I would like to take this moment to express my obsession with Marilyn Monroe's version of the song "A Fine Romance." I know everyone is going to say "shut up about Marilyn Monroe, Mairi" but it is a truly awesome song. The trumpets are excellent, and her voice is spot on, but the best part of it is the lyrics- because they're actually ponting out all the things wrong with the relationship! the term "A Fine Romance" is being used sarcastically.
Seriously, go download it!

I am so very grateful to be recieving this Academy Award for Best Actress. First of all, I would like to thank God for giving me this wonderful gift and allowing me to share it with the world. I would also like to thank my mom and dad, who always believed in me, and my best friend Erin, who never belived in me but I still like her anyways. Of course, I also want to thank my fans for supporting me and coming to my movies!
And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank my husband Paul McCartney for always being right there by my side during the hectic filming. I love you Paul!

(Just practicing.)

Since I live in an island of the Portuguese archipelago Azores, though, there is no McDonald's here. Just Pizza Hut and Burger King. They do have McDonald's on the mainland, though.

Stupid server won't open ANOTHER page. And that's not good, especially if you're watching a list of the 100 hottest females ever, according to FHM (pictures included).

And how the hell wasn't Britney Spears included? I'm about to complain...

What do you do to people who don't return their books in on time?

*shivers* Maybe I don't want to know.

Once borrowed a few jazz cds and didn't bother to return them for awhile. It really adds up- $42 dollars US!!!!

I still owe the library 15 dollars and they won't let me borrow books until I only have 10 dollars left in fines.

It would have been cheaper jsut to buy the damn cds.

Wellll..... okay. This may seem petty to other people, but it is not to me.

Okay, I am not a vain person. I mean, I don't have anything to be vain about, so why should I be vain, right? But there is one thing I liked about myself... my long, thick, luxurious hair. Of course this just drives my mother crazy because she doesn't like long hair (part of this may be due to the fact that she has short, brittle hair, and she is jealous of me) she has been nagging me to cut my hair for ages but I never do because that is the only thing I ever f***ing liked about myself. I used to get compliments on it all the time!!!! But she dragged me into the stupid hair salon and made me get it cut and now it's way too f***ing SHORT!!! It used to be down to my waist and now it's like... a little below my collarbones. I spent four years of my life growing that hair and it was just f***ing ripped away from me in 10 minutes.

Meatloaf is cool, ya know he was in Rocky? For the life of me I'll never understand why Eddie got murdered. I think Frank was jealous that he couldn't ride a motorbike (because of those heels..) and maybe because of this inane jealousy he figured the best solution was murder. I haven't really got an idea. But I'm willing to bet it was because of his incapability to ride a motorbike...

Then Frank's like 'oh don't be sad, it was a mercy killing...' something like that.

I don't even remember mint chocolate chip back then....in the olden days. The days before cell phones and desk top computers. We had it so hard you know. Having to entertain ourselves with Pong and Pac Man. Walking in the snow with our capezios and leg warmers with nothing but our bright Swatches on our wrists to keep us happy. So sad.

There, a bunch a random thoughts all strung together.

Back in MY day, Polly Pocket used to actually fit in your pocket! And she didn't have all of these fancy accessories. And we didn't have iPods either. We had to make do with burning our MP3s to CD's!
Not to mention, we didn't have DVDs. We had to actually rewind our cassette tapes!
Oh, and we had One Saturday Morning, one of the best cartoon lineups ever.

BTW, I was joking when I said we had it hard. Far from it. I think we were one of the most spoiled generation of kids out there. Which is why reality was a really hard concept to relate too. I still don't think I've gotten it down quite right yet.

There were sell-out hippie yuppies and there were young yuppies too. But I wasn't saying that YOU were one! (grin) Ever hear that joke...

A yuppie is driving down the road, yapping on his new cell phone when he crashes into a street lamp. "My BMW!" he cries. " My beautiful BMW!"
A police officer walks by and says, "You've more to worry about than your car. Your arm was just torn off!"
"My Rolex watch!" cries the yuppie. "My beautiful Rolex!"

Polly Pocket?? Never heard of her. But I'm sure you've never heard of Tiffany Tuesday. The doll with the reversable hair! Oh, and Cher dolls. So great. I once hung it up in the refridgerator so that when someone opened the door it would fly out at them. That's how scary THAT doll was! BTW, I feel so sad for you having to go through all the trouble of burning those cd's. We only had to sit by the radio for hours and hours waiting for a song you liked to come on so you could TAPE it on a crappy little cassete tape!! Boy, did I appreciate that mix when it was done. Heh, also, if this doesn't make ou sad, I don't know what will, I actually had to tape the Yellow Submarine on one of those cassette tapes because we didn't even have VCR's yet!!!! Ah!! ;D

Wow, a Cher doll. That does sound frightening. o_O

I remember holding a tape recorder up to the TV speakers during the Little Mermaid, so I could have it on tape and listen to it in the car like a freakin' radio play. I thought I was the only kid who ever did that.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Sondra on September 17, 2005, 03:01:07 AM
OMG. I did that all the time. My little blue tape recorder was like the greatest gift I ever got. I taped everything!! I actually found one of my old tapes, and I was going on to one of my friends about music class and some annoying kids screaming to the teacher, "Put Ozzy on! Put Ozzy on!."  That poor teacher. I can't believe how fast I used to talk. What was that about?

Hahaha. You should hear me talking. No one can understand me half the time. They think I'm french or something.

I taped things alllll the time, like ALF reruns and once me and my sister made up a Salmon Preservation Society and acted like important adults. My mom wasn't very happy when Isobel taped over her John Allan Cameron tape with Sailor Moon, though.

I think we might still have some of those tapes, I must dig them up. I'd be nice to hear her voice.

LOL, once me and my friend made a really stupid tape which was just basically us talking in incredibly fake Irish accents and making crunching sounds with cookies. I must have been about 7 or 8, because we were listening to B*witched at the time. Ah, B*witched...

I don't agree. I'm alive and kicking. There's interesting discussions, great material on the bootlegforums, nicer people than anywhere else on Beatlesforums. I'm sorry you're upset about Mike Myers playing Keith Moon, I don't see the link between those two. But on the other hand, I don't really care.
By the way, there's quite some posting already on your new thread 'Paul's song of the moment'.

Yep, that's right, Sandra ... Paul's Song Of The Moment seems to be a very sucessful thread! ...

So I was hanging around and checked out the new Rolling Stone (Cat Power was in it ;-D). I totally bypassed who was on the cover, but after scanning I noticed it was Kanye West. He was wearing a crown of thorns and the title read "The Passion of Kanye West." I couldn't control my laughter for a minute and put the magazine down. This whole media Kanye West obsession is really funny. So he rapped a mediocre song about Jesus and made some stupid remarks against Bush, but comparing him to Christ is excessive. And that's basically my celebrity bashing for today.

Hey, I think gay people can married in a couple of our states! I've heard about some issues with censorship from the government up there in Canada. I don't know that much about it, so I won't really comment. Did you ever see John Stewart's stand up routine? His comment about Americans and Canada made me laugh. It's so true. Not saying it's a good thing, just funny. When he says it anyway.

Also:

As of September 2005 in the United States, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts recognizes same-sex marriage, while California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Vermont grant persons in same-sex unions a similar legal status to those in a civil marriage by domestic partnership, civil union or reciprocal beneficiary laws.

That's actually very true. lol, it's not that I don't like the US, but it's my requirement as a Canadian to be bitter about the whole elephant/mouse thing.

Maybe you've heard of Rick Mercer? He's the original Jon Stewart except he takes shots at both the Conservatives, the Liberals, (and the NDP and Bloc Quebecois when convenient). Anyway, he used to do this great "Talking to Americans" segment where he would go around to universities and find out how much Americans really know about Canada. Some of the results were pretty scary. I guess Canadians know so much about the United States because we watch your Tv and your movies. And let's face it, in terms of population we're pretty damn tiny. I heard somewhere that the population of New York City alone was like three times the population of Newfoundland. Pretty crazy.

btw, raxo, you spelled my state, Massachusetts, wrong.

i figure since america really is regionalized, maybe we should divide up into seperate nations. the north east is prodominately liberal

(except for a senator from maine, who said that maine should be divided into the upper part "maine" and the southern part "northern Massachusetts" because the southern part of maine is more liberal like massachusetts, but since the part of the new "maine" is populated by tweleve men, eleven women and a bunch of moose and flying squirrals, it didnt really fly)

and the bible belt is prodominately conservative, so basically its like the north east and califonia....and throw in vegas, we need all the strippers and casinos we can get.

You see, no other country has America in their title. So when the title of our country is shortened to America, it at least comes from the actual name of the country. People don't say Canada of America or Brazil of America. So people get it. I think people all over the world call us just America every now and then. And it's always pretty obvious as to who they are speaking of. It has nothing to do with us being ethnocentric. By the way we call ourselves Americans, not United States of Americans, it's the American Revolution, American machinery, American ingenuity and so on. So it's pretty much separate from what we identify as North America and South America. Which right there separates the term from just plain America.

That's actually very true. lol, it's not that I don't like the US, but it's my requirement as a Canadian to be bitter about the whole elephant/mouse thing.

Maybe you've heard of Rick Mercer? He's the original Jon Stewart except he takes shots at both the Conservatives, the Liberals, (and the NDP and Bloc Quebecois when convenient). Anyway, he used to do this great "Talking to Americans" segment where he would go around to universities and find out how much Americans really know about Canada. Some of the results were pretty scary. I guess Canadians know so much about the United States because we watch your Tv and your movies. And let's face it, in terms of population we're pretty damn tiny. I heard somewhere that the population of New York City alone was like three times the population of Newfoundland. Pretty crazy.

Any show can do that. They are always going to air the most ignorant people. Otherwise, how would hey get ratings? Plus, I know many stupid Americans, so it's no surprise to me that they're out there.

And if I may make fun of my own country for a moment...

Canada's Really Big- The Arrogant Worms

spoken)
thank you very much
now we're very, uh, we're very patriotic canadians
and we'd like to take this moment to,
uh, to do our national anthem, that we wrote

When i look around me, i can't believe what i see
it seems as if this country has lost its will to live
the economy is lousy, we barely have an army
but we can still stand proudly because canada's really big
we're the second largest country on this planet earth
and if Russia keeps on shrinking, then soon we'll be first!
(as long as we keep quebec)

The USA has tanks, and switzerland has banks
they can keep them thanks, they just don't amount
cause when you get down to it, you find out what the truth is,
it isn't what you do with it, it's the size that counts
most people will tell you that france is pretty large
but you can put fourteen frances into this land of ours!
(it'd take a lot of work, it'd take a whole lot of work)

we're larger than malaysia, almost as big as asia
we're bigger than australia and it's a continent
so big we seldom bother to go see one another
but we often go to other countries for vacations
our mountains are very pointy, our prairies are not
the rest is kinda bumpy, but man do we have a lot!
(we've got a lot of land, we've got a whole lot of land)

so stand up and be proud and sing it very loud
we stand out from the crowd, cause Canada's really big

i particularly like this joke i heard at the beginning of our little SNAFU we call "The War On Terrorism"

at the beginning of the war, canada promised to support us. They promised to send us 800,000 troops, 30 ships from their navy, and 1,000 planes.
...Unfortunately after the currancy exchange we only ended up with 3 canoes, 10 mounties and a couple of freakin flying squirrels!

Well, it's been over 200 years, so I don't think it's gonna all of a sudden change. And we are called Americans by every country so it's not just us. Although when a person from another country is referencing us, it's usually those Americans.  ;)

What are the other Americas than? If not only North, South and Central? And again, they all have qualifiers. Besides, the term the Americas was created so that the more ambiguous term America would not confuse people. And the way you say 'you call yourselves Americans' confuses me. What are we supposed to call ourselves? Unitedans? Statesan? Americans of the Americas that include North, South and Central?  

Another point of view I found:
The United States OF America. The preposition of is equivalent to the of in Federative Republic of Brazil, Commonwealth of Australia, Federal Republic of Germany. That is, the of indicates the name of the state. In addition, other countries use "United" or "States" in their names as well. Indeed, the formal name of Mexico is Estados Unidos Mexicanos, currently officially translated as "United Mexican States" but in the past translated as "United States of Mexico". So to use US citizen would also be ambiguous.

Yeah too bad the United Provinces of Central America didnt survive.

I am not to worried about things like Gay right to marriage right now, that is all just a distraction. My main reason of moving to Canada would be the economic side of things.

When I say the left I am talking about economics just to clear that up.

Talk and communicate. Was anyone being nasty or anything? It's all just healthy debate. One opinion is worth just as much as the other and all worth hearing.

I was not saying that anyone was doing (generalizing) on the last posts ... I just posted thoughts ("random ones", y'know) ... and I tried not to confuse people -precisely in this way- by not posting all of them only on one by on four, y'know ... to give distance somehow ... but I admit that -after reading the last posts- it may sound as if I was refering to them ... but I was not. I wouldn't have posted that here if this would have been a thread with ONE defined topic ...

Anyone nasty? Where? Here?! NO! LOL! ... this could be the most peaceful thread on the net ...

Agree with the rest of your post ... and sadly it's too usual not to talk enough about everything and to be afraid of almost everything (precisely because we don't talk about) but -what's more sad- almost everyone.

I'm glad (no cunning in my words) that you remind all of us that one opinion is worth just as much as the other and all worth hearing ... one thing I've been fighting for almost all my life ...

I would say more ... majority is not always right ... majority is not right just by definition ... there are lots of sad famous examples ... we often forgot this

P.S. I would like to point that I've tried to include myself in all the comments I've made on this and my last posts here on this thread ... it's just to make clear that even the people who often think about this (humbly I include myself) often forget it too ...

Peace, Love, Health and ... Understanding for everybody, everywhere ... and a kiss for you, Sandra.

This is not really a random thought, but I didn't know where else to put it and I wanted to share!

I was watching The Yellow Submarine with my second grade students today, and during the All You Need is Love scene, one kid turns to me and says, 'that really is all you need.' I thought that was kind of cool.

There should be a thread for random Beatles moments or something.

Oh and then one kid goes, 'I can barely understand anything they're saying because they're English!' I thought that was funny. But I can see how they would have trouble understanding the actors exaggerated accents.

That has nothing to do with it. She's talking about the generation that made it typical. Baby Boomers are nothing if not very ME oriented. And they certainly won't stick out a marriage when they could just as well move on to the next person. Why waste their precious time on such things?

Ha! God, I've been singing that all day today.


Today, my class was SO annoying. I mean, they were just arguing and getting on each others nerves. So I have this happy face I put on the board and whenever someone is behaving I put their names on it. When they were out, I changed it to look like John with his glasses. (you know the portrait) So when they come in, of course they notice (I've drawn the pic before) and they start talking about it. So I flash them a peace sign, and tell them I'm gonna make them all memorize Give Peace a Chance cuz they've been acting like maniacs lately and maybe that will help brainwash them into acting like peaceful citizens. They all thought that was pretty funny.

I'm sure everything's going to be all right for you! You deserve it!  ;)
It's logical to be worried about it but relax yourself ... stress will be glad waiting for you some days more!  :P  ;D

Title: Re: Random Thoughts

yes I try not to think about it...you're right, easier said than done...
Thanks for your support...will take it with me on the 8th....hope I'll have a bag, big enough to carry it  :)
Never liked to grow up and get stressed...but eventually it happened. Will have to put that stress aside, selfmade stress most of the times, and just let it happen. Gaah! Excuse me while I go mad in the meantime.

No worries ... go mad if you need it (don't fight a-gain-st your body ... never!) ...

How to avoid stress? What I do is to obey my body ... don't force mind and listen to a lot of music ... I'm not saying that works for everybody  :-/ ...
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Kate on April 29, 2006, 09:42:40 PM
music helped me all my life a lot of times...whenever I feel extremely bad or stressed (like now and possibly the following week) the guys always did a good job, distracting me from things.
Think every good thought travelling to me at the 8th will help me get through my first day at the new job.
Feel better already with a little help from my friends  :)

Don't say more!!! ... I'll be sending you my best and possitive energy thru old Europe ... and if you consider it a little help you can consider me a friend as well, if you want1  :)
I'm beginning to feel stressed right now, mate ... what a high pressure!  ;D

Why don't we do an agreement: I'll be stressed meanwhile you'll feel relaxed ... and in your first day you'll think it was me the disastro-us person who was fired and you the perfect one for that job (that's the reason why I'll be stressed -looking for a new one- and you'll be relaxed -you've alredy got a good one-?)
OK?  ;)

I still think it's comical how the Catholic community feels enough anxiety over Dan Brown's fiction, to publically denounce it - even getting the Pope to throw a few holy punches at it.

Title: Re: Random Thoughts

Hey! I thought it was a good book. But I wouldn't go so far as to call it literature. It's just like reading a mystery book or science fiction. It's for pleasure. I don't get the controversy about it though. It's fiction. But I don't know one Catholic that was offended by it. Including me. It's always the biggest mouths that get all the attention anyway. I wouldn't exactly say 'catholic community.' That's implying a lot.

I fell asleep after the eighth page. I think I'm the only person I know who didn't like it.

I didn't want to read it for the longest time, but once I got into it I couldn't stop. It's interesting how he connects everything. Maybe you'll like it in a few years. The movie is getting really bad reviews though. Too bad. I love Tom Hanks.

Title: Re: Random Thoughts

Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Sondra on May 20, 2006, 04:37:49 AM
I love that book too. (To Kill a Mockingbird) Definitely one of my favorites. And they actually made a GREAT movie out of it too. I read one Harry Potter book and couldn't pick up another. Same with the movies.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Mairi on May 20, 2006, 04:41:38 AM
I didn't like the movies 'cause I thought they made 'em too kiddish. The later HP books are WAY better, imo. More complex plots and character development.

I've been reading mostly biographies and non-fiction books lately, though. Mainly because I finished most of the interesting novels at the school library.

I can't get that much into fantasy. I read Cat's Cradle recently and it p*ssed me off. The last few chapters were ridiculous. When it gets too out there I lose interest. That's why I could never get into those Hobbit books when they were so popular. Too much. A lot of kids books are great though. I'm reading Charlotte's Web to my students and it's just so beautifully written. Same with Stuart Little. They stand up after all those years.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: on May 20, 2006, 05:04:07 AM
Harry Potter is a fad that I really don't get. It's a bandwagon that comes around every now and then that people jump on. It's aimed at kids because of that school lark with a few dragons thrown in for good measure and for certain Americans who read it because they have a fixation for anything with a posh English accent. It's no original idea, alot of hogwash about wizards and spells written by a second cousin of the Queen who really needed to get the 80 million or whatever she got for the film rights, and the films! Bloody hell, the films are full of great actors hamming it up because their kids told them too, and that posh twat who plays the 'boy wizard' gets on my tits, he's your typical spoon-fed prat that could live out of his parents wallet all of his life but decided he wanted to be famous, the girl is another one of them as is the ginger fella.

I guess I have a slight admiration for that woman who writes it. I mean, if I could make 80 million out of writing a load of formulatic clap-trap, I would.

I just finished Da Vinci code. I was expecting Umbert Eco and got Frederick Forsyth, but it was a good read. Really makes you want to visit the places. We all need a little mystery in our lives.

Still an hour to go at work...

Luckily I don't have anything planned for the evening.

I wish my office didn't have a window to our company's showroom right behind me so that I didn't have to look over my shoulder all the time to see if someone notices I'm on the internet during work.

I'll be glad when the Ramadan's over... Almost all of my colleagues are Muslims and they're all cranky because they're hungry and sleepy all the time... Plus, we usually order sandwiches for the whole company on Thursday, but obviously we don't do that now.

They really play Dance Little Sister by Terence Trent D'Arby WAY too often on the radio station that I listen to.

I hate it when girls I like are already taken.

And it seems like pretty much every girl in my age group is already taken.

Bananas and mardarins taste great together.

I think I'll eat more fruit and not as much unhealthy stuff from now on.

I really don't like birthdays... And I've got my mom's and my own coming up this weekend.

I think I'll get that Gucci Rush stuff for my mom. She likes that.

Thank God my boss is going to China for 10 days next week... Work is much more relaxed when my boss is away.

There's currently a film crew setting up in the room next to my office to shoot an item for some local TV network. The host of that show has been here before a few times, and I really don't like that guy. He acts like he's a celebrity, but come on dude... It's only local TV.

It probably must look like I hate everything and get irritated very easily, but that's really not the case. I'm very easy going in real life.

I'm a little bit concerned about what's going on with the Dutch national football team at the moment.

It really sucks that we can't find a record label... We'll probably have to release our new album totally DIY again... For the first time in over 4 years... Feels like we're back to where we started.

I just found out that I have to take just three days off to actually have ten days in a row off during this year's holidays. Already looking forward to it.

Another reason why I'm looking forward to the holidays is because then I can start listening to that great christmas album Brian Wilson brought out last year.

Why do people have to make such a big deal out of birthdays and the fact that I don't celebrate mine?

Maybe I should celebrate my birthday next year. It does feel a little weird to spend your birthday like every other day.

I'm still not sure if I want to continue playing soccer. I think it's gonna take a long while before I'm back at my old level. And I've never been that good to begin with. Maybe it would help if I'd lose some weight.

I had a Cher doll! I used to use it to scare people. This was pre-plastic surgery, tan Cher with the long straight hair. Very creepy looking. Once we tied it up in the refrigerator so when someone opened it she would fly out at them. Pretty funny. You've got to get the vintage 70's Cher. It's WAY better then the later curly haired white Cher in my opinion.  ;D

I hate being broke. Now I don't have any money to buy pretty things or vintage magazines. That a**hole who fired my mom is a selfish bastard.

I really hope the Drama Club goes through with doing a play this year, as long as Little Miss So-and-So doesn't get to be the star. Everyone thinks she's so great just because she was Annie in grade seven, which she got because of her hair. At least she's actually a really nice person.

I always feel much better after I cleaned up the place. Which makes me wonder why I don't clean up the place more often.

I hate people that hate Bono for his political activism. Give the guy a break and don't say it's just an ego trip... I don't care what his reasons are, at least he's one of the very few people that actually gets something done. In the words of the great Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat "You tell me that I make no difference / At least I'm f***ing trying / And what the f*** have YOU done?".

I hate metal and I hate redneck attitudes, but damn... Cowboys From Hell by Pantera is really an amazing song... Doesn't get much harder than that.

I watched six episodes of Gilmore Girls today and I think I'll watch one or two more later this evening.

I'm going to a Panic! At The Disco show tomorrow with two 15 year old girls. That will be kind of weird. But fun, probably.

Coming Friday and Monday I have a day off from work for no particular reason. Not much work at the moment and I just thought it would be nice to have an extra long weekend to finish reading some books, watch some DVDs and write and record some music.

I regret that I bought a 2 GB iPod Nano. I should've gone for 4 GB cause it's already full and there are still so many songs I'd like to add.

My PE teacher was a Scotsman, who stood at the door of our gym in his tracksuit and scarf and made us run around in the freezing mud in white singlets and shorts. He caned me (3 times!) because I dared put on my grey uniform short in a pitiful attempt to ward of hypothermia. Bastard! How come they could do that?
To this day I hate: Scotsmen, singlets and freezing mud.

My dad was explaining sometime ago that one of his school teachers used to use a cricket bat. If you were the unfortunate rule-breaker ... out would come the bat.

but ...

After the 'treatment' you were allowed to sign the cricket bat - and naturally, the mentality of kids resulted in certain individuals being proud in getting the cricket bat treatment. Crazy times.

     Do you remember POGs? Of course you do! They were all the rage in the nineties. However, this trend started much earlier, in Hawaii during the 1930s. It was later taught to a group of schoolchildren almost 7 decades later by their guidance teacher. The game began to catch on, and when they were reintroduced to the American market by the Canadian Games Company, the fad really took off.
     POG is an acronym for Passion-fruit Orange Guava juice, a type of beverage made in Hawaii. The game was played using the caps off of the tops, but in later incarnations POGs were produced specifically for the game, with special collectable POGs and "slammers" (extra-thick POGs).
     How does one play POGs? Well, in this game two players both have their own stack of POGs and slammer. Each player contributes the same number of POGs and stacks them facedown. The players both each hit the stack with their slammer, and the players keep the POGs that land face up after the stack has been slammed. After each slam, the POGs are restacked. When no POGs are left in the stack, the player with the most POGs wins.
     Many schools found that children were becoming to obsessed  with POGs. Fights were brewaking out, classroom work would be disrupted, and some even considered POGs a form of gambling. When slammers were thrown, they would often rebound off the floor, sometimes hitting a child or posing possible danger. Therefore, POGs were banned in some schools, much like Pokemon cards and Tatmagochi that were to follow them.
     POGS were very much a product of the nineties and have little poularity today. Indeed, if the toy manufactuers somehow decided to reintriduce POGs, they would probably be met with little success, as today's children have been saturated with the need for constant stimulation, often in digital or electronic form.
     However, maybe you have a stack of POGs somewhere under your bed or hidden in your closet. Why don't you give them to your younger sibling or cousin? You never know. They may catch on yet again.

Anyway, you have to see this guy. He is drop-dead gorgous. Deep, expressive eyes, chiseled- but not too chisled features, soft lips, hot body, and he's very intelligent.

Hey, hey, hey!



Don't know why it's in my head, but there it is. Certainly random cuz I haven't watched that cartoon in ages. I think it stemmed from watching Eddie Murphy's RAW recently and he sang the Slinky song. (Remember his dad had to eat Slinkys for desert instead of Hostess cupcakes.) From there it all started coming back. Saturday morning flashbacks!! It must have been all the sugar from those nutritious cereals we lived on. Worse than drugs I tell you.



Hey, are kids still entertained by Slinky? I wonder if they're still around. And I'm not talking about those stupid cheap plastic ones either. I'm talking the real metal ones that'll poke your eye out! Do parents still buy those things for their kids? I would. I'd buy them clackers too! Let them beat the hell out of themselves like the good old days! :P

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs
and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky,
it's fun, it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky
It's fun for a girl or a boy.

(No, this is not a rip off of Ren and Stimpy's Log song)

Which is good for your generation because by the time your reach our age it will be considered young. Well, the sixties generation is helping with that too I think.

(wink) My cute little second graders always tell me how young I look. Age is a state of mind anyway and my generation is the generation that refuses to grow up. Which is good for your generation because by the time your reach our age it will be considered young. Well, the sixties generation is helping with that too I think. At least they're good for something. BTW, I feel sorry for you if you've never seen a Fat Albert cartoon. They rule.

2nd graders are mean to me :( Stupid second graders. I don't need them. <sob, sob> Seriously, the second graders in my school aren't that bad, I used to go down and help the ones with trouble sounding things out and stuff read because the teacher knew me long ago and how good I was at reading. No time now that I'm in high school.

But the 6th graders, boy lemmee tell ya, bunch of little sh*ts.

Mairi, your avatar reminded me of this. I recently watched a thing about Marilyn Monroe on the biography channel that went into the conspiracy theories of her death. I was wondering what you thought about it. I mean, the whole Robert Kennedy going to her house and having some doctor poison her with a lethal enema and so on. Just curious since you're a fan of hers. She was one messed up human being.

I'm not too fond of Marilyn. She was kind of a whore. Between the sort of "pyramid of betrayal" that was Kennedy, Giancana, and Castro, she slept with the two legs that were supposed to lead to Castro's assasination.

You know that she was raped as a child, right? And often people who are raped become promiscuous. Besides, if that was a man, you would be praising her sexual prowess.

Anyway, I've read a lot of books on the subject and I think that we shouldn't rule out a murder. I don't think the Kennedys did it themselves, but maybe they hired someone to do it, or someone close to them arranged for it. There's so much evidence- the note to Joe DiMaggio, the sheets being washed, the fact that the pills she supposedly took weren't found in her system. Plus, they had the means, the motive and the opportunity. Definitely the motive. Marilyn was infamous for her loose lips. She was part of the reason people found out about Frank Sinatra's mob connections.

Marilyn's death seems like a hit.  But I wonder why the mob would do it.  She knew too much--about the Kennedys and the mob.  Seems like the mob would have leveraged that against John and Bobby (who was hounding them through prosecutions).  Or maybe the mob thought she was more a liability than an asset.  Her death a good way to set Bobby up.  When that failed, they decided to cut off the head (rather than the tail) to kill the dog (to paraphrase Carlos Marcello).  The head=John.  Tail=Bobby.  

Speculation's endless.  But her death is particularly suspicious given the assassination a year later.

*sighs* Poor Marilyn. I'm learning how to play "Candle in the Wind" on the guitar, and to me, the lyrics describe her perfectly. "Lonliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played, Hollywood created a superstar, you paid the price for fame." It makes me cry sometimes.

Of course I agree that it's unfair that women who sleep around are considered sluts while to most people it's OK if men do it. That's not fair at all. But I'm going to play the devil's advocate here by saying that I to a certain extend understand where this is coming from. Because women can get sex much easier than men. Imagine that you'd drop a reasonably attractive man and a reasonably attractive woman in a shopping mall and let them both ask 100 members of the opposite sex if they'd be interested in a one night stand. What do you think would happen? I bet the man would get called a pervert about 80 times, get slapped in the face about 20 times and maybe get a 'yes' about 5 times. The woman on the other hand would probably get a 'yes' at least 20 times while the majority of the other 80 men would be flattered. Right? I think that's why women that sleep around are considered sluts while men aren't. It's not right, but I think that's the reason.

An old friend of mine who's been a Jehovah's Witness for his whole life called me up yesterday. I hadn't talked to him for years. He told me he's no longer a Jehovah's Witness and that his mother won't speak to him anymore because of that. His dad only talks to him when his mother's not around. And he lost almost all his friends. That's so sad...

I don't understand why someone would want a teddy bear of a guy that -by his own count- was responsible for the execution of 2,500 people. It is even documented that he once personally executed a 12 year old boy, just after telling him what a brave lad he was. I wonder if people that walk around in Che t-shirts (which I did as well about ten years ago) realize that.

No, they don't. Che is a pop-icon now. I've translated a book about Fidel Castro written by a French journalist and I was astonished to learn some of the things inside it, including stuff about Guevara...

Don't read below, I'm just talking to feel better:

Random thought: I feel ultimately miserable. My ex-boyfriend happened to be a slug. I happened to be a rebound girl and he didn't have the courage to tell me how he was feeling for 6 month letting me believe he loved me. And we had fights and arguments because I didn't understand why he was treating me bad when I obviously was doing the right things. He says because I wasn't HER. But says that to a friend of our, not even to me. And didn't say a word about that before - this could have ended long ago and would have felt good now! ARGH!
I feel offenden, fooled, betrayed, lied!
And he dares think that I'm in love!
It hurts and I hate him now which is not good, I want to forget about him, he's wasting my time - it's not worth thinking about him >:(

Guavera himself stated where the problem arises. Guerilla tactics, being what they are, when acted out will be chaotic. This is something Guavera did not anticipate, and when the poorly trained during the revolution applied these Guerilla tactics the bloodshed was far worse then he anticipated. This followed by the overly collective policies Castro implemented lead him to leave Cuba, remember, disgusted with their association with their alliance with the Soviet Union. He then left for inland Central America to combat the militant dictators for the majority of the rest of his time.

Well, based on what I read, I believe that Guevera was a ruthless killer with no respect for the value of a human life. I think he might even have enjoyed killing people. And you also shouldn't forget that he's partially responsible for the fact that Cubans didn't have democracy or freedom of speech for the last 48 years.

I understand it if people agree with Guevara's ideas. I think he was fighting for a good cause, even though I don't agree with the methods he used. But I think you should never ever idolize a mass murderer. Cause that's what he was.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

I don't know that "ruthless" is the proper term. Once again, the lives lost were the effects of the way his theories were applied, not the theories themselves.

Also, I doubt he enoyed killing and that he had no regard for human life, due to his statements regarding advancements in world peace. Have you ever read/heard "Colonialism Is Dead"?

i think uncyclopedia.org said it best: "According to a recent report in "The PseudoEngineer", Bolivian scientists have wrapped copper wire around Guevara's body and surrounded him with magnets. This is because he is turning over in his grave so rapidly due to the commercialization of his image that he now powers most of South and Central America by himself. He is thus the most prolific revolutionary in the history of the world, making over 200 revolutions per second. This is 192 rps faster than the second runner up, Robespierre who is said to have reached 8 revolutions per second during a particularly fierce figure skating competition with Marie"

Yeah, I used to wear Che shirts as well... Until someone came up to me one day and asked me what I knew about Che. I had to admit I didn't really know that much (not saying that also goes for you, AC), so I started reading stuff about him and haven't worn any of those shirts since.

I've read and seen The Motorcycle Diaries and of course it's appealing to see Che as a hero that fought against the capitalist tirans, but I'm not too sure that he was any better than his enemies.

On a similar note, how do you tell if someone likes you? If they make jokes that only you would get, and look at you a lot? If they offer to pay for you when you lose your money, or want to be alone with you and play guitar? Or am I just reading too much into things?

Just a sigh or whatever will help  ;) ... next step will be clear too ... probably he was waiting you to make the first move: he couldn't if he was playing the guitar, y'know!!! :P Sit near him ... and close ... to listen to the song or to sing along!!! 8)

Being a girl myself I would think he likes me (you in this case ;) ). At least. So.. why don't you ask him to try to teach you some of those songs on guitar? Boys always like  being told they are great and you asking him teaching you means you think he's so great that you would like to learn. You trust him, you admire him - that's waht he's going to read and if he really likes you he'll be more than happy to follow your "move".
Just a suggestion...

Let me vaunt a little:
My editor in the music magazine told me today my latest reviews are great... I feel so good...
I've almost survived that kind of slug who made my life miserable last weeks and I started a blog - then I made and English version for all Beatles fans who probably would like to take a look at it  ;D There's nothing interesting so far but I'll do my best to provide best quality postings soon  ;)

i have a problem that i could use some advice on, the girl that i have talked a little about in this thread for the past 2 pages or so, well....she admitted that she has feelings for me last night. legit feelings for me. what makes it worse is that we've both been thinking alot of eachother since saturday. i guess i'm asking, what should i do? i can't do anything with her because she has a boyfriend and i want her to be happy. but her feelings for me are kinda starting to make her uneasy about her relationship now. its a confusing time, i mean if i could have any woman i'd choose her because we just enjoy eachother's company so much and understand eachother and have such a connection and i'll never find someone like her, but at the same time its like a "why bother" thing because i know they'll never break up and even if they did she'd be hurt for awhile. what i'm feeling for her is like anything else, i've never felt like this with any previous girlfriends and i probably will never feel this way about anyone else. so am i...i dont really know what to ask, i just need some advice or something.

a part of me wants to stop this and let our friendship stay as is, another part wants me to continue and see where it goes. dunno, shes kinda hinted that she may want to end it with him. i've just been telling her to listen to her heart and do what feels right not what she thinks is right. clichic but i dont really know much more on my feelings.

The concept of a banner with a circle behind it like that was inspired by the cover of the Beach Boys album "Sunflower".

The sun is taken from the cover of Brian Wilson's "Smile" album.

The notes are the first notes ("I may not always love you") from Brian's hand-written original music sheet for "God Only Knows".

we had a Heifer donation thing for the past 2 weeks at school, where one of your classes will be where you donate (in this case, your class during F period) and so the first time around that the teacher asked for donations, i put in $20 and he was amazed that anyone would do that, and then a few days later he asked again for donations so i put in $5 (he wouldnt accept me donating again because i donated so much last time, so i had to force him to take it) and he asked me why did i donate so much, probably out of curiousity. and i didnt really know why, but now i do.

i've seen what money does to people, what it makes them. i live in a predominately white collar town and there are so many pompous asses with all this money that cant help but flaunt it even though they wouldnt be anywhere without it. i dont want that, and if i can donate some of my money, than maybe they can donate the equivalent amount. (in reality, i know it won't happen, and even if i can't change the world, let me change my little corner of it)

In other ways though, I expect I am a weirdo. Or maybe a 'freak'. Because arent we all? Even John Lennon:

It's called Candyman, and it's got a great '40s vibe about it. Very Andrews Sisters, but with Aguilera's great voice. If the rest of the album is like this single, I'm going to have to buy it.

got myself a dilemma again, and it involves women again (funny how it always end up like that)

well my charm has got the best of me and i could now ask out 2 different girls and probably end up dating them between now and whenever i go to college. i don't know though, one is the girl im going to prom with and enjoy being around, shes shy but very nice and intelligent when you get to know her. I'll be seeing the other at the prom after party and also enjoy her company. both of them i think are falling for me. the one im going to prom with said she'd go out with me (on a date i assume) next weekend. the other i will probably be going out with this weekend.

am i just up for one massive screw up? or could i conceiveably have the idea that i could have not only a girl fall in love with me but two at the same time, at which point what the bloody hell do i do? i can't decide, ones a little ditzy but smart, and very good looking, the other is slightly less good-looking and not as....outgoing as it were than the other girl and shy.

its like the best things happen and they happen at the worst damn time. i think i need some womanly advice, and for the record, i dont really care for who i can sleep with, i just enjoy being loved ;D

Wow, this is just like that old episode of... well, every show. But let me tell you something: None of these girls is going to be happy if you date them all at the same time. They'll all get upset, and you'll be left dateless. So just pick the girl you like best (and that likes you the best) and stick with her.

and the other girl im friends with who has been having relationship problems with her boyfriend is now broken up with him almost completely

the timing of all of this is impeccable. why couldn't this have all happened over the course of a year, dont make me pick a girl to go out with, when i want to go out with all of them

Relax. In about thirty years your hormones start giving up the ghost and then you won't give a damn whether they stay or go.
Until then it's a bit like being a soldier - long periods of boredom intermixed with the odd spells of extreme terror, grief or elation.

True. But thou shalt find that as your horniness dissapates so will your need to be in love. The two are not disconnected.
Love is just nature's way of ensuring that after propogation you hang around and assist with the siring of your offspring. No offspring- no need for a love. (and I know everyone will bring up examples of deeply in love grandparents - but most of those relationships are the result of bonding from the offspring years. Rarely do old people fall in love when they're old. At best they seek a companion.)

Not entirely. But I think the sex is one of the reasons why people want a partner, not the reason.

If you'd have to choose between being alone all your life or having a loving but platonic relationship with one of the greatest people you've ever met, what would you choose?

Point. But is the desire for a platonic partner the same as the head-over-heels I'll-die-without-you love you feel for someone you're also attracted to?
But I agree, there is no simple answer. We are social animals. But I cannot accept that there is not a deep biological connection bewtween love and sex.(sorry for the double negative)
Why is it that nature insists that we bond so strongly and exclusively with one other? And normally with the person with whom we sire offspring, even if that means to the exclusion of other seemingly equally important relationships (friends and family)
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Kevin on May 02, 2007, 01:36:49 PM
Just to labour the point (unusual for me I know), one of the costs of our walking upright is the extreme narrowing of the females bith canal. Evolutions answer to this is that humans, exclusively among mammals, give birth to children in a premature state. Our young are therefore dependant on their parents (in fact for long periods downright helpless) for a much longer period than any other mammal. So they require a greater investment of care from their parents. A human female needs a dedicated partner. Bingo - pair bonding. (or to give it anothrer name - love)

Because people fear being alone. They want someone who will always be there. Why are most people monogamous? Because they fear that their partner will leave them if they're not. Why do some people choose they partners over their friends and family? Because your parents are likely to die 25-30 years before you will, and because your friends and family are not obliged to stay with you for the rest of your life.

And most people will choose their children over their partner, even if they don't even choose their parents over their partner. Because your children are even more likely to be with you for the rest of your life than your partner. Many single parents with children don't have the need for a new partner. Many people have children because they fear dying alone.

So to put it shortly: I don't think that people want to have a partner because of the sex, but because they want someone who will be with them forever.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Joost on May 02, 2007, 01:49:23 PM
So maybe people want a partner to produce an offspring, but I think that's just an 'extra'. They want someone to be with forever, and if you have children, you have even more people to keep you company. Let's just call it extra insurance.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Kevin on May 02, 2007, 01:57:19 PM
I think (again) we'll have to agree to disagree.  :)
I'll make one last point (this was, bizarely, on the news today): the age group with the highest increase in divorce rates are the over 60's - woman, freed from the constraints of child rearing and financially independant - are wanting to go it alone.
And I could argue that the fear of being alone is just another evolutionary design to ensure that you stay with the person with whom you are rearing children, but i won't. And that you are a prime example of this design in action - you are of an age where reproduction should be a prime activity - hence your romantic notions of long term partnership. I would have this conversation with you when you're fifty, but ill be dead then. :)

Better advice I've never heard. *cackles and rubs hands, careful not to dislodge the strings that manipulate* ;)

Somedude210, do you still want female advice?  Because mine is different from Mairi's. She is probably wiser than me, and doubtless far more age-appropriate.  Still, it sounds as if you are trying to develop a serious relationship.  That to my mind is different from barhopping or casual shopping.  I have also experienced the "when it rains, it pours" phenomenon in dating, and it's just not fair!  However, given that that is the case, I don't see a problem with dating more than one person.  I see a problem if you lie to either one of the people about not dating other people. But if you're just sounding someone out to find out if you're compatible with them, I think it's okay to explore both relationships. It think it is wise to make a choice when it starts to become serious.

Of course, you know the best advice about advice: listen to all of it, and take none of it.  Good luck!


Fascinating conversation about the need to be with a partner or not. I tend also to look at our evolutionary roots, because it helps put some of our universal behaviors in perspective.  That said, humans do not operate merely on instinct.  Our society is continually evolving.  For example, I don't think that the increasing divorce rate among over 60-year-old people is necessarily a sign that these people don't need or want to be with a partner.  I think it is more likely an outcome of women having money of their own, and the ability to set up an independent household without relying upon a mate who might not have been a very good husband.  Without looking further at this data, I couldn't say.

Humans are indeed social animals.  We're happier when we have those connections. I don't know what it's like for a man, but for a woman the need for closeness does not appear to diminish over time.  In fact, one of the things that is personally amusing to my mother and myself is the epidemic in sexually transmitted diseases among very elderly women.  These are all proper churchgoing ladies, who like to make sure that their date is successful by taking along that "little blue pill". Seriously, these old ladies are the biggest growing STD group in the state of Florida.  I don't know what the statistics are like elsewhere, but these are happy ladies having a good time, then becoming very surprised when they visit the doctor. :)

I have even read that our propensity for mating face-to-face (as opposed to the from-the-back approach favoured by the rest of the animal kingdom) is another evolutionary devise to ensure we bond with the sharer of our seeds. The only other mammal that does it is our nearest cousin the bonobo chimp. They indulge in constant, varied sexual activity with other sex, same sex, mothers, fathers sisters, brothers. It's accepted that they use sex as a bonding agent. As a result they seem to be far less agressive and violent than their from-the-back common chimp cousins.

But sometimes it's better to just go with the flow, and just enjoy things.

so we originally decided that we were going to break her friends in to the whole idea of us dating over the span of the next week (our junior prom is next friday) till the prom after-party. but its been 3 days and 90% of her friends know now.... ;D (feels like months though). but we worked it out with our promdates and told them that there will be one other person that we would like to spend a few dances with. and both were cool with the idea. so all is well currently in the land of somedude and the somedudess  ;D

A permanent contract, of course! This is the best job I've had so far. Lots of creative freedom, very little stress, I never have to work overtime, it pays well and most of the people I work with are cool. Plus, I want to buy a house in the not too distant future.

Of course not, I can still quit if I want to... But I'm glad I've finally got some stability. In the last 5 and a half years I've had 6 jobs, a total of 2 one year contracts, 3 six month contracts and 3 two month contracts, one job as a temp and more than a year of unemployment.

What's the market like in The Netherlands? I would have thought at your age it wouldn't be too difficult to get something permanent. When I moved to Denmark - eight years ago - I was a 40 year old designer with 20 years experience, a decent portfolio, and nobody wanted me. I waisted 2 years trying, but eventually gave up and did something else (the money ran out!). Now I'm just makiing tentative steps back into it because the markets for people 40+ have grown so much that they don't have anyone who can relate to us! Kind of ironic really. I've always kept my hand in with Photoshop/Illustrator, but I've got my work cut out catching up with the rest. Good luck to you, hope all goes well.

Well, a couple of years ago it was a nightmare, I've heard it's a lot better now. Two years ago, temp agencies wouldn't even let me sign in because they didn't have any jobs for graphic designers (one agency even told me that the last time they had such a job was 2 years ago), and several graphic designers that I knew were working for minimum wage.

Well, it is. It's almost impossible for young people to get a permanent contract right away. Most companies will give you three temporary contract before they'll give you a permanent one, cause it's safer for them. When you have a temporary contract, they can easily get rid of you at the end of your contract. When you have a permanent contract, they need to apply for a permit to fire you.

Bit different here. They give you a contract straight away, but they can change the terms of the contract, even fire you for no reason, at any time during the first 6 months. Not ideal, as you can be promised the moon and then get crapped all over after 6 months. It is very difficult to loose your job after 6 months though.

This is random, but then it is the 'random thoughts' thread...

I'm trying to decide whether to go to a Drama establishment and chase a life-long dream and ambition to be an actress, or to go to uni, do an english and film course, and leave myself with broader options and a more secure future- continuing Drama as a hobby and interest. It's a toughie
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

With my sensible head on I'd say go for the latter and join a good amateur drama group. But hey, why not follow your heart!

Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: tangerine on May 16, 2007, 05:55:15 PM
cool  :) It's tricky because acting is such a hard to get into and uncertain business, and very few make it. Maybe if I went for something like the university English and Film (or just English) course, I could try to get work on film sets- so it would be kind of vaguely linked to acting..!

I was threatening my Mum that I would go to Liverpool uni and do a Beatles course ...! I hear such thing does exist! She just raised her eyebrows and said 'on your head be it!' haha (I wouldn't actually do a Beatles course obviously- ever! it is a stupid though weirdly tempting idea. I reckon having been part of this forum for a little while, I would pass with flying colours!)

I want to be an actress, too. Most of my relatives just roll their eyes and say, "Good luck with that" but luckily my parents are pretty understanding. I want to go abroad, though, to England, and study there, but my mom doesn't like that idea.
But yeah acting is tough. Especially film acting. I want to do musical theatre- they are still a little "beauty oriented" but definitely not as much so as the film industry. I love movies but I wish they'd give homely actresses a chance once in a while, eh?

A Beatles course is pretty tempting though!!! You could also study Dylanology, if you like him. A college in my province actually does offer a course in that.

