Just wondering–phone, laughter, love,place and sex | Filed under General
Where does time go, I have no idea here it is Wednesday again time for another Wednesday’s Wonderings. It is another opportunity to love, to live, to feel and see all the gifts that I’ve been given, and to share this great place with the many great people in my life! Yes that means you that visit with me here on “Our Porch” Now come in get comfortable, grab a drink, and watch out for Karen if you have lemonade. Be sure to try some of Melissa’s butterscotch squares, lean in listen to the words of wisdom from Bubba, talk a little politics with Wanda or the Fat Lady Sings and I feel certain you might will disagree with David. Walk around the corner and find Bob’s Harem, where you will find some special ladies such as Tracey, Jude, Deb, Carol Dee, Dawn, Margaret, Kris, and Karen meeting with our photographer Gary discussing the plans for the calendar you dream of. If you are not careful some confusion will set in with harem meetings that are going on but make no mistake Gray Biker’s is louder. It is after all made up of the ladies who some might call biker chicks or want to be such as Phoenix, Windfall Woman, and of course Karen. GB has a many other members of his harem but they do not visit Our Porch so here it is just a small group and he always gives us special attention. Bob has others that are in the initiation state with him and visit Our Porch so I have not listed them as members of his harem but I feel it is only a matter of time. If you just keep moving you will find many other nice people here that you can pull up a seat and set a spell with.
Wednesday is almost over but I still have a few things on my mind to wonder about here so here we go, don’t be shy.
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
Of course you know that because some of you happen to be on the other end of the phone with me from time to time.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
Good humour, so I can always count on Bob and Karen
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes you might find them at the wrong time of your life or his life but there is someone out there for everybody
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Having moved back to my hometown, The Little River Bend in Georgia, there is nothing special here so you would get a tour of the school I attended, the place I received my first kiss, where my mom and dad grew up, the strip I cruised as a teenager, and the church I attended as a child. This tour would open your eyes to more of Ms. Vickie, the Southern Belle
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No the discussion of sex should not be taboo when held in the right place and at the right time. There is a certain amount of teasing that takes place here but it is my hope no one feels uncomfortable and it will not go much further than you have seen here. I am a passionate female and am not uncomfortable discussing passion, flirting, and teasing for that are a part of who I am but I am not just a Southern Belle but a Southern Lady.
I know you have a few things on your mind now so don’t just set there, talk about them. Share them, leave them here for me to find when I return tomorrow after I visit my physician. Until the next time share your love with your family and friends.

1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
nope.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
life makes me laugh. The funny things that I get myself into.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Of course there is.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Depends are you afraid of heights?
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
heck no. The only time I am uncomfortable about sex is when I get a cramp.
Your phone is going to ring.
Bubba, Those cramps do it every time don’t they?
Thank you for the recent call, you are a great friend–as we walk or shall I say struggle to walk similiar paths in life you have added so much to mine in a short time. Hoping all is well on the west coast, tell Wendy hi.
BTW, no I’m not afraid of heights.

1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
Not a lot. I get some calls work related and a few from the harem girls. Most of mine is email.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
Myself. I usually end up doing or writing something that makes me snicker.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes but I don’t think there is only one.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Indian Springs is nearby my place. Its one of the oldest state parks. We would drink some spring water just like the creek indians did there.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No its not taboo. Its does not make me uncomfortable to speak of it. I’d rather be personally involved though.
GB, After our trip to Indian Springs could we go right over to High Falls, this is a place of many memories from my childhood. A place my family camped at often. My dad would always say before he died he wanted to go back there one more time but I never knew that until after his death. A place I will be visiitng for several reasons, the memories from my childhood, a beautiful place, a good place to meet a photographer for some great pictures we have talked about and just a place to enjoy nature….right after Indian Springs.
Stay off the phone with the harem girls when working, oh I forgot I know who you work for and for every 8 hours there 2 hours of work is expected.
I can say that because I also worked for another one and they (the employer) told me that was the way things went.
February 9th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
Okay, okay, okay why would anyone disagree with me? Am I that conservative?
Talking about sex should not be taboo but it is in this household - not my choice.
David, Did I say that, on no not me
Many find talking and discussing sex difficult and from there it becomes taboo. Something that should not happen. Sorry that is the case in your house.
Hope you have a nice weekend, my friend.
