I'm pretty sure it's a Frankie Valli tune, but the title evades me.

When the rain is blowing in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace

Bungalow Bill?

December, 1963 The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call Gitchigumi.

Three ministers were discussing how they used the weekly offering: Rev#1: I draw a big circle on the floor and toss the money high into the air. Whatever lands inside the circle, I give to the Lord. Whatever lands outside is my salary. Rev#2: I draw a big circle on the floor and toss the money high into the air. Whatever lands outside the circle, I give to the Lord. Whatever lands inside is my salary. Rev#3: I draw a big circle on the floor and toss the money high into the air. If the Lord wants any of it He can grab it while it's up there.

And then there is grammar to consider. HEH!

This is why I've gone from a stance of NEVER privately interpreting to recognizing that private interpretation may be the essence of communication. You can't simply learn a bunch of words in another language and think you are qualified to communicate that language properly. Communicating involves so much more than words. It's knowing how to use them, when to use them, where to use them, how to pronounce them etc. Shakespeare offers great examples. A passage I once thought I understood may have a completely different twist when understood in light of what the author was communicating. (Hour to hour becomes whore to whore.) Try THIS on for fun.

Is this, perhaps, the basis of the "used before" concept?

Might that be the reason for her omission?

Hmmmm-Which church? Is that what it says in the context? Do I need the church to tell me what "Thou shalt not steal." means? I'm inclined to agree with what WordWolf said about referencing the origin. When you read it in context, that's the implication that unfolds.

No Donovan fans here? It's Catch The Wind. FREE POST!

No sunshine, but another element of nature is involved.

In the chilly hours and minutes Of uncertainty, I want to be In the warm hold of your loving mind.

Sadly, there is quite a lengthy list of posters who will never post here or anywhere else again. Missed, but not forgotten. Life can be rather cruel at times. Enjoy life while you still can and celebrate each new day.

You got me on this one. No idea.

Uncle Harry wasn't really my uncle. Mum's the word.

Are you saying this post has you whipped?

When Will I be Loved... Linda Ronstadt's version I personally prefer the Everly Brothers version. It's more of a shuffle and has a slightly different vocal phrasing.

It sure is!

There is a listing of moderators some place. I'm not sure where. I know you may think no one believes these "things" Nathan Jr. posts. There are people who do and therein lies the irony. Curb stomp, you say? If, by that, you mean having to be reminded to play nice over and over, I guess you win. Claudette had some medical difficulties that prompted her to retire from her singing career. You can find YouTube offerings of more current Way Production endeavours if you're brave enough to go that route.

I don't decide anything at all. I am not and have never been a moderator. The rules are listed on the front page. (Well, they used to be. I haven't checked lately.) Anyway, we don't discuss politics or conspiracy theories, as many of those spill over into the political arena.

But only if they fit like a hand in an oven mitt.

I would say the "whenever" part is where discretion becomes a consideration.

Of course you can respond. Do it in a way that doesn't involve politics or conspiracy theories.