They dug up Joe Perry to play guitar to this mess. I don't think one of those idiots had even bothered to actually listen to the actual songs. A Day in the Life was the worst. I mean, you don't BELT OUT A Day in the Life!!!!!!!!! The other songs the ruined were Sgt. Pepper, She's Leaving Home, Lucy in the Sky, and With a Little Help From My Friends. Ick.

Okay, I'm gonna say something here even though I know teenagers don't like to really take advice from 'old' people. Anyway, I failed a few classes myself in high school (from non-attendance) and had to go an extra semester or so to graduate. At the time I didn't care, but in retrospect, it sucked. The sooner you can get on with real life, the better. I mean, bite the bullet man and just do it. That's all I'm saying.

I was going to go and see it but then 5 people told me not to- they said it was awful, and a dissapointment and said that though Johnny was good as always, it was a waste of time and money. That combined with warnings of the crabs which feature in it (I have a major crab phobia!) made me decide not to see it. Well, that is not to rush out and see it- I definately want to at least rent it when it comes out on DVD :)

So, you recommend it? (I assume so by the 'WOW'  :))

A woman had her wedding dress delivered this morning. She is flying to America this afternoon. The delivery man left the dress in a dressbag thingy at the door. The neighbour (for reasons best known to themselves) decided a good place to hide said dress was in the rubbish bin. You can work out the rest. It is now part of a six tonne pile of mush.

today i went to a cookout at my girlfriends, and for like the third time i just cant eat and end up feeling like im ready to throw up. this happened once when we went to a resturant  and i got steak tips. but i just felt bad but nothing happened. then at a steakhouse for our one month, i had ribs and ate two or three and felt sick and then eventually threw up in their bathroom and again today. both times afterward i felt fine and later today i was starving. but its like only happened when we've gone out together. and only those three times, i've eaten with her many times and never had a problem.

maybe im just nervous, or i was today. but its the strangest thing

Oh I've got a super-exciting day coming up. Final of Celebrity Master Chef and I get to see if the soaking of my sofa covers has removed some what-the-f*ck-was-that stains.

Wey hey. go girl! I love cooking - even though I live alone i cook every night (even when I stumble in half p*ssed from snooker.) I'm trying to conquer sauces at the moment.
I love Master Chef because they talk about why things go together rather than how. They have opened my eyes to seasoning.
I get a box of season  vegetables delivered everyweek, so I have to work out what to cook from it rather than buying what I fancy. Worked out so far - the only thing that has defeated me is Globe Artichoke. No matter what I did it tasted and felt like eating a pinecone.

I really enjoy it too. I just wished the Mrs. had at least a passing interest, so I could have a night off occasionally. She's famous in Dulwich for once serving up Fish in gravy!!

I'm going to get a box of veg delivered every week. Although Denmark seems to pride itself on being 'Green', it's actually quite difficult to buy organic veg (or any decent fresh veg for that matter) unless you have them delivered. And I quite like the idea of not knowing what I'm getting.

Maybe we should start a cookery thread?!!!

Maybe we should!
I noticed in Sweden that the scandanavians aren't big on vegetables. It's all pototatoes and meat swimming in sauce.
Liked the fish bit. My girlfriend is Indian and very suspicious of english food. Won't touch gravy because of it's meat connotations. So I call it sauce and suddenly it's no problem.

Don't believe them. They say this all the time. In the seventies it was over population, lack of water or nuclear armegeddon. In the eighties it was AIDS. Remember the millineum bug?

Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Joost on June 27, 2007, 06:22:05 PM
In a nutshell:

Day 1: A long day. I drove to Amsterdam, got stuck in a traffic jam but arrived there just in time, flew to Frankfurt (Germany), had to wait for several hours and then flew to Mexico City.

Day 2: Mexico City was not really my kind of town. It's very dirty, there's a lot of smog in the air (that's what you get when you cram 20 million people together in a valley), and I just thought the city wasn't as impressive as I hoped it would be. We visited the Zocalo (the central square) twice, in the morning and in the evening, and there just wasn't anything going on. I thought it was weird to be at the central square of the world's second largest city and see that there's just nothing happening there. We also visited Villa de Guadelupe, which is pretty much Mexico's Lourdes, and Teotihuacan with its pyramids. We climed all three of them, which was a bit scary because the stairs were very steep and in bad shape.

Day 3: We visited Puebla, which is a really lovely town, and Veracruz.

Day 4: We took a boat trip on Lake Catemaco and saw a lot of different birds and wild monkeys. We had a hotel in Villahermosa.

Day 5: We went to Palenque, which is probably the best known Maya city in Mexico. It's in the middle of the jungle and it looked very fairytale-like. We spend the night in small cottages in the jungle where we had several 'pets' (I had at least 2 lizards on my walls).

Day 6: We visited two more archeological sites in the jungle, Bonampak and Yaxchilan. Bonampak was not very impressive after Palenque, cause it basically looked like a small part of Palenque dropped somewhere else. But Yaxchilan was amazing. Very impressive. We had to take a 45 minute boat trip to get there, cause it's too deep in the jungle to reach over land.

Day 7: We visited the Misol-Ha and Agua Azul waterfalls. Absolutely beautiful. If you need a new wallpaper for your computer, go there and bring your camera. By the end of the afternoon we got to San Cristobal de las Casas, which is really a town to fall in love with. It just has a great unique, mellow atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away, from the minute you arrive.

Day 8: We visited two Indian villages, San Juan Chamula and Zinacantan. These villages are still somewhat isolated from the rest of the world. Tourists need permission to visit, the Mexican police and army are not allowed to come there and these people hold on to their own habits and traditions and they have a rather unique religion. They are more or less catholic, but they don't acknowledge Jesus Christ, they worship John the Baptist instead (he baptized Jesus Christ, so according to their logic, he's above Jesus Christ). They communicate with God by burping instead of talking, so everybody brings bottles of Coke to church.

Day 9: We had a boat trip through the Sumidero Canyon. The cliffs are 1000 meters high (600 above and 400 meters under water) at their highest. We saw a few huge, wild crocodiles on the shore and in the water. We had a hotel in Tehuantepec.

Day 10: Oaxaca. A really nice town. A little more urban than San Cristobal, but it has the same relaxed atmosphere.

Day 11: We visited Monte Alban, which is an ancient city based on the top of a mountain near Oaxaca, about 500 meters higher. We got there by bus, but me and a few others decided to walk back to Oaxaca, which was a good idea couse it was a really interesting walk.

Day 12: Taxco. The city's built on the side of a mountain and has all these very narrow streets, so it looks lovely, especially at night. 80% Of the city's population works in the silver industry, so if you need cheap silver, this is the place to go.

Day 13: A long bus drive to Acapulco, where we had a cool five star hotel by the beach.

Day 14: Acapulco. I didn't like the city very much. Apparently it used to be the place for the rich and famous to hang out, but that must've been a long time ago. I took a three hour walk from my hotel to the centre of the town and back, and I think I met at least a dozen guys who asked me if I wanted drugs or hookers. And the centre looked poor, so it wasn't even worth the walk.

Day 15/16: Very long day. I travelled for exactly 24 hours to get home. I had to take the bus from Acapulco to Mexico City, wait at the airport for a couple of hours, fly from Mexico City to Frankfurt, wait at the airport, fly from Frankfurt to Amsterdam and drive home from Amsterdam.

A few random thoughts.

I'm always losing stuff, man! *sighs* I hate it. I'm missing my MP3 CD, one of my magazines that I collect, and my favourite leather flip-flops that I wear everywhere. I also hate it when Bandaids gets messed up and my posts are lost.

State of Grace, now that was a great show. Kind of like a femme Wonder Years, but with more dysfunction. I wish it would come out on DVD, but you know there's no chance of that happening.

Aaargh, my grades suck. Now my average is down to 82 because of stupid Phys Ed and that one English essay I missed. Hopefully I can make it up next year.

Can't the media just shut up about this whole climate crisis thing? They're just going on and on and on about it and it's starting to get on my nerves.

hey joost, you should read the book "its not news, its fark: and the crap that the media tries to pass off as real news"

you'll enjoy it. this kinda falls into mass media fearmongering. that and the fact that governments refuse to do anything about it until it really is too late

Excerpt from Lennon Revealed, describing John's actions on stage at Comiskey Park, Chicago:
Legs wide open. Pelvis forward. Mouth almost swallowing the microphone. Guitar held high on chest. Eyes darting. Angelic look on face. Devilish eyes. Turns around. Glances at Ringo. Nude woman races across field. Head turns. Big smile.

Well, okay. She left the front door WIDE OPEN, which I have told her a million times not to do, because my cat will get out and we have coyotes in the area. And the first thing she says is "Well you should have been paying more attention blah blah blah...." And she didn't even APOLOGIZE!!! I mean what is that??!?

My mom lost her job at a clothing store, they really liked her but they said they had to let her go because stuff just wasn't selling enough. The sales had picked up since she started working, but not enough. It really sucks because she just got this job a couple of months ago after being out of work for almost a year (that time it was total dirty politics when they got rid of her... let's not go there).
At least I have a job now, babysitting all day. But it still really sucks, what with my graduation next year and all.

Can anyone hear that high-pitched sound at the end of A Day in the Life? It's funny because whenever K_E and I listen to this song, at the end I always go "ooh, it's coming, listen", but she doesn't hear it... I listened to it with my mum the other day, but she doesn't hear it either...

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you're a great guy, but I don't like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we're not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we're going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn't work out, we'll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.

Peter Jackson was only busy to YOU, K-E. He sent me a handwritten reply and autographed photos of all the cast, and some rare film from their behind-the-scenes documentary.

Well, not really. I think he actually was very busy, if you wrote him during the production. About all you can do is boycott King Kong. But it was great that you wrote him. :)

You can ask her out for old times sake and see what happens. Maybe the feeling's gone, maybe not. Tell her that you were secretly in love with her. Girls love that. You lost her once and you got nothing to lose now. Good luck.

Oh, sorry, I already deleted the post... But what the heck, here it is again:

There's this girl I used to go to school with. I kinda had a crush on her but never told her cause we were good friends and I didn't want to ruin that. After school we lost contact, but recently I've been e-mailing with her again. She's currently single and so am I, so obviously the thought of asking her out crossed my mind. I'm a little bit scared of asking her though, cause it would be awkward since we go back 11 years. I don't want to ask her totally out of the blue, I think it would better to build up to it someway.

Thanks for the advice. It sounds a bit too 'serious' for the way we used to talk to each other, but we'll see. It will be awkward no matter what, cause we used to be part of a group of friends, so it was never really just the two of us.

I've been tempted into this a couple of times, with mixed results. The first time was with an old friend I hadn't seen for about 5 years. It resulted in a year long relationship and ended with her absolutely hating me for dumping her. Disaster, never seen her since, which is a shame because she was a good friend. About a year later I threw myself into the fire again! Thiis time with someone Id been mates with for about 18 months. We had an extremely passionate fling for a couple of weeks, then decided that we got on better just as friends. We're still occassionaly in touch, and she's even been over here to visit.

Tread carefully my friend. There are, as they say, plenty more fish in the sea.

So I e-mailed her last Saturday and asked her if she wanted to meet up sometime in the near future. I didn't call it a date or anything like that, I just said I wanted to meet her because it's been a long time ago, and maybe we could exchange some holiday stories. Cause it just so happens to be that I went to Mexico and she wants to go there next year, while she's been to California this year and I'm thinking of going there next year. Seemed like a perfect excuse.

...but she didn't reply.

So what now?  ??)

I could do that, but first of all... I haven't seen her in years, we're only e-mailing now so we're hardly even friends at the moment. So there's not much to ruin anymore. And second, I'll probably always wonder what could've been if I would've tried a little harder...

Maybe I should ask her more directly... Not just if she wants to go do "something sometime"... But something more specific. Any suggestions?

Or should I just take BlueMeanie's advice?  ??)

Yes, I'm serious. I have always liked names that are a bit different.

That was an inside Dutch joke. Anders is a common name in the Scandinavian countries. But in Dutch, 'anders' means 'different'. So, if you're looking for a name that's different, Anders is a good option.

I'm having the worst kind of day. The kind of day when you wake up and realize you have exactly six minutes to get dressed and run down the lane to catch the school bus. So you throw on the first thing you see, which happens to be a light blue t-shirt with the Little Memaid on it and a pair of ill-fitting brown cords, an outfit that when coupled with your brown boots, makes you look like a ten year old lesbian.
Then you get to school and learn that the project you spent all night finishing was not actually due today, but you do have another project due on Wednesday, and if it's not finished by then, you get a zero. Then the power goes out and you have to work in the dark. Then when you are leaving, you realize you forgot a very important book, so you tell the bus driver to wait for you while you go around looking for it. After a few minutes of dashing form classroom to classroom, you realize it was in your bookbag all along and return to the very p*ssed bus driver.
Then when you get home you remember you were supposed to go to your guitar lesson, and you have no way of getting there.  You sigh, call your instructor, and apologize. Then you immediately have a shower and do your chores because you know if you don't, your mom will be VERY angry with you. Unfortunately, when she gets home all she can mention is that the house is too cold and that you did a sh*tty job of setting the fire.
Then you just wish the day would be over...

My new BF doesnt know that we are still friends. But he has no reason to worry, cos I'm not in love with my ex anymore! Plus, faith is one of the basis of a relationship.
He (my ex) is precious as a friend - but there is no devotion and desire anymore. There is no way that I'd go back to him. And I LOVE my new guy... SO MUCH... Like no one before... There are no words to decribe how I feel..

Its speaks volumes  for the difference in  cultures that so much of British cinema and television (especially soaps) doesn't have happy endings. Seems americans like to escape the drudgery of their day to day lives, while Brits like to be reminded of their depressingly mundane  existance. Over here anything "upbeat" is regarded with a deep suspicion.

The wife likes a peaceful day on her own, so she can just slump on the sofa and watch mindless telly, so I go to the bar and watch Sky and drink beer with the lads! I usually cook something earlier that can just be heated up when I stumble home. Perfect really. Don't tell me you've already forgotten what it was like to be single? ;)

I only see my girlfriend twice a week, and it's been like that for five years (her parents didn't know about us) so I've gotten into trouble for being a bit too single a few times (no infidelity, just the odd drug digression). Now I'm quite content sitting at home with a bottle of wine on my nights off from love.
Might get a little bag of grass, go down to Soho and sit in some outdoor cafe and drink beer and smoke a few ciggies. Just for old times sake. Then home before dark for fish and chips and match of the day.
All these things I can do with her by the way. But on the odd occassion we get some grass she thinks "if we're careful we could make this last a month" whereas I think "if we smoke all of this now we could get really really out of it." This difference in attitude is the one bugbear in our relationship.

At the break time when we were in the cantine one guy took the knife from the table and raised it it against me! (real Kaili's priest!) I could be dead! But there was my teacher! She helper me!
And after the lessons two boys from eighth class stole my keys. But one my friend brought me back my keys! Thank him a lot!

Although I'm very anti the bastardisation (spellled with an 's') of the English language, the 'u's', and the 'zed' mostly make sense to me. I cannot though, understand where the pronunciation for Aluminium (Aloominum), and Nuclear (nucular) come from. As I understand, you do spell them the same way that we do?
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: harihead on February 27, 2008, 02:07:48 PM
We spell it "aluminum".

"Nucular" is a product of my father's generation. I don't know why it came into common use. Wiki takes a stab at it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucular

President Eisenhower was probably the one who popularized it.

Personally I see it as more of a colourization. Language should reflect the people who speak it. I'd hate to see us become like the French, fighting some p*ss-in-the-wind war against change (they have made the use of some english words illegal, have an academy that rules over the language etc)
I read Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue" on holiday. He makes the point that because it english hasn't been subject to any institutional control  it has developed into the wonderful, organic beast that it is.
He mentions the english/american split, and I think mentions the aluminium thing. He also talks about the meaning of "mad" that we didcussed on another  (SFF?) thread. I'll take a peek tonight.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

It was Webster, the dictionary guy, that changed the spelling of those words. It's interesting. Someone mentioned him the other day and said he believed that eventually American English would evolve and change so much because of all the words introduced to it by people coming here from other countries that it would be a completely new language separate from the English spoken in England. He wasn't right about that, but he was correct on a lot of other things. I looked him up. Interesting  reading!

His most important improvement, he claimed, was to rescue "our native tongue" from "the clamor of pedantry" that surrounded English grammar and pronunciation. He complained that the English language had been corrupted by the British aristocracy, which set its own standard for proper spelling and pronunciation. Webster rejected the notion that the study of Greek and Latin must precede the study of English grammar. The appropriate standard for the American language, argued Webster, was, "the same republican principles as American civil and ecclesiastical constitutions", which meant that the people-at-large must control the language; popular sovereignty in government must be accompanied by popular usage in language. "The truth is general custom is the rule of speaking

These are from Bill Bryson's book "Mother Tongue." (highly recommended by the way.)
" It has often been said that if you want to hear what the speech of Elizabethan England sounded like you should go to the hills of Appalachia or the Ozarks...hillbilly words like tetchy, consarn it etc would have been heard on Elizabethan streets. After all, every person in America uses a great many expressions and pronounciations familiar to Shakespeare but which have since died out in England - gotten, the short a in bath...mad for angry, trash for rubbish etc.."
"Although the English kept the u in many words...they gave it up in several, such as terrour, horrour and governour Confusingly, they retained it for honourable but not honorary, colouring but not coloration, labourer not laborious. There is no logic to it, and no way of telling why some words gave up the u and others didn't. For a time it was fashionable to drop the u from honour and humour - Coleridge for one did it - but it didn't catch on."
Seems the Americans aren'r the only guilty ones.

Hi Sarah. His thoughts on Webster:
"By all accounts a severe, correct, humourless, religious, temperate man who was not easily liked, even by other severe, religious, temperate people."
"Not above stealing material from others, most notably a spelling book by Englishman THomas Dilworth."
"Webster is commonly credited with changing American spelling, but what is seldom realised is how wildly variable his own views on the matter were...he attacked the useful American tendency to drop the u from colour, humour, and the like."
"In his  American Dictionary Of The English Language the preface said that it was "desiirable to perpetuate the sameness" of American and British spellings and useage."
"Webster was responsible for American aluminum [over] British aluminium. His choice has the fractional advantage of brevity, but defaults in terms of consistency (potassium, radium etc)

Amongst other things. The symptoms are: feeling that you're awake (you're only about 40% awake), not being able to move, hallucinating, and not breathing. Generally you see things, usually people. I often see the missus walk in the bedroom, then a minute later she actually will, and I'll scream my f**king head off. She was positively charmed the first time she witnessed it. You also see what have become known as 'Shadow People'. Some 'sufferers' think this is real, and that you can only see them when you're in that state. I think that bollocks.

Then you should simply be able to paste it on your profile....Go to edit profile and paste it in the 'about me' section at the very bottom (If you have writteen some words.)

Hope that helps. :)

My grandfather was part of the Allied Occupation force in Germany in 1919 after World War One. While still in Belgium and guarding German POW's one of the entries in the battalion war diary reads (something like) "Sgt wilkinson assisted in the arrest of a Spanish civilian who fired a revolver at a Chinese policeman" ???!!!! People have told me the chinese copper might have had something to do with the chinese labourers used by the allies (ie slaves) but still, it sounds like a great beginning for someone like Inspector Poirot. The scene belongs in a movie.

you mean mark chapmann? the man who killed john lennon.the creepiest thing is exactly 13 years before he died magical mystery tour was released.  in the film magical mystery tourpicture is of John Lennon in the tour ticket shop, with the words 'The Best Way To Go Is By M & D Co' to his right. What does remain scary is that the company's initials - M D C - are also the initials of Mark David Chapman, John Lennon's murderer.

haha seriously? There are penises drawn everywhere in my school! Of course we are a sh*tty rural public school so that may have something to do with it.

im thinking school comes a little too soon, back then i wasnt willing to learn anythign when it was right there for me, now i find myself wanting to learn everythign and anything but dont have the resources that was on offer back then.

Do we want to learn more as we get older ? is school to soon ? should we be allowed to be kids/teenagers and then be schooled at an older age ? i know i wish i had paid more attention in class now but i think i hadn't matured enough back then to be able to sit and take in what was being thrown at me.

good luck! thankfully there are not too many complications that happen in foot surgeries (its better than the risks with open heart surgery) so im sure it'll turn out fine! on the bright side: you'll get out of school!

the sad thing is we probably never will know the full story of the beatles. the people with the information are almost all gone, and for the sake of the memories of those who have past, those remaining will probably never tell. but then again, there were some witnesses weren't there??? the beatles i think had a lot of things hidden about them. those thing, are possibly conceal right below the surface of are prying eyes, petrified,in the fragments of time left behind.

At the Liverpool School of Art in Gambier Terrace we had a large notice board in the dining area. Les Chadwick and I, together with a couple of mates, called ourselves 'The Natty Nut Society' and used to put drawings and strange stories and poems on the notice board. I suppose it was the influence of 'The Goon Show', whose humour appealed to young kids in their early teens. We also loved to listen to radio shows such as 'Dick Barton' and 'P.C.49.' The biggest talking point at one time was the TV screening of '1984' with Peter Cushing, which made front page news in the national press. After that, Les and I were hooked on Nigel Kneale and Quatermass and 'The Creatures' on television. I even started a magazine when the headmaster let me have an attic room to produce it in. In the first issue I had Les Chadwick write a piece for me which he called 'The One Legged Meat Ball.' You can see this bizarre sense of humour was also the humour that John Lennon had as he received the same influences - with Stanley Unwin and his 'fractured English' on radio and television and the 'Just William' books by Richmael Crompton - he wanted the author on the Sgt Pepper sleeve, but most of the Beatles choices were rejected

The English system is more correct in England. (And various other countries...just not the US!)

I once handed in a paper in college where I spelled theater as theatre and got marked off points. Which is stupid because we DO use that spelling over here quite often. But still, technically, it's not correct. If you're American.

People can do whatever they want though. I just think it's curious. For lack of a better word. It was my random thought for the day.

Ben and Jerry's rules, (not as much as Bobber of course(king2) ) but I'm not thrilled they're coming out with a John Lennon ice cream. Kind of cheesy.

Anyway, to my random thought:

You know when you have to be serious for long amounts of time, like when you're talking to your boss or somebody. I hate that. Thank God I work with kids. If I had to spend the entire day just being all business like and serious I might end up in a mental institution. I don't know how accountants do it.

I randomly thought of this old commercial today:
6mOEU87SBTU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mOEU87SBTU)

I have no idea why. God I used to LOVE that commercial. I remember having an old 45 of it that my stupid klutzy cousin broke. I was beyond annoyed. Now that I look back at this, it's probably the beginning of the hippy sell out that would turn into yuppie greed about a decade later.

I had the coolest dream last night. I dreamed that I went to a Beatles tribute concert where all the band members were like exact clones of the Beatles. I got invited backstage and made out with the Ringo (don't ask me why; Paul's the one I love). Oh, and the whole thing was in sepia tone. Pretty weird.

All in one day. Hmm.... was that too much??

I really wanted to cry today in the dentists off because I had braces a year ago and my retainer is basically a mouthguard. I hate it, I never wear it because I can't talk!!and it gets all spitty.
anyways...my back molars are moving and my front teeth are relapsing and I know it's my fault but I can't believe I let it get this bad!!

and I have surgery on my foot on Wednesday, I had one two years ago to shave down this extra bone in my left foot but now they're taking it out. I can't play soccer for 3 months and it's going to kill me! AND I'm coming back to school next year varsity soccer captain(as a junior) and I can't even run at tryouts even though I'm already on the team.
ok, so it's just hitting me that it's on WEDNESDAY and I'm being put to sleep. but they're letting me listen to my IPod until I get to sleep and I need a song to listen to. OF COARSE it will be the Beatles. But I'm so nervous. and I hope my LAST game isn't canceled tomorrow :'(

RANT ALERT!!! I think if the record companies went back to major pressings of vinyl, and made the CD retro, maybe they would cut down on music losses? Its a little more difficult to share vinyl, than mp3s. Yes I know it can be done, I'm a bootleg lover meself. I can see it now, "Did you pick up RANDOM BAND'S new single yet?" "No, I can't wait to hear the flip side!"
"Maybe we can hear it on the RADIO(an old way of hearing new songs)" I think this instant gratification has made music sloppy nowadays. Download new MP3, put it on your MP3 player and your off! Band sends new album that was made in two weeks via internet to company, company issues digital singles and digital albums almost instantly. Now don't get me wrong, I'm 19 and I think this. MP3 and what not is just fine. I would have never gotten many wonderful bootlegs, without MP3 or the Internet. Heck, I wouldn't be here! So I'm not a complete digital hater. I just think that with vinyl, you go home, hang your sleeve in a frame, put a poster from it up, soak in the cover art, WALK to your record player, put it on,
listen, then FLIP it over. You actually get to touch it!(CD's yes I know). It seems like vinyl was a MUSIC EXPERIENCE, like going to a CINEMA and seeing a widescreen roadshow. It was like an art exhibition. And you can watch go around, or play it at funny speeds. This new ARTIST is presenting you his labor of love, worked long and hard over, with much attention and care given to it, not just shuck it out and lets make some money. But there was plenty of that on vinyl too. Plus, vinyl just sounds warmer anyway, even if it is distortion. Phew... got that off me chest!

It's my opinion that the ocean is the proper place to leave squid and squishy things with tentacles generally.  ;D

I looked up the Beatles on Answers.com because they have a thing where you can hear the pronunciation of words. I wanted to see if they said Beedle or BeaTle. Because for beetle they said beeTle which I thought was weird considering it's supposed to be American pronunciation and all. But anyway, I thought this was funny:

The Beatles, Rock Band

    * Born: 1962
    * Birthplace: Liverpool, England
    * Died: 1970
    * Best Known As: The Fab Four


It's like the band itself is an entity. I don't know why, but I like that! ;D

Oh my God. It was beyond amazing. I wish I had the energy to tell you all about it. Amazing. Everyone was perfect. They REALLY did the Beatles justice. I have a newfound respect for Cheap Trick. Robin Zander's voice is a miracle.  But really, they were all so freaking GOOD!  I didn't know Ian Ball was from Liverpool. He was awesome. But then so was Billy Corgan! Sounded so much like Lennon at one point. Very overwhelming. And I didn't know that Simone was Nina Simone's daughter! And Rob Laufer used to play George in Beatlemania! They were all perfect. You could tell they were really heavy Beatle fans. A lot of love went into these performances.

Oh yeah, and Geoff Emerick was in the sound booth mixing the music for the show!!!! Or whatever the proper term for that is! The crowd went wild when they introduced him. Twice! And Donovan was backstage! Billy Corgan came out and said he ran into a magical pixie that showed him the chords to Julia! Apparently Donovan taught the chord progression to John in India. Or something like that. I'm probably not using the correct musical terminology! I was too excited!

I don't know if they do this around the country/world, but if they do...GO TO IT!!!!!! I'm on cloud #9!  ;)

I was almost in tears by the time they got to A Day in the Life.  :'( Too much!

Yes cell phones are seriously a rip off.  But I am sad to say I cannot live without mine.  It is a part of me.  When that happened today I panicked because I knew I wouldn't have another one until I got off work and then I went straight over and got a new one ASAP.  

I have officially "Beatled" out my new phone.  Inside and out  8)

And yes I know what you mean about being broke and appriciating what you have more.  I have had times in my life when we were not rich but well off, and I have had times when I had nothing to eat but instant noodles and bread.  Right now, I would say I am comfortable.  But I will tell you this:  Even when I was dirt poor, I was still happy.  Money is not everything.  But money sure does make life a whole lot easier!

Yay, I'm finally back on high speed connection! I had to go pick it up today and I swear it took me literally five hours to figure out how the hell to get it to work. I was ready to throw it out a window at one point. Then suddenly I did some mysterious thing and it worked! Have no idea what I did, but there you go! Finally I can enjoy YouTube again!!!  ;D

So tonight I've been looking at some old videos and photos of Brooke shields and all I can say is my oh my. It really scares me how much she was sexualized as a young child. Some of that stuff even verges on child pornography. I wish I could say that doesn't happen in today's society, but sadly, I could probably go through a magazine right now and find three examples of that kind of thing.

The not sleeping thing is a vicious cycle.  You get so tired you want to sleep but your at work or school or whatever...then when its time for bed you cannot sleep because you missed your chance to sleep.  At least thats what usually happens to me.  Then I stare at the clock and go "if I could just fall asleep now i will get 4 hours of sleep" and that makes it so much worse.

Andy, it`s all because of the damp weather in Britain. You should definitely go to some hot country right now! Cyprus, for example, there are a lot of Britons there. And the temperature is perfect: 40-45, as a rule.

I haven't slept well in three nights! I'm all burned out!
I've been baby sitting my cousin and he's sick. All night long he complains about stomach pain so I've been making pancakes for him and watched Disney movies for the last three nights.

I'm lucky that his mom is coming home tonight!
I wouldn't manage another night without sleep.

Oh! Practically the same happened to me the other day: I went to the dentist and While My Guitar Gently Weeps started to play there. With my mouth open I said, That`s my favourite song, or rather tried to say it. Imagine the scene! After my second attempt he got me but told to sit quietly. And the day turned into music for me, I liked the dentist, I liked his drilling and all!

Mick is ok....I think him being who he is makes him sexier.  I mean if he was just some guy and was walking down the street, I probably wouldn't give him a second look.  But he can dance and since he is a legend, there is some appeal to that.

But if you're wondering how I painted "John Lennon" on my nails, first thing is I didn't litrally draw John on my nails. I just wrote his name.
Second, I took a mechanical pencil tip, covered it with paint, and wrote on my nails.

I got those tickets under lock and key!!  

Ringo tends to tour every couple years or so (I am pretty sure), so next time around you have to go!!!  Paul suppossedly is doing his last "big" tour, so make sure you check it out.  Coming up next year I think.....


I have come to the conclusion that everyone who is a Beatle fan needs to go see Ringo and Paul.  I mean I really hope they have many more years to come, but they are getting up there in years..... I am so sad I never got to see George.  John died a little less than a year and half before I was born, so I never even had a chance there.

Yes I heard about the earthquake.  I hope everyone is ok.  I have lived in California for 20 years and never once felt an earthquake.  That is probably the one advantage to living in Sacramento.  No earthquakes, mudslides, fires, etc.

It was only a 5.3. So not too bad. Biggest one I've ever felt though! And it lasted a while. So weird. It's been on the news all day. They do this here whenever any little thing happens. Like rain. God forbid we get a rain storm that lasts for more than ten minutes. Then it's like: STORM CENTRAL all over the news.

Lime green Paulie!  :o Wow! A friend of mine once painted her toe nails orange and yellow and I ask her why these colours and she says, well its summer.  :-/ And back in Israel, my friend painted her nails according to the football league she supported (green and white i think it was)

Freakchic- ill choose John Lennon , seems to be quite equivalent to the other three... in a way   :)

I just had a calculus test.. I hate tests! There's no point in them! Give me an assignment to do and I ll do it and might even enjoy it... but no! they have to see what you remember in one bloody hour plus how fast you can bloody write! Useless! tomorrow I got accounting... good luck for me there, i'd bloody need it!  >:(

But yay, the mid-term break is here (and yay, I have 2 assignments for it (lol) )

By the way, I used to think I Am the Walrus was a conservation/environment-protection song ;D I thought that getting a tan from standing in the English rain referred to acid rain, and that the semolina pilchard was climbing up the Eiffel Tower because the water is too polluted for him, and that is why the Walrus is crying.

^ oh yeah, history... I used to quite like it actually :) (Except it does get rather sad sometimes, unfortunately :-/ )

One time in a history class the teacher read out amusing mistakes that people made in their projects (don't worry, she didn't mention names). In one project someone forgot to finish the last sentence so his summary looked like this: "King Henry VIII did a lot of good for his country. He died." Oops! (lol)
And in another project someone meant to write "Queen Elizabeth was raised a protestant" but they misspelled protestant and you can imagine what that word actually came out as ;)

Good luck with school everyone :)

"9-11" 2001 was the second day for my son, Greg, in his "special" school".  I was there at the school when all of this was going on, school closed, we went home, and the city basically "shut down" for the day...........very scarey....
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: fan numero uno on September 12, 2008, 01:07:05 AM
our school didnt shut down, and i was in like, first grade. we all had no idea what was going on, just that the teachers were being all suspicious, and basically, you found out from your parents, if they wanted you to know. i just saw my dad watching the news, which he never did, and asking what was happeneing...didnt get a straight answer, exactly..

^^^^^^^That's how it was at Greg's school.  If the parents wanted to take their kids home, they could, no days "docked".  I didn't have my computer at the time, so TV was the only media we were getting the info.

One of my pets died tonight. His name was Speedy and we had him for 2 and a half years. Most people shudder at the thought of rats as pets but tame rats are among the most affectionate and intelligent of animals. Me and my g/f buried him in the garden and we'll miss him terribly. I hope everyone forgives me this self-indulgence but its amazing how attached you can get to a creature so tiny.

Here's a pic of him when he was a young whippersnapper.

Sorry to hear about your rat The Dude... I never had the misfortune of having a pet that died, but I remember being quite sad when we had to give our dog away...

I don't like politics either, freakchic... :-/ On the other hand, I really admire the people who are getting themselves up there to improve things in their country. I still can't get my head around the fact that certain people can make decisions that are then followed by a whole country (bigeyes1). It's kind of confusing to follow though, politics... :-/ Actually, we're having elections down here next month :) Labour's been in for 9 years now, so looks like a change is on the way. I always found that both of our "main" parties are quite similar though, but then I'm useless at politics ;D

Thanks guys.

Following on from freakchic's post, something funny (both ha-ha and peculiar) happened to me yesterday. I was on my lunch break and was sitting outside a local cafe eating and having a coffee. The weather was lovely yesterday so I figured lunch al fresco was the order of the day. So there I am, eating, drinking and pondering how many more sales I will get before I knock off work, and I see an old lady in her eighties. shuffling along slowly with a little Yorkshire Terrier (or Pomeranian as Walter calls them) who looked equally as old in dog years as she did in human years. They're taking their time, not hurrying. They both seemed content where they were in life and content to be in each other's company.

'Awwww', I thought. 'That's nice.'

.... and then the old woman hawked and spat on the floor.

I didn't finish my lunch.

Anyways, today, I was tie-dying with FNU and her younger sister. It was fun and then after that, we rolled around in my yard and then went to this playground/ field. It was so weird! People kept leaving and then appearing again!!! Then, I asked everyone how they got there. We were kinda confused and everything! I had the right to ask.

And then, I shot a potato gun!!!

Didn't post much today.  I was at the hospital in ER all day with my dad.  He kept thinking he was developing a blood clot on his left leg.  He said it hurt like hell.  He's had all kinds of problems within the last two years.............open heart surgery-5 bypass-a stoke, Parkinson's Disease, pacemaker put in last summer and on and on and on.  Sleeps with a breathing machine, has oxygen tank at the house and a host of wheelchairs, cains, and walkers.................He'll be 83 in October.
But today, I had to drive him to the ER and get that leg checked out.  Ran tests and stuff on it.....not a clot, but a pulled hamstring.  Thank god!!!  But what wears you out at the hospital is the sitting and waiting.  He wearing me, MOM and Jeff OUT with all his ailments.  But we all still want him around longer.  Just thought I'd share.............that's one of my "home full time jobs"..........

My grandparents are reasonably alright for their age, but I wish is that I could see them more often. Last time i saw them was about 8yrs ago...

Now i am 176 words over the limit and to reference it.

ah, i wish i still had a cat! ive had three over the course of my life so far, but all ended tragically...


Katt, the cat, was stolen by my old neighbors when they moved, because he was a stray we found, and wandered around a lot, so my neighbors "fed him more than we did" apparently......(yeah right)

Mona Lisa was 22,ish, so it was nearly her time anyways. her back was broken by a dog, (not ours, though) and she had to be put down. no pain, though. thankfully.

Tiger had some random heart problem. he was only like, 8-9 years old.

So sorry to hear the tragedies that have befallen your poor little kittys.

I had two cats, but I down to one now, I think I had told the story of my cat, the Lizard King.  Now I just have Smithers, who I call Mister for short. He is on youtube eating catnip  8)

What I love about cats is they have so much personality.  Anyone watch Meet The Parents?
The dog is an emotionally shallow animal
See, Greg, if you yell at a dog, his ears will go down and his tail will cover his genitals even if he's done nothing wrong. It's very easy to break a dog. But cats make you work for their affection. Cats don't sell out like dogs do.
Do you prefer an emotionally shallow animal  ;D

Post by: fan numero uno on October 09, 2008, 02:20:51 AM
Well, actually, i love both cats and dogs. probably the best pet ive ever had was my rottweiler-black lab mix, named Butcher. (also known as Butchie, Butchie boy, and my little puppy dog) he was the nicest thing ever, even if he was intimidating. he lived to be 15 years old, pretty good for a dog that size!

noting against cats, love them as well! Mona Lisa was the gentlest little thing, and her mother, a wild stray, was apparently very smart! when she had kittens, she brought them up to all the houses that had people in them, and refused to take them back, which is how my dad got Mona Lise, against his my grandmothers wishes...

Oh yes I love dogs too.  We used to breed White German Shepards, and we had a few during the years I was going up.  One in particular, who died when he was 14 years old.  He was such a good dog.  Shepards are great loving family dogs and wonderful protectors.

I hope to get a yellow lab soon myself.

I am watching now as we speak. No matter how many times I watch that movie, I never grow tired of it.  They don't make movies like that too often.  Someparts you want to cry, other parts you have to laugh.  And even though it is a bit long, I don't find that it drags at all.

so, this one kid throws the ball to me, and it hits me in the side of the head. it wasnt really that hard of a throw, but it must have been hard enough, because it knocked one of my earrings out! but, i still caught the ball, and scored a touchdown. :)


but seriously, that is NOT the way you are supposed to take earrings out...it hurt a bit, but there was no blood, so im hoping its all good! but it was still rather strange....

Why does your math teacher--of all people--care if you're perky?  But I get it...I have a supervisor who's the exact same way.  I'm definitely not perky by nature, but whenever I see her, I have to plaster a huge sloppy grin on my face no matter what.  Sometimes it really effing bites.

Thursdays are my least favorite day of the week this semester...it just goes on and on.

I just read something on another thread that made me feel so much better... (smiley)

About the least favourite day of the week - in terms of work, I'm thinking either Monday or Wednesday. Monday because it's the start of the week and sometimes I sort of worry about how the week will go; and Wednesday becuase it's half-way through the week, you're already tired but still not close enough to the weekend.
But when I'm just studying, I don't have a particular least-favourite day - the only days I don't like are test/exam/presentation days (grin)

Awww, Penny-Laney... plenty of Beatles/Paulie love going around here though 8) (grin)
Fortunately I haven't come across any serious lack of understanding yet. In fact, my friend borrowed my ipod on Monday and since it's mostly filled up with Beatles songs, she had a listen to some of them 8) And she seems to have liked them ;D
The funny thing with that friend was that once we walked past a Beatles poster in Burger King and she pointed at Paul and George and said they look exactly the same ;D

Dad's still in the hospital.  They're finally going to take him out of the Clinical Decision Care Unit and give him a room.  His heart doctor said his blood presure is jumping all over the place because his insides are drying up????  Dad drinks alot of juice and coffee, but not alot of water.  And he has only one kidney.  So he is on a constant IV untill he's released from the hospital.  So it looks to be another couple of days there for him.............

Thanks everyone.  Just brought dad home earlier this evening.  I'm gonna have to make an appointment with his kidney doctor for a full exam.  His heart doctor said that from all the tests they did, he's not drinking enough water and his kidney is acting up.  Dad has only one kidney, lost the other to cancer in 1977.  It was like dad was dehydrating and that's what caused the blood pressure to race.
Anyways............thanks everyone for thoughts and prayers.   Dad is home, for now, and I hope for a while.

That's an excellent point, too.  I know of some older guys who act immature as well.

I was just complaining about teenage boys based on my memories from high school, and how some of them treated me like dirt.  Thankfully I'm way past high school now, but my memories remain.  I had a funny teacher who told me that "Teenage boys are the scum of the earth"--and that teacher was a man!   ;D

Espically in high school guys are the scum of the earth!  I asked one of my "friends" to our senior prom (yeah, I kinda liked him too...) and he said yes but then asked a mutual friend of ours and didn't tell me nor her.  So that made for real interesting times (given we had a class where there were only 8 of us, I was the only girl and I think that our teacher noticed the tension)
The guy that I had a thing going with from about December of last year until the beginning of June this year was 22 and I'm 19, but he was one of those types that rathered playing guitar and video games rather than going out and getting a job.

Sorry, I just had to spill with talking about this.

And since when do we , teenagers, care what society frowns upon?  ;) Better to have an older man than a younger. And I find older men more interesting too, then again a 10yr age difference that would be too much I think.
However, did you know that in some cultures you are expected to have a big age difference between the man and woman. I think its becuase women tend to "get older" faster than men.

I know a young woman who is 33-34 with a child, who has left her husband for a man her age, actually her former classmate. Her husband was 50 years old and she complained that she felt bored with him, he didn`t want to go out, to meet her friends, he preferred to stay at home. He is rather rich, by the way, has houses in at least three countries. But nothing could stop her, her new boyfriend doesn`t have much and lives at her place. She keeps on saying that difference in age is a bad thing...

Their "Packback Writer" for example .. Or "Gearge"s "Here comes the sun" solo ...
Only downer is that Eddie McClain isn't their John any more. His voice was so sililar to Lennons ...

Yeah, we've got that here too.

In the Netherlands we celebrate Saint Nicholas's holiday (Sinterklaas) on December 5th, which is a pretty big deal here (the average Dutch family spends 185 euros on christmas gifts and 135 on Sinterklaas gifts). The last few years there are more and more shops that have christmas decorations before December 5th and there's a lot of resistance against that. Because many people see that as an old Dutch tradition being replaced by imported American commercialism...

I remember seeing some of the Christmas stuff out in Sears on September 30th one year. I was in the underground concourse downtown heading toward my bank or something, and on the way through the lower level of Sears I saw Christmas wreaths on a very jolly-looking seasonal candy display. I probably took the underground route because it was too bloody hot outside, too. Amazing.

I need to find the "pet thread" here.............there is one, isn't there????  We just added a new addition to our "family".  Jeff and I went out today and bought, or I should say "rescued" a pure bred Pomeranian male from this white trash family.  They had it advertised in the paper for $100, no papers.  I was sckeptical.  We went to the town where the dog was at and the house and yard was awful!!!!!  Trash everywhere.  The people wouldn't even let me in the house.  They brought the dog out to us.  And he is the most beautiful, full bred, "fox red" "Pom" I've ever seen.  The lady said she only had him a month and he didn't get along with her three Chihuahuas.  So we bought him on the spot.  "Rosco" has some fleas, so we bathed him as soon as we got home.  Jeff is taking him to the local vet for a checkup and for treatment of his fleas.  From what we know, Rosco is a two year old male, "fixed" and housetrained.  That's all I wanted.  Rosco is Greg's early Christmas present.  Just pray there's nothing serious wrong with him.  I did my good deed today with rescueing Rosco.

Well, I do think something good came out of this bad year. Two weeks ago I came to a conclusion: if you don't feel all that great and there's no good mood to be ruined, you might as well go out and do all the things you've been pushing forward but really should do. So last week I went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years (always had an intense fear of going to the dentist), I got my first pair of glasses (until recently I just tried to deny that my sight isn't as good as it once was) and today I drastically cleaned up my place. And I can tell you: it does help...  :)

I really wish I could get out what I need to.  Man it's like all my friends see when thy look at me all they see is money, a car and niavity...  I feel so stupid and used and I hate it.  I feel so stupid, sorry guys, like I said I had to get it out somewhere, I can't on Facebook, I can't on LiveJournal, I can't text anyone or talk to my family.  I'm sorry guys.

HeyJude, I am sorry to hear that.  Every since I got the job I have now, I have had so many people ask to borrow money.  And I am like, what the heck?  Sometimes it's things like this that help you figure out who your real friends really are.  Try to look at it in that sense, now you know who is really there for you and who is there for materialistic things.  

I would ask friends sometimes if they just want to hang out instead of going out (going out entails spending money), and I found true friends are willing to just hang out and others only want to hang out if your going out and your buying.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: HeyJude18 on November 16, 2008, 03:32:02 AM
Thanks Heather.  We ususally do just hang out.  But you know sometimes you don't want to just sit around at home or what not, you want to go out.  Then again, I'm 19 and going out's still a bit of a novelty to me.  I just feel like my friends don't apericiate me and it annoys me because I've always been so honest with them but I can't.  Like my bestfriend one day asked me why I was selfless.  I guess I never realized it, I thought that was what being a good friend was but I've been taken advantage of so much.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: HeatherBoo on November 16, 2008, 03:38:16 AM
And you know it's one thing if someone is broke at the moment and you pick up the tab or whatever, but you know you would expect them to do the same when your broke.  No one is really keeping notes on who is doing what, but when you start to realize you are the one who is constantly paying or driving...not cool.  or if someone asks you to go somewhere only because they don't have any other way of getting there...again not cool.

I think that is part of life.  Luckily you are figuring it out now.

HeyJude, sorry you are feeling so down.  I know what it's like to feel "trapped" and not being able to talk to anybody, including family and friends.  (And sometimes they are the ones who are causing your problems, and that's when you definitely can't say anything to them!)  Sometimes it is more comforting to talk to strangers; that is, people who can look at things more objectively (and they can't gossip about stuff to your friends, too).  Feel free to vent here.

Last year I was going through some rough financial and personal issues, and one of my friends was getting madder and madder at me because she felt like I was ignoring her.  And the truth is, I was.  It wasn't to be mean but I just felt so overwhelmed about things that were happening at home, and I think I was so emotionally and physically exhausted that I just had no desire to "be there" for her.  I wound up writing her a brief note explaining my situation but got very little sympathy back from her--which made me very angry because I thought she would rise to the occasion and be mature enough to understand what was going on with me.  I guess my point is that there is only so much of yourself that you can give to your friends, and sometimes your needs have to come first.

I have noticed the past few years that my hearing isn't what it used to be, and I am only 26.  But all those years of raves/clubs and stupid I know but when I was younger it was cool to have "bass" in the car and have it so loud...I regret it now because I fear what is to come. I have such a hard time hearing people on the phone.

My dad was a musician for most of his life and always was out playing in various bars and clubs. And his hearing was TERRIBLE as he got older. Especially when it came to the phone and also hearing noises like beeps of a pager or a cell phone or maybe a doorbell.  

