Yes,True.  :)

Hmmmmm....

According to Humpty Dumpty in "Alice Thru the Looking Glass", we have 1 birthday per year.
That leaves 364 un-birthday days in the year.

Potentially, you would get an "Un-Birthday" present, n'est-ce pas?

1. My knee is okay and I don't need surgery.

2. A friend's son, who was accused of a violent crime that he did not commit, found out today that all charges have been dropped and his record is cleared!

3. A friend who has been a single mom w/ two young boys called to say she just got engaged to a great guy who is moving from Texas to Colorado to be with her and her kids (so that the kids can still be near their dad).

4. A friend who has had many financial and personal difficulties just got a new job that pays well and has flexible hours so she can take care of her child's special needs.

GREAT DAY. :)

:O Exciting! Kindergarten is the best grade...

Perhaps because I went to two different schools in kindergarten to keep things interesting.

My daughter is sure to have a better time at it than I did.

Her social skills are far more advanced than mine were at her age, and she's as smart as I was!

(I have always been more intelligent than the majority of those around me...perhaps that's why my social skills were so stunted- I thiank God she doesn't have that!)

Someone who plays a piano loudly and with force, I would say.

A guy who comes into our store (a piano store) and pounds away on one of the big grand pianos for two hours.  I wrote about him in the "what are you sick of" thread.

Why was he pounding on it? That's not how you play it. ::)

If someone tells you you're "pounding" on the keys, it means you're playing with force.  Jerry Lee Lewis did it, Little Richard does it.....it's just an emphatic way of playing the piano.

Hmmm.. maybe you're right. I suppose you could pound on the keys without being too rough.

You give a performance, your Nemesis demands a 2nd song to perform, and they STILL can't catch you?

You get the chance to take a nap stretched out under a blanket, under the nicest tree you can find?

When this board suddenly gets busier again

You get a really good night's sleep (aaahhhh).

It turns out that you're right about something ppl have told you you're wrong about for years...

You find some cute necklaces on sale?

Someone you thought was dead for years turns out to be alive, after all?

...everything is coming up roses!

You have the satisfaction of rubbing someone's nose in the fact that they are not half the performer you are acknowledged to be?

You've reorganized your deskspace and now your room is much more tidy? 

You can drink a tall pitcher of cranberry juice?

........you finally find the remote control to your fan?

You finally get in touch with an important official for a large music corporation?

something happens that tells you "somebody up there likes me"

Saturday night at my karaoke gig should have been billed "'80s Night"!

My specialty is late '70s-mid '80s rock.

"Jessie's Girl" was done twice.
Other 1980s Classics done that night include:

"Down Under" and "Overkill"- Men At Work
"867-5309/Jenny"- Tommy Tutone
"Goody Two-Shoes"- Adam & The ants
"Turning Japanese"- The Vapors
"Burning Down the House"- Talking Heads
"Centerfold"- The J. Geils Band
"White Wedding"- Billy Idol
"You Got Another Thing Coming"- Judas Priest

There were several more, but that's the general flavor.

That's some good tunes there. All really capture the era.


Part of my reputation as a DK has been built on the fact that I have one of the most well-rounded playlists in NoCal.

I have some of the more obscure songs that people haven't heard in years!

Examples include:
-"In A Big Country": Big Country
-"It's A Mistake": Men At Work
-"Rainbow In the Dark": Dio
-any song from "Rocky Horror" other than "Time Warp" (I have 4)
-"@$$hole"- Denis Leary
-"Talk To Ya Later": The Tubes

It doesn't get cold enough in Georgia during the winter to warrant the wearing of heavy coats.  It might get down into the 30s, but if you have a sweater on and then a hoodie, you'll be fine.  I think I've worn my winter coat 4 times since we moved down here 5 years ago.
