Either way, if the only thing that defines a person is what they own, there is a problem. They need new friends or a different way to evaluate their self-worth. <br /><br />Have a blessed week.

Once he ordered half a tractor trailer load of light bulbs. Another time he ordered half a truckload of Mr. Coffee coffee filters. He was a terrific salesman but not too detail oriented.<br /><br />Have a blessed week. David E.

Getting decent rest is definitely gold star worthy in today's world. And I am a huge fan of your spot-on tip about "financial stupidity". You wouldn't think that would be so hard, but for most people, it sadly is.

That is too funny that your Mom didn't notice you changed shirts with your brother. I am glad you have a/c in the house at least, I feel bad for anyone without it. Have a nice weekend!

The way it used to work, there would be John Smith, and he would name his son John Smith Jr., who would name his son John Smith III. The original John Smith would not be called John Smith, Sr., during his life. The Senior designation would be used by his widow, because upon John Smith's death, his son dropped the Junior and simply became John Smith. John Smith III at that point moved up to John Smith, Jr. <br /><br />It doesn't work that way any more because people put the Sr., Jr., III, etc. as part of their legal signature. Technically, though, your mama was correct, your father would have moved up and dropped the Jr. and that would have been your designation. Your grandmother would have been Mrs. Robert Bruce McClendon, Sr., to differentiate her from your mother, her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Bruce McClendon.<br /><br />As with most things the Victorians left us, it's weird and complicated.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129549107215917391.post-91702507764770930132018-07-27T01:41:57.994-05:002018-07-27T01:41:57.994-05:00I think David is a great name and I like your grea...I think David is a great name and I like your great-grandpa's nickname for you, too.
