    Default Memphis Mike

    I know he's banned but does anybody else miss him?
    Well, not so much Him but what he brought with him...
    like Sue and her art...like Portia and her twin boys.
    About the time I fell in love with them, the whole danged family disappeared.
    It just ain't right!
    Sue is not banned...maybe she will show up here and catch us up on the news and latest pics?
    Best wishes, Mike!

    I think he left on purpose... I talked to him on the phone about a year ago and got the impression that he would rather be let alone for a while
    The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
    Personal failures are too important to be trusted to others.

    Facebook. Fewer stupid pinups from Mike, too. He even posted some very out-of-focus photos of the twins meeting their father for the first time the other day.

    Quite honestly, Facebook is a far friendlier place than this. I don't meet so many ungenerous and narrow-minded people there as I do here.

    Bobbys really loves to jump to conclusions.

    I talked to MMike back around Christmas time. He's doing fine. I think he said he was getting his college credits bulked up so he could get his degree finally.

    I don't know about you Bobby but my facebook is filled with people I like, ya know "friends"
    My facebook friends include some notable formites some that you presume and jump to conclusion like Norman & elf ( Emily ) and others you might not like Brian W, Paul Pless and Laurence P. Pretty much a cross section of the political spectrum , but I rarely post political crap on my FB. Sad to say I don't think I would "friend" you Bobby

    Re: RIP Lucky thar Dog (1998-2012)

    Sorry to hear of this Joe, Nice you buried him under a tree, Biggest regret was when Our Lab died was sending him off to the Dog Crematorium..

    Next biggest mistake was I shouda done it rather then my son, Course it was his first dog and he wanted to but the first needle was not enough and it took 2 while he held "Buddy".

    Shouda did what you did.

    Somehow a thread about MMike has become a thread about Joe and Bobbys' secret mutual admiration and support club..... Nice!

    Re: Mad Men Season Premire

    Fun pics Joe thanks for the effort, I like your style..

    I never saw the show but watched celebrity Apprentice instead, I suppose you did not want to impersonate the Donald! .

    But be that as it may thats not the Point here, All im saying is of course Face book is more friendly, How can you judge Face book vs here?.

    As far as being your friend on facebook Although i actually like you , You have shown a diabolical side by posting Marks Face book page and another s personal pictures..

    You had no right to do that if not given permission.

    Bobbys you've always been the arbiter of standards. You have always been easily offended and the first to jump to Sara P defense and anyone who you feel crosses your high bar.

    Are you even a sailor ? You seem way too sensitive to be around salt.

    FYI Marks Facebook was PUBLIC he's since did what he should have and made it PRIVATE if it was private at the time and even if I was his friend I would NEVER have posted it.

    I enjoyed MMike during the time of Meerkat but in the last few years he really went ape sh*t anti-semitic which was too weird. Sue is cute.

    I haven't forgotten that either.

    I'm not that easily offended except when someone rips on a part of what I (or anybody else) is about which nothing can be done. Even having people make exceptions for me to a general rule doesn't make me feel any better. Sort of makes it worse, actually. It was a shame because I liked him too. Ruined it for me.

    Let's not forget, while we're condemning someone for their prejudices, that we all have them in one form or another. Some of us are better at internalizing them than others most of the time.
    Mike and Sue extended a helping hand and opened their house and hearts to complete strangers in need, in the "wake of Katrina", and to me actions like that speak more loudly than words typed in frustration, and perhaps anger, on an internet forum.
    I don't condone a lot of Mike's actions, but I do praise some of his actions...

    I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way, It was intended to show Joe
    what a cruel remark he directed @ you.

    I have no quarrel with you.

    The good part was adequately covered for two pages. It was plenty fair to raise the ugly part.
