Ray's Ramblings... Pass It On!

Hello Everyone;

   Thank you for reading my rambles.  I am still amazed that anyone reads them.  I am even more amazed that anyone leaves a comment.  But what amazes me most is that someone will ask me to add them to my distribution list.

   This happened recently... at a funeral!  I will respect this distinguished gentlemen's privacy and not name him.

   Suffice it to say, I was somewhat shocked.  Flattered... and shocked.  Mostly flattered...but shocked.

   Others have asked to be added.  It happens from time to time.  Someone will forward a ramble to someone else and then they want to be added.  I can prove it.  Consider this...

   This very blog is a result of someone sending my cousin Susan a ramble.  ( My guess is that Monica is to be blame.)  Susan asked me to add her... which I was glad to do.  And the next thing I know my little ramble is now a BLOG.

   So, feel free to pass these on to whomever you wish.  Perhaps you know someone who might enjoy reading the insanity I call Rambles.

For example:

   Sitting in Cracker Barrel in Beckley, WV and our waitress informing us of the following and I quote:  "I am deaf in one ear so I have to turn my head to this side to hear you."  "I am a widow with three kids and one of them is a special needs child."  My wife mentioned to her that my dad and I were both pastors and we would pray for her.   Upon hearing this our waitress replied..."Oh, I Love going to church but I don't get to go very often because I am the sole supporter of three kids - one who is a special needs child."

   I thought will somebody please put a bucket under me!  I just got MILKED!  That waitress knew how to milk people for tips!  She was a pro!  And when I began to complain to Jenene about her behavior, she shamed me for thinking that way.  The waitress gave average service at best, but after that hard luck story, I had to leave a little extra tip.  Down deep I am really very soft hearted.

   There you have it.  Ray's Ramblings... a day in the life.  If it made you smile - pass it on.

Thanks and well talk more later,

Lanny Ray
