Woe is me 
“The weather is terrible. I can’t get into the fields. All the crops are drowning. Everything is against me. I can’t do anything right. I’m doomed. Even my dog thinks I’m ugly.”
I’ve got two chances getting one past MJ, slim and none.  |

Got couple request for rest of lyrics:
Sittin', in the window singin' to my love Slop bucket fell from the window up above Mule and grasshopper eatin' ice cream The mule got sick so they laid him on the green Stay all night, stay a little longer, Dance all night, dance a little longer Pull off you r coat, throw it in the corner Don't see why ya don't tay a little longer
Grab your gal and pat her on the head If she don't like biscuits feed her corn bread If the girls dont they jump on a man like a dog on a bone. Stay all night, stay a little longer etc....
Was thinking, this may have been the first Rap Song!! If you are in Rainelle stop by...stay all night, stay a little longer----we love good company!!!!

Do you remember:
Dr. Jackson making house calls
Perry Como, Chesterfield cigarette poster in store windows
Wings cigarettes packs with WWII aircraft cards
And some mentioned Dixie cups with famous faces under the lid
Fountain pens and ink bottles
WWII ration stamps for gas and sugar
Trading comic books
Pegged pants
Blue jeans with pant leg rolled up one turn
Penny loafers with a dime in the flap
"With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe"
I was never broke

Chris. Dr. Jackson was the BEST. I suppose he delivered most of Rainelle.
Remember when: G C Murphy got the real baby chicks in at Easter - they were dyed easter egg colors.
Rumors of the drag racing in Lilly Park.
4 big paper bags of groceries for $25.00. Bread 25 cents per loaf.
The candy counter at GC Murphy.
Eggs that tasted like eggs and beef that was pure... |

Chris, I remember Dr. Davis making house calls. He made many calls at our house. Dr. Jackson and Dr. Lewis also made them. Those were the good old days. I remember the jeans with the rolled up cuff. I wore them. I loved wearing them like that. Guess I thought I was cool. I also had the penny loafer with a penny. I couldn't afford a dime. Do you remember Bill Walkers Barber Shop, Don Array Shop, Mick and Mack 5 and 10, Hugharts Men Shop, Mr. Billy Shockleys IGA store. ( Gene Nelson and Claude Morton worked there). Also, Price and McKnight Grocery, Webbs Market, Veon Cox Grocery Store, Greenbrier Dispatch Office, Nunleys Taveren, Collins Electric, ( Brothers, BT and Raymond were the owners). Dickenson Brothers Furniture, Alvis Furniture, Paul McIntire Plumbing, and Mrs. L.T. Cole had a soft custard stand out next to C and H Curb Service, Mrs. Hazel Forren had a soft custard stand plus she sold hot dogs and hamburgers. This was located on Gbr. Ave. next to the Church of God. Do you remember when the First Baptist Church had Bible School at the East Rainelle Grade School. Notice the word Grade. That was what it was called. We had a big turn out of kids for the Bible Schools. I went to East Rainelle Grade School. Mrs. Lucy Lee was my first grade teacher. I loved her then and still do. I remember Mr. Kane at Rainelle High. You guys must have been bad because I sure did well with him. I could read 13 books and make a report on each one and I would be exempt from those Semester Tests. The book reports were so easy for me because I loved to read. Still do. Enough for now.

Just a note to say my plate is pretty full the rest of this week and next week so lets move along.
Sears Roebuck catalogue
Alden catalogue
Engineer boots, black with the buckel
Army field jackets
Kilroy Was Here! Graffiti
Grit Newspsper
Milk bottles
Steve Allen - My wife and I had words, but I never got to use mine! Or "How are the acoustics here?" "Great, I can hardly hear you!"
In 1957 you use Form 1040, Long Form if your income was more than $5,000. Less than $5,000 and you could use Form 1040A, Short Form.
Singin' in the Rain 1952 Gene Kelly
AaBbCc across the top of the chalk board in elementary school
Penmanship class
Geography class. I could never spell it but I remembered George Elder’s Oldest Girl Rode A Pony Home Yesterday
Conspiracy. Now there is a word I like. Probably listened to many detective radio shows
Spit balls. Best reason not to set in the back of the class. That is where the teacher always looked first.
Marilyn reminded me of a loaf of bread. I was known far and wide as just like Rainbow bread – an 8 hour loaf
Marilyn also mentioned colored Easter baby chicks. I do indeed remember them but can’t associate them with Murphy’s.
I also remember coloring, hiding, and hunting Easter eggs.
I have been hiding song lyrics in my post but certain unnamed people seem to have lost interest. I guess it was way to easy.
I was thinking ahead to next week and I’m suggesting “Do You Remember Jingles”.
Don’t name the product that will be for the audience to guess.
Sample……”Good to the last drop”. I know that is way to easy but you get the idea.

