Was just talking to Monty and Ddogmma on teamspeak. It is pretty cool to actually talk and have my slow old typing and not be able to hear back right away. Works great.

In gym class we wore one of them thongs with 2 strings instead of one and they called it a Chinese nose guard.

First, I dont think of Don as the boss, he just happens to be the guy who started this site and keeps it running and civil. More like a friend or maybe even a father figure.. Second I do not give because I have to, I give because I want to. My check for the fee and more will be in the mail tomorrow. Third several people have bought other kinds of bikes lately such as myself, Eck and Snarley Bill and still stay because of the friendships made. It was the Ventures that brought us here but the friends that keep us here. Fourth, everyone has the right to give thier opinion and even the ones that are thought to be bad bring ideas to the table, good or bad. Fifth, I think ECK had some great ideas about m&es and if you dont think ECK means it about the offer to pay for someone else, he offered to rent me storage for 6 months after Huricane Gustav when my house was damaged. And last but not least, Don I pray that you have a full recovery and are able to lead the type of life that you wish for in the future. Lyle

Boomer, chili ain't a CAJUN food, thats why it causes us to have brain farts. If you need some salve for getting chapped try Boudreaus Butt Paste. The best thing in the world for baby rash and hind ends that get raw. It was invented in CAJUN country.

Lewis instead of WECK it should be GWECK for gold wing.

I have not had a ticket since I became a cop, not that I haven't been stopped. I also never gave a ticket and a lecture. I usually offered most young people the choice. The others I would ask if they knew why I stopped them and if the said they did not, then I gave them one. If they said yeah I was speeding or whatever it was I stopped them for, then I would let them go.

Pete, when I was a very young child my Grandfather had a stroke and never recovered from it. His mind was affected and he was permanately paralyzed. He lived several more years in this state. When I was in high school my Father had a stroke and was paralyzed for about a week. He had to exercise his hand and practice writing. He had to practice his speech as well as he sounded drunk when he was tired. He was able to totally rehabilitate himself, but he had to work at it for a while. He lived about 30 more years. Five and a half years ago my older Brother had a stroke and went into a coma a couple of days later and then died a week and a half later. He was 54. My brother only had one major vein that went completely to his brain so when a blood clot formed there he had no other blood flow to his brain. You should have 4 veins. The doctor said that I should not have my checked because even if they found I had only one, that there is no way to repair it. He was a retired police office and my best friend. As you can see everyone is different as are all of the results. Good luck to you

My trike is a goldwing and on there site many people use a rear tire turned backwards. One guy said he got 25 thousand miles on it as opposed to 10 on a regular front tire. Lyle

If you are a war vet and got a purple heart you get all free. If you are a Viet Nam vet and have diabetes you get disability even if you have nothing else wrong. When I applied for benefits my service rep reccomended that I use the American Legion as my rep as they are very active and have the largest base of members. I am 100% and it makes a diference. I still keep private insurance because if I have an emergency or if I am traveling I may end up in a private hospital or doctors and have to pay myself. If there was a hospital in my town I would drop it, but for an emergency I would have to travel a long way. If you cant get the answer you want call the VA office in Washington. It is listed on there website. Lyle

I know that crime is bad there, however I live about 65 miles from there and have never had any kind of problem there. I have been to Mardi Gras parades many times and to the superdome for games and just to go eat or goof off and never a problem. I'm not saying it isnt dangerous because I read about it in the papers but I haven't seen it. I do carry a gun when I go, I think people should be careful and alert whereever they are and not be scared, just as I advised people when we had 2 serial killers here a few years back. I think we have another one here now that is killing prostitutes and there is one in Jefferson Davis Parish doing the same thing. Just dont write New Orleans off when crime is rampant in many cities country wide.