February 9th, 2006 at 2:07 pm
1. Phone: not as much as I’d like, you know I enjoy our chats, giggles, belly laughs, and support.
2. Laughs: Jokes, puns, you, Bob, and too many others to count. Slips of the tongue (wait - those do more than make me laugh) or phrases that sound dirty but aren’t meant that way. I get into a lot of trouble trying to hold in my *snickers* at work.
3. Someone: Yes, definitely. It has to be the right time though.
4. Sights: I’d take you for a drive through all the mountains around here, through canyons, around lakes and by rivers.
5. Sex: NO it shouldn’t be taboo, it’s a natural thing and it’s the reason we’re all on this earth. I do joke about sex a lot (well the lack of!) but it is a very intimate experience to me. I’m finally comfortable with my sexuality and who I am so it doesn’t bother me to talk about it at all and you know me, I’m always looking for new things to learn. Now to just put the book learnin’ to work. LOL You’re right too - there is a time and place for talking about it, as well as doing it.
Your humor is wonderful and you don’t make me uncomfortable at all. Keep it up. Well, you know what I mean…
Love & hugs!!
P.S. I LOVE that cat pic!! LOL
Karen, Our phone calls add much laughter for both o us even tears at times for we laugh so hard. You know one thing that does not go together, sex, taboo, and Mormon…Oh wait I got it…If Mormon sex could be taboo?
This was just for you and you know my true feelings about things there.
You add so much to my life, thanks my friend, I send you huggs and love.
February 9th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
Too much; sometimes the receiver is stuck to the side of my face. Not a pretty accessory to have dangling from your head as you grocery shop. (just teasing)
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
The crazy questions of my children, my own knuckle-headed mistakes. Ms. Vickie and the other wonderful people Ive met through the blogs.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Definitely. Youll find each other when you least expect it.
4. . Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
The Devils Backbone. Its part of the Texas Hill Country. The hills and the valleys there are so beautiful, it takes my breathe away.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No. I dont think sex is a taboo subject, and talking about it here doesnt bother me at all. J
Thanks fo the mention, youre so sweet!
Hugs,
Deb, It is always great when we laugh at ourself but from what I have seen of you, you are a great lady. Devil’s point well now I need to think on that, would that be located to Bush’s place? You know I think I saw hiw picture in the dictionary when I looked up Devil.
BTW, I agree there are some very beautiful places in Texas. You ae a neat lady and a link is just one small thing to show my appreciation.
February 9th, 2006 at 5:17 pm
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
I’m on it quite a bit in my job, although email has cut that significantly. When I go home, I have very little desire to squawk on it further. Never was much for small talk.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
Why I make me laugh. I’m funnier than hell. Oh yeah, there’s my apple headed Siamese rag doll cat Sarge.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
The proof is in the pudding.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Well I’ve only lived here for a couple years - its been a long time since I visited my home town. I have a nice couple acre pond in front of my property that gives me peace and comfort on a warm sunny day.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
Definitely not taboo. A little teasing and flirting is a fun slice of life.
Randy, You are a dear one and to be able to laugh at yourself with all you face is a quality I admire. I’ll visit you just for the trip to the pond and a ride on the bike—never mind scratch the last I w’ll visit you for the trip to the pond. I know why no one else is welcome to ride the bike with you. You are one of my bikers I would never ask to take me for a ride even though it is something I really want. I might have you convience one of your friends to give me a ride though.
Here have a slice of life and enjoy.
You are special Randy
February 9th, 2006 at 5:41 pm
I’m finally getting caught up. Do I still have a spot on the porch?
FTS, Yes of course you have a place on the porch, just not the rocking chair.:lol:
February 9th, 2006 at 6:12 pm
Ah Miss Vickie, a visit on your porch is just what I need from time to time!
Shall we begin?
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
No not really, just short calls at times mostly. Having been a receptionist most of my working life, I don’t like to still attach a phone to my ear when I’m not working too.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
A great sense of humour, and myself. I can laugh at myself easily, thank goodness, because my silliness is a great source of laughter sometimes. *snicker*
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes I sure do. But I don’t think it’s only one person either.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
After a trip to West Edmonton Mall (the world’s largest indoor mall) I’d take you a few hours west of here to see our beautiful Rocky Mountains. There is something about being in those mountains that makes one feel even closer to God.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No it should never be taboo, but it should also be tasteful and open. I think there is a time and place for everything, and no it doesn’t make me uncomfortable on here at all.
Hope you have a good day Vickie, and good luck tomorrow! ((hugs))
Jude, welcome again now I understand why no phone calls to you.
