The RMStringers.com

Well, our website is back up and running. It is not on dedicated server space like it was before. I went and purchased a FlickR Pro account so I could have unlimited sets and groups as well as no limit of pics. The basic account has just a 200 pic limit and if you are like me, you take a lot of photos.

My domain name has been parked at www.Enom.com for the last few months and I am in a battle with Registerfly as I bought server space for 1 year and then something happened to their company. I have about $20 in credit that I cannot get back from them as well as the 1 year contract for server space. It sucks! And They SUCK!! You cannot get them on the tele or via fax nor email. I xfered my domain to Enom and that is how I decided to get the FlickR Pro account. SO all texts and stuff like that will be on the FlickR page on the picture captions. I will tell about the adventures on the Blog. So if you want to stay up with us, subscribe to the RSS feeds that I offer on my blog.

Parachutes...

An airplane was about to crash.There were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes –

The 1st passenger said, “I am Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball player. The Lakers need me, and I can’t afford to die.” So he took the 1st pack and left the plane!

The 2nd passenger, Hillary Clinton said, “I am the wife of a formerU.S. President, a NY State Senator and a potential future president.And I am the smartest woman in American history…..... so America ‘s people don’t want me to die.“She took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane!

The 3rd passenger, Ted Kennedy said, “I am a US Senator… the democratic party needs me and my liver still has some good years left.” So he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped.

The 4th passenger, Billy Graham, said to the 5th passenger, a 10 year old schoolgirl, “I am old and frail and don’t have many years left,... and as a Christian I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.”

The little girl said, “That’s okay. There’s a parachute left for you! America’s smartest woman took my school bag.”

Wet Graduation Pic...


It was a very rainy night on May 12. We all got totally soaked trying to get from the parking garage to the chapel.

This is a pic of the duke chapel inside. It is built in the Gothic style of all the European cathedrals.

All of the pics inside were taken without a flash. During the ceremony, they were not allowed.

This Weekend...

I have many pics from this weekend and i will be posting them on FlickR. I just moved to a FlickR PRO account and i will be redirecting our personal website to a fickr page tonight. I will post a few pics to the blog as well.

It was wonderful seeing my whole family this weekend. We saw my brother graduate from Duke Divinity School with a Masters degree and and he is leaving for Texas tomorrow. The weather was a mess!! We were under a flash flood watch all yesterday evening and we got soaked running to the Duke Chapel. We got up and went to church where he used to preach. It was a very good time and it was nice to visit my family.

More Later with Pic goodness.

We are off to Durham North Carolina to meet my Dad and Sister and Stepmother to see my Brother (Clifton) graduate from Duke University Seminary. He is going to be posted to a church in Austin Texas as a Youth minister. I am very proud of him and I will miss him dearly. We will stay the night in Durham and go to church on Sunday with the Family and then make our way back to Midlothian…


 

Have a good weekend!! I will post with pics when I get back.

Body Mods...My Thoughts.










Hey folks, don’t get me wrong, I am all for someone expressing themselves. I have a tat and I had my ears pierced for nearly 20 years. All my stuff is covered up and I don’t ware earrings anymore (not by my choice, by my wife's) At some point all these people will have to become productive members of society and how the hell can they do that when they have enough metal in their head to set of metal detectors at the nearest airports or stick to an electromagnet??


What do they expect to do?? We don’t need 1,000,000 tattoo artists in the world. How can they go to a normal workplace and get a job as a doctor or lawyer looking like a scrap metal yard. When I was younger I thought that it would be "cool" to be a "freak" and now that I am older, I am glad that I NEVER went through with it. Some of these people are like a counter-culture to the counter-culture. They go to the FAR EXTREAM!!! Who or What are the rebelling aginst??
You tell me and we will both know...
