I knew Elvis was still alive! I kept trying to tell everyone and the only people that would listen to me were the reporter from Weekly News & World Report.

ROSE said...

Oh, he was very much alive! No putrid odor of decay or anything! Certainly no dead man could ever achieve those moves!

I'm not particular, nadas OK. nice place here to go skinny dipping. the water dogs don't bite but the catfish will. did you ever see a turtle head flower. found my first one last week. just think all this interesting goings on right here in Clay co. bout as good as cutting hay.

Anonymous said...

jumpsuit?????? That had to be at least 13 years ago...hmm....I can't remember, so I'd say the details of that would probably be best left unsaid.

I'd get arrested now if I ever put on a jumpsuit. Ewwwww!

Well, LS, I learned something new from you today. I have never heard of a turtlehead flower. Thanks for the info. I googled it and for you who would like to take a look: http://www.all-creatures.org/picb/wfshl-turtlehead.html Very Interesting. Thanks again, LS.

ROSE said...

It was even longer ago (longer ago?) than that, Ms. Lewinsky. BAHAHAHAHA

re turtlehead flower: nice webpage. didn't realize what i had stumbled onto. didn't realize the flower was rare. checked again there's three plants, only one bloomed. been watching this plant for 3-4 yrs. ubusal to me, likely would not be noticed by most people. just another weed. anyway thanks for the info, might have missed that otherwise.

I heard there is someone around Clay that hauls water. Anybody know who it is?

Please keep the family of little Stephen Hayes in your thoughts & prayers.

Those of you who think it's OK to run a stop sign or gas it when the light is yellow or blatantly run a red light when nobody's coming the other way ... y'all think of little 2-month-old baby Stephen every time you get behind the wheel of your car.

My deepest condolences to the entire extended family.

Greg Fitzwaters of Clay does
Call 651-4560 to reach him, that is who hauls ours.

Reckon they got the high sts. apartment mess successfully covered up. haint heard no more from it. reckon the Feds came in and threateded or paid everyone off.
theyeze even putin FREEGOATS OOPS i mean Freemasons in jail.

ROSE said...

Now, I was tongue-tied once, but I'm not even sure where (or what) my tounge is, so if it got tied & I don't remember ... I just hope I didn't start any fights or anything.

Beyond that, I have no idea what's being said here ... LOL

doggone it; that copycat sherlock went and scooped me again. even got my style copied anymore. he left the Boggs family out of Ivydale societee though. some children thought they seen a BIGFOOT over at Arnoldsburg awhile back. Called a monkeyman. they did I swear. someone came along though and told them,sai, hey thats JB jr. his pappy lives at Ivydale. Hells bells up jumped the devil.

Please remember Kenneth Holcomb and his family in your prayers. His wife & mother were involved in a car wreck Thursday afternoon. He lays his mom to rest on Wednesday and his wife on Friday.

Seems like an awful lot of bad news lately. Surely it's time for ... better days?

It is 8:35pm on Wednesday October 10,2007. Take a minute and go outside take a deep breath of fresh fall air and remember some good thought or memory. Autumn is here and God has given us a nice season to enjoy. Please take time to enjoy it.

ROSE said...

Ah, LS, there's still some good in a lot of people, huh? My own 11-year-old slipped a dollar to a lady in McDonald's the other day when she didn't have quite enough to cover what she'd ordered.

Voluntarily sharing to help your fellow man is a wonderful thing.

It's now 8:51 & I just came in from breathing the delicious fall air outside. BRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Bend over Clay Countians Connie Lupardus is getting ready to break it off in the taxpayers again. And for what? A freaking eyesore at the end of town that nobody but a bunch of crazy people think it will be a new way to fleece tourist who will flock in in droves to walk across. It will cost thousands to keep it safe and they have already been told it will cost upwards of $20,000 a year for inspections. DUMB DEE DUMB DUMB Just say NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

ROSE said...

Call it an Extreme Sport & charge the tourists $25 to walk across without a net. Charge 'em $50 if they request a bungee cord for "safety."

Realistically, it can't possibly be any more of a hazard than the bridges we're all still driving across.

Can it?

Hey, wait! I know! We'll have a "Tear Down the Bridge Party!" in the middle of the night & everybody who wants it gone can steal a piece of it. That way, no one person can be charged with vandalism (the county doesn't have enough $$ to prosecute everybody) & the national news will show up in droves.

If Anderson Cooper can't bring in the tourists, who the heck needs 'em?!

Rose Cantrell for the CCC, said it all along. Now here's a women with some smarts.

ROSE said...

WOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!

If Rose Cantrell thought for 2 seconds being a commissioner would get AC to come to Clay, Rose Cantrell would've been a commissioner a loooooooong time ago. BAHAHAHAHAHA LOL

Anonymous said...

The only qualification you need for CCC is to have been braindead for more then a week. Or just to dumb to know how it is to be poor and not know about it. But best of all just know how to throw money at a dead horse that people in the county do not need or want.

Every dead horse issue that comes before the CCC they jump right on it pour out thousands of dollars and think they have done something good for the county. This is also the reason we are the poorest place east of the Mississippi.

Anyone that would vote for Hillary Clinton has lost their mind and thats a fact. Guliani is another one I would have lots of thought and maybe a gun or two stuck to my head before I would vote for him also.
The Clintons left a blood trail a mile wide to get to the Big House and set the USA up with a deadfall in Iraq,Iran and all the other Arab countrys. My guess would be that there is not one person that will be running for President that is worth a crap for anything other then shark bait.
Our government has for to long been bought and is now for sale to the highest bidder and the sad thing is our vote doesn't even count for the highest position in the land. How did we get that right taken away and given to the Electoral vote? It would be safe to say that not one of the Electoral College has a clue as to how I would vote or who I would vote for.

waal you could get seasick from the ongoing activity rocking the boat. when standing on the deck of a plane in the air it almost has the same motion as the deck of a ship. a ship floats on water just in case you don't know.

ROSE said...

LOL No, I can't say that I've ever been on a plane and .....

But there was this boat one time ... teeheehee

Is "sea sickness" the same thing as "motion sickness"? Or is that a marketing ploy by Dramamine to get people to take their medicine, no matter what motion they're going to experience?

WOuld someone tell crazy Evelyn McGlothlin that the county does not want the old Dundon Bridge the only reason half of the people signed it was to shut her up. If she has all this free time why does she not go home and clean up around her house. I get sick every day driving by that mess. I personally am calling the DNR and Jay Carper today if she has nothing to occupy her time she need to haul trash and care for them poor sheep and animals.

The posts RE: BILLY TRUMAN/TOM AUXIER have been moved to a new thread ... this one got too long!!

Anonymous said...

Dear Rose, I just happened to come across your online column,will read all later. I grew up in Clay County in the Big Otter area. I usally visit there at least every 2 years, and always find it rewarding and a feeling of peace.

However, it is very depressing and sad to see that the county is in such a poor state.Growing up there, we didn't pay attention to the landscape. Why doesn't Bryd and the commissioner of the county, clean it up, make owners responsible for keeping their property attractive and neat. Actually, Kings Towing/Garage is a eye sore also.

Do you know that Clay County is the poorest county in WV? Plus people in other counties, look down on it because the way it looks.

I would like your comments on this subject, please my intentions are not to insult anyone.

What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
