'Sobriety' reminds me of some word I should've learned in Spanish today. o.o;
Once there was a way
To get back homeward.

I'm satying over night in the school for this 30 Hour Famine thing, and my crush is right in te same building... urrrgggghhh.... wish...

i am also inferring your crush has very good taste in music?
Perhaps.
Just remember it's not the size of the pencil that matters, it's how you write.

*shivers* Maybe I don't want to know.
Warning- this post is expletive-loaded.
I dunno. He seems middle-to-upperclass, though.
My stomach feels like i've been kicked in the PENIS. oww.
Mairi, I don't like rap music either!!
I hate my screwed up-family
I hate my nonexistant love life
I hate my looks
I hate my ineptitude for math
I hate being broke
I hate exams
I hate not having enough CDs
I hate being young
I hate rap music
I hate the establishment
I hate Winnie from the Wonder Years
I hate Dubya
There are a lot of things I hate... but I sure do love the Beatles!!! (grin)
i live in fla.......
If you haven't seen Rocky Horror at midnight in a theatre full of freaks, you haven't seen it at all.
You get a holiday for Valentines day?
Canada. ;)
We do get off for Victoria Day, though. :P
Did you just call me a yuppie?? No way. That was he baby boomer generation of the 60's that turned into yuppies. Not my generation! No way!
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.
IMHO, some of the people here who claim to be Beatles fans don't have a clue.
I do not have any idea about anything, el sid
Funny to see that the number of bots is suddenly increasing.
because you don't know me personally.
[...]The thread isn't so random anymore.[...]
I love how Ozzy Ozbourne loves The Beatles....(Just saw TV doc. Planet Orange)
^when I was a kid it was marbles. And I don't know who decided when "marble season" started, but out of the blue one day every kid would be locked in a life or death struggle. Then about a month later it would all stop just as suddenly.
Just remembering the simple joy a bag of marbles could give a kid. Nostalgic sniff.
[...] You know, one day I'm going to build that army. Then maybe my life would have had some meaning.Don't go that way, Kevin. Think about Saddam and those people.
^Indica, I'm quite sure that your signature is the biggest at the moment (bigger than An Apple Beatle's). Good one, anyway. ;)
haha, I apologise. If it's rather annoying
There will be different cheers 3 seconds apart!!!! lolDouble party!! You're lucky, britlanders.
I don't know how to change the size of my sig.
Well, if App sends me the file, I could re-size in adobe. But it really isn't that big to fuss around with.
Just visit forums and noticed there is no one but me. Strange thing :( I didn't think it could happend. All members and guests leaved...I was not here???
Just missed you mate. ;)
Why does Roger Rabbit have a human wife? I mean, Jessica Rabbit isn't actually a rabbit.
Think about that.
I was not here???
Indeed, that's very strange! I thought Raxo actually lived here!
I feel so sorry, Sandra :B ... I'm going to listen to The Two Sides of him: A and B (it was on my al-bumlist for toNice) so ... where's that thread of yours?
This place is kind of dead lately anyway. Boo hoo.
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'.
This place is kind of dead lately anyway. Boo hoo.
Another thing: I've been reading some of the posts from a year ago. A lively place then? More than now? A lot of bashing and people leaving the board, that's what was happening. I prefer 'kind of dead'.
And I'm not THAT upset about Myers playing Moon. Just midly annoyed. I was wanting some opinions is all. Honest.
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.
He's interested... or intrigued... or at least not completely turned off/scared of me. I feel sexy. No, better than that. I feel MAGICAL!
My winning ticket:
Birmingham - Arsenal: X

Any news you wanna share?
LOL, not really... just that the guy I like doesn't hate me. I think.
Well, that sounds like a start of a long and trustfull relationship... Is it that everybody else hates you? Can't imagine that. A couple of weeks ago someone on this forum proposed to you!

Ohh, it's not that anyone hates me, it's just that THIS guy in particular maybe likes me or maybe doesn't... but he doesn't DISlike me, is what I mean.
Damn high school language, it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Wanna move to the USA or Canada for living...
the north is enjoyable and the winter isn't too bad. you get used to it after awhile
I don't think too that the winter is a problem :) I like winter. Here, on the north of Russia, during last month mean daily temperature was -31F (-35C)!!! Now is -38F. Have to admin it's really cold! I don't remember such cold winter, if maybe 10 years ago...
canada owns your face off!
Mairi, have you ever been to the States? What is it you guys own anyway?! ;D
Haha yeah I've been to Boston and Florida...
What is it with Canada, what with our gay rights and free health care? But anyway, when I graduate want to move someplace where it never snows, preferably California.
We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first.
The guy I like listens to punk rock AND the Andrews Sisters... (inlove2)
Yeah, maybe if you move all the way left I will move up there.

Hey, I think gay people can married in a couple of our states! ...
YAH!!! That's actually one of my pet peeves... using the term "America" to refer to just the one country, that is.
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.
You see, no other country has America in their title. ... By the way we call ourselves Americans, not United States of Americans ... So it's pretty much separate from what we identify as North America and South America.
... Plus, I know many stupid Americans, so it's no surprise to me that they're out there.
Why not just United States of North America ... you call yourselves Americans and that's the first step ... There's another America apart from the North and the South ones or am I wrong? ... let's not talk about stupid people please ... There's good in everyone ... everybody's good ... the matter is when and how long for ...
I've deleted some parts ofwhat you've said, Sandra, in the quoted to make my reply easy-er. :P
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.
Way to own the thread, Sandra! :)
we could live for a thousand years, but if i hurt you, i'll make wine from your tears...
anyone know where those lyrics r from?
...
And Raxo, I don't think anyone was generalizing. We were just discussing. People shouldn't be afraid to talk about these things. That's what OPENS up minds. That's how you learn. 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.
Gee, health food stores are expensive. You'd think hippies would have less money to spend. I mean, it's not like they have jobs or anything.

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.
um, actually if you look at it. 75% of all divorces are after 5 years of marriage and most are between 20-35 years old.
baby boomers are now...50 something?

Even Jesus hates you. (not you TheMasterOfGoingFaster!) :)
IHow the hell could that guy from Faithless ever get famous? He can't sing or rap, he's ugly and he's got no stage personality to speak of. And his band sucks donkey balls.
Being single sucks. People who say they like being single are liars.
I have to disagree.
I wonder how much money I'll have left over after I buy my contacts... hopefully enough to buy the new Bob Dylan album... and a Cher doll off of eBay. Yeah, a Cher doll will be AWESOME!!
Lol didn't know anyone else had heard of panic!
What are the best kinks songs?
My favorites are Waterloo Sunset and Better Things.
Hey Kevin man, my mom sells mobile phones!
And i thought we were all classic rock fans?
LOL

But man do they look good. They definately light up my day.
whores!
whores!
Men in uniform are sexy.
So are women!!!! ;D
I like a boy in uniform (school uniform)
Cause not everything is uniform....
I liked them before all of you, and i know your all not REAL pippettes fans, because you only got into them through their first album
I have no idea about who you're talking about, sadly.
Thank you very much.
I saw them on TV a while ago and really liked what I heard. But I couldn't remember their name. Do they have an album out and is it any good?
Uniforms and beatings. Never did me any harm.
I always thought New Zealanders was a harmless nation.
hahahaha!
...is it bad that I want to sign the cricket bat?
I'm sure Al can remember the days of his school beatings ;) ;D
This is Bill Cosby coming at cha with music and fun
If you're not careful, you may learn something before it's done!
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)
Okay, that's enough randomness for now. I'm in a weird mood obviously.
ur old
LOL (grin)
Hey! (angry1) You better watch out I have the power to ban you now you know!!!! Muh hah hah! (devil5)This is why I would NEVER teach high school. You teens are NASTY!!! (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.

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.
Besides, if that was a man, you would be praising her sexual prowess.
No I wouldn't, Mairi. Would you like me to go into a rant about how much I hate those big, manipulative jocks who take advantage of women? You don't, it'd take about 7 pages.

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.
Five!! Those are damn good odds. I'm off to the mall!
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.
Twenty times? Are you kidding? I think you've got that backwards! 80 guys are gonna turn down free sex with a reasonably attractive woman? Who are these guys and why don't I know them?
Sundays suck >:(

Mine don't! ;D

I bit late for someone who's recovering...
Well on the mend now - I couldn't get out of bed for about a week though!
How come Al has got only 6 posts? Did I miss anything? Last time he was at 7.000-something ??)
Welcome back theend, The End!!! :)
I zero'd myself! :)
That sounds painful.
I used to have it on my comp, but not anymore...
I zero'd myself! :)
I'm an IDIOT!!!! I had my chance, and I wasted it!!! I hate myself right now.
Five!! Those are damn good odds. I'm off to the mall!
what did you do?
Don't hate yourself, it's not worth it.
This guy that I like, and I think he likes me too- I had the perfect chance to kiss him, but I let the moment slip by. Now I don't know what I'm gonna do.
*sighs* I know, I'm angsty.
That made me more happy to read then you ever know.
My girlfriend is giving me a Che Guavera teddy bear for Valentine's Day!
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.
You're confusing the theoretical contribution with the misplacement of the theories.

I remember having a Che Guevara debate around here not too long ago. I can't find it though. A Che teddy bear? Hmm. I find that disturbing on many levels. But to each his own. Every rebellious teen has to go through a Che phase I guess. Good luck finding the truth one day. ;D
Don't read below, I'm just talking to feel better:
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.
"To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredon!" -Che Guevara
Hope you feel better now, miss Nousha. Go out with friends, have a drink and a laugh.
:K)
Thank you Gergana and a happy Valentine.
You old charmer!That's what we love of Bobber!

and i have confirmation, she has broken up with him. i feel bad, and awkward, i mean now she knows what i feel about her, i dont want it to be awkward with her, or maybe she could actually love me, who knows. its a whole new deck of cards now
[...] Or am I just reading too much into things?Don't waste time and be brave (so you are, girl ;) ), if he's a good friend he will understand your decision!!! I wish you all the best :) ... hope you'll be happier than ever in a few hours!!! ;) (hope you'll let us know if it all work fine ;D)
Yesterday we were in the hallway and he was playing guitar and singing all these really sweet songs. My brain kept saying "Do something, you fool! Do something!" but my body wouldn't respond! argh!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)
listen to raxoP.S. somedude210 was right!!! ;D
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?
most people at my school are bloody, sex-crazed, drugged-up, rich idiots

These are the first bars of Brian Wilson's original hand-written music sheet for "God Only Knows", my all-time favorite song. The sun is taken from the cover of the "Smile" album.
Ben Stiller was at my school today! He looked very cool. It was the big excitement for the day. All the kids were running around yelling Ben Stiller! I had to give them a big speech about treating these people normal. Meanwhile all the teachers were running around whispering Ben Stiller! I'm such a hypocrite.
would it be a bad thing if i wrote a fictional book about someone caught up in a school shooting?

Depends if they were the one with the shooter?
no no, its about a kid and his friend stuck in the middle of the school during a shooting as they try to make it out alive

What do you mean by significant?
I hate gym class. It's so demeaning.
Ever feel like one of those weirdos on an internet forum?
That new Christina Aguilera song is astonishingly good. I'm surprised mainstream radio even plays something so retro and awesome.
really? what's it called? I've heard good things about her a lot recently
Nice to seee you've given yourself a day off on the 24th!
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
got myself a dilemma again, and it involves women again (funny how it always end up like that)
Same here... Life would be so much easier if you could just decide to stop being in love with someone that you can't have or just shouldn't be in love with for another reason...
the one im with is very intelligent
Most people mourn the loss of their youth, but I for one am very happy that my head is finally winning it's long battle with my genitalia.
There's a difference between being in love and just being horny.
The two are not disconnected.
Not entirely. But I think the sex is one of this 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?
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)
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.
Better be careful with intelligent women.Better advice I've never heard. *cackles and rubs hands, careful not to dislodge the strings that manipulate* ;)
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.
^I once googled "granny porn" by mistake and was suprised by the outcome. They're definately a generation on the move.
Then again I could just be a mysogonistic old f*cker desperately trying to find something to blame other than myself for my deteriorating sex drive and complete inability to find someone to fall in love with.
lol, how do you google granny porn by accident?!

That's exactly what my girlfriend said. Buggered if I could think of an answer for her either.
Alright, you were trying to organize some kind of party, weren't you? These guys organize extravagant parties, nothing special. You might have been looking for this: [url]http://www.expornstar.com/[/url]
Well, I wouldn't have said it in those exact words, but since you say so yourself... ;) ;) ;)
But seriously... I think love is something you shouldn't analyze or try to understand... Sure, you can probably find an explation for it by studying the human brain or our evolution... But sometimes it's better to just go with the flow, and just enjoy things.
so all is well currently in the land of somedude and the somedudess ;DYay! This was, after all, the original topic. ;D
Yay! This was, after all, the original topic. ;D
Kevin, have you read Before the Dawn by Nicholas Wade? He covers a lot of interesting, fairly recent genetics developments. Of course, he also devotes sufficient time to the bonobos and their love life. ... Well, I enjoyed it! Cheers.
Oh my. I just watched the movie "To Sir, With Love" and I think I now have a monster crush on Sidney Poitier....
So you're only half happy?
And a permanent contract it is! ;DCONGRATS, Joost!!! :D
i am randomly deciding how to be spontaneously random ;D
CONGRATS, Joost!!! :D
And a permanent contract it is! ;D
Sure. Did you expect anything else? ;D There goes your freedom.
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.
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.
even fire you for no reason, at any time during the first 6 months.
[...]I reckon having been part of this forum for a little while, I would pass with flying colours!)
im so happy, i just got home from a wonderful evening with her. dinner and a movie...woo ;D
AAAH!!!! I'm so happy!!!! My mom got a job today!!
good! Because weren't you having problems deciding who to go out with out of two girls or something? Seems you have it sorted good for you :)
Nyone catch the finale of American Idol? The last 10 minutes or so were spent BUTCHERING Beatles songs. They had all the past winners and non winners come out and completely ruin Beatles songs. 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.
Just five more days at work... Then I have almost 4 weeks off... And 12 days from now I'll be flying to Mexico... :)
I would but I heard they sold out 20 years ago.

i'm coming down with something. *sings parody of song from RENT (i think, never watched it)* i feel sh*tty, oh so sh*tty, i feel sh*tty and witty and craaaaaaaaaap! oh but sh*t, is the way that it is...
Haven't been here in awhile. Working overtime all week. :P Be back soon, though. 8)Don't be long, Revolution, don't be looong! ;)
Dude, that's West Side Story, NOT Rent. It was made 45 years earlier. Sheesh. ::)
And yes, I am a musical theatre geek, but I don't care.
i prefer computers not theater, opera music isnt bad though ;D
Isn't it weird when you think you know someone, but then you find something out about them that alters your whole opinion of them?
I made the mistake of showing my students a Who video today. It's a mistake because after the video a bunch of them started banging their pencils on the desks Keith Moon style. It was funny for a second until a couple of pencils started flying into the air. Gotta love kids.

My new "Rexel Goliath" heavy duty stapler has arrived. It's a mean looking mother.
Love the Spanish - it's a "Grapadora de gruesos" and I must "mantiene dedos alejados de peligro." Gotcha!
It's a thrill a minute at your place.
At our age you take your plasure wherever you can find it.
Very true, unfortunately. My biggest thrill today is watching the cricket. If it's not raining that is. Oh, and my Porcupine Tree tickets turned up.

Final of Celebrity Master Chef
I watch all the cookery progs I can, as I do all the cooking around here. Never let anyone tell you that Danish women can cook.
Petit fours anyone?
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?!!!
the weather scares me... looks like the end of the world :-/
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? It may be changing, but it's not ending, and change is good. Do your bit and enjoy the nice weather. They want you to feel bad.
of course. you are what you eat. i'm having pork as well.
NOBODY'S HERE!!!!! >:(
Mexico was great... Maybe my best holiday ever.
Brian Wilson was great as well. I didn't think he could still play a show that good.
very good camera skills you have there :)
Canada day tomorrow... yaaay I'm happy
Holiday?
random thought: I despise hairdressers who barely listen to what you want and just cut off loads and make it so short you look like a complete idiot. (this just happened to me :'()

These hairdressers are evil-- especially when you yell, "That's too short!" and they say, "It's just fine." *threatens them with their own pointy scissors*

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.
I'm one post away from my 500th! :D
and now you are on 501 congratulations :)
random thought: it is annoying that you can NEVER tell if a pair of shoes are comfy until you have worn them for a day. With shoes, it seems first impressions can be very deceiving!
haha, i work in a shoe shop, giving people advice all the time, i am being trained on shoe measuring and fitting right now, make sure if going to a shop they will fit your shoes so you dont have heel slip and have the right width and stuff! also, u can normally return it after an amount of days if you only wear them on carpet! if I lived near u i would fit your shoes! LOL
502 now! ;D
I love Beatle people. If I don't end up marrying a Beatles person I'll be very dissapointed. Mainly because most people won't put up with all my Beatle nonsense and that could be very hard on the marriage. I'm delirious. :o But I do love Beatle people. Love, love, love. :K)
I was seriously dismayed at 1:30am this morning, when a friend I was with in a bar - who ought to know better - didn't know that Rocky Raccoon was a Beatles song!
1.30am on a Wednesday! I'm mildly suprised and disturbingly titilated. Wife still talking? (I take it that as you were discussing Beatle trivia this was a boys thing.)
Having a hangover at work is no fun.

i dont like my mom now. she basically told my girlfriend's mom that she wants me to break it off with my girlfriend before college so that i wont be "tied down" to her
the biggest problem i have with people is that they dont tell me things to my face, i end up hearing them from someone else. its really getting to be a pain. at least let me decide on my own...i think i still have my pair still
I love the way you put it! Thanks, now i know more about it! Anyway, there was a page about him in the papers... I didnt know his second name was Aaron... Anyroad up I had Are You Lonesome Tonight in my head for the entire morning....
And they couldn't spell Aaron. Apparently his birth certificate says 'Aron'
And they couldn't spell Aaron. Apparently his birth certificate says 'Aron'. Anyway, I'm sure I saw him playing pool down my local the other night.
I saw him riding Shergar around a grassy knoll the other day.
Apparently his trainer is Lord Lucan.
and i saw too god-awful Elvis film's yesterday to celebrate. :-/
How did he get away with all that crap, John Lennon was right -
Elvis died when he joined the army!
yeah, I know.
No shame. I'm an arsehole for saying this but he's an arsehole.
OK, big time nerd alert, but I'm as excited as a 9 year old on Christmas day right now...
I WROTE A LETTER TO AL JARDINE OF THE BEACH BOYS WITH A PHOTO OF MY BEACH BOYS TATTOO AND I JUST GOT A LETTER AND AN AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO BACK!
:) :) :) :) :)
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.
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.
So what now? ??)
Leave it.
Ah, chill it man. Plenty more shet in the toilet.
If I hear that flat buns commercial one more time I'm gonna smash my tv set in.
I'm p*ssed!
Argh, even my 14 year old cousin has a boyfriend. I FAIL AT LIFE.
Cheer up Mairi. That love won't be forever. And besides... you have us!
I don't have a girlfriend :-/ It doesn't mean oportunities won't come along in life! :)Thats the way, mat(t)e :). I dont have no love either... but the good thing about it is that I am free to flirt! ;) :P
My baby's 3773 miles away.
Thats the way, mat(t)e :). I dont have no love either... but the good thing about it is that I am free to flirt! ;) :P
Funny, whenever I say that I want a boyfriend people who have boyfriends say they are a pain... We can never be satisfied can we :-/
and matt 2, lol, all mothers or mothers in law can be a pain! ;) it will soon pass!
i keep saying that and keep telling my girlfriend that but im starting to lost hope....
*whistles! haha, what boyfriend would let u spend so much time online with us nutters! :DA boyfriend who is a Beatle fan....? :P Oi! Are you saying that you (as a male) have control over us (females)? Its not down to what he lets me do... its down to me innit? I'm just kidding. :D
Why do you never see white dog poo anymore?I know you're not expecting an answer, but I think it's due to the fact that in this enlightened day and age we don't leave dog crap lying around on the streets for ever anymore

I can understand some Scottish accents, and some people have even told me that I speak with a very slight Scottish accent (my dad is Scottish) but Aberdeen is one accent that I just cannot wrap my ears around.
I hate my name. Not only because it's always being misspelled/mispronounced but because people are always correcting me on how it should be spelled. WTF? I think I know how to spell my own name. And also, if someone isn't familiar with Gaelic, they might think it's an OMGUNIQUE! spelling of Mary or Marie.
Obviously, you haven't been watching enough cartoons.

I like your name. It's unique. Although I must admit that when I read it I always pronounce it Mary even though I know better.

Are you serious? Wow. I've always thought my name terribly old-fashioned, and it causes trouble for me. But it's nice as a second name.
Yes, I'm serious. I have always liked names that are a bit different.
In case you'd have another son, I have a suggestion then... It's a Swedish name (seriously)...
Anders. ;)

Anders. ;)
Is that considered unusual? Seems to be quite common around these parts.
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'll be watching in the pub with about 150 other sweaty ex-pats.
I don't know if I am worthy to still be on these boards considering I havent actually listened to the Beatles in weeks :(
we'll give you one more chance!.. just joking! ;D ;)
i coundn't survive without listening to the Beatles for weeks!!
haha thanks I have been redeeming myself this morning by listening all through Sgt Pepper, the White Album, and Abbey Road. It was much needed I didn't realise quite how much I missed them :)

They use this song in the Sony Bravia ads over here. It sounds remixed to me.
i hate it when someone gets mad at you and you don't even know why.
ouch, you still celebrate that?
that usually leads to no good tho....the present guy doesn't really like you being friends with your ex....it means that you may still feel something for him....not even that you do but it will cause some insecurities...ask the present bf if he minds and tell him to be honest.....i am still wondering where the new nadja picture is...
Don't be a coward, go and beat a Cow hard.
Arhhh, I feel awful :'(
My best mate ran off with the boy I liked.. She did it on purpose, and shes rubbing it in my face.
Awhhhh it hurts :(
Oh I'm so sorry... :( That's really a sh!!!!!!!!!!!!!t...... I know how U feel, it happened to me years ago, although she was not a very good friend of mine. It suxx anyway. And I doubt that she's your friend, if she likes to see you being hurt... What a b!tch.. Friends dont steal each other's date!
She turned out to be a bit of a backstabbing W-H!!!!!ORE
I wish people wouldn't have birthday celebrations in the middle of the week! :'(
Go on girl, more of that! Get it out of your system. Chick fight!!
It also makes very good reading for the rest of us!! ;)
Ahhh, no wonder we humans escape to the cinema...
Excellent. The wife's off to Gibralta weekend after next. What to do, what to do.....
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.
That I want to kill myself..
Because tomorrow.. I have;
English, Chemistry, French, P.E, Dance.
AHH! *Hangs self*
Man, I can't understand you city-dwellers. If I lived in the city, I would go out and just walk around every day. That would totally be my entertainment. There's nothing to do here in the country, and it's boring as all get out.
Don't you have bears rootin' through your garbage and irksome neighbours shootin' up your mailbox? Shucks, I've seen The Waltons. Boring my ass.
That's one hell of a random thought!! ;D
22.02 Today I understood that I mustn't wear my granat ring if I'm gonna go to school. Everything was TOO BAD!!! (Perhaps Kaili is chasing 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!:o
Am I really the sacrifise for Kaili???????????? I don't wanna be it!!!!!! I don't wanna die!!!!!!!!! I mustn't wear that ring!!!!!!!!
:o

Zed 'cause "zee" rhymes too much with the letter "c". As for the u's it's just a rebellion against the English. Seriously. When Americans broke free of the British colony they changed the spelling of certain words to make it less English. And 'cause they were rebellious badass mofos.
If that's the reason, then that's pretty funny. It's like children. Naa, naa, naa, we're not using u's anymore! Take that! I love it. That and the tea thing. One hell of a temper tantrum!
As for zee/zed. It must rhyme! Otherwise what would become of the ABC song?? ;)
Although I'm very anti the bastardisation (spellled with an 's') of the English language,
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?
I have come to the conclusion that I have random, weird dreams that make no sense.
I'm pretty sure that aren't any other kind. Anyone have planned, mundane and sensible dreams?
I once had a dream that consisted entirely of me trying on different outfits from my closet.
I have sleep paralysis. That's bloody wonderful, I can tell you! :(
Is that the forgetting to breath thing?
Paul, the sleep paralysis sounds scary. Now I must look up "Shadow people".
I just passed my driving test! Yoo hoo. I briefly held an NZ license many years ago but it really was like starting anew. But now, no more of that "two hands on the wheel" and "giving way" nonsense. It's back to how men drive - left hand changing the CD, right hand holding the joint and steering with the knees. Watch out world.
whywhywhy????
Who knows Deutch, who knows Swedish, who knows Greek, who knows Lithuanian - everybody was speaking different languages! ;D

Mine is a catholic school so I have extra classes added into my (very bad) gpa and I suck at those classes.
i miss school just for stuff you got up too at breaks and for all the faces, plus things were so much easier then even though we didnt think it
I used to go to a catholic school, I got riffed because I drew a huge dick on the blackboard... ;D
Do I go see Maceo Parker play tonight local? - ?30 a ticket tho!
So, did you go? I saw him here a couple of years ago and was quite disappointed. I think sometimes we expect too much from people.

good luck with the surgery. hope it goes well.
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!
yeah I have to get this extra bone in my left foot taken out completely.
I had it done' once two years ago but all they did was shave it down. :'(
I hate everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the school everyone says that I break the doors (but I don't do it!!!!!! (cry4) ) And my mother believes all this things and doesn't let me browse the internet!!!!! now she's away so I'm here for few minutes!......

I don't think I can handle anymore, I had 2 panic attacks back to back, then my brother-in-law comes home with a bloody face... he got jumped by 5 kids in a car. I know I am not going to pass my meteorology test tomorrow, and I have a math test on wednesday, and I am already on thin ice in that class, and I found out my mother had to go to urgent care cause she thought she was having a heart-attack. :oi think you probably need to relax. or do what i do....in the dead of night, run out side some alternative rock on an ipod, and run into the middle of the streeet and start screaming... i fnd it very relaxing and helpful. i am not very considerate to the neighbors, am i?

Speaking of South Park, here's another one well worth watching in this election year:

Not work safe unless you work for me.
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!
i hated every single day of high school and now 11 exams left and then no high school for me anymore. am i happy? no.
Last night some friends and I went to this new italian restraunt and as an apetizer I got calamari. I had no idea that this wasn't your average fried squid but 3 whole squids that were barely cooked. The tentecles were all sticky. It was disgusting.
I've learnt to download the videos from YouTube.com into my computer!!!!! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
HOW :o
I'm going to a Ringo Starr concert with FNU on June 25th.
my dad says that if he started a band, they would have to be called the Beat Less, (dont know if one word or two) so that they would always be right next to the Beatles. (and i mean really. a band called the BEAT LESS? HOW COULD THEY NOT BE GOOD!)
I'm going to a Ringo Starr concert with FNU on June 25th.
I'm going July 25th! Please report back afterwards and share with me so that I can look forward to it even more 8)
Just thought I would share, I was driving down the freeway the otherday and saw the WeinerMobile on the opposite side! This is not the first time I have seen it! how cool is that!! here is a picture of it when I saw it at a grocery store by my house...I was in my jammies and I was sick so I made my bf run over to it. They made him sing the song and then they gave him a little weinermobile whistle :)

Honestly, why do you wanna get out so desperately? :O
I hope you feel beeter Andy!
I want to watch Wall-E. I collect/watch all the Disney/Pixar movies. They are so cute! I still want to watch Kung Fu Panda too!
Nothing to draw and nothing to write here %) I appear here very sparcely so don't wonder if I suddenly appear here and write many short messages. %)
It is 107 degrees here today. it's stinkin hot!
Man, thats horrible! here in New England, we have crazy weather, but it doesnt get that hot! luckily, we do have New England clam chowder!
I'M STILL HERE
I'M STILL HERE
I have pasta. Are you all jealous?
I was hanging out with my friends the other day and their dad is/was an avid Beatles fan. we were listening to some Anthology bits (which I have YET to purchase :'() and I was telling them all these facts about songs and they looked at me like I was(am) a freak and that I was cool to know all of this.
I hate being sick when its hot.
Good old English justice system comes up trumps with another blinding idea .
If someome is caught robbing a house they won`t go to prison , they will go on a community service , y know paint fences and sweep up the streets . :-/
I like painting ::)
Hmm now wheres my mask and my bag with Swag written on it . ::)
Er, why have you been up so long?
lol might even end up painting the fence of the house they burgled and then everything will be all okay :P
Love the Beatles :)
8) ;D
Yes i am very eXcited Sandra , i cant wait , i am going on the day it opens so i wont get any feedback off people who see it before me ;)
So when you see X files you think of me Sandra :B :)
Would that be a "Yay" moment?

I think it's yay worthy...
thank you very much :)
Andy, your sick again!!!? So sorry :(
;D he looks high....
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.
yeah, i was in bed half of last week & then i got better by the beggining of this
week. then i caught another sore throat this thursday. not good weather here
in the UK, & there have been a few nasty bugs around. :-/
ugghh, i've got Lyringitis! (cry1)
Oh No!!! No talking for you and drink some soup!!!
Nothing worse than to fall ill in summer! Take hot milk with honey and butter.

I'll be on holidays after coming weekend, so the title on DM's Daily Quiz is pretty vacant after that. Go for it! ;D

Yay Andy!

I think Andy's virus got me. I'm sick.
How can anyone hate Hotel California??? I find this song so amazing. I don't care how many times I've heard it. Maybe you have to hear it once while driving down (or up) the PCH with the windows down. Maybe that'll do it!!! ([url]http://www.freewebby.com/action-smilies/groovy.gif[/url])
its strange how these things happen at the same time in the year, i always get a bad cold
just before christmas, or after the new year. must be the english weather! :-/
I love that song!
If you smoke then that`s the reason why you can`t smell. I call on everybody to stop smoking, to give up that bad habit and the world will start to shine for you.

Somthing is wrong with my right kidney, it hurts like hell. But I am too scared to go to the doctor.

I'm so sad today because my teacher caught me and my classmates inside the classroom when it was lunch time because we were not allowed to go to our rooms in recess time. Our grade level coordinator was mad at what we had done. I didn't know because our clock was advanced 10 minutes. It was so sad that i couldn't stand it, i was so nervous(cry4)

my throat is sore, and i hate it! i cant swallow, and even talking is hard. not being able to talk would be the second worst fate i can think of.
Very upset about teachers and kids.

Seems like summer's gone too fast :-/
I have some pretty stupid kids in my US History class. My teacher asked what happened in 1603 and this one girl responded with "The Declaration?" :-/ I was just like wow...

Don't eat something cheesy, like cheese toast, and then have Oreos, or Hydrox
Do I pass?Yeah, and you pass the TOW-test (Tolerating Octie's Weirdness) too ;D
Oi!! Even my stomach, by no means a finicky or sensitive organ, flip-flopped at that. It takes guts (not mine) to eat that. ;)Not really to do with food, but I used to think "finicky" was not a real word and that my accounting teacher made it up! Then I came home and looked it up in the dictionary.... oops! :B ;D
I hate forum boards run by "grumpy old ladies".................NOT this one EVER...........this board is so "awesome".
^ You have strong teeth!
Or weak pencils.
I saw a picture of Ringo today at the actual holiday camp I used to work at. It was taken in 1972 I believe at Puckpool, Isle of Wight and he was with David Essex in between a break filming 'That'll Be The Day.'
More local Beatle connection for me to be excited about. heheh
I'm sick. Make me feel better!
i have a bread roll! or maybe my sister ate it....not sure.
People, please remember that this is not a chatbox, not even this particular thread. Can you please use to member mailboxes for this purpose? Thanks in advance.
Have you read this, freakchic and FNU? No offense, but the mailboxes are especially set up for this kind of chitchat and conversation.

yeah, im real sorry too, Bobber. sometimes it starts with a random thought and gets, out of hand. will be much more careful in the future.
MAN UNITED....Now that you, the American taxpayer, more or less own insurance giant AIG, it turns out that you, the American taxpayer, are also the principal sponsor of Manchester United, thanks to a four-year, $100 million sponsorship deal signed in 2006.
It's starting to get cold in the morning now...fall is approaching. I am not happy about this >:(
YAY! BLUE TOES! light or dark?
It is that weird time of year here whne its quite cold in the morning, but its still like 85-90 in the afternoon. So you dont know how to dress for the day. I hate it.
who else really loves the song Time of the Season?
I DO
if you mean the Zombies song, then i really love it & strangly enough was listening
to it last week! :)
that is weird. I love that song so much
Beatles shirt............coffee...........good combo. I'm wearing my Pink Floyd t-shirt today that has the pink pig on front with "Pink Floyd" written underneath.

