Hello popeye.rvpopeye said:
No, this is the only RV forum I yam on, and I yam only been in the van world for about a year. I tracked down the vandwellerforum, and seen the YARC section. Will have to read over there, and also go back in this thread ... to see what all the commotion is about. I yam also seeing that several CRVL members are over there, and they yare allowing politico discussions over there, so the YARCers can vent a bit. All good.

Dear Mr. Popeye,
While I'd liked to have joined the YARC Club by simply agreeing with others, it's not right. I won't even attempt to claim that constitutes becoming a member of the YARC (though it might...)
I don't usually tell this Story as my mother asked me to stop telling it, 47 years ago.
My older sister was every teacher's dream. Nancy was smart, pretty and athletic. She could also sing like an angel. Each year the choir director would send a message to our mother that she could not wait until I graduated from Jr. High to High School so I could join her choir and also a Club she sponsored for nice young ladies.
To give you an idea of how different my sister and I were - while Nancy was taking piano lessons, I was taking the money my parents had given me to pay Mrs. Pluess and I was paying some old guy to let me ride his horse across the parade field in front of Mrs. Pluess's house. Mrs. Pluess and I had a deal - neither of us would tell...?
Anyway, the day came when I graduated to High School. I showed up at the choir teacher's door and she met me there. She embraced me and told me how happy she was to finally have Nancy's sister in her choir. She asked me to sing for her. To audition.
I was puzzled at why Mrs. Seale was tearing-up during my audition. I thought I was pulling off a great rendition of "Oh, What A Beautiful Doll". But Mrs. Seale looked awfully sad. And that's a happy song!
My sister couldn't keep her emotions in tact, either. Nancy had a bit of an attitude, at times.
After the school nurse released Mrs. Seale to come back to class, I asked her if she thought I was an 'alto' or a 'soprano'. Mrs. Seale looked puzzled. My sister tried to intervene by telling Mrs. Seale that we had both been taking piano lessons from Mrs. Pluess and that I would probably be happier playing the piano for the choir.
Oh, dear...
Anyway, make a long story short -
Mrs. Seale asked if I was sure I did not want to take an art class or a jewelry making class instead of choir. I told her I would but that I most definitely could not because, more than anything, I wanted to be a member of her Nice Young Ladies Club!
Mrs. Seale seemed excited or exasperated. One of the two...
"Liv, I will make an exception just for you. You may become a Nice Young Lady without having to be in my Choir."
"Oh, yes, please! What do I have to do?"
"Simply relay an incident where you had to rely on being a nice young lady."
Well, I thought about it and then I remembered when -
"One day our New Orleans-born Creole grandmother discovered photographs of young women whom our grandfather had known while serving in Brussels during the Great War. When the US Army found out that Grandpapa spoke a peculiar type of French, he was reassigned from submarine duty to be a War Correspondent for our Government. I knew this because Grandpapa spent his twilight years drinking brandy and reminiscing to we grandchildren about the perks of his duties.
"Well, after Grandpapa died, Grandmama found about 100 photographs Grandpapa kept safe in a box under their bed. They were all of naked women - in various poses."
"Liv, how does this prove you were or are a Nice Young Lady?"
"Well, I don't want to tattle but when our mother heard about her papa's photo collection, Mother said mean things. Nancy didn't handle it any better, telling Grandmama she should write a letter to Grandpapa even through he was likely in you-know-where and wouldn't know the difference or care. Well, I took a more lady-like approach."
"What pray-tell do you mean?"
"Well, I'll tell you. I spread out each of those photographs and to make our dear grandmother feel better, I noted the posture of each one of those women, accordingly."
That, Mr. Popeye, was the very first I'd ever I heard of the YARC.
Let me know how my application goes, soon as you know.
If this doesn't get me in, I'd like to agree someone in a previous post, please.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Liv

Nowwwwwww
THAT'S a story of "Ain't Rightness" fer sure !
Sums uv us iz just "Ain't Right" frum da beginnin'
You're a natural. No training required
Your "Stinkin' Badge" .
I know a lot of musicians that spent their music lesson money on something else....sometimes it's just the wiser choice !
As a musician , I thank you for your choice back then!
I'm sure that chorus teacher enjoyed the audition very much , and too bad her plan B didn't work out so well . Hope she had a plan C !
For that alone I hereby award you the "Special Whatever Cluster".

Liv has to audition to get into YARC, cause she's so sweet. Like a little pohtaytoe. But I can just act like my normal self. To the untrained ear, I sound normal, but if a vote were taken amongst CRVL forum members who have read my posts, I'm be elected a YARC Board Member in a quick flash.rvpopeye said:
You notice how HDR gave me special note. I don't need to paint no pictures. I don't need to strike no poses. This ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around. I've changed my hair style so many times now, I don't know what I look like.

Congratulations, Liv...
I didn't get a badge so I guess I don't know the rules of entry into the club.
I should probably go back and read the entire thread to find out what's really going on in here, but since we're on page 166, that's probably not going to happen.

Just the fact that you actually want to be in got you that far...yeah it's that easy.
(Usually)
I didn't realize your first post was actually your story of "Ain't Rightness" .
They typically are a bit more ,,,,errr as Grace Jones called herself in Mad Max Stran--ge' !
It sounded more like a complaint about the wording of getting "rid" of a dog to me at the time.
Was that the moment you realized "You Ain't Right" ? I thought there may be more to it. As you will see if you do read more of the thread .
(Reading it all is not required , it just sort of gets you in the groove.)
Are you by any chance a musician ?

Thanks. TA. I got a badge! I even got a special whatever cluster. I can't tell on this small screen but the SWC looks like a group of long necked ducks wearing green bandanas. :huh:

I used to play the guitar but no longer am much good at it because I set it aside for many years while I was raising my children. However - I do own a buffalo drum and like to go into remote mountain areas to play it loudly - to try to attract Bigfoot. Does that help qualify me?

@RVPopeye: "...Rowan Pleading a fifth of what ?..."
Hmm, well I know that alcohol comes in fifths. Except, I don't really drink much at all sooo.
Actually, I once lived over a liquor store and when my landlord (who owned the liquor store) went on vacation for 3 weeks I filled in for him at the store for 3 weeks off my rent. Except, I didn't know a fifth from a pint or what was Gin, Whiskey, Bourbon etc and I have never smoked so I didn't know the brands or anything. All of the customers had to point in the general direction and then play hot or cold until I found what they wanted. This is a lot harder than it sounds, when half the customers came in already drunk and apparently seeing double.
