JUST WONDERING.............?
Since I came onboard with Ron on the web site and putting pictures, writing articles and finding articles to put on the Longview Hills web site. I looked back to when Ron first started this web site, Ron has brought this site a long ways and done a outstanding job in building it for all to enjoy. That doesn't only include the residents who live in this community, but many others from around the globe clicks on this site if not daily, but weekly to see what is going on here. Ron, deserves a very big kudo for this and many other great things he has got going here, example........emergency light system on the lamp post, putting numbers on the globes, these tools help the emergercy response teams to find your house a lot easier at night. Take time one night and drive around here on the hill to see how hard it is to read the house numbers on the houses themselfs and then you will see the importance of having them. Plus Ron, has with many others help got the computer lab up and running this last month or so, also has gotten management to pay for the wire-less cost each month. There has been a lot of interest show from residents who want to learn how to use a computer and others are there to teach them. They could be sitting in front of the TV, reading a book or just doing what every makes there life relaxing. But no, they are doing all this for YOU, the resident. We do not want a pat on the back or any awards, we do this because we enjoy doing for others and able to see the enjoyment they receive from what we do. I know my wife and I have only been on the hill for less than five years, but I've seen changes up here since we've been here. Onething about living at LVH's, if you want to be involved then you can, if you don't, then there is no pressure from anyone to become involved. But remember it's up to all of us to make this a better place to live and one we can be very proud of and for others to follow in our steps. We've got a lot of wonderful people living here and have seen a lot of new residents move in this past year, at one time there were over 30 houses for sale, now I only see one at this time. It's time for me to get off the soap box and hope I haven't step out of bounds, but I mean well. The writers of this web site, Ron, Donna and myself ask that if you have any suggestions, comments or ideas to make living up here better. Let us know via the comments at the bottom of each article or send us a e-mail message, which you will find our address at the end of the listings on the left hand side of this web site. Hope you've taken time to read this and I wish everyone the very best. Enjoy life to the fullest, while you can.

With respect.......Charles Burke :)

Interesting!!
Can you read these right the first time?
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I ha d to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plu! ral of booth, beeth One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese One index, 2 indices Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call itIf teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat. Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a pla y and play at a recital Ship by truck and send cargo by ship Have noses that run and feet that smell.How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a lang! uage in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fi ll in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick".

There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is "UP."It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report. We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP. When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP, so........... Time to shut UP.....!
