  1. I listened to that one called Driftin Blues that you could access from the bottom at the end and loved it, did you watch that one?
  2. I meant he was up many an hour due to his own mind. I read years ago that his own imagination scared him so badly he couldn't sleep. I loved that show and wish they had reruns of it.
  3. Sudo, No way, you mean that was Nat King Cole, gosh he must have been a kid when he sang that. Your picture has one that was watched after when he was walking down the sidewalk because a car was coming around the curb. The clue you gave kept a man up many an hour due to his own mind. Fun!
  4. I know that song has been sung by a few folks including Nat King Cole and Van Morrison but I can't place that voice. Today one of my coworkers said she wanted to go back to the 60's and probably shouldn't say it out loud but she was thankful she wouldn't be around in 30 years to see how tragic things have become based on how they are today. So that prompted a conversation where the younger ones in the group said the world has always been like this but there wasn't the internet to publicize it like today. Us older ones held out that was a pie in the sky view and things are without question getting worse than they were when we were children. And so this subject of nostalgia for some is a way of keeping yourself sane in some ways.
  5. I don't know if this will show, it doesn't here.
  6. Should I admit that watching Golden Girls makes me relax? :)

    Up, Up & Away!

    I meant to go outside and look for it but I was so busy I dadgum forgot.
  8. My son is still safe and has not suffered loss. He said being there and not knowing when it will end with all that has been lost so far is so helpless it makes it hard to function. My prayers continue for all that are dealing with this horrible disaster.
  9. Bless your heart dear. It ain't like you don't have a family that you care for and an assortment of other things. Bravo!
  10. Nostalgia I think: Black and White (Under age 40? You won't understand.) You could hardly see for all the snow. Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go. Pull a chair up to the TV set, 'Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.' My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in icepack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then. The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system. We all took gym, not PE.. and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. Flunking gym was not an option... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym. Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself. I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations. Oh yeah.... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and then we got butt spanked again when we got home. I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck. To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that? We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive? LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T- SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING

    He could keep a woman on a deserted island having only a CD player and his CD's content. Well I reckon she would need a lifetime supply of batteries or electricity as well. :) (((((Belle)))))

  16. Both Sudo and Rick know things a hundred times better than I do but if I can be of help I certainly am willing. I can just imagine the things you have with your history.
  17. So tell me anyway, did ya like the movie? :P
  18. I realize that Sudo puts a great deal of work into his links quite often. I don't know how to do the stuff to produce a clip from a movie and yet I know the work involved to post some things. And for that reason I can understand the disappointment felt. Yet our choice of words offer something to the conversation and I thought to state George and I as unfortunate to be not easily entreated by me. But I still dig ya Sudo.
  19. Sudo, Since it was unfortunate for the thread that I knew the singer then please do another clue and I will refrain from posting.