I heard that earphone are really bad for you, and I use them everyday at work  :-/

Have any of you guys ever invented a word? Some friends and I invented one. 'Lerg'. It was nonsense talk for something else, but I forgot what. Now it is basically an interjection like 'dude'. It can have many meanings, depending on the tone of your voice. We say it all the       time-especially to annoy my English teacher.

Title: Re: Random Thoughts

The dentist I had when I was young was a really unpleasant guy. And because I used to eat too much candy and drink too much Coke (don't do any of that anymore) he found cavities pretty much every time I came for a check up, and he'd talk to me almost like I'd done something horrible and had to be punished. So I became terribly afraid of going to the dentist. When I was 18 my parents stopped forcing me to go, so I simply stopped going. Even when a molar broke off a few years ago I didn't go, even though it obviously hurted like hell. A few weeks ago I decided it was time for me to just 'grow up' and have another check up. Because I didn't have one for over 11 years I was afraid there was an awful lot of work to be done, but it wasn't as bad as I expected: 'just' five cavities. So today I had the first two fixed and it was a breeze. When I was lying in that chair I really thought, "Jesus Christ, is this what I've been so afraid of for so many years?"... So it seems I just got rid of a phobia that's been bothering me for most of my life... Such a relief...  :)

I don't know if this is too cliche but I love "The End":

"And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make."

"Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans."

Here's a solution for your problem:
1. steal a car, drive on your intuition
2. Steal some money
3. Dont tell the parents

During the trip think up of a story to tell the parents how you ended up in a far away land and how you stole money and car to get back.

No, thats just me being me-ish.   ;D ;D ;D

and, we have a conversion van in the driveway only used for camping, so theres a car. as for money, a lot of rich people live down the street, and me and freakchic always tell my dad that we steal from them anyways, so it'll make sense if we actually did! as for my parents, they'll probably be relieved if im gone for a few weeks!

The original Saint Nicholas lived in what is now Turkey. The Dutch then turned him into this Sinterklaas character (who, for some reason, comes from Spain in our stories) and later on 'exported' him to America. The Americans then turned Sinterklaas into Santa Claus. And it was a Swedish artist who gave him his current looks.

This is him:

([url]http://www.rulecam.net/pivotbeta/images/sinterklaas.gif[/url])

Why discussed him last year, didn't we? His suit used to be more purple, that's the bishop's colour, right? But as the immigrants took the tradition with them to America, he became a figure who was coming from the North Pole by sledge, not by boat from Spain. And the colour is coming from Coca Cola. It's Coca Cola red he's wearing...

Santa Claus is basically Sinterklaas without all the religious features. They kinda turned him into a human teddy bear. And teddy bears are usually made in China.

So what it comes down to: Santa is a mixture of a Turkish bishop and a Chinese toy. So he's Asian.  ;D

I went to my friend's bat mitzvah yesterday and I had an emotional breakdown. I get a little people claustrophobic and there was over 100 people there, so I got so panicky and I ended up curling up into a ball on the floor.
At least I looked good! I'd have pictures up, but my camera died last minute, but I'm making my friend email me pictures.

Why are the college classes cancelled if it snows? You mean you can`t get to the college, the roads are blocked? Or is it because of the temperature? Too low?
Our school classes are sometimes cancelled due to very low temperature (-25 degrees Celsius), which actually happens very rarelly, but never just because of snow.

saved money by changing the wifes gas tank on her car...she has a 92 ford tempo i bought her when her 93 quit running...we kept the dead car for parts...so earlier at 5 oclock she called me at work and said i got bad news...my fuel pump quit working....i asked her what do you want me to do about it here at work?she hung up...the b****...i called back and asked her what could we do about it until i got home...she said we can take it out of the other car,it's mounted in the gas tank...there are sometimes special clips that hold these gas lines on....and you gotta get a new gasket when you take the old pump out of the tank to replace it...i told her i would change the gas pump after work...at dark 30...so again she hung up....i thought you b**** again...maybe it would be easier i thought just to change the whole tank instead...same kind of cars....so i called right back and said we will just swap tanks,go ahead and pull the other one out and i'll finish when i get home...sonia is very mechanical,she can do almost anything on a car with the right directions...she changed a timing belt on an over head cam engine...so on the way home i called to see about the progress and there was none...the bolts were too tight...anytime i work on her car it never goes smooth....so i was prepared for a rough night under the car...but when i got home wayne and craig helped me and we swapped  the two tanks in a little under an hour...and it worked...great stuff...we had to jack the cars up and remove the tanks and everything was smooth as silk...'''
on another note roofing has slowed down here b4 the holidays...so i am gonna take a few guys and go roof in texas for a few months...1000 miles away....they still have storm damage....we will venture home on weekends i guess...

Freddie Mercury can't be very popular in Russia then.

Colder than a witches tit here.

What is this personal comment based on? Do you mean that straight guys don`t like gay guys? I know nothing of the sort. But I see, that is what the situation is like in Britain or Denmark.??? However, in Russia they don`t give a damn what one`s sexual life is like. Freddie is loved by a great number of people here, there are very many Queen fans and Queen clubs. I personally know some fans. I love Freddie for his wonderful music, his songs, his talent. Especially I like his young image of The Night At The Opera, it feels me with tenderness. Besides, Freddie was a very kind and generous person, a really good person. So nothing can be further from the truth than your remark.
But what is true is true: extremely few gays. I know one and suspect two more of all the male guys i have ever in my life had a chance of speaking to. My friends think the same.

And it`s still very warm: t +9C

I can understand you  ;) But I find the "new russians" as they are called, I find them very ... "ugh" type of people. I dont explain myself well, i know.

I have a thing for British guys, or their accent more like,  ;D

There are no New Russians (=idiots) now, you are right they were disgusting. However, you seem to be a bit behind the current situation. It was typical of the early 90s. Now there are rich and extremely rich Russians instead of those "chmo".

I like British guys too, I find them very handsome and the accent is fantastic.  ;) :)

Well...you could take a video of you hugging yourself, upload it on your computer, then send it in an e-mail. Or, if you're doing snail-mail, you could take a picture of yuo hugging yourself and send that in the letter. I that doesn't work, I don't know what to do.

What exactly are New Russians?  Are they like nouveau riche people?

British guys are sexy, yes...gotta love the accents and the handsome faces. ;)

Does anyone here think that standard American accents are sexy??

Statement 1. You are absolutely right. These were people in the early 90s who managed to make fast money, become rich and who showed off their wealth by buying a lot of things, wearing gold, driving expensive cars, but lacking in good taste and what is more important having no education. However, those people are no longer seen. I think their wealth didn`t last long. Now people who do deserve it are getting wealthy thanks to their education, qualifications, skills. Certainly there are olygarchs and many of them have remained since those times.
Statement 2. For me British guys are the best, though a recent poll has it that Italian men are the most handsome, with irresistible smiles, self-confident, characterised by civilized manners and behaviour. Women-respondents also said that age and hair/baldness doesn`t matter. But perfume does.
Statement 3. As for me I enjoy American accents but have to confess that they are easier to imitate, once you get used to them, than British ones. The most difficult thing is intonation and duration of sounds. American intonation is rather monotonously jumping, while British is so various, up and down, the sounds are so different: short, long, checked, deep...

Yeah, great fun. People like you and Jane are the anarchist kind of people. You don't give a fuc* about who is taking care of things over here. People that keep the forums readable, accessable and taking care of the fact that the whole thing is not endlessly repeating itself. Looking after double threads. After pictures that don't show up.

Shopping for baby things is not all that easy.  My sister-in-law is having a baby next year, and my husband is intent that we buy safe, organic, all-natural things for our future niece or nephew.  We had a good time shopping together but I was not amused at how very expensive all these "safe" and "organic" baby things are!  I'm not into baby stuff to begin with so this was even more of a turn-off.

I was also looking for simple children's books for the baby.  I was raised on Disney as a kid so I was thinking more along the lines of sweet little stories.  

My Swiss hubby, on the other hand, was raised on German books like the Grimm Brothers, Der Struwwelpeter, and Max und Moritz.  Der Struwwelpeter and Max und Moritz in particular are basically stories that tell kids that if you do bad things, bad things will happen to you in return.  (If you suck your thumbs, they'll be cut off.  If you play with matches, you'll burn into a pile of ashes.  And so on and so forth.  Oh, those Germans!)  While I think the stories are amusing--in a twisted, sick sort of way--I don't think our more wholesome American sister-in-law would enjoy them for her child. ;D

That one's creepy. No like. I have the cover CD, but I still prefer the originals. The people who sung for Schoolhouse Rock were amazing. The Saturday Morning Cartoon cover CD is also pretty cool. Love the Ramones cover of Spiderman and the Fat Albert theme. Although, the original is way better. Seventies cartoons ruled.

 info on the creators

 

Every Saturday morning between 1973 and 1985, a classroom of imagination defying enormity was assembled on ABC, run by a small cadre of renegade Madison Avenue ad men. Class sessions were short but intense-squeezed between episodes of Scooby Doo and LaffOlympics and Underoos met the dress code. No one assigned homework, no one slapped your knuckles with a yardstick, no one beat you up for your milk money. The institution of learning was called Schoolhouse Rock, and if you can recite the Preamble of the Constitution by rote and know the function of a conjunction, you probably attended faithfully.


The series of animated cartoon shorts-41 segments in all-used appealingly goofy characters, catchy tunes and repetition (airing as often as seven times each weekend) to teach Fruity Pebbles consumers about multiplication tables, the parts of speech, American history, science and computer mechanics. Schoolhouse Rock's genesis took place in 1971 when David McCall, chairman of big-time New York ad agency McCaffrey & McCall, noticed that his son could sing every Beatles and Stones lyric ever recorded but couldn't handle simple multiplication tables. His solution was simple: Link math with contemporary music and the kids will breeze through school on a song. To implement his idea, McCall turned to his agency's creative staff, who passed the songwriting chores over to a traditional Broadway jingle house with less than brilliant results. Fortunately, agency co-ercive director George Newall suggested they hire Bob Dorough, a Texas jazz musician with a knack for infectious grooves. The composer/pianist accepted the mission with great enthusiasm, plowing through his daughter's arithmetic books and plunking out notes until he'd created the soothing ballad "Three Is a Magic Number."

McCall loved the results, but being an advertising executive, he demanded statistical proof that the world at large would love it too. Only after test audiences (consisting of elementary-school students and university professors, who verified the accuracy of each song released) gave the tune a thumbs-up did McCall approve the release of "Three Is a Magic Number" as a phonograph record, which, along with several other songs, eventually was released by Capitol Records under the title Multiplication Rock.

The ad men hoped to secure a workbook tie-in deal to go along with the record, but when that fell through, they decided to do an animated adaptation using their own money. M&M's other creative director, Tom Yohe, sat down at his kitchen table to draw up some storyboards, and "Three Is a Magic Number" was transformed into sound and motion for the sum of "$15,000 or some ridiculous amount like that," says Schoolhouse Rock producer Radford Stone.

The next major hurdle involved finding a market for the spot. At the time, ABC was devoting a lot of time to fretting about the naughtiness and violence of their programming and had begun to buckle under parental and political pressure to clean up their act. Of particular concern was the commercial content of its Saturday-morning lineup. Enter Radford Stone proposing a series of educational and otherwise socially redeeming cartoons.

ABC's head of children's programming at the time, a guy named Michael Eisner (yes, that Michael Eisner), and his animation advisor, Chuck Jones, fell prey to the charms of "Three Is a Magic Number." They gave the agency the go ahead to produce segments for the rest of the multiplication tables-with the bulk of animation provided by Phil Kimmelman & Associates, a production company specializing in animation for advertising. The network, however, didn't want to surrender advertising revenue every time they taught a few million kids the answer to three times six. McCaffrey & McCall had a solution. They convinced another one of their clients, General Foods, to sponsor Schoolhouse Rock, thus giving GF the good name and ABC the big bucks. In a further triumph of innovative business strategies, Eisner instructed Hollywood animation studios like Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. to cut three-minute modules from their shows. That way, ABC could use the extra time to run the Schoolhouse Rock segments, and when the shows went into syndication, the three-minute modules could be restored. The studios grumbled, but even then Michael Eisner had the muscle to push his wishes through. With all the behind-the-scenes deals out of the way, Schoolhouse Rock premiered on the weekend of January 6-7, 1973, with "My Hero Zero," "Elementary, My Dear," "Three Is a Magic Number" and "The Four-Legged Zoo."

George Newall remembers the original recording sessions with fondness, remarking, "Going to those sessions was wonderful, because in those days, real guys came in and played real instruments, and New York had the best session players in the world. Nowadays, instead of a roomful of musicians, you've got three guys standing around with Proteus modules."

Grammar Rock succeeded Multiplication Rock, drilling the parts of speech into youngsters' heads. Joining the creative team for the new segments was Lynn Ahrens, a secretary at the ad agency. One day, Newall spied her walking through the office with a guitar case, and when he asked her if she played, she performed for him on the spot impressing him so much that the agency made her a copywriter. Not long after, she wrote and sang on "A Noun Is a Person, Place or Thing" and several other classic SHR spots. Since then, Ahrens has gone on to earn five Tony nominations for her work on the Broadway musicals Once on This Island and My Favorite Year.

By 1976, a patriotic fervor had gripped the nation. Kids were hoarding bicentennial quarters and riding around on red, white and blue Huffys. Schoolhouse Rock responded with segments about American history, which they produced underthe banner America Rock, and which ABC, for reasons mysterious, called History Rock. The lessons became more ambitious, now addressing such topics as Colonial military prowess ("The Shot Heard 'Round the World"), the concept of Manifest Destiny ("Elbow Room"), and women's rights ("Sufferin' Till Suff**e").

"Mother Necessity," in particular, proved a logistical nightmare. Says Bob Dorough, "We used all of our Schoolhouse Rocksingers, and we had to record 20 seconds in Los Angeles, then fly to New York to record another five seconds there, and so on." The result was a mixed jumble of melodies linked by a two-line chorus. Not that the spot wasn't as influential on society as the rest of SHR. A Radio City Music Hall show celebrating the nation's utter greatness saw the Rockettes dancing behind projected scenes from SHR, including an image culled from "Mother Necessity"-a towering smokestack with Tom Yohe's name painted boldly up its side. "Each letter was about the size of my head," reports Yohe.

Perhaps even more memorable was "I'm Just a Bill," in which a depressed little scroll of paper is dragged through the labyrinthine legislative process by which a bill becomes law. Not surprisingly, a number of government agencies and lobbyists asked for copies to educate their own staffs.

Although no one found any controversy in times tables or parts of speech, ABC did have a problem with one America Rock segment, "Three Ring Government," which dealt with the system of checks and balances among the three branches of government. Skittish in dealings with the FCC, ABC didn't want to risk insulting bureaucrats with "Three Ring's" circus motif, and the segment didn't air until several years after it had been produced.

Science Rock followed next, exploring such topics as the human circulatory system, depletion of the Earth's energy resources, and electrodynamics. One song frequently requested on this series was "Telegraph Line," about the nervous system. "Most of the requests came from medical schools," Tom Yohe recalls, "which doesn't give me a lot of confidence in our medical system. They wanted to show it to first-year medical students. It explained in a very simple, graphic way how the nervous system works."

The final Schoolhouse Rock series, Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips, was something of a departure from the previous format. The four segments feature SHR's only recurring characters, Scooter Computer (a fairly dorky-looking skateboard rat) and Mr. Chips (a roller-skating terminal about as clunky as the kind Matthew Broderick used in War Games). Its only reason for being, according to Radford Stone, was "the misapprehension that children have a phobia about computers." Stone barely considers Scooter part of SHR, and, in fact, none of the SHR creative team seem to recall who contributed what to Scooter. And since the Schoolhouse Rock archives, including the animation cels, were destroyed after it went off the air, no one is sure what the Scooter segments' official titles are. "No one remembers them," says Stone.

Over the course of its 12-year run, Schoolhouse Rock received many accolades from parents, professional educators and television insiders, even winning four Emmys for Outstanding Children's Programming. But by 1985, ABC's commitment to quality children's television had waned. Those attentive to such matters might have seen it coming, for during the previous year, ABC had begun sneaking spots that featured Tiger Beat faves Menudo in place of Schoolhouse Rock segments. And by 1985, ABC had become smitten with the dentally-endowed Mary Lou Retton and replaced Schoolhouse Rock altogether with Retton's exercise spots. Mary Lou only lasted a year ("Kids don't want to sit there eating their Sugar Frosted Flakes and suddenly break a sweat," opines Yohe), but the reign ofSchoolhouse Rock was over. Over, at least, temporarily.

In 1987, Golden Book Video released Schoolhouse Rock on tape. But things weren't quite the same. Actress Cloris Leachman and a litter of annoying, singing children now introduced the timeless segments, and to make room for Cloris and the gang, some spots, including "Three Ring Government," "The Good Eleven" and "Little Twelve Toes" were not included on the videos. Tom Yohe deeply regrets the omissions. Regarding Cloris Leachman, he says, "She's just hideous. She is the antithesis of what we wanted to do."

In reference to the Golden Book Video releases in general, Dorough states, "The quality is poor and there is also some new, inappropriate and inferior material not written by me and more or-less sung by Cloris Leachman and some kids." Dorough also makes a point of noting that he "hasn't gotten any royalties from these videos yet."

Fortunately, the news gets better. Last year ABC once again made room for Schoolhouse Rock in their Saturday morning lineup, initiating the minds of another generation. And orders have been placed for three new segments. "Busy P's," which fills us in on the part of speech long missing from Grammar Rock-prepositions-premiered in October 1993. December saw the introduction of "The Tale of Mr. Morton," a Lynn Ahrens composition about subject and predicate. A third, currently untitled segment promises to teach kids the value of the dollar. "It was originally supposed to be about the deficit," says George Newall, "but it was too complicated a subject to take on. It's too bad, really. I was thinking about all the PR possibilities. We could have taken it to Washington and maybe taught Bill Clinton something."

Newall likens the recording sessions for the new spots to a "lovefest." The old creative team, from Tom Yohe and Bob Dorough to Jack Sheldon and the original backup singers, were reunited to work on something that began as a side project and evolved into one of the best-known and best-loved television series ever. "More kids saw Schoolhouse Rock than ever watched Sesame Street," says Newall with an amazed laugh. "And the big irony is that it was all done by a bunch of ad guys in their spare time."

The creator of "School House Rock," Tom Yohe recently passed away due to cancer (December 21, 2000)

It actually rained today whoo hoo!  I do love the rain, I just wish it was a warm rain.


BTW has anyone read the Twilight series?  I am into the second book now... I like it but  I don't.  I was thinking maybe because it's aimed more towards teenagers (no offense to anyone here who is a teenager), but then again, I did enjoy the Harry Potter books and that is aimed towards even younger kids.  I haven't seen the movie yet though.  I will probably read the rest of the series anyways.  I do like it somewhat.

I had to use a conversion website for this, but I think 40 F is about 4 C.  I guess that might not seem very cold to some of you, but I'm pretty bad at dealing with chilly weather.  Early this morning when I stepped outside, it was about 30-ish F (-1 C) here and that was already too much for me.   ;D

Sorry, Penny Lane, for the trouble. Yes, -1C is cold, but not so much if you put on warm clothes, I mean a really warm coat. Now it`s -4C here and they promise about -7C tomorrow. It`s so nice when it`s cold but you are warmly dressed and are enjoying the fresh chilly bracing air. I hope we will have some snow too at last.

If you have really warm jackets, winter jackets, you`re gonna enjoy winter. As far as I know people in W. Europe and maybe in the USA don`t have them as they don`t count on cold weather.
Just a bit of snow here, t-5C.
I experienced an earthquake when I was in Lima in Peru. The walls of the flat started moving like waves and the vase on the table began to jump and fell off it. It was very frightening, the only thing I knew I was to do (I was warned in advance) was to stand in the doorway, cause if the house fell the carcas with the carrying beams would remain and I had a chance to survive. I was living on the 10th floor and the house was dancing...Luckily it wasn`t a violent earthquake. But I will remember it for the rest of my life.

They also have a cool calendar shaped like a record. It's a Sgt. Pepper theme. I couldn't find it online at all. I was gonna post a pic of it, but I left it at work. Anyway, it's very cool. But then, most Beatles stuff is.

Wow! Dean Martin! This very handsome man! And his singing was special. The Rolling Stones are also up to the mark. And I absolutely can`t recognise Ronnie Wood, he has changed so much. Mick is very sweet, and Keith used to be great in his looks. And a very charming man is looking from the avatar! He is the best!

Actually, it was more of a "Tra-la-la-la-la... HEY!"

Her class visited my French class. I was the only one in the room clapping and saying, "Yay! Carolers!" after they left.

So, yesterday, me, FNU, FNU's sister, and some neighbor kid went sledding. I wiped out so hard, but it was fun.

Sorry about not getting that raise Joost.  Trust I know what your going through.  Our wonderful Governor Mr Terminator is trying to take two days away a month from us where we dont work and dont get paid, while the legislatures all got a 5% raise.  While we face a 10% a month pay decrease, they get a raise.  And it's their fault the budget is messed up, yet we get to pay for it, while they get rewarded.

Luckily, the office I work for will more than likely be exempt, as we generate money for the state, but most State offices starting in february will be furloughed.  Oh yea not to mention he is also planning on taking away 2 of our holidays.  A few months ago he tried to pull some crap where he would pay the state workers $6.55 an hour, which is federal min wage.  California min wage is $8.00!  Luckily we dodged that bullet but this time it doesn't look  good.

I wish they would impeach Arnold.

Yeah, I know. But the thing is... I don't work for a huge company where I'm just some nameless number. It's a small company of 20-25 people. And my office is right next to my bosses' office. So we see and talk to each other all the time. He knows that my salary is well under the official guidelines for my profession. He knows I haven't gotten a raise in over three years. And what's worse: he knows that I really need that house, he knew I had to know before 5:00 PM yesterday if I wouldn't get a raise or not. And he didn't even bother to tell me I don't get a raise before 6:00 PM (and that's after I asked him SIX times if he could PLEASE respons a.s.a.p.)! Maybe I would understand if I really knew that there's no money, but my boss has a car that costed ten times what I make in a year...

Oh, Joost, that`s very mean of your boss, rather undercutting, I should say. Here the salaries are not raised either, but only in the private sector, since it is the private companies that are hit by the crisis mostly. Some people have their salaries reduced, there are dismissals and lay-offs too. However, in the state sector employees got a rise in their salaries. Sadly this rise is likely to be zeroed because of the devaluation of the ruble.

I find it really interesting how Rolling Stones fans always have to compare the Stones to the Beatles to prove how great they were. You can't get into a discussion with a Rolling Stones fan without hearing about how they were raunchier than the Beatles, darker than the Beatles, and so on. Whereas we Beatles fans see no need to compare to the Rolling Stones. We just let the great music speak for itself.

What an interesting thought.  I am a casual Stones listener and I do like their music, but yeah, to me it never seemed like their music could touch the Beatles'.  But that's just my personal two cents.

It stinks having to defend the Beatles (my favorite band of all time) against other artists.  It's just so hard arguing over such a subjective topic, plus fanatics of any band/musician can get very defensive (myself included).   :-/  But, as Mairi says, we'll let the Beatles' music speak for itself.

This is not too much for a house. A studio-flat in Moscow, which has one living-room combined with a bedroom and a kitchen is about 800 euros a month. You won`t believe it but it`s true, more than in Europe. The rent is very high here and the prices on flats are surreal. But the crisis will make them more normal.

This is not too much for a house. A studio-flat in Moscow, which has one living-room combined with a bedroom and a kitchen is about 800 euros a month. You won`t believe it but it`s true, more than in Europe. The rent is very high here and the prices on flats are surreal. But the crisis will make them more normal.

wow, I could get a "flat" here for about that much!!  Then again, I'd rather pay that much and be in a city as beautiful as Moscow than pay that much and be stuck in this hell hole!

I wish I could make people laugh. Like Conan O'brien. It's really a gift, being able to make people laugh. He's a genius. I sometimes wish I had freckles. But no red hair please. Isn't it disgusting how I can think about laughing and freckles when people my age are dying in Palestine? I think it is.
I had a math exam today and all I could think about was how annoying my teacher sounded when he explained some of the questions. You know, everybody was silent and he went on speaking and everybody looked irritated. Poor man.

Plenty fish to fill the creel
Plenty bonnie bairns as well

But that's one good thing about humor, you see.  There will always be problems in this world, and we need to be able to laugh and forget about bad things, even for a short while.  If we had to be sad and serious all the time, there'd be no point in living anymore.

BTW, I like Conan O'Brien too. :)

The only sisterly bonding time we'll have is when she jumps on me and sings Dear Bianca.
"Dear Bianca. Won't you come out to play.
Bear Bianca. Greet the brand new day-AAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY."
That's a terrible alarm clock if you ask me!

Haha...I know what look you're talking about...I call it the Laser Beam stare.  :P  I think I gave that same awful look to someone who suggested that the Beatles were like a boy band.  But yeah, it stinks that someone like Jesse is associated with Paul just because they share the same surname.  I don't think they're anywhere in the same musical league.

Quote from: 218

Yes, it was truly horrible...  ;D  I toyed with the idea of placing Jesse's video in the "Various Artists" forum but I figured that other members wouldn't appreciate having a whole thread dedicated to Jesse McCartney.  I don't know if anyone feels differently about that, but it would be good for laugh.

Oh, yeah! My cousin was up on all that, and for Christmas, I made him a book called 'Paul is [a]live'. It's a booklet disproving 'Paul is dead'. I'll try to remember it and post it here sometime.

Today was one huge brain fart for me. I could not make one basketball basket in gym today, I almost forgot to put on socks, and in history, the class all laughed at me because of 'Lake Tit'. You see, I was labeling a map of South America yesterday, and someone distracted me in mid-word, so 'Lake Titicaca' ended up as 'Lake Tit'. Today when I turned it in, the teacher said "I wouldn't use that abbreviation if I were you." He pointed at it, and I nearly had a heart attack. When he gave it back to me, I went to my nearest friend and demanded "Gimme your permanent marker!" I finished the word, but you can still tell that I messed up. It was so embarassing!  :o

                                         [size=18] Paul is Alive[/size]



Reason #1. Strawberry Fields
In the song Strawberry Fields Forever, John is heard mumbling 'Cranberry Sauce'. Though, due to the tone and volume of this, many believe he said 'I've buried Paul'. BUT HOLD IT!!! On the Abbey Road sleeve, the Beatles are believed to be in a funeral procession-John as God, Ringo as Minister, Paul as corpse, and George as gravedigger. But hang on! These two 'clues cancel each other out because it would be strange if two people dug Paul's grave.
Reason #2 Abbey Road On the Abbey Road cover, there are many supposed

Oh man...  I spoke to an old teacher of mine recently, and he swears that he heard John say "I buried Paul" in the song.  I kept telling him John was saying "cranberry sauce" but he stared at me like he didn't believe me.  Arrrgh! :-/

For some reason album and film syncs have rattled my brain for the past days. Mary Poppins had been suggested with Sgt. Pepper. But I'd like to propose another theory.
One of the songs is titled "Sister Suffragette", this brings to mind Paul's song "Jet" from "Band On The Run" album. It mentions a Lady Suffragette and a Major. Another part in Mary Poppins has an "Uncle Albert", which of course brings to mind the classic Paul song "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey". Mary Poppins also has a man who still goes about as an Admiral, or upper ranked naval personage. Although the two songs are from different albums, they might  be present on the Wingspan Greatest Hits. I am also aware of, having many Beach Boys outtakes, of Mike Love discussing Mary Poppins, specifically Mike saying "Look, there's Mary Poppins man, its Mary Poppins." Mike would later meet the Beatles in India in 1968, perhaps a discussion of a failed Mary Poppins idea was passed along to Paul. I have the MP3 of Mike mentioning Mary Poppins with the other Beach Boys if you doubt me.
Some other ideas,
"The Last Unicorn" syncs should be looked into. (Donovan and Paul would work on a track called "The Unicorn")
"Days Of Future Passed" by The Moody Blues album, which similarly delt with day in a person's life, not unlike DSOTM would with an entire lifetime. King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King" and YES's "Close To The Edge"
all seem to present themes as progressive rock did, and do seem to have a connection to "The Last Unicorn" in a thematic sense, I know, I've tried it hah.

Do I think any of this is real, of course not, I just think its fun to do. Paul did do alot of scores and such in his day...
Paul did say that he felt that the Yellow Submarine film should have had the Disney treatment...

Oh, I know, I know....  I wish I could change his mind about the Beatles, but I get the feeling he would never understand what they were about:  youth, rebellion against authority, world peace, etc.  My dad was never the hippie type.  And he used to complain to me, "Why do the Beatles have to scream in their songs?"  LOL.  I always found their screams so liberating instead of irritating.

About converting your friends' parents...  I asked about their age because I think it's harder to change people's minds once they're much older.  They get so set in their beliefs, like that old saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." :-/

nope I was just verifying my information to update it or whatever and Paypal didn't warn me, my computer did. it said that the address was a scam or w/e and that it blocked the site for me.

I've got mixed feelings. I'll obviously miss her a lot because I've lived very close to her for my whole life, she was my last living grandparent and until she got a brain hemorrhage a few months ago she was always very lively and had a great sense of humor. But on the other hand she's better off now. She never recovered from her brain hemorrhage, the last months of her life were really awful for her.

OK, here's a coincidence:
After my other grandmother died 23 years ago, my grandfather got a girlfriend. We often jokingly refered to her as our substitute grandmother, but we kind of lost track of her after my grandfather died. We just found out that this 'substitute grandmother' also died two days ago, on the same day and in the same building as my grandmother... Isn't that bizarre?

I totally agree, I was creeping MySpace a while back (I mainly use Facebook now) and I was shocked and appaled at the number of girls on there just basically flaunting themselves.  I'm sure it's the same with Facebook, but I find that MySpace has more younger users than FB does.

Didn't have much to do this afternoon, so I figured I might as well put a little work in that complain mail that I was going to send. Because I still don't have a lot to do, I'll translate it for you all... I thought it was somewhat funny...

My original mail to bol.com (Dutch version of Amazon.com):

Dear sir/madam,

Tomorrow it'll be exactly ten weeks since I ordered an Acid House King CD from you which I still haven't received.

You charge your customers a fine whenever they're behind with a payment and I understand that you have to do that. I however think it's inconsequent that bol.com doesn't fine itself whenever they're behind on a delivery. This isn't the first time that one of my orders is delayed for several weeks. Don't you think this rule of yours should work in both ways?

Best regards,
Joost

Their reply:

Dear madam,

You wanted to know when you can expect your order to arrive. Our supplier has noted to us that the CD "We're The Acid House Kings" will be delivered to us in week 10. As soon as we'll get the CD in, we'll send it to you right away.

Our sincere apologies for the delay.

Best regards,
Ouassima ********

My reply to their reply:

Dear madam,

Based on your first name I assume that you're a 'madam' and not a 'sir'. If I'm wrong, I sincerely apologize. It would however mean that we're even, since I am (also) not a madam.

You gave me an answer to a question I didn't ask (thanks anyway) and no answer to the question I did ask (the one about bol.com being inconsequent). Can I still exchange this answer for the one I asked for?

Your answer however raises another question (I hope you'll still exchange it since it's now been used). In week ten it'll be thirteen weeks since I ordered this CD. This CD was released by a Swedish record company. It's less than 1500 kilometers from Stockholm to where I live. That means the CD is coming my way at a speed of about 100 kilometers a week. Even if it's being brought by a one legged courier by foot, I'd still say that's rather slow. So can you tell me why it's taking so long?

Best regards,
Joost

I've actually found a feature where you can block certian people from seeing certian things.  Like I have my mom on Facebook but she can't see most of the stuff I put on there.  It actually came in handy when I put up my pictures from New Years :)

Actually i've had that album for about a year but it's like my first time to listen to it on this year.

I wish I could still be snuggled up warmly in bed rather than go to class today.  I'm sleepy.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Valentine's Day.  My hubby and I are going to keep it really simple this year...we'll just exchange small gifts (a Velvet Underground CD for him, Deep Purple on vinyl for me) and probably eat take-out food at home.  It's not much but it sounds good to me. :)

Awww that's so sweet!!!!  I think me and my friends (3 of us are single and one's pretty much engaged) are gonna either go to one of the pubs downtown or just go over to her place, watch movies and finish off the bottle of goldschlauger left over from New Years :)  Our very own little anti-Valentines day!

One of the students who is learning English asked me about it and suggested the word "fellows" saying that she had heard it from some English. I doubted it.

If you want to continue down the same road, you could say "Hey, b****es!"   ;D

But yeah, for friends you can say buddies or pals.  "Fellows" sounds so formal.  I dunno if it's a SoCal thing, but I wind up calling my friends "amigos" too.

I saw an old teacher recently who asked me what was new in my life.  Of course, I wound up telling him excitedly that I'll be seeing Paul McCartney soon in concert blah blah blah blah...and my teacher looked so unimpressed and bored.  The funny thing is, he's seen Macca in concert and he said it was a good show, so I couldn't understand why he seemed so apathetic.  Maybe it's because his favorite Beatle is John, or he simply doesn't understand celebrity worship in general.  

If my teacher was going to ask me about my life, however, he could've at least feigned some interest for my sake.  Oh well, whatever.  ::)

In my head, though, I just wondered if my teacher was unimpressed because he thought I'd be better off doing stuff like uh...going to a lecture or something.  He's very much the intellectual type so I felt he was being snooty towards seeing a celebrity in person. :B

If you have a Nano then it's only use is for audio, so the only way to free space is to delete songs, because that's all that is on there apart from a small amount of software to make it work. Mairi's suggestion of making lower quality mp3's would work of course.

Today at work, our principal did a presentation on African Americans contributions to music for the second through sixth grades. Anyway, we were all in the gym and he had this powerpoint going on a big screen. As he went through it there would be mild applause for certain artists. Anyway, when he got to a slide of the Beatles, the entire crowd went crazy!!! Just insane! They screamed like the fans in those old videos we watch of them I swear! It lasted for a good fifteen to twenty seconds too. Until he had to calm them down. No other artist got that kind of reaction. Not even the modern ones he showed. I just thought that was beyond awesome. BTW, half of the kids in there were or are currently students of mine, so they know A LOT about the Beatles. My brainwashing seemed to work!  ;) ;)

And I forgot, when we walked in, Hey Jude was playing while everyone got seated. During the na na na na part, the upper grade kids sitting on the bleachers started singing along as they swayed back and forth with their arms raised. Much like the video! Great moment. It's really a testament to how great the Beatles are though. I mean, these kids REALLY love them!

They also really got into a clip he played of Chuck Berry doing Johnny B. Goode and Little Richard playing Good Golly Miss Molly. When he stopped the video during Johnny B. Goode, they were all awww! But he was just getting into his duck walk, and of course they loved that! And the other artist that they really got into was Jimi Hendrix doing Little Wing. They all sat there mesmerized staring at his picture up on the screen. So maybe there's hope for us after all!!

Unfortunately though, they also seemed to really enjoy the We Are the World video! But then, they ARE kids!

eBay isn't bad if you buy things off sellers with lots of good reviews.  Also, don't be afraid to ask questions if you want to get more information about the item at hand.  Honestly, I've had more trouble with buyers on eBay rather than sellers.

Okay, I got a dumb joke for all of you guys. I apologize if any of you have heard it before:

A man and his wife are talking, and the wife brings up the topic of their upcoming wedding anniversary. She tells him that on the morning of their anniversary,there better be a gift that goes from zero to 200 in six seconds in their driveway. The man is flustered because he forgot their anniversary, but he had an idea for a gift.On the morning of their anniversary, after the husband had left for work, the wife went outside. She did not find the sports car she expected, but instead a small cardboard box. She opened it, and inside was a regular bathroom scale.

I've grown up and still live outside that bubble. I'm not in the bubble, but down the street and around the corner. Sometimes, when I say where I live in relation to the bubbled area, people assume I live in a mansion. Guess who lives in a one-story house? Thing is, people tend to like my house rather than the mansions. It may not look like much on the outside, but ones you walk in, you feel like you're a part of my family. It's great. It's like my house is a bubble of it's own. All loudness and yelling and screaming, but in a good way.

FNU and Freak, I know what you guys mean.  My cousins' family is also very wealthy (and they live in the same snooty area I visited yesterday), but when my other relatives (of a lower income) visit them at their house, they don't feel as comfortable.  Maybe their house is kind of "cold."  

Whereas when they visit my parents' house, they do feel more welcome.  My parents live in a modest but comfortable house and my mom always tries to make guests feel like they're part of the family.

People: DON'T PRANK-CALL PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET INTO TROUBLE!

A few years ago my friend had a sleep-over for her birthday party and we got bored, so we decided to call a feww local busnesses.
We called Petco and asked them if they had llamas for sale, when they said no, we asked them if they had llama food. We also called Walmart and asked them if they will hire a person who picks their nose. But what really got us was when we called the grocery store. We asked the guy "Do you have any dry beef?" and he's like "Dunno, I'll go check in back." he came back on and said no. We asked how musch it cost, he said "Listen, we don't have dry beef!" so we said "So you don't have dry beef?" by then he was very irritated with us and said no.
"How about wet beef?" we said. "I don't think so, he said. "Oh, okay said us. We then just hng up and exploded laughing.
The next morning, all the buisnsses we pranked were calling us back with complaints.

Is it just me, or does Amazon.com jack up prices for items that you frequently look at?

This has happened to me three times--for two Beatles photography books and a Badfinger compilation CD.  Sometimes, when I'm making wish lists, I check items to learn about them and notice that the prices go up.  I'm not thrilled about this.   >:(

I'm in NEED of an E string, but my daddy's all, "You need a number for your E string. Go get one." Huh? What number?

I'll have pictures up as soon as I have an E string on it. I have an incomplete guitar, so it looks weird.

freakie, I'm supposing you have a guitar store near where you live? If you do, they usually sell sets of strings there. You can get one for the E string and then have backup strings if your others break. If you don't have a guitar store, places like Target, Super Walmart, or another store that sells just about anything might have them.  :)

Trying to find a decent general practice doctor is turning out to be a nightmare...  I really need a doctor's note to submit as proof of illness to my professors, so I tried going to a doctor today.  The receptionist told me that they would charge me $100 upfront even with my insurance, but I thought that was an outrageous price just for a brief visit so I canceled and walked out.  (No wonder everyone says the American health system is a mess?)  

I've tried to make an appointment at the student health center, which would hopefully be cheaper, but it's booked up for the entire week.  Supposedly they'll phone me if anything opens up but I'm losing my sanity at this point. >:( >:(  I'm not sure what I can do if I don't want to pay $100.

$100 for a visit? Too much. I get visits to doctors` and in general medical treatment free. I can have operations free if I needed any, but thus I won`t be able to choose a doctor. If I wanted a particular doctor I would have to pay. But no pay to see a doctor, for sure.

The real Bonnie didn't look a thing like Faye Dunaway did she. Dunaway was stunning. Warren Beatty always reminded me of a chipmunk or something though.

I just heard from Bex McCulloch (Jimmy's niece) and she agreed to do a special interview for my book. I think it's pretty amazing that Colin Allen so kindly agreed to write the intro and now Bex has agreed to do an interview.

the way the movie was told. terrific movie in 1967 though.

^  Well, last summer my husband and I were driving in a Mississippi thunderstorm and it was very intense.  Just a constant downpour of water, so heavy that we could barely see through the windshield (and the windshield wipers were on full speed).  A bolt of lightning struck close to our car so there was a flash of light and an enormous explosion--like a deafening bomb.  I thought it was very frightening but my husband thought it was fascinating.  Also, it seems to rain a lot in the coastal South and I could easily see why some areas of Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. are prone to flooding.

I took a nap, and in my dream, I got shot in the leg. Now, my leg where I got 'shot' hurts. I can't walk too well. I'm glad I don't have gym class tomorrow, or else I'd be hobbling the whole time.

Why does my printer honk at me? It honked a few times, and then it was doing the printer version of blowing a raspberry! And this happened in five minutes. I'm stern with my printer. I grounded it for a day for honking, but I never kick it. I hit it once because it stopped printing in the middle of my page, and I only hit it lightly.

Here's my ideas:

Woody (so original)
Al (for Alvarez. Again, very original)
Frank
John (you got three guesses why I thoguht of that)
Trumpet
George (named after George Gershwin, of course!)

I have an acoustic that looks like that.  I named it White Bread because it's white in the middle and brown on the edges.......just like real white bread.   ;D  My hubby has a classical guitar that's more brown all over, so I call it Wheat Bread.

I guess you know you have problems when you start comparing your guitars to toast. ;D

i was saddened today to hear that the producer of the carry on movies, Peter Rodgers, has passed away at 95. :'( but what an age to get to!!

Quote
Peter Rogers (20 February 1914 - 14 April 2009) was a British film producer.

([url]http://iloapp.carryonline.com/blog/news?ShowFile&image=1239796368.jpg[/url])

Rogers began his career as a journalist for his local paper before graduating to scriptwriting religious informational films. He progressed to film production, working with director Gerald Thomas, the first work being a production for the Childrens Film Foundation. Rogers is most well known as producer of the Carry On series of British comedy films, beginning with Carry On Sergeant in 1958. There were 31 films in all. Rogers has also been linked with a further installment, Carry On London, which has been in pre-production for several years, but since his death is now unlikely to be produced.[1]

The majority of Rogers' work, including all the Carry On films, were made at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Bucks.

Rogers' other production ventures include the television series Ivanhoe with Roger Moore and the film adaptation of the long-running sitcom Bless This House with Carry On regular Sid James.

His wife was the film producer Betty Box, responsible for the Doctor series of films. They did not have children.

An authorized biography, Mr Carry On-the Life and Work of Peter Rogers (BBC), by Morris Bright and Robert Ross (author of The Carry On Companion and the Monty Python Encyclopedia) was published in 2000, with extensive input from Peter Rogers himself. It attempts to defend him against charges that he exploited the cast of the Carry On films by paying the lead actors an unchanged &#163;5,000 per film from the first in 1958 to the penultimate movie.

Rogers attended the 50th anniversary of the Carry On films held at Pinewood Studios in March 2008. On 14 April 2009, it was announced by the Carry On Gold website that Rogers had died at his home the previous day aged 95, having been ill for several months

When I was in college, I went out with a foreign exchange student named Yohana. She was from Sweden. That girl could drink more vodka than anybody I knew. She drank me under the damn table when I showed up with a bottle of 100 proof Absolute. When she took a shot and said it tasted like water, I thought I had a sure thing that night. Well, I came to find out that she wasnt kidding. That stuff WAS like water to her. She ended up having to put me to bed that night.  ;D

God bless her soul. She died in a car accident a couple weeks after she left and went back home.

None of those, Jane.  Women produce more alcohol dehydrogenase in their livers enabling them to metabolize alcohol faster than men.  Thus a woman's peak blood alcohol level is lower than a man's for the same number of drinks.

Does it mean that women get drunk faster than men? I`ve heard that women get addicted to alcohol faster and find it harder to quit. If she`s a drunkard it`s the end of her (in most cases).

Jane, it means that it takes more alcohol to get a woman drunk.  In essence, a woman can easily drink a man under the table.

I hate those situations. But what you can do is go to the party for a short time. Just come, have a drink and leave.

Post by: Mrs Lennon on April 23, 2009, 11:52:34 PM
Maybe you could set up and excuse? Like, have one of your friends who's not at the party call you like 10 minutes into the party and say that you've got to leave the party for something 'important'  I'm not sure how effective it'll be.
I am way too good at fabricating an excuse.  :B :B :B

The phone call trick makes me feel like I'm wriggling my way out of a bad blind date.   :P  Always a good idea to keep around, though.  So there's that, dreaming up an excuse, or actually making other real plans in advance.

Is anyone ever brave enough to tell other people, "No, I just don't want to go to your party/wedding/birthday/shower/graduation/whatever"?  I hate to hurt other people's feelings, but being that honest might be refreshing.   :-/  And it would've gotten me out of a lot of really dull, drawn-out events, too.  Ah, well. :-/

Yes, everybody`s using that trick. When my friend goes on a blind date, I as a rule call her to find out how the guy is. If she says yes, then all is ok, if she says no, I inform her of some urgent business she has to attend to without delay...Blind dates are usually bad. Have you ever had a good blind date?

That's cool, I'm so glad they at least got the voices right.  I enjoy seeing Beatle cover bands but sometimes I do feel odd if their looks or sound aren't right.  I saw an American Beatles cover group months ago and their English accents were horrible.   ;D  But at least they were fun to see.

Great names for your kids, by the way.  Did your wife mind?  Is she a Beatles fan too?  Just in case my hubby and I decide to have kids (way into the future), I'm trying to convince him that having Beatle names for them would be a good thing.  I'm not sure if he's fully on board with the idea, but I'll keep chipping away.  ;D

I think in America, you can name your kids pretty much anything you want.  The surname as a first name is probably a popular trend right now, like calling your kids MacKenzie or Madison.

I've heard that in Switzerland, you have a regulated list of names that you can call your children, so you can't choose something totally random and wild.  I don't know if that policy still exists now, though.

In New Zealand, there was a girl who legally changed her name because her parents were insane enough to name her "Talula Does the Hula in Hawaii."  I kid you not:  http://abcnews.go.com/WaterCooler/wireStory?id=5439648  This is practically emotional abuse, no?

Quote from: 1393
How do you name your children?

I'd have to agree with Penny on this one for basically any place in North America.  From what I've seen names that run in the family are still popular.  I was named Victoria (my paternal grandfather's middle name was Victor) Ellen (my maternal grandmother's first name), and my sister's middle name is Rose which is a name that goes back generations on my mom's side.

As for the surnames as first names some of this (again, from what I've seen) seems to be the mother's maiden name.

About the whole naming your kids .... there was a case where the kid was given the name "Bus shelter No 6" (you can guess why) . And in NZ too, actually not too far away from where we live, a woman gave birth in the Fire station and so she gave her child a second name as "Blaze".

Poor thing!!  I recommend putting on your favorite Beatles or Ringo CD's while you work.  Much luck to you...I've been down that road and it's not pleasant!

I got Macca's Red Square concert DVD for xmas - it is awesome and I love all the interviews with the Russian people.

I'm interested in this DVD, but I'd like to ask how the concert editing is.  Does the camera constantly (and rapidly) change its shots?  

I have another Macca concert DVD and the frequent camera shot changes annoyed me, especially when it kept showing the audience!  Some audience shots are okay, but not when they're excessive.

