The five snacks you enjoy are some of the best foods...I like them all.
I have a funny story about the song Hard Times which I will tell you about it next time I'm in Manhatten.
Don't ever feel like you are whinning about migraines.
Good luck at the sleep clinic.
I dun alreddy got tagged with this by Chad Edwards, but sumhow the questions was a little differnt.
Laak, thar was no questun bout songs I kin sang from bginnin to end.
Ma granny, now sleepin wif Confederate Dead, she knew lotsa old ballads datin to Crusades. I kin sang sum of them. And all Bill Monroe's big hits. And most everthang recorded by the Seldom Scene Bluegrass, who I met em all and they was right nice.
They's an ol-timey mountain song about a moonshaaner, and I name my preshus oldes daughter after it. But rest of big city world think it a boy name, and she all time have trubble people who never met her thank she's a guy.
My favrit toy is books. Has bin since I a lil gal.
BD, everone I knows who gots migraines suffers laak a dog. Gonna go visit god-checker see if they a certain bored god fer headaches. God of good sleep be Morpheus, but don pray to that guy, he a bad dude.
buddy don, friend teacher, I can not begin to express how flattered I am that a well educated, super smart and creative writer like yourself finds anything worth repeating that I might place on a page.
I find your journey through the pain and hassle of your affliction to be a very creative expression. A man sharing his life and times both good and bad in the way you do is not whinning in the least. Furthermore I know (as Prophet of the Obvious) your dedication to the hillbilly lingo is a true treasure and will someday be of great value to the thinking/teaching world.