NO WAY! i was at a party, just face paint. not makeup!
why oh why must every man I fall for turn out to be gay?
Oh I know...
The nice guys are just friends, the hot guys are stupid and/or (quite possibly the and from my experience) jerks, and the nice, hot ones are gay!!
you can if you want freakchick... I don't have much experience, but I can teach you what I know about guys around my age! LOL...
Yeah, everyone all the best with their oldies...
My grandmother (my last living grandparent) had a cerebral hemorrhage two days ago. She can't talk or use the right side of her body, so she's not able to communicate right now. Very sad. I'm going to see her tomorrow but I don't really want to when she's like this... :(
my grandfather has Parkinson's.
it's hard to watch someone you love die a little everyday.
if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye in the scheme of things, then is it our real purpose to do something meaningful and lasting while we're here?
is that deep and thought provoking?^
i was on TV.com, and i was looking at the top 100 favorite all time shows. the funny thing is, That 70's Show was number 70! i just found that funny, and wierd.
sorry, i like being random. :)
Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies!
^ That is funny! What is the link? I'd like to check that out.
DID YOU KNOW IT TAKES 30% LONGER TO READ A SENTENCE THAT'S IN ALL CAPITALS THAN A NORMAL SENTENCE?
^ Rolling Stone is a mere shadow of what it used to be.
Get off the net then! close your eyes and sleep, that should help... :)
I have an infection in my right eye. It f***ing hurts!Oh Bobber. It'll be alright. I like cocoa and a little bit of karaoke when my eyes hurt.
I was pretty close to an emotional breakdown in the middle of class and I had a math class with a teacher who expects you to be PERKY. So I was walking around with an attitude, a hurt arm, and a big fake smile on my face.
Another random thought:Awww, Penny-Laney... plenty of Beatles/Paulie love going around here though 8) (grin)
I'm tired of people who don't understand Beatle or Paul love. :B
Why does your math teacher--of all people--care if you're perky?...
I have an infection in my right eye. It f***ing hurts!
Just posted in pc31's mailbox................I had to call 911 on dad this afternoon. Chest pains and extremely high blood pressure. They loaded him up and mom went with the ambulance. I'm waiting on a phone call from mom as to what's going on with dad and if he's gonna stay in the hospital. Y'all all say a prayer for me............I've been thru this drill many times the last few years..................
^Yay Aspie and family! So glad your daddy's home.

I'm watching The Rocky Horror Picture show right now and my friend tells me that MTV is planning to remake it.

I suppose we're in for things like a rapping Frank N. Furter, Britanny Spears type choreography, and a Janet that looks like the typical Hollywood bottle blonde, bobble headed, silicone enhanced starlet instead of the healthy girl next door that Susan Sarandon presented. Yeah, should go over real big. ::)

I was at a screening of Rocky Horror last night. I don't see the point of a re-make. Why fix what isn't broken?

My grandmother gets her Anointing of the Sick this Saturday (for non-catholics: that means they've given her up). A nice addition to the big steaming pile of sh*te that 2008 already was.
I love Christmas as much as the next person but good grief...wait until December at least!
I know. Where I live, I've seen a store putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween. It's ridiculous. It doesn't even feel like Christmas yet.

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 am sorry to hear of your loss losing the people you cherish is always harded than a passing....i still recall my father dying...it was awful...i don't like the funk that comes with that sh*t...so i want my mourners to not weep but party and remember what i gave when i was here...that poem about don't grieve for me because i ain't there holds great perspective...move on but remember me happily...i lost a brother once too...both he and dads name were charles...must be an unlucky name...i hope not i named my kid charles....cleaning up will help...get your disipline back man...move foward be broad shouldered....
cheer up girl!!he is out there you just have to find him........in the mean time enjoy the ride...keep the scars hid and help with thy hand and heart but be cautious.....
Sorry for the uh, drunken posting.

I like to put an "er" at the end of words like for example
soda = soder
banket = blanker
potato = tater
kitty =keyer
banana = naner
Don't know why, I am weird like that...

If the sun has faded away
I'll try to make it shine
There's nothing i won't do
If you need a shoulder to cry on
Ihopre it will be mine.
And the quote is by John and i forgot to mention that in the last message i made..
I need an Art Garfunkel puppet.
I make up words on a daily basis.
And, I just add to words sometimes. Like this morning, I said "likey".
Voodoo?
No, for a puppet show, actaully. Yes, I'm weird.
I have no idea what it's like out. I've been sitting in front of my computer all day putting off doing this evolution assignment... It's due Friday and I've just found my articles now, I'm doing it on the evoultion of human mating.
So...since I only own one of the Beatles' films, (Help!) a guy I know has been kind enough to rent me MMT, AHDN, and Yellow Submarine, since the movie rental place where I live really sucks and doesn't have any Beatle films.
That's OK, Sandra. A little regression is all right.
;)
I would like a cute little Englishman for myself this Christmas. Yes, that's what I would like. ;)
I have to read The Grapes of Wrath by December 19th...pray for me.i had to read The Kite Runner in 2 days! i mean that was just "sorry miss, have you lost all you marbles?"
i
Surely you cant be meaning Santa.... ;) ;D
Santa's an Englishman? I never knew. I thought he was Dutch or something. Yeah, not what I had in mind either way. ??)

and coca cola put him in a red suit.....
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...

*sings* All I want for Christmas is a Beatle :) LOL
Just got a call from mom. Dad has a very serious urinary tract infection that didn't cure from 6 weeks ago. So he's being pumped full of meds and is going to stay in the hospital for 3 to 4 days. Hope this is only the problem..........
^ Best wishes.
i think my dad is doing the laundry!!!! ??) ??) ??)
Wow, what's so terrifying about your dad doing laundry? ??)
What's the best cure for insomnia? A pill the size of a football or a good blow to the head? ;D
on the same note, a good cure for a headache: the guiliotine (sp?) ;D
I guess the Beatles invented Back To The Future. ;)
Right! When they were disguised as their future selves. Love that part.
It's snowing like crazy here in Iowa and all of the college afternoon/evening classes are canceled which is VERY rare since the college basically never cancels even when all the other schools in town close due to weather.
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.
BTW where is all this snow, when is it going to snow? I am tired of waiting...

Send me some snow here in Arkansas. I'm ready!!!!
Wow! That is extremely cold! Where's that? Russia?
really??? -25 C seems like nothing! In Alberta we had to go to school when it was like -40 (+ windchill!) They kept us inside but if they cancelled school every time the temperature dropped below -25 there wouldn't be school for like half the year!
I've sprained my ankle and its very painful! ??)
^ Ok, now I'm jelous of you Jane!!!! [size=9](I have this small thing for Russian guys lol!)[/size]
[size=9](I have this small thing for Russian guys lol!)[/size]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.
Judy, I have never even imagined that it could be -40C in Canada! Are you sure it`s -40C - Celsius? Like in Alaska?
You are right about guys. And they are straight here by the way...
My brother in law is Russian :P

Freddie Mercury can't be very popular in Russia then.
Colder than a witches tit here.
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
f*** my oral exam, I have to go sunbathing!
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. ;) :)

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
Oh Jane, it was a joke, geddit?? A joke! Have a sense of humour please.
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??
British guys are sexy, yes...gotta love the accents and the handsome faces. ;)
Oh Jane, it was a joke, geddit?? A joke! Have a sense of humour please.
Obsessive, yes, but *cough*Beatles*cough*
Oh, thanks God! I haven`t had a wink of sleep last night! And BTW who`s more important a moderator or an administrator?
f*** my oral exam, I have to go sunbathing!get a picture?
the admin are told they are but the owner has the real power...i'll tell you sometime how i wreaked havoc on all of them here as only a mod...it got me banned...great fun tho...i got to give the computer up for my 8 year old daughter jazmyn and her friend maggie..i'll see you later...i hope... ;)
come on lighten up....you are necessary...i did that b4 you were crowned...and there is nothing wrong with a little anarchy...i agree that things might get out of hand without you but they can go overboard sometimes too... ;)
Yeah, great fun. People like you and Jane are the anarchist kind of people. You don't give a f*** 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. After youtube links that won't work. After spammers that find their way more and more to this forums. Mods and admins take this thing seriously. Please tell me if you are willing to do the same or that I am f***ing wasting my f***ing time over here. Thank you.

Ah, my concert was cancelled yesterday due to snow, and classes were cancelled today.
Just came back from the eye doctor. They dilated my eyes. It's so annoying!! Hard even to write this. On the way home it was all red and white bursts of light coming at me. Like an LSD trip but without the fun. I gotta quit now cuz I can't even see what I'm writing! :(
i've got to have my foot plastered tomorrow as i've broken a bone in my foot! :(
Blimey! You have walked around with it for a week or so?
My turtles are dead! I don't know what to do!

Be careful that the store's not closing in the new year!!!! I've heard of a few companies that are still selling gift cards although they'll be rendered useless come January.

Oh my!! i rememmber this picture! i read this story in hebrew!!!! Coolness!
Oh wow, I had no idea they translated Der Struwwelpeter into Hebrew. That's cool. I recently found an English version on Amazon, but we only have the German version at home.

Er.... no, i can't remember those stories... maybe a picture will trigger my memory
I remember a picture of a man on a cliff... but that can be anything
(This is not really a cliff, but maybe this is what you're talking about?)Yes indeed! I had the same exact book! I even remember the words for the story with the guy with loads of hair and nails! Oh, thank you Penny Lane for the memories! Those were the days! :) :) :)
Do these bring back any memories, KE?

I'm cold, too! It's like 40-ish F outside, and the department computer lab is running their air conditioners! Grrr...
What is the temperature in C degrees?
Sorry, Penny Lane, for the trouble.
. 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.
Have a good night with your heaters everyone, our furnace broke around 3 pm today. We're gonna freeze tonight!!!you all need to get in the same bed...body heat is the best furnace....this reminds me of how 3 dog night got thier name...the eskimos let thier dogs sleep when them in the bed when it gets too cold that way they and the dogs survive the cold nights...a 3 dog nights gotta be a b**** ;) oh wait it would be 3 b****es.. ;D
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.
We're barefoot and in shirts and shorts year round.
I didnt know you live in Australia ;)I was there for a month or so, nine years ago. But we were talking Western Europe and USA here.

Yesterday I experienced my first earthquake! 4.8, it happened at 6:20 in the morning. The earth has never moved so much!
Hence the smilie, Bobber. ;)
Wow, how was losing your earthquake virginity? Were you scared? :P

Wow, the Beatles monopoly game is awesome! I'd get it for myself, but I can't think of too many people who would be willing to play with me.
Got a couple of really cool Beatle presents at work today! Awesome. I'm glad I didn't buy that Monopoly set. I almost did a few times, but stopped myself. Now I don't have to. Yay! Got a few calendars and a cool Beatles case too. I LOVE getting Beatles stuff! I really do.

^^^^Where's the easiest place to buy the Beatles Monopoly set??? I'm doing my last minute Christmas shopping Monday. Please let me know!!!!
But you would ogle at John, yes? ;)
I've also seen the Beatles Monopoly set at Borders, though mine was purchased via Amazon.
Another random Beatles gift tip: The Borders I last visited also had a Beatles' "Abbey Road" cover puzzle. Perfect for any Beatlemaniac puzzle-lovers in your life. ;)
My ear hurts like hell :(Why is that, mate?
Why is that, mate?
on another note... HAPPY HANNUKAH!!!!! We had mini sufganyot... very tasty but too sweet perhaps :)
Hey, no need for pointing fingers! But, yes, I probably would. I probably could not get two seconds into a game without ogling.:B :B

i went Christmas caroling today. in spanish. in my school.
i went Christmas caroling today. in spanish. in my school. apparently, it sounded like, "lalala, HEY!" but whatever. i have a big spanish class, and its hard to get that many unproffesionals singing at once!
Yes, join us, join us! ;D Now we just need a Ringo-lover to play with us, hehe....might I join you? ;D

That was fun ;D
We went to the park today and i found a coin! i can't figure out what currency it is, nor what country it is from... wicked!!! 8)you rule!!!......maybe it's a pirate dubloon....or a coin some spy dropped while being persued...use your imagination andtell us what you speculate.......
Parading is better (thumbsup)
at least she has a backlog of memories ;DBut all you've got is that book!
Haha, KE just noticed that I have 1000 posts and you have 2000, Hello Goodbye :)And our avatars...
Now I am buying New Year presents. Do you have the tradition of giving presents for New Year too?
you crazies with your thousands of posts!!!We're not really crazy. We just put it about we're crazy! ;)
We're not really crazy. We just put it about we're crazy! ;)
im typing this from our new laptop! YAY! its fun, the keys are so different from a regular computer....i like it!
I am sorry, Joost. But the thought that everybody has financial difficulties now should comfort you a little. We are all in one boat.That's right. Don't worry, Joost, you will have better luck next time :)
I am sorry, Joost. But the thought that everybody has financial difficulties now should comfort you a little. We are all in one boat.
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.
Joost, how much is a flat (one-bedroom, two-bedroom) and a small house in Holland, in the capital? I would like to compare the prices.
It's a house with two bedrooms and three floors and the rent is 450 euros a month.
But that's not in Amsterdam. :)
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.
I always say I love rain. It's not true. I came home and my hair was all wet and I looked funny.Haha, I know what you mean about wet hair... you don't want to see mine after it's been out in the rain ;D Even if it's just drizzling, I always put my hood up!

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.
OH OH
IT'S MAGIC
OH OH

Isn't it disgusting how I can think about laughing and freckles when people my age are dying in Palestine? I think it is.

Don't use laptops while on anothre computer. You get all mixed up.

*jumps like a maniac*
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
I've been to one of those before! They played I'm Happy Just To Dance With You during the one that I went to a few years back :)
Complete family with the flu! I'm the last man standing. :)
I think the whole Paul is Dead thing is genius even though it's not true.
Me also have flu. But I never met your family!
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'.
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! :-/
so my hair was like at past shoulders length and i went to get under the wifes car to look at the rear motor mount on her engine and i tried to scoot under the car for a better look see and my shoulder pinned down my hair and pulled it hard...it hurt so i cut it all off...i'll try to get a pic b4 it grows back...it figures it would be cold this week... :(
I fell off my bed and hit my head really hard, and my head still hurts. :(
oi! careful mate! i did that when I was 2... Hope you will get better fast
Aww. That must've hurt. But I'm all better, now. If I hit my head, it wil obviously hurt.
If I cry to my teacher, do you think she'll give me an extension for my project?
Joost, are you moving to a new apartment? Eventually?
Not an apartment, a house actually. They're currently building it. I'm moving in July.
^ ;D
Thank goodness it's Friday!

^^^ Awesome!
People at my work if they see anything Beatle related they tell me right away or if there is something in the newspaper they cut it out tape it to my cubbie 8)
anybody seen the Dark side of the Rainbow coincidence? play pink floyd's Dark side of the Moon album

^ Hopefully she's turned onto the Beatles then! :)
A friend of mine who sort of disappeared for a year txted me yesterday at midnight saying "wazzup man?" ??) How weird is that!
"They were lowly scum!" I'm beginning to think my friend actually hates the Beatles. Too much parental influence. :-/ Any tips to convert her parents?
How old are they (the parents)?
My dad dislikes the Beatles too. :( I played ridiculous amounts of Beatles music in my house while growing up, and to this day my dad still doesn't like them. Never did and never will, I guess.
About your dad, it's about time he's given up on hating them! (shakehead2)
Random thought for now... I love Paul. ;)
Oh, that's cool. What's the theme of your class trip?
I am pretty upset because youtube decided to disable my account so I had to make a new one. I lost all my videos :-/
You love me? Aw ;) :P
Do you know why they disabled your account? :(
WMG will ruin youtube...mark my words....
^^ Scary! So what is that you were doing? Purchasing something from someone and PayPal warned you that it was a dangerous site? It sounds like PayPal blocked your info from whoever you were trying to buy from.
ID theft sucks :-/ Good thing I noticed it this morning. I'm working to get things back on track.
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!
Gerry and the Pacemakers are coming to Wellington! 8)Quote from: 682^ Cool! Are you going to get to go? :)
Good for you! Is there anything you're gonna do there besides try to learn French?
Just Youtube "Heritage Moments". They'll teach you all you need to know about Canadian history.
^But what about my tan?
My grandmother just died... :'(
My grandmother just died... :'(
^ I am sorry, Joost. Let us know how you and your family are doing. :(
A random thought that's been on my mind for a while: If somebody gives you a compliment such as say, you're cute, the polite, non-self absorbed answer would be, "thank you," not, "I know."
Just sayin'. I think a lot of kids these days are a bit out of touch with the social graces. Another result of things like Face Book and My Space where it's all ME ME 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.
I don't find that Facebook is as narcissistic as Myspace, but it is close.
They now responded by offering me a gift certificate for 1,95.
Which expired on January 1st, 2009.
Seems like someone's having an offday. :)
I've never been on Facebook. Too creepy or something. As far as Myspace, it seems like a lot of people just love to post pics of themselves in hopes of getting comments from people talking about how great they are or something. It's weird. If you're in a band or have something to advertise, I can see having a Myspace page, but otherwise. what the f*ck is the point?? Provocative pics of teens is so disgusting, and that seems to be a big theme on these types of places. Great parenting going on out there. Creepy, creepy, creepy.
I have Facebook, and it's good for, you know, catching up with friends or keeping posted on events and such, but it becomes insanely stalkerish after a while. I especially hate it when people post pictures of me drinking or something, because my cousins have Facebook and they could see that and tell my mom.

I especially hate it when people post pictures of me drinking or something, because my cousins have Facebook and they could see that and tell my mom.
^ I found that I really liked it. After only a few weeks on it I had already reconnected with friends of mine that live back in Alberta. So I think it definately has it's advantages.
It's a generational thing, perhaps.
Loooove ya! (kiss2)
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. :)
What would you say instead of the word "friends" here: me and my friends. Would you say: me and my fellows?
First of all, it's 'my friends and me'.... Mates?
Pals? Buddies? Chums?
With Jane's last question, I usually say something like "hello ladies" and make it sound overtly sexual (but that's only with my closest girlfriends). Again, I'm just strange ;)
If you want to continue down the same road, you could say "Hey, b****es!" ;D

Hey coleen, have a good confirmation! I remember when I did mine. Wow, it must be four or five years ago now. Well, it's nice anyway, I hope you celebrate with your family or something.
I celebrated the day in a German restaurant. I got some presents.anything see thru??? ;)
My hair is short.
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. ::)
He? Maybe that has something to do with his apatheticness? You two obviously have two different feelings about Sir McCartney... Maybe that's why? ;)
^ To add to this, my husband just told his younger brother that I'm seeing Paul at Coachella, and his brother's response was to make fun of Paul. "Wings sucks, and Paul should've just retired after the Beatles," etc. >:( >:( >:(
Now I'm irritated.
Good thing I don't know your brother in law ;) :P
Well, on February 14th the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars in Aquarius.
Far out!

Not tryin to be rude, but what the heck does that mean?
Hayden Christensen & Rachel Bilson are engaged.
They're an attractive couple. I hope they'll be happy.

Anyone know how to free up space on an iPod? Mine's one of those old 1 GB iPod nanos.
Delete songs off your ipod.
But not aging as well as:

Oh but how I do miss his hair. :(
Billy looks a lot better without his hair IMO.
Chris Cornell's always been sexy!
^Congratulations, Mrs. Lennon!
^ He's the former lead singer from Soundgarden (a grunge band in the '90s) and then Audioslave a few years ago. He's doing a solo tour and recently released a solo cd too.
I almost cried when Heath won!!!
Holy crap, Slumdog Millionaire is cleaning up!!!!
I had tears in my eyes when he won even though it was expected.
Miss Lennon... congratulations ;) on being Mrs. Lennon. Now it's time for a little interview
How Does it feel to be a Mrs. Lennon ?
Well, actually, it's Shrove Tuesday if you're Catholic.
^Once again: I refuse!
Anyone know how to free up space on an iPod WITHOUT deleting songs?
Today, JMF wins the award for the Most Obvious Answer Ever. :P
Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday! (More commonly known as Mardi Gras.) I am so wearing my beads to school tomorrow.
And Freakchic9 wins the award for silliest question ever! ;)
That would be such an amazing class to take!!! I wish my school had classes like that!!!!!

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! ;) ;)
Good work Agent Beatle ;)
Nicely done, Sondra. I have to use more subliminal techniques. Like my reproduction Beatles bass drum head in my business office.
([url]http://home.att.net/~thorobred7/Toms_Sullivan_Head.jpg[/url])
How subliminal is that?
:)
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.

^ I've never bought anything off of eBay before. Something about it still kinda creeps me out...
so sad to hear that Are you Being Served actress Wendy Richards as passed away.she was only 65. :'(
First day back at uni today... I'm nervous for some reason '_'
^ Ohhh. Should I feel sorry for you? :-/
My friends and I did not grow up rich (or vacuous, hopefully) so it was a bit unsettling for us. I'm not saying all wealthy people are bad, but it's weird to see kids living their lives in a protected, insulated bubble where it's okay for them to act so superficial and selfish. Of course it is good to have money, and it would be nice to be rich, but I am really grateful I wasn't raised in that kind of bubble.
On a happier note... 52 days til SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, not really summer but summer vacation nonetheless!!!!!! :)
We're bananas in pajamas......Lolwhat? (grin)
^ I'll be taking two sciences classes that I need to take so I can graduate...science and math are my two worst subjects...I am so looking forward to that...ugh

I had a not-so-great evening at school today, which left me feeling miserable. :'(

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.
I can't get over that Natasha Richardson died. How devastating for her family. :(
I'm going to a '30s party tonight! yay!
...If I had a boyfriend, I would make him go with me as Bonnie and Clyde.
I think I'm probably going to go as a sexy gangster. If I had a boyfriend, I would make him go with me as Bonnie and Clyde.

Going to work and take money at the door for our church's Friday Lenten Fish Fry. Sometimes I hate being Catholic that you can't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. But oh well..........the pork ribs will be on the smoker tomorrow........
I just watched a thing recently on the history channel about Bonnie and Clyde...very interesting.
I'm Catholic and I just ate turkey bacon. Does this mean I'm going to hell now? Maybe if I say one hundred Hail Marys and three hundred Our Fathers I'll be okay. Cursed turkey bacon damning me to an eternity in hell! :XAs long as your mitzvahs outweigh your sins, you'll be OK. :)
Yay! I got a new pink iPod!

^ Good luck!
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.
I want to name my guitar, but I can't think of any good names!
It is a typical dreadnought acoustic. There it is

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!)

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 £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
ouch.... it's midnight and I've just been hit by my birthday ??)
i liked the first part of this more than the second but hearing the demo was worth the whole...

Oh, Andy, I sympathize with you. Last week I went to the dentist too. Don`t hesitate to go tomorrow!
You're Russian and hate vodkaI'm Russian, too. And I hate vodka, too (grin)
About the vodka - I was born in Russia, and I like vodka-based stuff (cocktails... yum!),But I really dislike vodka and all connected with it. I'm anti-alcohol (grin)
but I'm that good at drinking vodka by itself... unless it's orange-flavoured vodka ;DI haven't ever thought that you're good at drinking vodka ;D
Andy, I hope the tooth gets better soon!
I'm Russian, too. And I hate vodka, too (grin)
^ LOL, not in my estimation!! Hey Jane wanna switch nationalities? You're Russian and hate vodka, I'm Canadian and vodka's my drink of choice!!
thats just what i'm gonna do! :) i get toothache a lot, could be all this sweet stuff i'm eating at the moment, and of course with it being eatser, a lot of chocolate has been eaten...tut tut! :P
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.
I love the Tmobile commercial where the little girl tells her dad "She thinks you're super delicious"...What does she look like? ;D
When women do get to drinking they can beat guys at that. Cause women are more steadfast? steady? have more perseverence....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.
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.
You must be a medical man, Hello Goodbye! It`s a great profession!Yes and yes.
So are all surgeons like how they portray them on Scrubs lol?I wouldn't know. I never watch the current TV hospital shows. In the past, I liked Ben Casey and St. Elsewhere. I still watch M.A.S.H. when I have the time.
That's what I thought too... Still not sure, I'm doing a biochem major though so that can take me a few routes right?Yes. You have a wide selection of careers in the health field.
Seems like HG is a career advicer too ;) :P
I really wish people I didn't care about wouldn't invite me to their parties... I have a hard time saying "no" and thinking of not-so-fake-sounding excuses. :-/
I learned this lesson the hard way, you have to say no sometimes.
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. :-/
I hope you manage to get out of the not-so-desirable event, PennyLane!
Penny Lane, did you get out of that thing that you didn't want to go to?
Blind dates are usually bad. Have you ever had a good blind date?

I'm all excited! We chose our roomates for my French class' Quebec trip. We have another meeting next week. I'm pretty sure I get the room I want.
I'm all excited! We chose our roomates for my French class' Quebec trip. We have another meeting next week. I'm pretty sure I get the room I want.Wow, Quebec... very cool 8) I miss French... For our French trip we went to Vanuatu (that's in the South Pacific), and it was lots of fun :) Hope you have an awesome time, freakchic (grin)
I get teased so much for having such a crush on Paul McCartney. A lot of it is just good-natured ribbing from friends and family, but I feel a little weird about it since I'm not a teen any more. I can't help it if he's so damn hot, though. :P Very talented, too...but also very hot. :BAw, don't worry - nothing wrong with liking the very talented (and as you rightly put, very handsome (grin) ) Mr McCartney :) [size=9]I know what you mean though... sometimes I feel I'm too old for my great-big Ringo-crush :B:B:B[/size] But then, we can't help it, and it makes us happy, so why not (grin)
^LOL, don't feel weird! I have a crush on a guy that died 9 years before I was born!
Aw, don't worry - nothing wrong with liking the very talented (and as you rightly put, very handsome (grin) ) Mr McCartney :) [size=9]I know what you mean though... sometimes I feel I'm too old for my great-big Ringo-crush :B:B:B[/size] But then, we can't help it, and it makes us happy, so why not (grin)
KE and me went to see a Beatles tribute band called The BeatleManiacs last night! I thought they were quite good! They didn't really look like the Beatles that they were meant to portray (except for the one playing John), but they copied their voices and mannerisms really well 8)
Do you guys ever get teased?
Aww, thanks, you guys! :) I guess we can't help it. Do you guys ever get teased?Hehe ^_^
Octie, I think your Ringo crush is really sweet. Was it love at first sight for you? ;) Paul was for me.
Honestly it was the love at first sight for me :B
this is a kind of weird thought, but the other week i realised that, one day in the future there would be no one left who actually saw the Beatles play live...
Hehe ^_^
Love at first sight... I think it was. At first youtube sight, that is ;D One of the first videos I saw of the Beatles was a clip from Help!, and ever since then I've been liking Ringo very much indeed :)
I don't really get teased much, coz apart from my family and you guys, no-one actually knows ;D KE teases me occasionally, but not much (grin)
What makes me even sadder is thinking that someday, all the Beatles will be dead. I am really dreading the time when Paul and Ringo will have to "go" too. :'(Yeah.... I just try not to think about that sort of thing.... "><
I guess we can forgive KE for teasing you sometimes...after all, she did make you that cool Ringo pillowcase! :)Hehe, definitely ;D
Yeah.... I just try not to think about that sort of thing.... "><
I am really dreading the time when Paul and Ringo will have to "go" too. :'(
What makes me even sadder is thinking that someday, all the Beatles will be dead. I am really dreading the time when Paul and Ringo will have to "go" too.
I understand you. It will be really sad for all people like us :'(
sorry guys, i didn't mean to get everyone down. But the beatles legacy will live on. my kids love them.
Ps My daughter's name is Abbey and my son's middle name is Lennon...
Great names for your kids, by the way. Did your wife mind?
^ Actually my dad's nickname from his baseball days is Rocky, he still gets called it to this day. The story as to why has never been confirmed, I just know it has something to do with the song.
When I do have kids I really want a boy and to name him Jude, I love the name, plus it's kinda my favourite song :) (again, my dad's doing! lol)
Please, guys, there is something I can`t understand. How do you name your children? David Becham called his son Brooklyn after a New York borough. But how is it possible if it`s not a human name? Stevie wanted to call his son Lennon while it is a surname, a second name. Does it mean that one can take any word and make a name out of it? Or is it a recent trend? ::)
And if you have a girl can you name her Jude?
How do you name your children?
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.Oh yeah... there was an American girl in KE's class back at school, and her name was MacKenzie :)
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:I remember that... it was in the papers down here. And unfortunately it wasn't the only case of this nature... :-/
I remember that... it was in the papers down here. And unfortunately it wasn't the only case of this nature... :-/
hi Jane, Yeah, these days anything goes in the name department. but the last five years, surnames as first names are more popular. Liam Gallagher named his son Lennon back in 2000. sorry for asking but are you French by any chance/ and I love that pic in your sig. cheers
I spent all day working on my audit presentation... started about 10.30am, and now it's 10.45pm, and I didn't take any non-food breaks besides the one I'm taking now... and still I'm nowhere near finishing. Why am I so slow? (cry4) The good thing is that strangely enough I'm not tired, so I can keep at it till the small hours...
I got Macca's Red Square concert DVD for xmas - it is awesome and I love all the interviews with the Russian people.
^ Thank you so much Penny!! ^_^
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 pretty much lost my voice today. Thanks to not talking a lot, tea, lemon juice, and cough drops, I can at least talk loud enough for people to hear.
Yay, I'm so happy that the presentation I've been panicking about for the past week is over and done with :) I was quite surprised at the mark too... what a relief! :)Glad to hear you did well, Octie. You can learn from books. ;)

probally just a glitch...I hope so :(
What instrument does she play?
It seems that my previous account on this site was deleted :(
I couldn't log in on the site. It said to me: "Invalind username". I tried to do it for several times and nothing could help. When I found my messages I saw that there were 1142 instead of my nickname the words "Guest User" instead of all my data.
Was it just a system error? Or someone really deleted my previous account? :(
What instrument does she play?
And sorry about your field, mister.I suppose you know this is private property.

Are you ready to go? Splendid!
Just remembered how much Yoko's voice on Bungalow Bill makes this one of my least favourite White Album tunes.
OMG! My life is over...^^^^There's a thing called "hair color in a box" you can buy from your local store...............do it!!!! Loreal is the best.......
I discovered a gray hair today, and I'm only 18. Dear God, living with my mother is so freaking stressful. I can't wait until I'm back at university.
OMG! My life is over...Oh yeah, I have a single white/grey hair that's been there for a while now.... interesting. But then, I'm a couple (and another couple :B ) years older...
I discovered a gray hair today, and I'm only 18.
Are you ready to go? Splendid!
And over here is our driver for the trip, that wonderful driver, we hope....Dmitry! Off you go, Dmitry. Fasten your seat belts please. Away, way, way we go! :)
Good luck with school, you guys!Thanks! I'm gonna need it..... so stressed and frazzled these days..... (afraid3)
OMG! My life is over...
I discovered a gray hair today, and I'm only 18.
Mrs Bobber thinks that men with grey hair look sexy.
Mrs Bobber married you
Mrs Bobber married you, so lets say at best her judgement should be considered a tad shakey.
I'm happy just to have hair. Damn the color.
Yes, the worst part of it is that I'm very proud (okay, vain) about my hair. It's very shiny, thick, and down to my waist. I've never dyed it either. sigh.
I hate doing the Samba! >:(I'm sure you're better at it than I am ;)
It's a great feeling converting someone to Beatles fandom.
Who'd you convert?
My daddy made me repack for my Quebec trip (which is in four days) because he was afraid my suitcase would explode.
as soon as I come home from Quebec. I'm leaving TOMORROW.
I never changeif it is important enough for you ...then you will change...
I never will
I'm so afraid the way I feel
Yes, tell us all about LOVE when you get back!
although somehow I haven't had any study-inspiration this whole weekend "><
I'M HOME!
I came home late last night, and my sister changed my alarm clock, so my mommy let me stay home from school. It was so much fun in Quebec! There were a few hard spots, but overall, it was way too much fun packed in three days.
I'M HOME!

it is so hot out..what the hell am i doing still roofing at my age???????? :P
one more.....S5FCdx7Dn0o (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5FCdx7Dn0o)
You're brave. My hubby asked me to get up on his dad's roof with him, and I was like......no. I am not fearful of heights, but I am afraid of falling.
Anyway, I almost have 2,000 posts. ??)
Sounds like a great time!!! And by the sounds of it you enjoyed the real maple syrup lol! Chateau Frontnac is one of the nicest places I've been (although I haven't been there in YEARS!)
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.
Happy 2,000th post Penny Lane!