^ Thank you so much Penny!! ^_^

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who can't concentrate on work with music on :-/ But I think I will listen to the Beatles/Ringo just before I eventually go to sleep, to de-stress. I listened to Ringo all the way on the bus home after uni yesterday... that was a good de-panicker :)

Hi Penny. No, it's good camera work. Shows heaps of Paul and the band, and the crowds cuts are fine,as they show the warmth of the Russian crowd. In the disc menu, you can just play all the concert songs without the interviews in between. The performance of 'Penny Lane' ( one of my fave Beatle songs) is a highlight. The big fella drumming is very faithful to Ringo's original. And there is a stunning 'Things We said Today, done as a sort of sound check. Great stuff.

But it's alright now (I think, and hope).

^We saw the Chateau Frontnac which was really pretty, we went to a sugar shack where we square danced, and we went shopping a lot. My feet almost fell off one day, though. We had walked over 1500 steps. On the lus side, that was the day we went to the sugar shack, so I was all hyped up by the end of the night (too much maple syrup with too many pancakes). We also rode a ferry across the St. Lawrence River, and my friends and I kept singing Disney classics. We also stopped by a bunch of museums, and they weren't so boring. All of my friends who went want to go back, so we 'planned' on taking a road trip when we're all in college.

Sadly, not everything good came out of the Quebec trip. A lot of people, incluting me, got sick once they got back home. Hopefully this mystery sickness blows over soon because the 8th grade activites start next week.

PC, thanks for the video!  :)

Anyway, this is my 2,000th post!  Whoo hoo!  :)

Freakie and HJ, I've been on lots of school trips too.  Lots of good memories but some really weird ones as well.  One of the girls I was with tried to kill herself by jumping out of the window because she was really upset about something,  ??) but she was pulled back into the room in time.

But other better memories include tons of shenanigans...  Staying up late in other people's rooms and just messing around, being allowed to eat pizza in bed while watching TV, and climbing out of our hotel window to walk around on a large roof below.  For some reason, kids like climbing out of windows!!  ??)

I also remember trying to get closer to a boy I really liked.  It didn't work but it gave me hope for a little while.

Great memories of being young and free...

How much is the total? Try to find where you repeat yourself. Conclusion usually can be written shorter. There's ways to put things shorter. All tricks to cut on the words, even without saying much less.

The word limit is 4000, and I had about 5000 just then. In the meantime I cut about 500 words out, so I still need to cut another 500... I've always been useless at keeping to word limits :B
And you're right about the conclusion, I'll try to re-word it... when my self-allocated break runs out in 5 minutes (grin)

Oh and I was out in the sun all day doing yard work and then I went to the lake. So it was ALL day in 90 degree weather. So, being me, I forgot sunscreen AND I was wearing a halter top and shorts.

HJ:  "Recently" means I can't remember.  LOL!  It was either last year or this year.  I don't know where the player was purchased since I got it third-hand.  My hubby tried doing some research on it and I think he said it was German-made, expensive, and most likely from the 1970's.  It is old but of good quality.

We have a record collection at my place, but most of it (including the Beatles LP's) technically belongs to my husband.  I only own like one Beatles LP, a handful of 45's, and one EP.

Here's a good idea for decorating...  Take your favorite LP covers and frame them.  I have six Beatles covers hanging around my apartment and I put the vinyls into blank replacement sleeves. ;)
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: emmi_luvs_beatles on June 21, 2009, 03:40:14 AM
I have one frame, my Introducing The Beatles one was in it. But I kept taking it down to listen to it, so right now it is empty lol. For Beatles records I have a Revolver and Introducing The Beatles. But at this little antique shop in my town they have a AHDN record, a Rubber Soul, and a Revolver in Sterio (mines mono). But they are like range from $30-$80 so to get the Rubber Soul which is the one I want the most I have a ways to go!!! lol.

I'm actually putting my (mom's lol) Hey Jude 45 in a frame in the new house.  I probably should do something with 3 of the albums I have (Beatlemania, Twist and Shout and Long Tall Sally) to keep them safer, I think my dad bought them around '63 or '64 (before the whole Beatlemania explosion).

You could probably get a decent on on ebay. I keep thinking about doing that, but never get around to it.

Get a record player and collect vinyls or records, is an item on my when-I-get-around-to-doing-it list.

Sigh, how does one get the will power to study? I couldnt be stuffed, and I have an exam on Wednessday.

I try to study! I really do! But I end up forgetting it! Here's a study tip! Put the info to a song! Early Beatles stuff is easy to do it to because of the bouncy beats. I had a teacher who made us learn every country in the world and did it by continents!! I really wasn't fond of that teacher... but we were doing South America and i put all of the countries to 'She Loves You' and it went like 'Jamacia yeah yeah yeah! Bahamas yeah yeah yeah!!!' and so on.... but then we did Europe and I didn't do it to that one and I completely forgot everything anf bombed the test..... lol, but if your like me and can remember song lyrics easy that is what I do. Amd it does work!!  ;D

Gotta go to work in about four hours! But cuz of the vacation week I'm on this insane sleep schedule. Guess I'm staying up the whole night. This always happens the first day back at work. Must be my internal sleep clock thing or something. I should have been a night watchman or something.

Aww, Penny... :-/
Your alarm story reminded me of something funny though... when KE and me were little, one morning our alarm clock broke and it wouldn't stop ringing. Since we didn't know what to do about it, we just threw it in the wheelie-bin outside the house and went to school..... about half-way to school we could still hear that alarm from the bin ;D ;D

warning - rant post!

gotta love silly/stupid/annoying customers...  I had an old guy making Victoria Secret jokes to me the whole time I rang him through, and then some other woman later tonight asked if my friend (who came in to persuade me to go to his gig Friday night) and I were dating.  Really the nerve of these people.  Because my name's Victoria doesn't mean I like all the snickers and, trust me I would be a very rich woman if I had a dollar every time someone asked if I had a secret.  And really, that was two friends talking about an upcoming concert, NOT LIKE WE'RE DATING!  Gah!!!!  Sorry, just bugged me tonight /rant

It hasn't been officially stated yet. TMZ is reporting it though. They're disgusting. The legitimate news outfits cannot report it until it's confirmed. I have a feeling he might be though. They keep saying how bad his health was and how dangerous cardiac arrest is.

yes, i was thinking if i was a michael jackson fan, i would be heartbroken and in a terrible state. the close i felt to that
kind of thing was when George passed away but of course he passed away peacefully which made me feel better.
but i can imagine it must have been a nightmare when John dies with what happened.

That sounds awesome! I'm sick so I can't really go anywhere or have anybody over so I'm settling for watching the neighbors setting off fireworks from my bedroom window  :(

I'm an active parent on the school that my two boys are attending, but I'd say that 7 is too young for them to write in English. The older kids might have a go it at tho. I'd like to see what I can do and if the teachers are up for the plan. Problem is it's summer holidays now until mid-August. Maybe I can dig up an email address from the director. Could you give me a little more details. Maybe by PM?

Hi Sandra. I had a dream about you last night. We were sitting on a floor arguing (what else!). I was trying to tell you that London was a terrible place for Beatle fans to visit but you kept on replying "but what about the pimpernickel?"
Then we were at a concert and we were blown away by how fat Nils Lofgren was (!) and then we had a good laugh because the bass player was wearing little shorts and we could see his undies.
Towards the end we were getting on great. We even had a dance.

It's annoying, though, because she's nosy about stuff that doesn't even matter. Like, does she have to know everything I buy and everything I read? And she wonders why I never share anything with her. It could be worse, though, I guess.

My mother also wishes that she and I could be closer.  However, the last time I ever told her something very personal about myself, she wigged out.  And it wasn't even all THAT bad, but it made me never want to share personal secrets with her again.

Nils Lofgren played guitar for both Neil Young and Springsteen. Both played London this weekend so I think that's how he got in. And I had been blown away by how large Neil had got.

I guess the deal for me is that I don't want to think of my parents dying someday.  I know aging and death are normal things, but it's hard to think of my loved ones passing on in the future.

I'd rather put kids off for a long while also.  If I had to have kids, I would probably wait till my mid-30's or something, but who knows.

I'd rather put kids off for a long while also.  If I had to have kids, I would probably wait till my mid-30's or something, but who knows.

I know a girl who is 20 and she has a boyfriend...who is 50.

JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Post pictures when you get back!


I only had my camera phone, so the pics kind of suck! I couldn't figure out how to zoom. I took some video too, but it only recorded a few seconds. Can you figure out the song? I wish I would have recorded the part where she imitated Dylan! That was cute.

The hippy crowd is so not my scene. I mean, it's cool and all, but I can only take so much self righteousness!! They're the nicest people though. On the way back to the car, I was carrying our seats in this bag over my shoulder and when we got to the car there were flowers sticking out of the top. Someone had just stuck them in there! That was kind of funny.

My mom had me at 42. And this was before it was in style. Nowadays, it's common to wait. A lot of the parents at my school are in their forties and early fifties.

My cousin just posted part of her Beatles' collection on FB. I can't believe all the stuff she has!!!! I had forgotten this before getting back in touch with her, but SHE'S the one who got me into the Beatles in the first place. I remember her showing me Beatles records in her room when I was just a little kid. I remember staring at Sgt. Pepper. I think she even let me borrow it. So she's the one to thank for my Beatle obsession! I had COMPLETELY forgotten about that until now. So for that, I think Facebook is pretty cool. I hadn't spoken with her for over 20 years before this! Man, I wish you guys could see her collection. It's awesome. She makes me look like a bad fan! :)

If I ever got a tattoo, which I wouldn't, but if it did, I think I'd get something with Chinese symbols. They're cool looking. Here's the one for peace.

^ You just have to be careful with the Chinese symbols, there's lots of horror stories about people just going in and saying "I want this symbol" and coming out with something totally different.

I was actually thinking about my tattoo this week.  I'm thinking that I might get it in like September or October.  It'll be on my back just over my right hip and I'm gonna get a shooting star in memory of a good friend of mine <3

Maybe it's a generational thing?  Well, he is offensive but a lot of it is satire.  Kinda like "South Park."

I like SBC, though.  Loved "Da Ali G Show" when it was still around too.  That show just made me howl with laughter.

And ooh, tattoos, I want one too.  I've just never been able to commit because I'm scared I'll change my mind, plus I am a needle coward.

Well!

Nope, it's not a generational thing. I think it's more personal taste. I don't think being from a certain generation has much to do with "getting" comedy or music or whatever else. I always find that to be a strange argument. But who knows I just happen to think he's a bore. I get that it's satire (at least that's why he's trying for) and he doesn't offend me in the least. He just annoys me with his overdone shtick. I just don't find it very clever. It gets old REAL fast for me. But yeah, tons of people love him. People of all ages. I'm WAY in the minority here!  I think South Park is about a billion times more innovative and smart in my opinion. He doesn't hold a candle to Matt and Trey! But then again, it's all personal taste.

BTW, I'm not ancient! Even though I talk as if I am. I can still get the "hip" stuff ya know. Now let me go relax in my rocking chair and listen to the soft sounds of that oldie's band Nirvana. :)

What is the meaning of life?

That is a very good question.

Meaning of Life, just $5!

Yep, you can buy just about anything on eBay. People have sold friendship, dinner dates, dirt, pieces of burnt toast, naming rights for a baby and a soul (eBay stepped in and put a stop to those last two).


Now an American eBay seller is offering The True Meaning of Life (no, not the Monty Python film) for sale.


Scarlet00100 (whose page has a creepy animated character that looks like Storm from the X-Men) describes the item rather mysteriously: "Does life have meaning? Would you like to know what purpose you have in this world? Now you can stop wondering. Life and the living has purpose. One half of the proceeds go to charity. Please give your self the opportunity to know the answer. What the true meaning of life is."

And it's just US$5! Unfortunately, Scarlet00100 won't ship the Meaning of Life outside the US, so we won't be able to find out what it is down under. Presumably, if it can't be sent internationally, it's not something naff like: "Be excellent to each other".

It doesn't appear that any of Scarlet's eBay feedback relates to this item either (it's mainly positive, but also mainly relating to t-shirts and car parts).

What could it possibly be? Based on the image the meaning is... a nice vista. The description above makes me think of the sort of pamphlets that get thrust into your hands by door-knockers on the weekend.

Footnote: apparently the Meaning of Life has already been sold once on eBay, where is commanded just $3.26. Maybe Scarlet00100 was the one who bought it and doesn't need it any more, or perhaps Scarlet00100 is, like so many other eBay users, a scalper (albeit one with very small profit margins).

Guitar legend-inventor Les Paul dies at age 94
AP, Aug 13, 2009 1:56 pm PDT
 
Les Paul, who invented the solid-body electric guitar later wielded by a legion of rock 'n' roll greats, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia. He was 94.
According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side..

As an inventor, Paul also helped bring about the rise of rock 'n' roll with multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the tracks in the finished recording..

The use of electric guitar gained popularity in the mid-to-late 1940s, and then exploded with the advent of rock in the mid-'50s..

"Suddenly, it was recognized that power was a very important part of music," Paul once said. "To have the dynamics, to have the way of expressing yourself beyond the normal limits of an unamplified instrument, was incredible. Today a guy wouldn't think of singing a song on a stage without a microphone and a sound system.".

"Without Les Paul, we would not have rock and roll as we know it," said Terry Stewart, president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "His inventions created the infrastructure for the music and his playing style will ripple through generations. He was truly an architect of rock and roll.".

A tinkerer and musician since childhood, he experimented with guitar amplification for years before coming up in 1941 with what he called "The Log," a four-by-four piece of wood strung with steel strings..

"I went into a nightclub and played it. Of course, everybody had me labeled as a nut." He later put the wooden wings onto the body to give it a tradition guitar shape..

In 1952, Gibson Guitars began production on the Les Paul guitar..

Pete Townshend of the Who, Steve Howe of Yes, jazz great Al DiMeola and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page all made the Gibson Les Paul their trademark six-string..

Over the years, the Les Paul series has become one of the most widely used guitars in the music industry. In 2005, Christie's auction house sold a 1955 Gibson Les Paul for $45,600..

Guitarist Joe Satriani called Paul "the original guitar hero," saying: "Les Paul set a standard for musicianship and innovation that remains unsurpassed.".

In the late 1960s, Paul retired from music to concentrate on his inventions. His interest in country music was rekindled in the mid-'70s and he teamed up with Chet Atkins for two albums. The duo were awarded a Grammy for best country instrumental performance of 1976 for their "Chester and Lester" album..

With Mary Ford, his wife from 1949 to 1962, he earned 36 gold records for hits including "Vaya Con Dios" and "How High the Moon," which both hit No. 1. Many of their songs used overdubbing techniques that Paul had helped develop..

"I could take my Mary and make her three, six, nine, 12, as many voices as I wished," he recalled. "This is quite an asset." The overdubbing technique was highly influential on later recording artists such as the Carpenters..

Released in 2005, "Les Paul & Friends: American Made, World Played" was his first album of new material since those 1970s recordings. Among those playing with him: Peter Frampton, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Richie Sambora..

"They're not only my friends, but they're great players," Paul told The Associated Press. "I never stop being amazed by all the different ways of playing the guitar and making it deliver a message.".

Two cuts from the album won Grammys, "Caravan" for best pop instrumental performance and "69 Freedom Special" for best rock instrumental performance. (He had also been awarded a technical Grammy in 2001.).

Paul was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2005..

Paul was born Lester William Polfuss, in Waukseha, Wis., on June 9, 1915. He began his career as a musician, billing himself as Red Hot Red or Rhubarb Red. He toured with the popular Chicago band Rube Tronson and His Texas Cowboys and led the house band on WJJD radio in Chicago..

In the mid-1930s he joined Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians and soon moved to New York to form the Les Paul Trio, with Jim Atkins and bassist Ernie Newton..

Meanwhile, he had made his first attempt at audio amplification at age 13. Unhappy with the amount of volume produced by his acoustic guitar, Paul tried placing a telephone receiver under the strings. Although this worked to some extent, only two strings were amplified and the volume level was still too low..

By placing a phonograph needle in the guitar, all six strings were amplified, which proved to be much louder. Paul was playing a working prototype of the electric guitar in 1929..

His work on taping techniques began in the years after World War II, when Bing Crosby gave him a tape recorder. Drawing on his earlier experimentation with his homemade record-cutting machines, Paul added an additional playback head to the recorder. The result was a delayed effect that became known as tape echo..

Tape echo gave the recording a more "live" feel and enabled the user to simulate different playing environments..

Paul's next "crazy idea" was to stack together eight mono tape machines and send their outputs to one piece of tape, stacking the recording heads on top of each other. The resulting machine served as the forerunner to today's multitrack recorders..

In 1954, Paul commissioned Ampex to build the first eight-track tape recorder, later known as "Sel-Sync," in which a recording head could simultaneously record a new track and play back previous ones..

He had met Ford, then known as Colleen Summers, in the 1940s while working as a studio musician in Los Angeles. For seven years in the 1950s, Paul and Ford broadcast a TV show from their home in Mahwah, N.J. Ford died in 1977, 15 years after they divorced..

In recent years, even after his illness in early 2006, Paul played Monday nights at New York night spots. Such stars as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Van Halen came to pay tribute and sit in with him..

"It's where we were the happiest, in a `joint,'" he said in a 2000 interview with the AP. "It was not being on top. The fun was getting there, not staying there — that's hard work."

You know...........I've been thinking........with all the funerals I've been to in the past several months, I don't want the big "Catholic display ceremony" as a lot of these funerals do.  That's always the night before the funeral, at the visitation, called a "Rosary" in the Catholic community, where you view the body all "decorated" with nice clothes and makeup and jewelry and talk about how "life like" they look........"oh, he/she looks like they're sleeping".......NOT!!!
I told my husband if I died before him, just to cremate by body and put up a ton of pictures and momentoes of my life as it was all happy, joyful, and young and full of life.  No one wants to see an old persons body in a casket, made up and trying to "look good".........just remember the person as YOU remembered them and enjoyed them and celebrate the life you had with them.
Tons of money saved...................traditional funeral..........thousands of dollars.........cremation funeral.........hundreds..........save the rest and have a big party to celebrate the life of the one that departed us!!!

I feel the same way! Honestly. Funerals are so expensive, and all they do is depress you. My parents took me to funerals when I was a child and it always made me sad to see an old person's body in the casket, all still and lifeless.

I don't want anyone to spend a lot of money on my funeral. I'll be dead; I won't care what kind of casket they put me in. Just chuck me in the fireplace. As a fellow Catholic, I' have to be buried in a Catholic cemetary. But really, as long as they play Another One Bites the Dust, I'll be happy.

Love = one of the most magical things on this planet.



I was listening to a podcast about the String Theory and how you can relate it to love. It's really an amazing way to look at life. If I knew how to post a podcast I would, but I have NO clue.

This is the link to that meditation about love. It may seem silly to some, but it's actually kinda cool. And if you meditate, it does make you feel more loving and peaceful. But either way, I just think it's a nice way to look at things.

I love how they compare the generations in a the more things change the more they stay the same type thing. Except one generation had Bob Dylan and John Belushi and the other has Jack Black and will-i-am. No fair. The whole raising of the cell phones thing instead of lighters is also a bit telling.

The song is great though. I wish they had a longer version for download.

My dad got an email address this year. I don't want to give him mine... It's so weird, I've grown up with the Internet since I was a young teenager, and I've always viewed the Internet as a place for young kids to hang out. Not the kind of place where you chat with your parents.

Now everyone's getting connected...with my dad and his email and my older relatives getting on Facebook, it's creeping me out! It kinda makes me regret not signing up on FB with a pseudonym.

Somehow, I think it's more "dangerous" to be on a public message board than Facebook. On FB, you can set your privacy controls just so you'll only have a specific set of people who can see your page. On public message boards, anyone out there can contact you.

Sorry about school, I know the feeling. :(

Hahaha. Well, when it comes to the Internet, we all just have to use common sense. Don't talk to creepy weirdos and all.

And speaking of common sense, I don't have much of it. I was mouthing off about someone's blog online (half-jokingly, though) and got into a heap of trouble for it. I've written at least three apologies today because of it. Me = stupid. :(

That and I think that people have to be personally responsible for what they post on the internet.  I consider myself a "life blogger" (aka my blog deals with stuff that's going on in my personal life and the world around me).  I've been blogging in it for about 5 years now, and lately I make sure that anything really personal or something that is talking about another blog or blogger is under a "friends only" lock, so only people I allow in can see them.

Yes, that's true about being responsible for what you write. If you're going to have a public blog, don't be surprised if some people out there are going make fun of you or say rude things. (Not aiming that at you personally, but the writer that I got in trouble with. Not that I'm justifying my actions, but still.)

You know, I've been using the Internet for more than 10 years at this point, and I'm still not fully versed in netiquette (however you spell it).

And trust me, I've done my share of mouthing off, Especially to the people on youtube that write nasty comments on Beatles videos. That's usually where I put my mouthing off time and effort. Like these people:

My brother's wedding last Friday was a real life Hugh Grant comedy...

First his wife's father had to do a speech, but halfway through his very first sentence he got so emotional that he couldn't talk anymore. So he gave the piece of paper with the speech to his wife, who then took over. She was so focussed on reading everything right that she finished with "I want to wish you the best of luck, on behalf of myself and my wife Annie".

A short while later one of the three little kids that had to give them the rings ran out of the room. Nobody payed too much attention to it as little kids do things like that. When the time came to exchange the rings, we heard a little voice saying "Tjuk's gone out to pee!". And Tjuk was the one that had the rings. Everyone started laughing and then the boy's mom came rushing in: Tjuk didn't have to pee, he'd lost the rings and was looking for them! Eventually his father found them in the car, but was locked out of the building and had to wait for a few minutes until someone noticed him and opened the door...

Everyone started laughing and then the boy's mom came rushing in: Tjuk didn't have to pee, he'd lost the rings and was looking for them! Eventually his father found them in the car, but was locked out of the building and had to wait for a few minutes until someone noticed him and opened the door...

Oh man...hahahaha....

My brother's wedding last Friday was a real life Hugh Grant comedy...

First his wife's father had to do a speech, but halfway through his very first sentence he got so emotional that he couldn't talk anymore. So he gave the piece of paper with the speech to his wife, who then took over. She was so focussed on reading everything right that she finished with "I want to wish you the best of luck, on behalf of myself and my wife Annie".

My dad and I were watching "The Today Show" today and the performer was Sean Kingston. I really don't like him! So when he came on and sang I plugged my ears and shouted "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"

I'm gonna put this out here...........this has been on my mind for a while with all the "09-09-09" coming up tomorrow here in the States........we may have "others" we like and worship, as to say.....i.e.......me and my Greg Lake of ELP thing..............but in the long run, many, many years from now, let's say 100+, someone says, "The Beatles", and they go, "oh, John, Paul, George and Ringo".  The Beatles will always be here......then, now and forever.  They were such a phenomemon and I think no one, outside of Elvis, can compete on that level.  Look what's gonna happen tomorrow........the Beatles are going to be introduced to a whole new generation of fans.  It's like "Beatlemania" all over again, "2009 version".  Just my observation and my opinion of things, but this is what I believe.................

I don't think there will ever be another group as popular as the Beatles. It's just not possible with the way the music industry is run now. The closet thing that has ever come to duplicating Beatlemania is the Harry Potter books.

I love meeting people who love the same things I do! It makes conversations less awkward when you have a go to topic ;). Today in European History I was flipping out! This kid tried to tell ME that the Beatles were making a come back. I informed the poor lad that he was sorely mistaken and that the only way they would make a come back is if 2 of the 4 members weren't dead...and even then I don't think they would. Then I got excited about Rock Band coming out!

We need to be braver about talking to our fellow Beatle brethren.

Although I have tried talking to a former teacher of mine about them a while back.... He was saying that John said "I buried Paul" at the end of "Strawberry Fields Forever", and I was like no, he's saying "cranberry sauce"!! And he just gave me this look like he didn't believe me, sheez. Tsk.

I know! Even in art class when the teacher just LOVED my Georgia O'keffe style flower (we're learning about her in art) and showed it to everyone I turned bright red! I just hate it. And one thing about me is I have like permanent blush on all the time. So I turn more red than I already am.  :-\

Received this memory of Jimmy on the myspace today.

I used to go to the Barrowland in Glasgow on a Saturday after noon when the Jaygars played.  I was about 14 and Jim was 11.  I really fancied him and so did a lot of the young girls.  He used to sing "Hang on Sloopy".  Me and my friends then used to go to various venues to see them.  They used to play in a club called the Underworld on a Sunday night.  He was a lovely wee boy.  I can't believe what happened to him.  I liked his brother Jackie as well.  He played the drums.  I will always remember that time in my life and always the Jaygars.

               - May Cowan


An 11 year old Jim singing Hang On Sloopy would have been interesting to see.

Now I spent some time growing up in North Carolina.  I've always thought that drawl was the nicest of all.  We moved back to Queens when I was five.

Now down there I learned to say "Uh-huh" and "Nuh-uh."  So in Kindergarten Mrs. Zimpbaum (you remember her) said to me "Now Barry, when you want to say 'yes,' say 'yes' and not 'uh-huh'.  OK?  You'll do that for now on, right?"

And so I answered "Uh-huh!"

Ok ok ok ok, on the remasters topic, I went to a gas station on the way to my horse show, and by the register ALL The remastered albums were there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In a f-ing GAS STATION! I made a weird sqeaking noise in my throat and almost shout "Beatles Remasters! Om my god!" and everyone in Holiday Station turned and looked at me! But I basically ran over to the display. But I couldn't get any  :'(

So weird..... JMF posted about seeing the same damned thing at a gas station too on his FB! At a gas station, of all places!!! *scratches head*

Your dad was really born on the day and year of the first Beatles' Sullivan show? Wow.

I'm sad, my birthday is sandwiched in between Linda's birthday and the UK release date for "Abbey Road." No interesting Beatley birth date for me (at least not that I'm aware of). :(

In other news, school has barely started for me and I'm wishing it were all over already--and it's only September. :(

All the best with your studies though :)

And on a completely different tangent, KE and me have figured out today that the secret to eternal youth is to become a dance instructor! The two instructors that we know both look about ten years younger than their actual ages :o ;D

Yah it's pretty good. I only have 2 hour classes this year. (instead of 3) And I only have to go twice a week.
But for 8 hours so it is tiring by the time I get home.

I had a 3 hour lab last year. So annoying!! I feel your pain Jude!

ok, so was riding the bus home today because my mom didn't get off work until 5, so I got on the bus and as usual it was VERY packed. My school is getting too big for the buses. So anyway I got on and went to the back where the highschoolers sit, but I am one grade away from being in Highschool so they usually don't care. But one guy shouted "Hey! Get back up there! Your not a highschooler." But there was no where to sit. So another guy was like "Hey, is that The Beatles on your shirt?" and I said "Umm yeah..." so he's like "She can stay! She has a Let It Be shirt on!" The benefits of being Beatles obsessed! :D

^^That's really awesome Emmi! Your shirt saved you!!  ;D


I'd love to do photography.  As much as some people may disagree with me, I like raw photography better than stuff that's been edited to pieces.  Just a personal opinion.

oohh I think someone has a customer that's developed a crush!!!!
Yah I agree with you Jude, I like pictures that are less edited as well. It gives them a totally different feel when you changed them up a lot! So I would have to agree with you. I miss good ol' film.

that's way too much biology for me.  :P

Mine was for photography class. We had to work on the computers using photoshop. And it can become quiet boring after awhile.

I'm taking a photography class too. I love developing my own film and stuff! It's become a hobby for me that I think sprouted from my obsession with Beatles pics

Ya developing film in the darkroom was the BEST! I miss it so much. Everyone else is all "go digital!"

But I prefer my good old 35mm camera! :)

I drive without my license sometimes...it doesn't hurt unless you get pulled over. Then you're SOL.

Inspired by my brother in law's recent fortune of having a newspaper article written about his music, I am thinking writing a piece in the same vein on Jimmy's niece Bex as she too, is a musician and I think it'd be a great way for people to get to know her and get interested in her music. I sent her a message about it and hopefully she responds positively. She was fine with me interviewing her earlier this year so we'll see!

I can learn more about Christianity at church than reading in a book. I should have taken notes there rather then from text.

And not liking cake is not possible.

Speaking of cake, I have this apple cake that says that a erving is 1/2 of the cake, but there are 12 servings. Either that was a major typo, or I should have bought six cakes.

And then she spooked from the fence and freaked out. So yah, I am a little shakey at the moment lol

I did check the saddle and that before I mounted, and I had already told her I wanted to keep the curb bit on, and she said fine. But she went and put the snaffle on anyways. And thats a pretty drastic change in bits  :-[
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

The snaffle is easier on the horse's mouth but if she's used to the curb bit I guess the snaffle bit was distracting her.

Mhm, we have tons of bits laying around sinse my mom and oldest cousin used to get green horses and break them for people. We have every type of bit you can think of, but for some reason our current horses are on a hackamore and a basic curb  ha2ha but the thing is my horse works of legs so much that when my mom gets on her she just puts a hay bale string around her neck and goes. So bits don't really matter so much for her. But I'm gonna have to convince them to just let me use the curb  :P

I really don't think I fit my family. It can't just be me. It's just a bad fit. Yet I always end up feeling like i'm the one who is the problem. I'm so done with this nonsense.

Sometimes I feel the same way...

Not that I've met every single person in my extended family, but I feel like most of them are nothing like me and it makes me feel isolated at times.

I never get my extended family. They are just strange to me and I hardly ever see them, so when I do it's very ackward for me. I haven't seen some of them in years. I guess that's just the way it goes. ???

I've met almost everyone in my extended family as well. I get along with my dad's side of the family very well, (since they are all musicians and such) but I can't stand my mom's side at times. And then they all say I should be more like them and I have too much of my dad in me.

Ive actually never met much of my extended family and my dad's side. I know one uncle and thats abt it. And on my momz side Im not too close to them caz they live in a different district. Growing up I never became acustomed to being in family situtations. We NEVER eat dinner together ( aside from maybe christmas) and someone always has something to do. I actually think im extremly introverted wen it comes to family stuff but if you ask my friends and my pairs id prob be considered extraverted.

Being a really old guy and listening to the Beatles on YouTube and reading the comments, I realized that most Beatles fans of today have experienced the Beatles very differently than me.

I listened the the Beatles back in the '60s in the order in which they released their records.  But some of the posts I read say something like "I loved the later Beatles CD's but have just recently started to appreciate the early Beatles".

I started out with "Please Please Me", "I want to Hold Your Hand", and "She Loves You" and ended up with "And, in the end, the love you take/ Is equal to the love you make."  Then I was a fan of the individual Beatles.

unless he ate some by mistake before the gig :P...no, he was suffering from breathing difficulties as soon as he
went on stage last night, he only did one song and collasped on the floor which then cancelled the rest of the gig and
he was rushed to hospital, but thankfully he is doing ok now, i heard it was exhustion, i read in the news a few months
back that the doctor told him to take some time off but he never, i bet he will now though.  :o

One of my uncles told me last Saturday that I could have a few dozen of his LPs and that he'd throw them away if I didn't want them. So I went to get them and didn't expect too much of it, but what he gave me was actually pretty amazing... About 75 LPs, all in great shape, nothing but classics: Wings, Neil Young, CSNY, Fairport Convention, Iron Butterfly, Clapton, Dylan, The Who, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors...

Yesterday I spoke to another uncle (the other uncle's brother) and told him about this and he was like "Oh, you're interested in those old LPs? You can have mine as well, no problem."  :D I know he has a whole lot of blues and prog rock... Not really my kind of thing, but should be interesting anyway.

I see what you mean. I guess it both has its pros and cons. If you were a Beatles fan in, say, 1965, you had just six albums at your disposal and that was pretty much it, if you get into The Beatles now there's an endless list of albums, compilations, bootlegs and solo records that you can get right away. On the other hand, us younger fans will never know the excitement of waiting for a new Beatles album and finding out what they were up to now. For "us" it's already a pretty big deal to get something like 'Love' or 'Let It Be... Naked', but of course that can't compare to hearing 'Sgt. Pepper' or 'Revolver' on the day it came out...

That happened to my parents in Canada. But the thing is, the speed limits changed every 100 meters, so it wasn't fair. We still paid it though.

I hate it when they do that. They randomly change the speed limits places. Like, there's this highway in Boston and it goes from 65 mph to 55 mph for no reason without a sign! How di I know this? My sister got pulled over for speeding there.

As a kid I played soccer for twelve years. I quit when I was 18 and didn't play again for nine years. I started playing again three years ago, but I was absolutely worthless every single match of the season, so I quit again after one year. Because I couldn't live with the thought of never playing again, I decided to give it one last try, so this season I started for the third time. Last Sunday I made my first goal in 13 years - in fact, my first TWO goals. :) I was so happy that I didn't even mind that we lost 7-3. :)

I started playing again three years ago, but I was absolutely worthless every single match of the season, so I quit again after one year. Because I couldn't live with the thought of never playing again, I decided to give it one last try, so this season I started for the third time. Last Sunday I made my first goal in 13 years - in fact, my first TWO goals. :) I was so happy that I didn't even mind that we lost 7-3. :)

When does that Sherlock Holmes movie come out?


Christmas day http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/)
It looks pretty good to me, kinda a different kind of Sherlock Holmes than what's been seen before, more true to the original stories :)

They were arguing all the time. Not just lately, but pretty much as long as they've been together. So I thought they'd gotten used to it, but apparently his girlfriend couldn't deal with it anymore so he moved out.

*edit* I guess it's a bit sexist that I posted that he left her while it really was a mutual thing (he was the one that left the house though). Didn't mean it that way.

Oh my goodness. I did the zipline today. It was so fun! The hardest part was climbing the tree because the pegs used for climbing weren't straight. I had to use my knees to climb. Haha! What a sight that was. I got to the top of the tree, 40 ft., and it was shaking. No joke. Shaking. I was clinging onto the tree and I realized I could see buildingss. Then, I looked down at my friends, and everyone was looking up, so that was funny. My teacher who was up there was making jokes, to that made me feel better as well. Then, you're supposed to jump off the platform to go, and I screamed and then jumped. Going down, you have two drops, and at the second one, I almost kicked my friend in the face. Oops! Anwyways, you almost get to the other side, but then you go back and stop by the first drop, and then someone catches your legs to bring you to a ladder and help you down. So, I almost kicked my friend in the face again when she brought me to the ladder. Again, oops! All in all, it was a great experience, and it`s so refreshing to know that I finally did this. Woohoo!

So tired!!  Long past couple of days...  I've worked all weekend, wrote up basically an entire lab report, moved into the new house, gone out with the friends and boyfriend, and gone to the grandparent's place!  I'm actually ready for bed right now but I still need to format the damned report!  Gotta love when the lab component of a course is worth 60% (12% per lab)...  Ever have that lovely experience HG? lol

^ Mine's for an ecology course.  The grade's worth is proportional to the amount of work needed, but it was more of a did you ever have a ridiculously amount of work (full lab report every two weeks...) during your undergrad?

Yes, in Ecology.  It's all lab work.  But you get to go on great field trips.

Yeah, I'm actually really interested in it.  I should email my prof, she's looking for people to go and volunteer on her research over the summer, the only thing is, it's 6 weeks that I could be working here...  What kind of ecology did you study (population, conservation?)?

my fave poem when I was a kid

Mairi, when I took English Literature in college, I had a major crush on my professor, Dr. O'Brien.  She was really cute.  Anyway, she called on me to recite some Chaucer Canterbury Tales.  I inserted a few verses of Jabberwocky.  She gave me a big smile then turned serious and said: "Just stick to Chaucer, OK?"

He's pretty immature for a 50 year old in my opinion, and he's very unpredictable. Hopefully, he'll start acting like a father instead of some 20 year old.

Once upon a midnight dreary, fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bed sheets, still I sat there doing spreadsheets.
Having reached the bottom line I took a floppy from the drawer,
I then invoked the SAVE command and waited for the disk to store,
Only this and nothing more.

Deep into the monitor peering, long I sat there wond'ring, fearing,
Doubting, while the disk kept churning, turning yet to churn some more.
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token.
"Save!" I said, "You cursed mother! Save my data from before!"
One thing did the phosphors answer, only this and nothing more,
Just, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

Was this some occult illusion, some maniacal intrusion?
These were choices undesired, ones I'd never faced before.
Carefully I weighed the choices as the disk made impish noises.
The cursor flashed, insistent, waiting, baiting me to type some more.
Clearly I must press a key, choosing one and nothing more,
From "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

With fingers pale and trembling, slowly toward the keyboard bending,
Longing for a happy ending, hoping all would be restored,
Praying for some guarantee, timidly, I pressed a key.
But on the screen there still persisted words appearing as before.
Ghastly grim they blinked and taunted, haunted, as my patience wore,
Saying "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

I tried to catch the chips off guard, and pressed again, but twice as hard.
I pleaded with the cursed machine: I begged and cried and then I swore.
Now in mighty desperation, trying random combinations,
Still there came the incantation, just as senseless as before.
Cursor blinking, angrily winking, blinking nonsense as before.
Reading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

There I sat, distraught, exhausted, by my own machine accosted.
Getting up I turned away and paced across the office floor.
And then I saw a dreadful sight: a lightning bolt cut through the night.
A gasp of horror overtook me, shook me to my very core.
The lightning zapped my previous data, lost and gone forevermore.
Not even, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

To this day I do not know the place to which lost data go.
What demonic nether world us wrought where lost data will be stored,
Beyond the reach of mortal souls, beyond the ether, into black holes?
But sure as there's C, Pascal, Lotus, Ashton-Tate and more,
You will be one day be left to wander, lost on some Plutonian shore,
Pleading, "Abort, Retry, Ignore?"

ha2ha

Wow, Sondra, I can't believe that. That's just.. that is really sad. Especially considering Bob and Joan actually performed that song at MLK's March On Washington.

I couldn't find a video of it but here's a video of them singing another song.

Bob Dylan & Joan Baez - 1963 March On Washington (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJZBNPCpJqo#normal)

Sondra, you can also teach them "Black And White," by Three Dog Night.  It was a very early civil rights song written in 1954 by David I. Arkin and Earl Robinson.  The song was inspired by the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown vs. Board of Education that outlawed racial segregation of public schools.

And, of course, there's "Black Or White" (Michael Jackson).

I would love to do this one, but it's not easy for kids to sing. We're doing We Shall Overcome, Blowin' In the Wind, Positivity (Stevie Wonder), and I Have a Dream/This is Our Moment (combo of MLK and Obama's speeches with singing in between) My principal wanted Man in the Mirror and Respect, but neither really have appropriate lyrics. Maybe just the chorus parts. The kids do others stuff too besides singing. It's really very beautiful. Wish I could show it to you guys. I love teaching this unit cuz it has such meaning and they get so much out of it. I always get choked up when I show them MLK's speech. The kids are so cute when they discuss him and the whole movement. BTW, after explaining the significance of the Bob Dylan tune, my colleagues were thrilled by the suggestion to include it this year. Sometimes it helps to be educated. Ya know, enough reality shows, pick up a book once in a while.

Oh, and I am SO gonna show the kids the video you posted of Dylan and Baez. I sent the link and some Wiki info to the other teacher the day she emailed me the "What does Blowin' in the Wind have to do with anything" email.

How cute will this sound when kids sing it! I can't wait.

I see. IMO, rooming with girls = Drama time (and I know I'm not innocent of this either). My former female roomies were all so different from me, and that made things really hard. I recall one was a Bjork fan and she would play her music out loud...no offense to Bjork fans but I just hated it. I have another particularly crazy story about her but I can't share it on a public board.

^If you don't mind me asking, what happened?

10 years ago my parents got divorced. A couple of months after, my mom got into a relationship with a guy who at the time was going through his own marriage problems. He was thinking about leaving his wife for my mom. Well the guy ended up getting back with his wife.

Flash forward to today, Kathy (the wife) works at the bank that I go to (there's always awkward tension there, I never go to her for help I always go to somebody else) and I went in there today and she was working, along with another lady. The other lady helped me and as I was standing there waiting, this guy comes in and Kathy helped him. As I was standing next to the guy, he asked me if I was just waiting and I said yes, then he turned to Kathy and asked if I was one of her kids.

Awkward.


I thought to myself oh man this guy has NO idea..and I just said all awkwardly uh...no...

So yeah that was the most awkward moment of my life.

And the verses are crap, but the chorus is better. But the rapping in it sucks. But Fireflies is terrible! That singers nasaly voice gets to me :P And I am sorry to say Owl City comes from a town in Minnesota. Bob Dylan is a 500 time better MN citizen  :D

There's this girl I've been friends with for the past five years or so. About a year ago I told her I wanted to be more than friends. Her only reply was "Try to get over it". That was all she said. Ever since, we acted like it never happened. Never mentioned it again and nothing changed between us. But lately our conversations are getting quite a bit deeper (they always used to be fairly superficial) and a few days ago she accepted my invitation to go on a city trip together. So I'm a bit confused now... Should I give it another try or does she think I'm "over it" by now? Cause I sure am not. But I don't want to push it cause the last thing I want is to lose her as a friend.

In all honesty, I don't think she changed her mind about me. But "getting over it" is pretty hard.

Last week I was talking to the cleaning lady at work (a Turkish woman in her mid 40s who's lived in the Netherlands for the past 25 years or so). I told her I'd been to a Paul McCartney concert. She'd never heard of him. So I said he used to be in The Beatles. She'd never heard of them either.

Wow, the actress Britanny Murphy dies this morning. How strange. Wonder what was up. Who dies of a heart attack at 32?

(http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/m/murphy_brittany/obit_twitter_reax_122009/281x211.jpg)

Brittany Murphy Mourned By Ashton Kutcher, Lindsay Lohan, More
'See you on the other side, kid,' Kutcher says.

By Josh Horowitz

The sudden and tragic news of 32-year-old actress Brittany Murphy's death Sunday morning (December 20) has clearly touched fans and colleagues alike. While Murphy's friends and family mourn her untimely death in private, many celebrities have taken to Twitter to acknowledge the actress' life and work.

"Today the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon," tweeted Ashton Kutcher, Murphy's "Just Married" co-star and former off-screen boyfriend. "See you on the other side, kid."

Lindsay Lohan wrote: "My deepest condolences go out to all of Brittany Murphy's loved ones and may she rest in peace. ... She was a great talent w/a beautiful soul xo."

"Brittany Murphy was an incredible ray of light to so many people," Jessica Simpson tweeted. "Her smile was contagious. My prayers are with her family and loved ones."

Friend Eliza Dushku said, "My heart aches having just learned of Brittany Murphy's death. We were friends time-to-time thru the yrs. I always admired her pure spirit."

"This is horrible news when anyone passes," Khloe Kardashian wrote on her Twitter. "I'm so sorry for her family. Send prayers out, please!"

"Brittany Murphy and I did a USO Tour together in 2003," Alyssa Milano recalled. "She was a sweet soul, with a lot of talent and heart."

Fred Durst, whose manager Murphy used to date, wrote, "RIP Brittany Murphy. What a sweet human being. My prayers are with her friends and family."

"Am beyond words by the loss of Brittany Murphy," Soleil Moon Frye tweeted. "I was so blessed to know your grace. My heart goes out to your mama+ loved ones."

"Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist" star Kat Dennings wrote simply, "R.I.P Brittany Murphy. This is so awful."

"Am very shocked to hear of Brittany Murphy's passing," director Edgar Wright tweeted. "Was a fan of her in 'Clueless,' 'Freeway' and 'Sin City.' Very sad to lose someone so young."

Simon Pegg said: "Just heard about Brittany Murphy. How very sad. Met her briefly after Sin City. Seemed a great girl. My sympathy to her friends and family."

And critic Roger Ebert tweeted her praise, writing, "Brittany Murphy, dead at 32. She had a genuine quality."

I hate it when skinny b****es complain about how fat they are around me. It makes me want to throttle them.

But about Brittany Murphy, WTF? That's so awful! She was one of those actresses who never really lived up to their potential I think. She was great in Clueless, Girl Interrupted, and Drop Dead Gorgeous, but she never became a huge star like everyone expected her to. It's really a shame that she had to die so young.

I did, but that's cuz I spent the holidays with friends. Tomorrow my family comes out. Then the torture begins. Last time they were out it took me at least a week to get over it. And that was only a weekend visit! Hope you had a good holiday Marshall. Look at it as a new beginning. Everything happens for a reason. Stay positive my friend. :)

Ha!

We've already been. Believe me, San Francisco is SO not the place for them. It'll be fine. I mean, I know we'll get into at least one huge argument, but that's how it goes. They want to go to the Museum of Tolerance this time. Ironic.

It was a very tiring and frightning night to say the least, and all we wanted to do was go see Sherlock Holmes and come home. Not happening tonight. We saw the movie but didn't get home till 3 hours later. And the crazy guy is still on the loose.   :-\

The Museum of Tolerance is really good, I went many years ago for school. Also, spending time with family can be nerve-wracking...I know how it is with arguments and such. Best of luck to you!

They say the guy has Schizophrenia. I believe he shot his 66 year old mother. I don't know why exactly. He just sounds nuts to me.  :P
I was so tired from being stuck in a car though. We were stuck on this road (in your favorite place, the woods.  ;)) And it was a very windy narrow road, pictch black with like a zillion cars. It was insane. People were going nuts, getting out of their cars and trying to figure out what was happening. It was wild.

Woke up to the Beatles this morning. The radio station I listen to is playing them for the entire day because it's Boxing Day with the Beatles. Like anyone knows what that is. Pretty cool though! They even have a bunch of Beatles videos posted on their website. I love this station.

Very cool.
My parents immigrated to NZ, had me and died. I didn't even know my grandparents names, let alone met any relatives.
Starting with my mum's cellotaped old birth certificate I've now built a family tree containing over 200 names, one line going back to the 1600's. No one famous yet - a sailor killing americans in 1812, two police inspectors and a 2nd LT in 1918 is the best I've got so far.
It's fun, but can be very frustrating. I've gone off on terrible tangents, only to relaise I'm tracking completely tghe wrong person.

I have two last names as well. And I've always wanted to find out who my distant relatives are. But we've never really looked into it, someday I will I'm really interested in that kind of thing.

Sorry to hear that. I know first hand how much it sucks!

I HATE MY SCHOOL. It is a public school and we are singing christian hyms about anti-devilism! I mean hasn't anyone heard of the seperation of church and state?!?!

Maybe you should suggest a certain Rolling Stones song.

Wow that's really awful Emmi. Why are they making you do this? Is it in your choir class or something?
I don't recall having to sing spiritual songs in school, just really old boring ones. Mostly patriotic like you're a grand old flag stuff like that. Sorry to hear of that, it sounds really irritating.  :P


Yes, it's for choir. And my school is a public school in a small town that didn't even allow us to see Obama's speech to the students! Which I REALLY wanted to see. :P

Hehe, I wish!

