    Yup, this is a bad very obvious one... not much thought went into it.

    Jen, thanks for the interview with Anita - very interesting. She got it right when she said, Elvis always had the guys and women around him before I met him - and would continue to have them around him - that is why I wouldn't ever marry him. She was referring to Priscilla divorcing him for this reason - they were there before her - would always be there - so why was she suprised?

    As for her being 14 - I was 14 and my first real boyfriend was 18 and I was madly in love and dated him for 4 years. Still hold a torch for him to this day - the "what if" factor.

    This has been great reading!

    Elvis was away a lot, and Priscilla strayed a lot, out of lonliness, or learning the American way, I don't really know
    Gosh...you learn something new everyday. I sure thought she had the American way down pat. It certainly seemed so while she was living in Austin.

    You know,

    Life is too short for all of this bitterness.

    A friend of mine, fell out of his hay loft, and died of massive head injuries, his funeral was on Thursday.

    I used to go horse riding with Bruce, he knew all the trails, he was like a father to so many people around here. He was such a good man.

    We need to be nice to each other.

    LIFE IS TOO SHORT!

    Love,
    Kim

    I agree Kim. Too much unnecessary meanness. To some it's just a game they have to win.

    In the meantime while wasting their time hurting someone, they are missing out on the wonderful important things in life...who is actually being hurt the most?

    I'm all for education; as I pushed my daughter and sons toward that goal.
    But, there seems to be something missing in the families today.

    I DO understand your ideals of "pure love." That does indeed seem to last longer and fulfills a need nothing else can. As in "loving someone just for themselves." I don't think Elvis ever had that after his mother passed.

    I agree with Genie and Cameron. Although Cam, it would have been good if the girl got to choose who she was married too, when married too young, some didn't, as we know, then she grows up .....

    Genie, I too, loved Elvis for who he was, in my case, I saw him at first, through a child's eyes, my eyes, watching his eyes. Fascinated. His being, his life force generated all around him, I recognised him, his aura. I still remember that moment, so vividly. I can sense and feel your love for him.

    Pure love is hard to find. A fulfilling love. Watching for every word the one whom you love says, caring for their well being in every way, like you do your own children, obviously, in a different way. Still pure love. The same in return. Pure love for the person, is very fulfilling, if found. A kiss, 'everything will be alright'.

    sometimes things don't come out the right way, other times, I have posted exactly what I feel is the truth...right or wrong, what difference does it make now? So get off your high horses and just think for a while...you might learn something new.
    No one person has all the facts, and a lot of what is posted is merely "Opinions" some are laughable, inaccurrate and the only people who know the truth about any given thing is Elvis and "Cilla...although I doubt if the truth smacked her right in the face, she would know what that was... nomore than you seem to. Now, carry on....

    I've talked to a lot of people that knew both Elvis and Priscilla.
    Most don't want identified. They don't want "fame nor want it in a book. "
    Some don't want things told because of client priviledge.
    There's no way I'd say anything they told me.

    I'd be careful calling anyone a liar.
    Usually, a liar and a thief exposes themselves.

    Well said, Cameron. Thank you. It might surprise some fans, that Elvis has fans/friends who don't have an ego! They care for Elvis.

    Some have had enough, and won't talk at all to anyone. It's a shame, sad, really. Or, they know how they will be treated, and so won't say a thing. In affect, some of Elvis' fans, shut themselves in the foot, when they could be hearing about him.

    I'm sorry but coming on a board and telling people to shut up is supposed to gain what???? You said Priscilla was German - correct me if I'm wrong? I do not believe in the last 40 years I've heard she was from Germany or had to learn to do things the American way. What truth are you talking about smacking who in the face?? Priscilla??? If you made a mistake and it came out wrong that she was from Germany - just say so but don't be telling people to shut up - you should clear up what you started before you jump on people for questioning your errors.
    I've been called a liar many times concerning Elvis but it sure doesn't stop me from telling my stories. I'm not out to make a buck but I DO ENJOY passing on the stories I have while I'm here. I don't understand why others feel the need to keep it to themselves? People enjoy hearing from the fans who were there. So, if you were really there as a fan OR MORE then feel free to tell us some of the GOOD STUFF - we're always looking to hear about that! It's a shame more don't spread the GOOD STUFF!!! Seems like the only ones who want to share are the ones with the CRAP!!!

    You are loved by the way....and I don't care who you are/were or may be...I love you and I understand everything you've tried to say..while some people laugh..I'm not laughing.


    It's never too late to take your own advice.

    So...is that the problem? You messed up with Pris being a German and instead of admitting you made an error you decide to be rude and tell members to shut up?? as you said above it's OK to admit you were wrong.

    I wasnīt there but itīs not difficult to see they didnīt love each other, didnīt accept each others character and to me thatīs not loving someone as a couple. I donīt say they didnīt care for each other but not so much or in that way.

    I seem to follow the paths that the two of you are carving out.

    That's what makes you and I different from some Gail. We lived our stories, they were real, so therefore we are able to tell them with details. The ones that come on with vague, generic statements are quite often nothing but charlatans. You and I have been telling the real stories now for months and months and months, but we suddenly have a new Elvis Chief of Police. Ya know what I mean? yeh, I thought you did. I think you and I can start a thread dealing with the fleeting footsteps of friendships, and add a little more jibberish. One thing no one has ever accused us of is being naive. And, we don't suffer from VPS..better known as Vanishing Post Syndrome.