So glad you are able to laugh with and at yourself. You know me—wow a mall and the mountains and not just any mall the world’s largest indoor mall.
Thank you for brinigng out something very important, yes there is someone out there for everyone and there is not just one for many. You are truly my Soul Sister.
February 9th, 2006 at 7:33 pm
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
Yes, I do. I have unlimited long distance and let my fingers do the walking !
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
Karen can have me in stiches !
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes, I do. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right person.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Our tea room. I think you would really enjoy it !
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No, and NO !!
I hope your appointment goes well !!
*HUGS*
Welcome again Dawn, I have a similar plan but it also includes Canada and I use it
It would be nice to visit the tea room with you and just imagine if we were able to add Karen , we might get thrown out.
Thanks for the wishes on the appointment.
February 9th, 2006 at 9:22 pm
Okay, I don’t know how to do all those special thingys in Haloscan comments like italics and bold, but I’ll give you the answers anyways…. But before I do, loved that cat picture and it’s caption, so appropriate for this last week
1. Much time on the phone?
Of course….sometimes just not with the right person….
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
My kids first and Shannon next. Of course that ties into #1.
3.Is there someone out there for everybody?
Oh, this answer could be so flippant. We are all out there for each other. But a “special” someone out there? Of course, but as you’ve already said, timing and right space is so important. (((hugs)))
4. One place to take you to see if you came to visit here?
The Ranch so I could sing you a love song.
5. Sex a taboo subject, on here, or uncomfortable?
No, No, and No. and not even any buts…. well unless you count my cute one….
Now about that cat….
Joe, As for the cat..you were smiling
The Ranch would be so much fun to visit but you would not get to just sing to me, remember once you promised me a dance on the cruise Brian was going to take his blogger friends on l)
You are a special person and one day the right person will be there for you but stop looking.
Sending you special thoughts and love my friend.
February 9th, 2006 at 10:47 pm
I love that cat picture.
Very cute!!
Teresa, glad you enjoyed the picture.
February 10th, 2006 at 2:59 am
1. No, very little actually.
2. My hound and dry British humour
3. Most likely
4. The Giant Forest in the Sierra Nevadas
5. No, it’s cool.
TGIF!
Ben, Oh the hounds make many laugh and I am one that is lucky to share them with. Thank you for that.
A little secret Ben from the pictures you have shared at times, just let me gaze out your window and watch the beautiful sunsets you have and I’d be next to heaven—so peaceful those pictures are. Of course now I’d never say no to the Giant Forest in Sierra Nevadas with you as my guide for I know that would be an adventure.
Thanks for being you Ben my friend.
February 10th, 2006 at 2:26 pm
1. time on the phone…
nope, not usually
2. what makes me laugh
all the little things in life
3.someone for everyone
absolutely. we just need to quit looking in the wrong places and for the wrong reasons.
4. place to take you to visit
the quiet spot in my backyard to watch the clouds chase over the mountains, the birds sing and fly through all the trees, and the horses run and play in the field.
5. talking sex taboo?
As long as it’s talked about in a respectful and tasteful manner I believe it’s healthy to talk about it. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable in the least.
Have a great day my friend!
*hugs*
Trace, My friend you do not know just what you have come to mean to me in a short time. Very special you are and one who so understands. Thanks for being you and I would love the quiet spot in your backyard. Do not be surprised if one day it happens.
Sending you special love my friend.
February 10th, 2006 at 7:58 pm
1.Do you spend much time on the phone?
I would say no but my daughter would tell you differently…so…yes.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
My children. I love my middle child’s laugh…it’s so infectious.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
I think so; sometimes I’m not sure.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
A hockey game.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No, it shouldn’t be taboo; no, it doesn’t make me uncomfortable.
Hi Monica my friend, Jeremy knows laughter is good for the soul and was given a gift of an infectious laugh which is great and you recognizing it makes it a more special gift. Tell him hello for me, you know he is special to me, yes all your children are but he more than the other two just because—
I would love to attend a hockey game with you that is for certain. I forgot to ask if I might should get a secret blog?
Sending you special thoughts and love, my friend.
February 11th, 2006 at 2:10 am
1. Do you spend much time on the phone? Yes. Right now, I’m consulting with a Public Relations firm on an assignment basis and that requires a lot of talking to make sure we are on deadline and otherwise the “same page”.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
The great Blogs I read where someone is hysterical makes my day lighter. I also amuse myself by falling or tripping more than President Ford.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes, I really do. But Timing and Opportunity must come together.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
An area of town called Mount Adams which is a small scale of San Francico and about 2 miles square. It is here where my Idie film was produced.