Oops. I forgot my sister's birthday. It was yesterday. But hey, she was the one that left home, so I used her laptop and then forgot because I was too busy reading a very funny blog. And read all of the posts, which makes me sad that there's no more.

Now, she kicked me out of my own room which isn't good because I want to take a nap since I don't feel good.

What's really funny is that her birthday is the same as my friend's birthday which I remembered more than my sister's birthday.

You don't really have to be nervous to travel by yourself. The tourism industry thrives on the fears of women traveling alone. Men can travel with a backpack and five dollars, but women, ah, they have to have a taxi and a hotel room.

You'll find English commonly spoken in Europe, Sondra.  From what you said, a tour is ideal for you.  You should be able to book one where others like you will be included.  Just be sure you get down to breakfast each day on time.  You wouldn't want them all to leave without you.

Haha sometimes we need to remind them why they should appreciate us in the first place, Im a little sister too. ha2ha

You'll have a good time, Sondra.  I did a two week tour....Rome, Florence, Pisa, Monaco, Nice, Paris and Geneva when I was 18.  I did it alone.  The railroad connections were fun.  I felt like James Bond in From Russia With Love.

Sounds so awesome. My biggest obstacle now is forcing myself to put away the money. I'm SOOO bad at that cuz I'm an impulse buyer. I just bought a pair of $200 dollar boots the other day. I mean, I know it was stupid, but they were SO cute. Ugh.

You're entitled to cute boots too, Sondra.  But you know what you have to do over the next few months.  Put aside a certain amount weekly for the European tour.  Even if you can't get someone you know to go with you, you're bound to make some good friends on the tour.

Just to clarify what I said, I was traveling alone on that tour.  Fortunately there was a family from the Philadelphia area with two kids my age so I hung out with them a lot.  The tour was at the tail end of my summer in Israel that year.  All of Europe was on vacation the last two weeks of August!  In France, I used my junior and high school French.  In Italy, I tried out my high school Latin.  It was a good thing most Italians understood English!

School let out half an hour early, came home at the regular time. That says something, Mr. New Principal. You can't keep letting out people only 30 minutes before the end of the day when there's a snow storm. Snow accumulates. It sticks. That causes traffic and slow driving. Do you know that kids were waiting for their bus for about 30 minutes in the snow? I'm one of those kids, and I want to shower because I feel so gross. I wish the old principal would come back. Maybe I would have gotten home early and not ahve been in 40 minutes of traffic on a bus.

I got kicked out of one of my bands today. First time I've ever been kicked out of a band. Their reason: they thought I didn't have enough time for the band because I skipped a few rehearsals a couple of months ago. I'm not buying that... I think they thought I had too much of an own opinion (the drummer and lead singer pretty much run the band and want everyone else to do what they tell them to do) or that I'm not "cool" enough...

Worst thing is that this band was still in the rehearsal stage. We'd been working on songs for the past 8-9 months or so, and we hadn't recorded anything or played live yet. Thing is, I've always seen rehearsing as an investment (I hate rehearsing) and playing live and recording records as the reward for that investment. So basically this means 3/4 year of investing and not getting a reward for it.

Anyway, apparently there's a 2 hour delay tomorrow and a lot of people from my old school are really p*ssed.

There's a pregnant girl at my school. She was in my mixed-grade gym class/Project Challenge. She just walked around a lot.

Also, there are a bunch of smoking bathrooms at my school where people do everything in them. I had to pass by one of them on my way to physical science everday, and I also have to go that way to get to my French sometimes. One time, I passed by that bathroom, which was a guys room, and someone opened the door, and you could hear all the guys all high screaming stuff.

And there was this girl in my old World Civ class who was trouble. One time, she left to go to the bathroom and came back to the class sniffling every 2 seconds. With her reputation, I have the right to wonder.

I went with my family and boyfriend today to Macayo's, and there was this older guy sitting in the booth beside us who was nursing the last bits of a HUGE margarita, and he was kinda joking around with us from the time we sat down. About halfway through our meal he comes over and sits next to my mother and joins the conversation. We all acted like it was perfectly natural, and ended up laughing a lot and having a pretty good time. After about an hour he gave us all some weird handshake, kissing my mom's hand, and then left, and as soon as he got in his car and drove away we all looked at each other for a moment and then shrugged our shoulders, and started giggling.

Sad thing is, that's not the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. I love my life.  ha2ha

Ordered The Prisoner (original series) on Blu-ray last night because I'd love to re-watch and reanalyze the episodes (okay, so I'm a dork). Then I got up this morning and found out that Amazon suspended sales of the B-R version cuz there may be some issues with the discs or whatever. Why did this have to happen the day after I put in my order??

Even though I said I'd be happy to do it last night, I'm realizing now that I REALLY don't want to drive my brother and his friends to freaking MESA. Especially since it's a forty-five minute drive there, just so I can turn around and drive back home. Plus, there are no Beatles in Mesa.

I totally agree with you. For example, the Anita Blake series, I don't know if you've heard of it or read it, but I really, really enjoyed it - until it turned into some huge vampires vs. werewolves vs. shapeshifters... thing. I got to a point where I got so bored of it I gave up.

And then of course there's the ever-present Twilight, but I'm not getting into that.

Nooooooo! Your friend and I would have some issues, hahaha.

My Jonas-loving friends looked at a poster on my wall, of that picture of the four of them walking down a street and looking like models? And both of them autormatically looked at George and said, "Hey, Paul was the hot one right? So then is that one him?" I almost died laughing.

They looked closer a little later and decided that George had a gross unibrow and hated his longer hair, and they said that Paul WAS the hot one, but that the other three were kind of ugly.

I am truly amazed I didn't kick them out.  ;D ha2ha

^The schools never close here except for the smaller towns around the area. In December though, we had a huge snow storm that even closed the Universities (and that never happens) and so everyone was so happy... even though you really couldn't do anything. The government offices closed as well that day.

Anyways, living here in FunLand, MA, you would expect a lot of snow. You would also expect the FunLand schools to chlose? Not here. All the other towns around FunLand, but no. Our superintendent insists on getting us all to school, getting us snowed in, releasing us with 30 minutes left in the day, waiting for another 30 minutes for a bus, and taking at least one hour to get home on said bus.

If I go to school tomorrow and don't come back, I'll truly miss you all.

^I think that's what we would call a state of emergency.

Here, we call it fun because of snowball fights. :)

Our superintendent insists on getting us all to school, getting us snowed in, releasing us with 30 minutes left in the day, waiting for another 30 minutes for a bus, and taking at least one hour to get home on said bus.

If I go to school tomorrow and don't come back, I'll truly miss you all.

I used to go to public schools and they'd give me that sort of nonsense all the time.
Why don't they just get it and let us stay home?!

Anyway, if Angie and Paul hate each other, then it's really no surprise that she's not going to be his fan. ha2ha

Penny Lane is right. Guys that age really suck. They like to flirt just to do it and then when you get the wrong signals they wonder why on earth you'd think that. But once you get out of high school, you start to find some really awesome guys. It's just that they take awhile to reach the right... ripeness. ;D And of course there are some really great guys IN high school, occasionally. You just have to know which ones are the good ones.

Oh. My. God. Before my husband and I started dating in high school, he pulled the exact same crap on me: Flirting shamelessly and then telling me he didn't like me. He really did break my heart back then. >:( >:( >:( >:(

It look me years to forgive him for that. At least he knows he loves me now...muhahahaha. ha2ha ;D Like I said, teenage boys = Stupid.  ;)

Oh, this is very annoying! Noise coming from upstairs all the time... It would drive me mad! Playing loud music early morning, imagine that! Here one is not allowed to make big noise on weekday evenings and only till 11 pm at the weekends. You did the right thing! Let the housing company or the police deal with them. Luck to you, Andy!

PS - How come I didn't know that Jeremy Abbot was skating to Jeff Beck's version of A Day In The Life for his short program???  lol.  PPS - he's sucking pretty hardcore right now.  Although the standings don't reflect it, I think Evan Lysachek's had the best skate of the night!

I put a Lonnie Donegan CD in and even though everyone knows Lonnie was a Skiffle artist, and the album's even called "King Of Skiffle", Itunes decided to label it as Country...  It's bloody SKIFFLE!  ;D

I was going to see Shutter Island tonight in a town 45 mins away since my local theater isn't carrying it opening weekend for some reason. Anyway, we're in the middle of a snow storm and I decided to go anyway because I really want to see the movie. I'm about 15 minutes outside of the town when I get stuck in this HUGE traffic jam because of an accident. I waited like 20 minutes before deciding to turn around and go home because I knew I was never going to reach the theater in time and the roads were getting bad.

So...I will hopefully see the movie tomorrow. It's not supposed to snow.

Believe me, I'm really, really grateful that I'm getting to see Paul again. :) And having any saved-up cash always helps too, since these concerts don't come cheap.

You know, Paul's current tour is supposed to be "extensive" from what I've read, so he could turn up anywhere...hopefully Oregon too!

Has Ringo updated his tour list, BTW?

^yeah that would be nice if he dropped by here! I hope he does one of these days.

And the Ringo news is depressing, last I looked he isn't coming to Oregon. Instead he booked two shows in Washington instead. I'm a little miffed about it myself. Why RINGO??  :'(

Gaaaah....Ringo! Doesn't he know his biggest fans live in Oregon and New Zealand?? ;) Also, is it just me or has he not played outside of the US in ages?

As for Paul, I usually try to stay on top of his touring rumors, so if I hear anything about him heading towards Oregon, I'll post about it!

But in the meantime let us turn a nice shade of green-with-envy at the luckiness of Penny and Sondra ha2ha Hope you guys have an awesome time! (actually, no "hope" about it, you sure will! :D )

I wish Paulie would do a DM members' concert and fly us all to one place...whoo hoo. Now there's an idea, haha. :D But thanks, Octie!

It's not Aphex Twin's music I don't like, it's the themes.  I do listen to some electro and rave, but that guy just creeps me out with all the subliminal messages he hides in his videos and album artwork, and how he seems to reference paedophilia in some songs...  he's weird.   :-\

Long story. My dad and I don't really get along very well. There's been alot of bad blood between him, my step mom and me since 2006. He is always on my case about something and he doesn't pay for my schooling. My mom and I have to pay for it all which it's really hard. My dad had always paid for my sister & brother's tution but not mine. It's not fair and I just feel like I'm a huge disappointment in his eyes compared to my siblings. The only time we talk really is when it has to do about school. I always have to call him. He never calls me and asks how my day is, how work is, how my project is going etc it just sucks.

I'm not sure why Ringo doesn't do international tours (outside the US)...is it for financial reasons or just personal preference? :( As for Paul, you may have some better luck since he likes popping up in surprise places like Israel and Puerto Rico. I wish I could make them both go to NZ for ya!

Yesterday at 11 pm, my mom took me to this 24 hour clinic at 11 p.m because I had this odd, spreading skin condition. So I waited in one of the rooms, telling my mom that I REALLY hope that they give me some ointment or something, ANYTHING but shots. Suddenly, the doctor walks in with a shot, along with 3 different kinds of medications that she'd insert into the shot. I mentally cursed to myself, and looked the other way as the lady inserted the needle. I could TASTE it in the back of my throat!! So the lady LEFT the needle in my arm and left the room for the effects to kick in. My limbs kept trembling and I got these weird spasms, and I couldn't talk clearly. At the same time, I was really drowsy. So about an hour later, we left the clinic and I was walking into the parking lot like a drunk, I couldn't walk straight. Needles don't really scare me, but I have to admit, those effects were pretty damn scary!!

I had a terrible episode of dry skin a couple weeks ago and it was all over my arms and my back (dark red spots that felt like they were burning my skin off). It hurt too much to move and my doctor gave me a whole bunch of lotions to see if they would help. They didn't help at all except one (which took a week to get the flakes of dry skin off my arms and back) and I'm still getting mild episodes of the same thing.

God, I'm FURIOUS right now! For my National History Day project, one of the judges wrote this in her review:

I didn't see any signs of plagiarism in your project.  You cited references for the information you presented.  Your quotes were properly credited.

The problem here is your school and its hiring of substandard teachers.  How someone who can't spell and who hasn't mastered basic English grammar can become a teacher is beyond me!

I'm so annoyed!  At high school, I didn't go to the prom because I had no friends and was pretty terribly bullied throughout school, so there was no point to me going.  At college, our leaving party was a little lame and there wasn't really a sense of occasion.  So I was REALLY looking forward to what's happening this year...
There are four universities in my city, and in the Summer, they all come together and put on the Leeds Summer Ball, which is a massive event that takes place at an outdoor park.  It's like our own mini-festival for all the Leeds students to go to; there are four stages where loads of bands play, and a free funfair with rides.  This year, they even managed to get Florence And The Machine to headline it!  It's supposed to be fantastic, and there are over 5000 students with tickets already!  You even get taken there in some sort of carriage...
And not only will the boy I'm involved with NOT take me to the ball, all of my friends are refusing to go too.  Fan-bloody-tastic.   :-[
This Cinderella ain't never gonna get to the ball at this rate!   :-\

Your welcome....It's been nearly a year since I had to choose music over my partner of 9years. One of the, if not toughest decisions of my life. There are plenty of roles music related out there...One thing I have had to learn to be is adaptable and made it my interest also to get on the sound engineering side of things which broadens the earning scope when gig slots are tighter and saves any band I'm in a lot of money on 'studio time'. There is also instruction to consider. Most full-time musicians I know, teach like crazy and play in various bands to have any chance of paying the mortgage off.  Your last sentence is pretty much where I am at but make sure you get to make time for relationships, family or personal. You need that time out from some of the frustrations and challenges music can present. Also, it's not a race, music is a companion for life, so don't set un-realistic targets but dream as much as your inspiration will take you and you'll find that you may surprise yourself. :)

Your welcome....It's been nearly a year since I had to choose music over my partner of 9years. One of the, if not toughest decisions of my life. There are plenty of roles music related out there...One thing I have had to learn to be is adaptable and made it my interest also to get on the sound engineering side of things which broadens the earning scope when gig slots are tighter and saves any band I'm in a lot of money on 'studio time'. There is also instruction to consider. Most full-time musicians I know, teach like crazy and play in various bands to have any chance of paying the mortgage off.  Your last sentence is pretty much where I am at but make sure you get to make time for relationships, family or personal. You need that time out from some of the frustrations and challenges music can present. Also, it's not a race, music is a companion for life, so don't set un-realistic targets but dream as much as your inspiration will take you and you'll find that you may surprise yourself. :)

I know what you're saying.  I'm not planning on doing just one role in music, I want to be as many different "people" as I can.  I'm mostly heading towards sound engineering (live and studio), production, songwriting, and performing myself...  Not just to be employable, but because it all interests me.  I know my biggest desire is to be a performing musician, but I'm not even counting that as something that will come true, even on a small scale, cos nowadays, you can't just "jump" into the industry, strum a few chords and there you have a career for life.  I'm well aware that I have to do everything and anything I can, and I will!  As for relationships, I don't think I can devote myself to anyone while I'm still searching for myself in this industry.  I'm only young, and besides, I don't want to make the same mistake my dad did.  I'd rather not get involved with anyone at all, until my career and my identity in music are more secure.  That way I can't hurt anyone along the way.

However, random thought for today...

I HATE it when technology makes no sense!!!  I've been waiting for a piece of recording equipment for a month longer than promised, and now that I've got it, I have no idea how to make it work.  I followed every instruction, and looked all over the internet, but nothing helps, and now my whole home studio is screwed.  Actually, scratch that first thought.  I hate technology in general.  I'm fulfilling all my Beatle-shaped desires by going to Liverpool tomorrow, and this technology thing has p*ssed me off that much, I'm not even excited.  *Worst mood ever*

Woohoo! *high fives*

Alright. Right now, there is a 80% I will own a Cherry Red Gibson ES345. Oh, what year? 1967. It was my great uncle's, and he died a year ago. I hadn't met him, but he lived with my mother for 3 years. And I am the only person in my family (on my mother's side) that plays guitar. BUT, my Aunt who lives in Texas wants to take it and put it in a case in her livingroom, because she believes it's an antique and shouldn't be played. But I have played it, it is an amazing instrument. But, legally, my Aunt can't have it! Because about 3 years ago my great uncle put it in a repair shop so the people could replace the nylon bridge pieces and put metal ones in, and he never came back for it. So after 180 days it went into the ownership of the repair shop. But finally they tracked my Grandmother down, so me and my Dad drove all the way to Eau Claire, Wisconson to pick up the guitar. The man who had ownership of it was really wary of giving it to my Dad. So my Dad had me play it and then the man said to ME, "I will give you the guitar, but I don't want it to be put in a case somewhere in Texas. What this guitar needs is to be played everyday and a name." So yah!!! He said it was mine!!!



Sorry I rambled. I needed to get this off of my chest.

I just got back from a trip to our beloved Liverpool!  :D
I actually managed to get my dad to take me there.  It wasn't the best day, since it was lashing it down, and we got there too late to go on the Magical Mystery Tour, but we still had a good time.  We went to Mathew Street and stood at the entrance to The Cavern, feeling sorry for it.  I can't believe they never even did the work they tore it down for.  The "new" Cavern was so enticing despite that though...  I just wanted to rush down the stairs and see our boys on stage...  *facepalm*  ;D
I went to a couple of shops and bought three Beatles t-shirts and some socks with the "Help!" logo on!  I couldn't resist!  And then we went into The Grapes pub where The Beatles used to hang out when Pete and Stu were in...  it was amazing because there was a photo on the wall of John, George, Paul and Pete sitting at a table in the pub, and there was a sign pointing to the very seat that the photo was taken.  You could tell by the decorations on the walls and the layout of the room, they really had been sitting in that pub.  I got such a thrill from knowing that if this had been the early 60's, I could have turned around and the boys would have been sitting right behind me.  :)
It was a shame that the rain stopped us from staying too long, but I'm determined to go back in the summer and do The Beatles Story and the Magical Mystery Tour...  I can't die happy until I've been to John's house.  :D

The annoying thing about the whole ash cloud thing is that airlines ARE prepared to fly in it, they just can't be bothered telling everyone because then there'll be a massive rush and they'll have more work to do.  One of my mum's employees got stuck in Tenerife last week, and they said they couldn't get her back until the 29th, which is really inconvenient because she needs to work.  She asked if they could get her back any sooner if she paid any more money, and the greedy bastards said "of course, if you pay us more, we can get you back on the 24th instead!"  But it's cost her £600 for them to be bothered actually making an effort to help her...  so some airlines ARE prepared to fly this week, they just won't do it unless you pay through the nose.  This woman's had to scrape half her earnings together just to get home to go back to work!   :-\

The Supremes = pretty middle sister who's been dating the same guy for three years.
The Ronettes = sexy younger sister who hangs out with the motocycle gang after school and smokes cigarettes
Martha and the Vandellas = cool college-aged cousin who knows all the best bands

Random thought for the day: I bought a pair of white shoes last week specifically to wear for this event at the weekend where my outfit is all white so I need white shoes, and I wore them today and it absolutely whizzed it down with rain and they're COMPLETELY RUINED.  I'm gonna have to spent £18 on an identical pair now, they're completely uncleanable.   >:(

Anyways, I'm really excited, because I found another bike I could get which looks better than the one that I initially wanted. The one that I initially wanted was pink, but it wasn't shiny. But then, I found a red and white one that is shiny and looks like it came out of the '5os! So anyways, my sister is going to drop off her bike rack, and the earliest I can get it is tomorrow! Maybe Monday, but I'm getting it soon! I'm also getting a basket AND a bell.

People are such petty idiots.  Earlier today, me and my friend were shopping, using the self-service machines, and a group of chavs were using the machine opposite us.  When you're buying alcohol at those machines, you have to be checked by a member of staff for ID before it lets you buy it, and these lads didn't have any ID.  The store attendant went over and told them that they couldn't buy it without ID, and just because the store attendant was Asian and they were white, they tried to turn it into a racial attack, even though the man was perfectly in his rights to deny them alcohol!  They were screaming and shouting all over the shop.  Pathetic.  It's a bottle of booze, for god's sake.
Another thing that annoyed me about total strangers interrupting my night happened a little while ago.  Me and the same friend went to the pub for a drink, and the city we're in must have just won some football match or something like that, because there were crowds all over the streets, drunk out of their minds, chanting some kind of sport chant and running about in the middle of the road.  Me and my friend didn't even go anywhere near them, so we couldn't have provoked them in any way, but they all came across the road and surrounded us, yelling and jumping in front of us, and then one of them, rather disrespectfully considering he was a massive guy and I'm a pretty small girl, smacked me in the head and pulled the bow out of my hair.  I really don't get why people have to be mean to complete strangers who've done nothing to aggravate them whatsoever.

Live from New York, it's . . . The Beatles! ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZuk8N0TgU#lq-lq2-hq[/url])


Did you know that John and Paul were watching this together and ALMOST went down there but they were too tired.

A million and one thousand things are screaming in my head
And I can’t seem to forget, can’t stop thinking about you
I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two
Could you teach me how to ride, like you taught me how to feel alive?

And not a single day goes by when I don’t wish for you
To watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away
But I’ll play every word back round and round to try and find
A clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same

And even if I know
I’ll never be your Leo
I’ll keep holding on

A hundred and three thousand ghosts are laughing in my dreams
My eyes are failing me, everywhere I look I see you
I could bake a chocolate cake for you with tiers up to the moon
Could you show me how it’s done, like you showed me how to fall in love?

You’ll never see that I’m the one who never left you
When you needed me to cry to ‘cos your heart got broke again
So I’ll play until the strings on my guitar give out,
And I’ll be aching from the pain of trying to pretend

And even if I know
I’ll never be your Leo
I’ll keep holding on

SORRY. But this is random thoughts right? This song has been stuck in my head for DAYS.

You have no idea how shocked I was. I feel guilty. Like it's WAY too much. I've known some of these parents for a few years now because I taught some of the older siblings. They LOVE that I get the kids into the Beatles. It's funny how much that means to them. Among everything else. I'm tutoring a couple of the kids over the summer. I'm gonna have a hard time even charging them! I feel like I owe them!

The guitar feels a bit lighter when the strap is attached to the headstock and supported by the shoulders.  Maybe he was more comfortable that way early on.

-Went down the boardwalk and read Peyton Place while drinking a delicious smoothie
-Was extremely productive at work today, so much so that I'll probably be able to get off early tomorrow so I can go to '60s night at a local pub
-And on top of that I've lost 15 pounds.

I thought I had it made until I saw Sondra's bass. Woman, you must be a hell of a teacher. But that comes as no surprise to me.

God, I despise Facebook sometimes. I see things that I really don't need to see.

Understood. There's someone on my FB who made a really inappropriate comment about himself and his wife (she is breast feeding, so use your imagination on what he said). Why, people, WHY!! There are so many things that are better left unsaid!!

LOL don't you love when your parents have connections? My Dad used to work for a few radio stations and he got sooo many free concert tickets and such. I went to disney world 5 times when I was a kid because he got a bunch of free Jump Passes (things that you can get to the front of the line) and discounted tickets. It's fun X)

Bill said he held the guitar up to protect himself from the light so that he could see the girls in the audience better. However the real reason might be the fact that he is short-handed, which he himself admits, and so it is more convenient for him to play with his guitar up...  :)

I'm so livid right now.  When I was about six years old, I started getting styes, which are basically infections that come up into large swollen lump on your eyelid.  They're filled with pus and burst (which always glues your eyelids together) and you have to look after them 24/7.  I basically couldn't be alone because I'd be practically blind for two weeks with these things.  Every few months, I got one, and sometimes I got more than one on the same eye, which was horrendous.  The doctors said that they're caused by the oil gland under your eyelash getting blocked, say with dirt or something, but I wasn't doing anything to inflict them.  They said it was just something my body did, and I'd just have to deal with it.  I kept getting them until I was eleven, and then suddenly it stopped, and I just never got them again, no matter what I did to my eyes.  The doctor said it was just one of those silly phases that your body goes through, and I'd grown out of it.  But now, all of a sudden, now that I'm nearly 21, I've got one completely out of the blue, and I defenitely did NOTHING to provoke it!  I swear to god...  I'm not living the rest of my life with pus coming out of my eyes every few months.  It blinds me for weeks and I'm pretty much incapable of doing anything on my own.  Please, for the love of god, don't let this start again!   :'(

Sorry about working on the weekend! That's no fun...does this happen often? I remember I briefly had a job where I worked both Saturdays and Sundays and I had to miss out on hanging with my friends.

JGD, about your eye, that really sucks...  :( :( I wonder if there's any special kind of eyedrops that might help... Do you wear contacts?
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Jai Guru Deva. on June 27, 2010, 10:19:36 PM
Like I said, I haven't done anything to provoke this random one.  I haven't physically done anything to my eye, and I'm not stressed, and don't wear contacts.  I'm already using special eyedrops to try to calm it down, but there's nothing you can do with styes, you just have to let them burst and screw your eye up until it goes away.  I've been to the doctors countless times, and all they can say is that I'm just "one of those people" that this happens to.  They say that it's not my fault, that it's nothing I do to cause it and nothing wrong with my body, it's just something my eyes do.  There's nothing I can do to stop them recurring, either.  I just can't believe we all thought I'd grown out of it, and then all of a sudden nearly 10 years later, I get another one.  I wouldn't care so much but they REALLY interrupt your life.   :(

On a different, more comical note, I present to you "The (Illegal) Immigrant Song"

ohhhhhhh lay
ohhhhhhh lay
we come from the land of ol' mexico
to the golden state where the grape crops grow

we're hammered by the feds
they ship us back to our land
but back we pour
living and thriving
eu-re-ka...we are coming

in we creep
right through the door
our only goal is to get in once more

ohhhhhhh lay
ohhhhhhh lay
we come from the land of ol' mexico
its a midnight run and we're set to go

how rich, your fields of green
the "migra" we abhor
oh, how we swarm
for this is war
we work for gringo lords

earn our keep
though pay is poor
our only goal is just a job to score

if you've got better crops
its cause of work we're doin'
life's sweet for us
we shout ole'
despite of all our bruisin'

ole'...ole'...ole'

A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

What I don't understand about people anymore is WHY they treat public events (concerts) like it's their own living room. People kept chatting out loud throughout the entire show, regardless of the other folks around them. I mean, do people not learn good manners these days?

And on my way out, some guy in a Porsche SUV nearly ran people over (including me and a disabled kid!) just to get the hell out of the parking lot. Seriously, some people are just appalling!!

Last Sunday night, my dad saw a guy lying on the driveway. He went outside to check if the guy was OK. The guy then stood up, took his keys and headed towards his car. Since he was so drunk that he could barely even walk, my dad stopped him and took his keys. Then he noticed that this guest had left a few presents on the driveway: a puddle of vomit, a big turd, and his underwear... :-X

Must have looked like an excellent commercial against excessive drinking.

YAY!!! Charlie is amazing, isn't he?? And yes, I have a ridiculous crush on him, I won't deny it lol. I'm just anxiously waiting for his next video to come out X)

So, I got three hours of sleep last night, and I have a BIG horse show today. I think I was just really nervous, since this will be the biggest one I've been in. (It's at the county fair) So I'm going to get myself as physically prepared as possible so I can just auto-piolet through the whole day until I'm actually in the show ring, I'll see if anyone takes pictures.. (I will most likely look dead on my feet though haha)

I did really good!! I made it through the day and I wasn't THAT tired, until I got home, then I was exhausted. But I did really good in most of the events, it was much fun!

All of my crushes are British with longish hair and all musicians.  Perhaps the British are secretly the best looking people out there...  there's hope for me after all!   ha2ha
And I'm glad you did well in your horse show!  I only ever did two shows with the horse that I had on loan.  The first section was always gymkhana games, and then the second was a dressage competition.  Me and Felix came 4th in dressage the first year, and 3rd the second, so we mustn't have been too bad.  The only thing we ever won in the Gymkhana was the horseback egg and spoon race once!   ha2ha

For the past 15 years, I've been writing hardcore/punk songs as well as pop/singer-songwriter songs. I've been in six hardcore and punk bands ever since so I've had more than enough outlets for the heavy songs, but I never had an outlet for my pop songs. Today I approached two of the most talented musicians I know (a multi-instrumentalist/producer and a female singer with a gorgeous voice) and they both agreed to work with me. We're probably going to start recording this Saturday. Needless to say I'm excited as hell.

It's typical; I'm fine most of the time, but right when we're about to go on holiday abroad, my body suddenly decides it'd quite fancy having a very unnecessary overreaction to an Indian takeaway...  I've been in the bathroom since 10pm YESTERDAY.  And I'm supposed to get on a plane and go on holiday in two days.  Well done, stomach.  I swear to god...
It sprung from my mum really - always blame someone else!  She loves Indian food, and I've never liked it, but when I thought about it, it's probably because I've only ever experienced Indian food from crappy takeaways.  So my mum suggests I should have something from the best takeaway in town, because "it's the best Indian food I've ever had in my life" and all that.  So I thought why not?  I do wish I enjoyed Indian food, because it always looks nice, and I wanted to conquer my difficulty with it because I really want to go to India, and wouldn't want to go there not being able to tolerate the cuisine.  I didn't wanna be like Ringo!   ha2ha
So I had a nice Pasanda...  and I wish I never had.  I seriously never wanna see a bathroom again.  This'd better not still be happening when it's holiday time!  That's the unfortunate thing me and Ringo have in common; we both have huge difficulties handling certain foods, and anything we can't handle provokes a big reaction.  Looks like India's quite literally gone down the pan for me then...  :(

Keep us updated, Joost!

Had an eight hour recording session today, I recorded the guitars and bass for the first three of the four songs we're going to do. Came out sounding even cooler than I hoped. It's quite a diverse mix: one is groovy rock song, one is an acoustic baroque/folk song and I have no clue how the third song is going to sound. The guy who's producing the songs said he had some cool ideas for it, so I gave him carte blance to add whatever he wants to my guitar and bass parts. I hope the music will be finished within a month or so and then we'll do the vocals.

It's amazing how the crowd reacted when he hit the higher notes!
His opening act was Bettye LaVette, she covered a Who song, a Beatles song, and a George Harrison song, along with her own work.  ;D She was great too!
The whole concert was so amazing.
When it was over, I could barely hear anything! When we went into the parking lot building, I passed by a bong-coated car that a bunch of people were taking pictures around, lol.  ha2ha

It's a tour in Liverpool that takes you around all the places related to The Beatles and their friends, like the Cavern Club, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane etc.  The best part is that you get to see all of the boys' childhood homes, and of course since John's house on Menlove Avenue was kept pretty much exactly the way it was after Mimi left it, you get to go into it and walk around John's home...  they even kept his posters on the wall in his bedroom...  I can't wait.

I hate when Daylight Savings takes away an hour. :(

I feel your pain!

*angry rant*

Today was a totally craptastic day. Basically, I had to turn in a report with a partner and she screwed up some info on it. Needless to say, I didn't catch her errors. The professor didn't like a lot about our paper in general, so she is giving us both a failing grade on that report. But because she doesn't want to fail us completely for our midterm grade, she's giving us extra work to do on the side to try to salvage our grade. Whoopee, more homework.

It's my fault for not catching my partner's mistakes (although I wasn't that familiar with her section of the material...we agreed to split the report) but I'm just especially irritated that we're both getting punished, especially this harshly. I put in an entire weekend's work on that report and it was painful, and I can't believe all that effort got a 0.

Damn group projects/papers... You're only as strong as your weakest link.  >:( >:(

BTW, Mrs L, if you're reading this--this is the same classmate I mentioned to you before, the one who was two hours late to my house to do schoolwork because she had to go to bleeping IHOP!!!  >:( >:(

Ugh, that sounds really annoying :-\ Sorry to hear!

I've generally been lucky with group work, in terms of the people I got to work with (not sure if they were lucky to get stuck with me, but that's another matter ;) ).
Except there was one group presentation which didn't work well. I ended up being group leader/organiser, and tried to organise a meeting, but people didn't reply to their emails/phones until the day before the meeting. We finally set up the meeting for 1pm, and at 1.15pm one of the guys emails me asking "is that 1pm before or after daylight saving time?"
x________x
That was a bit frustrating ;) We didn't get a very good mark for that presentation.

In any case, I don't think that professor should have penalised you like that...
Hopefully next time you get to work with more conscienscious/organised people!

Octie, sorry to hear about your bad group experience. Sometimes it's a royal pain to have to work with others, especially if they are not too responsible. I'm sure you're a great group partner, though! You always sound like you work so hard. :)

I remember having another bad group partner back in 8th grade or so. A girl and I had to memorize a historical report and recite it back to our history class. I did fine on my half of my presentation, but my partner forgot her entire section and totally bombed. Our teacher was really lenient on me and pulled our presentation grade down from an A+ to an A-. Now if only university profs could be that nice, LOL.....

Well... the perceived advantages are that celebrity crushes somehow feel less bad/embarassing... And there are lots more things you can do: You can search for pictures, look at videos of your favourite scenes/inteviews, make a slideshow, etc. And it won't be weird, or stalker-like. And it will be fun and guilt-free.
Whereas with a "real-life" person.... you're kinda limited to sitting there and crushing away in your head. Because one doesn't want to be a stalker, and one can't risk people/the person finding out.

Or so I've heard... ;)

Ah, I understand. Liking a person in RL usually is more tough so I do sympathize. In HS I've had several crushes find out that I liked them and it was often dead mortifying, :( BUT sometimes things do work out for the best. How long have you had your crush?

Had it since we first worked on a job together, which was around April/May, so not that long. Then a few weeks ago we got to work together again, which was awesome (or not). I think they should ban the cool/cute/smart/funny combination at work ;) (or they should ban silly people such as myself ;D )

I'm NEVER taking the internet or my personal files for granted again...  yesterday, my laptop just absolutely died a very ungraceful and untimely death, which left me panicking, thinking that I'd lost everything I'd done and saved since my last back-up (which for a music student who acquires a LOT of materials every day is a distressing concept!), and then all of a sudden it sprung back to life and let me do a system restore...  so after a lot of faffing and worrying, my laptop's working again.  And before you mention it, YES, I just backed up every important file I own!   ;D
Still, what a scare.  I've only had the thing two years, it can't die on me yet...  It's the only thing I have left to represent my hatred of Macs, and stop me from having to convert to them full time at that!   :o

My spine has been bothering me since February and the doctor have already tried physical therapy on me but decided to check more into it more to make sure that I didn't have anything else. Once they do the MRI, they will send me back to sports medicine for physical therapy. It's really effecting my dancing and I can't do competitions right now.

He's alright thankfully. But now he has to go on this whack diet and loose some of his muscle mass. (He can bench press 300+) Because carrying all the extra muscle around puts strain on his heart. And when your a baby you are born with a hole in your heart and it closes up as you grow. Well, my Dad's never closed up. So he can't be putting stress on his heart like that... So yeah.

Thanks! Also for the suggestion.

It's cool that you hear the sixties feel, cause I was kind of going for that, but only in the songwriting. Cause the sound, well... It probably would be very cool to recreate a real 60s sound if you have some really good authentic analog recording equipment... I know it's possible to get a fairly similar sound with a computer, but I don't know... I think it would feel like "faking it" to me, cause the songs really weren't recorded like they did in the sixties.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've used a tanning bed, but I think I might want to go to one in the near future. I've been sick and my skin is so pale I look like a zombie... well, an ethnic zombie...

I lost my voice :( Whatever I say comes out a whisper or really hoarse sounding, which means whatever I sing comes out worse, and that isn't okay!! D: -sigh-

But, this does give me the excuse to watch Queen videos on YouTube all day.

Queen - 'Don't Stop Me Now' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM#)

I can just picture Mrs. Lennon saying "Since when do YOU need an excuse to watch Queen videos all day?" Lmao

It was supposed to be mine, but I had an anxiety attack in rehearsal recently and had to tell my director that I was going through some personal problems and didn't know where my life was going. I guess that was a mistake. It's for the best of the show, though.

But just today, I wrote my first song on guitar! I wrote the lyrics in like 5 minutes, to go with whatever riff I came up with. The process was so fun!
And just recently, I saw a Beatles-itunes commerical, and I watched it like I was in some sort of trance. XD

Depends on which argument is more valid and plausible. You always need to think things through, because you'll make silly mistakes if you don't. But you always need to listen to your heart, so you know your actual ambitions and desires.

I guess I'm saying listen to your heart, but know what you're getting yourself into at the same time.

On another note....

It just blows my mind that there are people who can't name all four members of The Beatles. Of course not everybody has to be a fan, but come on... If that isn't basic common knowledge, than I don't know what is.

I got my haircut today & the gorgeous blonde who did most of the cutting had a wing tattoo that was EXACTLY like my wing necklace. I found that very interesting, random and awesome.  :)

In other news I just got in touch with Steve Howard who was part of the horn section that accompanied Wings during their 1975-1976 world tour. Also had my email in regards to Jimmy forwarded to Hugh Nicholson (ex Marmalade & Blue) and if I get in touch with Hugh, that'll mean that I am in touch with people that played with Jimmy at each stage of his career from start to finish.

The funny thing is that I'm nowhere near done with anything in regards to the project.

Sons of Admirals - Here Comes My Baby (Fan Video) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZmJttduhSU#)

I made a fan video for the band Sons Of Admirals. It took me a whole day, I dunno if it was worth it or not, you tell me  ha2ha

(Btw, they're YouTube musicians, so all the clips are from either interviews or their own personal vlogs)

Something like that happened to a close friend of mine right after she got engaged.  The turning point came when she actually sat down and talked to her fiance and realized that they needed this in their relationship to re-evaluate it and they came out realizing that they loved each other even more.  Hope everything works out for you!

Yes I am very young and maybe confused? Yes perhaps. Sadly he's the only way I'm going to get out of the house too. There's also something else keeping me close to him and that's a son who isn't here yet.

He's quite controlling but loves me. It makes me mad though that he works with his old girlfriend (and all the girls there like him) so I'm working where he works now keeping an eye on them. Didn't really want to spy but it happened because I don't trust them.

Sigh then I was walking someplace and found an old friend I had forgotton about and that's why I'm questioning this engagement.

From personal experience, controlling isn't a good thing, especially when it's to a point where you aren't able to trust who he's with and how he acts when he's around those people.  I don't know if it's any help or anything but talk to him, let him know what you're questioning in the relationship and see how it unfolds?

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at the whole understanding on the relationship thing.  Especially at 17...  But if I know anything about them, trust is key.

Well I talked to him and he did manage to stay calm. I think we got everything worked out? He doesn't trust me just because a guy at a local sandwich cafe was flirting with me a while back.  So what I did flirt back? He does that with his former girlfriend. roll:) I'm also an irish dancer who has a lot of guys around me and that makes him nervous. Is he just getting me back by flirting with his old girlfriend because I'm friends with too many other guys? Sigh, I'm confused.

It's a wonderful thing to make people get mad.

well yes but in this case, I'm expecting and that makes people very mad if you're not married.

I'm struggling but will make sure everything turns out alright with this.

May I just say, holy freaking hell today's been long!  I slept in and woke up 5 minutes before I had to leave for work today, didn't have anything to eat or a coffee or anything, stayed at work for an additional 2.5 hours, only had a sub and some chipolata (sp?) chicken taco things and a glass of wine and it's crazy messing with my head!  Not to mention I come home hoping to talk to the semi-boyfriend and he's not online!  Ugh...

it sounds like you had a rough day.


Sigh, my boyfriend argued with me until I just left because he said "I don't condone you to get close to your ex anymore. If you care enough about me you'd stay here. Otherwise leave me and come back when you agree to leave him alone!"
I took out the swear words for you younger kids on here.
So I left. What can i say? I couldn't leave my ex alone if I tried. He dances with the dance company I'm in and I'm going to Spain with my dance group and he's in it.

I couldn't help it... when you're boyfriend looks like Joshua Ward (out of the band Brother) it's really hard to leave him there...

ARGH! Today wasn't a very good day either!

Okay... I was suppose to be driving someplace today to teach a dance class and ended up sitting in a parking lot instead with my car because it smelled like gas and a light was on. Stupid things... then across the street somebody was shot and killed (bad neighborhood I ended up in) and several construction things going on, cars hitting each other, people getting hit... ARGH!  >:(

He also the day before bought me a new dress for the party (which was so pretty!) and I think it was the best party ever thrown for me.  ;D

I didn't manage to order it though because no matter how often I tried, the final page of the order form wouldn't load. So I decided to try again at some other time. This morning I spoke to an aunt of mine and completely out of the blue, she said that she'd just inherited a laptop, that she didn't need it, and asked me if I wanted to have it...  :o ;yes

I usually have a pretty high tolerance too. Went for drinks with workmates last night, and the bar was doing 2-for-1 cocktails. I didn't have anyone to pair up with, so I ended up having both cocktails myself. People had a laugh about me being Russian and all. Then a workmate arrived late and wanted a 2-for-1... and I kinda got volunteered to be the one who has her second drink ha2ha

Yeah I have to agree, kids can be terrible.  I was bullied when I started school in the city where I live now (not to the point of them wanting to kill me but to the point of things being incredibly hard to even go to school because of the psychological aspect), but I didn't change schools or anything and I think that my life turned out better because I dealt with the bullies head on instead of running off to a different school or something.


Right now I'm freaking out a little.  There's a severe thunder storm warning, flooding warning and tornado warnings around Detroit and cities close to where I live.  Just freaking out a little because my "boyfriend" lives in Detroit and his basement has already flooded once this week and killed many of the components in his car.  Things aren't going his way right now, just hoping he doesn't get hit too badly with this storm!

I would have loved to have changed schools but looking back on it now, I wouldn't have met and become so close to two of my really close friends.  There's a silver lining to everything.

By the way! There was a 2 hour long documentary about John on TV last night. Best docmentary I've seen so far. The thing I liked alot about it was that when they talked about his death they didn't mention 'you know who'  :) there were great interviews with Yoko, May Pang and friends to John in New York. Definetly recommended! It's called Lennon and New York, I think...it's called Lennon och New York in Swedish so... ;D

Yeah haha it is and I was so nervous while taking the road tests that I went straight through a red light because I thought it was green. :P
It's also rough for me becauseof cluster headaches to drive. My family had picked me up so many times on the roads from my eyes not being able to work properly. It's also ADD to which is bad right now since i'm off meds but it makes me want to get up and clean a house so at least my aunt's house looks nice.  ;D

There isn't much challenging driving here in my part of NY either and I like it that way! As for the driving age, I think it should be based on the results of extensive testing to determine one's maturity, not a chronological age. That would take about half the drivers off the road and the rest of us could breathe a sigh of relief!

You can include me as one of those people Paul. That's why I was so happy when I found this group. We are a diverse bunch with different ways of expressing ourselves but at the end of the day we all have our appreciation for this fantastic band in common. Forums in general can be astoundingly hostile places but I haven't seen that here. I know there have been some unfortunate moments in the past and disagreements will crop up at times but I think overall this is a great place for Beatle People to come together. (Pun intended!)

Over here in The Netherlands is too hot at the moment to get overheated once more. ha2ha  I suggest we all settle down -that includes me- and let RingoFan realise what The Beatles can mean in a life. I'm sure that realisation will come.

My mum did that spectacularly a couple of years ago!  When I was unemployed, waiting to go to university, I used to go to the Job Center every Tuesday, and this one Tuesday my mum hadn't gone to work so she offered to drive me there.  I was like "sweet, I don't have to drive there myself!", got in the car, and not 2 minutes later, she got just that tiny bit too close to a parked car and WHAM!  The side mirrors of both cars came crashing off, deafening me in one ear for the rest of the day because it was on my side of the car, and making me late.  Needless to say, I drove myself to the Job Centre every Tuesday thereafter.   ha2ha

I was backing out of my garage and thought I was a little too close to the shrubs so I moved over and ended up hitting the corner of the house.

Thanks guys!  I quite enjoyed my holiday :)  Went down to my grandparents place, did some house work for them (they're 84, the outside work doesn't exactly do itself lol), my half-aunt and her family came over - finally met 2 of my half-cousins, turns out that they grew up in the same city that I live in now, we went to the same elementary school (they left it when they were in the 3rd/4th grade, I came here in the 7th, not to mention the year and 2 years age difference between us), we have been at the same parties, we all have the same favourite bar (and we have seen each other at the bar!) and we have some of the same friends!  Crazy eh?  And that was all before 2 PM!  After that, my family and my grandparents went down to my other aunt's place - she lives in a cottage, literally a block away from the beach - anyway, went there, ate a ton of food, played with my other cousins kids...  Fun, long day!

Honestly, I don't think you even have to go as far as a different country, even being in a different city - at least for me - has done the same thing!  Because of that I now know the downtown cores of two of Canada's biggest cities.  It's just a good escape, even if just for a day.

He wouldn't buy one (he's into CHEAP things...) since it's 2.97 or 3.97 something but he brought me a picture to stare at in the hospital. :P

These are in the school supplies so they'll probably be around in Walmart soon.
I live in Wisconsin. I can't figure out how to use the member map right now but as soon as I can I will be back on here (give me a couple weeks to get back here...) and will do this.

Mari, if I could I would send one to you but I'm a bit busy at the moment. Sorry.

I wish all of you the best and can't wait to see what's going on with you guys again! Thanks everyone. Talk to you soon.  :)

Yes, The Shangri-Las were from nearby Cambria Heights, NY  It was a tough neighborhood at the time and members of the group acquired tough personae.  The lead singer, Mary Weiss, is regarded as a precursor to Deborah Harry.  She's only 16 in those videos!

The studio take of Remember (Walking In The Sand) goes on for about 7 minutes.  For the record and radio broadcast, the engineers faded the song out five minutes early.  I guess The Shangri-Las invented the long single recording before The Beatles came up with Hey Jude.

The Shangri-Las also performed on the same bill as The Beatles during their 1964 US tour.

That was cute they way they worked The Beatles into that episode, even though the hair length was wrong. I enjoyed the dog; he looked a lot like our German Shepherd. We raised her for a guide dog organization but she didn't care for school so they let her come home.  ;) I can tell you, no guide dog would drag their partner out on stage like that one did!

Mmm. Impressive. Still I doubt about your vector root, but that's another thing.
The point is, Paul WAS 27 if he would be alive at the time of release of Abbey Road. Never mind about his next birthday, it's not in the clue. It's: LMW28IF, meaning Life McCartney Would 28 If (He was alive). But that's incorrect on two accounts. First, he was 27, not 28. Second: he wasn't dead. ha2ha

Mmm. Impressive. Still I doubt about your vector root, but that's another thing.
The point is, Paul WAS 27 if he would be alive at the time of release of Abbey Road. Never mind about his next birthday, it's not in the clue. It's: LMW28IF, meaning Life McCartney Would 28 If (He was alive). But that's incorrect on two accounts. First, he was 27, not 28. Second: he wasn't dead. ha2ha


Cor, I didn't finish my sentence.  But I'll finish it now.

