You Know, There Are Some "Different" Folks That Live Among You Good Folks in Buna

 And I say this, there are some different people I live among here in Lemonville. Example, my neighbors had a murder in their front yard shortly after we moved here, but you know, I wouldn't trade my neighbors for anything. 

As we say in East Texas, they're "good people." They just had a bad visitor one night. And there are stories I could tell concerning this event, but I don't want to embarrass people I am quite fond of....

All this said, I have gotten some of the nuttiest emails, PMs, etc since my Facebook was reinstated. 

I am shocked at the amount of people who hate the Pope and want to me write on him about how he either isn't a Christian, or from some Catholic readers of the blog, who think that Francis is not even Catholic. ( I don't know if they are Opus Dei which is Latin for 'Work of God' or just what?)  

I have had more people in the last 2-3 months, before I was excommunicated by Meta try and convert me to their for of Christianity. 

Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics......And others. The only bunch that have not tried to convert me are the Mormons, and I think maybe it's because I ran with LDS kid when I was young and will always have a warm place in my heart for Mormons. I've always liked to talk LDS Theology with them. I think they're going to heaven whether you do or not....They also know I am not giving up caffeine. ( I am old enough to remember when Mormons didn't drink Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, or even Mountain Dew. )

There are people upset because I have Mormon friends. I don't think you know, I really like folks of the LDS faith. But I grew up with Mormons. 

There are people upset because I have atheist friends. 

And I think maybe it's because I will eat supper with anyone of any faith. 

THEN, there are the school people. 

I'm too hard on the school.... I'm not hard enough on the school. 

Why are you not talking about this concerning the school? Why ARE you talking about this concerning the ISD?

Then, I've been approached about perhaps teaching in some sort of private/parochial school  in South Jasper County. 

I've even been asked about starting, help start one.....If you really want my help, I would work as a consultant.....For a price....If you're going to start a business, and you want me to do stuff for 'nuthin' '?????

But generally..... Concerning going back into teaching....

Uh, no. 

Why?

1. I don't want to.

2. I'm retired. 

3. I'd say something to make either the church or the people running the school upset and I like my freedom to say whatever I want. 

4. The kids have changed since I retired. I could no long relate to them. 

In my next blog, I am going to drag up something from the past concerning Buna ISD, and I know there will be people who'll tell me " Let sleeping dogs lie" ( Old 14th Century English Proverb.) but I still wonder about it, and I 'Gots questions.' 

May write that blog today or tomorrow........I also have another economics blog coming and setting up a new blog designated for economics alone is harder than I remember. I may have to set one up using 'Duck, Duck,Go' as my browser.