Thanks. ;)
I can't remember if I asked this before, but are you gonna post your fave pics from your trip?
^I would but my camera went all wonky and deleted all of my pictures.
??) I haven't posted on here in a year!Waaah, Flamie!! ;D ;D ;D *sings Wait* "it's been a looong time..." ;D How've you been?
I need to cut 1000 words out of my research report. And I can't do it. Been re-reading it several times and can't see anything I can cut out. So I thought I'll come here and do this: (cry4)
??) I haven't posted on here in a year!
yes, wondered where you disappeared to Heather :P ;)
I went birthday shopping for my cousin that's turning 4 tomorrow!!! I kinda over spent a little and got him a pair of cargo shorts, a shirt with a drum kit on it, a Superman shirt and a big bouncy ball lol :) Man I love him and his brother!!! :)I always spend tons on others (spent $92 for my mom's birthday!)
This is random thoughts right? So this is very random! lol.
I just got a Record and CD player hooked up in my room!!! And with it is speakers about 3 feet tall! And at this moment I am listening to my 'Introducing The Beatles' record! I collect Vinyls.... :B my two not so secret obsessions, The Beatles and old Vinyls! Gotta love em!
I didn't get my first record player until somewhat recently, and I had to "steal" it from my younger brother-in-law.
hm, how recently? I've been looking at some (looking at getting one for my new room) and I saw one at Costco yesterday for $120-ish... with the USB connection and everything. Do you have a record collection too Penny?
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. ;)
A very random thought: you will be amazed at how much sex there is in Marketing!!!!
As for the record thing, emmi, you sound just like me! I got my record player at this seedy pawn shop for $20. Suprised it still works, really. ;D
I think the first Beatle record I bought with my own money was a re-press of 'Introducing the Beatles'
By the way: This post? This very post? It's 'One After 909' :P
^ man, you guys are so lucky to even have record players! i have a whole ton of Beatles records sitting in my room because i stole them from my dad but i can't listen to them! and he has a LOT! too bad most of the covers arent in good enough shape to frame. =( but it's good he has even MORE CDs than records. =)
anyway, to keep things random, FIVE DAYS OF SCHOOL LEFT! and it's all random fun stuff left, mostly! YAY!
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.
I have always bee na nighttime person. If I don't have work, I sleep al lday and stay up all night. I always do my best work and thinking in the midnight hours. My clock is all backwards.
wow, you guys get out of school kinda late. I was out May 19, but I have to go back in mid August. I think I'm wasting my summer! :(
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
That's classic! also do it, but I sometimes forget my own rhymes.... (bad memory) I think it will be hard to do a song about first order conditions and derivatives! (hey! next time I'll procrastinate, I'll try that. Now, that's a thought!!!)
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....
The last meeting having been held on June 18, I now have holidays till September 1. Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must start making plans.

Me.... I'm tired today. My insane car was having car alarm problems and would not shut up. I've had to listen to it over and over again this afternoon, plus the security system screwed up and disabled my car engine at school. I was stranded in the parking lot for 90 minutes trying to figure out what to do. >:(Aww, Penny... :-/
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

Good idea, but I hope they don't teach you that Jamaica and Bahamas are part of South America!
Yay! 1,000 posts for Magnie!
My brain is already in summer mode so your lucky I didn't call them Europe lol
My brain is in summer mode too, so I also can get wrong or say wrong about absolutely everything ;D
Congrats, Jane!! ;D
I'm free too - just had my last exam for the term! Happiness!! ;D (until I see my results, that is ;) )
If anything happened to Paul or Ringo, I really would be heartbroken.

Jeez, I'm already hearing fireworks here. But it's 12:02, so I guess it's technically the 4th. People are nuts.
Taking a rest now after the pool party this afternoon. Then tonight.......friends coming over for a big fireworks blow-out here...............bring on WWIII!!!!

Hope your not teaching in the morning...it will catch up with you! heheheh. Sleeeep! You'll thank yourself later. ;)Yeah, I taught today. I do this all the time. Since I was a kid, I could never get to sleep at a decent hour! I've learned to function on no sleep from time to time!
"Boker tov, talmidim."
"Boker tov, Geveret KE!"

I like the new avatar! Very cool.
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?"That's hysterical. Two questions: what's pimpernickel and who's Nils Lofgren? ;D
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.
Wierd or what?
ugh my mom is so nosy.
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.
Git-r-done, Jimmy boy.
That's hysterical. Two questions: what's pimpernickel and who's Nils Lofgren? ;D
Oh yeah, and when do we ever argue? I totally disagree with you on that. And I can write about 152 words explaining my rightness if need be. ;) ;) :D
There has to be some stray Beatle kids out there too. I just know it. And how many little Mick Jaggers? It's got to be!
Wasn't it found true that Paul had a kid during the Hamburg era? I know that one of them did... but they didn't release who it was. And yes, there is probably a few Mick Juniors out there lol. Or Keith Richards.

Our music teacher is having an affair with one of the parents. I suspected this, but today found out it's true. Ewwwwwww. He's like 25 and the mom is around 35-40. I find this creepy and disgusting considering she's married, has kids and has him sleep at her house. Wha???? Ewww. People are just too selfish.
That`s awful. I feel bad for the kids.
tsk, you have to watch those musician types...

On a more positive note: I'm off to see Joan Baez at the Santa Monica Pier in about a half hour! Yay!! Music and the beach. Nice.
today was my dad's birthday! 51 years....it's ridiculus. i mean, there're kids in my grade who's parents haven't hit 40 yet. and i'm the oldest child in the family!

I'm 18 and my dad is 58, if that makes you feel any better.
But whats the big deal? Parents age, so do we. I think the age gap between kids and their parents is growing. Couples put it off for longer these days.
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.
JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!
Post pictures when you get back!

I know aging and death are normal things, but it's hard to think of my loved ones passing on in the future.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.

I know a girl who is 20 and she has a boyfriend...who is 50.
The accent SBC uses in Bruno sounds exactly like the one Ralph Fiennes used in Shindler's List. Even the voice. It's weird. And it looks like the DUMBEST movie ever. I don't get his appeal. I really don't.
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.
Hello Again Everyone!Hello PaulieBear
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.

AAAARRGHH!!!! The 'g' string on my guitar broke again!!! This is the second time it's broken! The other ones haven't broken once yet!!! Ugh. >:(
Be thankful it's only the g-string on your guitar!I had a strong feeling somebody would say that. :P
.......tomorrow's another day!
And tomorrow is already coming to another tomorrow. And so every day. What is the meaning of life?Propogate and die baby. Propogate and die.

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.

Does anyone know a cure for mosquito bites? I have a lot of them, and they're huge, and the anti-itch stuff won't work.
Holy crap... I just realized that little over five months from now we're already in a new decade... Seems like just a few years ago that we went into a new millennium... Time really flies... Weird thing is that this decade is almost over and it still doesn't seem to have a name... Like the sixties, seventies etc.... Nobody calls this the zeroes, right?Some say the Noughties. lol
^ I have never ridden on a horse before. Yes, I am a city girl through and through. :(
I took a 4 hour long trail ride on the back roads with my horse. And now I'm sore all over. We were galloping a lot and my horse's run is very bumpy... :( but it was lots of fun :P lol
I'm just so sad :'( just

It's almost 4am and I'm not the least bit tired. I hate that. AND I have to get up early tomorrow! AND the air conditioner is still not working! Oh well. It's like that song Doris Day sings.
Hey, dude!! :) Enjoy the trip?
Speaking of family...
Feel so ugly and fat in this dress I'm wearing to the wedding. :'(
I only agreed to get it so they would shut up and stop bashing the way I look right to my face. Shopping with my mom and aunts is horrible.
Just turned on the TV and I see the Bee Gees. Then I'm like, huh Peter Frampton?...oh no!
^ yay, congrats :) I remember wearing braces... got them off about 6 years ago, but I remember them as if it was yesterday :D For some reason I still sleep with that retainer thingie that you're meant to wear for a bit after they come off... habit, I guess ;)
Keeps his weed in his pocket. Priceless.
the smell of cooking meat coming from my next door neighboor's is unbearable, i can't stand it and
it makes me feel sick!! (yes, no doubt people have realised i'm a veggie! :P)
Wow, this reminds me of what Morrissey said when he was smelling cooked meat at Coachella!
i am a stricked veggieDo you also think that you are educated and civilized? :P Don't take the wrong way, I am just quoting the Kinks. :)
Ooooh, braces. Creations of the devil, they are. I know they're good for you, but my GOD do I hate mine!Aww, hang in there guys... it's worth it in the end :) (it was for me)
Bloody torture devices..... >:(
It's just a flashback, Sondra. Pay it no mind.

Hmmm. Hmmm. I saw some really cool Spock t-shirts at Wal-Mart the other day, and I'm debating about whether or not to get one. On the one hand, I'm not a *huge* Star Trek fan and I hate to be one of those people who wears a t-shirt of something they only kinda like. On the other hand, I really like Spock as a character and I grew up with the series, as my dad is a big fan.
^ I competed in Westren Pleasure and Westren Horsemanship and got 3rd place in both!!! I am sooo happy!! lol. And there is a Games Show (exe. Barrels, Poles, Keyhole) that I will be in next weekend! ;D ;D ;D

Here's a video I just made. It's not that good, but it was worth the 15 minutes it took to make it! lol. I just wish the sound quality was better......
I just watched that vid on youtube a few minutes ago then I read this post! small world LOL...good job on the video ;D
today is my last day of summer break...I'm excited for school because I have some great classes, but I'm bummed that summer is pretty much over for me :'(
Speaking of school, does anyone know when I start school? I've been chilling too much.
This has been the Summer of Death for awesome celebrities!
My sister, the nice one, took me and three friends out on a shopping spree, and then to the Converse building to help inspire and design new shoes. Soon enough, you'll be seeing El Paso-Woodstock inspired shoes and thank me.
Oh! And I'm gonna get my hair cut like Pattie Boyds!!! I have the same face shape as her but I have a little more defined cheek bones. So I'm gonna give it a try!

You live in El Paso? I was born there!
No, I believe Freakie lives in the Boston area.
Anyway, I'm leaving for a trip this week and wanted to say bye for now. I'll be seeing the Beatles' LOVE show in Las Vegas, yay! :)
You live in El Paso? I was born there!
Nope, born, raised, and live in the Boston area.
But I long to go to El Paso if that counts for anything.
home for my less than an hour between jobs... oh it's gonna be fun tonight... AND I just found out that Western wants to use my photos but they won't pay me and might not even credit me!! I don't know, should I go for it?what's Western, HeyJude? I tend to do most things for money... and if a good looking guy is involved (!)

I want to be cremated and put into salt shakers at restaurants.
yep! I guess yours and mine can hang out together! Audrey is lovely.
^ Yup, that's pretty boring.It really is wonderful ;) Still drinking tea right at this moment from my souvenir giant Love mug. :)
I returned today from my Las Vegas trip. LOVE was wonderful; I really enjoyed it and even cried (because I am a dork). I will try to upload my pics soon!

Thanks HG, I'm keeping my Facebook but definitely taking away his misery by blocking him from seeing my pictures.
^ How about some psychological thrillers? Maybe Hitchcock?
sometimes I just wish some people would just shut up! There's a guy that I work with that is always criticizing my pictures, which is like what does he know? SO what he's taken a photography course and I haven't. That doesn't mean that I can't take a good picture! Gah, there are some people out there whose only goal is to drag you down when you start to feel good about something! Take that as a lesson all you youngins, don't post something that you're happy about on Facebook, there's people out there who only want to bring you down! /rant sorry, seems like I always do that anymore!
Your pictures are amazing. Very artful. And you're the only one who can bring yourself down. Don't let this twit have that power! He's probably just a miserable person who gets joy out of making others feel like crap. If anything, feel sorry for him. I'm sure he'd love that.
Eye of the Beholder. Disturbia. One Hour Photo.
3 of my favorite psychological thrillers.
Isn't "Disturbia" based on a Hitchcock film?
Love = one of the most magical things on this planet.
A new semester begins, and I have homework due soon already! Gah.
You have homework on the first day? The first day here is always about the rules..it's rather boring but hey we get out of class early so it's all good ;D
Well, it's a class that meets just once a week, but yeah, the prof has assigned us homework already. :( We didn't get out of class early either, LOL. :(
Do you go to a community college or university? I go to a community college which might explain the rules/getting out early lol
I can't believe it, but I actually LOVE this Pepsi commercial and the cover of Forever Young! wil-i-am did a good job.

Maybe I should have thought twice before making fun of a moderator.
To tell the truth, I'm not great with technology myself. I've never had a cell phone, and I'm only getting one this year because the place I'm staying doesn't have a landline.
Maybe I should have thought twice before making fun of a moderator.
That's right! I have mod powerr!! Muah ha ha!
It's so cute when old people discover technology. ;)
My parents don't much like technology...they're like "No, you may not have a Facebook.." and they only just let me have an e-mail adress last September. Ah, the joys of parental control..... :P
On a completely different note..
I DON'T WANNA GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!
OMG! It's September!
Happy September everyone!
^Neither am I! We can be freaked out together!
Ok, first I got a Facebook, then my Dad did, and then my Mom did. And it's almost like their keeping track of who I'm friends with. It gets so annoying. I finally had to ask HeyJude how to use the privacy settings ;D
Hahaha. Well, when it comes to the Internet, we all just have to use common sense. Don't talk to creepy weirdos and all.
Don't put yourself down, you are definitely not stupid. I think we've all done our fair share of mouthing-off...what ever happened to MopTopSinceBirth? I think that was my fault. :-[
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.
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. :(
Yeah, I try not to get involved with the creepy weirdos ;D
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:
"The Jonas Brothers are more than just the new Beatles... They are better than the Beatles. "
That was from Hey Jude vid on youtube ;D
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:You tell 'em, sister! :P ;D
"The Jonas Brothers are more than just the new Beatles... They are better than the Beatles. "
Six days until 09-09-09.....................
Are there any discounts for Beatles fans?
I don't believe in modern love!
I'm quoting a David Bowie song.
I got my new job confirmed today. Yay!! Party with me!

BTW, Paul, our birthday is 21 days away. Getting excited?
I got my new job confirmed today. Yay!! Party with me!

Congrats Penny! :D

Hehe!
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...
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".

Was it good?? I read the book and liked it so when i saw the previews i got excited but not much movies come down here so i have no idea when ill get the chance to see it.
all the "other" groups out there, most of them will NOT be remembered 100+ years from now...........but the Beatles will be...
Wal Mart stocked the remasters a day early so I picked up Rubber Soul and Revolver.

I've missed you guys SO MUCH!
^PaulieBear!!!
Guess what everyone! I made a new fried today, and she's a Beatles fan, too! She told me her favorite song was Golden Slumbers.

There was a girl in one of my classes who was wearing a Beatles shirt.....
I should've said something to her but I am too shy. :(
I'm the same way, I'm always too shy to tell people things!
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.
It still sounds to me that he says I buried Paul even though I've heard the Anthology version ;)
and, who's favorite song is Golden Slumbers...
John says cranberry sauce. Twice.
Glad to know I was right. Care to tell my teacher that? LOL. ;)

I'm really shy too :-[
I mean like REALLY shy

I've been shy all my life. I've been getting better at talking to random people, but I guess it is something that never really goes away unless you force yourself to meet tons of new folks. :(
yah I guess you're right! I guess I would say I'm better than I was a few years back. But still not totally great at talking to everyone.
That's why it's easier chatting online...LOL! ;)
me as well. It's crazy, I always turn all red when someone says something about me. It's really bad! If I try not to, it just makes it worse.
My school counselor is a Beatle fan, so he keeps testing me with Beatle lyrics. Like today he gave me a peice of paper that said "The deeper you go, the higher you fly, the higher you go, the deeper you go" and he didn't think I'd get it! But I got it right away! :D
Geez, I wish my high school counselor were that cool. ;)
But on a lighter note, I can't tell you how many parents came up to me and said, "I heard you like the Beatles!" That was pretty funny.
Went to a parent/teacher social tonight in Beverly Hills. Beautiful house....
Maybe it was The Beatles tee shirt you were wearing.
You mean a ceee-ment pond? Of course. Overlooking the City of "Angels" ha.
Yeah, I wish! My feet are KILLING me! Dressing up is overrated.
Well, set a spell. Take yer shoes off.I took my shoes off as soon as I was out the door. I'm not proud.
Wellllllll doggies!
Went to a parent/teacher social tonight in Beverly Hills. Beautiful house, but what a weird night. This town is bizarre. I wonder about people sometimes. Plastic. I'm bummed by human nature at the moment.
I might be fluent in Hillbilly just from watching Coal Miner's Daughter a bunch of times. ;D
I'm really shy too :-[
I mean like REALLY shy
Oh, and there's this sort of cute guy in my gym class who was wearing a Beatles shirt, so I had to comment on it. =D
I LOVE THE BEATLES REMASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
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 :'(
([url]http://home.att.net/~thorobred7/Marilyn_Monroe_Korea_2.jpg[/url])
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*
I just realized I was born 30 years to the day of the Beatles first Ed Sullivan show and my dad was born the day of (we have the same birthday). It feels like I was destined to be a Beatles fan LOL ;D
In other news, school has barely started for me and I'm wishing it were all over already--and it's only September. :(
^^ Why does she want to police it? :(
^ Wow. My parents would never let me cuss...they don't use bad language (usually). At least they're not on my FB!
I'm in the same boat as you penny! no cussing allowed! especially from my mom, she's all it makes you sound disgusting. argh!
I'm not like obssesive about it, it just slips out once and a while. ya know?
Yeah. My mom gets upset when she hears me using bad language. Once I did it by accident and she got really mad...
I AM MOVING INTO MY OWN PLACE ON MONDAY, YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! :D
Thanks guys, been looking for a place for months on end and at last i have somewhere, so moving all
my stuff in next week and you can bet that most of it will be Beatles related, haha!
Good times are ahead! :D
I AM MOVING INTO MY OWN PLACE ON MONDAY, YEAH YEAH YEAH!!! :D
Take pics of your Beatles decorations!! :D
^ There are far worse words than crap, too. LOL. Not that I'm encouraging you guys to use bad words, but I'm just sayin'. ;)
I provide more good news! That store 7-11 has a free slurpee day! July 11th. I know how to celebrate that day.
Woot Woot!!! ;D
My guitar recital went really well! I was so nervous, but once I got up there I was fine! THEN, we went to the antique store next door and I found A YELLOW SUBMARINE ACTION FIGURE FOR $15!!!!! And it's of Paulie! So today was a Gr8t day! lol

Being a Beatle fan gives me an esxcuse to own toys! ;D But I don't plan on opening it XD
Oh my God I love John Cleese! :P :-[
([url]http://pythonline.com/files/pythonline/images/john3_0.JPG[/url])
Yeah, I just wanted to chuck that out there....
Do you mean that you love him as a fan, or that you love him like...LOVE?
Oh listen to this!
In philosophy today, we are doing a new topic - Time Travel. And so when we came to the lecture theatre, the lights were off and the Dr Who theme tune was playing and then the lights slowly came up and in the corner of the room was a box-like thing, all in blue and it said Police on it, and it had the police light (ie the Tardis) and out of it came my lecturer wearing a wig and a scarf!!!!
Now that is cool!
i'm kind of disillusioned about most of my friends at the moment... ???
Emmi, I have those Yellow Submarine toys too! I used to have all 4 but I gave Ringo to my best friend since Ringo is his favorite and like Ringo, is a drummer (or was up until he graduated high school)
Thats sweet! ;D I'm going to try to get them all now. Onto ebay I go!
There's actually a record shop here that sells them :) They actually have a lot of Beatles product (and Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd... and unfortunately Twilight)
^ I LOVE the pic you added to you sig. LSD ;D
What's wrong?
Do you mean that you love him as a fan, or that you love him like...LOVE?Both.... Call me insane, but I think he's cute. :o
Both.... Call me insane, but I think he's cute. :o

Most people have very little self awareness. It's really something more people should work on. I'm not excluding myself here by the way.
^ Man, you must have a really nice schedule!! I have a 2 hour tutorial, hour break, hour class, hour break, 3 hour lab... Not looking forward to that!!
I have a debate for my government accounting paper on Thursday.... and my team made me third speaker - the one who's mainly in charge of rebuttal - knowing full well that me and making arguments up on the spot do NOT go together at all. Hmm, I wonder... :-\
I had a 3 hour lab last year. So annoying!! I feel your pain Jude!
Yeah, being in biology I've had at least one 3 hour lab every year (first year it was bio, chem and physics, last year it was an entire bio lab course, and this year it's ecology and organic chem)
Mine was for photography class. We had to work on the computers using photoshop. And it can become quiet boring after awhile.
So I went in to get my paycheck yesterday and my shift manager told me that Sunday night some lady called asking for my schedule but the lady wouldn't say who she was :-\ I'm kinda creeped out! :P
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.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.
oohh I think someone has a customer that's developed a crush!!!!
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

^ Can't forget his new obsession, Ellen Page lol
Thats Juno right?? That movie Whip it with her looks supper cool!
I'm done with school this week! woop! So happy!!
And I was informed when I walked in the door today that my beatles rockband special edition set is being shipped finally!!!!! ;D
moved into an apartment for 2 months... 4 people + 2 bedroom apartment + almost everything from our house = not so fun times...
Ellen Page, she's from my home province! Maybe I can hook them up ;)
Wow, my cousin has been tracing our ancestry, and I just found out that I could apply for dual citizenship in Italy! So cool. It's called jure sanguinis ("by the right of blood.") If I received it, I'd be able to live and work throughout Europe! It's gonna be expensive to apply for and get all the documents, but I might just go for it!

I just had a thought:
In God Save the Queen, they ask God to save the Queen but then they say "may she defend herself" but why should she, if God will save her anyway?

I know what you mean :) there's a boy at my school who likes the Beatles, he's actually the only person I know who has the box set, He comments on my Beatles shirts all the time. He's really cute too, shame he has a girlfriend though :(
^ Damn, my boy's "neutral" towards the Beatles... I'll have to change that lol! Then again, we have this little agreement, he has his video games and stuff and I have my Beatles lol!

I just played Beatles Rock Band at the quiz event at work :o They put me in charge of the guitar and I was awful at it, but still... I played :) I really wanted to be the singer, but was too much of a coward to volunteer for that, haha.... or the drums, for that matter. Kinda wish I did now, haha... I thought the details in that game were really amazing! Wish I could draw like that 8)
I know isn't it the most fun game? I love playing the drums, I've never played the drums before on rockband so I was excited!
You have to play drums sometime Octie! You'll enjoy it! ;D

Once again, I can learn more about Islam reading the Qur'an rather than a textbook!i'd imagine so... but then you will have to learn the language as well. [is this something like religious studies?]
I swear all my professors came togther to plan my demise.
Just wanted to say Hi to my beatle pals here on DM's and sorry i have not been on much lately but
my life has been so hetic what with moving into my flat and all that jazz! Hopefully when i'm seattled
i'll be on more often! ;)
^ Do you like blue because it's Paul's favorite color? :)
Yesterday this kid comes up to me and asks me if I like beer. I look at him like ??? and he says "Well, you're tall enough to like beer!" I don't know if I should feel flattered or insulted!
^^ Well in Mexico (or as I call it meh-he-co) if your taller then the bar you can get booze. Odd = ;yes
Are you sure?? Ive been asked for ID before... hmmmm or was that a joke hehe Im so SLOW these days.. ha2ha
Purple is my fav color...
I think I'm getting a cold...I've been sneezing all day :(
I just got over mine.
Not again! I hope you don't get another one!
I just got over mine. I hate being sick! Hope you feel better soon GHL!
^ LOL Hello Goodbye, I wonder how long you can keep that going ha2ha
I hate being sick too! This doesn't seem too bad though, just sneezing and a bit of a sore throat so hopefully it's over in a couple days. I think it got cold way too fast over here, my immune system wasn't ready!
Gah I have so much to doooooooo this week!
I've got a test tomorrow and my project is due the day after... anyone needs a target for target-practice? Pick me.... X_X
Hope you feel better soon, Freakie and GHL! (with the help of Dr HG's medicine ;D )
I have a Orthodontist appointment this morning :-X I hate them.Join the club. :P

I don't like it when vending machines won't give you back your money.
That's so lame! I can't believe he actually took it from you! What a jerk!
I have the hiccups.
I know, HG. Lime in de coconut, and drink dem bot' up.
Good Luck on your Project Octie! ;D
You know who I haven't seen around here in a while? Magness. What happened to her? ???

Oh yeah, vending machines.... the one at uni "ate" my money twice! I don't trust it anymore :P
I don't like it when vending machines won't give you back your money.
I've had problems with vending machines too! I had to help my friend get something out of one. I started to shake the whole thing, and pound on it! But I got it out..but had a big bruise on my leg later. :P
I remember one time when my mom was buying her truck, I got stuck watching my brother in the lobby while my parents talked to the salesman. So my brother went to the vending machine and bought a Reeses Penutbutter Cups package. But there was one stuck in front of it, so the two packs got stuck. Then a salesman came up and asked what was going on, so we told him and he started punching the machine trying to get them loose, then two more salesman came up and started doing the same thing ha2ha We eventually got the Reeses
Always check the tack before you mount.
I ride English and use a single-jointed eggbutt snaffle. My horse responds to direct and indirect rein. I keep those aids light and concentrate on shifting my weight and leg aids. My horse goes where I look!
Emmi, you have no idea how confused you and HG have made me just now. Both your knowledge is impressive. ha2ha
This is probably the greatest combination of words ever.

I can whip out an essay like nobody's business, but when it comes to studying I can never get motivated.

I can write essays when I need to, but I usually don't enjoy them. I'd rather write for my own amusement. I'm also a terrible procrastinator when it comes to studying.
I've always been a pretty good student, but having fun is infinitely more enjoyable. ;)
omigosh, me too! ha2ha
I'm eating spaghetti!! ;D
^^^ ha2ha Sounds interesting Freakchick!
i was trapped in strawberry fields when sgt. pepper came up to me and arrested me. I had to carry that weight a long time. But eventually, i just let it be and felt free as a bird. All in all, it's getting better, except all the piggies crawling in the dirt of my octopus's garden. I was saddened to hear that a fellow named Eleanor Rigby was ambushed by the Taxman and mean mr. mustard laughed at her. Then she later died and held maxwell's silver hammer in her hand.
^It was! And the wall was about 10 ft. up. And I was less nervous for that than a 4 ft. trust fall off of my school's bleachers. I was shaking for the trust fall, but I was like, "Get me up there!" for the wall.10ft?? AHHH!! I don't like climbing those rock wall things! Freaks me out really bad! :o
Tomorrow and Friday iare Catwalk day.
I have a very trust-building gym class. I don't trust half of my class...
^ umm.... what's a trust fall, you guys? :-[ (sounds like something to do with falling from a height... and that doesn't sound too great... :-\ )
Called in sick today. Ahhhh.
I said I called in sick. I didn't say I was sick! ;D Muh ha ha.
A trust fall is when you have to fall backwards into a group of people's hands. Which are suppose to catch you, but you never can really tell what's going on behind you! AHHH!! I don't get why freakchic has to do this at school, it seems cruel and unusual! :o
More like a mental health day, mmm?
I said I called in sick. I didn't say I was sick! ;D Muh ha ha.
But thanks for wishing me well!

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.

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'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.
I hope Morrissey gets well soon after he collapsed on stage feeling ill last night, he is in hospital recovering
What made him collapse? Did he smell burning meat or something? Because I remember that really angered him back at Coachella.
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.
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 read the labels on my History teacher's file cabinet drawers, they're a riot:
'JUNK, BIG DEAL, STUFF, ET AL, and HODGE PODGE'
No joke!
How that man manages to stay organized is beyond me. ha2ha
I think he forgot to mention "Miscellaneous." ha2haha2ha
Because I like the new subject window.
^^YAY Freakchic!! ;D
I got a speeding ticket driving home last night :P
Ouch :-\
wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day began, (no pun intended), my alarm clock wasn't the one who woke me. it was the radio that i forgot to turn off, the opening riff of "Revolution" tore my eyes open. :D
One time, I fell asleep with my Mp3 on, I had put it on All Beatles songs on random. So then, the Revolution opening riff came on and I *literally* fell out of bed ha2ha;D that's awesome!
;D that's awesome!
it'd be cool if people somehow could make revolution as the alarm for an alarm clock, that'd be the greatest idea in the world.
;D that's awesome!

This is just a random thread about how your feeling at the moment! (Sorry if this has already been done!)
Example: I am mad because my mp3 player just broke >:( (this is true btw)
^ They seem to be sending stuff over here by UPS. Stuff arrives in 2 days!
i am confused because i didn't know where this thread went
???
sick of the Post Strike here in the UK, i have ordered things i really need but not getting anything because of these
hypocrites complaining about not after that extra cash more...sorry guys but why bother?? :-\

I think that's what this couple did, if you can read it...

So, the little pink thing in panel one says "WAAAW! Y'SAY YOU WANT A REV-" I dunno, that sounds like Revolution to me! They even got Paul's scream in there.aww, that's really awesome, but now i can't use my idea! :-X
i left my radio on overnight again, and i woke up to Aerosmith's cover of "Come Together" ;D
I had such a great day!!! I'm super tired from babysitting my nephews and taking them trick or treating but it was fun :-) I also introduced my nephew Matthew to Paul McCartney's music. He seemed to like it ;)
^ I'm hoping one day they'll all become Beatles fans :)
I've decided to start collecting Beatles vinals even though I don't have a record player

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. :):)
When does that Sherlock Holmes movie come out?
^ congrats to KE for the exam, to GHL for finishing her paper, and to Joost for scoring those goals! :)
Just submitted my last paper for Honours...... wow.... I can't believe it's finally over! :o I just hope my marks will be alright, but until they come out, I think I'm in for some stress-free time. Yay!! ;D
I most definitely saw someone on the bus today who looked a lot like JMF :) lol
Yay Octie!! Are you finally going to be done with all that paper writing??
Christmas day [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/[/url] ([url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988045/[/url])
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 :)
Thanks :) Yeah, I'm actually done with my degree (unless I failed... but I'm hoping not...)

Did you take a picture? A couple of my friends saw Macca earlier this year in Boston and there was a kid there who looked EXACTLY like me, they took a picture of him.

(well, this is called random thoughts :P)
my cat gets angry when she listens to yoko's singing, i did an experiment
she gets still as a statue, and her pupils get narrow. i'm not kidding.
and when i let her listen to 'and your bird can sing', her tail bats to the beat and she's more loose. ;)

WOW! That's really cool, I don't know how much more of this school bit I can hack! I'm getting really stressed out now, not liking it. Having an annoying teacher doesn't help either. :( But I'm happy for you Octie, I'm sure you'll pass. You've done enough work, they should just hand it to you. What are you getting a degree in by the way?
ha2ha your cat has good taste in music:D i was so glad for that!
^ I am soo sick of twilight, I have a friend who's absolutly obsessed with it and talks about the new movie all the time :Pthere's this girl in my french class that made a freaking scrapbook all about twilight! she's downright obsessed

Just heard that my brother left his girlfriend after a seven year relationship and is moving in with our parents again... Didn't see that coming...
I'm sorry to hear that. :( Why (if you don't mind) did he leave his girlfriend?
^ I hope you feel better Sgt. Peppie!thanks! but it's not as bad as i thought, it just feels weird when i walk, like my legs are heavier ???
bunch of people talking too fast. You don't know what they're saying. And if you do, you don't WANT to know what they're saying lol.i know! either that, or they're just throwing random, vulgar lyrics together that just sound so stupid, you laugh at it!
^ yeah, rap should not be considered musicI think it was mcmaul who said that rap has a silent C .... hee hee. I'm not a fan either
^^Recent studies show that 95% of teenagers moved on to rap... If you are part of the 5% who hasn't raise your hand *rasies hand* = )*raises both hands high up and jerks them around in agreement*
I just learned Love Me Do on harmonica!! I'm proud of myself ;D

I went to a craft fair today, and bought myself a ring. It's made of an old spoon handle! :) I also had more than my fair share of free 'samples' of salsa, dip and toffee. You have to love craft fairs.
Ugh. I'm all sick, and I don't know what I did to make me feel this way.