So he was 27 when the album was released and would be 28 on his next birthday if only Yoko had been a more careful driver.

Right now, I'm doing Audio/Video Prod. But I worry about some aspects of this. I am struggling to understand some concepts for one of my classes, and once again am wondering if I'm in the right major?

I am almost 29. It's getting to be a joke that I don't have a job yet.

The Beatles and Queen have always been my two fave bands, and my dedication to Queen has been very long-standing, most of my life in fact, so I got a tattoo of their first logo that appeared on the first two LPs.  I love them so bloody much, I'm proud to display it everywhere I go!  I have been planning a Beatles tattoo for a while too, I'm just not 100% on the design, so I got the Queen one first.

And I know what you mean - I've wanted tattoos since I was fourteen, and my mum always hated my fascination with them and said she'd never let me get one, but once I reached eighteen and I didn't need consent to just go into a tattoo parlour and get one, I just did it.  I told her about a month in advance that I was getting it and showed her what it looked like, and she still didn't like it, but somehow she just let me do it, I think because she knew she couldn't stop me.  She's always been an overprotective mother and never allowed me do to many things at times, so I was so adamant about this tattoo, she seemed to just find it easier to sit back and let me do it.  Especially since at the time, I had a boyfriend who was older than me and already had a tattoo himself, I guess it seemed more and more to her that she couldn't stop me getting one.  And guess what?  The second I came home with it, she said "wow, that looks amazing, I want one!"  Honestly, parents...  :P

I find that the most thrilling part of tattoos, especially when you get up and look in the mirror when it's first done and go "wow...  I can keep that FOREVER!"  Somehow the permanence is one of the best parts, not just how good it looks on you.  I loved getting my first one done and I finally got to re-experience it two weeks ago with this one.  I guess the key with tattoos too is (in my opinion anyway) you have to be sensible in what you get - they're so addictive, I wanted another one about two weeks after I got my first one!  But I purposely denied myself to get more and just contemplated what I'd get for a few years, and it was worth it, cos I had a couple of ideas in the gap that I would have got, but probably wouldn't have loved them years down the line.  You have to wait until you're damn certain you want something.  I've wanted the Queen tattoo for over two years now, so I knew it was right to get.  You've got a while until you're legal to get one, so you've got a lot of time to think about it anyway!  :)

I hope I haven't just made a big mistake. I  fell for this app on Facebook that said it would show me who was checking my profile out but befoe I could use it i had to fill in a form and that just turned out to be for a competitions website. I put our address and phone #. My dad will got nuts if he found out. I just hope the phone doesn't start ringing. I avoided putting some details in. Problem is I asked someone to marry me the other week and she said no and now the only way she can contact me is on Facebook so I was desperate to see if she'd been checking me out on Facebook.

I'm definitely getting encouraged by my daughters' (ages 14 and 13) musical taste. Not only did my older daughter request Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" a few months ago (I shared that on this forum), but now my younger daughter always asks for the Who's "Blue Red and Grey" when we're in the car (yay!). I think they are finally starting to realize there is more to music than Britney Spears and Ke$ha.  ;)

So true, Kelley!  :)

Actually, I think my older daughter needs further Beatles education: We were listening to "Anna" in the car today, and she asked "Is this John or Paul?" The look on my younger daughter's face was priceless: She was like, "How can you POSSIBLY think this is Paul?!?" It was funny. I was actually trying not to laugh, but then I remembered that I was once a novice Beatles fan myself and had trouble telling them apart. (But, I mean, "Anna?" That one's not too hard!  ha2ha)

but then I remembered that I was once a novice Beatles fan myself and had trouble telling them apart.

I did too for years! I could tell Paul from John but George would confuse me sometimes. That seems hard to believe now. And the songs where the lead vocals are shared between John and Paul; that really baffled me at times. YouTube was a great help in my Beatles education. I have studied there extensively.  ;)

Okay, since when does Norton internet security wipe your computer?  My version had expired so I bought a new one, and it said it needed to uninstall the old one before installing the new one, so it did that and restarted, but when it booted back up, it had erased ALL of my programs from my laptop and left it as a barely functioning mess.  All my documents were still there, there were just no programs to access them with, and when I tried to reinstall the programs, it wouldn't accept them...  thank god for system restore, but even still, I now have a laptop that's barely 3 years old but functioning like it's ancient...  thanks a lot, Norton.  Bastards!

Ah, really?  I'll have to look into it.  My problem now is that I don't know if I can even keep this laptop much longer anyway - it's alright once it's been booted up a while, but when it first starts up, it malfunctions and goes mad trying to install programs that are corrupted, to no avail.  I would just bite the bullet and switch to Mac completely, because I can't deny how much better they are than PCs at most things, but I despise them!  I used a PC all my life until I went to college and was forced to use them, because it's pretty much all people use in the music industry now, and I just couldn't figure them out, and I still hate them just as much.  My boyfriend laughs at me all the time because I still have a PC laptop for my personal stuff...  maybe he's right   :-\   :P

I wouldn't know. I've seen a Mac once when I went into an electrical shop to ask about them but the staff seemed unwilling to show me how wonderful they are and I've just never come across one elsewhere. I'm happy with my Pc though. W/e else you can say about Bill Gates and M/S without him/them we might not have got as far as we have. I'm not cynical about Gates. Yes he wasn't doing it for charity but he also had to think a hell of a lot about how best to get software into peoples homes for the benefit of everybody and in that respect he's been senataionaly succesful and I'm unbelivably greateful to him for it. Then again I'm not an expert if I was maybe i'd agree with the critism he gets about the quality of MS software.

Indeed, you're right about Gates, although nowadays if you're around computers enough, you see PCs really struggling against the popularity of the Mac.  I don't like them, as after being so used to a PC's controls, I find Macs a bit un-user-friendly, but at the same time, their security is quite brilliant, as is its pechant for updating the latest versions of everything you need regularly so you're never out of date and unable to open or run anything...  and this is coming from someone who doesn't like them!  :P

I wanted to go to the last date in Liverpool, but unfortunately those tickets were scooped up by the usual bastards who buy tickets for a really coveted event and put them on Ebay for double the price the next day...  we looked, and about two whole blocks of the Echo Arena are on there for something ridiculous.  Makes me sick, especially when I myself have missed out on gigs as a kid because it's sold out to idiots trying to make money by doing this - I can't afford to pay nearly £200 to see a band I like, so people automatically can't go see their fave bands just because of idiots trying to make profit at their expense...  hate it!!  I ended up getting Manchester tickets for the day before though, so I managed to get in there after all.

Ohhhhh -- I think I've heard of that! Wouldn't that be illegal? Maybe I'm out of date -- and I'm also in the States, where the laws might be different -- but I thought it was illegal to "scalp" tickets, that is, buy them at the regular rate and them sell them to someone else at a higher rate.

It's a bit of a dodgy area; it is illegal in a certain way, but there's nothing to stop people selling tickets they've bought for themselves.  I've had to do it myself, when I've bought tickets to a gig I intended on going to, and then found myself unable to go, so I've put them on Ebay for someone else to have, although for the same price as I bought them for, so I didn't fleece someone out of their money.  It can be very hard to keep tabs on, although they have been talking here in the UK about changing the law so that you have to bring ID to the gig with you to prove that you're the original buyer of the tickets.  Therefore, if your name and credit card aren't the ones on the original purchase, you can't get in!

That reminds me, a little over year ago a cyber-friendship that I had ended due to some very harmful things I said and did in terms of privacy issues to a fellow Beatle fan on a message board and Facebook.

Why I bring this up is because the other night I was reading a children's biography book on the Fabs to my 5 year old nephew, while trying to sound like John Lennon (it was the Lennon chapter).  Anyway, doing that made me think of the friendship I ruined, because I know he'd get a kick out of that if I told him about it on Facebook.

Very nice! Even after all the goodies I've eaten over Christmas I could still go for those! I'm working on my pie baking so my son told me to pick out some things from [url]http://www.kingarthurflour.com/[/url] ([url]http://www.kingarthurflour.com/[/url]). He had ulterior motives I'm sure.  ;)


Oh, I LOVE King Arthur Flour! I'm not much of a baker, but they have some really fantastic stuff.

I have no doubt your son did indeed have ulterior motives, Kelley!  ;D

I went to their store in Norwich, Vermont a few years ago. When I was checking out the cashier told me that the author of the book I was buying was there and would I like to have her sign it. She was very nice and I just love the book. Even though I've been baking since I could read I learned a lot from it. Baking is my other passion. ;)

I got my bedsit. Hopefully I wont' fall out with the landlord and be able to stay. He told me the elect4ricty was inc. in the rent but this morning his handy man just happend to say, while I was asking him about the electric meter that 'he,(the landlord) might ask you for a bit of money'...obviously for the electric. He's explicitly told me it's free so if he does ask me for some money for the electrric bill then I'm not going to pay it and will proably get evicted. I was going to get a microwave but now I'm not 'cause I'm going to keep my electric bill to a minimum so if he does spring a nasty surprise on me he won't be able to point out 'all' the appliances I'm running. I'm guessing he's fiddlig the electric meter somehow so h e doesn't have to be a massive bill every month.

I'm right in the middle of changing schools at the moment. We're looking for a smaller school and right now we're looking at this Christian (although it's not strictly for Christians) school called Pauliskolan. It looks really good! It only has about 100 students over all which fits me perfectly. You know, I'm actually dying to start studying  ha2ha

My favorite moment was when Jack (Jimmy's brother) and I went into a room by ourselves. He wanted to share with me some unreleased music that Jimmy did throughout his all too brief career so we sat there and listened, getting lost in that incredible music. It was very emotional looking over at Jack during the songs and seeing him with his eyes closed, completely into the music and air drumming along to the drum parts that he did all those years ago with his brother. It is something I'll never forget.

One of the songs he played me absolutely blowed my mind. That was an acoustic version of Jimmy's song Too Many Miles. The musicians on that were Jimmy on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, Jack on drums, Steve Marriott of Small Faces and Humble Pie on acoustic guitar and backing vocals and Mel Collins of King Crimson on flute. Jimmy's vocal is absolutely brilliant and it was a bit funny because I didn't recognize it was him singing! Jack smiled and said "Ah. That's because nobody knew how to produce Jimmy better than me." His voice is so natural on the acoustic Too Many Miles unlike on the Wings stuff.

I'm going a bit overboard on playing Lotto this week. I opened an account to play online last weekend and 'cause it's so easy to buy tickets I've been buying them. I mean I transfered £10 to do my regular weekly tickets numbers for the Euro and the Britsih draws but then 'cause I'd transfered £10 from my bank and had £4 spare I just thought f*** it I'll get a few more and got 1 more Lucky Dip (LD) for Wed and 2 for Sat. Then yestday i jjuust thought f*** it I'll get another LD for Sat. Then this morning 'cause I'm going to my mums till Tuesday to get out of my freezking bedsh*t I thought I'd just get another LD with a spare £1 i had then when i got in the library to keeep warm till the bus comes I got an email saying News about your ticket!‏ I opend it hoping to hear I'd won enough to buy a house and sh*t but it only said I'd won £6.20 which had already been transfered into my accoutn. Guess what I'm going to do with it? I'm quite thrilled that with my first tickets bought on line whn I was playign it cool and not checking my numbers and just waiting for an email to tell me I'd won I actuall did win something and get an email. At least I don't have to mess about checking ALL those tickets for tongihts draw!!!

Every night after I get out of class and walk to the underground station, I see a homeless woman and her dog camped out outside and it’s heartbreaking. So tonight I brought them some food and a couple bottles of water. The look of appreciation and thanks on the woman’s face said it all.

It makes me so happy to know there are kindhearted people in this world.

Interesting is one thing, but when it comes to some things, I'd much rather be perceived as intelligent or beautiful. I mean, lots of people are interesting but you don't fall in love with interesting.

I strongly disagree. Falling for a woman just because she's beautiful seems pretty shallow to me. Intelligence says nothing about someone's personality. Isn't being sincerely interested in someone the most essential foundation for a healthy relationship?

I'm afraid I agree, Mairi.  I think your take on it is correct.  There's a difference in the statements "You're interesting" and "I'm interested."

You should have replied "So is Tolstoy" and watched the reaction.

I meet up with my friend Karen today. We hadn't really talked too much before meeting up today so I wasn't really sure what to expect. We met up, got coffee and walked to Abbey Road studios and then to Paul McCartney's house. I really enjoyed my time with her and throughout the day, thought wow, she is brilliant. I did feel a connection with her and enjoyed learning more about her.

When we got back to the tube station, we were saying our goodbyes and there was that moment of what should I do now when neither one of you make a move. We didn't kiss but I did hug her and ended up feeling pretty good about the way things had gone. I've been here over a month and this was the first time we met up! I don't know how she feels about it but I 'm not going to rush into anything. I'll wait a bit and see how things go from there.  Sucks that I'm only here till late April so if things did develop it'd be a bit pointless to get in a relationship. She is older than me which I didn't know! Because like I said we hadn't really talked too much but she asked me how old I was today and I said 24 and she said oh I'm older than you. Guess how old I am. She is 29 and she doesn't even look like it. I thought early-mid 20's at least.

I've always gone for girls younger or the same age as me but maybe it is time to go for an older girl?

An advise from an old codger who has had his share of heartache: don't wait. Age is of no importance when love is in the air. And there obviously is. And you're only there till late April, so don't hesitate. Call her and ask her if she would like to continue where both of you stopped while standing at the tube. Or get her in here and let her read your post. ha2ha   
Good luck.

Well I wouldn't say that love is in the air just yet but I did feel something  :) I'm going to ask if she wants to go out for coffee or something on Friday and then make plans with her for a later date since she's busy the next couple weekends.

Tell her that you think she is really special. If she feels the same way, she just might tell you that she thinks the same. Don't be afraid to express your feelings. Just make sure that you express that it is your feelings. If she doesn't express herself in return that will tell you how she feels. It takes a mature person to express their feelings. It is so "high school" to play games. It is one thing being shy and another just holding your feelings back. Just always respect the feelings of the other person.

All of the old codgers are telling you the same thing.

Well I don't want to rush into anything since we don't really know each other that well yet. We met up yesterday and had a very good time. The connection was/is there so I am going to take it slow. I'll probably tell her over coffee that I think she's brilliant.

Sorry I haven't been able to help with this! I've been out of the formal workforce for a long time, freelancing at home. My first impulse would be to say, get a full-time job in your study area, but perhaps younger forum members have a different, more recent, opinion.

That's what it used to stand for here, too, but they changed it. It's kind of neat because they address not only things like drinking and drugs but also eating disorders, etc., which makes me glad, because from what I hear there is a LOT of "I'm fat" talk among her normal-weight peers.

Okay so Paul McCartney last night at the Royal Albert Hall was absolutely incredible. After the show I spent over two hours by the backstage doors waiting for Macca to come out. While waiting I met other awesome Americans, saw Stella McCartney walk by with her kids and oh yeah, I briefly met Ronnie Wood as he came out the door. He lit and smoked his f** around all of us Americans before leaving. Also saw Wix, Abe, Rusty and Brian as they left. No Macca sadly but that's alright.

Guess what happened to me today? I fell down the damn stairs! Well, I fell "up" the stairs when I was walking up to my room with a glass of chocolate milk and some tuna sandwiches. The chocolate milk and tuna was all over the walls and just...no. Talk about a disaster. Now I have a huge bruise on my left arm  roll:)

James McCartney put on a great show at the Borderline tonight. After the show I managed to get James's autograph (the last one he signed) and a picture (also the last) with him. Also attending the gig tonight was Yoko Ono and I was three feet away from her. During the show I looked over at her and we made eye contact. She smiled at me and I smiled back. It was really something.

Last night I had the most perfect awkward moment happen.  Somebody just entered my flat, sat down and watched tv with me before realizing he was in the wrong room. It took him at least five minutes to figure it out.

That is so sweet! It really was such an awful tragedy.

Perhaps now, post–9/11 -- and, I hope, with a heightened sense of sensitivity, U.S. companies will stop trotting out those horrible inflatable kids' Titanic slides at carnivals and such. I know I sound totally humor impaired, but I see nothing funny about people getting their kicks by sliding down an inflatable "sinking" ship slide. Hundreds of people died a terrifying, horrible death, so how on earth could someone come up with this concept? I never once let my children go on one.

Whew! Rant over.  ;)

Do they have those in Europe, or is this only an American thing?

Glad you enjoyed the movie, AppleScruffy!

No, I don't think we have those here, I've never seen one. Hopefully we don't have them, anyway, it sounds incredibly tacky and insensitive. I even got a bit annoyed when these kids at the cinema started laughing when the ship sank. Sure, it's only a movie but you can atleast show some respect to all those people who died.

Personally, I would have no problem taking on someone who is willing to work hard and learn. Just about any job has a learning curve anyway, even for those with ______ and someone who is fresh and eager would be an asset, I would think.

I moved into a new bedsit in a new town in Feb and knew the rd. I walk home to it on was a red light area but hadn't been out at night much until the other week when after a day pub crawling I was walking home in the rain with my head down when I'd become aware a woman had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and was talking to me. She said 'do you want to do any buisness?' and I was pretty startled really 'cause I'd thought the whole red light area thing was kind of an urban myth. I stopped and talked to her telling her I was skint and she kept saying 'how much have you got?' so I said, eventually £2.50 but I was very drunk so I'm not sure exactly what happened but I did give her some money for some chips. I saw her again last Tues. when i bumped into her further along the main rd. the girls work while walking into town and stopped and we got chatting, I was sober btw.. I said if I'd offered to **** her for £2.50 the night I was drunk when she first approached me I was sorry and had been feeling bad about it 'cause obviously it was just cheap and sh*tty thing to do. A/w she said it was too early 'to go out' and so turned round and walked into town with me. STrange thing is she invited me to a party and said she wanted my phone number, which i just let go by without replying, as if she wanted to be or already consdiered us to be friends. I'm pretty infatuated with her now and every time i walk into town I hope to meet her.

Met with my advisor yesterday and he said that I can graduate at the end of summer without taking any summer classes. I just need to sign up for my internship class and fill out the paperwork required and boom I'm done since I already did my internship, I just need to backtrack my hours.

Dont go there.... or am I overcautious?

Well I don't really trust her. I'm only really thinking in terms of friendship now but if I'm always thinkning if she comes round to my bedsit for a coffee and something to eat will she steal from me then that spells trouble for the friendship and I am always thinking if she come rouund to my bedsit will she steal from me. I'm also thinking when I met her the time she walked into town with me before it was time for the girls to come out working the streets, it was early in the evening, and I bought her some chips and kebab meat...did she have any money on her then? If I'm thinking thoughts like that then again, it's just a bad foundation to start a friendship. I'll just have to see what happense when I bump into her again. I hardly go out at night anyway so I might hardly ever meet her.

He's also a big Beatles fan and he told me to bring all my Beatles DVD's and CD's to my sister's place (where they're staying) so we can watch them! Isn't that great??

Hey all - I need your guys' help and advice. My ex's ex was rushed to hospital with an organ failure. I know the girl and she is lovely but also her ex broke up with her 5 yrs ago and came to me and we broke up too, yet he stil tells me he loves me and we are still good friends. Is it selfish of me to care more about how he feels than for her? Also is it my place to try comfort him, even though I'm not really his? I really want to help somehow but I feel there is nothing I can do :(

Don't underestimate the power of prayer or positive thoughts; whichever you call them. They can really help. I'm mustering up big on that front right now for my friend who is starting 6 months of heavy-duty treatment for hepatitis C. It's sad to think of people suffering but we aren't really as helpless as we might feel. That speaks well of you that you care so much!

I've had to put down two of my best freinds (not counting a few cats) Lucky Bucks and Sara D. Dogg and it's never easy. A freind gave me some words that made my grief much easier to deal with and truly appreciate my time with my pets and the love they gave me.
He told me, "Your dog will give you everything it can for it's whole life no matter what and it justs asks one thing from you, one time on one day. Thats to go with dignity and love".

Chin Up,

I'm sorry to hear this, Maxine.  A pet owner assumes a great responsibility for a domesticated animal that cannot survive on its own.  Part of that responsibility is to ensure that the pet does not suffer when no other medical or surgical treatment can be offered by the veterinarian.

On a less clinical note, yes, I know it hurts.  It's like losing a family member.  In time, fond memories will replace the sadness of loss.

you get so attached to pet dogs and it really hurts when they die or get very sick, but put him out of his misery and have a good cry, as the others have said, time will heal and you'll always remember him with love and fondness.

I've realised I don't love my laptop. I thought I did but I don't. I didn't buy it by looking around and choosing it in the way I would a car. I've never owned a car and have zilch intrest in owning one, even if I had money, but I often see a make/model and love the look of it and I think that fairly often but if I go, as i do every now and again, and have a look around Curry's I never think the same way about any, even the ones I think about buying, of the laptops. So I actually admire cars that I have zilch intrest in more than laptops which I'm profoundly interested in and that says a heck of a lot about the abysmal design asthetics of Windows laptops. I think I might buy a Mac. I've got a £1,000 in savings and can get one 2nd hand from CEX.  I won't though 'cause I don't even like them. They're the complete opposite of Windows laptops. They are too stylish for me. Sort of overly designed. A/w this laptop's just about had it and i'm going to buy a new one next week I think. They only worry I have is some of the newer laptops have this function on the mousepad that makes the screen zoom as your moving the cursor. My dad's laptop's got one and I can't use it without the screen keeping on zooming in. So If I get a new laptop and the mouse pad is like that I'll be livid. Also because they don't have MS Office on them I can't test it in the shop.

Our town holds an annual fireworks display for the end of summer. Atlas Fireworks puts this on for free every August before the kids go back to school . It brings in 10's of thousands of people and is the big highlight for our town and the region.
Well, Some knucklehead called in a bomb threat today and the show has been cancelled. The FBI has been called and as of today there is no rescheduling. I hope they catch him!

I never understand why people with no people skills end up being managers.... Grrrr!
It's because they're easily controled by their managers and only have the job by their managers grace. I find also that if companies promoted the truly talented people that work for them they would lose expertise on the floor.
It's very miopic "dumb down" mentality for if they promoted talent, paid them well they would gladly share their expertise and "smarten up" anyone who will get on board. Only problem is the managers would lose their jobs.

Erm...

2 counts of exposure.

I'm guilty and a naughty boy.

I didn't jump out at anyone or chase anyone or touch anyone, I'm not dangerous just a lonely frustrated boy who became a bit daft after a bit of intoxication.

I'm very sorry and I hope I haven't devastated anyone or destroyed anyones lives.

So it'll be up to 300 hours of community service, a 2 week sex offenders programme and I'll have to sign on the sex offenders register for some time. I'm a sex offender who's never had sex.

It's a strange world.

But I'm in the wrong so I'll face the concequences of my actions.

It's been in all the local newspapers so everyone who's everyone knows about it. I guess it just adds to the mythos and many differing and conflicting opinions that ex-friends have of me.

Oh well.

She grudgingly consented to eating the treat, off the floor, then hissed at me and brandished her claws. I am not the only one she acts this way toward but cats usually like me.

I understand just how you feel Ovi! Math was terrible for me when I was in school. I think most people who feel they aren't good at math just haven't been taught in a way that matches their learning style. I finally taught myself algebra the summer before I started college. The program I was going to take had so many credits that they wanted us to test out of the math requirement. I failed the first time but I bought the course book and finally figured out how I learn math best. I didn't become a math person but I passed the test and was later able to teach my son math when we homeschooled. He was like me but now has a job where he uses math everyday. So hang in there!

So far yes! Last thursday we went on a Vermont winery and Cheese tour for a day. We had a great time with lots of laughs. Got to pet some very freindly goats at a place called Fat Toad Farm. They're goat cheese and goat cheese CARAMEL are featured at Williams and Sonoma and lots of other places. Did wine tasting at a couple of wineries and after a couple hours of that everything was funny!
I came downstairs on Saturday and noticed a horrible smell in the kitchen. I figured a mouse died under the fridge or something. Soo... I took apart the front of the fridge (as it's a built in and you can't move it) went under it with flashlights, wet vacs trying to suck his little carcass out through the front to no avail! : (  Later I was making lunch and opened a tupperware and WHOA!!! it was the goat cheese!! Almost knocked me over. I told her she needed to bring that stuff out to the back field and bury it deep! I have no such trouble with the wine.

Arrrgh; Dcazz, stop! Fall foliage, woodstoves.....I am getting increasingly disenchanted with my current locale. I LOVE woodstoves.

Just joking, of course. I hope you and your wife are having a very pleasant autumn!  :)
Here are a few photo's from Fat Toad Farm and a winery!

So far yes! Last thursday we went on a Vermont winery and Cheese tour for a day. We had a great time with lots of laughs. Got to pet some very freindly goats at a place called Fat Toad Farm. They're goat cheese and goat cheese CARAMEL are featured at Williams and Sonoma and lots of other places. Did wine tasting at a couple of wineries and after a couple hours of that everything was funny!

Well....semi-permanently, I guess. I'll be here at least 'til the kids go to college, which in my son's case won't be for 8 years.

It does get really cold up here! A couple of winters ago the wind chill was 40 below. If you threw a cup of warm water into the air the droplets would freeze before they hit the ground. The kids and I had fun trying it. (Well, I tried it once and then went back inside to the warmth, LOL.)

Thanks Kathy and Kevin. Here in my part of New York state it essentially missed us. It rained hard and the wind made this weird kind of low roar all night but no damage for us. New York City, Long Island and New Jersey were the hardest hit. It's going to be a long road ahead for those folks to recover.

That's awful. People around here still talk about 1972, when a hurricane similar to this one stalled out and it rained for days. People lived in trailers for months while their houses were being repaired. When we remodeled this house we could see how high the water had been back then.

I think from Boston north and west we dodged the bullet. Some beach erosion, powerlines and local flooding. While this is certainly a big deal for those affected I think NYC and NJ and the coast of Conn. and RI got it the worst. It will definatly be a while before everythings fixed. It's hard to imagine 50 homes going up in flames in Brooklyn.

I agree. I decided one night that it would be really nice to have other Beatle people to talk to since I'm kind of alone in my obsession. I found a forum and posted an introduction. The next day I saw that someone made an unkind comment about it! That and the fact that they were very mean to someone and banned him for no good reason made me continue my search. When I found this one I noticed that the banned person posted here too and people were nice to him. So I joined. I've met some great people here and I hope more guests will move in!

The track of the storm went right through his area based on the map on the forum. It's probable that the issue is the power grid. NY and NJ still have a lot of outages and this snow storm won't help. If any moderators have a cell phone number maybe they could try it. I don't know if they're that close or not.

Hi Cor, Kev, Todd, Kelley and Dave,

Thank you all for your concern.  Yeah, Hurricane Sandy blew hard, but caused no damage to my office and home.  The power was out until last night and I had an OR case yesterday.  I spent ten days in the Catskill Montains in New York waiting for power to come back on.  It was an unexpected but welcome vacation.

Office hours once again later this morning.  It's nice being back home.

Actually, he's going to release a new one, called 'Heartland' (built around a song with the same name, which, funnily enough, dates back in the 90's) in 2013. But no, I don't really know why he hasn't done anything since 1992. You know Roger though, always trying to make his concepts as elaborate as possible. He's not the kind of guy who'll write 12 pop songs and then quickly record and release them. He probably waits until he really has something important (or which he considers so) to say, especially lyrics-wise. Me, I'm just glad that that time has come.

It's a hard thing. I went through it many years ago and thought I was going to die...but I didn't and my life is good and my kids are good(one withe a 4.0 average in college and the other 3.9). I have a new wonderful wife and much to be thankful for. It takes time and more time. Remember the old clique? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I believe it's true. Tonight or tomorow take a look around you and count your blessings and go from there. I bet you find a lot. I found when it gets bigger than me ,I pray.

Yes, I am; thanks, and thank you all again for the nice comments.  :)

What set me off the other day was that I got the final divorce papers from my attorney, with a cover letter that said something to the effect of "the enclosed documents will help you prove to the world that you are divorced." Huh. Like I'm proud of being dumped after 18 years (and sacrificing my career for my ex's, but anyhoo...).

I'm still not sure if that phrasing is some weird legal jargon or just gross insensitivity on the part of my attorney (or whoever authored the letter). I kind of lost it for a bit there.

But, better today, and taking it one day at a time! The soundtrack to AHDN brings back poignant memories but I am determined to not avoid it. Those songs are too great to avoid.

I wasn't joking. My neighbor who is retired, works part time doing it and he loves it.  He bags and then takes the cart out to the customer's car and loads the bags in the car and brings the cart back. He sees a lot of people that he knows and he always has a smile on his face. 

I think I would enjoy that for maybe 20 hours or so a week.

The spirit of Christmas is with us. And all around the world people will be celebrating something that is very precious – giving. A season of goodwill to all people. But there are other things that matter at Christmas. Things that matter all year round: peace, joy and love. Also – compassion and understanding. Because when people look into their hearts, they see that the spirit of Christmas is something that is true always.
 
If we can give at Christmas to our loved ones, we can give to others at Christmas who need our love and help – the homeless, the needy and even people who are hungry and starving in the world. There are many ways in which we can easily give to those people, by not just walking past the homeless but actually stopping and giving – a little bit of our money, a brief conversation with them, and our hand on their shoulder as we wish them good luck in finding a home.
 
Farther away in the world, there are people who suffer far worse than the homeless. They are the starving and hungry people of the world. If they know about Christmas, they are not thinking about it. Because they have a pain that is difficult for us to imagine. The pain of hunger. And starvation. If we could all imagine the pain of starvation, then we would all want to do something about that pain. But we can imagine. All of us in the developed world, and many in the developing world, sometimes feel a temporary hunger until our next meal. But imagine that feeling of hunger very much stronger than that; that is the pain which the starving and hungry feel always, or almost always. If we felt that pain, we would want someone to do something about it to help us. If they were nearby and could help, they wouldn’t be able to say ‘I’m sorry, but I cannot help you.’ They would help us, because morally they would have to help us. You would expect that help from the nearby person, and soon. You would have a right to expect it. In reverse, they would have a right to expect the same from us and we would have a duty to help that nearby person.
 
All fine and well, I am sure you agree. They are nearby, and you would help them avoid the pain of hunger. A pain which probably we can all imagine who have not experienced it. But the people in the world who are experiencing the pain of hunger and starvation are not really far away at all. They are nearby. How are they nearby? They are nearby because we can give them our help. In a world which is increasingly both smaller and richer, there are many organised charities that we can support to feed the starving and hungry. Now that the spirit of Christmas is with us, the spirit of giving is with us too. So, why can’t we give beyond our families and friends to people who are both near and far away? The homeless are near so many of us in our cities and towns, but the ‘far away’ starving and hungry people are really not so far away at all. Our charity can reach them, our giving can reach them.
 
What is only a small part of our financial income for the comfortable and fed among us in the developing world is a great fortune to the hungry and starving in the world. A little of our money for them is a vast amount of wealth for them – a precious gift of wealth. That is, the precious gift of avoiding the pain of hunger. And still very, very much more – the precious continued gift of life. Because millions of people in the world die of starvation every year. They die of starvation in a world of plenty. And that is wrong. I’m sure you will all agree.
 
 
Therefore, why not this Christmas give additional presents? Not just to our loved ones, but also people in the world who need something that our loved ones already have. Since the spirit of Christmas is about love, let us extend that spirit of love around the world to our fellow human beings. Peace on Earth is a well-known expression at Christmas time. The peace on earth we can value at Christmas we can also value all-year round. Soon after Christmas comes the New Year. At that time, people all over the world are hoping and praying for a better future. A better world. And we can extend the spirit of Christmas and hope of the New Year into the future. And make the world a better place for all of us in the world.
 
When we give from our hearts, we affirm something in our hearts. We affirm our humanity. We affirm humanity for ourselves and the people we help. That gift of giving is something that we all have. Within us. So this Christmas I would like to say to all of you – please give to the suffering people of society and the world from your hearts. Let us all affirm our common shared humanity within us. And let us all reach out to the people of the world with a message of goodwill. And peace on earth to all people!
 
 

Peace on Earth!

Indeed! I'm irked cause I just got in a text-message spat with my ex and sent him one that said "Shut the f--- up" and it auto-corrected to "Shut the f--- update."   ha2ha
I'm sure he got a big supercilious laugh out of that.


I finally figured out how to turn off the auto-correct options, thanks to youtube.

The darn thing froze up and it took me a few hours to figure out how to un-freeze it. Then it wouldn't let me make a long-distance call, even though I'd made them before and long-distance is definitely included in my service plan.

Everything is resolved now, but thanks for the offer of help, Kelley.

Just a few weeks ago my girlfriend and I started talking about cohabitation and this Friday we're already getting the keys to our new house. So that went pretty quickly. It's going to be quite a change because currently I'm still living alone in the small village that I lived in for my whole life, but within a couple of weeks we'll be living together in Eindhoven, which is a big city by Dutch standards. Looking forward to it, though.

Just found out that one of my relatives, Mary Ann Meysenburg was the American Consulate in Paris, France at the time of Jim Morrison's death, signed his death certificate! Apparently she didn't even know who Jim was and just happened to be the one on duty that night. Somebody tried to swap with her because they wanted their name on Jim's death certificate but she stood her ground!

I'm confused. Tinypic is owned by Photobucket but in their help section it sounds like you can register for an account with them. When I try though I am taken to my Photobucket page. Perhaps I have to delete that account first. This all started when Photobucket rolled out their new and improved site. Boo to that.

It must have been Work on Your Driveway Weekend. My son's buddy came with a backhoe and dug up part of the yard so we can extend the parking area. With both kids living at home again it looks like a used car lot here. My son has a work truck, a pickup truck for bad weather and longer trips and his new toy, a 1969 Chevy pickup. That one resides in the garage. LOL

Help! - such a brilliant movie!!!!

I need your advice dear Beatles people - I am currently living with my sis but we are never home together most of the time as she works late and I have a big social life. When I was a student, I moved out of my parents' house and lived alone for about six months but then went back to the parents' because I couldnt pay the rent etc. And yes, I would get lonely (but I think this is more because I didnt have a job so would be there for almost all time of the day.)

The time has come to move out (because where we live now is gloomy and dark and depressing and cold)... my question is: should I continue living with the sis, live with a friend or live alone?

Is your sister still coming home from work at all hours and all colors?   ;)

KE, you and your sis are best mates.  You have to be, running around talking Beatles movie script lines and lyrics all the time!  ;D   You're both working now and I think you two should find a nice two bedroom apartment.  In this way you'll have both companionship and a special form of sisterly privacy and independence.

In a way that makes it easier, I guess. You can tell the first one that he'll just have to accept you the way you are, and you can tell the second that it can only work if he's willing to commit. Their responses should tell you if they love you enough or not.

Omigosh, their dad and I do stuff like that all the time!  ha2ha  I will have to tell my girls that they are not the only teenagers getting lovingly embarrassed by their parents.

I've been jokingly teasing them that one day while I'm waiting in the car to pick them up from summer classes, I'm going to blast some goofy music with the windows down and ask all the students streaming out of the building if they know them. You should see the looks on their faces -- pure horror! Ha ha.

Embaressing your teenagers can become an art form!!! You have to do it before they get their liscences and a car because at that point your out of the picture. It's good to add in private conversation when they complain that the more they pitch in with laundry, yard work, roomcleaning and cooperating in general in an adult manner the more you will treat them like an adult! In all good humor of course! If you can find Disney CD's like Snow White to play out the window that just kills em'. A bright red Pippy Longstocking wig does the trick too!!! Not that I did that  roll:)

That is just wonderful Dave! I don't know if mine would ever do that but I am just happy that they both got through their teen years without giving us any trouble that really mattered. My son is very even tempered so he was pretty easy to get along with. His sister is the strong-willed one with lots of big ideas but when she makes me frustrated I just remind myself that she saved a life a few years ago and that calms me down!

That would be a good choice! My son and I were actually discussing this song the other day. He heard it on the Seneca Nation of Indian's radio station, which plays quite an eclectic mix. You might hear the Beatles one minute then Tiffany. I've got another idea for you; one that used to make my daughter cover her ears and run out of the room. It didn't help that the pastor at church camp played it over the PA system every morning at 7:00.

Now I know for a fact that the Petticoat Junction girls didn't eat that stuff, just their cousin Ellie Mae. But if I thought I could look like any one of them from eating that way I might consider it!

That sounds scary! We get earthquakes around here but they are usually very fleeting. I always think I'm having a dizzy spell but then I notice something moving slightly, then it's over. Having them for days on end sounds awful. I hope it's over soon.

They were introduced into Vermont in the 50's to cut down the porcupine population. Now we know what happens when there are fewer Porcupine's! They expand their territory and go after bunnies, kitties, anything that moves! Fishers are one of 2 predators that can kill a porcupine!

I found a distant relative from the Deerfield, MA area whose last name was Moon! It might be a common name as most of those settlers were English.

Maybe we are related to each other and we're both related to Moonie!

The relative I met online is named Barbara Moon Baptista from California. One of her grandmothers married my 8th great grandfather and somewhere down the line her ancestor married a Moon. Distant relation at best. I think they were from a little town called Wendell, mass. just east of Deerfield.
This history is off the top of my head and could be short on the details but I think it's basically right. I find it fascinating.
If you can get close to that town in your search I can get you in touch with her through FB.

Yikes, that is expensive! I'd probably just get a new one, too.

It's 30 minutes past the four-hour delivery window, and still no sign of the delivery van. Called almost 45 minutes ago and was told the driver would call and update me. Grrrrr.  I'm outta here.  >:(

I feel your pain Kathy! My dryer died a few years back on Easter Sunday. I threw a huge load of socks and underwear in it and when my daughter was packing up to go back to school later that day we discovered that it no longer heated. I ended up using the dryer in her dorm. I was lucky she let me; for some reason having your mom walk into your dorm carrying a large basket of wet underwear is embarrassing. Go figure!

I would let you in for free. We were part of a Christmas Tour in our town and the family of the last long time owner were in tears at the restored condition it was in! One of them was at the yard sale. I am so blessed to be here. I love it!

Thanks, it is a very cozy place. I tend to park myself in front of the woodstove in the winter! I just stacked my 5th cord of wood this am so I'm set! A Motrin and a couple of Advil will complete the deal! Lol! I have more pictures but I have to get them to my wall (I thought there were more).
If you look above the stove on the beehive oven you'll see a Charleville musket that I believe was carried by my 5th great grandfather. He was a  member of Marblehead's Gen. John Glovers Regiment. he was an oarsman on Gen. Washington's boat when he crossed the Delaware River at Trenton, NJ.

Well, Kev, after two days with 8 all I can say is that it was kind of an ill-convinced venture! Microsoft should have just released two versions; one for people who want to touch their computer screens and one for the rest of us. The "Metro" view looks like a smartphone with its apps but there is also a desktop view. Running the Metro screen with a mouse feels clunky. I rarely venture there except when I have to. The thing I hated the most at first was the lack of a start menu on the desktop. I use that list on the right side of the start menu a lot so I finally made my own by creating desktop shortcuts for all the places on the list and stacking them up in order where the menu would be. That would be my best advice if you want to try and replicate the look of 7. Having said all that, it really isn't that hard to learn. Whenever I get stuck I just Google. Most everything is still lurking in the system somewhere, you just have to figure out where it is as you go.

Me too! I think it's a 1768 Charleville (French)  musket. After his enlistment was up he became a Privateer and was later captured by the British in a sea battle and spent 2 years in Dartmoor Prison. He was released early because he was witnessed giving medical assistance to both British and American wounded.

You guys won't believe what I found the other night. A newspaper in Springfield Missouri had an article on their website about a man's military service. He was on the crew of a B-24 that my dad piloted! He mentioned Daddy by name, which was how I found it. I sent the author my contact info and she called him and got voicemail but will pass it on to him when he calls back. He's 93 years old and very sharp. I hope he calls me.

Wow, B-24 was a great plane. Took a lot of stamina to fly one though.
I worked with a guy that flew one, Steve Mayciak(?) in the 90's and boy did he have some stories. He flew on the first Ploesti raid and survived and later in Europe flew in actor Jimmy Stewarts outfit.

A $383 auto repair bill, UGH.

Oh, boy! I volunteer, along with other parents, serving lunch one day a week at my son's school. Turns out two of us -- me and another mom -- couldn't make it last week,
so we got chatting about that yesterday.

Me: Sorry, had to get my car to the shop ASAP for repairs.

Her: I was at the Vatican.

Talk about disparity, LOL. I'd make that trade in a second.   ;D

 ha2ha  It's kind of (sort of) fun, actually, although I've turned into one of those surly workers who just dumps a ladle of peas (or whatever) on the kids' trays. The little ones never answer when you
ask if they want a particular item -- just give a blank stare -- so I just plunk it down regardless. Also, now that my son is in sixth grade and is entering the I'm-humiliated-by-my-parents stage (so much
fun), I get a kick out of mock-threatening to embarrass him. I'm usually an "obedient" mom and skulk out without approaching him and his buddies, though.

That's what I was thinking all day yesterday! We are in the process of applying for a $26,000 grant to digitize our newspaper microfilm and put it online. My boss is an older gentleman and he hates using the computer so I was summoned about every 15 minutes on Thursday and Friday with cries for help. On Thursday one of the computers got a virus from the Internet and I had to format it. All this while trying to get the newsletter done. My Windows 8 computer was acting very snotty towards my Windows 7 templates so I had to start from scratch. Yeah, I'm glad it's the weekend!

Hehe! It is Labour Weekend for us :)

Enjoy KE! Every weekend is a long weekend for me because I don't work Mondays.  :)

That's a nice way to start the day. I used to have some good conversations with patrons at the other library who were checking out music books. I don't have as much interaction with the patrons at this job and I miss that. I mostly talk to them when they are having computer problems. They aren't as happy then as people who are talking about music! LOL

Ugh! That's the worst. I used to get that every single year that I taught little kids. Then my daughter brought it home to me two winters ago when she worked at a daycare. I've never seen her so sick. Now I'm just around the little kids from the Baptist school who come over to the library twice a week. Last winter I wore a mask and gloves every time they came. Nah...just kidding but it's tempting! Hope it misses your kiddos.

Kathy, this cousin I discovered was really something else. She and some of her brothers went to San Francisco from Vermont sometime between 1850 and 1860. There she married the love of her life and promptly lost him to the Civil War while carrying their child. Her second marriage was, from an account I read about her, a marriage of "necessity". That also ended in widowhood. She had been a teacher but after her second marriage she became a strong advocate for the rights of women to own land and went to school and became a lawyer, graduating at age 59! She even found a third husband who was quoted as saying," My wife doeth as she pleases". LOL He was a newspaper man and she had a weekly column in his paper. I am so inspired by her and finding her at the stage of life I'm in has been wonderful.

The surprising sequel will even be bringing back a few of the original cast members -- most notably Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu in the original -- who will now appear as an angel who shows George Bailey's grandson (also named George Bailey) how much better off the world would have been had he never been born.

Oh my! Did your feet hurt as they warmed up? If I don't wear two pairs of gloves when I shovel and my hands get too cold it's incredibly painful when I get inside.

You should see what goes on at Weight Watchers meetings Dave! There's a line at the bathroom door before there's a line to weigh in and shoes and jewelry come off. Some of the girls even wore the exact same clothes each time. If they could have I swear some of them would have weighed in naked!

Two people asked me to help them move this fall. The first one I brought my sledgehammer with me. The second I brought my sledge and my Milwaukee Hole Saw  and used them.

I cannot even begin to express in words how much I absolutely loathe and detest moving. With my ex-husband's job taking us to four different states, and in each state having to move into a hotel, then into an apartment, and then into a house -- and then the final insult, having to move into an apartment after the divorce -- I  can think of few things that I dread that much. I seriously think I would rather go through all three childbirths again (and we're talking 20+ hours of labor for each) than move. That's how much I hate it.

KE, I hope your move goes (or went, by the time you read this, I guess) as smoothly as possible.   :)

No, walking is good for that. Especially up 30 steps! When I was in college, back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, my dorm was at the top of a hill. I had to go up 70 steps several times a day. It was the only time in my life I could eat whatever I wanted and not worry about it!

The little guy conveniently landed on top of the window trim so I got him in a towel and let him go outside.

That's kind of how I ended up with all this time. I'll be doing it at Christmas too. Even though I only work three days a week I still get vacation days to add to our usual holiday closings. I had it all planned out and then my boss decided that since we're normally closed on Wednesdays we needed to be closed on the days after Christmas and New Year's too. I love my job....and my boss!

What a night we had last night. My aunt and uncle recently moved from their home of over 40 years to be closer to their daughter. He's 86 and decided yesterday while my aunt was out with my cousin to take off in their van, just around dark. No one knew where he was until the state police found him broken down along a busy Interstate at 2:00 am. He was trying to go back to what he considered home, which was a good three hour drive. He hasn't been in doing well for the last year and this is definitely going to call for even more changes in his life I'm afraid.  :'(

They're really quite nice! I like them a lot. Between the bats, Chimney Swifts and a usual steady breeze off the mountain I'm only occasionally bothered with a mosquito! I maintain as a life hobby (for lack of a better term) this property as a wildlife refuge and provide food, water and shelter for the critters that live here. Even the bats get taken care of. Occasionally they have to adjust they're location and I also check them for white nose disease when I catch one . It's quite funny really to see the wife going through her total panic when one makes it's way out of the attic!

No?! If you sit out at dusk and later you can see them swoop past eating bugs and stuff! Most of the fear of bats is all stuff! They are a bit creepy though. They do have these jerky movements when they walk and bring strange, dark things to your imagination but they're really gentle little guys. If we didn't have them we would be consumed by the bugs!
Here in the Northeast most of the bats migrate to Vermont where they hibernate in the cave system. There is a disease called "white nose disease" that looks like a white fungus on there noses and is fatal. Because they all hibernate to the same caves it is spreading fast and killing off large numbers of bats. I just keep my eye out when I catch one to make sure. No fungus here yet!

I wonder if that's what is happening here. We've been in this house since 1986 and at first there were just tons of bats. I learned not to be out at dusk! Now I hardly see any. I've often wondered if it has anything to do with the aerial mosquito spraying that's been done.

It's like you read my mind, Kelley; I've been feeling the same way. Work has been hellacious, and I've been racing around from task to task. I still have shopping to do; ugh. I keep trying to remember that the holidays should NOT be this stressful.

