Escort Cards

[Cavalry Charger]

I don't know what this says about our personalities, but my first thought was: (Rawr).

Sounds like you're more of a 'go-getter' than me, @LoriAnn ! I'm going to have to up my game on this one

Nah. I'm just losing my filter.

 

[Cavalry Charger]

or if I could do it with an image of the man himself, this is the one I would choose

Here's lookin' at you kid

 

[amweiner]

Nah. I'm just losing my filter.

Filters are overrated, much like "Cuidado! Piso mojado" signs. And warning labels on coffee cups.

 

[Cavalry Charger]

Cuidado! Piso mojado

You're going to have to tell me what this means now...I don't speak Spanish (much like Justin Bieber )

 

[diane]

Now that's what you call a 'whirlwind romance'! How fortuitous for both of them that it was one that was made to last Do you have any pictures of her?

We do! For a long time none could be found but some family members posted this one:

This was taken several years after her husband died and the baby is her grandson.

And, the romantic meeting is memorialized by John Paul Strain:

Caution! Wet floor

But even that in Spanish sounds like a romantic poem being recited by a handsome man in a poofy-sleeved pirate shirt playing guitar.

 

[amweiner]

And I don't speak Spanish, either, but picking some up is unavoidable in California.

What I love is that my wife (who is Mexican-American) speaks none and asks the Jewish guy (who never studied Spanish) how to spell words when she's trying to send texts with Spanish words in them. More often than not, I am the one saying "hijole" while she's saying "oy vay". Talk about the melting pot....

She looks so sad in that top ph0to, Diane I wonder how long that was after Forrest died? She still looks quite young there, too. I would have thought that was her own child she was holding on her knee.

The second image is sweet Though I don't think it looks much like the image of Forrest I have in my mind.

 

[captaindrew]

Scenery's good The accommodation looks a little drafty! Keep working on it @captaindrew

How bout if I include a fine meal of salt pork, fine Yankee hard tack and a nice tall tin cup full of O Be Joyful

Well, it wasn't too long after Forrest died - she's still wearing black - and they had lost pretty much everything what with the war and all. Forrest didn't even have a place of his own to die in - died at his brother's home. Mary Ann went to live with Willie and his wife, helped raise the kids and all. She's probably about 50 or so in that photo.

There's only one picture of Forrest without his chin beard - he didn't wear one until after his marriage. Have to say...he does look seriously different without it!

Oh, I thought this thread had something to do with Coach Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss. Sorry..... carry on....

That's funny right there, don't care who you are

We'll give Justin Beiber a by-ball on this one since he's Canadian

You guys sound sweet Melting pots are the order of the day in our modern world, and more power to them. No better way to create harmony...at least until the FIFA World Cup comes around

 

[Cavalry Charger]

That should do it I won't notice the draft after that

 

[captaindrew]

I need to know...will there be mosquitoes? Cause those little buggers like me a little too much.


Oh, my favorite!

The bugs are just part of the ambiance

That is fun! There was a wonderful Jewish deli way over the hill - we'd make special trips to stock up on Saul's home made sauerkraut and bagels. Believe it or not, he made kosher tamales!

You would absolutely love my wife, @Cavalry Charger!! Not only is she just an all-around amazing woman (she puts up with me on a daily basis, mind you!), she is a wonderful massage therapist and esthetician, great mother, and can fix almost anything that breaks around our home.

And fortunately, neither of us care about soccer.

I'm sure I would She sounds amazing, and you're obviously a very lucky man! I don't know what an esthetician is, but it sounds fascinating, and her DIY expertise would beat me hands down. I'm not a very practical person, a dreamer if you will, so if she's up for giving advice, I'll take it! Good to hear soccer doesn't get in the way of your wonderful romance. A draw will normally prevent too much of an upset

Can you imagine getting an escort card from this guy?!?
