Re: Jan - -phone call with Courage OT/Sandie

[Guest guest]

LOL, I can only imagine poor having to explain his New Zealand Accent

daily in Iowa. He must have some kind of come back by now like; it's not his New

Zealand accent, but the Iowan accent that he is picking up. Heeee, heeeeee.

Gotcha!

I can bring the Lemon Drops, that is if I don't drink it all with all this

celebration of coming to the U.S. You know for everytime there is

Lemonade made out of Lemons, I have a drink to you all with Lemon Drops! " When

life passes out Lemons, make Lemonade out of it " I have had a lot of celebrating

the past few weeks reading about this gathering in 2008.//

Hi Jan-

This is a nice surprise. Accent...want an accent...I live with an accent daily.

Oh, and it's NOT me. It seems has to explain, daily, why he is in Iowa

from New Zealand.

And now Jan, you bring us back to drinking. Get ready for the 2008 Gathering. We

will need plenty of Lemon Drops to get Courage and in trains, planes, and

automobiles.

Hugs to you-

phone call with Courage OT

Hi All-

I had the honor and thrill of talking with Courage last evening. The call was

truly a joy for me. We spoke years ago so it had been a while. She is witty,

intelligent, and warm hearted. We talked about LBD, life in general, and the

upcoming gathering. I told her I just filled the truck with gas and it was clean

in case I needed to make an emergency trip to Canada. We talked more in length

about the gathering and how she " will " be here or we " will " be there. Even

mentioned passports and how some are checking into getting one...seems Courage

needs to have hers updated - get on it Courage!

Thank you Courage for taking time out to talk with me. I have replayed our

conversation over and over in my mind...it was so great hearing your voice

again. Thank you for the laughter and for confirming once again the kindred

spirit we share.

Many hugs-

Sandie

Jan-

Made me laugh out loud. Some people have asked if is Bosnian, Russian,

and even from the South...hahahahahaha. Atleast those who ask if he is English

or Australian have some type of a clue. He usually tells people he " met and

married a local woman " and their response is... " that'll do it every time. " He

is a kind soul and uses respect when answering. I, on the other hand, would

have fun with it all. I suggested that when asked if he is from, say, England,

just answer... " no " . Leave it at that. Or if asked where he is from say,

" Iowa " ...hehehe. I am sure Donna and Peggy remembers 's accent. He has

a lovely accent that I love listening to. As for an Iowa accent...c'mon...it is

and Courage with the accents...really, truly...rally it is!

So, Jan, does this mean you will be attending the 2008 Gathering? Bringing the

Lemon Drops. Please, we will need all the alcohol/liquor we can get for

Courage. By then, will be detoxing and staying at my place. I think

stuffing the bed of the truck with alcohol and drugs might be a problem crossing

the Canadian border but I do think we will make it. Have a heist to complete

and what a better way than in a truck with a Scot, New Zealander, American, 2

English, and tons of alcohol. Forsee any problems?

I have enjoyed corresponding with you Jan. Please say you will be joining us.

I will start the impromptu surveys/emails the beginning of the year.

Many hugs Jan-

Sandie, good thing is that they have Lemon Drops in Canada also, so we can buy

the stuff there and don't have to worry about sneaking across the border with

it. Really, I will be surprised too if I show up. I can never make any plans

with Jim. I will see what he is like when the time comes and if he seems in a

good place healthwise. Then maybe, just maybe I will show up. I may not know

until a few weeks before the actual event. I was on hold for my notorious trip

to Texas too, I just didn't know if I was going until the time was upon me. My

poor cousin had another friend riding with us, so if I didn't make it she knew

she had someone to travel back to Texas with. You can't depend on me. I surprise

myself when I show up. My life is on hold with Jim.

Hi All,

I think that along with the ativan and booze we may need to bring some provigil

or seroquel for me. I decided to have some soup this afternoon that comes

pre-packaged and when I took the lid off the pot after boiling the soup for the

recommended time I noticed that I had thrown the contents in the garbage and

boiled the packaging instead........and it was mmmmm....mmmmm good! I

swear I have not had a drop to drink!

I swear, some days there is no hope for me!