Actually! If you think about it ...  In those days when a census was called you had to go back to the town of your birth to register. Joseph had to take Mary about 80 miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem on the back of a donkey at 8+ months pregnant! Then when she got there, there was no room to stay in because everyone that was born there had travelled there! The best they could do was a stable to have their baby Jesus in!
I think that's one of the reasons the Christmas holiday is stressful. It's a spiritual thing that comes along for the ride!

I think it's time for Christians to ignore the concept of Christmas being "over" on December 26th. Advent may be a hectic time but that period between Christmas Day and the Feast of the Epiphany could really be a great time to focus on Christ's birth without the distractions. That's what I plan to do this year. And who knows, maybe some year soon I will pull it all together and have a peaceful Advent too!

Dave, your comments make me think a book by one of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Berg. The Handmaiden and the Carpenter tells Mary and Joseph's story in a way that makes it easy to relate to. I think I'll see if we have it at our library. It's definitely worth reading again.

My hometown, Marblehead collects all the Christmas trees and makes a huge pile on  Back beach and has a bonfire on the day of epiphany! The place is packed for this one. A fitting end to the Christmas season!

That's a really good point, Kelley. My kids and I heard a great homily on that topic right at the beginning of Advent. We always leave our tree up until the Epiphany, but I had never really given serious thought to focusing on the time between Christmas Day and the Epiphany as anything other than heaving a huge sigh and being glad all the madness is over. (Well, actually, I hit that point on Christmas Eve, but basically, I need to stop getting so stressed out during Advent and focus on what is truly important -- although it would help if I were better organized.,)

This is my most disorganized Christmas ever -- I haven't even finished my shopping yet; UGH. I can't do any until I finish work today; I'm so far behind. And I want to make everything nice for the kids, who are still hurting.

I'm sure that feels like a tremendous burden at times but I think I know you well enough to say that you are making things nice for your kids. You give them what really matters; your love and concern. Someday when they are grown they will remember that you were there for them and that's what is important. Christmas is wonderful but sometimes we work so hard to make it perfect that we sabotage our own efforts! When my kids were younger I always had this feeling that I had to do everything right to make up for the awful Christmas we had when my kids were 8 and 9 years old, right after my sister passed away. I finally figured out that what they needed most was for me to stop trying so hard. So don't be hard on yourself!

These are some of the lessons in life that have to be learned, Lana.  Unfortunately, sensitive people are hurt in the process of learning.  But you'll be a stronger person as a result and more keenly aware and enlightened .  You'll understand yourself, and others, much better.

I'm sorry you feel bad right now Lana. I know it's a tough thing to go through but I think that even good people can be insensitive at times. Or sometimes it's difficult for them to say how they are really feeling. I've been through it too Lana and I know it can really hurt.

I think HG is right! You go through these things when your hurt and you can either look at what that person is saying and make positive changes or if it doesn't apply become stronger and have stronger sense of who you are! If someone hurts you for their own gratification it's their problem not yours. It still hurts though!

I can imagine how much Greta hates the groomer. My ex and I had an American Eskimo ("Blizzard Bear") back when we first got married, and I have to give my ex credit: He did all of the brushing and grooming. Of course, American Eskimos are small, so it wasn't too bad.

My 2013 in a nutshell: Starting cohabitating with the greatest and sweetest woman there is. Left my place of birth and moved to the city. Been unemployed for quite a while, but finally found a great job with really cool colleagues. Released two books. Travelled through former Yugoslavia with the car and a tent for two weeks and spend a few days in Morocco. Went to some nice concerts and a whole lot of football matches. And I'll become an uncle again in a month or so. Needles to say it's been yet another great year.

I saw that on the news yesterday. I always thought it was so neat that her last name was Rhett. I sure do love that movie. My friends and I all read the book the summer between 7th and 8th grade and were dying to see the movie. We though we never would, in those pre-VCR days, but then that February it came on TV for the first time. It was a two night affair and we were glued to our TVs!

I always thought it was funny that her last name was Rhett, too. I read the book in 6th grade and grew up watching the movie on the big screen each summer in my hometown. It's such a great movie to watch with an appreciative audience, who laughs at the funny parts, boo Ashley and cheer Rhett, etc.

Next year is the 75th anniversary of the film, so I have my fingers crossed that the local theater will run it.

Before we went in the theater my daughter said, "You're not going to cry are you?" I had read the book so I couldn't make any promises. It's a good thing because I was sobbing by the end. I don't think it mattered though because I'm sure that if anyone was looking at us it was because we had our German Shepherd with us. She was in training for guide dog school then.

Right.  When I was an intern, one of my chief residents was from Melbourne.  He called me Bazza when we first met.  "You know in Australia you would be Bazza," he said.  "Baz for short."  He always called me either Bazza or Baz.

A few years ago, I was at a crowded national society meeting.  Suddenly I hear "Hey Bazza!"  I knew who it was immediately and turned around and saw my old "mate."  He was the best chief reident ever and I tried to be like him when I was chief.  We're still good friends today though he's in practice in Florida.

No one called me Bazza again until Kevin came to this Forum.  It's fun to be called that again, and by one I consider a "mate" too!

Sad news indeed.  He did a great job acting the role of the professor in Gilligans Island, enduring endless frustration coming up with ideas for getting everyone off the island which didn't work out.  He played the straight man with a touch of comic relief; not an easy thing to do.  But with all the resources on on that island, they all overlooked the easiest solution to their plight.  All they had to do was fix those couple of holes in the SS Minnow's hull...

So are you, Roo.

I learned Waltzing Matilda when I was in second grade.  Our music teacher taught us the meanings of all the Australian words, but didn't explain the waltzing Matilda part.  So I had trouble relating the image of a formal dance to what the swagman was doing.  It wasn't until I was in my high school folk music club that I learned what "waltzing Matilda" meant.

It's a beautiful song, and as I posted before, could easily be Australia's national anthem...

Thanks so much, Kelley! Luckily all went smoothly and I am back to my usual routine. I asked my doctor -- jokingly -- if he could give me a written excuse to get out of all housework, cooking, laundry, etc., for about 2 weeks but he joked back that that would require more surgery.  ;D  Oh well!

OK, that attachment came out tiny and sideways, so here's the text:

They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.

My son is doing another Zero Hero campout with his Boy Scout troop -- apparently on the one he did last October, the temps did not technically get to zero or below, so they are trying again. He's already got the sniffles, so I'm worried, and my ex-husband, who is accompanying him, just texted that my son "just finished setting up his cardboard box." I was like, "A box??" Apparently they are warmer than tents, and it's supposed to be windy tonight. The boxes are covered with snow and tarps.

I am trying to put visions of my little baby shivering uncontrollably in a box all by himself, or getting dragged off by a wild beast, or....something.

I sent my ex a series of increasingly hysterical-sounding texts. I think he's about to shut his phone off, LOL. But really, wouldn't you think he'd know that piece of information would have gone over better tomorrow, after the campout?    ha2ha

That's a good question! Each time, the campout was tied to another activity (last fall, a 10-mile hike; this past weekend, ice fishing), so maybe that's it.

My middle boy has been going off on long school trips since he was seven. It's such a wrench at first. And a worry knowing they're so far from you.  But it's gratifying when they have a good time doing it and you realise they can operate perfectly well without you around (even if a little melancholy making)

At my daughters' high school the police come by each fall and set up a little go-kart course and the kids try to navigate the course while texting, to show them how difficult it is. It's a good idea, but not terribly effective because the kids end up having a blast.

When I was a teen we never saw a movie, but a completely wrecked vehicle would always make the rounds and sit on the grounds of the front of the local skills to visually communicate the devastation drinking and driving could cause.

I remember seeing one I think called Signal 31 when I did drivers ed in high school in the US. I believe Signal 31 is a fatal car crash in the US. It was suitably gross.

There was anothe called Under ride. Where cars would run into the back of trucks and sort of keep going. Decapitation special. Lots of people hearing the news today oh boy.

They never took that approach to driver education in Oz.

Yes Kathy, that's my back yard. The tree line going back on the left is an old cow walk that goes down to the river across the road below when this used to be a working farm. A lot of wildlife use this for shelter as it's rather overgrown and it's safe. I'm fencing in my garden in the field that you can see in the back past my little land bridge I built a few years ago. As soon as the ground gives up the frost I'm going to be out there!

Geez Dave. Looks like your feeding them well.
Just a good scoop of wildlife feed in the am. It keeps them away from my arborvitaes and holly's! They're very hungry this year with the hard winter. They've been around us for about 8 years and I've gotten to know them. There are a couple of them I see regularly around 10pm after work so I stop with the window down and talk to them. they stay and listen for a minute before they move on.

I tried the wildlife feed routine.  The deer still eat my holly. 

I saw a whole flock of wild turkeys in my yard this morning.  Last night, I saw a skunk wandering around my yard.  I've got deer, foxes, 'possums, skunks, groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, racoons, garter snakes, robins, crows, turkeys, cardinals, mourning doves...all sorts of critters hanging around my yard.

There's an owl in one of my trees that hoots all night long...

It's a regular wild kingdom up there! Even though we live in town we get a lot of deer in the back yard. They don't seem the least
bit afraid of us or the dogs. I think they like the apples I put out for them. I don't mind them but I hope I never encounter one of those howling coyotes I sometimes hear at night.

I should add I put up a chicken wire/grade stake fence around the arborvitae's and spray everything with deer off. I use the feed as the path of least resistance. They still get some of our tree's but we are also a wildlife habitat so I try to walk the walk and protect my trees as well.

Good idea. Wild animals in the house is never pleasant. I opened the door to go down in the basement one day and there was a starling perched on the wire rack that hangs on the back of the door. I screamed and slammed the door, which sent him back down. He had to be escorted out in a fishing net and unfortunately this wasn't the last time it happened. They came in through the gas stove that we only use occasionally so now there's a cap over the vent when it's not in use. The dumb bunnies we have around here are another story!

Ewww...we just pulled a tick off our little Boston Terrier! This is the first time in 27 years of having dogs that this has happened. She hasn't been anywhere but our dead yard so it's very strange. She has been acting unwell today and we thought she was sick with an ear infection. Hopefully this was her problem. At her age (12) I worry a lot about her health.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: KelMar on April 13, 2014, 08:04:25 PM
Did your Boston hold still long enough t get it off?!

Yes, it wasn't too difficult getting it off and it wasn't full yet. However, that strange incident was just an aside in a rather difficult day and night. She was having some scary neuro symptoms including a small seizure along with some bleeding from her ear. We had another Boston who had similar symptoms due to multiple tumors and that's how we lost her. Rosie was acting better this morning though and her bloodwork and vet exam does point to infection in both ears. But this was her third seizure in a year so something else could also be going on. But for now she's pretty lively but deaf. Hopefully her eardrums will heal up and she'll get the hearing back.

I hope so! It's tough to see your pets suffer. Our Popcorn chicken is getting over a case of "bumble foot', a staff infection. Probably from staying in the coop too much in this hard winter. It doesn't seem to bother her but were exhausted from changing bandages and giving her antibiotics! Most people would just chop off their heads but... it's our Popcorn.

Popcorn is a very lucky chicken to have you and Nancy taking such good care of her! Our little patient had another seizure this morning. One more this month and we'll have to put her on medication. We're arranging things so someone can be with her all the time, until Sunday but I know we can't keep this up forever.  :(

Aw, Dave and Kelley, it's nice that you are so kind to your animals. We don't have any pets right now, but I can identify with your devotion (as I'm sure many people can). We've had dogs, turtles, betta fish, and hamsters. I think the worst was right before the kids and I have to move from the house to an apartment because of the divorce. My son's hamster, only 10 months old, got a tumor in his cheek pouch, we think; I feel horrible, and always will, because I was so distracted I didn't notice until it was too late. The incredible veterinarian we took him to painstakingly made up a dozen teeny-tiny doses of antibiotics, and for about a week my ex and I hand-fed him the  medicine and human baby food, because the poor little guy couldn't chew. It was too late, though; he got a little better but was steadily losing weight. We finally had to put him out of his misery. My son cried himself to sleep for weeks. The timing could not have been worse. The vet was so incredible, even sending us a little sympathy card with Sparky's paw-prints on it.

Anyway, it is gratifying to read how kindly you treat your pets.

P.S. "Bumble foot" sounds like something I myself could be diagnosed with  ;)

Thanks Kathy. I love my dogs but the thoughts of losing this one and then going through it three more times are overwhelming me right now. I wonder, like I did when we lost 2 close together in 2009, if I ever want to get another puppy. It just seems to get harder each time. Hearing about your son and little Sparky put tears in my eyes. I felt the same way about my first hamster, Critter. She was a little sweetheart. The second one though; not so much. I didn't shed a tear over that little biter! I don't think he was too well socialized at the pet shop. LOL

My daughter had a pygmy hamster named Mary years ago. She named it after her great Aunt Mary who is currently 4'9" tall and shrinking at 92 years old! All it's hair fell out twice except for one tuft on her forehead. It was funny/sad because it was caused by hamsters being over bred and having cancers, tumors and other afflictions. It lived for two years though but was very tough for Elizabeth when it died. It was tough for me trying to explain why it's hair kept falling out!

I think it is. Birds tend to go quiet when in pain as to not attract predators but they do feel it. it just looks different. Infections in birds a different and difficult as they don't have liquid puss as people and mammals do. You can't open it and squeeze it to empty it like a pimple. It's solid and is called a "kernel" so you have to cut away the lesion and remove a solid infection that resembles a kernel of corn. Then pack it with antibiotics . They do heal quickly though.
We had Popcorns checkup the other day and she's doing well and the lesion is almost closed!
Good web site for chickens is the Chick Chic. She has a video of the procedure she's learned to do herself. Warning though, it's vivid!

All the recent chat about animals and pets reminds me of James Herriot's books. They are so great! (Actually, great is a vast understatement.) At some chapters I laugh out loud; at others, I find myself wiping tears away. I got my first book of his in third grade and have read them all several times. If I could magically bring someone back from the dead to share a meal with, I'd choose Herriot. Dave, Kelley, everyone -- if you haven't read anything by him I'd strongly recommend it.

They're little killers! They're cute though!
I heard the trap close and when I looked in the attic it was empty and the peanut butter was gone so I went downstairs and got another spoonful. When I came back up it was standing next to the trap with one hand resting on a pile of wood looking at me with anticipation. I held out the PB on the spoon to him and he almost came to it but at the last minute turned and bolted. So... I re PB'd the trap and the little bugger tripped it 3 more times and got away with the PB every time. I WILL GET HIM!
That's why they call them weasels!

Hopefully. The library system will buy the access and each library that wants to offer it will have to pay their share. If enough of them will go in on it we'll be able to do it. Right now I'm arranging for a trial. If we do this and it offers as much access as my subscription does then I will use it for free! At the moment I have the World Traveler membership for 6 months but once I'm done visiting Sweden, Ireland and England I'll drop back down. I wish I could lobby all those other libraries to do it. I want to make our library as appealing to genealogists as we can. We need a big draw!

Even if you use a wet vacuum to dry the carpet, the smell will probably remain, so you're going to have to shampoo the carpet.

I detest heat pumps. They are worthless in cold weather -- at least, the one we had in Virginia was. (Then again, Virginia doesn't get much cold weather.) Ours was about as effective against heat as our evaporative cooler (more commonly called a "swamp cooler") was against the desert heat in Nevada. Ugh.

Success for me, and dare I say very timely too! So I locked myself out of my house this morning. I called my friend who "broke in" to my house. It is the same person who gave me the heat pump so he fixed that as we'll and now the smell has gone.

Tomorrow my girlfriend and I are going packpacking again. We'll be traveling through Nicaragua and El Salvador for three weeks. And 24 hours from now, I'll be in the USA for the first time ever. Unfortionately just for a stopover at the airport in Houston...

I missed this post, Joost! I suppose by now I am too late, but I hope you have/are having/had a really wonderful time.  :)

Success for me, and dare I say very timely too! So I locked myself out of my house this morning. I called my friend who "broke in" to my house. It is the same person who gave me the heat pump so he fixed that as we'll and now the smell has gone. And while all of this was happening I got a letter from the landlord saying he will be doing his flat inspections next week!

What a great day for birds today! Our Eastern Orioles have returned. I counted 11 Bobolinks in the field. This is amazing as they are threatened by development and need open spaces. Hummingbirds, Bluebirds and one Mocking bird who makes more sounds than all of them put together!


This is the first time I've seen these. Look who's not amuzed with me petting the chicken!

I'm glad you like it. I do too. Of all our dogs she is the one who is most devoted to me. I don't always think about it but she is always as close to me as she can possibly get. She becomes inordinately excited when she sees me sit down in my recliner because she knows I'll probably be staying put for a while. She never really sleeps until she feels it's save to do so. And to think, I only wanted to raise Labs for Guiding Eyes!

The stopover in Houston sucked. The people working at that airport are some of the rudest, unfriendliest people I ever met.

I wonder if the parent–teen daughter fights about the length of skirts, shorts, etc., ever, ever ends -- or changes. I was too sleepy to notice my elder daughter's shorts this morning, but I criticized them when I picked her and her sister up from school. They have, like, a 2-inch inseam; ugh! So, of course, she comes back with that standard teenage line (which I myself used when I was that age) "You should see what the kids at school wear!" And of course I come back with the standard parent line, "I don't CARE what the other kids are wearing!" and on and on 'til we get to "As long as you live under my roof...."

Does this ever change? I'm thinking it doesn't.  ha2ha 

I miss the toddler days when I got to pick the outfits.

I tried to snap of picture of her to text to my friends to get some backup, but she was having none of that, LOL.

Believe it or not this is one battle I never had with my daughter, who's now 24. In fact, she used to complain that all she could find at the store were "butt shorts". LOL She's a cute dresser but I guess she's kind of modest. But lest you think she was an easy child, well, we more than made up for it with other battles! From the time she was little she has always had a lot of BIG ideas, most of which involved a lot of money and traveling. She wore me out, especially when I had to make her understand that some things just could not happen. But I am very proud of the things she's accomplished, most recently earning her Master's degree. It's amazing what being a student for so long has taught her about money. And she learned it all without a course in economics!

Yea money and me are not on the same page.... I'm usually good with saving and will never pay a lot on clothes but when I really really really want something I say "screw the price, you only live once!" ......

If it's not one thing, it's another, I guess! That's great that she got her Master's. Being a student for awhile myself taught me a lot about money. It was quite a rude awakening. To this day I cringe when I walk by a display of ramen noodles.

That's him! It's so funny that you both remembered. Honestly, I've always enjoyed the patrons both here and at the other place; especially the more eccentric ones. But I am tired of dealing with him and feel bad that he always disturbs the other patrons at the computers. He used to come to the other library but he's banned from there so he walks 10 miles from where he lives to come to ours. He's been asked not to return to the Subway across the street and our bathroom is downstairs in the children's area (which is off-limits for him) so I don't even wanna know how he handles that! Oh well...this is still the best job I've ever had.

Awesome! Good for you. I'm not but I'm trying to tip the scales more in that direction! I'm going to do a dense row of green and purple bush beans. I've tried to do green and red peppers and have had little success but will try again. Brussels Sprouts! My all time favorites. Tomato's, Squashes. I want to do some Swiss Chard and cabbages.

Good idea to bring all the edible stuff. I love bears! I call my son my "little bear." I would probably be thrilled to see two cubs looking in from the second-floor deck -- if the doors were thick and locked. I understand black bears are generally peaceful but can attack and have perpetrated some pretty vicious attacks.

I remember reading that (i.e., make noise so you don't surprise a bear, who will surely charge if caught off guard) somewhere.

My former sister-in-law said she and her husband were hiking in Montana and are always sure to make lots of noise as they go. It worked in their favor when they came across a grizzly sow and her cubs, who meandered off when they heard them coming. (Whew!)

Wow; really? I need to read up on this stuff. When I read or hear printer, I automatically think "paper."

I'm encouraged to hear this because I have a feeling I may need a crown (or two) when I see the dentist next in August. Last time I had a crown put on, they had a trainee working on me: She keep pressing it on and prying it off until I thought I was going to scream. All I could think of was James Herriot's chapter about his pre-RAF dental visit. <cringe>

Just finished "The People Vs. O.J. Simpson: What the Jury Never Heard." At the end the narrator said that the private owner of the infamous white Bronco rents it out for parties and special events. So morbid, IMO.

I don't think you're in the minority as far as females go. Most girls hate the Three Stooges. I can't say that I could sit and watch them for hours like I sometimes do with my "All in the Family" DVDs but I definitely find them funnier than I used to.

Sure, The Three Stooges were slapstick ex-vaudevillians known for their zany antics in the 200 or so films they appeared in.  Were they funny?  Well, that depends on the viewers sense of humor.

Were they intelligent?  Very much so.  And they were very proactive.  Their own favorite short was "You Nazty Spy!"  The film satirized the Nazis and the Third Reich and helped publicize the Nazi threat in a period when the United States was still neutral about World War II, and isolationist sentiment was prevalent among the public.  Moe, Larry and Curly played three painters and wallpaper hangers recruited by munitions manufacturers to be titular dictatorship leaders in the fictional country of Moronica.  "You Nazty Spy!" was the first Hollywood film to spoof Hitler.  It was released in 1940 nine months before the Charlie Chaplin film "The Great Dictator," which began filming in September 1939. 

The Three stooges were brilliant political satirists...

“My good people of Moronica. I’m very happy to see this little gathering. We must throw off the yoke of monarchy and make our country safe for hypocrisy. Our motto shall be: ‘Moronica for Morons.’ We will have less work and more play. Every Thursday, you will receive hamburgers and eggs. Moronica must expand. We must extend our neighbors a helping hand. We will extend them two helping hands and help ourselves to our neighbors.”

Urgh, I was waiting -- hoping, almost -- to hear some Jimmy Buffet, just to get a break from "Is This Love," "Three Little Birds," etc., but no dice. It was a bit bizarre, actually; I would think Jimmy Buffet covers would be as popular as Bob Marley covers.

Some good rough and tumble reggae there!!



I remember being on vacation in Saint-Martin in 1979.  One night, a local band was playing calypso standards by the pool.  The guests were enjoying it.  Me too, but they looked like a band that could play reggae so I walked up to the guitarist and asked him to play some reggae.  He quietly nodded and when they finished playing Yellow Bird, they played The Harder They Come followed by a couple more reggae songs.  You could see the band members were so happy doing that!  I think the guests enjoyed it too.  Then it was back to calypso...and Rum and Coca-Cola.

I really wish Firefox would stop updating with Beta versions. Every time they do that my You Tube experience gets messed up in some way! This is the worst; now I can only watch YouTube videos with Internet Explorer...and tons of ads. I guess it's time for me to adjust my Firefox settings to prevent automatic updates.

Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why,

fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account?--Yet who would have thought the old man
to have had so much blood in him.

I don't know about anyone else but when summer comes up here I basically bust my arse with work, projects and other things. When I'm done I fall into bed and collapse. There's so much to do in good weather and not enough time! When the winter comes and the woodstove goes on I find myself more relaxed and able to sit. it's just the season. This too shall pass!    :)

Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Hello Goodbye on July 25, 2014, 11:05:09 PM
I can speak from the other side, KE.  It's very important to commend employees for a job well done.  When my nurse or office manager has done something exemplary I always take the time to tell them so.  We work very closely in my office and everyone is important.  Together, we work as a unit to provide proper patient care.

It's been a while since I was a resident, but I remember how happy I felt when I was called into the director's office when I received a good evaluation from the attending staff.

KE, I think everyone wants to hear that they are doing a good job. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have an employer like Barry who will tell them. It's tough to wonder how someone feels about you in general and especially when it comes to your work performance. I'll never forget how I felt at my last job one day when I was plugging away in the back room as a page, checking in books. My supervisor was showing someone around and told them that back here was the bottom of the ladder at the library. While that wasn't really speaking against my performance, her words and tone of voice did make me feel like what I was doing didn't matter much. On the other side, I will also never forget a time about 6 months into my current job when someone from our library system was visiting. My boss introduced me and said that I was doing a "top-shelf" job for them. In both jobs I carried those comments around with me and it really affected how I felt about myself. In the first case I felt very negative for a couple of weeks until I remembered something someone else said at a book repair workshop about how the pages were the first line of defense in protecting the library's holdings. That perked me right up but I'd still rather be where I am! So...yes, a pat on the back when you're doing well is not a lot to ask for but if you aren't getting that find ways to pat your own back and keep your eyes peeled for a different situation.

I think you were a victim of unnecessary censorship, like on Jimmy Kimmel! I was trying to say that that I was walking on one of those raised things that runs between the river and the town so we don't get flooded!

I got an unexpected expense a couple weeks ago. 

My washing machine died 2 Fridays ago right after the wash cycle. It didn't even have the decency to drain the water out so I had a full machine of towels and water.

Fortunately, I have a Shop Vac so I was able get most of the water out. I hoped since the water was out that the spin cycle would work so the towels wouldn't be as wet when I pulled them out. Yeah, right.

I went on Sears.com to look for a new one. Their earliest delivery was 8/7. Uh, no. Homedepot.com was 8/6. Nope. Then I went where I should have gone in the first place-Lowes.com. I ordered a washer at 7:30 that night, and it was delivered at 9:00 the next morning and they took the old one away.

$620.00

I've always worried that would happen with my washer. (P.S. My son's watching the Eagles/Patriots preseason game right now; he's so thrilled that it's on TV.)

Tell him to relax.  It's a preseason game.  It's for mostly evaluating players who are trying to make the team and giving the starters a little bit of game work.

Both defenses were dreadful and need a lot of work before the regular season starts.

It was a lot of fun! I wonder if those were vintage Vox amps? That was the only good picture I got. I swear that in all the pictures I took during the show their faces looked just like the ones on their logo:

I should have taken my real camera. They performed "A Day in the Life" and I could be presenting photographic evidence to answer that persistent question about who does the "ahs". LOL

Tonight when I was driving home from my favorite Mexican restaurant a Black Bear ran across the street just up ahead of me about 100' feet away. he was about 200-250 lbs. and just loped right across. Pretty cool if I don't say so myself! :)

Wow, that is cool! Good thing you didn't hit him, though. We hit a deer once in Nevada (??? there is almost NO vegetation in Nevada, so what the heck do deer eat?) and caused $7,000 worth of damage. I was glad, though, that my husband thought quickly enough to pull off to the right instead of jerking the road into the heavy oncoming traffic.

Tell him to relax.  It's a preseason game.  It's for mostly evaluating players who are trying to make the team and giving the starters a little bit of game work.


I made the mistake of mentioning this to my two older daughters....when another preseason Eagles game was on last Thursday and my son wanted to watch it, the girls protested -- LOUDLY, claiming that "it doesn't count," etc. I stuck up for my little guy, though -- when the Eagles are on, which they are rarely in ND, he gets to watch the game on the big TV. No arguments. He already has to share a bathroom with two teenage girls, I figure he's due a few privileges to make up for that torture.  ;)

The last three days we've been watching this growing flock of unknown (to me) birds fly over and around our house! This kind of thing is just up an amateur birders alley. This evening there were at least 100 as I couldn't count that fast and they wouldn't be still! Turns out we finally identified then as the Common Nighthawk! This is in the whippoorwill family. I've never seen one outside of a bird book and has been the bird highlight of my summer!   ;D

NB - This fixture was NOT a friendly match, it was in the Carling Cup 2nd Round which, of course, Man. Utd, are (sorry, 'were') in because they're not in Europe this season!

That result didn't break my heart.  Gotta say I really enjoyed the City-Liverpool match on Monday.

I just read where City is in the same group as Bayern Munich in the Champions League.  This was kind of a put up or shut up year in Europe for City, but it won't be easy.

Hello Kitty is not a cat. She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty.

It's a valid claim, Kathy. I have a van that's not too bright. It cost me almost $400 a couple of weeks ago when I got it inspected because it needed new ball joints, whatever they are. The brakes are next as they barely passed. I don't even really like behemoth, but it's all I've got...for now.

I'm in the same boat, Kelley. I paid about $500 earlier this summer and postponed some less essential work, which I'll now probably have to get done. Ugh. My appointment is at 7:00 am tomorrow; good thing they have a nice waiting area and offer coffee! (Which reminds me: I saw a mug in a catalog the other day that read "I'm up. If you want bright-eyed and bushy tailed, go chase a freakin' squirrel." LOL)

That mug sounds perfect! And I'm glad you have a good place to wait. I can't remember if I said this before but when I took the van in it was a nightmare. We had to get a new mechanic and I knew I'd seen the place before but I have a hard time with directions and locations. I drove by where I thought it was but Google maps came right up with the location. Or rather a location. They must not have this local place in their database and figured Monroe Muffler was close enough. Arghhh! And when I finally found the place the waiting room was hot and not real comfortable. But the people were nice. Hope it all goes well tomorrow morning. At least you get to have it over with early.

I have had the worst luck with Google maps! I got totally screwed up directions on the way to our hotel in Minneapolis last June; it was so frustrating. I was complaining to the kids, "I wish I had an in-car GPS unit." Then, on the way to the pier to board the cruise ship a few days later in Florida, my father's sophisticated in-car navigation system kept repeating "You have arrived at your destination" when we were actually at a gas station, LOL.

Hope it all goes well tomorrow morning.

Thanks, Kelley! It was so embarrassing; turns out that after I'd put in a quart of oil a few days ago I left the cap off, so the oil splattered out over the whole engine. UGH. I was cringing when they told me. I had been tempted to lift the hood before I brought the car in, but I don't really know what I'm looking at, so I didn't bother. This is probably the one time looking under the hood would have helped. They were gracious and didn't even charge me for cleaning it up, but I have a feeling there was probably some snickering going on behind the scenes.   :-\

I hate making stupid mistakes like that.

I'm sure we've got something similar in the UK but it's one of those crimes that rarely gets prosecuted.

No problem -- I know exactly how that goes. I probably wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't mentioned it.  ;)

Speaking of "misclickulation"s, I mistakenly typed in "9 mission people" instead of ""9 million people" while working on an article a few weeks ago. Luckily, the author (graciously) caught it!  <blush>

Good to see that this French guy isn't letting the Chelsea incident get brushed under the carpet.

It all dandy for Jose Wotsit to invite him to the odious Chelsea to see that they're not racist (erm.....it was only three years ago that the odious John Terry, still at the club, was 'not being racist' to Anton Ferdinand), but the truth is that many of the white, fat, middle-aged men who can still afford to go to Chelsea are the taxi-drivers/city guys who used to be 'naughty' in the dire 1980s, and their attitudes haven't changed a jot.

Chelsea DO have a problem with their support, they have done for almost 50 years now.....time to sort it out, I'm not going to hold my breath though.

The Chelsea-Burnley game is on TV here.  I saw a woman holding up a sign saying "No racism at the Bridge.  That's the way we like it".   I would hope that attitude is the rule and not the exception.  Pretty sad if it's not.

Let's hope that the next time that particular woman suspects someone is exhibiting racist behaviour either within or outside Stamford Bridge (chances, at a conservative estimate, about.....oh..... 1 in 2 matches, I should imagine) she reports it to the relevant authorities.

Or, of course, she could pretend that it doesn't exist.

Yes, I too long for the sixties glory days of the baby boomers, with their homophobia, drug abuse, sexism, racism and abuse. Oh, and thanks to their "I can do what I want" ethos cheers for the legacy of AIDS, rampant consumerism, drug addled one parent families and a decimated environment. Happy days.

I overstate things for effect of course. But do you really feel nothing for modern times (ie post 1969)? Nothing from the Punk Revolution, New Wave, grunge, dance or Britpop? The Clash? New Order? The Smiths? Blur? The Young Ones, Black Adder, The Good Life, Men Behaving Badly etc? (I won't name British movies, as I think they generally suck, whatever the decade)

Could be argued that the sixties as some kind of cultural high water for the UK, but I struggle to accept that other decades were so barren. I hung onto popular culture until about 2000, when it began to confuse and befuddle me. But I'll happily accept that its not it that became boring and irrelevant. It's me.

Re: the question about feeling nothing for anything post-'69.

Answer: Absolutely nothing. The 60s is clearly a cultural high water mark.

I can think of absolutely nothing made after '69 that compares to how it had been done before. All those things you listed I can't stand, and don't compare with The Beatles, The Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, Tony Hancock, Steptoe, Python etc.....and since when was little ol' punk a 'Revolution'! - the clash couldn't buy a top 10 hit.

The only exception, which I mentioned before, is the ability (thank the Lord) to access the past, which is far easier than it would have been in 1964.....but then, why would anyone living in 1964 wanted to have accessed the past!

I'll be right on that Jeremy Clarkson story, you see.

The only exception, which I mentioned before, is the ability (thank the Lord) to access the past, which is far easier than it would have been in 1964.....but then, why would anyone living in 1964 wanted to have accessed the past!

I'll be right on that Jeremy Clarkson story, you see.

Oh agree of the Clarkson thing. It's what all the papers are saying.just don't see following the money as a particularly modern trait.

You hate everything made after 69? Wow.

The break with the past in 1964 does seem more complete than subsequent big changes. The charts were suddenly full of inanely grinning beat combos. But I think that if you looked at the singles charts you'd never detect the other great upheavals such as punk, dance and hip hop. Maybe because in 64 everyone buying pop singles were of the same age but later there were enough mums and dads and older brothers and sisters buying records to keep the charts occupied by Shaking Sevens and Racey. rock had splintered and had so many different audiences that 1964 just couldn't happen again

Football.

It's April 11.....if you'd predicted the Premier League table as it now stands, clubs 1 to 20 in order, on the first day of the season back in August, the bookies would have given you minimal odds.

It's April 11.....if you can predict the top 8 of the league below, or indeed any league going down to clubs playing on the edge of hills with cows roaming the out-field, you're a genius.

And yet all the interest is in the predictable.
Funny, isn't it.

That's interesting looking at the recent study on changes in popular music. This study looked at chord progressions, rhythms, sonic qualities etc. The study concluded that while the early sixties was a big change, the biggest revolution was the hip hop and rap era.

The thing is, according to the methodology, they took their sample from the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. Now to me that only represents a windows on popular music. Beatles, stones, the who etc suddenly appearing on the charts all would have shown breaks and developments from the past but their antecedents would have been more obvious ( Holly to Beatles and Berry to Stones isn't that much of a stretch for instance musically)  The change would have been more of one in degree rather than a fundamental shift. 

Now if hip hop and rap start appearing on the charts in the 90s that's clearly going to look a bigger break musically with Flock of Seagulls and Duran Duran. But rap and hip hop themselves grew out of earlier musical styles. It's just that these didn't appear in the Top 100. The evolution wasn't so much in the music then in the shift in tastes which saw this style become a large seller. Rap had been around since at least the 70s

And punk etc would barely be a blip in the late 70 s as it didn't tend to figure much on the singles charts. And progressive rock, being an album based form, also wouldn't have been noticed at all.

The methodology seemed to throw up other curious results, such as what they claim was the disappearance of the dominant 7th chord from pop from the early 60s. The Beatles were big exponents of this chord. Perhaps only analysing 30 second snippets of top 100 songs, which is what they did, simply missed this type of thing.

Still. Interesting study.

Alas, the 'big change' hippity hop and rap brought on was a record industry which is best when completely ignored, rather than the all-encompassing one of the 50s and 60s. A style of music which is either cloying sentimental or racist/homophobic/sexist with dire clothes, graphic design etc. to go with it.

As soon as 'a study says' something about pop music run for the hills.....it will always be garbage.
Which reminds me, we can't be far away from a 'they're bigger than The Beatles' story.
They occur every couple of years and you know they are always rubbish because two years later when the next one appears, the reference point is still always The Beatles.....not the thing that was bigger than The Beatles two years before!!!!!!!

The acquisition was gradual. ;)  I hurt my back working in a warehouse in college because I wasn't lifting properly. Once in awhile it acts up.

The wrist and elbow braces are due to repetitive-stress strain because of my computer work. I have a seriously nasty case of tennis elbow right now -- even though I've never played tennis, LOL.

Fortunately I have not yet had to wear all three at once!

<laugh> Oh, yeah, and a few years ago I had to get special orthotic inserts because I had plantar fasciitis! My body is seriously falling apart. I just joined the local Y in what is probably a vain attempt to recapture some of my lost youth.

And he was very intelligent, Kelley.  His favorite spot in the house was the mat by the kitchen sink.  He never roamed around to claw on furniture.  He did that on trees outside.  If he had to relieve himself, he would go to the door and meow.  If he was alone in the kitchen, he would would find one of us in the house and let us know he had to go out.

He never bit or scratched anyone either.  He reserved that behavior for his frequent fights with other feral toms in the woods.  He was pretty good-looking too especially in the winter with his thick coat, mane and bushy tail.  He probably had some Persian in him.  His right ear never stood up straight, though, because of some wound he had as a result of a fight.

I just saw a Spirograph on eBay, vintage 1968. That brings back a lot of memories!

Omigosh, I remember Spirograph! Back in the good ol' days when a kid could have fun without electronics.   ;D

Let me correct that: When kids most often had fun without electronics.

I cannot believe how much harder it is to have a marriage declared invalid than it is to get a civil divorce. My stack of papers is twice as high already, and I'm only 3 months in and looking at another 18 months at least. Incredible. (Not that I'm objecting -- it should be hard.) I didn't even want this!

On a related note, the other day I was watching an episode of Twilight Zone ("The Little People") in which one character calls another a "grousing malcontent." (I love Rod Serling.) Maybe I should change my user name.  ha2ha

Yeah, if I had to chose one over the other it would be the 60's. But I'll take now over anything because I can still enjoy lots of things from the 60's and also hang on to some people I love who would not be here without today's medical advances. It's a win/win situation!

Maybe next year you should go with the maribou-trimmed negligee. That would make the bath puff seem a lot better! I probably already told this story but it reminds me of a young man who was at camp with my son. We were sitting with him and his mom at the closing day cookout and she casually asked him if he had all his dirty clothes packed up. Well, he shouted "MOM!" as he jumped up and stormed away. She looked stricken and said, "It's been like this ever since he turned 13." I could only figure is that she came dangerously close to mentioning his underwear.

She, like me, must not have been used to boys. I never had a brother or close male relative/friend growing up, so I've made a lot of mistakes with my little guy, especially since he turned 12/13. (I probably would have mentioned his underwear.) Poor kid.

I'd get some tracing paper, tape it over the photo, then use a nice dark pen to line out the main features. If you're looking for some digital solution, I'm not sure. Some Photoshop filters can do certain things, but I don't know about this very thing. Maybe someone else has a suggestion for that.

My elder daughter loves art and does this all the time; I will ask her tonight how she does it. Right now she's working on an Andy Warhol–style panel of a photo of Louis Tomlinson (of One Direction) for a class. She worked out some complicated grid system.

Jim's (Klang) idea sounds logical, and probably easier, but I'll see if Monica has anything to offer.  :)
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Normandie on October 14, 2015, 09:37:55 PM
Here's my daughter's advice; again, it may be more complicated than what you want to do. Good luck!


What I was taught to do when I wanted to re-create a photo as a drawing was to grid the photo (I print it out) and grid the paper I was going to draw on. I usually take my picture and grid it with one inch grid lines (or however many inches depending on size) and redraw the grid again on the paper. Then I just draw the lines out in the corresponding boxes and then once I'm done I erase the grid lines and I'm left with the line picture. It can get kind of complicated though depending on the size of your image and how big you want it be, if the image is smaller and you want to make it larger then how you grid the picture will be different from how you grid the paper, for example one piece I did I had to grid the picture by one inch squares and grid my paper by inch-and-a-half squares. Hope this somewhat helps!

I was out today getting my deer fencing put up and right above me a Pileated Woodpecker landed in a small wild cherry tree and let out it's big jungle call" Oooo, Oooo Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh! I was surprised but he didn't fly away and just watched me while he ate old grapes off of a old vine that grows wild through the trees. I guess he wanted me to know those were HIS grapes!

Oh, I didn't know wisdom teeth could come in as late as 21, Kelley. (How romantic to be a 21-year-old bride!) She's having them out on December 11, which is a Friday so she'll be going home to her dad's, so he gets to be the one to fuss over her. I wanted to do that (i.e., take care of spoil and make a fuss over her). I had mine out when I was 14, and it wasn't fun, but it wasn't too bad.

LOL Lucky for our dogs that they don't know any better because that is also the name of their vet! They love Dr. Payne. We have a vet right down the street but we switched for a number of reasons. The last one we saw here insisted that our little Boston Terrier wear a "party hat" otherwise known as a muzzle because Rosie nipped her the first time we saw her. That's not why we left but I was nervous the first time she saw Dr. Payne for that reason. He walked in and started singing to her and put his face right in hers. I thought, uh oh, but all she did was kiss him and she still does all the years later.

I always think of a very precocious  little girl I know who got one for her December birthday a few years ago. She wanted no part of it. Her mom tried but finally said, "Okay...he's out in the garage in a box. Besides, the whole story is fake." That wasn't good enough for Reece though. She wanted it totally gone because "He's out there thinking about me with his fake little mind!" LOL

It's amazing how Beatles references seem to abound. Just now I read this one in an article about steam heat, of all things. I know it sounds like an odd article for me to read but I happen to be a big fan of that type of heat and love the old radiators that have been in my house for over 100 years. LOL

"Holohan paused on an image of ice-skaters twirling in Central Park, so old that the Dakota stood alone in the skyline. “What does everyone in this picture have in common?” he asked. “I’ll tell you: every one of them is dead, dead, dead. They don’t know about rock and roll, or a band called the Beatles, or a place called Strawberry Fields. But the heating system in that building behind them is still in place.” The crowd murmured appreciatively."

The Joy of Steam Heat-The New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/01/04/steamed-the-joy-of-steam-heat?mbid=social_facebook)

I think this is actually the picture, from 1890:

That's a great pic Kelley. The skyline looks a bit different now.

I had steam heating in the house I lived in in NJ as a teenager. I recall I used to like sleeping in the cold (being raised in Sydney meant I'd never experienced really cold conditions). I used to shut the valve off in my room in winter and pull the blankets up. I don't recall getting pneumonia. Must have been a close run thing though.

When we first moved in here we had all kinds of trouble with air in the system. I can still see Kevin running up and down the stairs with a radiator key and a bucket. But a new boiler fixed that. And so began the money pit years.

It has been quiet. We need someone to start a controversial thread. Like "Ringo was a better songwriter than John" or something like that.

There you go! Speaking of Ringo, I heard a spot on the radio promoting his upcoming concert here. It's starting to feel real now!

I've been listening to a lot of classical lately, and discussing it over at Hoffman Land. (I can just hear it now - "Can't be a rock and roller and listen to Sibelius")   ha2ha

I guess I'm at the point in my life where what can I say about The Beatles at this point?

Plus, I've been listening to a lot of 21st Century rock bands, which to be honest, was never a popular subject around here.

Me too, at home, but in public I could go either way. My daughter knows all about being embarrased by her overwrought mother! When we went to see Marley and Me she said "You're not going to cry are you?" I told her I wasn't going to make any promises and it's a good thing 'cos I bawled my fool head off! I did that when I watched Titanic too but at least I was home for that. LOL But I will be thinking of you when June 5th rolls around.

He's extremely pompous.  My sister auditioned for the show about 20 years ago.  They flashed fifty responses on a TV monitor and she had ten seconds to write the questions.  My sister gets every one right without even looking at the TV!  That day she scored a 90%.  She was disappointed and the way he consoled her was by saying "When I take these quizzes, I usually score 98%"  My sister replied:  "Oh yeah?  Well you're not so smart.  You have the answers on your little cards during the show."

Maybe 90% woulda been sufficient to get her on the show.  We'll never know.

Thanks, Kelley! His name is Rodney, and he was dropped off about a month ago by a family who was moving and said they could no longer care for him. He's only a year old, and he does seem very bright! He's such a loving, sweet little guy -- so good natured. The kids and I just adore him. I can't wait to bring him home; the last few times we walked him he clearly did not want to go back into the kennel, although he likes the staff and is very loving with them, too.


I just told you that I hoped you'd be able to get a dog soon! Now I'm going to hope you get a million dollars.  ;)

I thought he looks like he's been well-cared for. I can't imagine doing what his previous owners did but stuff happens, I guess, and I'm glad his story isn't like some I've heard. I'm always amazed at how resilient these little creatures are. Every time I scroll by this cute little face I have to laugh, thinking about how wild it's likely to get at your place. He's really still a puppy and he'll be very excited to be there. Your son is going to love this I bet!

That is something to be happy about! Enjoy! I'm having my own little peaceful day here. The rest of my family took Rosie to visit Gram. It's not like Rosie is too hard to care for, but we have to keep her and the German Shepherd apart. That is the thing I need a break from doing!

Yes, my son is over the moon about Rodney! And life will be crazy for awhile. Rodney doesn't seem very yappy, though, although that may change once we bring him home.

I'd never been to a Humane Society before, and I have to say, those workers all deserve a gold medal, or a halo, or something. They love those dogs and take such good care of them. There is one dog who has been there for 8 years (!) because he was teased as a puppy and tends to snap and bite. But he also wags his tail and clearly wants to be loved. He does get walked by staff and volunteers. I was tempted to try to adopt him, but my elder daughter got bitten, quite badly, by a dog when she was only 7 and is still a little skittish around dogs, so he wasn't a good match for us.

It's hard to walk in there and not want to adopt every pet.

Happy Gotcha Day to Rodney and his new family!!

Thanks, Kelley! When we went in to sign the papers and pick him up, we found out that his original name was Bear, which was the name of the first dog my ex and I got after we got married. (That "Bear" was an American Eskimo.) Because we found he responded to "Bear," but not to "Rodney," we got him a new nametag. The folks at the kennel said they change the pets' names when they arrive, so I hope we are not making a bad decision and bringing back traumatic memories for him.

Nice looking Pomeranian, Kathleen.  I know you'll take good care of him.

Thank you, Barry.  :)  He's an incredibly sweet dog, just gentle and full of love (and a LOT of energy!). He hasn't barked once since we picked him up 7 hours ago.

IE 11 is a whole lot better than their new one, Edge! I had a lady in her 80's come to me at work, all upset because she couldn't seem to get the hang of Facebook. I felt bad because her kids were giving her a hard time about helping her. It turned out that Edge was to blame. I've never seen such strange behavior. We rolled her back to 11 and now she's probably more proficient than her kids!

I've always thought this was a really neat song. And they still sounded great doing it 37 years later.

But Windows 7 has rewarded me by making my volume and power icons disappear. I hope they come back after a restart. Otherwise I have to go into the registry to fix this. Blech.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Hello Goodbye on August 04, 2016, 06:04:33 AM
I'm not sure what power icon you're talking about, Kelley.  I have one in the taskbar for my APC UPS, but to get your volume control back in the taskbar...