Gotta love when the lab component of a course is worth 60% (12% per lab)... Ever have that lovely experience HG? lol
Yes, in Ecology. It's all lab work. But you get to go on great field trips.

Just finished watching Repulsion such a strange movie. ???
I've heard of that film. Polanski, right? I haven't seen it but it sounds very odd to me too.

sorry, it's just that yesterday, me and my sister got my dad upset over something
(my parents are divorced, so i only see him on sundays)
and he told us that we can't call him anymore

Why can't I find any classic SNL skits on YouTube?? All I wanted to see was the "Making Copies" skit and I can't find it :-/
I can't even watch them as I am in Canada.
That is rather cruel. I'm so sorry. Not dissing your dad or anything, but I hope he realizes that he'll always be your father, no matter what occurs. :(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.
classic SNL! almost forgot!
Chris Farley - French Fries ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YfvBbxE1vU#normal[/url])
It seems to work for me most of the time... weird, maybe they just don't like Nova Scotia lol
OMG I love that one!!! Adam Sandler is so hilarious! I just reaaally wanted to see Making Copies, I have no idea why. Maybe cuz my dad was printing stuff off the computer this morning lolI miss that skit too ha2ha
I miss that skit too ha2ha
you'd either have to buy one of the SNL seasons, or watch it at some virus filled website :-\

I was at f.y.e. today, listening to Wings samples. Then i see a bunch of giggling girls taking pictures of themselves next to the Twilight standees at the back :(
If I was there, I'd be listening to Wings with you and saying how ridiculous Twilight has gotten. I liked it when it wasn't so popular. And in all reality I don't see what the big deal is :PI agree with you about that, the book isn't that great! Half the book describes his appearance, and that must be the reason for the fandom. It's just plain pathetic when they take pictures of themselves with card board :(
But what I really don't understand are those people that are absolutely convinced that they are vampires themselves. It just doesn't make sense. 2chI heard about that too. Blood tastes like metal, how do they live on that? Actually, i'm guessing they're sneaking a sandwich every now and then. :-\

My friend has a big huge crush on Taylor Lautner, and here I am drooling over John Lennon or Mr. Spock or whatever.
I had to Google Taylor Lautner (yes, I am getting old). But anyway, I'd much rather have a crush on John or Spock than Taylor!
Even when I was a teenager, I never had big crushes on stars who were close to my age. I was an odd girl. LOL.
I had to Google Taylor Lautner (yes, I am getting old).Don't worry. So did I!
Just wondering, what do the stars under our username's mean?
I want telemarketers to sniff the bottom of the ocean.
Random thought number 2 :I wish i could stay home today and just "beatle". I have the urge to jus lay in bed and sing along to the sgt peppers album. :( damn you school!
I'm not the only one who just "Beatles" when I'm home!!! LOL. Yah I had that feeling too. Stay home, watch Help!, and listen to my Vinyls and CDs. But noooo I had to go to school and be given truckloads of homework.Ugh thats exactly how I feel. I was soo into it before I had to go it was really sad.

Hmm... I'm starting to get a little bit worried about a friend of mine... I got an e-mail from her 8 days ago saying she felt lonely and depressed and she hasn't replied to my messages since...Worth a visit? A call to a nearby friend?

Been out of touch for a while, Beatle People. My computer was having all kinds of viruses and finally DIED yesterday. The thing was fried!!! So I got my old HP hooked up and :::::so far:::::fine for now. What is with these people who want to infect and ruin your computer??? Find a cure for cancer, that's what I say!!

Just learned that one of my friends who I went to high school with died in a car accident last night :'( She was 20.
I can't even imagine what her family is going through, especially her mom. Natalie was on the phone with her mom at the time when a semi went into her lane and hit her.

NOT ONE of my co-workers got the significance of Blowin' in the Wind to the Civil Rights Movement. NOT ONE!!!! What's wrong with people?
We're doing it anyway though cuz I educated all of them. And now they just feel like idiots. Which they should!Wow. That's a beautiful story. Your workmates must be really hoping they pick you in secret santa. :)
Ohh... Paul... send her family a hug from me... that's awful. :'(
Wow. That's a beautiful story. Your workmates must be really hoping they pick you in secret santa. :)
And let's not forget A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke.
Don't start assuming junk about people just from one random comment venting about some random event.I hoped my smiley face would indicate I wasn't being that serious. But fair enough.
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.The Greatest Love of All - George Benson....It's a classic for the kids to do. Will get most parents tearful. ;)
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.

Some blonde people just annoy the hell out of me, here's why:
me: Okay, so I did 8 of the algebra problems, you just need to solve 5 more.
blond: ...so do we turn it in?
me: no, you need to finish your half of the work
blond: oh...so what's this paper then?
me: that's the homework
blond:oh...should we turn in the problems now?
me:no, you need to finish off your problems
blond: what's this paper for, again?
(etc.)
I got so fed up, that I just did her half, and turned the damn thing in! >:(

Ugh, my roommate is listening to Miley Cyrus and other such garbage... she's 21 years old and listens to this stuff unironically. It makes me want to rip off my arm just so I have something to throw at her.

^If you don't mind me asking, what happened?
^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.
I wonder why the guy had to ask that!! Ouch, though... :-[ I would've been embarrassed too. I hate having weird encounters from the past like that.
^^
Well, maybe by accepting your invitation, she feels more comfortable around you than before. I say wait until you feel it's the right moment to tell her about your feelings again. :)

Joost, had she offered the invitation, it would be a whole new ball game. ;)
LOL, guys. I guess non-fans just won't understand until they get bitten by the "Beatle bug." ;) But yeah, I've been a fan for so long that NOT liking the Beatles is a foreign idea to me. Haha!
no school for 18 days YAY!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
She'd never heard of him. So I said he used to be in The Beatles. She'd never heard of them either.:o :o Wow.
Can someone post a Wings video? I feel like I'm about to cry. :'(
^^
Fantastic performance! That got my mind off things.
Hey, was this in the McCulloch era of Wings?
^^
ha2ha I know, right?
Hey, since I finally don't have anymore school for a while, that gives me more time to make drawings! I haven't made any all week. Anyone want to give me any ideas of what to draw? :P
Oh oh oh oh you should make a Shea Stadium one!! :DOh man, that background I have to draw ha2ha

I think Sondra was looking forward to the holiday break.It's the most wonderful time of the year...
a few days ago she accepted my invitation to go on a city trip together.
We're going to Antwerp tomorrow. :)
BTW, I think it's so tacky to "tweet" their condolences. WTF is wrong with people?
Wow, the actress Britanny Murphy dies this morning. How strange. Wonder what was up. Who dies of a heart attack at 32?It was a cardiac arrest from drug use. :(
They say Brittany took the same drugs as Michael Jackson did. And she did it to lose weight. Everyone wants to be a model these days. We call such extremely thin girls Hangers (for dresses).
I know right? All these girls in my school call themselves "fat" And they're size two's or something! And then there's me who's done growing at 13 and it's really annoying! >:( But I blame the media.Exactly! I have a friend from Health class who's a ballerina, she keeps saying how she wants to lose 15 pounds, even though she's so skinny! :-\
^^
Same thing happened to me, except it was about the things Yoko did after John died, that affected Julian. That person kept acting like Yoko was some sort of saint!

I was so nervous :P
have fun....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.
Man! Getting stuck in traffic for 3 hours on a detour, because a crazy guy has a gun doesn't exactly say Jolly to me! :P
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. :-\
That sounds horrible... Did he flip out because he's just generally nuts, or because it's Christmas and the stress got to him? Jeez.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
aww! Hope you had good holidays though :)
aw that's not so good there! That's so sweet of Jimmy's mum! She seems like such a sweet lady :)
She is :) Here are pictures of the card.
Fabulous!! I am thrilled for you! Thanks for sharing the pics with us.
I can't believe I was carded last night when I ordered a beer. That's pretty funny.
I got white shoes for Christmas, and within two hours I was done drawing all over them. ;D

^What instrument were you playing?? I play on drums! I have like 2 million points on the drums so far, I finally can play on Medium now! ;)
I switch back and forth from guitar and bass but on Helter Skelter I think I played guitar
I scored a 99% singing 'While Guitar Gently Weeps' it was hard with all those high notes! and then that really long note :o but I held it! I would've gotten a 100% but I messed up on the words a little :-\
yeah the singing is quite hard to get on some of them. Have you tried to sing Octopus's Garden yet? UGH that's hard. A lot of low notes.

Aw, man.... you just made me want that game very badly, Randy! X_X ;) Congrats on those millions of drumming points 8)
By the way, Happy New Year, everyone! All the best for 2010 :)
^Are you and the fence okay?Yes. Both are fine, even though the guy whose car I used said he needs some parts. I offered my help but he refused. Silly man. On the same subject, I have another driving lesson on monday! Woot Woot!

I just found out that I'm related to Eric Clapton too!!! ;D today's a good day
Through Patti cause she's my great grandma's daughter's cousin on my mom's dad's side and since they got married makes me related to him by marriage so yeah
Same goes for George
That's impressive. I'm related to Stonewall Jackson by marriage. I think researching family history is fascinating.

I'm in touch with Jimmy's best friend for my project ;D

I have that. Would you like it?

I've never played Wii in my life :o

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
Maybe you should suggest a certain Rolling Stones song.
Is it wrong that I used nail polish to paint on something?Haha I do that alot.. well nailpolish and sharpies.
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?!?!
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
why do my roommates always have drama on nights when I'm trying to sleep?
I'm not sick, but apart from that: you're not alone. :(I know how that feels too, trust me. But here's a soution for you both: Ringo and Dancing! dancing really helped me.
But here's a soution for you both: Ringo and Dancing! dancing really helped me...... and Ringo helped me! ha2ha
On a different note, I would like to warn all of you to never, ever, under any circumstance, do shots of just straight lemon juice. It is nasty, and you will regret the day! *is shaking*
*hugs Emmi* It's okay. Just don't do it again till you're of age.
I'm not so great at giving advice, as you probably already know, but I think the best thing to do is just put it behind you and not let peer pressure get to you again. We all do silly things every now and again.

Your sig line is hilarious ;DThanks! I found it on some other website. :D
Try do something physical, Sondra... might help?
Who irons jeans??? I think its pointless.
My mom always irons her pajamas.
I don't get it either. ha2ha
My grandmother ironed everything - bed sheets, dish towels, underwear... She was a very old school Italian lady lol
Why does Australia have border security? Why?!?! There's no one bordering Australia! Why do they have border security?!?!
my prof's wearing Ugg boots *facepalms*
I think there are some people. I`ve heard that there used to be and still are people going to New Zealand first, but actually aiming to settle down in Australia. So Australia needs security.They have many immigrants by boat chancing their way over. Australia have a reputation for taking a tough stance on illegal immigrants.
I love how this autograph of Macca claims to be "authentic" yet they can't even spell McCartney right ha2ha Paul McCarthy? FAIL.

That is hilarious! People are so dumb! ha2ha
And really cool autograph Paul! That's awesome that you got that, I would be so happy too! ;D
I know right? The prices are outrageous.
Thanks :) It's something that I wish cherish forever.
I am the happiest person on the planet because I now own an authentic Jimmy autograph! One of the people that I'm in touch with for my project, who knew Jimmy, was kind enough to give me a Wings postcard from 1977 that Jimmy gave him and although the ink has faded, you can see where Jimmy wrote "Lots of Love, Jimmy McCulloch" It was a total surprise.

Notes: Love From Paul McCarthy XXX
At school. one of my friends sprayed me with her perfume, and now I smell like 'Obsession' whatever that's supposed to smell like. :P
I feel that I am getting slightly addicted to Facebook games. :-\ I can't stop playing them!

I've made it my goal to get to Europe this summer. I can't seem to talk any of my cheap ass friends into it though, so I might do one of those tours. Cuz I'd be too much of a nervous wreck on my own! I wanna do London, Paris, and Rome I think. But I don't know. Any suggestions from those who've done it?
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.
I haven't been to much of Europe though I loved Scotland. It would be fun to do the Liverpool thing, but it would be better to go with another Beatles fan.

I'm not nervous about being a woman traveling alone.
I'm not nervous about being a woman traveling alone. I'm nervous because I have no sense of direction, I wouldn't want to eat by myself in restaurants, I'm a retard with languages and would want to go to France and Italy and a host of other reasons related to the fact that I'm lazy and would rather have someone else do all the planning!! ;D
Forgive me for making assumptions. I should have known better with a girl like you! ;)
You'll find English commonly spoken in Europe, Sondra.
Well, today during play practice my play diretor brough his daughter along. So while we were practicing, she apparenly went on the side of the stage behind the curtains and found a condom, she blew it up and ran up to our play director and started shouting, "Daddy! I found a ballon!" Oh it was so sad yet so hilarious.
I'm a great little sister. I just called out my sister on her owing me money in front of my mommy. It's about time she gets that attitude adjustment. She threw a tantrum. I'm great!
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.

I know. But my fear is being mocked. ;D
Welcome to the Dutch countryside anytime.
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.
Haha sometimes we need to remind them why they should appreciate us in the first place, Im a little sister too. ha2ha
I just made Wii Mii characters out of all four of the Beatles. I made George, (he looks pretty damn cute!) and my mom made the other three. We were playing Wii Bowling; Ringo Vs George. ha2ha

We've done that here too. Anyone play the Sims? Cuz you could do the same there!
Ever since we've been learning about it in such depth, all of us at work are dying to go there. It's like you guys have the perfect lifestyle in the most beautiful setting. No fair.
ha2ha that sounds very cute! And a very good idea!Maybe I'll post pics of them later. I'm really proud of how we made them. ;D
Anyone play the Sims?Oh my God YES! LOL. I made myself once, and I think I died in a fire. :P Yeah, it's fun to make stuff from real life on that game. :)
YAY!!!! BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY BLACKBERRY :):):) I'm loving it!
I think I'm being ignored...
I think I'm being ignored...I'll pay attention to you! ha2ha
World Geography is stupid now. Mainly because I was paired with this girl to make some fake newspaper article based on the Aztecs. I was supposed to do 2 articles and a political cartoon. I get those done and I give it to my partner to paste onto the poster board. She points out that she wrote her own article, and then she wrinkled her nose at my cartoon! I was irritated inside! I worked all night on those articles, dammit! The cartoon also. (I drew Montezuma being a prisoner to Hernando Cortez, like she told me to. Bleh. >:( )

@I_Will: AMAZING!!! I love that video!
Ugh, I hate those type of people. Just ignore them! And from the looks of your Beatles drawings, your cartoon was probably epic. My (ex) Best friend was like that all the time! There's a reason she's my ex BFFI can't, she sits at my table! I didn't really care if she liked the drawing or not, the articles were the challenge. All I know is that if we ever have to do optional partner assignments, I'll work alone. :P (She was the one who asked me to be her partner, lucky me.)

Ah, that sucks! But for projects I usually do it alone or with someone I know I'd get along with. Like I just wrote a 3 page civil war paper by myself when everyone else had partners.
Haha I hate working with other people on projects!I can relate. I just wanna do it and have other people let me be. ha2ha
Everyone hates group projects. So why do teachers keep assigning them?! ha2ha
I have some group stuff this semester, but at least the ladies in my group are pretty nice.
I just saw Ringo on the Hope For Haiti telethon! He was answering phone calls! ;)I would have died if I had called and Ringo picked up the phone. ha2ha
I would have died if I had called and Ringo picked up the phone. ha2ha
Yeah, me too! I would have flipped out.

It's weird hearing The Beatles Singing Elvis Songs. ha2ha
Lol is it really about Zombie Beatles?I am deathly afraid of zombies, but if I saw The Beatles as zombies... I think I'd be fine. ha2ha
Cause that sounds awesome. ;D
Paul McCartney & Wings - Name & Address ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfTsl9an6S4#normal[/url])
Paul does a darn good impression of Elvis!!
He does do a good job, especially considering Elvis was a baritone and Paul's a tenor!
I almost left FNU at school today. I overslept, and my daddy and I were supposed to pick her up. Haha!
I just found out there's a book called Paul is Undead... Oooo zombie beatles hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha fun (sorry I'm really hyper right now ;D)That sounds REALLY cool!!! i love zombies and i love the beatles!! perfect combo!!
Poor FNU. Did you not go to school today since you were sleeping?
I hate that I'm so attracted to Simon Cowell! It's sooooooo wrong!
^^It's not wrong, there's definitely something oddly sexy about him.
^^It's not wrong, there's definitely something oddly sexy about him.
Why the hell is the "Duggar" family still having kids?! They're newest kid is only two pounds in weight!! I think that's a warning sign that her body can't handle having more kids. I mean 19 kids!!!!
My grandma had sixteen kids and a few unmentioned miscarriages. A good old-fashioned catholic tradition...
I don't mean to be stereotypical here, but that was more explainable back then. In this generation it doesn't make any sense. The Duggars had more kids then your grandmother even, and they most likely will have more.

LOL! I used to have a crush on him.... ha2ha
^Really? Seacrest? His last name sounds like some weird vegetable.
"Would you like some Seacrest on your salad, miss?"
LOL I used to like Ryan Seacrest ha2ha. I'm glad that ended quickly :P
And I present to you... Ryan Seacrest as a kid!

You're joking.
LOL! I used to have a crush on him.... ha2ha
I wonder what it is about Simon Cowell that attracts women (myself included, very unfortunately). He's kinda like Mr. Darcy but way more evil. ha2ha
I have a stalker.
For most of the time, I've come to terms with my insomnia, but it's times like these when I just feel so utterly drained and miserable, that I just wish I could sleep.
^^I wish it could, but I just physically cannot sleep when this happens. But listening to Beatles music does still make me feel better :)
I have a stalker.
How many minutes of Beatles music are there back to back. heheh
More than 19 hours (I still have a couple more albums to go though) lol - and that is including Love, Live at the BBC, Let It Be... Naked, ant the Anthologies
Should I be worried? I just saw a car driving backwards on the highway.
I kno this is really childish of me to say but I REALLY DONT WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!! I wanna stay home and listen to Elton John and the Beatles.. and other wonder ppl who make wonderful music!
Yep, you missed it. That's okay though. Belated wishes are just as good. :D
Happy belated bday! ;D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. LENNON/NIMOY!!! :) :)
Happy Belated Birthday, Mrs. Lennon!Thanks, everybody! ;D
Ok I was sitting here watching the Today show and they were suppose to go to a "commercial", but instead it got stuck on the shows telecast and then "Yellow Submarine" started to play!!! Ahhhh made me so excited!! ;D ;D
Best technical difficulties ever!
A friend just told me that some restaurants have started incorporating text message ordering.
This is just one of those moments when I wonder if maybe the human race is unevolving.
You do remember that video I sent you last night... right?
Does that answer your question? :D

Good luck with your exams!
I'm with you on the going to sleep thing. I got pretty drunk on Monday and ended up going to bed at threeish. And yet I managed to wake up way early at 7:10! And I wasn't tired. It was the weirdest thing.
^^Yeah last year I saw one of the most bizarre things. A girl in my art class took out a Xanax (or however you spell it), crushed it with her pencil, and snorted it with A TAMPON APPLICATOR. Right there, with the teacher at his desk.
I feel like I've officially seen everything.
I'm a little worried. Whenever I walk to my 3rd period class, I pass this set of water fountains. And one day, this blond dude with bloodshot, wide eyes, and damp looking hair was trembling as he filled his water bottle up. He kept looking behind him as if he might get caught for something. He looked like a coach to me, but wow that was a frightening image.

^^Haha there were lots of pregnant girls at my old school. The funny thing was, is that the school is a mix of really well off, polo wearing jocks, and very low income, not so well off students. I think it's because the school takes in students from SUCH a huge area.
Oh my gosh! I went to my dance class tonight and we all told what we're doing for the summer and I said I might be getting to see Paul McCartney in concert and everyone just stared in silence and didn't know who he was! :o :'(SERIOUSLY!!!!! Where do you live man!!!! Shocking! :o
Just got back from Australia... I am sunburnt all over! Literally! Even managed to burn my chin and mouth! Do you know how ugly it all looks? But I had a great time in Oz!
SERIOUSLY!!!!! Where do you live man!!!! Shocking! :o
I sent the worst possible drunk texts last night. Seriously considering leaving my cell phone at home from now on.
SERIOUSLY!!!!! Where do you live man!!!! Shocking! :o

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.Are you serious? Because just yesterday in my Biology class, this boy at my table was sniffling every 2 seconds also! Which highly got on my nerves because I was taking a major test.
Just booked my next holiday... I'm going to Morocco in April! :)
Plus, there are no Beatles in Mesa.
The best part is when you read something that you just KNOW one of your friends said!
Plus, there are no Beatles in Mesa.
I just realized that some people can name all of the elements on the periodic table... and I can name all 151 original Pokemon. I think I need to pay more attention in school. ha2ha
I realized on my way home though, that every time I get behind the wheel of my car I hear Spongebob's voice in my head saying, "Floor it?"
I'd rather not. :)
I actually feel WORSE after a little nap. *headdesk* Kill me.
^Does someone need a hug?
I'm not watching the superbowl, I'm watching the puppy bowl on Animal Planet!! lolHaha thats kick @$$!!!
Haha thats kick @$$!!!
Im annoyed at how cliche some mondern books are! Im tired of having to read a vampire book and having a werewolf be apart of it. I swear im tired of this vampire vs werewolf crap. ZOMBIES are clearly the best! that is all.. >:(
I'm not watching the superbowl, I'm watching the puppy bowl on Animal Planet!! lol
What about Zombie-vampires? LOL don't hit me! :P
I'm so nervours! On 15th February I'll start the course for admission to a new college!And on that day I'll be celebrating 2yrs of working in Woolworthes (not that anyone cares... )
My best friend thinks this of The Beatles in regards to their looks:
Paul: She thinks he's gorgeous (;D)
John: She thinks he's adorable
George: She thinks he's really, really ugly (ha2ha)
Ringo: She thinks he's so funny looking that he's cute :(
Hahaha
And on that day I'll be celebrating 2yrs of working in Woolworthes (not that anyone cares... )
Dont forget to celebrate love the day before ;)
George: She thinks he's really, really ugly (ha2ha)
Paul: She thinks he's gorgeous (;D)
George: She thinks he's really, really ugly (ha2ha)
Seems like April is going to be a pretty cool month:Wow that list is awesome!!! All the best with your performance and have fun!!!
- Going away for a weekend with some friends.
- Going to the Groezrock festival.
- Got my first live performance in over a year, and my first time ever doing lead vocals. 2ch
- And I'm going to Morocco!
This is my 4th week of being sick. I think Im dying. Oh well that jus means I have to do alot of beatle related stuff before I go.
^Cheese is delicious and lovable.
^I'm not going to let you die!
^^I'm guessing you live in the Northeast of the US as well?
CHeese is officially my valentine!!How can this be when it's already my valentine?
^^I know the feeling. Because Delaware doesn't get much snow, people here FREAK OUT when there's even a little of it (Schools usually get canceled for an inch or even less). So now that we actually have a substantial amount of it, EVERYTHING is closed. ugggggh
Ugh... I so do not want to do my history homework. >:(How can this be when it's already my valentine?Oh snap!.. emm... wanna flip a coin?.. I can have chocolate milk as a back up if me and cheese doesnt work out. ;D
^I think that's what we would call a state of emergency.
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.
Taking a break from a busy day.. thinking abt watching a movie while wrapping valentine's day treats for the amigos then Math home work after! ( I swear I ALWAYS have math home work!)
^^Just do what I'm doing, pretend Paul McCartney is your valentine ;)
Valentine's day is dumb. I spent last year eating junk food alone in my dorm room and agonizing over a gay man, I'll spend it with friends this year. But I'll probably just get drunk and end up singing Fleetwood Mac.
My random thought, Oomu is an idiot because she was looking for a picture that she reblogged on HER OWN blog, and I just had to look in her archives to find it :P
^^([url]http://i49.tinypic.com/2817l07.png[/url])
I still have no life by the way
^If it's real, I think it's pretty funny actually that she's not a "fan" of his official page.
Anyway, if Angie and Paul hate each other, then it's really no surprise that she's not going to be his fan. ha2ha

Oh Emmi, boys and junior high/high school...they're scummy and immature, at least that's how I remember most of them. Me = Been there, done that more times than I'd like to remember. I'm so sorry. At least some of them DO grow up to be pretty good men; it just takes time. :-\ *hugs*
Thanks. There is this one guy I Really like. And he plays drums, and he is really sweet. We were hanging out a lot but then he said he didn't like me, and it was like WTF? Because he was hitting on me and crap.... UGH

What`s wrong with the neighbours, Andy? Are they too noisy? Do they disturb you by borrowing salt and what not? What kind of dispute is it?
Can eating too much chocolate make you sick?
Can eating too much chocolate make you sick?
ever since i moved in my flat they are just so noisy and have no respect for other people. they play very loud music late nights and early mornings, and they have bad arguments at like 3 in the morning. a woman lives there and she brings these strange men back every night which raises a few questions. i think there are strange situations going on too, its the upsatirs so i get it the worse living on the bottom floor. i reported them to the housing company and police on several occasions and i am having some equipment put in my flat next monday to catch them out and the dreadful noise they make every night, my sleeping has been dreadful. i am very strong and i have great people helping me so we will get it sorted. Power to the People!! :D

Well, it's tomorrow for you here today now. In another three hours, it will be tomorrow for you there too. ;)
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.
Good Luck JMF! It looks like it's going to be a good movie! Spring like temperatures here, don't send the snow my way please ;)
really hope you feel better soon Emily!
Really? How is this happening?
I showed my sister, who works at the Converse shoe company, some of my random artwork, and she was like, "I'll see if I can get these as prints on shoes."
I just turned 16! woo lol

You got tickets?
And why would that be, Ms Bones?
Yay!! Just got tickets to see Macca at the Hollywood Bowl next month!! Yayyy!! Has he played there since his Beatle days?? I CAN'T WAIT!!
^I'm in P1 row one. Hope they're okay seats! It was the best I could do without spending a small fortune!
Yes to Randy and to answer Mrs L...I got a ticket to see Paulie at the Hollywood Bowl next month!! Time to be Paulinated again. :P :D
Wow! that sounds like so much fun! I can't believe you get to see him again! All I'm asking for is just once man! :P
^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?? :'(
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 )
Has Ringo updated his tour list, BTW?
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!
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!
Today one of our university tutors showed us the video for Aphex Twin - "Come To Daddy"... I'm not easily offended, but that guy makes some weird music and even sicker videos. Officially off the rails, and scares me a little. :-\That is one disturbing video! lol

That is one disturbing video! lol
I don't feel like I fit in this forums at all. :(
Awww how come?
I try to write something and it just gets passed on by with other posts and also I just can't find a good Ringo fan to be friends with. You're nice to chat with though.
Awww it just takes time to kind of find your place! I only joined in November, but look how posts I have! That's the key, just keep posting. And you should try posting a lot in the Ringo solo forum to find more Ringo fans. I found Paul fans by posting in the Paul solo forum!
You're a true Beatles fan with that many posts lol!
I'll try this. Hopefully this will work for me. Thanks! :)

And you should try posting a lot in the Ringo solo forum to find more Ringo fans. I found Paul fans by posting in the Paul solo forum!
Agreed; it's easier to find like-minded fans if you post in your fave Beatle's solo forum. I always enjoy meeting friendly Paul fangirls anyhow.
Also, as far as Ringo fans go, I think Breedofrandy and Octie are the biggest Ringo-lovers here. :)
Was about to suggest them! :P Also keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to have Ringo fans to get along with. I get along with I_Will and Emmi very well and they both blather on about Paul incessantly. ha2ha Of course I've also discovered that MrsHarrison and I are practically the same person. ;D
I guess what it comes down to is spreading yourself about the forum and reaching out to whoever's friendly! Which, by the way, is everyone. ;)
OMG... My brother loves that type of music. Aphex Twin, Infected Mushroom, Skinny Puppy, Opeth, all of those sorts... I use to have the song "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin on my first MP3 player, it was rather funny to see my friends reactions to it lol
OMG
Glee is amazing when you're high~!

Back to uni this week... YAY!!! I'm bored of the hols hehe
You're cheering about going BACK to school?? Ahhhhh! *is horrified*I was so bored at home!
Hahahaha. ;)
I was so bored at home!
My sleep schedule is so messed up. I'm not normal.
I have a very unsympathetic manager.
^ Why?
:( That totally sucks, JMF. I don't know what it's like to have divorced parents but it's sad that your dad treats you that way. I'm sure you don't even deserve that.
Arghh.... all this talk around here about people going to see Paul and/or Ringo...... X_X *wistfulness*
A disadvantage of living in the antipodes, I guess ;)
^ I hope it doesnt stain.
Random thought: Does pee stain?
Runny noses aren't fun.
Aw, feel better JMF! I know that there's a lot of colds/flus going around right now!
My stalker is texting me. FML.
I usually will start laughing because I'm so scared. I know I'm crazy.You're not crazy! I do that too. ha2ha The nurse will be trying to stick me and she'll have to tell me to shut up because she can't do it with me giggling like mad.
Dude, I hate 'em too. I'm pretty sure I will never be a doctor! You're not crazy! I do that too. ha2ha The nurse will be trying to stick me and she'll have to tell me to shut up because she can't do it with me giggling like mad.
^Oh man I'm sorry to hear that Penny. I hate needles too. Just make sure you don't watch, when I was younger I watched them take blood out of me without knowing how I would feel later. Oh god worst ever, I felt all dizzy! So now I just make sure not to look or try not to think about it! I usually will start laughing because I'm so scared. I know I'm crazy.

Yes! I thought that I'd probably get some ointment or something. I apparently had hives, which basically look like giant mosquito bites all over your body. At least that stuff worked amazingly quick.
My language teacher told me that last night, she had a dream where I was at her house and her husband asked me if I was "feeling okay," then I ran into another room and puked on her nice wood flooring. ??? I didn't know what to say to her.

HG, the chick wasn't a teacher, but a college student learning to be one. But I agree with you.
Aaand, my spring break will be all of two or three days off. *cries*
She has no place externing in your school. Quite frankly, she should consider pursuing a different career.
Aw man..... all those needle stories just before... :-\ hope you guys keep healthy and don't need any more injections/blood-tests anytime soon!
That makes me think. Paul, where would you consider to be the cut-off of 'short'? LOL just wondering. :)
5'4" It's good at least somebody doesn't think I'm short. :D
I Sit Belonely Down A Tree,

my favorite poem EVER. Ironically enough it's a John one :P (I know theres more, but I can't think of it off the top of my head)
I got a new Beatles T-shirt today!! And I'm disproportionately excited about that ha2ha
^ Is your hair thick like mine?
What does it look like??
Whoa, your BF and friends sound like killjoys. I'd go with you if I lived anywhere near Leeds!
I got me a dance partner!!!! Yay!
It looks like them around 1964-ish, in a concert. I should take a piccie sometime when I'm wearing it :)
I swear I'm a maniac, I just finished a 300 pg book in less than 2 hours.... Blah... I need to get a life.Books are good but you know whats better?