Lyle '83 Orange Bowl ring reunited with owner Posted: Feb 26, 2009 02:45 PM CST Updated: Feb 26, 2009 07:12 PM CST http://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/video/gfx/icon_video.gif'83 Orange Bowl ring reunited with owner, Hannah Horne reportshttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/pxl_trans.gif http://wistv.images.worldnow.com/images/9912507_BG1.jpghttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/pxl_trans.gifhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/c_al_tl.gifAlso on WAFB.comhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/blt_relatedlink.gifclassmates.comhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/blt_relatedlink.giffacebook.comhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/blt_relatedlink.gifmyspace.comhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/blt_relatedlink.gifzabasearch.comhttp://wafb.images.worldnow.com/images/static/gfx/pxl_trans.gif COLULMBIA, SC (WIS) - Dottie Martin of Elgin called WIS News 10 in Columbia with a most unusual request. She found a ring, and wanted help finding its owner. So WIS' Hannah Horne started digging. She loves a good mystery, and jewelry, so this story was perfect for her. After months of searching on her own, Dottie needed help finding the rightful owner of a ring. And it's not just any ring. With only a few clues, Hannah tackled the task at hand. The 1983 Orange Bowl ring, once a treasure, was discarded as trash, until Dottie Martin of Elgin found it. "Some boxes I'd bought from flea markets." Dottie said she "don't even know when or where." It was "jewelry, old junk jewelry," she explained. Looking closer, Dottie knew it was not junk with the orange stone, the letters 'LSU' and the engraved name inside. The ring belonged to former LSU defensive back Jeffery Dale. Dale played in the 1983 Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. But those were the only few clues. "All I could find from the internet was a bio of where he had been, but I could not find him now." Dale went on to play in the NFL for the San Diego Chargers in 1985. When the national spotlight dimmed, the trail went cold. That's when she called, asking for help. Hannah tried the internet, searching Google and phone books. She called and wrote to alumni and friends at LSU for help. Traces of Jeffery Dale were found in seven states, from east to west coasts. After two weeks of searching, a popular social networking site sent Hannah right to him. Classmates.com links together high school friends. A quick search of his name, and jackpot, Hannah found photos, information and friends. It was the break, or click, she needed to get in touch with him. Jeffery Dale traveled from his Memphis, Tennessee, home to Columbia to meet Dottie Martin and be reunited with his football heirloom. Jeffery remembers losing the ring in a Columbia restaurant bathroom. It happened in 2001, when he lived in Columbia and worked at Baptist Hospital. "It hurt my heart when I lost it," he said. "A couple of times, I thought about calling LSU and having it remade." There's no way of knowing how the ring got to the flea market, but a grandmother's heart got it back to the elusive Jeffery Dale. "I know how important great achievements in life are to pass along to your children," she said. And that ring comes full circle. "Getting this is like getting it all over again. It's like having it for the first time. I'll remember this just as well as the first time I got it, that's because of Miss Dottie and I appreciate that. I really do." Jeffery Dale is now a director at St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Wearing the ring again, he said it makes him feel like he could get back on the football field.

I got 2 letters from Lowes the other day denying me credit. Someone had applied for 2 credit cards in my name a few days apart. One was turned down for not enough info and the other for applying too soon after the first one. They tried but I didnt get stuck. Hope it stays that way. I have perfect credit with all the credit bureaus and they flagged my account to keep me from getting burned. Lyle

I am leaving in the morning by cage to go see the LSU/Kentucky basketball game on Saturday. My son bought us tickets for my birthday. What is good to see in Lexington. Dont have a lot of time but will be able to look around some. GO TIGERS. Lyle

Don, you could set up a section like the section for our names by state. Then when you get a restruant you insert it into the state it is in. or where it would go there automatically with a form we fill in. I'm not too computer literate but that way we could look them up by state just as we look up people by state. Lyle

I'm good for one Lewis. I will put a check in the mail and my addr to you on your email. Thanks Lyle

Do you have an email for them?

My sister-in-law is moving to Spring City, TN. Her new husband is going to work at the nuke plant. I am told that it is about an hour from the Dragon. so I definitely will be visiting. Anything nice around there other than the Dragon? Lyle:7_6_3[1]:

I guess since no one else said anything bad about women drivers, I better not either.

I had a Honda Shadow Ace Tourer 1100 and wanted a bigger bike so my wife would be comfortable. Went to a honda/Yamaha dealer and saw the 2005 RSV, like it and traded my bike for it without ever riding it. Still have it even though I now have a 2004 GW Trike now. I am planning on selling the 2005 RSV as soon as I get it cleaned up and ready to go. But I cant leave this site as there are too many good people here that I dont think I would ever be able to meet anywhere else. Lyle

Thanks Don I appreciate it. Where did you get it from. Thanks Lyle

Do any of you use the XM radio thru the Garmin 550. If so where did you get your antenna (GXM 30) and how much did it cost. Do you get good reception with it and any troubles with it. Thanks for the info. Lyle

Don after you got your refund you should have told her, "Oh by the way it will turn on if you hold it down hard" and then walked away.

A friend of mine has a 1 year old Bushtec trailerwith all the bells and whistles that he paid $4800.00 for. He has used it once to Vegas and back and is going to sell it to me foe $3000.00. More than I wanted to spend on a trailer, but a great deal. He keeps all of his stuff polished inside a garage so I know it is nice, The price includes cover and hitch and he is also gonna wire my trike. The only problem is it is black and my trike is pewter. I just could not pass it up.

