Why Rose, I'm right down here in Charleston working at the convenience store right behind Cutlips Motor Lodge. You know where that is don't you?
EP

ROSE said...

Ah, Cutlips. teeheehee Funny how some memories fade & others just never do. LOL

(I thought I had you secured in the basement. How'd you get out??)

Oh, take me back,
to Tupelo.
To '35,
where a legend would grow.

A baby born
to sing the blues.
To rock the world
in his blue suede shoes.

The King's left the building,
but he'll never be gone.
His music still echoes,
The Legend lives on ...

His recording of "How Great Thou Are" (hope I got that right) would make a rock feel something.

I asked sirhenry a question on the previous post. Hope he looks back and gives us an answer.

Yes, it's me Rose, bright and early. "Good morning to you, good morning to you." hahaha

You guys must have had some bad personal experiences with the ambulance service. But anyway, maybe that's a topic Rose will address another time. Today she is celebrating the birthday of one of her favorites so let's get off the ambulance service and inept lawyers, etc., and let Rose have some fun.

Rose, play that Elvis music and dance all day!!!!

ROSE said...

WOOO HOOOO!!! Oh, I do so love Elvis. Dancin' & singin' & groovin' all day long ... LOL

If he'd have just waited on me to grow up, I'm sure his life could've turned out much differently.

Kermit? You out there?? Peanut butter & banana sandwiches for breakfast ... fried chicken for supper. YEEHAAW!!!

Rose just put on your blue suade shoes, pet your hound dog, swivel your hips and have a great day.

George said...

Rose I did it for you! check my blog

Hey, anon. Rose doesn't need my help with anything. She's a smart cookie and I didn't mean to offend anyone. It was just a thought.

Rose, you're gonna love what George has on his blog. Let us know what you think. Oh, and I am back. Been in Fla for several weeks.

ROSE said...

GEORGE! Man, you are SO good to me!! LOL I love it!

Yeah, I've been a fan my entire life. I've got a child who does a killer impersonation (he's 9), so yes, I've warped my children. LOL

I once met an impersonator. OMG, what an experience. There he was, The King, in all his glory, circa 1968. Looked EXACTLY like him & had it all goin' on - the lip, the hip, the voice ... & I was single. BAHAHAHAHA

Not until August though right?

ROSE said...

DUH. My Elvis trivia knowledge is above challenge, but my math certainly isn't. LOL

Hey rose,
Just got up and it is raining, so I thought I would check out all the hot topics in Clay County, I was very disturbed to find out Elvis is dead, boy, that was a shock!!!
Well my breakfast is ready, I'll catch you later!

See I got some catching up to do. What is the deal with Westboro whatever? Must be bad to get wvchic so ticked off. Anyone care to fill me in on this? Would appreciate it.

ROSE said...

CBP? Elvis is WHAT???

WVChic, you just keep on callin'. Invite them all to Clay County. Maybe we can get them in on the 10 controversy & may the strongest survive. Then we'll deal with them, too.

I'm feeling very Old Testament today ... teeheehee

Anonymous said...

See what ya mean, wvchic. Made my skin crawl. No wonder you're fired up. The internet is a great thing for the most part but unfortunately there are those who have such thoughts and they will put them out there. About all we can do is to try to teach our children not to hate anyone. I won't be going back there, no way. Thanks a lot for the info.

WVChic30 did you look at their home page? I was looking to see if they had any sort of valid number in the Topeka white pages. It's the same one on their flier.
I was looking at their home page and they are just a total wing nut SMALL group of people. Only nine of them from what I can see and evidently one of them has a computer. Seems to me they are the kind of vigilanties (how do you spell that???) that do stuff like protest all day at a particular site, carrying their hand painted signs and chanting weird satanic sounding chants. (I always wonder why these people aren't at work. Don't they have jobs they should be at?) I'd say they are a lame and pathetic group who don't deserve anyones attention much less the engery that it takes to be enraged over their ignorant actions. I'd prefer to spend my energy doing what I can to help the familys that lost their husbands, dads, sons and friends.I wouldn't invite them here to Clay County. What if they decided it was fag free and wanted to stay?