A reason to like The Beatles: It gives you the excuse to watch children's TV.
I swear I'm a maniac, I just finished a 300 pg book in less than 2 hours.... Blah... I need to get a life.
My god you read FAST.
She's always hated the fact that I wanted to pursue a career in music, since it was my dad doing the exact same thing that broke up their marriage.
Here's how it normally works for me:
1. Girl is attracted to you because you're seen as a bit of a drug taking rebel
2. After 6 months she asks you to stop. So you do.
3. 1 year later she leaves you for being "boring."
Life's a b****.
I'm excited about my future though. There are endless opportunities out there, and if I have to reduce myself to crawling around after people like a dog to get to them, I'll do it. I don't know what I'll do if music stops being the focus point of my life! :-X
Yeah, just go for it! And if it doesn't work out, to quote the Red Hot Chili Peppers quoting the Butthole Surfers: It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do. :)
Thanks AAB! I'm gonna need all the luck I can get :)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. :)
And I get where you're coming from, Joost. People can dislike something like that even when it's a good thing... but I guess you just have to stick with what works and what doesn't, like my parents did. My dad decided it was too much to have a family and pursue music at the same time, so he stuck to music. It's a shame, and I can see how it inflicted my mum when I started focusing on music as a career. It meant a lot that she'd support me even though she'd rather I wasn't a musician. :)

My story is pretty much the well-known nerd cliche... Girl likes me "just as a friend", I'm not her type because she prefers the bad boy types, after a while she'll come complaining because her boyfriend is so insensitive and she'll ask me why he can't be a nice guy like me. That actually happened to me a few times...I am the opposite of you, Joost. Guys fall for me all the time, I tell them I just want to be friends, they stil try to ask me out, I say no, then they get all sh*tty at me.
Guys fall for me all the time

Why do I get so nervous when I drive...? *frustration*
I became a Coldplay fan!!!!!!! ;yes
^ Aside from the flooding....yay!!
all the way to Eau Claire, Wisconson to pick up the guitar.
"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!!!
Me and Ringo ride the same bus, apparently. :P
I've been there! LOL... What are you going to name it?
LOL I wanted to name it George
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

Did anyone get April-fooled today? ;)
Yuck. It's like a new race of bizarre phone people. Eventually the phone should just fuse to their heads and be done with it.
That's already happened with Bluetooth. They really crack me up, walking around seemingly talking to themselves. It's getting hard telling them apart from people who walk around really talking to themselves!Yeah, and you live in NY, where seeing people walking around talking to themselves isn't any new phenomenon! Here's a heads up. The people on their phones are the ones NOT talking about the end of the world. ;D
^ Ditto. I hate eating with people who can't be separated from their phones at dinner! That goes for the movies too.
Right now I'm so ticked...the plumbing in our apartment has gone to hell!!!! Our toilets and tub aren't draining and one of toilets overflowed...argh. I wonder if one of our neighbors flushed a sock down or something. >:( >:( >:(

I just learned what "Welcome to Bangkok" means that's not exactly a nice saying
Good to be back home :)I cant help but think of the rude jokes about the name of the place..... ha2ha (no offenced to any Bangkokians!)
I have no idea what it means.... but it reminds me of a Rush song about them being on the train to Bangkok...
I love your new icon and signature picture!! ;D ;D

He's trapped for TWO MONTHS.

All Dutch travellers that are currently stuck in Barcelona and flying with Ryanair were told today that they won't be able to fly back home until May 3rd. That's almost two weeks from now. That's just insane.Thanks for this Joost...I am due to book someone on a flight to meet us in Holland this Sunday but I am now getting really worried about the practicality of getting back if we even get out at all. Some flights in Scotland flying above 20,000ft are flying again but now the ban has been extended till tomorrow by the EU. :-\
I'm a newbie, and I thought random thoughts thread sounded like a good place to start.
So hi? : )
Hello there, blackbird. How are you enjoying the forums so far? I hope you make some great friends! Always good to see more Beatles fans.

Can someone please delay Monday from coming so soon? x_x
I'm really loving it so far, everyone on here seems really nice! Thanks.
I'm Viv by the way. (:
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you! University is time-consuming. :P
Nice name, Viv. I'm Shirli. ;)

That's ok.
Nice to meet you, Shirli!
How are you?
OMG OMG, I'M GOING TO A ROBERT PLANT AND STING CONCERT THIS SUMMER!!Sting AND Robert Plant? Good God! Please take me with you! If not that, take a whole bunch of pictures for us. ha2ha
And possibly Roger Waters in November!!! ;D ;D ;D
OMG OMG OMG OMG!! The Doctor and Amy are going to face the Weeping Angels on Doctor Who this weekend!! EEEPP!!! :D :D D :D :D :D
When we moved into student halls of residence, we were told that incense was banned because it would set off the smoke alarms. Turns out they were lying just to deprive us of "hippy" stuff like that, so today I marched right down to the nearest spiritual shop and bought myself a new incense burner and a crapload of Nag Champa. After burning some incense, putting on so many candles that my room looks like a cathedral, and listening to Ravi Shankar, I have now also been called a "big crazy-Georgie-hippy". ;D

I got my bike today! It's sitting in my garage. I already put on the bell.
Doctor Who tonight Doctor Who tonight Doctor Who tonight Doctor Who tonight DOCTOR WHO TONIGHT!!!!! :D Yay! :D
(I'm a wee bit exited)
Guruz - it was really sad reading your post above... I had a similar incident. Some random dude tried to give me a lift to work and then he followed me to work and asked if I wanted to have coffee with him. Good thing I didnt see him again
Has any of you seen this old SNL intro? ;D

Well I think I'll stop coming to these forums for a while I might start a new account (I'm getting a new email and deleting everything under that email) so I guess this is the end of me on these forums :'(. Until I get the new email up and running of course! See ya til' then
I'm quite proud of myself for completing a new song I've been working on for ages! If anyone would like to hear it, it's the first song on the player of my Myspace. :D

My parents are going out of town, so my cousin is coming to watch us for the weekend. I could stay by myself, but they don't want to leave my lil brother with me for the night, so it's best if we have someone here.
4 more days of school for me! Wee! :)
Emmi I'm so jealous, I have to stay till the 9th. Then, I get summer school! Yay! :P ha2ha

Wow, haven't been here for ages!
A big wave to all of you Beatley friends!

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

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

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need

That's one of my favourite Stones songs.

I still don't see what's so great about the Stones. I just don't get it.

Always liked them, Cor. For the same reason I've always liked The Animals.

I mean, do people not learn good manners these days?
Got back from the Hollywood Bowl tonight for their Beatles celebration. I'm so sleepy now!
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!!
I still don't see what's so great about the Stones. I just don't get it.

I'd say you're on the right track. You don't need help at all.
Hahaha yeah, what makes you think that this is a problem, Emmi? You've got the BEST taste! ;D
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
I'm sick of people thinking something is so cool when it really is just plain dumb. >:(

Have the forums been down for the past few days for everyone else too?Let’s put it “weeks” instead of ”days”; and yes, for me too!
Good to see the forum back up and running though :)
..... soo much work..... and it's not as if I can keep working on it at home at nights, coz I kinda need the client and their documents... don't think I'll finish what's been allocated to me by the end of this week, darnit :(
Keep us updated, Joost!
Just watching the old dance shows from last year and came across this:Cool 8) Do you do Irish dance, RingoFan? I was at a friend's 21st the other day, and her family is originally from Ireland, and there was some Irish dancing going on there. Good fun :)
Well, correct me if I’m wrong, Octie, but would you agree that we have been passing through the Sea of Time?
Ad hoc, ad lock and quid pro quo…so little time, so much to know!
;)

I saw Robert Plant a couple weeks ago. Front row!:o :o You lucky thing!

Thank God for uni breaks!
Grrr why can't I find any pictures of Donovan on the internet?? -waterboards the internet-

Hope you all have a good first day back! :)

Hmm, the people I'm working with this week are so chatty, to the point that it's really hard to concentrate... they are really lovely people (plus they are at a more senior position than me), so I can't bring myself to tell them to turn it down a bit... :-\ I need better concentration/blocking-out skills!
This month is going to be my travelling month... got two out-of-town jobs coming up: one starts tomorrow, the other's in 2 weeks' time, with a week back in town in between...
I can officially announce that I'M GOING ON THE MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR NEXT WEEK!!! *Explodes* :o ;D

...you don't know what the Magical Mystery Tour is? I've never met anyone who doesn't! :-\
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 don't want to study tonight, I don't want to have an exam the week after next, I don't want to fill out feedback request forms for all the jobs I've been on for the past 3 months, and I don't want daylight saving time to take away one hour of sleep tonight.

i got ran out of the chatroom....bad scene....... :-\ :( :( :(
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!!! >:( >:(
Your chatroom or the one in here? Report to mods and/or admins?in here...i think it was the company there that ran me out....they igore you like you aren't there at all....at first they were nice but then they starting acting their age and i got insulted some how and ignored.....no report necessary....i just won't use dmitrys chat again....simple solution....
Sometimes it's a royal pain to have to work with others, especially if they are not too responsible.

"I work better alone."
Hmm..... it appears that impossible real-life crushes lack many of the advantages of equally impossible celebrity crushes... darnit. Right, study time!
And what are these perceived advantages of impossible celebrity crushes, pray tell?
Of course, I'm asking this while staring at my Paul background slideshow. :P
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... ;)

I've checked out a couple people in my life... you're not stalking unless you're planning on doing something bad. I have had trouble explaining the whole situation in the end though... or you just don't tell them at all. ;)Haha, I intend to ensure that that particular person never, ever, ever finds out (well, unless he is a member of this forum, which is so unlikely as to be impossible... different music taste and all).
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?The trouble is... the trouble is that I'm not in HS anymore :-[

These are interesting times. Several things that I've been dreaming of for years are now simultaneously on the verge of becoming reality. I suppose that means that the next few months will either be the best ever, or excruciatingly dissapointing.
;D ;D Yay!
I'm trying to convince my hubby to get me a Paulie jacket for Christmas. It's pricey but I like it.
([url]http://media.musictoday.com/store/bands/2003/product_large/BGCMPM01.JPG[/url])
However, hubby hates the style (and he's not a Paul fan anyway) so he doesn't want to get it. roll:) :( :(
Thanks!
Oh, and the first two songs from my singer/songwriter-project are finally ready! :)

Those songs sound pretty good, Joost. A sixties feel. Maybe you should try to get a more compact sound, that is as if it WAS 60's.
I see what you mean. Maybe try a little less reverb and other effects. Faking? Dunno. Give it a try! ha2ha

I'm okay, thanks for asking! High school has been very interesting so far. Good (for the most part...hehe) grades, some....interesting teachers. At least I'm not failing anything, eh? ha2ha
Braces off. :D :D :D
It's Hanukkah!!!! Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!
My solo was given to someone else for the show I'm in. FML!
Was the solo already yours or had you put your hopes on it?
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.
Hey everyone... Decided to pop back into the world of DM's! Distraction before exams maybe?

The client I'm on at the moment listens to a radio station that plays the same songs every day, several times a day... as a result I have "hey soul sister, ain't that Mr Mister" going round and round in my head all day ;)
Christmas with my insane family, please, someone shoot me...
Well, shake it!
;)
I'm having some minor surgery done tomorrow, the funeral the day after tomorrow and I was supposed to have a job interview tomorrow which I had to postpone, so these are some pretty stressful days right before christmas. :-\
One of my uncles took his own life this morning. Although he was a really good person, life certainly hasn't been kind to him, so I hope he's at peace now.

I became uncle Joost two hours ago. :)
So you're the one who's going to spoil the little child. lol. Congratulations Joost.
Well, she's the first grandchild for both sets of grandparents, so it seems I'll have to get in line if I want to spoil her. :D
But I'm sure you'll be the pusher of Beach Boys and Beatles :) hehe!

Too many cool people that used to be on this board have gone. I think they should stop pretending they've got better things to do. ;)

Don't worry about it, my boyfriend isn't exactly overjoyed that I love John Lennon so much, but after I pointed out the fact that there's zero chance of me and John ever meeting in this world, he kinda relaxed. :P
Although he's not so forgiving of my love of Brian May... obviously I'm attracted to the 1970's Brian that was in his 20's, like I am now... NOT as a man the same age as my father! :o

You LUCKY GIRL! I'm eternally jealous. Of course I'm holding out for him playing a gig that's anywhere I can get to, but I'm not banking on it. Enjoy it for the both of us, won't you? Although if you're planning on throwing your knickers or anything like that, you don't have to do THAT on my behalf... my undercrackers are reserved for our Johnny only. *Aims slingshot with knickers at Heaven* ;D

You're so young...maybe you just need a little more time??
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!
I can understand your doubts. 17 Seems a bit young to me for such a big step. At that age I really didn't have the slightest clue what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
By the way, going by your screen name I always assumed you were 46/47... ha2ha
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.
Aww...it sounds like you've got a lot going on and some tough choices to make. I wish you all the best.
lol no I'm not. Only 17. People where I live plan on getting married in high school and once their parents know, it's set. People get mad if you don't.It's a wonderful thing to make people get mad.
It's a wonderful thing to make people get mad.

A good friends son jumped off a five store parking the other day. He broke almost every bone in his body but somehow survived. Big surgery on his back tomorrow and then waiting how he will be awaking.
I got lost two days ago >:( I wandered around the WHOLE city for over 2 hours until I finally found my way back home...yes, I was terrified O_O
^^ Haha, that's when I wander through the parking lot pressing the "panic" button my my remote lock!

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...
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.
Seriously? And he doesn't see anything wrong with being around his ex? Can I just go and slap your boyfriend? Please?
My cell phone got suspended for nonpayment!
Pineapple is delicious.
Indeed! Now I want pineapple... ;D
I'll give you some of mine ;D
Pineapple is delicious.
Had a BBQ with the entire family today ;D I played T.Rex and Beatles to my niece and nephew when they were crying and it worked! :D
Bahaha nice! It's like the baby shower gift I just picked up for my friend, I got the little man his first Beatles shirts :)
So last night by boyfriend threw me a party since my birthday is on Tuesday.
Back from Greece! Had terrible weather for a while, but a really good time nonetheless (seems like kiwis bring the weather with them).
I'm back to DMs!!!!! Woot Woot!
Wow... My laptop died a while ago and yesterday I was trying to buy a new one online, even though I can't really afford it right now. 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
Mmm. Special powers at work here.
I ran away... from home... I'm not going back for a long time... ;yes
I ran away... from home... I'm not going back for a long time... ;yes
Seriously? Are you okay??
Oh no.... I hope you have a place to stay, and that things work out... take care!!
Thank you. Everything will be fine now that I'm outta there.
For those of you who know Paul (Jimmy McCulloch Fan) please just hope he doesn't get blown away by a tornado. Stay safe! ;yes
Hope everyone has a safe weekend...!
Have you heard anything from him? I hope he's okay.
Low gastric ADH
Yes he's okay! I'm glad he survived. Feel sorry for Missouri and the families.
haha, that's kinda what I was thinking but I'm not feeling tipsy in any other way. Maybe it's just been a long week and the alcohol's mellowing me out! (Not to mention it usually takes me about 3 or 4 drinks to even feel tipsy)
I ran away... from home... I'm not going back for a long time... ;yes
Good luck. I hope you won't do anything that you'll regret later...
A girl in my previous school got severly beaten by a group of other girls...they actually stomped and kicked her in the head several times!!!!!! She was in the same grade as me (8th)!!!!!! There's a pretty good chance I know who she is :-\
And that is why I left school. Period. But I was bullied by a young boy who wanted to stab me. 2ch
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.
That I can relate to, unfortunetly :-\ I changed schools, though ;yes
And I hope nothing bad happens to your boyfriend! There seems to be so many disasters going on :o with the earthquakes, volcano eruptions etc.
Isn't it pretty!? I still have to put up all my posters, though ;yes
That's a great poster, AppleScruffy. Love the Mick/Keith picture ;). And your room looks pretty and welcoming, too. :)
That's terrible! I hope everything's alright with you now! :) I can't imagine what's it's like to be in that kinda situation :-\
and HeyJude, I hope your "boyfriend" is doing well.
Mine's still being a jerk but my best guy friendish person is helping me with stuff moving etc. and he loves milkshakes so we're both gaining weight when we eat at Culver's constantly. lol :P

^ I can't remember where you are but there's a site here called kijiji.ca where you can basically sell/buy anything

Haha, kijiji sorry, I'm in a silly mood.
Anybody ever heard of Beatle Lulz? It's HILARIOUS ;D
I haven't. Do tell! ;)

I had it in my favorites and didn't even know it! Thanks for the reminder. :D
lol the first time I hear the song "Hang on Sloopy"I thought I hear them saying "Hang on Stupid" :P
Anybody else have strange lyric errors that are funny? ;D
I thought it was "Hang On Snoopy" when I was little. I pictured him flying around, hanging onto his doghouse. ha2ha
BTW, there is a Misheard Beatles Lyrics thread in the Beatles forum. Sorry I don't know how to post a link for it.
In Penny lane I though she was selling puppies from a tray ha2ha instead of poppies

I hope that works out for you!

Rick Derringer sang Hang on Sloopy at the concert! :D Since then I've been a wee bit obsessed with that song ha2ha

Cool video! You know...the song really reminds me of a Grease song ha2ha can't remember which one though, I'll have to watch Grease again.
At the time, I remember an RN who was triaging patients in the ER responding this way to a patient's chief complaint of having chills: "Are they multiplying?"
I guess the next question could have been "Are you losing control?"
A lot of those nurses wound up getting haircuts like Sandy at the end of the movie...

GAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! I need to go see Paul McCartney in concert!!!!!! It would help me SO much right now.
By the way... my boyfriend is getting back to himself again and his doctor added some new medicines etc. so he's not so crazy in emotions and it cuts down the ticks (tourettes)!
LIFE IS GOOOD!!!!!! ;yes ;D
I'm glad things are looking better for you!
Booked my full drivers licence. Going to do it on 4th of July - America's independence day and hopefully mine too!
Well they were. roll:) Sigh, love life goes up and down as fast as a bullet. My boyfriend was working while I was talking to him and his old ex came through and whispered b***h to me and then kissed my boyfriend. >:( >:( >:( sooooo.... she left with a hurting nose and my boyfriend is still in shock. d**n. ;yes
Good for you! Taking care of business like that! At least my boyfriend's ex doesn't pull that kind of crap, she just tries to plot all of our friends against me, then they just look at her like " :-\ roll:) " lol

I was trying to get to water polo the other day on my bike and i went all around arlinton heights ( not the one in texas) and i drove like 30 miles and when i got there i was late :0 but today i found a short cut and got in on time XD ha2ha .
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!
I take it you disagree with me.
strongly disagree. ;yes you don't know half the story so don't give your opinion. >:(
It wasn't an opinion. But if you're happy it's fine with me.

I just wish I wouldn't be misunderstood! No one has ever gotten what I mean sicne the day I was born! The only person who has is my boyfriend and that is one of the reasons why he is mine.
I understand, you all love the Beatles. Well, I used to. Something happened and I can't say it here but you'd understand why I don't care too much for them anymore if you knew!
I am so lost right now in life I don't understand. 2ch
Their music has gotten me & numerous other people through tough times

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. Life can be a hard place and we're happy to always have The Beatles around to know that happiness is even more than a warm gun. lol Anybody got any random thoughts left? ;D

lol driving problems, they make me laugh if they're not serious.Me too! I just cracked up laughing when I saw the 100km/hr speed sign. ha2ha But actually on sunday I nearly caused an accident... Didnt see a car coming from over the hill..... luckily I stopped on time
Hmmm, not to sound too forward, but I always gain weight during a certain time of the month :P

I tend to hit cars that aren't moving but that's just me... :P
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
xxx
Oh. ha2ha Yeah That happens with garages here. Just a little too close and then the mirror is totally crushed. lol
That was my mom's specialty. I have a wide garage thank goodness but I did something even worse last summer. 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. Needless to say I was not really paying attention when this happened. So remember; a car is a lethal weapon even in your driveway. ;)
I got sun burnt today D: :-[ :-\ :-[
Wow. Just got home from a car ride with my soon-to-be-14-year-old daughter and told her to pick any song she wanted off my MP3 player. She invariably goes for Ke$ha. She picked "Sugar Mountain" by Neil Young!
My head is spinning.
There is hope after all! (This is the girl who once confused Wham! and Jimi Hendrix, what I consider to be an impossible feat....) ha2ha

It was nice watching them sing together, wasn't it? It warms my heart too.
Yeah, I don't know why it's never dawned on me before, their voices compliment each other very well :) Thanks for the video! Sometimes I swear all you do is look stuff up on youtube all day :P
I stumbled across that one just today. I wanted to hear the After The Gold Rush version and the Y&M version was right underneath!

"The Beatles performed one concert at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. It was their only performance in the US state.
The concert was originally to have been racially segregated, but The Beatles refused to perform until they received an assurance from the promoter that the audience would be mixed.

I remember getting a kick and a huge boost of selfconfidence by travelling alone for month in Australia.
I'd love to do something like that and I wouldn't hesitate if I'd get the chance. But I can't afford it, and taking a month off from work is currently not an option.
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.
Hey everyone! Guess where I am? FLORIDA! I have been here since Sunday and every day has been sunny and beautiful! I am loving it.

Have you guys ever seen Quantum Leap???? I just watched an episode on hulu.com And The Beatles were there, well bad look-a-likes. ha2ha
Yeah, I remember that show. Scott Bakula was cute. ;) I'll look for that episode on Hulu with the not-Beatles.Oh and the episode is called BLIND FAITH it's one of the free ones in the 2nd season ahahhaha it's so funny how they look
you should take a pig insteadI've been afraid of pigs since i was little and one chased me and bit my leg and i couldnt walk for a week :'(
I love the show i all ways find my self watching it. And AGAIN i see A BEATLES Poster. AHhahah they must love the BeatlesOh and the episode is called BLIND FAITH it's one of the free ones in the 2nd season ahahhaha it's so funny how they look
I think my toe is broken,cause on the last day of school(in may) a desk fell on my foot cause i jumped off it. not really jumped,i was sitting on it and i kinda hopped off and it grabbed my shirt tail and fell. i didnt think it was broken but now i cant bend my pinky toe or the one next to it. i also dont know why i just now noticed it,like 2 months later.
P.S HAPPY BIRTHDAY SELENA GOMEZ!
You seem to have the worst times. ha2ha I used to be like that but it's getting better as life goes on. Now I just laugh at things...
EDIT: For anyone living or knowing someone in Norway, my thoughts are with you. This makes me deeply sad that nowhere are you completely safe...
How come every time I try to go out with my friends for my birthday it never goes as planned? This time we were supposed to go out tonight, but I called it off because there were tornado warnings earlier tonight and parts of the city were randomly losing power :( I could have still gone out I guess but I figured better to not press our luck tonight... Now seems the epitome of dressed up with nowhere to go! /rant
Hope everyone else is having a better night!
Seems like things are finally heading in the right direction. But since fate has already played enough cruel jokes on me lately I'm not getting my hopes up yet.
john was 26 and sgt pepper was not HIS album. it was more pauls than johns album.
What I thought was going to be a waste of time is turning into the coolest and most exciting week that I've had in quite a while. So maybe I'll get my hopes up a little bit. ;)
What's the big deal about the celebrities that died at 27 years old?
There are like six major rock stars that died at 27.
Maybe seven.
Alright, I have to tell you guys, I'll just post it here ;yes I bought so many amazing records today I might just DIE!
The Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed, Black and Blue, Milestones, Rolled Gold, Tattoo You
Janis Joplin: Pearl
Queen: Queen I, Sheer Heart Attack, Jazz
Jimi Hendrix: Jimi Hendrix with Curtis Knight, Midnight Lightning
The Byrds: Sweetheart of the Rodeo
Leonard Cohen: New Skin For The Old Ceremony
Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin I
Woodstock soundtrack
The Doors: Morrison Hotel, The Doors
Cream: Wheels of Fire
Isn't it fantastic! I'm just gonna play records all day long now ;D
hfdsguoefhgipj Where in the WORLD did you go to get those??? *jealous* I am most jealous of the Queen records, I can never find them!
Do your maths Barry! ha2ha Paul died in late 1966, so he was only 24!
Paul was born on 18 June 1942. Abbey Road was released on 26 September 1969. So he was 27 when the album was released and would be 28 on his next birthday if...
So he was 27 when the album was released and would be 28 on his next birthday if...
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
Paul's wearing shoes. That proves he's alive. ;)
Now you've done it, AppleScruffy96! Every time I hear Penny Lane I think of...

FINALLY, my new tattoo is actually healing! I got it eight days ago and it's been nothing but a huge gross-looking mess ever since... It was pretty bizarre constantly going "I just got a new tattoo!" "Cool, can I see it?" "...no..." :P

That's great Maxine! I homeschooled my kids for seven years and it was the best decision I've ever made. I'll be interested to hear what kinds of things you did and what the homeschooling climate is like in Sweden.
Oops, I meant to say I'll be interested to hear what kinds of things you do, not did. I know you just started!
I think studying is fun, really, but I always hated going to school
I liked going to school and seeing what new trouble I could get into each day.
I even had the handbook...
^^ Jai, that is SO cool! :D I am jealous. I've always wanted to get a tattoo, but I think my family would disown me if I did ha2ha
Moving this weekend to a WICKED new apartment!
Thanks Emmi, and cheers for the Killer Queen! Classic. :D
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

Oh nice xD My mother is pretty cool about stuff like that, like she let me get my cartilage pierced for my 15th birthday, and she's fine with letting me dye my hair, etc. But she HATES tattoos, and idk why. Probably because they're super permanent.
I don't think I'll be on here a lot right now (I will sometimes just to get my mind off things tho), my mom might have breast cancer...I don't know why I'm telling you all this but I am so...yeah. We're moving soon as well so I'll be busy, anyway I'll shut up now.
On a more happy note I went and saw a Beatles coverband with my mom two days ago :) they were good.
Thank you. I'm sure she'll be fine, they caught it pretty early so that's good.
I just ordered Steven Tyler's "Does The Noise In My Head Bother You" book, it should be my birthday present, but with a bit of delay. Anyway, I'm really excited about it.
I'm not having much luck getting them to appreciate Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan yet, though!
That may take some time, especially Dylan. Just choose what you play carefully and they'll come around. ;)
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)

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!

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 :-\ :PI 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.

My random thought of the day was of this place...
Haven't visited this forum in almost 4-6 years i think it's been.
Wonder if i still recognize anyone
Yeah, just found out I've got Macca tickets for my birthday!!! *Jumps around* :P
xxx
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.
Today is not a good day. Today I want to die.
Earlier this year I posted a bunch of lists on a Beach Boys forum. A few weeks later I got a message from a well-known rock writer, asking if he could use those lists for his new Beach Boys book. I thought he just wanted to use a bit of the information, but when I got the book in last week, it turned out that the last chapter is almost entirely a one on one copy of my forum post (which I'm credited for in the book). ;yes

The 'Smile' box set arrived today, I have a date tomorrow, my boss is away for a couple of weeks and I don't really have any worries at the moment (knock on wood). Life can be good.
Yeah, check the Beach Boys topic.
Going to the Cardinals championship parade Sunday afternoon. I'm excited :)
I saw Bob Dylan live on the 3rd :D it was incredible! But for some reason people started to leave before the concert was even finished...strange people, I must say.
People have to realize that he's not 21 anymore and it's going to be different. He's still one of the most influential artists around and they should be glad they got see him before it's too late.

Yes, exactly! I think they were a bit disappointed about how different he sounds and how different the songs sounded too. It was much more bluesy but personally I think it sounded fantastic. Oh well, it's their loss roll:)
Hi Emmi! Where the heck have you and Mrs Lennon been? :-[

Hey! I know Mrs. L is all good :) High school is just super busy and everything. But if you want I'll shoot her an email :)
I want a Christmas cookie but the ones my daughter baked this weekend are gone already. This is what makes the holidays stressful for me; it's impossible to stay ahead of the cookie monsters here.
ha2ha And I thought that the cookie monster only hung out on Sesame Street! ha2ha

This is what makes the holidays stressful for me; it's impossible to stay ahead of the cookie monsters here.Same here :D My twins baked some christmas cookies (almost by themselves!!) last weekend and they were also gone too fast ;D The baby tasted some cookie as well and absolutely loved it.
Just wanted to pop in and say a quick "hi" to everyone.
Nice "meet" you too, Normandie! :)
Nice to "meet" you, Elli. :)
I posted a picture of a 1960s Playboy model as my Facebook profile pic because she looks uncannily like me, and someone offered me an acting job! What should I do? All my years of watching sitcoms should have prepared me for something like this but I'm lost.accept mairi you can pull it off...your are beautiful enough... ;yes

I got lots of baking things (including a cupcake and muffin maker!) this Christmas so today I made some blueberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. They were delicious!

Devo "Whip It" ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbt30UnzRWw#noexternalembed[/url])
Somehow I ended up at this youtube video. No idea how I got there.
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.
Going to Austria for a 7 days ski holiday. :)
Good luck in your studies, Paul. Are you going for the whole spring term?
Last weekend was my best weekend ever.
Tell us about it, Joost.
I had a really cool evening with some old friends who I hadn't seen in years, and an incredible woman who I met a while ago became my girlfriend.

^Its not me you should say it to, its the poles, the kerbs on the road and other hazzards that stand in my way... :P
Drive safely.
So, this is my 500th post on this forum. Shall we open the champagne guys? ha2ha
That's wonderful, Joost. I am really happy for you. Is she a Beach Boys fan? Or not yet? ha2ha
We went to a record store yesterday and she got 'Pet Sounds' and a Beach Boys greatest hits LP (and no, I didn't tell her to do that, she was just curious about my favorite band). :)

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
Wish me luck, I really hope it's as good as it seems! :)
Here it is:

Spanky was a pro by age three...
Next weekend will be the best time of my life because of what it will mean to me. Not even meeting Paul McCartney would top it. Not even close.
That looks quite peaceful and welcoming. Good luck and tell us more about how you're getting used to it. :)
I hope it works out well for you!
Good luck in your new school Maxine.
going to a job interview! Here's hoping for the best
Tell us more, JimmyMcCullochFan. What's the thing that got you so excited? :)
Next weekend I'm going to be visiting Jimmy's brother.
My heart is currently breaking over some man :(
Men are just lousy bastards.
In Canada? :ono, mine's a Kiwi :P
I'm still hoping that things will eventually come around for me.
Men are just lousy bastards.
It's just that it would make life easier if we could tell who was lousy right from the start. ;)
If we only knew it too, it would have been funny ha2ha
Women are lousy bastards too.So all men and women were created equal

I think the only ones we can count on are children and animals.
I'd say only animals and our mothers, but not children.

Spent the weekend with Jimmy McCulloch's family and let's just say it was the best weekend of my life.
That's great! I'm very happy for you.
Talking about happiness, I'm very happy for you all because you're here ha2ha You're lucky!
I think we are very lucky indeed to have this forum. I know most people find my Beatles obsession a bit disturbing but around here it's normal.
hi everyone.
I don't think I've ever been as happy as I've been the last few weeks. ;yesSo glad to hear this, Joost :)
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.

How's your college semester in Great Britain going, Paul?
Pretty well for the most part. I love it here :)
In other news I just booked a trip to Liverpool!
Telling someone they're interesting is sort of a backhanded compliment IMO. At least in my experience.
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.
One of those loaded statements.
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.
Speaking as a gal, I think you should go for it.
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.
Speaking as a gal, I think you should go for it.
Speaking as a gal, I think you should go for it.
That's what I said, speaking as an old codger. ha2ha
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.
I think it means that both of you wanted to do something but were too shy.
Whatever you do, don't lead her on and make her think she stands a chance then suddenly just take it all away.
Oh, I wasn't really talking about you there, was I? Sorry.
Just be your awesome self, be honest, and be up front.
6900 posts, HG! that's a cool number!
Just got two tickets to see Macca next month :)
Taking Karen?
Yes I certainly hope so. She has to see if she has enough money to pay for the ticket since she said there is no way she is letting me pay for her ticket even though I said don't worry about it.
Whats better for someone entering the workforce? Get a full time job in their study area OR a number of temporary/contract jobs to get the experience ?
Just came back from Liverpool and it was absolutely incredible :)

Wow! Seeing that through your eyes is great Paul. You know, a fan not unlike myself. Very exciting!
I'm entering my University's study abroad international photo contest and am entering this one as I feel it's my strongest picture.
"The Waters of Tyne" taken in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
([url]http://i42.tinypic.com/51uo5.jpg[/url])
Paul, how about "Lost In Tyne?"
That's brilliant! I already mailed the photos but I can change the title of them once my University receives them so that's what I shall be doing for the Newcastle picture. Thanks :)

Here's a video I put together of my trip in case anybody is interested :)
The tour guide is Neil Brannan who played Pete Shotton in the NBC movie In His Life: The John Lennon Story which was the first movie I ever watched on the Beatles. When it aired I'd just gotten into them a couple of weeks prior and remember staying up late watching/recording it!
I'm sad. My daughter just left on her first school trip, a SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) conference. I hope they take good care of my little bunny! :'(
I'm sure they will. But I know...worrying is what moms do best.

