  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Nancy Reagan's quiet grace

We could all learn so much from this elegant and gracious lady. You
might recall that John Hinckley was a seriously deranged young man who
shot President Reagan in the early 1980's.
Hinckley was absolutely obsessed with movie star Jodie Foster, and in
his twisted mind, loved Jodie to the point that to make himself well
known to her, he attempted to assassinate President Reagan.

There is speculation Hinckley may soon be released as having been
rehabilitated. Consequently, you will appreciate the following letter
from Nancy Reagan to John Hinckley:




To: John Hinckley
From: Mrs. Nancy Reagan


My family and I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how
pleased we are with the great strides you are making in your recovery.


In our country's spirit of understanding and forgiveness, we want you
to know that we bear no grudge against you for shooting President
Reagan.


We are fully aware that mental stress and pain could have driven you
to such an act of desperation. We're confident that you will soon make
a complete recovery and return to your family to join the world again
as a healthy and productive man.



Best wishes,


Nancy Reagan & Family



P.S. While you have been incarcerated, Barack Obama has been banging
Jodie Foster like a screen door in a tornado. You might want to look
into that.

pray tell...
Ok real quick. 11 years ago, a bunch of friends and I were all playing a game, drinking too much and smoking a ton of weed. OK so not much has changed. I had only met my wife, breifly, at these parties, friend of a friend thing. We end up on the same team, of 4. The game involved giving hints without giving away the answer, like $20,000 pyramid. So the Answer we were trying to get to was Nancy Reagan. My(now) wife looks at the card and says, ironicly as I am holding a bong, “Say no to drugs”. The words had just left her lips, and I yelled out Nancy Regan. I asked her to a concert the next night and we have been together ever since.
