No, not too bad at all! The boy has a future in theatrical arts, should he choose to pursue it. His Joker rendition is great!

I think if someone is ademently pro-life they should be able to refuse a jog in the abortion field, or vegetarian should be able to reject a job serviing or selling meat. These are just a couple of examples I’m sure there are many more.

I’ve had this song going through my head all day, too! I can really get behind this message!

Comment on In Loving Memory of Papaw by Lottie

Hello, Aunt Dot!

First I’d like to offer my sincere condolences. I have only fond memories of your father, my Papaw, and deeply regret not having been more closely in touch all these years.

Thank you for the information about my great-grandmother. That would be Grandma Pat, wouldn’t it? There are certainly some interesting coincidences here. If I remember correctly, your oldest son’s birthday is also August 4th (I do know his name, but I’ll leave publishing it to your discretion).

I try to be discrete here on my blog for reasons I’d be happy to email you, if I may (don’t worry, your email address is only visible to me) but I’m sure the following clues will leave no doubt in your mind: I’ll turn 43 next month and I was raised in a Texas border town. My little sister was Julie Lyn.

It’s very nice to hear from you, Aunt Dot! Thank you so much for commenting here.

Hello Lottie and I am sorry you only learned of Papaw’s death after the fact. You may be interested to know that your posting date of August 4th was the birthday of your Papaw’s mother who would be your great grandmother who died in 1977 and coincidentally on the same day in June as he did in 2009. Your Papaw was my Daddy so I am trying to figure out which one of my nieces you are.

I have a friend who is a Professional Counselor and when on unemployment the person did not apply for jobs not in the same field – - and when the person DID talk to a potential employer, it was with the understanding that no application would take place unless certain things were already established. This was because if the person had applied for a job, been accepted for the job and not been able to take it (for whatever reason), this person would have lost their unemployment.

There are many other jobs that fit this sort of criteria – - like an atheist may not want to work at a church. Or an animal rights activist may not want to work at a meat packing plant. That sort of thing.

However, I also know LOTS of people who would use questionable reasons for not taking a job…..just ’cause they don’t want to work (or whatever). There would need to be some guidelines. In most states, people only need to apply at a certain number of jobs per week – - they don’t specify what those jobs are…which provides the applicant the opportunity to choose which jobs they feel morally agreeable to.

Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve been out of the loop for a while. Sorry I haven’t been by yours. I’m having an allergy attack and getting ready to hit the sack, so I’ll check out your series tomorrow.

Hope all is well with you and Becky!