Awwww! She will be fine! Funny though, in here SADD stands for Student Against Drunk Driving
Seeing Paul next Thursday at the Royal Albert Hall and then 4 days later I'm seeing James in concert. Father and son within the span of 4 days. Nice!Damn you! :P Enjoy it!
I've made a promise to myself that if I don't get to see Titanic in 3D I will...I will...well, I don't know what, but it won't be pretty! I hope my friend Roselyn can come to visit so we can see it. If not I'll just force my sister to see it with me roll:)
I want to see it too :)
Oh, my mom bought two tickets to see Macbeth today as well. My very first Shakespeare play, I'm so excited!!
I'm going to kill myself.
Damn the inability to get a job!!!!!! So damn frustrating!!!!!! GRRRRR!!!!!!
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows I'm miserable now
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:)
She didn't get to go sadly. She had to work late.
Now I have a huge bruise on my left arm roll:)
Chocolate milk and tuna sandwiches. Mmmm...
:D
She lost out, on two points.
Ouch! Glad you're alright though except for that huge bruise.
Chocolate milk and tuna sandwiches. Mmmm...
:D

Seeing James McCartney tonight and today in class we were talking about the future and my professor asked us how long we wanted to live. When he looked at me, I said “To quote the Who, I hope I die before I get old!”Haha Nice one!
I am spending my last weekend in England (weekend of April 20th) with Jimmy's family and I can't think of a better way to spend my last weekend than with them. Can't wait :)
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.
I'll bet.
So what did this guy say when he realized his mistake?
Oh. I'm in the wrong room.
Great news!! I have two tickets to go see Titanic 3D tomorrow! I'm going with my mom and hopefully my sister ;yes
You'll love it! I went last night and it was mind blowing :)
I'm taking my daughters at some point; like Gone With the Wind, Cameron's Titanic should definitely be seen on the big screen.
Indeed! It really was mind blowing, the 3D effects were amazing! I was pretty sad when it was over...and I did cry. Although I think I controlled myself better than one girl behind me who had to go out because she was sobbing so much.
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!
If I'm giong to hear the word "experience" one more time... I will explode!
We are moving to the UK this summer .... YES!
I wonder why do you happy about it?
Well. You won't hear it from me.
KE, I've never understood how young people are supposed to get you-know-what (I don't want you to explode) if they aren't given a chance. 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. Anyway, I hope you find something soon; I know how frustarting it was for my daughter when she was job hunting.Ahaha! so kind! And you Klang ... The beatles and you guys keep me sane!!!!
I am happy about it because our daughter will finally receive better treatments in the UK than where we are now.

I think they both look great, AppleScruffy! :D
if you could take a place of one of the beatles who would it be?
i would pick ringo cause my nose is kinda big and all those big nose jokes would still work.
Can yall help me find a pic? its george he is sitting on the ground its dark he has a keyboard drawn with chalk on the ground. and something that says my wife and two children. and there is also to cars behind him. i had it saved on my computer but it poof* went away.
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.Dont go there.... or am I overcautious?
Woohoo! Just don't 'discover' and drive.Never! I'm a good girl! ;)
:P
Never! I'm a good girl! ;)

PUTTING TOGETHER MY MUSIC CORNER SLOWLY
Paul McCartney is coming to Denmark in June and I'm DYING to go. DYING. Let's hope the tickets are not yet sold out. :(
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 :(
I just wish I could do more but I know there is nothing I can do
Guess who has two tickets to see Paul McCartney live in Denmark?? ;D
I give up. Please tell me.
Guess who has two tickets to see Paul McCartney live in Denmark?? ;D
Oh wow! That's exciting, to say the least. When is the concert Maxine? I want a full report, like you gave us when you saw Ringo. :)

Does prinsesstårta come in all chocolate? ;D
And no, unfortunately it doesn't come in all chocolate, HG. ha2ha
^^^ YUMMMM!
They're great, KE! Do you have anything like that in New Zealand?Im not entirely sure what they are.... Looks like chocolate brownies?

They're chocolate devil's food cake with chocolate fudge filling and icing.

I get a trivia question e-mailed to me every day from sploofus.com. I never, ever get the geography ones right but I got this one: What river is adjacent to Liverpool? ;DAwesome!!!!!!
Had two of my wisdom teeth out yesterday... The anaesthetic is gone and now its painful....! Boohoohoo! :'
I hope you're feeling better soon. I still have mine but both my kids had theirs out when they were relatively young so I've witnessed it. Just remember; no drinking straws.Yea and no watching whose line is it anyway... too sore to laugh!!!!

My 10-year-old son (my "little bear") left today for a 4-day, 3-night Boy Scout camp, 5 hours away. It's the longest time any of the kids has been away from the house, and he's the youngest! I know he's going to have a great time, but I am going into withdrawal. :-\
I understand completely. It's still hard even when they are adults. I've had my 22 year old home for the last year and a half and it's going to be tough when she leaves for grad school in August.
I love that show, both the British and American versions. Are you feeling better now?Yes I am! I can eat and above all I can smile :)

The flat is so quiet and lonely :(
Yes I am! I can eat and above all I can smile :)
Ah, so it doesn't get easier with time.
Hang in there Normandie, you have us for company :)
I forgot to say, Kelley, that I hope your daughter enjoys grad school! I wish her the best. ;yes
My dog Björn whom I've had since I was 5 years old is really sick, and we might have to put him down. How do you cope with something like this? It's somewhat comforting to know that it's for his best and he wouldn't be in any pain, but it still hurts...

11 people online and nobody's got a thing to say. Including me.
:P
Well, by some miracle my dog is actually on the mends! He's still sick, but it's amazing how he could get healthy as he was in very bad shape. Thank you all for the concern, it means a lot to know that you have some support if something like this happens. :)Great news Scruffy!!!!! Yea, we are a great bunch at DMs!!!!!! Woot Woot!
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.
Court on Monday...What for?
sick of being called fat when I'm just trying to recover
sick of being called fat when I'm just trying to recoverDon't worry about what people say. Find your strength in what you know! Your lovely!
I hate to admit it, but I'm soooo glad school has started. Now I can try to catch up on the mountain of work sitting on my desk (and all over the floor). This summer was HELL.
Life is very interesting thing! For example, sometimes you feel so sad, that you don't know what to live for, and sometimes you feel so happy, that you love everyone, all people. Where's a constancy ???
Been sick with the flu for the past couple of days, dont have much of a voice and I have a job interview tomorrow! Will be interesting!
I had this deep nazal voice all throughout the interview... hopefully it wont affect my impression on them
Week one of my new job is about to end. I love it already but the only problem is that the library cat absolutely hates me. I even tried buying her off with a treat. 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 think I'll just ignore her and hope she doesn't start springing out at me from dark corners. LOL
She sounds like my teenage daughters ha2ha
I've been meaning to ask you about your new job, Kelley; glad to hear you like it!
If she rolls her eyes at me I'm in trouble!
Ha, I'd forgotten about the eye-rolling. I was a classic eye-roller as a teen. Now that I'm a mom it's not too much fun being on the receiving end. (On the other hand, I finally get to used the much-hated "Because I said so!") ;DI used to love that phrase. "Because I said so" Oh, brings back memories!

But we can never, ever let our kids know what snots we were as teenagers. That will take away all credibility from one of my favorite statements, "ISome things are for us parents only! Lol!
never talked to my mother like that!" ;D

My parents would say "Period!" When I got to kindergarten and learned punctuation, my teacher said "Period...drop your voice." So the next time my parents emphasized their point with "Peroid," I pointed at them and said "Drop your voice." They still remember and laugh about that today.

I think it was his oddly humerous way of saying "Do it!" whidh I heard often!
No, the old one didn't move. This one does. It's far out!
I felt like having lobster for dinner!
Chips and egg rolls look pretty good actually.Whatever that is, it looks like it might have eaten you at one time!

That's not fair. I'm looking at a bag of chips and some egg rolls for the Florida State-Clemson game.It's all good!

There is nothing in the world that I hate more than maths.\

I'm with you there. Tried to help my daughter with algebra the other night and my eyes glazed over. I felt that familiar sense of panic that always sets in when I see a sheet full of numbers and symbols. UGH.
Math is a four-letter word!" There are only three types of people in this world! Those that are good at math and those that aren't!"

I honestly do not get why there is such a fascination with where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. Am I missing something?He's probably part of a bridge abuttment in New Nersey somewhere!
Walrus Gumboot is the name of my fantasy football team.
I hope your fantasy team does better than my reality team did last week. Good grief!
Well my college team (Florida State) lost, my pro team (Eagles) lost, and my fantasy team is getting smoked! Good grief is right! :'(I'm really impressed the last couple of games with the NE Patriots "rookie" team. It looks like they want to win again!
This week has been cold and dreary followed by sunny and cold so... I started up the woodstove. I think I actually love that woodstove!

Arrrgh; Dcazz, stop! Fall foliage, woodstoves.....I am getting increasingly disenchanted with my current locale. I LOVE woodstoves.I'm sorry Normandie ( sort of) ! Just think of all the money your making working in the oil fields!
Just joking, of course. I hope you and your wife are having a very pleasant autumn! :)
I'm sorry Normandie ( sort of) ! Just think of all the money your making working in the oil fields!
UGH don't even mention those! ;) The oilfields are the bane of everyone in this state; they are strongly hated by pretty much everyone I know. The overflow has ruined the western part of the state and is spilling east, quickly.I'm sorry to hear that! The media makes it sound so great! I'll post some pics soon. If it makes you feel any better the colors have been pretty dull this year. The wind and rain knocked a lot of them down before they completly turned. I haven't even bothered with a photo yet! Maybe the end will be better than the begining!
Ah, well, I'll soothe myself of mental images of bright fall foliage and woodstoves -- and maybe I'll be able to get back East soon!

Arrrgh; Dcazz, stop! Fall foliage, woodstoves.....I am getting increasingly disenchanted with my current locale. I LOVE woodstoves.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.
Just curious, I read the post of oil fields, fall foilage....ect. I makes me wonder where everyone here is at/from. I am in Southwestern Ohio. We have had some beautiful foilage this year. But a bit warmer than it should be.
North Central New JerseyNice fall of the year generally up your way, but the question that begs answering....... The Jersey Devil, real or not?.....lol
Foliage-challenged North Texas.Kool....I want to make it that way sometime. Plains states still have some wonderous sites to see.
Those photos look great, Dcazz; thanks for sharing :)You there permanently or temporary? Very cold up there, but I did get to spend some time in Red Wing Minnesota. Beautiful there but also cold.......brrrrrrrr!!!!!!
I'm in central/west North Dakota now. Originally from Central New York. The topography and foliage are fairly similar, which makes for a combination of comfort and homesickness at the same time.

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.Thats cold!
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.)

I was surveying the lawn and making sure everything is down for this impending storm about to hit us here in the northeast and I noticed ONE black walnut that is still hanging on!It fell!
Anyone want to bet it makes it till wednsday!?
It fell!
That didn't take long! You know, I just had the Weather Channel on for 30 minutes and didn't see one bit of local weather. Anyway, stay safe!Thanks Kelly. We're safe but the coast is taking a beating. Worst case up here is downed power lines.
I hope you and your families stayed safe during the storm, Kelley and Dcazz (and any other forum member who was in its path).
Its all over the news here in Oz and looks terrible, I really hope all on here are safe
Brisbane is still getting over the floods of 2 years ago, some still are practically homeless as some insurance Co's refused paymentThat'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 think Hello Goodbye's from New Jersey. Has anyone heard from him?
I haven't seen a post from him since yesterday...maybe nothing more than his internet is down, I hope.

Now there are 104......They are invited to join! C'mon, do it!
They are invited to join! C'mon, do it!
Yeah don't lurk! I only lurked for a day! This is the place to be! party2
I'm glad you joined and that you like it here George!
Thanks, Kelley. One of the main things that prompted me to join (besides the knowledgeable and passionate Beatles fans here) was the respect people show each other here. Sadly, that's not the case on other Beatles sites I've checked out.
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!
Still no sign of Barry. I hope he's alright.No, I haven't seen a post since the storm. I hope so too.
Still no sign of Barry. I hope he's alright.
Hope so Cor...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.

Roger Waters is coming to Romania with his Wall tour. Truly a dream coming true, I can't wait for the next summer! :)
how come he hasnt made an album since the 90's, as a fan of his have you any idea Ovi ?
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.
Just received my final divorce documents from my attorney saying that these are "proof to the world" that I am divorced.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.
I'm feeling suicidal right now. :'(

I apologize to the forum for my comment.
Thanks, DCazz and Kelley, I shouldn't have posted such a controversial comment. It's just been a really tough 18 months, and I'm really feeling emotionally worn down.
I apologize to the forum for my comment.

Feeling a bit better today, huh Kathy?
Attorneys aren't known for tact and sensitivity, Kathy.
Anybody else just hate their job so bad that they hope they get fired?
Sometimes, but I need the medical benefits.
Lol. Same here. My wife makes three times as much as I do with our personal business, but my job provides the health benefits. If I could find another job that provided benefits, i'd take a pay cut to leave. A major pay cut.
And the sad part is, the medical benefits aren't nearly as good as they were 10 years ago.
I can do early retirement next May with full benefits. I am seriously considering it. I have some surgery coming up soon, and once that happens, I just might retire next year and get some kind of part time job maybe bagging groceries.
I'd jump on that deal if I could. Hope the surgery isnt anything major.

I second that, ibanez_ax. And not sure if you were joking about bagging groceries, but I've worked in grocery stores, and they can actually be pretty fun. The customers in general are more pleasan that at, say, restaurants (at least in my experience).
Bummer about your back. I have back issues too from a past motocross injury and I know it hurts. Hope everything turns out ok for you.
I hope the surgery goes well, ibanez_ax.

yeah me too ibanez.....I know the feeling as I have surgery coming up in January......kinda dreading it :(
It's not easy facing surgery. I'm sure all will go well Gearge and Kevin.

Oh gosh George and Kevin; I just saw the surgery posts. I hope you'll both be feeling better than ever soon.
Surgery is tomorrow (Monday). Wish me luck!

I love it! I know what you mean; I once stomped on a string of Christmas lights that wouldn't work. It was outside on the porch so it was easy to clean up the mess and I felt so much better.
I angrily smacked my ice scraper against my car's side-view mirror once after an ice storm; the darn thing shattered, of course, so I had to get it repaired. ;)

It would have been cheaper to buy a new ice scraper, Kathy. They're inexpensive.
Mostly I was angry at myself for doing something so stupid and impulsive roll:)Did you break the scraper or the mirror?

Still in the hospital can't walk yet will have to go to rehab but surgery was successfulThats good news for sure. Just do everything they say and rehab will be successful. When I broke mine I couldn't even lift a frying pan. I had to slide it across the counter just to cook. I did everything they said and almost 23 years later I'm still doing good.
I'm glad to hear the surgery was a success! I hope rehab goes smoothly. :)

Everyone is telling me 7-10 days and I'll be good to go.
Wait! I just realized! Tomorrow is December 21, 2012 and the world is supposed to come to an end!

Heal up quick George.
Too smart for you, isn't it!
I can't figure out my darn smartphone. I'll have to wait 'til my kids get back from SD so they can show me. ha2ha
Yeah, quick recovery for all the wounded. And for you too, Kevin. ha2ha
Too smart for you, isn't it!
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." ha2haLol! He's probably thinking, how do you update that! It speaks for itself!
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.
Lol! He's probably thinking, how do you update that! It speaks for itself!I don't even own one!
I got one only because, with the divorce, I had to get my own plan, and it came with a "free" upgraded phone. I was much happier with my old, outdated phone! ;DJust the house phone for me. I always answer my messages!

I finally figured out how to turn off the auto-correct options, thanks to youtube.
I know that right now, Kathy is lost in a dimension of sound...a dimension of sight...a dimension of mind. She's moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.
Still in the hospital can't walk yet will have to go to rehab but surgery was successful
I'm glad to hear that the surgery went well and hope you're feeling much better by now.

Still in rehab my legs were very weak after surgery because I was in a lot of pain before surgery and using a cane and not walking a whole lot I walked yesterday on the parallel bars little bit and I walked about 16 feet today with a walker facility I am in has no wifi so I'm going crazy bored out of my mind my Kindle Fire HD is collecting dust so I started using my phone for stuff and that eats up the Data
What kind of issues are you having Kathy? Maybe I can help; that's the kind of thing I do at work, or so everyone seems to think! The thing I detest about most technology products is that they include so little documentation. Everything is online and supposedly intuitive but for what this stuff costs they ought to come with complete instructions, even if that would fill a book.
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.

Had a job interview today on my birthday and -- get this -- got an invitation for another interview this morning for early Feb! How's that for birthday luck? Woot woot!
I've started listening to hypnotherapy audio.
Thanks Kelley. I had to get back on here I missed it. "Going dark" was getting old.Hi george,
Hi george,
I hope all is well. Sounds like your on the mend. Prayers are with your recovery!
Dave
Thanks Dave still at therapy making slow progress but feeling stronger everydayThats good! We'll look forward to a full recovery for you!
We had some visitors this morning! Our herd of deer came to the chicken coop for a look see. We put fresh hay on the frozen ground /snow in the pen so they can scratch but the deer must have seen it and came to investigate. Chickens were not amuzed, squawking their alerts and then running up into the coop! Everyones hungry by mid winter.Cute!!!!!!
Cute!!!!!!It doesn't work!
Why do men just use women? I want to be Spock for a while.... have no emotions, dont care or think too much Grrrrrr!

YAY just stumbled across Gone With the Wind on TCM, just beginning. I already have the DVD, but this is a nice surprise indeed. :)
Now if I could just see it on the big screen again! It's best with an audience.
I was lucky to see it on the big screen at The Loew's Paradise in The Bronx, the way it was meant to be seen. It jes' ain't fittin' to watch it on TV.
That's one great movie! Scarlett and Rhett cross-purposed for four hours. The only ones with any sense were Mammy, Melanie and Belle Watling. ;D
Enjoy the show, Kathy.

There's medication for her kind of behavior today. ;)
I love the way Mammy can read Scarlett like a book. ("I ain't noticed Mr. Ashley askin' for to marry you!" priceless!) ;D
It really is a great movie, Kathy. I hope you're watching the DVD.
I'll be watching it later today as I work my way through mountains of laundry. ;)Sounds so domestic! (I did mine yesterday) :)
Yesterday would have been Mr Kite's (a member of DM) birthday. Happy Birthday Kitie, wherever you are :)

I have an English exam tomorrow (only the Speaking part - but also the one I have most problems with) which I really need to pass in order to be able to study in England, as I wish. I've already applied to 4 Universities and got admitted to all of them. Now all I need to do is concentrate on the two exams ahead of me: CAE and the after-12-classes one (which includes 3 subjects). Can't wait to get this over with.I'm sure you'll do fine. My daughter goes through this all the time and has a 4.0 average. I always tell her to relax and just do it! Good testing to you! (luck has nothing to do with it).
That's great news Joost. Congratulations!
I'm graduating high school tomorrow! - gonna post some pics if I end up looking at least half-decent in any of them. :)
Where are you Kelley? Hope all is well!

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? ;)Oh yes! Most definately all colours! :D :D :D
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.I guess.... it's just that I am so frustrated at looking at places... Grrrr! I am impatient.
Grrrr! I am impatient.

Took me 3hr to code one table!
What?? Your table went into cardiac arrest?That's funny... but I dont get it? :-[ :-\
Got a job interview on Friday!!!! Woot Woot! 8.30am! Why do they make it so early? cheer1
That's funny... but I dont get it? :-[ :-\
Thanks, KE. You're pretty special too. I'm sure you'll impress them at your interview.Thanks, Barry! Or Bazz :P
I'll be rooting for you during your interview this Thursday evening. Where I am it's on the night before. ;)
Love the new avatar Dcazz :)Thanks, Barry! Or Bazz :PThanks Kalei, Its a picture of Mt. Monadnock in jaffrey, NH at sunset from my back yard.
Thanks, Barry! Or Bazz :P
So how did it go? It's still Thursday here but late today when it becomes tomorrow, it will have been Friday there for quite a while.Went alright but I feel like I was too informal and perhaps didnt "sell" myself highly.... We shall see! Fingers crossed :)

Aw Lana, that is tough...I know. What I hope for you is that someone will come along and leave you no doubt in your mind. It may be one of these two or it may be someone all together new. Whatever happens I wish you all the best. Love can be the most wonderful ting in the world or incredibly difficult, that's for sure!
HG - you always have the best music! :D
I think leaving both of them is the wisest thing to do but I find it really hard
Joost - Who loves me back more? The one who absoloutely adores me wants me to convert; the other one has a history of womanising and fear of commitment.....
My advice (and believe me I can tell): leave them both.
Joost - Who loves me back more? The one who absoloutely adores me wants me to convert; the other one has a history of womanising and fear of commitment.....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.
I swear my teenagers will drive me to drink ...... :-\
they do get nicer ;)
It gets even better when they're in their 30's and have kids of their own and publicly tell family and freinds that they understand how hard you worked for them and that your the inspiration for how they raise their own! It all comes around!
teenagers is, as teenagers does! I used to love to embaress them by yelling "I love you" when I dropped them with their friends! Theres all kinds of ways to add a little humble to their silly little lives!
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.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:)
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.

Hmmmm....was just browsing the "Magpie" thread, and I think that "Groundhog" song might just be the one. ha2ha

Oh, OK -- maybe I didn't listen far enough. Back to the thread!
....
Hm, not to my exact "taste," ha ha, but I actually do like the song. (And, of course, if I like it, that's pretty much a guarantee my kids won't ;) )
...an' some gizzards. Mmmmm...Mmmmm. Goo...ood! An' frog bellies, cornbread and possum jelly.
Mighty fine!!!

Yer makin' me sick!

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.
Yer makin' me sick!
Me, too! :-X
Daisy Mae, Betty Jo, Bobbie Jo, Billie Jo, an' Ellie Mae sure didn't turn out so bad eatin' them vittles...

Granny would have put some meat on them girls. Like she did on Ellie Mae...

Granny may have cooked up some potent vittles but Kellogg's helped too:

Jethro could eat a whole crate at one sittin'! And that's after eatin' several helpings of deviled owl eggs, smoked deer meat, grits, and cornbread with possum jelly!
Did you eat Post Toasties when you lived in Mayberry? ;)
They disappeared in the early 70s...along with The Beatles.

Was I really just saying a few weeks ago that my kids were making me crazy? Can I take that back? 'Cause my 11-year-old (the baby) just left for week-long Boy Scout camp, and my oldest just had her first 90-minute driver's ed class. Time goes too fast! ???

Yep. They look like some bad mammy-jammers. I wouldn't waste a chicken on one.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 am definitely getting old...........my 16-year-old wanted a "Hipsta Please" sweatshirt for last Christmas, which I got for her, and now a "Hipsta Please" hat for her birthday in a few days, which I also got for her.

I wish I knew more about photography so I could capture the beautiful, huge full moon tonight. All I got was a bright blur! Maybe I'll figure it out before the Harvest Moon. It makes me think of my great, great, great grandmother who I am researching. Her name was Thankful Moon. She may have been the very first hippie with that name!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.

I wanted to show you this picture that my friend took. She says that she uses the manual setting on her digital camera. I tried that the other night but I don't know what the heck I'm doing! Anyway...That's a great picture. I tried it the night before your post with my little Cannon and just got a yellow blob as well. I'm going to have to read the instructions!

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.
When all else fails read the instructions right? LOL My camera takes great pictures but the way the buttons are situated I'm always bumping them and making the camera behave in unexpected ways that I can't fix. roll:)I do the same thing. When I have a good photo lined up, sometimes I hit the off button and miss it!!!

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.
Thanks Dave! I'll keep that in mind. As for these cameras, I think they do so much that there isn't room enough for all the buttons and our fingers!My primitive brain too! I still prefer knobs!
I do the same thing. When I have a good photo lined up, sometimes I hit the off button and miss it!!!
I'm SO glad to hear I'm not the only person who's done that! :laugh:Lol! I do it often! Usually wildlife shots around here and they don't wait for a second try!
our washing machine bit the dust last month, 2 months out of warranty, it needs a new pc board (cost is $450 !!!!) so may as well buy a new machine with new warranty :(
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 can imagine, Kelley! ha2ha
Of course, about 30 seconds after my grouchy post, the delivery people showed up with the new dryer. Murphy's Law strikes again. ;D
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!If you put on your Pippy Longstocking wig and sung Disney tunes it would have been perfect! Hi Ho, Hi, Ho....

Good grief Dave, that's quite a visual you put forth there! I couldn't have done anything like that; she would have run away and never returned! I'm glad your yard sale went well. I don't do those any more since we have one at the library. That's enough for me to deal with! I'll bet some of your customers just wanted to get a look at that gorgeous house!I only let one guy in! he spent $200.00 and was a real history buff!
You're making me nervous. My washer and dryer are twelve years old. :-[
Wow, that is a gorgeous-looking house, Dave! Your whole property (well, what can be seen in the photos) looks awesome. I would have been pestering you and your wife to let me inside -- and probably spent $200 if need be. ;) I love older houses and buildings.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!
Great photos! The house looks so cozy -- and solid. Love the wood-burning stove and the hardwood floors!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).
The FedEx guy just delivered my new work laptop. This will be my first experience with Windows 8. Heaven help me!I like 7 better.
I like 7 better.
I swore up and down that I would never touch 8 but my co-worker's computer is dying and we decided that she should get my 7 machine so here I am! I do need to learn it because I'm the person who helps our library patrons with computer issues but I will keep my home 7 machine forever....even if I have to replace all the parts!
let me know how it goes Kelley, my lappy is due for update soon and I'll be getting 8 :P

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.
That is so fascinating! Yes, I had noticed the musket and had wondered how old it was.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.
I've been following your and Kelley's (and others') posts in the Genealogy thread with a lot of interest.
UGH my kids' new computer has 8, and it took me literally about 15 minutes to figure out how to turn the darn thing off! Of course, the kids had it all figured out in no time. ha2haThat happened to me too! ha2ha! I was literally yelling at the thing trying to shut it off!

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.

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.
Cleaned the fridge today! Took out all racks, shelves drawers etc... Turned it off for a few hours washed everything inside and out! Love it, nice and shiny clean!
That is a nice feeling. I'll need to do that soon, and vacuum the coils. We found out the hard way one Christmas Eve that too much dog hair on them can seriously impair the fridge's ability to cool. roll:)True, That was done not too long ago. The oven is on clean mode now! It needs it bad. It's a good weekend to get the domestic stuff done as not much else is going on.
Guys! Guys! Guys! I have applied for a job, been through an interview and now I have been told they are doing a reference check... That's always a good sign!
Pray for me!!!!

Oh, such a big weight off my chest!

A $383 auto repair bill, UGH. Just paid $500+ a few months ago to replace the front driver's side airbag, and then the darn clothes dryer died.
Just think of all the Beatles stuff I could have bought with that money! ;)

I think all auto repairs and major appliances should be free. ha2ha

Right. It would be like being back in college again. :)
I love what my 1st cousin 4 times removed said in her 1890's newspaper column: "Congress adjourned last Tuesday and the whole world breathes easier." ;D

Oh, boy! I volunteer, along with other parents, serving lunch one day a week at my son's school.
You are a brave woman! I'd say you deserve a Papal blessing for that.
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.
Long weekend for us here in NZ!!!!!
Woot Woot!

Hehe! It is Labour Weekend for us :)Oh! I We have Labor Day over here!
"Is it Friday?"
"It damn well better be!"
Hehe! It is Labour Weekend for us :)
How about those Boston Red Sox!
Congratulations! I'm sure there's a lot of celebrating going on in your neck of the woods.Yes but most of us old farts are trying to stay awake at work! ;D

I did but... I was up, ready and out so early I had to go to breakfast and do my groc. shop before church! I'm a little thown off! :)
You morning people astound me! I need to be more like you. My state of mind during the winter would be better if I got more daylight into my brain.At the diner this am, a couple sat on the next stools to me and we struck up a conversation about music. he had just seen Greg Allman in Keene. Had a nice time with them

Then I got hit by a vicious stomach bug and spent the next 5 hours curled up in bed.
I enjoyed my extra hour, too, and because I have a lot of work to do (I'm behind, as usual), I was up at 8:00 with coffee in hand, at the computer. Then I got hit by a vicious stomach bug and spent the next 5 hours curled up in bed. Had to miss church. :-XThat's too bad. I hope your feeling better.

OK, am I reading this wrong, or is the following excerpt from the article about the "It's a Wonderful Life" sequel sound either incorrect or terribly insulting?
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.
Sounds like a real pick-me-up ha2ha

LOL And then he jumps off the bridge anyway? That would certainly make it qualify as a surprising sequel! These sequels are rarely a good idea anyway.
I looked outside the window and it was a topless man.
Stop worrying, KE. At least he wasn't in your room...Can anyone read the sign at the end of the bed? It could be significant!

I think it did! Smile ;DOh!!!!!!! I'm gonna hide my face for a while.... I am extremely gullible - should start my own gullibility stories (quite funny)
Funny, HG!!!!!! That sign never says "Paul is dead" ! Looks more like pictures or random characters
It does too! You just think you see something else.It's the brain drain, you know!
It’s all in the mind, you know.
I just saw two Bald Eagles flying circles over the house! By the time I went to get camera they were gone! Amazing!
Magnificent bird!They were close enough that I could see the white feathers change as their heads moved back and forth looking around! Hopefully not at my chickens!!! Their wings and tail feathers were fully extended for max lift as they just circled effortlessly! Wings like my back door! just beautiful!!!

They prefer fish, but if there aren't any rivers or lakes near you, Dave, they were probably looking at your chickens.
Our national bird...
([url]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2444/3612486856_ce6425a041_b.jpg[/url])I was discussing them with a coworker and he said around this time a lot of young eagles are driven out of the parents areas to find their own. They have been seen congregating over Keene, NH this week. I need to research this a bit as I've only seen a few in my lifetime. My interest has been peaked today!

I hope their school has a fire drill!
Yeah, sure! Then you'd worry about her being out in the cold without a zillion layers, a full-head cover, and hand and foot warmers. ;D
ha2ha You know me too well!
OK . . . so I spent my student-loan-payment money to get my kids winter coats, and my two daughters walked out into the 16-degree (F) temps today wearing only sweatshirts. :(
I hope their school has a fire drill!
It's all good! When we got a big storm we used to run around the house barefoot with our pants rolled up to our knees! The last one in won, sort of! Kids are immune.
...you dont feel the cold when your young it seems
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.Sure did but it was a lot of fun out there being stupid kids!
that just brought back a memory !!
my Mum being horrified at me and my brother throwing snowballs at each other wearing only tee shirts, I dont know, you dont feel the cold when your young it seems
Right. BMR in kids is much higher.
OK, I had to Google that, Barry -- basal metabolic rate, correct? Had a painful reminder of slowing metabolism when I was weighed at my doctor's appointment yesterday. Oh, for the days when I could just shovel in food and never gain an ounce! ;)So you had an encounter with the dreaded Dr.s scale!
So many people (women) complained at the one at our Dr.s they had to replace it with a new electronic one. It still came out the same!
Sure did but it was a lot of fun out there being stupid kids!
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!
Trying to get off every ounce! My mom went to TOPS every week for years> Not that she was really over weight but they all went to friendly's for a burger and ice cream after!
I had a lot of stupid fun when I was a kid too. I never ran through the snow barefoot but when my cousin and I got together we were a force to be reckoned with!
So you had an encounter with the dreaded Dr.s scale!
UGH, yes. Not a good idea (or maybe it IS a good idea) a couple of days before Thanksgiving!... or after!

So much hassle in moving furniture .
That's for sure! I haven't moved in 27 years but my kids are a different story.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.

After their initial shock they both agreed it was a good idea! I thought so too.
I bet you have a Sawzall too!That's the one ! What did I say Hole saw! It was late. There was a metal framed recliner couch that was to go from the 3rd floor down a steep old Yankee staircase. I cut the frame in hlf and the couch went down easy@
Lots of things going on in my life right now: have begun college, made new friends, started going out with a girl, started reading more and right now I look forward to starting my first job. :)

KE, I hope your move goes (or went, by the time you read this, I guess) as smoothly as possible. :)It went well, thanks Normandie :) felt sorry for the guys who helped me move the stuff... I have about 30 steps to my new place and it was pouring with sideways rain and was windy too....! Oops.
On a related note.... Will lots of walking get rid of my tummy or doing sit ups is the only way?
Back to work this morning after 11 days off. I love my job but I am not a morning person!Sounds like a nice break! It's hard to get back to it after that long!
Sounds like a nice break! It's hard to get back to it after that long!My last day is on 24th and coming back on the 3rd of Jan....! (Yep, I work for the govt...!)