This is the best Christmas story I have ever read. The Christmas Dolly This is an article submitted to a 1999 Louisville Sentinel contest to find out who had the wildest Christmas dinners. It won first prize. As a joke, my brother Jay used to hang a pair of panty hose over his fireplace before Christmas. He said all he wanted was for Santa to fill them. What they say about Santa checking the list twice must be true because every Christmas morning, although Jay's kids' stockings overflowed, his poor pantyhose hung sadly empty. One year I decided to make his dream come true. I put on sunglasses and went in search of an inflatable love doll. They don't sell those things at Wal-Mart. I had to go to an adult bookstore downtown. If you've never been in an X-rated store, don't go. You'll only confuse yourself. I was there an hour saying things like, 'What does this do?' 'You're kidding me!' 'Who would buy that?' Finally, I made it to the inflatable doll section. I wanted to buy a standard, uncomplicated doll that could also substitute as a passenger in my truck so I could use the car pool lane during rush hour. Finding what I wanted was difficult. 'Love Dolls' come in many different models. The top of the line, according to the side of the box, could do things I'd only seen in a book on animal husbandry. I settled for 'Lovable Louise.' She was at the bottom of the price scale. To call Louise a 'doll' took a huge leap of imagination. On Christmas Eve and with the help of an old bicycle pump, Louise came to life. My sister-in-law was in on the plan and let me in during the wee morning hours. Long after Santa had come and gone, I filled the dangling pantyhose with Louise's pliant legs and bottom. I also ate some cookies and drank what remained of a glass of milk on a nearby tray. I went home, and giggled for a couple of hours. The next morning my brother called to say that Santa had been to his house and left a present that had made him VERY happy, but had left the dog confused. She would bark, start to walk away, then come back and bark some more. We all agreed that Louise should remain in her pantyhose so the rest of the family could admire her when they came over for the traditional Christmas dinner. My grandmother noticed Louise the moment she walked in the door. 'What the hell is that?' she asked. My brother quickly explained, 'It's a doll.' 'Who would play with something like that?' Granny snapped. I kept my mouth shut. 'Where are her clothes?' Granny continued. 'Boy, that turkey sure smells nice, Gran,' Jay said, to steer her into the dining room. But Granny was relentless. 'Why doesn't she have any teeth?' Again, I could have answered, but why would I? It was Christmas and no one wanted to ride in the back of the ambulance saying, 'Hang on Granny, hang on!' My grandfather, a delightful old man with poor eyesight, sidled up to me and said, ' Hey, who's the naked gal by the fireplace?' I told him she was Jay's friend. A few minutes later I noticed Grandpa by the mantel, talking to Louise. Not just talking, but actually flirting. It was then that we realized this might be Grandpa's last Christmas at home. The dinner went well. We made the usual small talk about who had died, who was dying, and who should be killed, when suddenly Louise made a noise like my father in the bathroom in the morning. Then she lurched from the mantel, flew around the room twice, and fell in a heap in front of the sofa. The cat screamed. I passed cranberry sauce through my nose, and Grandpa ran across the room, fell to his knees, and began administering mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. My brother fell back over his chair and wet his pants. Granny threw down her napkin, stomped out of the room, and sat in the car. It was indeed a Christmas to treasure and remember. Later in my brother's garage, we conducted a thorough examination to decide the cause of Louise's collapse. We discovered that Louise had suffered from a hot ember to the back of her right thigh. Fortunately, thanks to a wonder drug called duct tape, we restored her to perfect health. I can't wait until next Christmas.

Squidley quit putting it on Baton Rouge, it didn't even happen in this parish. Give credit where credit is due. Baton Rouge is is East Baton Rouge Parish and I think you were even west of West Baton Rouge Parish. Thom I live in Baton Roge a couple miles from the 10/12 split and it is not too bad through here but they run radar on it a lot. Just go through at night or in morning or mid day. If you pass through in evening rush hour you will back up for at least an hour until you are east of Denham Spring. Also in Denham Springs they have a van that clocks speeders and sends out tickets. I haven't seen it yet but in the paper they said they would use it on the slab. I used to work highway interdiction for 2 years on the interstate and knew every inch of it to hunt rabbits at night and to relieve myself but they have cameras on it every few miles now. If you need help going thru here my cell in 225-413-0885 or if you just want to meet. Give me a short warning and I can meet anywhere along the slab. Lyle
