That's stupid.  Come yourself and give your sister something toward the cremation bill.

There is no estate.  There is no outstanding bill... sister paid it.

I have walked in similar moccasins a couple times in the past. Unfortunately I know I'll be wearing them again one day.

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

Well it's storming in Central FL (space coast) and has been for days.  Squalling like the end of the world.  In spite of hell, my siblings came and we carried Bigun to his favorite fishing inlet and scattered his ashes.  Somber weather for a somber occasion.  A very stormy day, in many ways.

Of course we gathered at my house to eat & tell tales from the olden days and Bob and I slipped into the studio/garage and blew our brains out playing some blues.  I cooked up a storm and we ate like southern folks be bound to do.

Everybody was in their right mind because we sat and talked so as to fill in the gaps in the history.  When we had told it all a very sad story emerged.  For once I kept my mouth mostly shut.  We are the last of the line.  My fathers brother passed earlier this year and I rarely speak to my cuz that's holding down the old family farm.  Our kids are somewhat disconnected from the family history...for now.  They'll have their own time soon enough.

I guess we'll do something on a grander scale come family reunion time.  This time it was just the 4 siblings (including fat Mike smile ) in a car on a mission...so like long ago.  Exhausting & painful...

MuchLove

Well, you can go down, toss a line in and have a sit by him any old day now. I've done the same with an old pal and it is a comfort. I've even taken a second pole.

Yeah I sure can huh?  I'm not much one for all the commercialization of death.  I worship in truth and in spirit.  A conscious contact, if you will.  Yesterday I lost that and it was frightening. 

I was so angry and hurt that my old crippled up self was contemplating violence.  It was shameful.  I thought that devil was dead.  It was a wake up call for me.  I'm not like that, anymore.  Not for years.  No love.  roll

So now I have to clean out my ears, because you know when you have your head up your ***, you get stuff in your ears.  lol  And I have to put new line on old Bubba's rod & reel.  wink

Sometimes we have to let go of that fishing line and let someone else take control. We can't prevent what someone is intent on doing. Don't blame yourself. It was out of your hands long ago. Take care of you and the rest will fall into place. But it's ok to get mad. Just don't let it rule you.

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

Thanks for the calls peeps.  I accidentally misrepresented myself with that last post.  No I'm not mad at Bubba for his alcoholism, nor myself for any guilt or neglect.  Like Spider said, I have no control over other people's disease.  No I turned that over, long ago, to a Power much greater then me.

No I was furious at some situation that cost me time, money & a great deal of discomfort simply because of an arbitrary decision made by some clerk.  I got it fixed.  Pray God some good will come of it?   hmm   Yeah that's the ticket.  smile

My attentions will be more gainfully directed at trying to join my BonaBros at the Beacon come November.  big_smile   cool  ( pssst...hey dude let me hold a grand!?)  lol

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

I was just browsing thru the myriad of I-tunes on line radio stations. The following show leapt out at me.

'Doc Love Show ---    Understanding Women For Men Only Radio show is designed to coach men on the fine art of dating and keeping women who are in love....'

BJJ has often spoken wisely on the subject matter. Is it you Funky Doc? Bringing us men, Men Only wisdom in the ways of women and the art of keeping them.

When yes, then sign me up Doc. God knows my track record indicates coaching is required lol

No sir.  Not me.  One gains that wisdom by being honest, rigorously honest.    Another seeming paradox:
A true mystic is an unflinching realist. 
But I am working on a local AM music station to get my own show:  Blues Music & straight talk for grown men...

Re: Where's Big Jeff Jones?

So glad you made it there.  Mr Meerkat is very jealous.  Looking forward to your stories about this night and the next.
