(45,488 posts)I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particularly glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."

We gathered up and went to see the first showing in Tulsa ok. Back then no one bothered to fuck with us to see if we had any drink with us or smoke either. We were already stoned by the time we got there as it was a good hour drive from where we started from plus our party started way before the we embarked on this trip.
My sides were sore for a week after that movie.
Never did figure out why the Johnny Walker Red though as none of us drank it normally but we sure did that night
them's wur the daze...

(51,076 posts)At that point in time I didn't give a damn about much of anything anyone could do to me. i was up to whatever it was
and they wonder why some of us are why we're as we are today. I'll tell them right off, lie me into a war that we had no business being in anyway and then have the gall to ask me what's the matter bro'. Destroying a country and killing their people along with my brothers and sisters too all for a bullshit lie, yeah you can say I'm still pissed. Send us home in some cases a basket case both physically and mentally and then give us half assed health care and deny us any and everything they can. All the while hoping we'll just go away or better yet die off. Fuck a bunch of war mongers and their enablers.

Take 'em one a day or all at once, they didn't care.
I hear you, brother. I buried it all for 16 years. Tried to talk about it to my wife one time. She was a nurse and we'd been to a party for UCLA medical staff. At the party I heard a laugh box. I was with a friend on Christmas Day in Vietnam when he got a package from home with a laugh box. He got blown away a month later. i grabbed my wife and left the party and tried to tell her about it at home later. But she was a critical care nurse who dealt with death and dying every day and she didn't get it. So I bottled it back up. Ironically, she'd also gone through psych training in nursing school and she never had a clue what was going on with me.
You'll know exactly what I mean when I say I can't believe I'm still here. We're survivors, brother.
ETA: My laugh box buddy's death anniversary date was Friday, so he has been much on my mind... R.I.P. Joe Rufty, Panel 14W, Line 80