I like the Christmas Holidays for vacation because with all the scheduled days off I can add in my vacation days and get 16 (this year) consecutive days off for the use of 6 vacation days! That leaves me some for the spring as well.
Was woken up last night after 12:30 am to shoving, screaming and general panic!!!
That must have been really scary, Kelley! I'm glad your uncle was found, safe.
Was woken up last night after 12:30 am to shoving, screaming and general panic!!!
The warmer weather must have woken up a bat and it was flying around the bedroom. My wife (from completely under the covers) shouting "Get it! Get it! "I will! I will!
The little guy conveniently landed on top of the window trim so I got him in a towel and let him go outside.
When I got back into bed my wife Nancy asked me if I thought he would be OK! I replied he was probably more scared from you screaming and will gladly take his chances outside!
Back to sleep!
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. :'(
That was no ordinary bat, Dave...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!

I would have reacted much the same way as Nancy did!
Me, too! I am terrified of bats. I can only imagine how hysterical I would be if one ever got into the apartment.I'll save you!
Yes. Right now, it would be best to hide the keys to the van.Your mechanic could put in a kill switch for fuel or ignition so it would just be one added thing to start the vehicle when you want to go somewhere. P.S. don't tell him about it!
No one knew where he was until the state police found him broken down along a busy Interstate at 2:00 am.

I meant to add, Kelley, that thank God this freezing cold weather had not made it to the East yet.
Me, too! I am terrified of bats. I can only imagine how hysterical I would be if one ever got into the apartment.
I've never seen a real batNo?! 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!
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!
the aerial mosquito sprayingSpeaking of aerial mosquitos, the season of sand/grass flies is upon us in NZ. I got bitten three times on one night

Thanks again for remembering me. Love you all!!!! partypeopleASPIE!!!!!!!!! So good to see you again! And a very happy birthday to you!!!
I wish I could just wiggle my nose or blink and all the things on my to-do list would be finished. I can't help thinking that this isn't really the way Christmas is supposed to be.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!
... add to that being an unwed mother as her pregnancy happened during her betrothal period before the wedding and being shunned! Stressmust have been everywhere for them.
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!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!
The best Christmas's I've ever had I got all my shopping done by September! That way I could concentrate on the fun stuff!

And I want to make everything nice for the kids, who are still hurting.
Hmmm I don't understand how people that tell you that are important and special for them, can take you for granted (or at least make you feel like you have been taken for granted). I just don't understand how normal humans can use other humans? Am I wrong to think that all humans are good natured?I think so!
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.
Thanks, Kelley; your kind words meant a lot on what was a particularly difficult day.
I'm so sorry to hear that you lost a sister some years ago. It's always awful to lose a family member, but during the holidays is particularly hard.

I will! it takes a whole day for her to get over it! However... It ended well!

The funny thing is, is that she loves the groomers. This dog is a big "girley girl and loves to be clean and shiny! She just makes me pay for leaving her for a few hours!
She's cute, Dave.
Here's the perfect dog for her...
The Little Rascals - The Pooch ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFj-Wc6T_lE#ws[/url])That's cute. Spanky was so little!

Stymie: Please don't take my dog, mister.
Dog Catcher: Well, where's his license?
Stymie: He ain't got no license. He just got fleas.
That's cute. Spanky was so little!
That was Purple Ribbon Peter (UKC American Pit Bull Terrier), owned and trained by Lt. Harry Lucenay. He was in the Our Gang comedies from 1930 until 1932. There were other Peteys before and after him, but Purple Ribbon Peter was special...He's a fine actor. They ought to put a animal walk of fame in Hollywood!

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!
Next year is the 75th anniversary of the film, so I have my fingers crossed that the local theater will run it.
I haven't seen a movie in a theater since "Marley and Me" but would definitely go if this happens here!
Hmmm... That gives me hope... I wish I knew what the future holds.

Sounds like a very good year for you, Joost; I'm happy for you! Happy 2014 to you and all DM's members. :)
This time last year I was preparing for my big operation and had it all in front of me, now I look back, hear my new heart valve ticking away and thank god I wasn't born 50 years earlier when this wasn't possible.
"Marley and Me" brings back memories! We rented it to watch as a family about 5 years ago, thinking it was a comedy and not realizing what a tearjerker it is. I cried so hard I think I freaked the kids out a little. ha2ha

Kevin, you also had the finest RN possible managing your post-op course.
I took my daughter to see Mighty Joe Young with Charlise Theron when she was a teenager and when she thought he was dead she started bawling all the way out of the theater at the end. Everyone in the exit line thought it was cute and a sympathetic woman smiled and gave her a hug to comfort her! She looked at me smiling and I just said" You know how those girl and her monkey movies are" and Eliz just cracked up and laugh/cried all the way to the car! We still joke about it today!
Thats a cool story Dave. My mom still cracks up at me for crying during Dr. Doolittle when he threw the seal over the cliff. I was little and thought he was hurting the seal for some reason and here he was just letting the seal go in the ocean. My mom said I just fell apart. Lol.

Every Barry in Oz is known as Baz or Bazza KE ;)
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!How cute! Have you ever been called strawberry?

I imagine Barry will be a Bazza too here in NZ, I just don't any real Barrys.
Australianism!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!
My sister sometimes calls me Roo :)
I got such a shock when I knew the story behind Waltzing Matilda.... It wasn't about a cute koala bear called Matilda like I thought it was.....
H_G - you are a treasure!
And another one of my favorite Aussie idioms: Pushing sh*t uphill
Even worse is: Pushing sh*t uphill with a pointy stick
I learned a lot from my chief resident.
Australianism!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Thanks, KE and Dcazz! Now let's see if I can get my taxes done. ;) Paid over $400 to H&R Block last year and they #$@%-ed it up.
I'm leaving to have outpatient surgery in a minute and will be offline for a couple of days because I have to stay off my feet for a bit. Will miss you all.

Thanks, Dave and KE! I mended pretty quickly and, thank God, the biopsy was clear. Now I'm back to stressing about work, money, and taxes. ;)

Kathy, I'm so sorry I wasn't here to share my good wishes with you. I hope you're feeling better now and that life will treat you well. You deserve it, my friend.
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!
When you look at it that way, housework doesn't seem too bad after all, huh?
ha2ha Indeed! Talk about a new perspective!
I'm glad you're back up and about again, Kelley. :)
Aren't they a joy sometimes!
Teenagers have got to be the most frustrating creatures on earth.....How is it possible for them to be basically sweet, good kids and yet incredibly self-centered and obnoxious????? I'm so annoyed with my younger daughter right now that I'm tempted to go to her school and have her called out of class so I can confiscate her phone. My phone just beeped -- another text from her; she is STILL arguing with me! Arrrrrrgggh. 5dp
Aren't they a joy sometimes!
They sure are! I keep telling myself they're just acting like normal teenagers and that I know lots of people (like you, Dave!) who have survived raising them, with their sanity intact. I still have tearing-my-hair-out moments though. 2chI was a single dad for more than 6 years. My kids were 7 and 11 and WOW did I go thru it with my daughter sometimes. She is just like me and we could butt heads really well! It all works out in the end though. We're as tight as can be and talk almost every day. If you don't fight with them they don't think you care! So go ahead and have a good argument... they'll love you for it! ha2ha

One of my favorite quotes relevant to the frustration of rearing kids is: "Parents of teenagers know why animals sometimes eat their offspring."Congrats! I was a single dad and it's nice to see them do well.
I'm a divorced/single dad of a teenaged daughter but I have to confess she has been nothing short of wonderful for the 5 years we've been on our own. She will celebrate her 17th birthday next month and graduate from high school in May.

I bet it's great to actually have fun with them! I always tease my kids that when they have kids, I am going to spoil them rotten. I can't wait!Some things never change!
Back to teenagers for a sec, I was flipping through a book on them today while I was in an office waiting room and laughed out loud at the following epigraph, which appeared on the page before Chapter 1....Let me see if I can attach the cell phone pic I took of it......
Our youth today now love luxury. 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.He's having a blast!!! Relax! What could happen?! ha2ha
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

It's been winter since November here in Canada and it'll be winter until May, sighIf I may ask/ What part of Canadia you you live in?
Hey Kathy! North Dakota just got voted the happiest state in the union. ;D Smile!
Atlantic Canada :pIn the late 80's I did a drive through Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and had a blast! Out of 7 days we had 6 with all sunshine and warm. Went to Alexander Graham Bell museum, Fort Louisburg Shelburne, Very nice country!

My daughters left on their week-long school band trip to CA today <sniff>.
I remember seeing my then 14 yea old son off for a massive bus ride down to the mountains in Victoria for a school ski trip
I was bereft for a day or two worrying about him, its horrible when your kids go off without you
He must be devastated! Do they still show the gross movies of car crashes?!
Went with my son for his driving test yesterday. He failed before he even got out of the parking lot. ha2ha
Do they still show the gross movies of car crashes?!
He must be devastated! Do they still show the gross movies of car crashes?!
No, they don't show that movie in Drivers Ed anymore Dave. I think society got to sissified. ha2ha
What kind of school did you go to, Dave? I mean showing kids movies like that. And kids beating up on others for wearing white socks. And Magical Mystery Tour vests. :)The movie was a driver ed. movie that showed real accident scenes to impress on us 16 year olds the consequence's of our mistakes. Very graphic!
I rarely rate my parenting skills. But my 17 year old daughter has got her boyfriend watching Help downstairs. I must have done something right.
Trouble is. I want to join them to watch it. But I somehow suspect that wouldn't be welcome.

I missed this when you first posted it, Dave! ha2ha During labor, I swear I was ready to clock the next person who told me to breathe.And the whole time all you wanted was a cool facecloth on your forehead and an encouraging word! Push!!!
I learned last night that half a dozen glasses of wine and my old wedding video is a very bad combination. :'(
Be careful with that stuff, Kathleen.
Breakfast at the Caswell's
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...
My dogs run everything away. Well one of them anyways. The bulldog is lucky to get outside before he has to lay down and take another nap.
At one point he tried climbing the brick wall at the fireplace. I still have claw marks on some of the bricks.
I'm envious of you guys, getting to see all this wildlife! All I ever see is the occasional jackrabbit or clumsy pheasant meandering by the side of the road. Oh, yes, and there was a bit of an uproar last fall when a moose was spotted wandering in the golf course across the street. ;)I've got 5 fireplaces! roll:)
A brick fireplace! Now I've added your place, in addition to Dave's house and Kelley's house, to my list of Residences To Envy. ;D
I've got 5 fireplaces! roll:)
:)Here's the biggest one of all!
I put a screen on top of the chimney so no more critters can get in that way. :)

Aww! My Jillian (the German Shepherd) lays like that a lot. Sometimes she forgets to pull her head out before she gets up, the silly girl. She feels it's her duty to immediately jump up if I get up off the couch. She's always looking out for me...She's a beautiful dog.

Sounded like one of them sci-fi flying saucers was hovering over my yard...for three weeks!

That's such a cute photo, Kelley! She's a lovely dog.

Oh Hello Goodbye, you have the best clips!
Both computers went down on the same day!!!
What'd I miss! What'd I miss!
I was wondering where you were! Those computers got together and decided to go on strike it sounds like. They can really try a person's patience, that's for sure.Darn!
Oh, you just wouldn't believe it, Dave! We had to delete it all it was so scandalous. ;)
Darn!
Did your Boston hold still long enough t get it off?!
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.
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.It's OK! I know how to treat it now!
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 ;)
Aw, Dave and Kelley, it's nice that you are so kind to your animals.
Bumble Foot!
Ow; that looks painful!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.
I've been hearing somebody running around the attic for a bit. yesterday I set a Have A heart trap and went to check it and it had been tripped but empty. We'll, I went and got another spoonful of peanut butter for the trigger and guess who was sitting there looking at me?! A weasel!!!
Stay tuned! This could get interesting!
I once had a squirrel chew his way though the wood siding into my attic.
My wife just finished ATGAS and All Things Bright and Beautiful
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.
Yikes! Aren't weasels mean, like badgers?They're little killers! They're cute though!
Crafty little bugger! How do you think he got in there?I think I heard him crawling up the columns by the front door and into the attic.

Sometimes it boggles the mind. I hope it gets straightened out soon Kathy.
BTW, I'm working on getting access to Ancestry for our library and the guy that I've been e-mailing in the course of this thinks my name is Kathy. I'm not sure whether I really need to correct him or not! He got it right once. LOL
I'm still amazed that these aren't handled in a more secure manner.
So, you're getting a subscription to Ancestry for the library patrons to use? That sounds great!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!
Any ideas/suggestions what to do with a carpet that is soaked in water?
My portable heat pump had a leak and now the carpet is wet. Also the room stinks but I can't open the window and let fresh air inside as the window is sealed (for the heat pump's tube purposes)
Tomorrow my girlfriend and I are going packpacking again.
I haven't seen a heat pump in years!
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...
Have a safe trip and a good time, Joost.

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!
It's very lucky that I forgot my keys!!!!!!!

What a great day for birds today!
I think the bird who was having the best day was Popcorn! (That is her on your lap, right?) That is a great picture Dave!That's "Sweetheart". She spent about 15 minutes with me getting a scratch. She's like a cat!
This is the first time I've seen these. Look who's not amuzed with me petting the chicken!
Look who's not amuzed with me petting the chicken!

LOL I've seen that same look on my German Shepherd when I'm paying attention to one of the other dogs.
I meant to say, Kelley, that that pic you posted of your German Shepherd peering over the stairwell made me smile. I could practically read her expression of "What are you doing? I'm waiting to continue MMT!" ;D
She certainly earned a good rest after the winter that just passed!She is of unsurpassed loyalty!
She is of unsurpassed loyalty!
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.
I know what you mean Kathy, I dont think it will EVER change.
Im always going on at my boys for wasting money, they both like to be fashionable, they both still live at home, they both went into debt for cars against my wishes, they will pay $50 for a haircut in the city etc etc...........$200 for a pair of bloody jeans ???

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". ... 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!
You shoulda tried this line: "Are you wearin' pants under that belt?"
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.
Eeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!
Eeeeeeeeeew!!!!!!!!
10 days vacation! ;D
I'm proud of my girl, that's for sure. Now comes the job hunt. There's no telling where she'll end up since there's not much research happening in these parts.
As for ramen noodles they make me cringe too when I see them. Our resident "problem patron" eats them in the library...raw, powder and all. roll:)

Yesterday I drilled 26 post holes. Today I put 26 posts in them! My vegetable garden will be 72' by40' and is now ready for fencing! I wish I was normal and could just do a reasonable back yard garden but I guess I'm not made that way!
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.
I was banned from a Library last year for not talking to an Assistant who liked me.
Funny old world.
Cool, what vegetables are you going to grow Dcazz? I much prefer growing veg to flowers, they taste much better. I'm a small time Gardener, I have grown some carrots and runner beans, I'm going to try tomatoes too.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.
I have been Vegetarian for 7 months now. Incredible.

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!" ......
We have 4 black bears in the neighborhood this year. Parents and 2 cubs. Cubs were on the 2nd floor deck looking in the door! I heard them grunting under our window earlier this week looking for bird seed and suet. We bring it all in every night. I don't want to encourage them!
I make sure when I come home from work after 10 pm that I make a lot of noise and get a flashlight. They'll only confront if you get between them and the cubs and for food of course. I find the best deterrent is noise. gives them a heads up your coming!
I just finished a big steaming box of Beef Lo Mein!

I've read about 3-D printers but I never saw one in action until I went to the dentist today. He actually made my new crown right in his office so no walking around with a temporary one for two weeks. Very cool!

He actually made my new crown right in his office so no walking around with a temporary one for two weeks. Very cool!That's really something! I read about this but did not know it was so far along. This technology could/has change everything. We just don't know how far!
Aha! The dreaded North American Wall Weasel.Actually, a full grown "Least Weasel"! I saw him come down from our Hickory tree and into the wall. They're so curious and fearless it didn't run away. Big mistake!
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.
I'm not sure how common these are Kathy. My dentist seems to always have the latest thing. I hope if you do need the procedure this is available because it was the easiest crown I've ever had done.
^^^You'd have to look at the pits to see how deep the stains were. Lol!
That's cute, Dave. When I was a senior my Trig and Probability teacher wore a pink dress shirt every single day! I always wondered if was the same one or if he just had several.
I wonder if you could figure it out using what he taught in Probability?!ha2ha I think there was a 3:1 chance that he only had one.
My son just told me that my life is like a sing-along.That's quite a compliment!
That's quite a compliment!
Oh well, It sounded good from here! They need a smiley face icon to express that one!

Crickey, can't even read a book without my glasses...
Ha! Kaleidoscope eyes indeed! ;D
I just read an article this week that suggests that OJ is covering for his son. it will be interesting to see what comes of it if anything.
Who told you, you need glasses?
5:15-6:15
I think it means your finally in touch with your "inner boy"
I just read an article this week that suggests that OJ is covering for his son. it will be interesting to see what comes of it if anything.
You know, I actually find The Three Stooges to be pretty funny now. Used to be I couldn't stand them. I'm not really sure what that means, LOL.
Hm, maybe I should give them another try. I've never seen the humor in The Three Stooges, although I realize I'm definitely in the minority.
Oh no! Sounds like a hormone problem. I'll vote for lightening up. ;)I agree! Who needs a hormone problem!
I read that Hitler was a fan until they did these two shorts!
Wasn't his son like, 10, at the time? (I'm not expecting an answer to that, just thinking aloud ;))I think he was older. It was an online article a while ago. He had bad psych problems. I would have to dig it up to get it right.

The Three stooges were brilliant political satirists...
If you want to know what was going on in the world back then all you do is watch The Stooges. They covered (spoofed!) it all! Polio, Lindberg baby, The Great Depression, Hitler, Tojo, prohibition, Quack Drs., gangsters, the list goes on...! Oh, and tassels! Didn't the Italian fascists wear tassels on their belts?! You had to tickle Curley's feet to bring him out of his rage!
Question: What did OJ Simpson say to his attorneys as they were leaving the courtroom after his Not Guilty verdict?
Answer: Oh sh*t! I forgot my gloves!
It was released in 1940 nine months before the Charlie Chaplin film "The Great Dictator," which began filming in September 1939.
Interesting. I always Chaplin was the first entertainer hiighlight the growing threat.
Yikes, just got the insurance/medical statements for my son's well-child exam. The meningitis vaccine alone was $172. Luckily it was fully covered.

I always thought that, too.

Good idea Dave but I'm not willing to kick Paul McCartney off my phone for Larry, Curly and Moe!Oh! Come On!!!
Good idea Dave but I'm not willing to kick Paul McCartney off my phone for Larry, Curly and Moe!
Don't let Moe hear you say that!
;D
I guess not! But he was very good at what he did. The scenes where he gets them both in rapid succession are especially masterful. LOL
"Moe! Larry! The cheese!"
Yeah, and those were just his face slaps. There were also eye pokes, head conks, nose honks, and lots more acts of mayhem...
;D
And perfect sound effects to go with them. I'm not saying that I think all that stuff is funny but I did laugh. ;)Don't forget the bass drum to the belly!
Moe's daughter, Joan, was ten times tougher than her dad!
Arrgh! I'm stuck here at work waiting for a computer to install 39 updates so I can turn off the power strip. The really dumb part is that it's not actually even doing anything because it has software that prevents patrons from making changes. I'm afraid of shutting it off though. These computers run my life!
I'm watching a movie called 'Transcendence' where computers take over the world.
Kelley, ignore the "do not shut off computer" warning while updates are being installed. If your 'puter is hung up, just shut it down. Nothing bad will happen. When you turn it back on, it will go through the update installation routine again.
I'm back home, thank God. If I hear one more Bob Marley cover song I think I'm going to vomit. (I couldn't even listen to the originals on the way home!)
Welcome home Kathy and I promise we won't make you listen to any reggae covers. We have this little shop in town called Ice Cream Island. It's the same sort of thing there and also Jimmy Buffet covers. Lots of them. I usually send one of the kids down to bring it home. :)
Perhaps they should have played Paul's very ska early take of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da...
That would have been infinitely better!

Boy am I sleepy!!!!
Yesterday I passed a sign advertising a local children's theater production of Macbeth. Seems a rather dark choice for a children's theater group. ha2ha
Boy am I sleepy!!!!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! :)
Weird how this thread is not at the top as usual :-\
Does it matter to you if you don't get rewarded or voiced appreciation from your managers?
I took a walk tonight on the d**e behind our property and saw 6 deer, a fox and then an eagle. That eagle was a surprise and I had to do some Googling to make sure that's what it was. I had no idea all that went on back there! There's a lot of trees between the d**e and our place.d**e ?
d**e ?
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 guess the censor thought I was using a politically incorrect label regarding someone's sexual orientation. Did it just censor sexual? LOL. There's a setting where you can turn the censor off. Now I know how the Smothers Brothers felt!
The Forum program does the censoring. There's a set list of words that triggers the *s
I'll try again
I will.
I knew I could count on you! ha2ha

RIP Robin Williams; my heart aches for your family and for how terribly you must have been suffering. Depression sucks, for lack of a more sophisticated term.
We got our first summer squash out of our new garden! Cooked with fresh cilantro! yum!
Lucky! That freakin' woodchuck ate the leaves off the ones my daughter planted. They blossomed but there's nothing else there.They're a pain for sure. I had one sitting on his haunches looking in the fence but the plastic weed mat cover scares them (I think)! I spent most of my spring building this thing and it's paying off now. I didn't plant till the first week of July but everything's catching up now. I've got some fine tuning to do this month and then I'll send some pictures.
I've got some fine tuning to do this month and then I'll send some pictures.
I'll have to show those to my daughter. Of course she probably won't be here next year to put any new ideas to work. I wish she would have majored in something with job prospects around here.Not anthropology! I hope!
Isnt it horrible when you get an unexpected bill to pay >:(
Yesterday I walked outside and noticed my home sewerage tank was literally overflowing !!
So a call to the service Co resulted in a man being there in an hour and an $800 bill for a new pump :o
One of those things that cant wait ha2ha
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

Oh well at least you have a shiny new washer to look at
I cant see anything I couldnt see yesterday ???
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.)
I feel for you both; there is never a good time for those big unexpected bills. And they usually do involve something that must be fixed ASAP.
Oh well at least you have a shiny new washer to look at
That would have bought a lot of beer, pizza and records lol.

How about those N.E. Patriots! Great game!
I'm not sure my son would agree with you....He went stomping off to his room in a huff. ha2ha

I saw my football team lose 2-1, my wife saw her football team lose 1-0, but in England today there's a spring in everybody's step. I give you.....
.....Man. Utd. 1 Swansea City 2.
Such things truly bring a country together - if you could bottle it you'd be a millionaire.
Agreed!
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.
I'm afraid to read about dead appliances in case it's contagious!I think I fixed mine! The curse could be broken! :P
Speaking of which...I'm heading up to Rich Stadium on October 12th Dave. I bet you know what game that is!It wouldn't be Buffalo would it?!
It wouldn't be Buffalo would it?!
Here are a few pictures of the garden. it's not finished as I need to put in the horizontal braces and a cap to hold it steady. I'll wait for cooler weather for this!
Yeah, it's Buffalo but guess who we're playing.The Patriots!
The Patriots!
Yep! My son is treating his dad and I to a game in October. Of course my son is going too, and bringing his friend. I'm anxious to meet this kid. He's a big Beatles fan. LOLI'm sure you'll both get along fine!
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! :)
I'm so glad you didn't hit that big boy Dave!He was pretty big. he didn't even look at me! just kept going. It was quite a surprise!
He was pretty big. he didn't even look at me! just kept going. It was quite a surprise!
Dave, I was pretty surprised last night to see a bear crossing sign on I-86 when we were traveling to the concert. I guess I saw the sign and you saw the bear!We make a good team! how was the concert? The gear looked pretty good!
Must've been sumthin' y'ate.That should take a while longer! ha2ha
We make a good team! how was the concert? The gear looked pretty good!
I wonder if those were vintage Vox amps?
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
This recently discovered film of The Beatles proves who did the ahhhs...
Well, that was yesterday and...
;D

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. ;)
You can't deprive an Eagles fan from watching! I'm sure he was happier with the result of this game, (http://)
^^^^
I thought I posted this before, but now I don't see my post.
Anyway -- wonderful photo, Dave; thanks for sharing! :)
Uh oh! I wonder where it went, Kathy?Oh but it does! doesn't it! ha2ha
Dave, that is a nice picture. They look much happier than we did watching the results of the Bills game on the news. I keep telling myself, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! LOL
More sport I'm afraid but, as it seemed to go down quite well last time, and as it might have been missed over the pond.....M.K. Dons 4 (four), Manchester United 0.
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!
Stupid car smells like gas in the interior, but no visible exterior leaks. Just Googled that. Will have to take the stupid thing in again. (Yes, the car, an inanimate object, is stupid. I stand by my irrational claim! ;) )

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.
Bad fuel tank breather pipes most likely.
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)
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!
Hope it all goes well tomorrow morning.
Don't feel bad Kathy; it's great that you keep up with the oil.
Girls don't know nuthin' about cars.
Yeah, well, men don't know nuthin' about women. ;)
I was staring out of the window from the top deck of a London bus the other day (Route 55: Leyton to Oxford Circus, it takes hours) and it finally dawned on me what a mass of people look like when all walking along gazing at mobile phones.....a scene from the 50s film 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'.
Manchester City 1, Manchester United 0.
Electing to laugh 'toward' rather than 'at' Man. U. on this one which, I think you'll agree, makes me a better person.
A bird crapped on my shoulder..... Two days later I get a letter confirming my job position is secured (as we are going through a restructure)
I remember reading somewhere that that (getting pooped on by a bird) is supposed to be good luck. ;)I think that was stepping in horse poop!
When it happens here it's of the dog variety and it just means that the shoe or paw scrubbing protocol has to be initiated...quickly.No good luck to speak of!

Kathy, if you're wondering why I edited your post and deleted part of it, well, I pushed the wrong button. I thought I hit "quote" but instead it was "modify". Then I spent some time going "huh???". I tried to fix it but I only had part of what you said to paste back in. I'm really sorry! It was all a silly misclickulation. roll:)

I love my Kindle since space is at a premium in my apartment but I had to get this in hardcover. A beautifully illustrated book.
My elder daughter is going to her first prom! :) (Two of them, actually; her date goes to a Catholic high school, and she goes to public school.) What happened to my little chubby bunny? :'( Now she's 17, tall, and willowy. Not quite sure how I feel about that. ???
Wow, two proms! Does that mean two different gowns? It does seem like they grow up so fast.
I hope your daughters enjoy their proms! Man, I remember going to school parties and discos and getting all dollyed up.
I just noticed the different news items in our banner..... One says "read our rules" and the other says "thank you!". Was it always like that?
I just noticed the different news items in our banner..... One says "read our rules" and the other says "thank you!". Was it always like that?
No, unfortunately, unless we can find a fantastic bargain, she'll wear the same gown to both proms.
That's good. I was worried you were going to have to buy two.
It's too funny! I can smell the smoke from here!
Is it worse than Windows 8?

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.

Chelsea have lost in Europe.
Still, they've got their racism to fall back on and, in fairness, Jose Mourinho has still got his Phil Collins records.....he is the 'chosen one' after all.

Yeah. And we're getting three inches of snow tomorrow!
One of my daughters just told me One Direction fans have started a #cutforzayn movement -- as in, cutting oneself (self-harm) -- to persuade Zayn Malik to rejoin the band. I find that kind of hysteria very unsettling. :-\
Michael Brown from The Left Banke who wrote "Walk Away Renee" passed away on March 19th. Another from the 60s.
Jeremy Clarkson has finally been sacked from 'Top Gear' (always thought 'Top Gear' was a late 60s Peel show).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.
Expect within a few weeks news of a Sky contract and a considerably higher wage.
Thatcher's children may be c*** at cinema, television, pop music, theatre, sport etc. etc. but boy can they sniff out a pay cheque.

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.

Just saw a t-shirt in a catalog that reads "When I Was a Kid, We Didn't Have Bottled Water — We Had a Garden Hose"
Fond childhood memories :)
I should never use my phone to type more than a few words at a time. My friend and I are going on a trip in a few weeks. I wanted to ask her if she'd mind being the driver. So predictive text sends "Would you miss me being the driver?" Then when I tried to fix it the dumb thing said "Would you make me a nematode?" No lie!
ha2ha I actually did laugh out loud at that, Kelley! The first thing I do when I get a new phone is turn off all the auto-correct functions -- it's just about the only thing I can do quickly on my device.
P.S. Hope you and your friend have a good trip!
Then when I tried to fix it the dumb thing said "Would you make me a nematode?" No lie!
It will be great to spend time with my friend. She's one of those rare people I have left who has known me my whole life...and still can stand me! LOL
I've been thinking....that's actually a pretty sophisticated word for an autocorrect/spell program! I had to Google nematode.
Yeah, I don't know why it came up with that. It "learns" words that I've already used but I certainly have never put that one on my grocery list!
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
Kelley, I've been meaning to come back to this thread and share that my ex sent me a text that he'd clearly typed too quickly because his auto-correct subbed the word coitus for could. ha2ha Then I got thinking, "Hey, didn't Kelley mentions that auto-correct 'learns' words that you use?" Maybe he's a Big Bang Theory fan, too.
I think I'll go out now for a strawberry sundae and a doggie sundae of course!
Yum! My mouth is watering. I'd pick a hot fudge sundae, though. ;D
What happened!?
I have or had some of this. I bought a NordicTrac inversion machine and hang upside down once in a while. Stretches out all the disc's and realigns the spine nicely. I'm sure your bodies just fine. ;)
<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.
All she left was the cup. I'd say it was a hit!
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!

Oh, Kathy! I understand where you're coming from. I have something going on from computer overuse too. I don't know if it's trigger finger or tendonitis or what but it hurt like crazy for a while. It's better since I bought flatter mice for work and home. And that plantar fasciitis...ouch! I had that from wearing flip-flops to let the dogs out one summer. Orthotics and stretching cleared that up but I am very careful what I wear on my feet. Did you have it worse in the morning? It was always a rude awakening because I'd forget about it in my groggy state until my feet hit the floor. Now I haven't had to hang upside down like Dave for my back yet. LOL I just lay on the floor and stretch and everything pops back in, for a while anyway. My family doesn't even get alarmed when they find me on the floor anymore. They just step over me! So remember; you're not alone! ;)

Old Grey Mare, huh? Oh, you're a riot Barry; a regular riot! I know that litany of ailments made us sound like a couple of little old ladies but we can still kick...to the moon! :P

That version's a bit salacious! :)
I had to laugh at your last couple of sentences, Kelley! It's good to know I'm not alone. Yes, the plantar fasciitis was terrible in the morning! I finally remembered to stretch before trying to get up or else I'd be staggering around like I'd had a few too many Mother's Little Helpers (ha ha, Barry!).
That version's a bit salacious! :)I've got to find my dictionary now!
Rusty stayed around for ten years appreciating the times we let him in the house. He was always on his best behavior and acted like any other house cat. But his domain was the woods across the street.
Had one. Psychedelia for kids!
;)
Rusty looked like a real tough guy! It's amazing that he allowed himself to become even an occasional house cat.
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 whena kid could have fun without electronics. ;D
Let me correct that: When kids most often had fun without electronics.
Let me correct you: kids didn't have electronics, other than a AM radio! ;D
Thank god I grew up in the 70's.... roll:)
The 60s was better. Even less electronics and there was no disco!
Made a big "mom" mistake: Bought a bath puff for my son to bring to Scout camp. (It was black and dark green!) You would have thought I'd presented him with a maribou-trimmed negligee, for goodness' sake. The look on his face was priceless. Then I remembered I'd made the exact same mistake last year! ha2ha
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.
Next year get him a jock strap! You'll get the same reaction! Lol!
I'd take the bath puff. The pranking possibilities at camp seem limitless.
What's maribou ???
What's maribou ???
I guess it's some sort of girl thing, Dave.
The feathers might be nice but I bet the beak would hurt! :P
If it's a girl thing it could also be a guy thing! I wouldn't want to miss anything!