•Click Start and then Control Panel.
•Double-click the Sounds and Audio Devices icon.
•Select the Show volume control on the taskbar checkbox and, then, click OK.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Hello Goodbye on August 04, 2016, 10:08:19 PM
Or, Kelley, you can click on the double ^ icon in you taskbar, click on Customize, and re-enable the volume and power (I guess you're using a laptop) the icons and notifications in your taskbar.  You needn't mess with regedit.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: KelMar on August 05, 2016, 02:29:38 AM
Thanks for taking the time to help me Barry.  :) They actually came back after a restart. I've had this happen before. The second method you mentioned showed that they were both set to display the icons. Then I found an area of the control panel where you can turn system icons on or off. They were both off but also grayed out. That was the problem. That's when I just restarted it. Last time I ended up downloading a registry hack and that fixed it. But that's a last resort! This was the ghost in the machine coming out to play.

Hit me with a chair till my head got sore

Ian would always end his set with That'll Never Happen No More, Kelley.  It's an upbeat blues piece and he wanted his audience to leave happy.

He often started his set with Bourrée in E minor by Johann Sebastian Bach...

I love these videos, Barry! I must have missed this when you posted it. Before I got distracted looking to my right I was going to say that things sure have changed in my 30 years as a homeowner. It used to be that if an appliance didn't work I called the folks at the repair shop a few miles down the road and they'd come fix it. The month old microwave isn't heating food so I had to talk to someone in the Dominican Rebuplic, spend about 10 minutes on diagnostics to prove it isn't working, get a ticket number and wait to find out that someone at the repair shop a few miles down the road would come fix it. (Or more likely recommend replacement.)  ;D But it was okay...the young man on the phone was quite nice and wanted to know all about the weather in New York. He'd heard about last week's storm. LOL

I think most electrical things now are chuck and replace. In most instances they've come so far down in price that it's cheaper to buy another one than even pay the minimum labor charge to just look to see if anything can be done. When I was a lad there was a shop near us filled with tvs that were being fixed. And I recall a couple of instances of the tvs repairman coming out to look at our tv. It seems now if the rare event happens that your tv doesn't work then its most likely unrepairable anyway.

Right. This thing is under warranty so I think the serviceman is just coming to act as coroner. But I must be a real glutton for punishment as I just now got off the phone with the cable tv company. I wanted to get the bill down, which I did, but since a new company is transitioning in here it was a very confusing experience. I guess I'll know what channels  I have when I connect the new boxes!

Got my taxes done, woot woot! I'm getting a decent-sized refund, which I want to put toward a trip to the ocean with the kids. I haven't seen the ocean in years. We went to a different Atlantic beach every year when I was a kid, and before the divorce.

I should probably do something sensible [read: boring] with the money, like pay down my credit card or put it into my retirement fund <yawn>. But I'd rather have a beach vacation.   :-\

I did! They actually repaired the microwave instead of just replacing it and the cable bill is down 60 bucks! Plus, we are now on the new, faster Internet with a new router and modem. I can finally use my iPad frustration-free to go online. So the phone torture was worth it. LOL

Congrats on the nice refund! If it's federal, you probably will get it pretty quickly. We owe on that one but the kids have their refunds already. I think you should definitely opt for the ocean. After all...

I'll bet that was one cricket that could fly! My brother lived in Charlottesville and I remember lots of ticks. I got really sick at the end of my first semester in college and tested positive for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I had been to VA in August and never did figure out if there could have been a connection. Now the ticks here are horrible. It seems to be worse here in the town I live in than other surrounding ones. Not sure why.

I'm glad you recovered OK, Kelley. Our daughter picked up a tick in VA when she was about 2. I'm not quite sure how that happened.

That's become fairly common here, Moog. The wine in question was from a local winery and they seem to be sticking with the corks. That was an interesting article. I never knew there was an official name besides just screwtop. The next time I'm faced with a corkscrew topped wine bottle at the liquor store I'll just say, "Excuse me, do you have this in a Stelvin cap?"

We also have these sort of hybrid things here that are like plastic corks. They are the hardest to get open. I think the disdain toward screwtops here, especially among people of a certain age, comes from this:

It was the cause of a lot of idiopathic vomiting in teenagers in the '70's.   ;)

I think you're right, Moodmodule. I know I recoiled for several years at screw-top wine bottles, but after doing some searching online, and continuing to shop for wine (of course!), I see the stigma is increasing.

I don't think I ever drank Boone's Farm Wine, but I did consume my share of <retch> Meister Brau beer and <double retch> Everclear, which I still see in stores.

That Everclear is potent stuff. It was usually beer or sloe gin fizzes for me. New Year's Eve 1982 kind of cured me of the later, though. LOL

That song pops into my mind more often than you might think, Barry. LOL It was one of the songs we learned in chorus my senior year, only our version, thankfully, left out the rusty razor and captain's daughter verses. Some of us also substituted the name of one of the guys in class for "sailor", much to his chagrin. But we stopped short of doing it during the spring concert. Weren't we nice?  ha2ha

I know what you mean about the building site. Last time I was up there it was pretty messy. I’m going up this weekend and staying in the city centre so willl get to enjoy it more no doubt.

This stupid partial government shutdown is enraging me. My ex is a federal employee who is working without pay, so he can't pay child support, which I badly need because I don't earn that much (mostly because so much of my work has been outsourced to India and the Phillipines). Coming on the heels of $2,200 in auto repair bills and Christmas, the timing couldn't be worse. These politicians (in my anger, I'm including ALL of them) are so immature and stubborn. A group of toddlers could resolve this border wall funding thing with more speed and efficacy. In the meantime, hundreds of thousands of families are struggling to put food on the table.

Rant over; sorry, I just had to get that out.

My random thought tonight:  I was just thinking about Sophia, the robot.  She was activated on Valentine's day in 2016 so this week's Valentine Day, she'll be 3 years old.  So far, her answers to interviewer's questions are Alexa and Siri style, meaning she's not really cognizant of what she's being asked.  She's simply "generating" answers based on data inputs.

She started out as a robotic talking head, but now she has a body and recently has started walking.

I can only wonder about the future as she continues to evolve.  It's very intriguing to me.  She can currently see and hear.  I don't know if she can process sensations yet.  But - one can only wonder what the future holds for her.

Yay!!!! Gone With the Wind is being released on the big screen (nationwide, I believe, but definitely at our local theater) next weekend. My friends and daughters all have plans to go. (Unfortunately, my one daughter has to see it with her friends up in Grand Forks. I had hoped she could see it with us.)

I haven't seen this on the big screen in about 35 years. It's much more fun with a crowd. The audience always booed Leslie Howard and cheered Clark Gable, and laughed at the funny parts. It is SO much better on the big screen than on a TV screen and/or alone.

It's nice to have something to look forward to during this long, freezing winter.

It might be "hidden." My daughter couldn't find it on the AMC website for Grand Forks; it was under a section called "Fathom

"Mammy's a smart old soul and one of the few people I know whose respect I'd like to have."   Rhett Butler

Yes, Kathleen, a pivotal point in the movie is when wise and devoted Mammy finally did respect Rhett Butler.


"It seems we've been at cross purposes, but it doesn't matter now."   Rhett Butler

The movie was an endless series of cross purposes.  Though the novel and movie hinted at a sequel, I'm happy that Margaret Mitchell never wrote one.  What ultimately happened to Scarlett and Rhett will be speculated upon for eternity.


Kelley, it's worth the drive to see Gone With The Wind on the big screen.  The first time I ever did was in 1975 at The Loew's Paradise Theatre in The Bronx on a BIG screen.  As Kathleen said, it's much more fun with a crowd.

Margaret Mitchell didn’t but Alexandra Ripley did. It came out in 1991, was called Scarlett and it was awful.

Okay, I just read the plot summary of Alexandra Ripley's Scarlett.  It looks like it was 900 pages of trash.  I bet the TV adaptation was no better.

Rhett was a strong character.  Scarlett was young and foolish when they met but the Civil War and plantation hardships caused her to mature into a strong character herself with but one flaw which she finally rid herself of the day Melanie died.  It was another cross-purpose moment in a whole series of such moments.  I prefer to hold onto the ending we've all come to know...

That would have been a great scene if it were put in the movie as written!  And that goes for a lot that appeared in the novel but it would have made a very long movie even longer.

I've long had a copy of the DVD for "This is It."  I've never watched it but had it on my agenda.  So, the other night I started playing it and after about a half an hour, I realized I couldn't enjoy it because of thinking about the abuse allegations against him.

I'll never be the same.  I really don't think I can separate his art from the reality of what he did in his personal life.

It's just deeply sad - tragic.  But I can't imagine how hard it is for Paris.  Hopefully, people feel empathy for her.  She doesn't deserve the hell she's going through.

That sounds like it could be my personal theme song.  ha2ha


Kathleen, Lorenz Hart's original lyrics to Richard Roger's melody went like this...


Prayer (Oh Lord, make me a movie star)

https://youtu.be/kvEocQhMh1o (https://youtu.be/kvEocQhMh1o)
1934



Lorenz Hart rewrote the lyrics for Manhattan Melodrama twice, finally settling on The Bad in Every Man. 

The song was well-liked and Hart was persuaded to rewrite the lyrics one more time so the song could be released on recording.  The result was Blue Moon...

My fave soccer club is Manchester City Baz, their signature song is Blue Moon

A wise choice for the team's signature song, Kev.  It's so very well-liked.

Even Bob Dylan likes it...

I've been down in the dumps lately.  A friend I grew up with and played in a band with died unexpectedly of a sudden heart attack.  The medics couldn't save him.  He was a year older than me.

We weren't buddies in later years but I have lots of good memories.  Death really seems completely senseless to me but what can you do?  It doesn't matter what you think about it, it's still inevitable.

Oh well, la de da - "Put on a happy face."  (Remember that song?)

Your father is offering sound advice, Kathleen.  Private colleges today are doing this very thing to recruit students that they feel will excel.  He should definitely apply.  The "visit" will be a scheduled meeting with members of the admission committee where, amongst other things, financial considerations will be discussed.  Don't let him pass up this offer.  Harvard is interested in him!

Thanks, Barry! I will encourage him to apply. I've told him that an interview will almost certainly be a part of the application process. He's definitely not as sophisticated as most of their applicants, I fear, having spent most of his childhood in rural Nevada and now North Dakota.

The letter did make it clear that financial concerns should not prevent him from applying.

I would definitely rather see my daughter! Unfortunately she is off to a lake cabin with some friends. (And she was seriously disrespectful earlier; after our argument she said she "needed to think" about whether she still wanted me to come up. I was like, "I'm not holding my breath while you decide what I can do!"). She's half-Irish and half Eastern European, which adds up to one fiery, bullheaded girl. (So am I, actually.)

So, she'll go to the lake, and she's coming home (I hope!) for a week in August.

My random thought this morning is about music videos.  They seem like a waste of time and money to me.  If you have a good song, people want to sing it.  They don't want to see a video of it.

It seems like everybody who makes music videos thinks they're some kind of very elegant artist.  I mean just look at how slick and polished many of these productions are.  They seem to focus on extravagance and elegant sets as well as the most fashionably attired performers.  So what if you're dirt poor or you're working in fast food, what do you think when you see these music videos that are made by wealthy people who are celebrating the theme of wealth in the content of their videos?

Take a look at Madonna's videos for a good sample of what I'm talking about.

I think music videos are exercises in vanity and nothing more.  A good song is meant to be sung along to and shouldn't be limited by the personal fantasy of the person singing it.

I don’t work at the front desk much since I switched libraries seven years ago, but I do run into some people with unrealistic expectations when it comes to what computers can do. But most people who need computer help are so appreciative and give me so much more credit than I deserve. They more than make up for the other ones.

I'm wondering if I should go and see the Joker.  A local TV critic just panned it on this morning's news program.  He said he didn't like it because the Joker got revenge against people who bullied him.  The critic said he was sickened by this.  So, I really don't know if I should see it or not.

I recently spent 7 days in the hospital, and I was waiting on delivery of two vacuum cleaners (upright and canister) from Amazon. I had my friends and daughter checking, and they snagged the upright one out of our foyer, but someone stole the canister vacuum. Luckily Amazon rushed one out the next day for no charge. I don't understand why people steal things. It's so obnoxious. I don't think I could sleep at night if I were using something I'd stolen, or even if I'd stolen the it and then sold it.

Sorry, just had to vent. Even though this isn't really logical, the fact that I was in the hospital seems to compound the insult.

That is just so ignorant. I worry about that happening here. In fact, I want to get a couple of cameras like Kyle has at his place down the street. A few a months ago it recorded a guy knocking on his side door, then looking all around the restored '69 Chevy pickup that's parked under the carport in front of his garage. Then, about a month ago, he turned up again and looked in the garage windows, then kicked at two gas cans. It turns out that he sometimes goes around the neighborhood begging for gas. The neighbor between Kyle and here gave him some once and saw him put it in his tank. To his credit, there was gas in one of Kyle's cans but he left it. These things happened in the morning so I keep my eyes peeled for him when I walk Molly. Thursday it finally happened. I ran into him at the end of my driveway, almost literally because the sun was in my eyes, hoofing towards Kyle's with a gas can in his hand. He must have said something I couldn't hear because he then said, "I was just thinking out loud...yeah right out loud." He quickly turned around and walked in the other direction so I went that way too. He just kind of disappeared way down the street where the sidewalk runs out. From his reaction I'm quite sure he recognized me. Unfortunately, Kyle found out that he lives in an apartment in a house that may give him a very good view of me when I take Molly out back. I don't know if he's particularly dangerous but he did get into an altercation with a lady Kyle knows, over an odd job she hired him to do. I just don't care for the feeling that someone might be watching me.   :-\

Normandie:  Thanks for the support and the sharing. 

You are most welcome, Loco. Depression is still so stigmatized (although things seem to be getting better) that most of those who suffer with it feel alone and isolated.

Sometimes my depression virtually cripples me although I still go to my job everyday. 

That is great! I used to spend up to 6 days of the week in bed. Sounds like you are functioning well and are strong enough to NOT let it cripple you. Some days, just getting out of bed can seem like an impossible task, so I admire you for overcoming that.

At least, I'm not drinking like my dad did.  That was his medication.  He wouldn't have gone for help no matter what.  He thought he was above all that but he really wasn't.  And he blamed other people for his unhappiness.  R.I.P.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. I can completely identify with the whole self-medicating thing. You probaby already know this, but both depression and alcoholism have genetic components.

Again, I wish you the best. Hang in there and know you are not alone!

Anyone ever go back and look at their old posts? You can find a list of every single one on your profile page. I read mine from way back in 2007 when I was 16 and brand new to the forum. Lol funny how you change. Both in the maturity of how you talk, and your preferences. For example, I said Girl was the worst song on Rubber Soul if I HAD to choose one. And nowadays it's one of my very favorite Beatle songs. Now I'm all nostalgic because the forum was very active back then. I remember some of the old members and miss them.

Hi nimrod,

Yes, that very well could be true about Facebook. I do like Facebook and there are plenty of good Beatle groups. But it's just different. Mostly it's just tons of pictures. You don't get the discussions that we have here. And now that I think of it, I feel like it was right around 2009 that members started to leave. And that happens to be when Facebook really took off. On Facebook you just can't get quite the same experience though! There were more young fans on here back then too. Maybe a lot of them just grew up and got busy with life? I might be the youngest one on here these days (28).



Thanks Hello Goodbye! Great idea!

Being an admin at a Beatles Facebook group was one of the worst experiences of my life! LOL  Julia, the one that you invited me to is much nicer than that one was but I agree; Facebook is not conducive to the type of camaraderie we have here. For one thing, it’s tricky to go back and find discussions after a while. But I think a lot of the younger members have gone there or just don’t have time for it anymore.

According to the article, by the time the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies collide, our sun will be near the end of its life having depleted its supply of hydrogen.  It will have grown in size to a "Red Giant" and will already have a detrimental effect on Earth.  Just like Krypton, the Earth will be destroyed...

Here's the article:  Our Galaxy‘s Date With Destruction (http://www.astronomy.com/magazine/2019/10/our-galaxys-date-with-destruction)


(http://www.astronomy.com/-/media/Images/Magazine%20Articles/2018/Milky%20Way%20Inside%20and%20Out/localgroups.jpg?mw=1000&mh=800)


Our research suggests the Milky Way and Andromeda will begin to interact strongly about 2 billion years from now. The merger will conclude in about 5 billion years. The latter date is especially notable because it coincides with the Sun’s remaining life span. Currently, our Sun is about halfway through its projected lifetime and eventually will begin to expand. As it does, our home star will consume all of its available hydrogen and become a red giant within 5 billion years from now. In short, the Sun will be in its death throes on Milkomeda’s birthday.

The Sun’s red giant stage will make life on Earth rather uncomfortable. Indeed, it will spell the end of life as we know it. However, it does not preclude the possibility for colonization of habitable planets around nearby stars. Thus, it is possible future astronomers will be able to witness some, if not all, of the Local Group evolution we have simulated.



All this will happen a bit more than two years from now so you needn't be concerned, blmeanie.   ;)

I agree Moog.  For doctors here in the US it's all hands on deck so I have certain hospital responsibilities that I must attend to.  But I still have time to interact about The Beatles, and other topics, on this Forum.

Things are pretty much shut down here too, the extent of which I'm not entirely in agreement with.  I won't go into detail but one important matter I've been briefed on is the unreliability of the current COVID-19 testing used which has a high number of false positive results.  This should be of solace to everyone concerned.

Probably because the media and the left blame him for everything.  At the start of this whole thing he placed a travel ban on incoming people and the left called him xenophobic.  He relented on the ban and the left blamed him for letting people into the country.  No matter what he does, the story will be twisted to make him look bad.  The country has been in a strange state of mind for awhile now.  As I said before, Trump didnt cause the division in the country, the division caused Trump.

You can rhapsodize about him here, Kathleen.

I learned a bit about him in the 1960s as he, like me, campaigned for Senator Eugene McCarthy when he was seeking the Democrat Party nomination for President candidacy in the 1968 election.  He was candid about his personal life and military experience.  I understood his reasons for wanting to join the army during World War II and how his feelings about war changed after his military service.

You can rhapsodize about him here, Kathleen.

I read on the Twilight Zone Cafe that while Serling was still enlisted he and a group of his men were sitting in a shady grove listening to his CO. A large parcel (food, I think) that had been strung up in the trees suddenly snapped free and fell, striking the CO and decapitating him in front of the horrified group. That alone -- not to mention actual war experience -- would be traumatizing.

I reluctantly abandoned the Twilight Zone Cafe because one of its members was virulently anti-Catholic and would never (over the course of months) let the matter drop, and the moderator didn't do a thing. But that anecdote came from a respected member, so I'm inclined to believe it.

Thanks, Cor but what I’m looking for is a shampoo ad. Breck shampoo had a very long ad campaign where they used portraits of various “Breck Girls”. Most of them weren’t photographs but pastel portraits done by a couple of different artists. They became iconic in the 30 some years of their existence. I saw Patti Boyd listed as a 1965 Breck Girl and even though it’s spelled wrong I assumed it was our Pattie. Now I’m doubting the accuracy of that because I have looked at a lot of Breck Girl pictures and found no sign of any Patty/Pattie Boyd. I also think now that all of them were American girls. Some were up and coming models and Junior Miss Pageant winners, but for many years they were Breck employees or family members of employees. Here’s an example from 1965:

Ugh. I have been so plagued by waves of sadness. This time of year is always difficult but this is the worst in a while. We all feel the sadness of the 9/11 anniversary, then for me it’s directly followed by 9/12. That’s the anniversary of the day that I lost my big brother and suddenly stopped being someone’s sister. Now the 10th can be added because my cousin’s son died last Thursday. And...just now I heard from my eldest cousin’s wife and found out that he’s been suffering from dementia like my mom did. I feel so terrible that I didn’t ask him the questions I have about our family and, more importantly that we haven’t stayed in touch. Sorry to be such a downer.  I’ve learned to be somewhat pragmatic and focus on good memories but this is an emotional pile on! I know what my brother would say. He’d tell me to go watch Blazing Saddles. Or else he’d tell me a joke. I’m open to any additional funny movie suggestions or a humorous anecdote, if anyone happens to have one.

Random thought/question:  Should I watch the movie "Yesterday?"

There’s a whole thread you can read on various impressions under the films category.

In short it’s almost a must see for Beatle fans given it’s a large part 90 minutes of veneration of Beatle music. Which can’t ever be bad. But you do have to sit through a sappy and rather unconvincing rom-com at the same time. There’s some nice moments in it though. All in all I’d say it’s worth a watch.

As if 2020 hasn't been bad enough, now we have Asteroid 2018VP1 headed right at us with a 1 in 240 (0.41%) chance of striking the earth on November 2nd.  Will it be another Chicxulub impactor?

You just witnessed one of the most corrupt elections in history from a party that spent the entire last 4 years trying to destroy the sitting President instead of trying to help the country.  The country has been divided since Obama and isnt going to get any better.  One day soon, the left is going to push hard enough that the silent majority isnt going to be quite so quiet anymore.  You thought America was out of control, the past few years, you aint seen nothing yet.  Just as soon as the next administration starts trying to implement their insane policies and start infringing upon the citizens rights and freedoms, this country is going to explode.

The United States is not a democracy, Cor.  It's a republic.  There are subtle differences between the two.  The framers of our Constitution were wise as visionary. James Madison, in The Federalist Papers, made the distinction. The republic form of government was thus chosen for our fledgling country.  Along with The Bill of Rights and Amendments to the Constitution, our form of government is clearly defined.

He also has been trying to get a stimulus bill passed quickly to help those unemployed because of the pandemic, but the Dems—specifically, Nancy Pelosi—have flat-out refused to consider anything the Republicans have put forth.

This old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said “I would like to withdraw £10”. The teller said to her, “for withdrawals less than £100, please use the ATM."
The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her, “Those are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.
The old lady remained silent for a few seconds and handed her card back to the teller and said “Please help me withdraw all the money I have.” The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her “You have £300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow?
The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to £3000. “Well, please let me have £3000 now.” The teller kindly handed £3000 very politely and with a smile to her.
The old lady put £10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit £2990 back into her account.
And moral of this story is....
Don’t try to be smart with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill.

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s a the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

(I'm still sorting out how to downsize these images. . .)

This is a screenshot of a text from a friend that is a classic example of how people in North Dakota flatten their vowels. It was posted in response to a YouTube video shared on a group chat that I was tempted to post here so people could actually hear the inflection, but it was really too long.

My daughters were teased in elementary school for pronouncing "flag" properly during the Pledge of Allegiance. Everyone here says "fleg." And I was completely confused by someone who said "dekkid" once. When she mentioned the rosary I realized she meant "decade."

Of course, everyone here thinks I'm the one with the accent.  :)

OK, now I'm re-editing that original post, which touched on the backwardness of North Dakota. A coworker today (male, older) ended our conversation with "Good girl!"

I'm 53. Sheesh!

It's a good thing I'm not a feminist, because I'm pretty sure one of my more forward-thinking friends would have clocked him.  ha2ha

Can you imagine if tomorrow I said "Good boy"? 

I shared the anecdote with my daughters, who were appropriately horrified.  ;D

And no, I am not one of those women who barks at men who dare to be courteous and hold a door. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I think I said this on here just recently, but I really gotta get back East. Or at least out of the Great Plains for a bit.

My daughters caught up with their brother (my estranged son) last night and grilled him about any girls he may have met (and reported back to me, his anxious mom). Apparently he'd been chatting with a girl in his class and was considering asking her out, but the other day in class she raised her hand and made a comment that referred to "toxic masculinity," and that clinched it: She won't be getting a call.  ha2ha

I hope you got the "blended bifocals."  If not, you'll look like Mrs. Suskowitz.

Who's Mrs. Suskowitz?  She was my elementary school principal who was forever asking me why I misbehaved and was sent to her office by my teacher.  After a while, I got tired of answering that same question and instead of going to her office, I would leave the school and go to the park across the street.  My teachers were too stupid to ever check if I reported to the principal's office.  When school let out, I would go home with the others.  Anyway "Suskie." as I called her, had these bifocals with lines which looked funny.  I used to tell her that.  She also wore her glasses on a chain which also looked ridiculous.  But it went with her "ensemble" of wearing her sweater draped over her shoulders. 

That school was good for a laugh alright!   ;D

Well, I wasn't meek in elementary school, Kathy.  It was a parochial school so I had a bit more latitude than those in the public school system.  Some of my classmates were just as stupid as the principal and some of my teachers.  Take, for instance, Naomi.  She was the classic teacher's pet.  She was also a fire drill marshal with her white crossing guard belt and badge.  She once pulled me out of line for talking during a fire drill.  She took out her little spiral notebook and pen and said "I'm reporting you.  What's your name?"  "You've been in my class for five years.  You know my name," I responded.  She asked me for my name again and so I grabbed her little spiral notebook and threw it down a three-story stairwell.  She started crying and so I said to her "What kind of marshal cries?  You're pathetic!" 

Of course she ran to Suskie's office to "tell on me" and, of course, Suskie had me report to her office.  I told the principal that Naomi was a crybaby and that she should find another fire marshal.  Suskie told me to sit on the bench outside her office for the rest of the day.  An hour later, she had to leave her office and told me that she'd better find me sitting on the bench when she got back.  What a stupid request that was.  I left the building and hung out in the park the rest of the day.

There was a limit to how much stupidity I could put up with in one day.   :)
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

This brought back a poignant memory of when my son, at around age 4, found a plain key ring element (just a metal ring, the part you put your keys on) in the garden and brought it inside and gave it to me because he thought it was an actual (jewelry) ring.

I still have it. It's one of the sweetest things, if not the sweetest thing, anyone has ever given me.

Random thought tonight.  Life is a series of moments.  Some of them are never experienced, perhaps not even lived.  Yet I occasionally awake from my reverie and discover that I am still conscious and perhaps sentient.  I speculate that if I could collect all of those forgotten moments and put them in a jar that it might look as though it contained nothing at all.

Just a quick update on this, and then I promise to drop this topic forever. My son blocked me yet again on Instagram. I'm on my fourth fake account. I guess that's it. So much for the hoped-for rapprochement. Now I know why my older daughter didn't respond to my gleeful texts the other night. She must have had an inkling.

I worked Liverpool in the 70s and there was no Beatles tours or anything like now.
In fact it was like they didn't acknowledge the Beatles. They even demolished the cavern.
I went to find Johns house once and I walked down Penny Lane. I found the shelter on the roundabout.

Loco Mo, your question reminded me of a query someone submitted to a Catholic priest in my diocese who has a website to which he encourages people to submit questions. Someone asked him if he thought God could make a rock so heavy that even he (i.e., God) could not lift it. I believe his reply was "no."

Normandie:  Usually when people ask a question like this, they have a goal to disable the speaker's position as to the validity of God's Existence.  If He can't do something, no matter how illogical, then He is not God.

To my mind, these are word games that serve to obfuscate an issue.  And the implied arguments tend to be circular.  That means if you ask a question, another question will be asked in return, rather than answered in the first place.

You might rephrase the question like this:  "Can God do something that He cannot do?"  Does the questioner really expect a sensible answer to an illogical question?

I’d heard that. Seems very odd now. Apparently there was resistance from the city council even to put some formal commemoration of them, like a statue. As if at that point Liverpool was embarrassed by them. And now it’s Beatle city. When I was there ten years ago everywhere you looked there were tour buses, shops, yellow submarine tours etc etc.

I do remember back in the 70s Liverpool had a very left wing socialist council.
I'm not sure whether that would affect things Beatles but maybe the mayor hated their music.
You would think even a left-wing government would have taken advantage of the tourism industry not just the Beatles but Brian Epstein's stable of acts.

This reminded me of when I'd bought a floppy sunhat to wear on a beach on a vacation back in 2014. I made the mistake of asking my kids "Do I look totally stupid in this?" 

Big mistake.

Monica, who was 16 at the time, promptly replied, "Well, you don't look TOO stupid."

I was like, "Well—OK, then! As long as I don't look TOO stupid."

I'm not only a Beatles geek and an ocean liner geek but also a psychology geek. In addition to just a geek in general.

Fortunately, my older daughter is a psychology geek, too. It's so great. We have these great nerdy psychology discussions. ;D She starts graduate school in a week or so. I can't wait to see  what her textbooks are.

Actually, I need to watch the Stanford Prison Study movie (2015), of which Zimbardo disapproved. My Netflix queue is getting a bit unwieldy. Beatles first, though!

Interesting. I've never heard that, but the study is really presented only as a quick topic in social psychology courses, much like Stanley Milgram's famous obedience project. And I haven't heard much about the movie, just that Zimbardo wasn't happy with it.

My curiousity was piqued enough by your statement that I ordered Zimbardo's book The Lucifer Effect. Given that my job is in psychology publishing I don't tend to gravitate toward that for pleasure reading, so it's likely going to go at the bottom of my to-be-read stack.

Quick postscript: I did find this article—https://www.insidehighered.com/print/news/2018/06/20/new-stanford-prison-experiment-revelations-question-findings—which references the book Story of a Lie by Thibault Le Texier. But I view Le Texier and his book with skepticism because, after studying and working in the field of psychology publishing for more than 30 years, I've never heard of him.

Hmm, I should probably email my older daughter all this instead of going on and on here.  ;)

What a disturbing subject!  The cruelty of people toward other people (and other species).

Movies which show scenes of that nature seem to draw audiences.  There are clips including click bait which reference scenes like these on YouTube so there are obviously viewers who want to see them.  People in some cases exonerate themselves from their voyeuristic interest by disapproving of the content in their comments.

What is especially terrifying to me is that there are people who would want to enact these sadistic scenes for real if they could find the means to do so.  I hate the idea that contrived movie scenes serve to tempt and encourage their sadistic fantasies.

There's something about the subject of cruelty which is deeply engaging yet deeply depressing.  And there is also an attendant feeling of futility or hopelessness about it.  It's as if there is a propensity for it (which shouldn't exist at all) and a paralyzing sense that the Universe itself is utterly indifferent to it and to any suffering we or any other life forms may experience.

Loco Mo, an even more unsettling experiment, this one on obedience to authority, was conducted by Yale's Stanley Milgram. You can read a simple, easy-to-digest description of it, and see a video clip from the actual experiment, here: https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html (https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html)

Solomon Asch also conducted an interesting and related study, this one on conformity: https://www.simplypsychology.org/asch-conformity.html (https://www.simplypsychology.org/asch-conformity.html)

Thanks, Normandie.  I remember reading about and discussing the shock experiments years ago in a Sociology course (I think).

I didn't think about this too much at the time.  But as I've gotten older, I think I've acquired more empathy overall.  I think that moral development of an individual necessarily incorporates empathy and perhaps altruism (or the consideration of it, at the very least).  The truth is I don't particularly remember classmates being unduly shocked by the results of the shock experiments.  I think there was more of an attitude of recognition, that somehow we are aware of this propensity to act with seemingly innate cruelty.  Do we sense subconsciously within ourselves that given the right triggers and bells that we would act this way, too?

I can sense the power tripping appeal of suddenly becoming an authoritarian figure over someone else.  I can see this especially in a heady, impulsive, and immature young man.  I remember hearing that twenty-something year old males are the most dangerous in terms of acting upon violent and homicidal tendencies because of the lack of empathy and positive regard for other people.  I acknowledge that there are exceptions.

I will revisit the subject per your links when convenient.  I will say this Beatles Forum can keep a viewer/reader very busy.  There's a lot of worthwhile content here.

Normandie:  I don't want to dwell too much on this topic but I have been thinking about "empathy" the last few days.  How does this differ from compassion, pity, sympathy and even sympathetic pain?

This would definitely be worth a paper.  If I were back in school, I'd do one for sure.  I'm thinking about 10 pages worth or so.  If you are an astute observer of human behavior and expressed personality traits, you can sense or see manifestations of these various components of feeling with regard to other people's pain and suffering.

Well, I don't think I'm going to expand on this here on this Beatles Forum.  But I am very triggered by this topic.

In the meantime, let's celebrate and appreciate our ability to feel what others may feel and let's try to expand upon our capacity for that.  I admit this is not much of a post but I wanted to write it anyway.

Loco Mo, I could write pages about this topic but, given all the rambling I've done on here about ocean liners and my son, I will spare you all today and keep it short.  ;)

In short, empathy is the capacity to identify with that which another person is experiencing. That's how it differs from sympathy. For example, I can sympathize with someone who has lost a sibling, but I can't truly empathize because I have never experienced that, specifically, myself. So all I can offer, to the best of my ability, is compassion. (Pity is another story altogether.) On the other hand, I can empathize with someone who has had to make the grueling decision to put a beloved pet down, or a woman who has lost a child to miscarriage, because I have in fact experienced those traumas, and so I have a sense of what that person is going through.

I admit this is not much of a post but I wanted to write it anyway.

That's never stopped me.  ha2ha  And it is a good post!
Title: Re: Random Thoughts

Thanks, Normandie.  If you ever feel up to writing about it, I'd love to read your definition of pity.  Isn't it similar to sympathy?

Okay, we can let this topic lie for now.  Thanks for considering it.

BTW:  I have noted that politically correct speakers use the word "empathy" overwhelmingly to the exclusion of pity and sympathy.  Those last two words seem to have negative connotations.
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Normandie on September 04, 2021, 05:58:38 PM

Hi again, Loco Mo; I'm going to take a stab at answering this before I log off for awhile.

Definitions from the dictionary are, in my opinion, not terribly helpful, so I'll offer another example, which I hope will help. And you are correct: Pity is a rather pejorative term.

Sympathy involves an element of empathy, whereas pity does not. That may sound confusing, but I'll wager you and the other forum members know what I mean. For example, I can feel sympathy toward native North Dakotans who want to travel to different states and countries but do not have the financial means to do so, but I pity people here who have no desire to leave this region and broaden their cultural horizons.

Does this make sense? If not, I'm sure someone else can more clearly elucidate the variations among empathy, sympathy, and pity.

Also, you are correct in that a lot of people prefer the term empathy, even when it is not technically correct. Empathy requires the capability to identify with what someone has experienced or is experiencing.

Im afraid Normandie has left us, she is apparently working very long hours and decided to take a break from the forum.
She wanted her account to be deactivated so she wasnt continually tempted to post. We can reactivate her account when she decides to come back, which hopefully she will do (she has said that she will come back).

What Rudy Giuliani was to the NYC area after the 9/11 attacks, Charles Moose was to the terror-stricken DC area during the 2002 sniper shootings. I feel this as an almost personal loss. Will never forget those weeks. RIP Chief Moose.

I didn't want to post this in the "George—My Sweet Lord" thread and interrup that discussion, plus my comment here is off topic. But wow, in that Far Out article you linked, nimrod, the following statement jumped out like a clarion call: "Floyd, a black man from Minnesota, was murdered by white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin when knelt [sic] on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds during an arrest."

That right there would have been the basis for a successful libel suit. This article is dated June 25, 2020, with no updates noted. Chauvin was not officially found guilty until April 20, 2021.

Not to be a downer but the first person I've known personally to pass from Covid happened yesterday.  My wife's Aunt, yes, she was ~ 86 but pretty healthy woman until after Thanksgiving when her largely unvaccinated family came for the holiday.  The extended family is in a battle of blame.  That side was/is extremely pro-trump while my mother in law's side of the family is very liberal.  The woman's husband, very much to the right, will probably have a tough time reconciling all of it while mourning.

. . . and for the strife. These are certainly divisive times we're living in.

As if the political strife wasn't enough in this country, the layer of 2 years of Covid disagreements piled on top with no end in sight. 

I found a t-shirt that I wear sometimes, simply it says-  "Be a good human" on it.  I get lots of comments and positivity from strangers when they see it.  Despite differences, the sentiment is lost on society right now (very generally speaking).

Well day 9 of a messy divorce.  Wife has been cheating on me for 6 months and left and moved in with the guy.  30 years tossed away like it was nothing.  She chose alcohol and money over the her husband, kids, and granddaughter.  The only people that truly cared and loved her.  I cant eat or sleep and have been living off of coffee and cigarettes.  My daughter is getting married on tuesday the 22nd.  What should have been a special and happiest day of her life has now been robbed due to my wifes weakness and selfishness.  My daughter had to take 3 days to decide to even invite her, but relented so that she wouldnt feel regret later in life.  As it is, my daughter gave her the stipulation that she has to sit in the back row with Scotty (pastors husband and cop) and will be escorted out immediately after the ceremony.  My son is going to tell her that she will need to make an appointment to see her granddaughter and that the visits must be supervised by him or her mother.  She will never be allowed to be alone with her again because of her alcoholism and the type of company she keeps now.  My wife used to be a good person, but she is nothing but pure evil now.  Her only girlfriend is an ex-prostitute, drug addict that is 20 years younger than her.  Satan has ahold of her and wont let go.

Sorry for the downer post, but i'm lost right now and I dont know how i'm going to get through this.

Todd,

I've come to know you over the past sixteen years.  I've learned that you're a strong and religious individual.  A man who has worked hard to provide the best for his family.   I've watched your family grow and grow up and it appears that they take after you in so many ways.  Together you will have the strength to face the challenges ahead.  Please don't think that these were thirty years just tossed away.  Your fine family is evidence of that.

Take care of yourself, my friend.  Your family is depending on you.

Barry

Thanks all for the nice thoughts and words.  She came up today to get some of her stuff and I had a chat with her.  I told her I would like for us to remain friends and civil towards each other as we have a granddaughter together and would be running into each other at events and around town.  I also told her that she has been a horrible person for the past year or so and a poor mother to her kids.  She has told us and others that she didnt care about us and just wanted out of our house no matter the cost.  The alcohol has a hold on her and I told her to please get some help before its to late.  She couldnt deny it nor did she try.  I did my best to be the bigger man and told her that she would always be welcome at the house to see her granddaughter and if she ever needed anybody to talk to or if she was in any trouble that my phone was always open.  Man was it hard to say those things instead of blasting her with the cruel words she deserves.

Sorry to keep posting about my life drama and bringing everybody down, but it makes me feel better.  No reason to respond as i'm just babbling on.

Hey, tkitna.  I am sorry to hear about the breakup of your marriage.  I would think 30 years together would equal "together forever," but I guess not.  It's always shocking to me when I hear of long-term marriages breaking up.  From the little I know; I've learned that sometimes marriages crash after the children grow up and move away to start their own lives independent of mom and dad.  Also, some people seem to "re-discover" themselves and feel like they have to move on - minus previous relationship bonds, etc.  About two years ago, I learned that a former co-worker's long-term marriage ended.  He said he never saw it coming.  I always envied people with relationships but I'm not at all sure what would have happened if I hooked up with someone in my life.  In some ways, I think marriage would have been very hard and trying for me.  Oh, I just don't know how you can share a life with someone 24-7 while living in the same physical premises, too.  It's like you never get a break or any personal space away from them.  Then, if your partner is jealous and possessive - OUCH!  Anyway, I just want to offer you my heartfelt sympathies.  Stay sane and well if at all possible while undergoing this major painful transition in your life.

Been going through old wedding photos, trying to weed out ones that someone in my family might like (e.g., my paternal grandparents, for my dad).

What a colossally stupid decision. I should have chucked the whole lot into the trash.

I tossed every single photo of my soon to be ex in the trash.  Even the family photos.  Ironically, she took the wedding photos for some odd reason.  Thats about all she took.  Crazy woman left so much of her crap that its been exhausting trying to get rid of it.  I have 6 garbage bags full of her junk on the breeze way right now and that was only from one closet.

I dont want a single thing in my house that reminds me of that monster when i'm done. 
Title: Re: Random Thoughts
Post by: Loco Mo on June 18, 2022, 01:47:41 PM
tkitna:  Taking your wedding photos makes me think she still has some feelings for you.  As for the other photos, I think it's okay that you saved some for your dad and grandparents.  They may treasure them for different reasons whereas for you those photos are causing a lot of emotional pain.  Don't regret your decisions.  You're probably doing what you need to do to cope as best as you can.  As time passes, you are likely to have mood swings.  Although there's a lot of hurt, the ongoing anger is likely the biggest elephant in the room.  I think anger is the most challenging emotion to deal with in some constructive way.  Your inner anger can destroy you if it continues unchecked and without resolution or closure.  I'm not a therapist but I worked at a crisis hotline for 5 years long ago and did volunteer work for several mental health organizations.  Relationship break-ups can deeply impact your self-esteem.  "Why would anyone betray me or leave me?  Why would someone stop loving me?"  It hurts me to think about these questions even though my remembered hurt is from decades ago.  Try to find peace and whatever scraps of happiness you can (don't resist the impulse to feel happy occasionally and don't guilt-trip yourself about it).   Peace - healing - love - always.

Years ago, I decided I wanted to be a doctor,
so I took the entrance exam to go to medical
school.

One of the many questions on human anatomy
asked was to rearrange the letters PNEIS" into
the name of "an important human body part which
is most useful when erect."

Those who answered "spine" are now doctors

The rest of us are posting jokes on social media.

And there's no more falling in love in my life.  That part of me died probably 30 or 40 years ago.  Yeah, love's for the young IMO.  Let it be.  Love's primarily a headache anyway.

Besides, there's too many men always competing for the same woman.  So, you have to hope she picks you for some insane reason.  Oftentimes, the guys picked don't look like there's anything special about them at all.

Well, now this just doesn't seem fair. I just ran into—well, virtually—an old friend on the ocean liner forums -- ironically, he sent a "follow" request to the fake Instagram account I've been using in a futile attempt to keep tabs on my son. I felt that it would be duplicitous to not let him know who I was, so I  awkwardly dm'd him and explained why I was using a fake account.

I've resigned myself to being a nerd.  glassesslip


 I assured him that I am in fact the Kathy he knows the ocean liner world and not some strange catfisher. (He said he'd been catfished before. (:angel:) Ewww, like I would ever do that anyway.

Thanks, Barry! Although that theory has been disproven, as has the notion of raising all of the watertight doors in the bowels of the ship to ensure an "even" level of water/flooding. I don't have the know-how at hand to dispute this off the top of my head.  :) You're better off following Parks Stephenson.

Actually, my younger daughter is in nursing school, and I was telling her about the first nursing textbook I edited. Each chapter focused on a particular physical disaster. The first chapter was on the 1900 Galveston hurricane, and the second chapter focused on the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire in Boston (https://bostonfirehistory.org/the-story-of-the-cocoanut-grove-fire/ (https://bostonfirehistory.org/the-story-of-the-cocoanut-grove-fire/)). After the latter, regulations were put into place that mandated that traditional doors flank every set of revolving doors. So that is another example of regulations that were put into place after a horrific tragedy.

Is that a real Marconi set, Barry? If so, and if you are at all interested, you should check out the work of Parks Stephenson:

Yes, the caption said it's a 4005 Marconi Spark Key as used on The Titanic.  Can you decipher the Morse Code?

I read the article.  I agree that with so few lifeboats there was very little that could be done.  The life boats would have to make several round trips between the two ships.  There wouldn't have been enough time for that.  Also, the Titanic was sinking and the Californian wouln't have been able to pull alongside the Titanic and evacuate the passengers nor did either ship have the equipment to do so.

That would be a "no."  ;)  I did learn it 'way back when, but its buried in the recesses of my brain. I'll have to look up a translation key when I get on top of my workload.

I read the article.  I agree that with so few lifeboats there was very little that could be done. 

Wow, do we actually agree on something, Barry?  ha2ha

I just clicked on a random article; I should have looked for something more specific.  If you have any interest in Marconi, you should check Parks's stuff out. I've basically dropped out of Encyclopedia Titanica since it moved most of the discussions to Facebook (although first I fled the site because some woman was getting all stalkerish on me), but IIRC he is involved in reconstructing the ship's Marconi room and apparatus, or something like that. He's dived on the ship and seen (or tried to see? my old brain is failing  ;)  the remains of that room.

I sure do.   :angel:

When we lived in Michigan and registered our car, I told my then-husband I wanted CQD MGY as the license plate, if it was available. He scoffed at that—"Why wouldn't it be available?"—and it WAS available, but only because the person who had that plate had let their registration lapse. Score!

Then in Virginia, I ordered WM TRNR in honor of the Lusitania's captain, and he (my ex) said, "If anybody asks, I'm just going to tell them he's some obscure sports figure." Honestly, what a stick in the mud!  ;)

Now that I'm old(er) and grouchier, I no longer pay for vanity plates.

CQD MGY would have been a cool license plate!

Was the scene in A Night To Remember accurate where they switched to "a new" distress call, ie. SOS?

Not really. SOS was first used by a Cunard liner in 1909, I believe. That's a common misconception, though (i.e., that Titanic was the first to use it). Along with the fact that CQD stood for "Come quickly; danger."

And, yes, I know that CQ means "all stations" and the D that followed meant "Distress."  I had a CB license when I was a teenager.  If I needed to check the strength of my signal, I would say "Hello CQ...Radio Check"

I've been trying to think of what to get my older daughter when she graduates in December with her master's degree. I was considering an art-oriented music box such as this:

https://www.musicboxattic.com/copy-of-stunning-van-gogh-starry-night-musical-jewelry-box-sf-music-box-co/ (https://www.musicboxattic.com/copy-of-stunning-van-gogh-starry-night-musical-jewelry-box-sf-music-box-co/)

I'm posting the link because it comes with a long list of music options that I thought people might be interested in, including several Beatles songs (e.g., "I Want to Hold Your Hand"—how completely sweet!  icon_love).

I found some of the options rather funny; for example, "If I Only Had a Brain" from the Wizard of Oz.  ha2ha  I know people get attached to songs for myriad reasons, but that one made me laugh. It would make a good joke gift for her if it weren't for the cost.

(That's odd: The URL indicates it's a "Starry Night" music box, but it leads to the one I was considering, which features Monet's water lilies.)

Awww. That reminds me of a couple of years ago when I was moving out of the three-bedroom apartment the kids and I had shared, after they all had moved out. I came across a stray Nerf bullet behind the couch and had a lump in my throat that felt like the size of a boulder.

It's such a contrasting situation: On the one hand, as a parent one is happy to see their children go out into the world on their own and be successful, but boy is it hard to let them go.

We won't be able to see the conjunction too well here in the Western Hemisphere because it occurs in the pre-dawn sky but those of you in Europe and Australia should be able to view it easily.

Oh, my, Moogmodule, that is a tearjerker par excellence. I have tears streaming down my face. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.


Wow yeah, a tear jerker.


I found another heart-tugging song; ironically, this was the background music on a TikTok clip my younger daughter sent me. It uses female pronouns, but male pronouns would work just as well. I was brushing away tears listening to this.