| Visual flashback: I can see Arnold Lively sitting there in the booth with my Dad and see Mrs. Lively working at the counter...Wimpy and Betty Snedegar in the front booth...Mr. and Mrs. Childress operating and managing the Alpine - he was so good to the young people...hear the church bell at the Methodist Church (we could hear it from our house in "12-A")...remember when the new steeple was put on First Baptist and the sound of the bells. Church bells and Rainelle...Going to the Greenbrier County singing conventions and hearing Sach Howard and his group sing, they were so young...the snow drifts in the golf course with the little cemetary hill behind it looked like a scene from another planet...watching all that traffic coming down from Sewell Mountain and wondering where they were going...the large plumes of smoke rising from the Rainelle school as the coal was shoveled into the furnace to heat those water pipe room heaters...sitting on the heaters near the window looking outside the science room watching the seniors out front in their school sweaters...bobby sox, peg-legged pants, slick shiny hair, poodle skirts, fluffy petticoats - what were those petticoats called?? |

Shirley gave me quite a few items to test my memory. Guess what I Failed with a capital “F” and that rhymes with ……. well nothing except “Failed with a capital F”. 
Gilmer Harrah(?) was where I got my hair cut. I remember Shockley IGA. Was Mick & Mack, Mr. Mrs. Townley? Nunley Tavern was where we played pin ball if that was the place maybe 6th & Main. Paul McIntire sounds familiar. Don’t remember any custard places and don’t remember any business on Greenbrier. Don’t remember the Church Of God. E Rainelle grade I attended. Only remember Mrs. Hines and Mrs. Amick. Two people I think were happy when I go promoted. My mother and Mrs. Amick. Only furniture store I remember was at maybe 8th St. Don’t remember being exempt from test.  Probably because I never got exempt. School was never the place I preferred to be. That changed my 2nd year in college. Guess I started accepting responsibility by then.  Something comes to mind. Don’t know the name of the street / road but going down Kanawha you can turn up the hill and over look the town. Hammond live up there. I was up and down that road many many times. Also Kanawha continues on and the name changed to don't remember. A few miles up that road and then on the west side and up the hill there was a strip mining operation.
Galvanized washing tubs
Rain barrels
Old fashion washing machine with the wringer
Singer foot pedal sewing machines
Clothes iron heating on top of the stove
MJ: “You did it. You did it. You said that you could do it and indeed you did. You did it.”
See I said it was way to easy. You guys are just outstanding.
If only I was cunning enough (which no one has ever accused me of and I'm not) I would probably hide some lyrics somewhere else.
Perhaps while you are having the chilidog at the Drive In reading the News, I would also suggest “you better count your money” cause “You need to think, think about what your doing” and pay the bill and leave a little tip.
Now let me see 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Pardon me, I was counting out loud. “Sorry about that, MJ”, actually I make it 7. Darn, and to think "I was that close". Now Andy will cancel my A+ and give me a F-
Say Good night, Mrs. Calabash
Well, its about time.

Marilyn having flashbacks. . Jessica and Bunny sharing their thoughts to answer Marilyn’s question.
Now wasn’t that easy? “Just walk right in, set right down and let your hair hang down”.
Marilyn, I do remember the Rainelle cemetery. I even remember Petticoat Junction.
Speaking of another planet you might enjoy going over to http://www.nasa.gov/missions/timeline/index.html From there you can read and see all the latest space info.
I understand the meaning of infinite. I cannot relate to space being infinite. Imagine the Hubble telescope looking millions of light years out into space.
Try to imagine going any direction from earth, up from the North Pole, down from the South Pole, straight out from USA or the other side of earth and there is no end that we can identify.
I would remind you to get back to reality before to long. Still have to get groceries for the weekend.
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/ more great stuff from the Hubble site.