I see! Very nice!... and what would a not so conservative one look like?!
I'd say that's why you got 3 kids!
This is about as racy a picture I can find without unintentionally pulling up some really gross websites! ;D
I used to have a bunch of this stuff; I bought it for my honeymoon... after 3 kids, that ship sailed pretty fast. ha2ha
That's why I said you'll have to go looking for yourself! Most of the pictures have something other than a dress form or hanger in them. ;)That's OK< I'm educated now. Amazing what an ugly bird can do!
Okay Dave and Barry, this is a marabou:
I meant to say yesterday, Kelley, that's interesting; I always assumed marabou was a synthetic material. I had no idea a marabou was a bird. Learn something new every day!
As a parent with kids mostly grown, I was mulling over the oft expressed thought that people wish they could go back in time and tell their younger self what they know now. It occurred to me that such advice was being given. By our parents. We just didn't listen.
Yay! Our local theater is showing Psycho in late September. I've always wanted to see it on the big screen.
Just don't walk home alone in the dark afterwards like my aunt did when she went to see it!
... and DON"T take a shower till the morning!!!
My father-in-law passed away last night. He lived 96 very good years and I thought I was okay, knowing that he got to pass from his great life relatively easily compared to a lot of the older family members we've lost recently. But then I found the perfect picture of him to share on Facebook and suddenly it's very hard.

Our local newspaper is falling all over itself apologizing -- two printed statements so far -- for misspelling "duck" with an "f" in an article on hunting the other day. Guess they don't bother proofing their pages. ;)

Very random this: how do I make a line drawing out of a photo? I want to get it printed on textile but I don't think it can be a proper photo, a single colour line drawing would probably work better, right...? Its a hoodie, specs here ([url]http://print24.com/uk/product/long-sleeves/[/url])
Wow, Kathy! You've got a clever girl there!
Thanks so much Normandie, thank your daughter too! :)
Thanks! I just wish she'd pay that much attention to her math homework. ;D
Ah, math stinks! I almost never use it. ;)

That was fun and makes me feel somewhat better! I could have sworn that Una Merkel was Ado Annie until I looked it up and saw that Gloria Grahame played that role. Good thing they just said Niagara instead of Niagara Falls!
My younger daughter has to have all 4 wisdom teeth out, and she's not too happy with her oral surgeon's surname: Deatherage. ha2ha
Interesting! That aside, I hope it's not too difficult for her. My kids had that done when they were quite young but they did well. I still have mine. It was weird being a 21 year old newlywed and cutting teeth! When's the surgery?
I had that done when I was 16 or so! My jaw still snaps!

Who would ever imagine that producing a 10 page newsletter for 90 recipients could be so fraught with problems? But all I have to do now is stick the stamps on them and put them in the mailbox. I can't wait to see what goes wrong with that!
At least stamps are now self-sticking! ;D
True, that! But I forgot to swing by the post office and drop them in the box after work. When I pull out of our parking lot the post office is directly in front of me! I think I need help.
^^^^
Smart move, Kelley. I still have a few more things to pick up. Enjoy the cooking marathon. :)
An excerpt from an op-ed piece from CNN.... roll:)
At the University of Connecticut, students can claim a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Puppetry. At Skidmore, you can twerk to "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus." At Brown, there is a course "On Being Bored." At Occidental, in a rare victory for truth in marketing, they can take a course in "Stupidity."
These Top 10 Elf on the Shelf Fails made me laugh out loud, No. 8 in particular. The captions are hilarious!
Just got 2nd row orchestra seats to The Tenors in March!
I think this is actually the picture, from 1890:
Great picture, Kelley! I almost feel like I'm there.
I love steam heat, too. I remember how frightening the steam pipes could sound in my old college buildings. They produced some pretty strange noises!
I'm in a panic because SyFy pulled a fast one on me this year, LOL; the Twilight Zone marathon is starting 12 hours earlier than usual, in about an hour. I still have four articles to edit!

Don't worry Kathleen. There's time enough at last.
Very true, Barry, and I did manage to catch that episode, in fact. :)
This must be the most romantic Valentine's Day ever for me: I'm spending it waiting for a phone call from my advocate to discuss my annulment petition. That's gotta be some sort of record for being pathetic. ha2ha
I hope you all are having a nice one. icon_love

I'm sorry to hear that you are still dealing with all that Kathy. I hope the phone call brought some good progress.
(As you can see, I have great coping skills.)
Time for some Beatles music, perhaps.
Nah! Time for Nancy Sinatra!

Shhhhhhhhh!
:P
Wow; it's been quiet here! I hope all's well with everyone.
Shhhhhhhhh!
Shouldn't that be Kelley's line given that she works in a library? ;D
It has been quiet. We need someone to start a controversial thread. Like "Ringo was a better songwriter than John" or something like that.

Just a few more hectic days. I will get the All Things Must Pass microscope on line after that. Maybe that will help.
Plus, I've been listening to a lot of 21st Century rock bands, which to be honest, was never a popular subject around here.
Start a thread. I'd be interested in hearing what new bands people listen to. I've got quite a few I like.
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
Just got back from my daughters' last band concert. I started crying at the senior tribute. This does not bode well for graduation. :'(
I love classical music!

Moms are supposed to cry at graduations.
Nice posts Barry!

That's right, Kathy. It's in the Mom Manual. ;)
What a great group. I heard their 'Scarborough Fair' on the radio the other day and it hit me just so...goose pimples.
roll:)
Those girls could sing!
And they looked good doing it!
I'm not talking about just crying; I mean the hiccupping, heaving, sobbing kind. Two daughters plus no spouse (on whose shoulder to cry) = I'll be in the hallway during the ceremony.
Still my favorite Beatles cover...
...and has been since 1968.
Aww...when's graduation?
But I'm a sobber, not a tissue-dabber. I've already warned my son that he's probably going to be embarrassed, LOL.
Planted a new Willow tree today! Now we just look and wait!
Hre's a picture of my latest project. I'm building a trellis for some Climbing Hydrangea! 1/2 done!
Looks nice, Dave! I bet it'll be gorgeous with the hydrangea.It's south facing with some shade during the afternoon. Should be just right! I hope!
I bought my Kleenex today for my daughters' high school graduation ceremony (June 5). Given that even a few strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" makes me choke up, I will definitely be needing them. ;D
It's good to be prepared! I think I'd better make sure to have some the day before, when I see Ringo. There's no telling how I'm going react. LOL
When is the concert?
It's next Saturday night at 8:00. It's an outside, open-bleachers event so it will either be a beautiful night under the stars or a not-so-beautiful night under the umbrellas!Bring a boat cushion for the bumski!
^^^^
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a beautiful night under the stars. :)
Bring a boat cushion for the bumski!
Aww, thanks Kathy!I saw Jeff Beck's, There and back tour at the Berkeley Greek Amphitheater sitting on granite seats. I thought my ass was going to get up and leave without me!!!
LOL Yeah, we've got some kind of seats for the bleachers at Ralph Wilson Stadium. I'm getting too old to do without. ;)

ha2ha I totally know that feeling. I haven't seen an actual rock concert in years, but my son's band concerts are always held in the school gymnasium, with pull-out wooden bleachers. I always hobble out of there with a numb butt and a backache.
Numb bum syndrome. ;Dit's a silent killer!
Just found this online and it made me smile (and groan):

Someone in our building has two toilets on their outdoor balcony. So classy. >:(
I've seen them used as planters for flowers. roll:)
I got approval to adopt a black Pomeranian (purebred) from the Humane
Aww! I'm so glad you're getting a little buddy. He's a cute little guy and looks very healthy and bright. Do you know his background? What's his name?
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. ;)
So I get to watch the Twilight Zone July 4 marathon in peace!
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!
Happy Gotcha Day to Rodney and his new family!!
Nice looking Pomeranian, Kathleen. I know you'll take good care of him.
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.
:P What a stupid pet trick I pulled!!! Put a Philips head screw driver bit through my pinkie finger! Go ahead slap me, I can take it!
Where do you go to get it, Kelley?

Me too! I'm so glad I managed to keep Windows 10 at bay.
I had a great teacher...
You sure did. And that song is...I'm not quite sure what word describes it best. Powerful maybe? It strikes a chord that's for sure. I had to go get lost in "That'll Never Happen Now More" land for a while after. :)

Rough day today. We almost lost our 11 year old male black Lab during surgery. He stopped breathing but the vet was able to resuscitate him. He's doing well tonight but we're still left with finding a non-surgical solution to his original problem.

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.
But I must be a real glutton for punishment as I just now got off the phone with the cable tv company.
ha2ha Sounds like you survived, though, Kelley! I had to deal with our cable company several months ago, and it was NOT fun. Think several phone calls and at least two service visits.
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!
I think you should definitely opt for the ocean. After all...
The beach is a place where amangirl can feel
She's the only soul in the world that's real
No. It's just slithy.
I thought it was supposed to be lithe and slimy but it doesn't look like it's either of those things.
I hope the Jabberwock doesn't show up later. I've been having some really weird dreams lately.
That's a Kelley-friendly tove.
Just make sure you have your vorpal blade handy.
I just sharpened it today.
That reminded me of one time, back when we lived in Virginia, where the crickets are HUGE (not tiny like they are here in NoDak), and I went to get our dog a treat out of the treat bag, which we kept in the garage. When I pulled my hand out there was an enormous cricket on it! My scream put Jamie Lee Curtis's to shame. ha2ha My then-husband was sure one of the neighbors was going to call 911.
I know the kind of cricket you're talking about, Kathleen. We got them in New Jersey too. Camel Crickets! They're not only HUGE but UGLY too!
I know the kind of cricket you're talking about, Kathleen. We got them in New Jersey too. Camel Crickets! They're not only HUGE but UGLY too!
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.
I just had a terrible emergency. I couldn't find my corkscrew. ha2ha
Well Kelley, if other countries would get with the screwtop wine bottle program (like we have with a gusto downunder) then a lack of cork screw will never bother you again.

Black Opal- Best drinkable wine I've ever had! Hail, hail the screw top!
Let's drink a toast to Mr. Stelvin!
There's still wineries down here that use corks but it's getting increasingly infrequent. So much that when I do find a bottle with a cork I really resent the effort to open it. ;)
I'll definitely drink to that. Or to most anything really. ;D
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. ;)
Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Boone's Farm ([url]http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2011/04/drinking-the-bottom-shelf-boones-farm.html[/url])
^^^^^^
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 isincreasing.
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.
Could someone please tell me if my wine bottle picture is upside down? LOL

I meant DEcreasing, of course. I know you know that, but I'm a bit OCD about correcting myself. :)
This one's more tame...
But we added the original rhymes we learned about the maid from Amsterdam who was a mistress of her trade. ;)
Such a sad, sad day. :'(
Hey! I think it works. I can look at that with no problems. ha2ha
Not the same as my dad's old American Flyer set, but what the heck...
Is that yours George? It looks very festive!
Yep. El Cheapo Walmart stuff including the train. ha2ha
But it looks nice. Trains are relaxing to watch.

Every time I would go to the supermarket with my mom, we'd pass the Hamburger Express. I would always say "I'm hungry!" even if I wasn't. ;D
I had my 6 birthday party at that place, Kelley. It was the best birthday party ever!
Did it work?
I hope your folks took lots of pictures!
It always worked. ;D
It was a surprise party. They told me we were going to the Hamburger Express for lunch. They didn't take the camera along. I guess they figured that if I saw the camera I'd think that something was up.
:)
Just like I always took my son by the rail yard when we went downtown. LOL
I’ll bet you remember it very well anyway. :)
When I was a kid, we had Hamburger Express a couple of blocks away. This is how they served our orders...

That place was always packed with kids.
Now THAT'S a train set!

13 hours 'til the Twilight Zone marathon begins; woot woot! cheer1
Have fun but don’t forget to eat!
Thanks! I never forget to eat, sad to say. ;) We are all stocked up on soda and popcorn, and more substantial things -- and wine, of course!
Lots of green apples when I logged in just now. Nice!
Do you see anyone you know in this footage, Barry? ;)
Yes, Kelley. I know that girl who was screaming and crying hysterically.
Did you ever date her? ;D
Yes, Kelley. I know that girl who was screaming and crying hysterically.
You’re funny, Barry!
Meant to whinge at you Moog.
The day we flew to Sydney for our cruise to NZ it was 37degC !! 25 the day before and 25 the day after, so we walked around Sydney in 37deg :o
Thanks for that roll:)
The city is a nightmare with all the tram lines going in, like a big building site.
That doesn’t sound too pleasant. Luckily I live in Canberra ;D
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.
The Queensland fires seem pretty horrific Nim. Hope you and all your family/friends are doing ok.
Rant over; sorry, I just had to get that out.
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.
Well, Kathleen, soon you'll be able to put those worries aside for a bit as you enter tHE TwiLiGHt zOnE
;)
It’s on MeTV right now. “The Printer’s Devil”.
Oh, that's one of my favorites!
I just got up and started watching...
We haven't heard from Kathleen since New Year's Eve. Maybe she's on the ninth floor.
Adrianna, Cassidy and Fawn, future Guide Dogs from Orange County, NY. Love, love, love!
Yay!!!! Gone With the Wind is being released on the big screen (nationwide, I believe, but definitely at our local theater) next weekend.
"Mr. Rhett, you is bad. Yeah, oh, Lord!"
Waa! I don’t see it on our AMC ‘s website. It’s probably coming everywhere except here in the boonies. I’ve never seen it on a big screen. But I’m glad you have it to look forward to. :)
No more mules in horse harnesses. ;)
If it's playing up here in desolate NoDak, I'm sure it must be somewhere near you within driveable distance.
It might be "hidden." My daughter couldn't find it on the AMC website for Grand Forks; it was under a section called "Fathom
Entertainment." I found it for her. If it's playing up here in desolate NoDak, I'm sure it must be somewhere near you within driveable distance. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I'd like to tour the bustling metropolis of Fargo one day.
It's not quite that bad...
No more mules in horse harnesses. ;)
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.
Margaret Mitchell didn’t but Alexandra Ripley did. It came out in 1991, was called Scarlett and it was awful.
I know. I was just teasing you a bit. ;)
I know, Barry. ;D
One of the things that made me laugh in the book, although I don't believe it was in the movie, was when Rhett suggested to Scarlett that she name her store "Caveat Emptorium," and she didn't know what it meant for a short time. ha2ha
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.
Enjoy the movie again on the big screen, Kathleen. It really is the only way to see it. ;)

Thanks; I can't wait!You gotta love that visitor from Charleston!UGH, are you referring to Ashley? He was the one character I detested. What a wimp!

UGH, are you referring to Ashley? He was the one character I detested. What a wimp!
No, Kathleen, I was referring to Rhett Butler...
<face palm> Of course! icon_redface
Now, now Katie Scarlett...I mean Miss Kathleen. Don't go feeling that way. But there, there, it will come to you this love of the movie. There's no getting away from it...
Enjoy Gone With The Wind this weekend, Kathleen!
I've never seen it
....if you're Irish. (Isn't that how the quote ends?) And I am half-Irish, LOL.
^^^^^^^
I read somehwere that at least half of those Confederate "corpses" are actually cloth dummies, because they couldn't afford so many extras.
Very moving scene.
I shouldn't be posting right now because I'm somewhat mentally challenged at the moment.
My random thought is about "Michael Jackson." I haven't seen the documentary "Leaving Neverland," but I've read about it. It seems pretty sad.
If all these allegations are true, what do we do about his amazing videos? It's so fun to watch him dance.
I don't know what to do and I'm really depressed about this.
So how did you like Gone With The Wind this time around, Kathleen?
So is his daughter.
It's best not to dwell on this, Loco.
Manhattan Melodrama Rogers and Hart 1934
That sounds like it could be my personal theme song. ha2ha
My fave soccer club is Manchester City Baz, their signature song is Blue Moon

I like the first one best too, Kelley. I would regularly watch his show as I liked looking at The Golddiggers...
I would have never guessed. :P
I just liked seeing Dean slide down the pole. ;D
I had a crush on the one with the white fringes.
The Ding A Ling Sisters were nice too.
I don't know why they were called the Ding A Ling Sisters, they just were.

I had a crush on the one in the white uniform.
Thank you, Normandie, tkitna, and Hello. I'll be all right.why did the Wilbury's break up ?

My son got a personalized letter (i.e., not just a pre-stamped flyer) package from Harvard yesterday saying they'd noted his ACT scores and GPA and inviting him to apply and visit. :) Of course, for geographical and financial reasons it's out of the question, but he was flattered and I am proud.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist sharing that. Now I'll probably trip and go sprawling down the steps when I leave the apartment, LOL.)
I agree with your dad, Kathy. Kelsie had a Presidential Scholarship, which paid half her tuition at Alfred.

My father just called and thinks he should apply and see what kind of financial aid they offer him.
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!
He's definitely not as sophisticated as most of their applicants...

Yes, I’ve noticed those great names in the past. They are all close in age to my kids, too. How can that be when I still feel like I should be in my 30’s? ;D
Time , Hurry's on, look and it's gone.
They are all close in age to my kids, too. How can that be when I still feel like I should be in my 30’s? ;D
Kathleen, you both will ultimately make up so go visit your daughter. You can watch the Twilight Zone Marathon while you're there. ;)
She's half-Irish and half Eastern European...
I believe I know exactly how you feel, Kelley! ;D
On the other hand, my kids seem to think I just sprang (sprung?) out of the ground at age 45 or something, a serious, boring old fuddy duddy. A few weeks ago my older daughter and I were discussing "Don't Stop Me Now" (Queen), and I told her it sounds exactly like a song my friends and I would dance around to while getting ready to go out to the bars, and she got insultingly hysterical. >:(
I’m sorry that happened, Kathy. It’s hard but sometimes you do have to take a stand. I guarantee, she’ll be thinking, all right.
Kids! Speaking of that song, it seems like everyone is using it for commercials lately. I don’t think it works too well for L’Oreal!
You needn't say anything more.
Have a good July Fourth Weekend, Kathleen!
My random thought tonight is actually a random question. Why does my right jaw hurt? It feels really tender at times. This started last night and it's been on and off all day today, including now.Yes there is. And he does faces.
Is there a doctor in this House of Beatlemania?

Sky Pilot is a song by Eric Burdon & The Animals...
Shhh HG. I’m listening to the crickets 4ac
But I can understand your confusion, Kelley, especially if you have to put up with people like this on a daily basis...
;D

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.
Where was America when the Dutch were fighting the Spanish in the 16th century?
Hello, everybody. I haven't posted anything in a few weeks. I haven't forgotten the forum. I just haven't felt like saying anything lately. I've been struggling with depression (as usual). I'm working on it though. Peace.
Normandie: Thanks for the support and the sharing.
Sometimes my depression virtually cripples me although I still go to my job everyday.
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.
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 Julia, its amazing how many posters have disappeared, most forums have suffered the same fate I think.
Hi Julia, its amazing how many posters have disappeared, most forums have suffered the same fate I think.
Some blame Facebook for forum demise.
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.

Our Milky Way Galaxy will collide with our neighboring Andromeda Galaxy in 2 billion years and life on earth as we know it will cease to exist.
Whew! When I read the article quickly for the first time, I thought it said 2 million years.
200 years still wouldn't get a reaction from me...now 2 years, I might begin to wonder how to respond... :)
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...

We've got a couple of billion years to invent escape rockets like Kal-El's. :)
So what your saying is we’re unlikely to get the 2 billion year anniversary deluxe Sgt Pepper set?
It might not be too late, Kathleen. Contact the owner and find out the shop's status.
It was 47 degrees on Friday in DC. My son was there with his classmates. The pictures I've seen show everyone bundled up, and all the North Dakota kids are in shirtsleeves. ha2ha

I would have thought with half the world going into self isolation, this forum would be a bit busier. If you’re at home and can’t go out it seems like the perfect time to develop ones thesis on how the Beatles music is a manifestation of String Theory or vice versa.
I think the mass hysteria is rubbing off on me. I'm going into hermit mode and I started to hoard beer. I think it might be a good time to continue the solo Beatle microscopes. Cor said he was going to do ATMP eons ago, but I think life got in the way of that so I might try to start with that one.
I'm supposed to be leaving for a European cruise tomorrow.
Ah well. Have to be careful, I'm one of the high risk group. Asthma, heart valve, and my age.

Couldnt take being locked in the house anymore. Me and the fam broke the quads out and took a ride.
Looks like you had a beautiful day like we did.
The sidewalk artists have been busy around here.
How lovely, Kelley! Children around here (perhaps nation wide, I'm not sure) have been taping up colorful hearts onto the inside of their house and apartment windows.
Around here people are putting teddy bears in their windows so kids can go an a bear hunt. I don’t have windowsills so I'm thinking about using clear packing tape to attach some to the window. Hopefully that won’t look too scary!are you gonna put some ketchup on so it looks like it's been splattered against the glass ha2ha
North Dakota has turned snowflake and now has nothing to recommend it.
Why is Donald Trump blaming everyone else but himself for mistakes that were made?
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.
Once upon a time people in Europe thought of America as brothers and allies.
The news has been so unpleasant for so long now that I was thrilled to find an article on Rod Serling: [url]https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rod-serling-the-twilight-zone-anne-serling[/url] ([url]https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/rod-serling-the-twilight-zone-anne-serling[/url])

I have been searching for the Pattie Boyd Breck girl ad but the closest thing I could find was this, from MAD Magazine in 1964. Poor Ringo!

To this day, I remember the powerful, moving column that Leonard J. Pitts Jr. wrote on 9/11. I don't agree with Pitts's politics at all, but he's smart and writes well, so fotunately I stumbled across it when I otherwise may not have. That column has stuck with me all these years, so yesterday I dug it up and sent it to my daughters (who I'm not sure appreciated it; they were 3 and 4 on 9/11).
Here's the link: [url]https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article34661703.html[/url] ([url]https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article34661703.html[/url])
Ugh. I have been so plagued by waves of sadness.
I wish I had a funny anecdote to share or a movie to suggest, but I'm drawing a blank right now.
I did think of this completely adorable video on bunny.nyc's Instagram site. I'm sure it will make you smile, at least! Be sure you have the audio enabled. Hope you like it!
Thanks, Kathy! You can’t go wrong with bunnies! I wish I was clever like these Instagramers. Molly is always doing really quirky things but I can never quite capture it on video.
Random thought/question: Should I watch the movie "Yesterday?"I didn't like it.

For a second there I thought you were quoting (paraphrasing) Queen. ;D
Kelley...I love Bach music.
Did Ringo marry his daughter ?
Was he the inspiration to a few Beatles songs
Bach in the USSR
Get Bach
I'll be Bach

No, it's only about 2 meters in diameter. That kind of asteroid just doesn't have the girth for large-scale damage.

My older daughter and I got into a heated (but ultimately civil) text exchange the other day about the upcoming election. She detests one candidate; I'm convinced the other would drag the U.S. even farther down into its cesspool. It occurred to me that, on that basis, one can't really tell which of us supports whom. ha2ha
I understand the financial reasons. But those Google Ads in the forums nowadays are really huge. Looks awful.
The news is so depressing.
America is a mess, protests everywhere, the Russians and Chinese Governments must be very happy.
Ugh; I couldn't agree more. This has been a horrible year. And "mess" is the perfect descriptor of the U.S. right now. From the comments on news sites I've read online, it doesn't look like things are going to get better anytime soon. The country seems more divided than ever.the news here in Australia is dominated by the US election.
Hardly any news about Australia, mind you, nothing much ever happens here ...Australia is very boring ha2ha

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.
Trump didn't do much to built bridges, did he?

He sure as heck tried last summer when the lefties were burning, looting, and rioting. But he was spurned by Democrat governers trying to push their own agenda.
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.

I'm swamped with work and getting ready for Christmas or I would have tracked it down.
Well, I'm back on the Forum again.
Can't believe the scenes I am seeing on the news here from Washington.
Just unreal.
The left have acted like children for 4 straight years with their Russian collusion, Mueller report, Impeachment, the rioting and burning down of cities, killings, anti police stance, storming of the Supreme Court, etc,,,,. Now that the right have taken a small page out of their own book, the left are losing their sh*t. Biggest hypocrites on the planet.

Ugh! Got to my part-time job today at the ungodly hour of 4:45 am in 22-below temps, and the guy who was supposed to let us in was LATE. >:( I hope Karma was paying attention, ha ha.Literally don't know how you even go out in such weather, I'd hibernate ;D
My eyelashes actually froze. (Then when they defrosted inside my mascara melted, and I walked around looking like a raccoon for an hour until I passed a mirror and noticed. Lovely.)
Literally don't know how you even go out in such weather, I'd hibernate ;D

And it's only going to get worse with schools shut down, Kathy.
I remember what you originally posted, Kathy. It wasn't exceedingly feminist.
I was just typing a text in response to a friend and started out with "I'm just going to focus on.. . ." Before I could finish with "the positive," the auto-complete suggested "the Beatles." ;D
Good to hear, because I'm not a big fan of feminists.
Just booked my flight to Florida for a weekend in June. :) Unfortunately, I won't be getting near a beach. But I can finally get a decent Greek salad. ha2ha
I can't wait to travel without dragging three kids along. Bliss!
Wife and I are going in August. Airline said no proof of vaccination needed,,,,,yet. Might end up having to drive.
I hope you got the "blended bifocals."
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.
That sounds exactly like something I would have done. ha2ha Well, in high school, anyway. In elementary school I was still pretty meek.
But, thinking back, Naomi had potential. She was cute with her long brown hair and dark brown eyes. And she did look rather lovely in her marshal regalia...
Editors are rarely credited, so I'm just gonna grab some . . . A book I did last summer. Put a lot of work into it.
Carol Potter played the mother (Cindy Walsh) on the original TV series Beverly Hills 90210; I was rather starstruck! She's very kind.

OK, now this is just strange. I drove by this sign today and had to take a quick picture.
Am I missing something?

I heard from my son!! Just one word, but it's a start. Since I've been so mournful about him here I had to post this.
My heart is soaring with hope. cheer1
Y'all are lucky my modem ran into trouble at my new place and I'm typing on my phone, because otherwise I'd be going on and on (and on). ;)
Very happy to hear that Normandie. :)
Hope the move went well.

This made me think of another move that didn't go so well: Our second time living in Virginia, the movers never showed. Ugh! We'd even called the Better Business Bureau to check them out before we hired them, in an attempt to make sure something like this wouldn't happen.
I was 8 months pregant with my son, and we had to sleep on the floor the first night. (You'd think my ex would've sprung for an air mattress given that I was so far along, but noooo . . . . Karma will get him someday.)
I truly hope that his acknowledgment is the start of a repaired relationship. :)
Normandie: I then ask "who created God?"
Now I think God must be a time traveler because He then would have had to go back in time and create John Lennon in order for He Himself to be created.
It seems strange now.
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.
Strange when now there's a tourist industry based on the Beatles.

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.

So, making lemonade out of lemons, or trying to, anyway:
A floppy sun hat is not only practical beachwear but, in my opinion, it makes a woman look stunning...
I’ve heard a lot in recent time that the Stanford experiment wasn’t all it’s been presented as. That the ones running it interfered so that’s it’s hard to draw conclusions from it. Interested what the facts are on it.
What a disturbing subject! The cruelty of people toward other people (and other species).
I wonder what the halfway point between "Not too stupid" and "stunning" is. . . Maybe "mediocre"? icon_cool
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?
I admit this is not much of a post but I wanted to write it anyway.
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.
Well put K. If we had a like button I would like your last 2 posts very much :)
I had to screenshot this to my daughters, even though they have yet to experience the teeth-gritting, tearing-my-hair-out loveliness of raising children and then realizing how very much you miss those days:

Just realized I left out the 0, so it should be Alt + 0151. I'm sure your mind can rest easy now, Barry. ;)
Normandie: Why isn't your Avatar showing and why is your status shown as "Guest?" You're not getting credit for your posts count as a result of this.
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.

HMS Terror ? :)
Im just watching that miniseries now !!
Im just watching that miniseries now !!
If you like the miniseries you'd probably enjoy some books about the actual expedition. Frozen in Time by Owen Beattie and Iceblink by Scott Cookman are two that spring to mind straight away.
Just watched a similar miniseries to The Terror, called The North Water. Amazing story.
. . . and for the strife. These are certainly divisive times we're living in.
Are Russians stupid or plain cowards?
We have some fruit cakes here in Australia. ha2ha
On the contrary. I have been to Russia and the people are the same as everywhere else, they are mostly very nice, welcoming and very friendly.
I guess every country has a few bad apples so to speak.

In Russia there are many stupid, many plain cowards, many nice persons... as everywhere ha2ha
Many nice people in Russia call Putin cowardly dwarf. I think so too he doesn't understand what he's doing, and I am afraid of it.
That's pretty tame compared to what I hear Americans calling Biden. ;)

Russians will be hated across Europe for decades to come.
Interesting. The world (or Europe for a start) is on fire. All the forum comes up with are a few not so funny pictures with memes.
I've seen the many marches against what the dwarf is doing Dmitry. I feel for the long suffering Russian people. And I feel deeply for the Ukrainian people.
And I have the utmost respect for Volodymyr Zelensky. Elected by the people to end corruption, he recently said that he is Russia's (meaning Putin's) #1 target and his family is the #2 target. I know exactly what he meant by that and intelligence reports have confirmed it. President Zelensky and his family are staying in Kiev and are truly brave patriots.
So have I. They are put into police trucks and driven away to who knows where...

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.

You're being too hard on yourself, Loco my friend. You have to look at it the other way around; there are too many women always competing for the same man. Once you understand and believe this, you'll feel a whole lot better.
Those were some profound thoughts about motherhood you deleted, Kathy. :(
I've never felt less like celebrating Christmas :-[

Stern flooding would cause a "reverse sinking scenario." How does he know all this stuff?
It should be a good read so you should make it a priority.
Send a copy of the book to Sam. Maybe he'll put it on his bookshelf with all his other Titanic memorabilia. :)
Pass. I'll stick with real researchers. ;)
Maybe he has room for an Ismay bobblehead somewhere. ;D
Unfortunately, all these hindsight theories will never change history. At least the Titanic tragedy changed some cruise ship regulations.
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 ([url]https://bostonfirehistory.org/the-story-of-the-cocoanut-grove-fire/[/url] ([url]https://bostonfirehistory.org/the-story-of-the-cocoanut-grove-fire/[/url])). 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.
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.
I know you know what MGY was. :)
Was the scene in A Night To Remember accurate where they switched to "a new" distress call, ie. SOS?
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"
Found my perfect album for Valentines Day
That is perfect! ;D
Hope you—and all others on the forum—had a good one.
I had a blast. . I sat at home drinking red wine and listening to Romantic Moog
How do we upload photos from our phone/comp in posts? (Apologies, I forgot!) ;sorry
Haha you couldn't make it up. These nut jobs. What next, the moon landing was real, Elvis is actually dead ?

(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.)
Kathy, here's the link to the Starry Night music box: Ercolano Music Box - Painting of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh *Limited Edition Box ([url]https://www.musicboxattic.com/ercolano-music-box-painting-of-starry-night-by-vincent-van-gogh-limited-edition-box/[/url])
Unfortunately it's currently out of stock. But call them and check on the status. It's a nice music box.
My little sweet angel dream baby apparently just scored his first job out of college. Where do the years go—and where's my wine? :'(
I remember trying to help him learn how to tie his necktie for his band concerts. I pulled up a YouTube video and we practiced but didn't have much success. Fortunately his very kind band director tied it for him that first time and showed him how to do it. Thank you, Mr. Tafelmeyer! I think some people don't realize exactly how much of an impact their seemingly "small" acts of kindness have.

I defy any parent to listen to it and not choke up at least a little.
Oh, my, Moogmodule, that is a tearjerker par excellence. I have tears streaming down my face. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing that.
It’s scary where the time goes. I was reacquainting my self with Chris de Burghs work (my first girlfriend introduced my to Spanish Train and Other Stories so I’ve always had a soft spot). I found this in one of his later albums. I defy any parent to listen to it and not choke up at least a little.

It brought back memories of us going away on holiday, we knew our youngest son was soon moving out but when we got back he'd actually gone. I remember how sad I felt walking into his empty room. All those years of growing up, now over :(

Wow yeah, a tear jerker.
