Awesome surfing!
Oh I'm jealous. Ken, you're going to Hawaii for vacation in January. Oh to be warm again and even better on the beach.

1845 - Dr. Crawford Williamson Long used anesthesia for childbirth for the first time, when he delivered his own child in Jefferson, Georgia.

To the best of my knowledge, it also was the first and only time a man actually gave birth!!! And yes, any man who delivered his own baby would have to be under a very strong anesthetic!
I missed the fact first time around.
I was born in Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta. Dr Crawford is one we claim as our own here even though he was born one county over. He lived most of his life here and attended UGA.

Phil, sorry to hear that.

I care! I enjoyed your butting heads with the one or two people here. It was entertaining! I also enjoyed the musical videos that you posted, especially Cher's Turn Back Time. Whoa, she's managed to do it. Hope that the hiatus isn't too long.

I too was gone for Christmas and visited my Daughter in Palm Springs where they bought me a lovely mobile home in Suncrest Country Club. I needed to go back to California and will make the move on the 20th of January. There seems less anger in California. I hadn't been back to Palm Springs since the late 50s and the growth was amazing. The airport went from am hangar and quonset hut to an "International Airport" and everyone still smiles. I came home in time to see the football game and it was cancelled! That's snow!!!

Phil--I am sure you need a break. But do come back. Although I especially loved that post you deleted. I was ready for the rumble in the jungle.

And olyve--I do surf. But more like in the greger post (a little bigger) but not like the mountain surfing I posted. That's reserved for an insane few.

And Sandy. You apostatized from the Mormon faith? Wow-that is a revelation. I don't remember you posting that before. I am sure that is a long convoluted tale of woe you suffered by following through with that. But it corresponds with you distaste for authority in general, so it does make absolute sense that you did that.

And speaking of hospitals and doctors, I too was born in the same hospital as was President Obama. Ya'll never knew I too am a Kenyan. Hmm



Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

That's not surfing - those"waves" are ankle busters.

So alphabetically she skipped Alabama? Does that mean Arkansas is next? There's no Change in Arizona, but there definitely IS Hope in Arkansas.
