Yeah. My son passed his typing test. I wish I typed as well. I found the class so boring I never went to it. It is the only class I have ever failed. It was so freaking boring. I never saw the point to it and typing one or two letters on the homeboard for 50 minutes just wasn't my cup of tea. I was so wrong about not needing to know how. Couldn't have been more wrong about that one. Then again aren't we all at one time or another.

 I worked at a very expensive department store called I.Magnin when I was going through college. I have met some famous people.
  David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen. Picked out of a large crowd and asked if I would do something inappropriate do see David Lee. I told them no way so the 14 that said no were allowed to attend the after show party. The 100 others that said yes were turned down flat. They booted me from it when they found out I was 17 at the time but two thumbs up for them not taking advantage of the situation.
    Steven Tyler from Areosmith. I waited on him and he can shop. I met  him again at a book promo. Great man and can still jump from speaker to speaker.
     Bryant Adams because I dated his cousin. Hubba Hubba
    President Regan and his wife. They cleared the store and I got to wait on them. Very honored indeed.
  Paul McCartney as he opened his window, turned on his lights and waved at me and my four girlfriends right after a concert.
  Alice Cooper as he lives close. I went to one of his private parties. Wonderful rocker who does only great things for his home state.
   Billy Bob Thorton as he rolled down his window of his awesome car. He wanted to get trhough the traffic. Rolling down his windo he drove right infront of my car to cut through. Wicked.
   Randy "Macho Man" Savage a professional wrestler. I waited on him in the stor. I didn't know who he was at the time. I just found it odd he would come into our store with a shirt which read "Macho Man". Others had to tell me who he was. Scarely looking really.
   Thunder Dan Marley pro basket ball player. I see him at least twice a week. Great man and always signs his stuff for me. Lovely man indeed.
   Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane. Really time wasn't good for her. Aged well before her time.
   Axel Rose from Guns and Roses. He was playing at a small state fair. I sat on the grass right up front. Loved the band and he became quite sussessful years later.
     Not bad for somebody that doesn't live in Hollywood.


  

 My sister and I decided to have a yard sale to clear some unwanted stuff. We had a stuffed animal that was brand new and we were asking $2.00  for  it. A child of course wanted it but the father said "no" picked up his son and held him up over his shoulder. While he was walking away my sister picked up the stuffed animal and began waving it around while the father was completely oblivious.  The child through a complete tantrum and he had to come back to buy the $2.00 item.That was so mean...really.Mean and wickedly funny too. lol

 Summertime is more like an oven bake in my state. One of those sizzling days that you actually could cook an egg on the sidewalk. My sister and I had enough money for one large soda at the local 7/11 convience store. My sister was holding the soda as I was watching her gulp it down. I wanted some very badly and she knew it. I asked her for the glass. In her usual impish way she proceeded to lick the entire rim of the plastic glass and gave it to me saying "here you go". Eeeewwww. I'd rather have parched myself which I did end up doing thanks to her. Siblings? Crazy relationship isn't it?

 My sister and I were 14 and 12 when my parents took us to Las Vegas. We were staying at the Stardust hotel at the time. My younger  sister asked me to take a look at the top of the hotel which looked like it had a swimming pool with beautiful tropical trees. Very tempting indeed. We decided to check it out and hit the elevator door to the Penthouse suites. The door was open, but another door with a big Do Not Enter sign was on it. It was the only one that could lead to the very top so of course we entered it. Then there was another small stairway which led to another closed door which again read Do Not Enter. Too tempting not to so we entered it as well. We found ourselves right behind the large light up sign for The Star Dust Hotel. The letters looked like large pop out letters with lights below. We could see the cars whizzing by. It sure didn't take long for security to find us either. They led us down in handcuffs because they didn't believe I was 14. The police had been called by then and ready to take us away. Great...our parents were gonna see us in jail. We told them we were staying at the hotel. They decided to let us go when we told them our exact birthdays. The warned us if they ever saw us in the casino area again...even the restaurants we would be jailed. It was so hard to convince our parents to not eat at the casinos's restaurants. We came up with every excuse in the book to not enter into any of the restaurants. So many times we had to try and manuver them away from the hotel we were staying at. That  was  an especially hard thing to do when we were  staying at the hotel. I don't know how we managed it but they never found out until we were adults about our curious adventure. A great memory that always makes me smile.

    You have been nothing but a good friend. I have always appreciated you more than you know. I'm not a stalker and only wish good things in your life because you deserve only the best. The friends invitation is up to you not me. I can't send you one now.LV doesn't let me send you one.  Just know that why we have different outlooks on life I still care about you and would enjoy being your friend. You do have a golden heart and I know that. You were one of the first people I met on LV. I don't want you to feel that I am harming you in anyway nor do I want you to think I've sent you too many emails. I have in the past but won't anymore because I don't want you to feel badly about them. As you know I have been having difficulties in my own life and I don't want to bring people down because of them. Thank you for giving me your time. for that I will always be grateful.

  My first welcome to LV was just about two months ago. I had never chatted to anyone before so the first room I visited was called The Chat House. I was only typing and my warm welcome was from Twenty-Twelve. He took a look at my name and in a an impressive voice of a man that doesn't love women asked... "are you here to spread sparkles to everyone?" Then again in the same voice "Do you feel sparkly today?" I was laughing so hard. Then a few days later I got a microphone. He could tell that he  was talking to a lady which I had  always been typing. His voice immediately went back to his normal, fun-loving voice. The one that adores women yet is still single. Why... I don't know because he is certainly  a keeper. The look on his face was priceless when he heard my voice. He is going to make some lucky lady a fine husband. Thank you Twenty for that fond memory. It makes me laugh whenever I think of it. Kisses Twenty and thank you for just being you.Single young ladies between 19 and 29 who appreciate an English accent, an honest man, one  treats women with respect, is smart and attractive you can find him under the names RoyStoner and VonStruve.

 My sister and I found ourselves  in an automated cafe. A huge number of machines offered a variety of hot drinks, sodas and food. Many people chatted at small tables. We targeted the popcorn machine and lingered over the choices such as carmel, extra butter or cheese topping. The carmel one was tantalizing as it popped fresh into a cup. I pushed the sliding doors open to retrieve the treat. My sister stood waiting to plunk her change into the machine. A red message came over the electronic banner. "Adding Carmel Now"... as it proceded to drip on to the hot burner sending sweet smoke billowing from the machine.Her face blushed and she howled with laughter .. the kind you just can't stop no matter how hard you try. Everyone else was staring at us and the smell of burnt carmel filled the room. We couldn't find the exit fast enough. Giggling, laughing, running and trailing popcorn pieces out the door.
