn anyone else's salvation, only your own. (Except for certain cases).

Then your screen picture must have been taken at night:)

I thought you were talking about real camels:) Why not? We live next door (1/4 mile) to a farm that has a bulk food business. I ride my horse there all the time. Walk? Why? She has four legs. I only have two.

Well, I don't walk around with a smile on my face all day, and I'm a little leery of those that do, but I'm not unhappy.

The places I listed were all easily accessible. They can all be reached by car. There are places I would love to visit outside of the US. I was planning a two week driving vacation to England, Scotland and Ireland, but my wife doesn't want to go. So, that may be out.

They say you know you're getting old when you began replacing regrets for dreams. I wonder if they applies to already being everywhere you ever wanted to go:):)

There was a thread recently asking where we have been. How about where are we going? There are plenty of places I want to go, but my top four, not in order of importance, are 1. The Laurel & Hardy Museum in Harlem, Georgia. Can't help myself. I think they are the funniest comedy duo of all time. 2. The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. Wanted to see it since I saw the Walt Disney movie "Davy Crockett" nearly fifty years ago. 3. The Redwood trees in northern California 4. The monument at Little Bighorn Montana. Someone with my last name was with old Custer that fateful day. Where are three or four places you'd like to visit before you turn your toes to the sky?

Some of you have been around. Other than military bases I've lived in Ohio all my life. Our last move brought me back to the county I started from. My dad lives with us. He started here also nearly 102 years ago. We have come full circle. I plan on finishing up here.

I had just arrived at work (school) and the janitor out front asked "What do you think of all that going on". I didn't know what he was talking about. Turned on the TV.

What's stopping you from doing all those things while you drive? Everyone else does.:):)

ABC has refused to run an ad opposing President Obamas healthcare plan. The reason. They don't run ads of a partisan nature. Isn't this the same ABC that ran a three hour block in June by the administration pushing the plan. It must be true. ABC stands for All Barack Channel (NBC initially turned down the ad also, but is now reconsidering).

Perhaps if you had watched more right wing talk shows you would have learned how to spell Y O U.

I don't know why anyone would care what Funkytown thinks of Reagan or any other President. He one of "them there foreigner's":):)

What bothers me more is the people that riled against you when you were alive have all these nice things to say about you when you die. That's the height of hypocrisy.

Teddy joins girlfriend I wonder if the spirits of Mary Jo Kopechne and the hundreds of thousands of unborn children he supported killing will shed any tears at his passing.

Yes, censorship is wonderful. I hear they were crazy about it in Nazi Germany and the former Soviet Union.

One day the old German Shepard starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers he is lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German Shepard thinks "Oh, oh, I'm in deep doo doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepard exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here"? Hearing this, the young panther halts in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepard almost had me". Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes, but the old German Shepard sees him heading after the panther with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther. The young panther is furious at being made a fool and says, "Here squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine". Now, the old German Shepard see the panther coming with the sqirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepard says... "Where's that squirrel? I sent him an hour ago to bring me another panther!"

Must have gotten her parent training from Micheal Jackson:)
