@FISH , wasn't talking about anything important. Just about HW and her latest disappearing act. It's amazing to me that there are people who continue to give her money even when she doesn't do a show.
How cool that you got to meet Grant Wilson. He was always my favorite out of TAPS. I was sad when he left the show. He seems like such an interesting guy. Multifaceted. I like his artwork and some of his music, too.
Wow, @wr250 , that would be a really low voice! I was just listening to Can't Get Enough of Your Love the other day.
@DynamoHum , thank you! And Grant Wilson as a guest would be pretty awesome, I think!
@MataHari22 --A few years ago, I was working with a young physician’s assistance in a huge teaching hospital on the East Coast. Since I am telling you a story, I am going to call this woman, Kate. Kate had served in the military with two tours in Iraq. Kate grew up in Fargo. Kate had an amazing Bull Shit detector. I swore that she must have grown up in a big city since she could spot a con artist a mile away. On first meeting, one would believe that Kate was naive due to her good manners and her Minnesota accent. Kate was no fool. Kate had strong mojo. Kate explained to me that in Fargo, everyone has good manners. One had to sharpen their bull shit radar, since criminals and noncriminal acted the same on first appearances. Versus, the big city, most criminals have “bad manners†at the get go.
Kate drove down to Florida for a work related conference. While in Florida, Kate was in a horrible car accident that involved another car. The driver in the other car died from the impact of the accident. Kate was admitted to a trauma unit. Kate was alone in the state of Florida. Her parents were in Fargo. Her friends and I were over 1,000 miles away. Due to Kate’s injuries, she could not talk on the phone. I would write to Kate and her parents. It took some time, but Kate was able to write back to me. It was obvious that Kate lost her mojo. I did not know what to say to her. How do I help Kate? I started to send her silly T shirts, candy and Rocky Balboa quotes. Kate had never seen a “ROCKY†or the "FARGO" movie
Years later, Kate got her mojo back. She fell in love and got married. Kate is NOT the type to get a tattoo. However, right before Kate marries, she has these words tattooed on herself --
it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.Kate explained to me that Rocky quotes inspired her not to give up. Kate had to learn how to do everything again.
Do I think the Rocky Balboa quotes cured Kate? NO! I believe that something inside Kate did not give up. At this time, Kate has moved to another state. She is the mother of two boys. I still write to Kate and her mother. Her mother has invited me to see Fargo
.
So, as you hold on and try to handle your medical issues, listen to the people around you that want the best for you. Keep your mojo strong.
PS/ I am going to write to you about Grant Wilson. Despite
@GravitySucks warning. And some of HW fans have no common sense.