ROSE said...

We need my fiesty little mom here ...

Ya know, this is America, where we're all allowed to have our own opinions, beliefs, etc. But this kind of stuff gets passed down from generation to generation & eventually, all of these people will procreate.

If you don't like homosexuals, atheists, politicians, green-eyed women, etc., that's your business. HOWEVER, what really torks my cookies about people like this is they think that just because they have the "right" to protest, that gives them an open invitation.

Where's the compassion? The empathy? The simple human "I'm sorry for your loss" mentality?

I don't hate these people; I don't know them. I do, however, hate their hatred, hate their presence where it doesn't belong, hate their propoganda; hate that their children might someday meet mine.

WBC receives a large volume of email every day. As such, it is impossible to personally respond to each and every email. If you would like to ensure that your email is personally responded to, please pay heed to the following guidelines:

Please be sure to read the FAQ before you send mail. Also, read our Dear Shirley and Dear Margie sections. Instead of wasting time by asking the same questions that everyone else in the civilized world asks, perhaps it would suit you well to stop being so lazy and read those sections.
Any messages containing obscene, pejorative or hostile language will not be personally responded to.
Any messages containing threats of physical violence (including death) will be immediately reported to the FBI and your ISP. Yes, the FBI does take email threats seriously, and yes, they will find you and come to your house and ask you about it.
If your only purpose is to rant and rave, don't waste your time. We've already seen it.
Mailbombs are automatically detected and deleted, and a message documenting your mailbomb will be sent to the owner of the originating IP address. Likewise, fake mail will be reported to the owner of the originating IP address.
If you continue to send harrassing email, you will be asked one time to stop, and any subsequent messages will be automatically forwarded to your ISP.
To repeat, please stop being so lazy and read the FAQ and our Dear Shirley and Dear Margie sections before you send mail. It would break our hearts for you to be under the false impression that you are asking an original question (or making an original comment), when in reality, everyone else is saying the same thing. Seriously. We're shedding a collective tear at the very thought that you would be under such a delusion. For example, if you send an email saying "God loves everyone," not only will you be showing your ignorance of the Bible, but you will be showing that you are too lazy to read the FAQ and our Dear Shirley and Dear Margie sections. Nevertheless, you still may receive a response that goes something like this: "I hated Esau. Malachi 1:3. Also, see Leviticus 20:23, 26:30; Deuteronomy 32:19; Psalm 5:5-6, 10:3, 11:5, 53:5, 73:20, 78:59, 106:40; Proverbs 6:16-19, 8:13, 22:14; Lamentations 2:6; Romans 9:13."

ROSE said...

THANKS, GEORGE!!

Did you take those pictures?? Were you there? Did you touch him?

Wait. Read this the way I'd actually be saying it:

didyoutakethosepictureswereyoutheredidyoutouchhimohmygoshimsojealous! LOL

Anonymous said...

Rose, sure hope you enjoyed your Elvis birthday party today. I checked out the pics on George's post again and again. Awesome. He was soooo handsome.

Calling it a night. See ya in the morning. Just wondering what you'll come up with next. lol. You're so good at this.

ROSE said...

Hey, b...rulz, looks like I'm probably too late to say goodnight, but Good Night! Got caught up in a marathon phone session with my mom. Boy, can we yak! LOL

I loved George's site. It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how many times I look at that face, I never get tired of it. (heavy sigh ... LOL)

I did, indeed, enjoy my Elvis Day. I always do. Always pick one of the dozens of Elvis shirts & wear it with pride, despite the weirdo looks I get.

Next week is Trace Adkins' birthday, ya know ... teeheehee Poor Trace ... he'll never reach Elvis/Conway status in my world. Just a passing thing. LOL
