      I wish you would'nt use this as your FB page. Not everyone enjoys your "whacky" comments everyday. I miss KU_law, at least he kept it short.

      1. RoeDapple (anonymous) replies

        I miss you too fluxy, it's been a while! If you want we could be facebook friends . . . I'm as boring there as I am whacky here.

      2. RoeDapple (anonymous) replies

        "wouldn't" not would'nt. iliterate hater's. I seam to attrak them.

      3. rockchalker52 (anonymous) replies

        Everybody knows it's 'wacky', not 'whacky.' Could be 'wakky', I guess, but never with the 'h' unless you're really talking about whackin' somebody. Capish?
        Now, people sometimes refer to the river south of town as the 'Wakkie' but pronounce it 'Walkie'. These things are always in flux, I suppose.

          i thinkeded it wuz "wawkee" . . .

    2. rantor (anonymous) replies

      Flux makes a good point. You could put pictures of all your hobbies, show your friends, play farmville. You'd be entertained for hours on end. Facebook has messaging. You can talk to your friends, stalk your enemies. It really would be a better fit for type of connecting.

      1. RoeDapple (anonymous) replies

        Oh good! My peeps are in town, must be a convention! Glad to see you too rantor! Stalk? Not me but I do have one. It's okay though, when the haters are following me they aren't bothering those who let it get to them.

        Let's see, who does that leave . . . ?

    Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.

      Wooderson, is that you?
      Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place...

  4. RoeDapple (anonymous) says…

    The first job I ever had was assembling bicycles. When I got caught up I was told to grab a broom and clean up. The job I retired from was as a driver for a major LTL freight company. If business was slow I was told to grab a broom and clean up.

    Guess you could say I was swept away with my work . . .

    1. LadyJ (anonymous) replies

      Not that putting in a new kitchen floor isn't fun. I think Roe would agree with me, it's a great feeling, and very satisfying, to stand and look at something you have created.

    I would like to be a translator for Ozzy but I don't think that will happen so I will take my desire to work for the devil and become an IRS auditor

    Maybe a photographer for Playboy. Get to see of them ladies come and go and get paid a fair amount of money to make them look better.

    I think I will stick with still being Hollis's (Rara's) guitar tech, pay ain't great but the drugs are

  44. RoeDapple (anonymous) says…

    At age 10 I began dreaming of being a truck driver. At 16 I got my first driving job on the hayfields around Baldwin. At 53 I retired from 37 years of nearly continuous driving jobs. Some good days and some bad but wouldn't trade a minute of it for anything else. As I have told others, I could have dreamed higher but not better. Few can say the same.

  45. Andini (anonymous) says…

    30's - Top ranked Kirby vac salesperson, SW region
    40's - Proprietor, Bikram Yoga & Pole Dance Academy
    50's - Sugar Mama recipient
    60's - Non-incarcerated retirement