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
No. I think sex can be humorous, silly, romantic or a little deviant but not to embarass anyone or shame anyone.
I know you have a few things on your mind now so dont just set there, talk about them. Share them, leave them here for me to find when I return tomorrow after I visit my physician. Until the next time share your love with your family and friends.
Basically, Southern Belle, like you I am very open and tolerant of people with differing views on subjects ranging from Politics and Religion (two subjects I could care less about) to what color makes people feel better. I encourage dialogue among people regardless of background, religion, gender, sex all of that sort of thing. As long as a person is of “goodwill” and is genuine about being kind to others and making a contribution to the world, I feel they have a right to be heard. We can agree to disagree on some things, but agree on the value of being heard.
Michael, You are a delight to have here on “Our Porch” the views you share I have found to be some that I find myself nodding with so many times. Of course that smile of yours is very charming as well and I have a feeling places people very much at ease with you. Now for the visit, you have described a place I would enjoyvery much seeing. Thank you for being you a great person.
Keep on so I can hear you.
February 11th, 2006 at 2:53 am
Since when do I know how to make butterscotch squares? *googles the recipe for future reference* BTW check out what I found online tonight. hehehe Sweet N Sassy still lives in some form.
1. Do you spend much time on the phone?
I have since I got my new blue tooth ear piece for my PINK phone.
2. Who or what makes you laugh?
Chris is a really good person to make me chuckle or smile.
3. Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Yes I do. I’ve always believed in the two halves to make a whole theory.
4. Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
The Imperial Theatre to see Steel Magnolias!!!
5. Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
Since when have I ever felt sex was a taboo subject. Come on you know me better than that Ms. Vickie!
Mel, I figured I might send you running to the kitchen to learn how to make butterscotch squares. Of course Sweet N Sassy will always live on in many forms. I will always be sweet n sassy for that is very much a part of who I am. You know I want to Steel Magnolias.
Hope all is well in your world this weekend.
February 11th, 2006 at 4:18 am
I spend very little time on the phone. I used to talk for hours, but for some reason I don’t do that anymore. I kinda miss it.
What makes me laugh? Well these day a lot more things than before. I find humor in some of the strangest places. I think watching a man make a fool of himself (in a good way) over a woman or a dog, is just so funny and sweet. For instance I have a ‘friend’ who insists his dog can sing. I love watching him trying to get that ole hound dog to ’sing’. It just cracks me up.
I do believe there is someone out there for everyone. Unfortunately I did meet my someone at the wrong time. At least the first time around. Maybe this time we can make it work.
There isn’t much to see here in Podunt. But if you came to visit I’d take you down to my favorite spots in P.C. and Ft. Walton. I know we’d have a ball.
Sex a taboo subject? Never. Whatever two (or more) people are comfortable talking about is their business. If someone is uncomfortable then they can leave or ask you to change the subject.
I hope things went well with the doc.
Ms. Wanda So glad things make you laugh easier these days. I love the path you are own my friend. Continue the journey and become the person you want to me and not the one you think others want you to be. Please yourself, keep on loving you> Yes Wanda you are on the right road.
February 11th, 2006 at 5:23 am
Havent we been here before? Seems kinda familiar lets see what we come up with this go round!
Do you spend much time on the phone?
Only when talking to my best friend Amy.
Who or what makes you laugh?
Depends on what happens to tickle my funny bone. I must say my critters are a constant source of amusement.
Do you think there is someone out there for everybody?
Depends on what youre looking for. I dont believe in singularities. Like Og the Leprechaun says in Finians Rainbow If youre not with the one you love; just love the one youre with!
Name one place, if I came to visit you where you currently live that you would take me to see?
Theres a funky little place down the road that hosts Bluegrass music every other week. Its tends toward the right but the musics just fine.
Do you think sex should be a taboo subject, how about on here and does it make you uncomfortable to talk about it?
Honey If I can manage to handle listening to my friends recitation of her and her boyfriends relationship in glorious Technicolor I can handle most anything!
Oh yes FLS, You have been here before and these days it seems things like this are easier for me to do then other writing. So just a different little twist as in different questions.
Your friend Amy is blessed and I am certain she realizes it. If I visited your town just meeting you and chatting would be a delight for you are a lady that I am inspired by. Thanks for being you.:)
