From the time that I was a child through college, I had an old metal bandaid box full of buttons. When a button shirt was worn out, I harvested the buttons and kept them in the box. When I lost a button from a perfectly good shirt, I’d look for a match from the button box. If one couldn’t be found, I’d move the lowest button and replace it with the closest match (the lowest button is often tucked into the pants). Somewhere along the line of years and moves since college, I lost the button box and haven’t replaced it.

As a teen, I transferred into a new high school. My everyday shoes were a pair of red suede sneakers. While climbing down from a tree, I snagged the back of my jeans on a branch. The back pocket was gone, and there was a tear in the fabric. I found a red suede star at a shop and sewed it onto the jeans, covering the hole. The hippie chicks thought it was cute. The guys thought it was an invitation to smack my a$$. Fortunately, the novelty wore off before the patch did. Really comfortable pair of jeans with which I didn’t want to part.

You've posted this about "Flames" twice in the past several hours. It's an allusion to The American Crisis, Rusty.

Quit following me, Gordo.

FYI, three family members who I love and respect are ordained ministers leading evangelical churches. Yes, they love and respect me unreservedly.

I do not care for Jerry Falwell or Liberty University. Even if I did, they’re not shielded from being the objects of derisive humor. That Flames is a reference to The American Crisis is ironic to me.

So if I am in the game threads here and in the FF, that qualifies as "following"?
I posted it there because it is the second time you've posted it.
IDGAFT where you go.

Isaiah 53:1¶Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Jesus is so wonderful!!!

I am considering making coaching girls college beach volleyball my retirement career. I don’t notice that this is a big high school sport in Tennessee, but maybe it’s just way off the radar. Any ideas for getting a foot in the door?
