P.S. I love your site. I just started blogging last month; Cheaper than therapy...I just wanted you to know I borrowed some ideas, not words, i.e. the h.i.p.p.a. statement. Ha! Gotta love it. I would love to know how you got the whole page on your blog and not just the center portion. Thanks :)
I'd like to say I barely remember this song, but that would be a flat-out lie. There used to be a radio program here on Friday nights--the programming was a variation of the "B" side idea. They played the songs on the albums that came right after the popular radio-played song of Led Zeppelin, Carly Simon, Eagles,etc. Songs you haven't thought of forever and wind up singing all the words. *Bette's Bags--you're welcome. I promise not to post the truly insidious ones like Steve Martin's "King Tut." Well, that one I might...:>) *Southern Drawl--welcome and thank you. Don't know if this helps, but if you click on CUSTOMIZE on your blogsite, and then on the far right tab, PICK NEW TEMPLATE, on the second row there is a template called MINIMA LEFT STRETCH and it has a couple of different options. As far as borrowing, I believe in the nursing biz we call that reallocation of resources:>) Borrow away, and enjoy!
"Some people love waking to the sight of new snow. Fallen snow is fine, but I like the sight of it falling, fine as dust or so fat you can hear it land against the kitchen window. I like the tunnel of dry snow you drive through at night, the headlights blanking out a few yards ahead, and the feeling that you're driving into some abysmal vacuum. I like the ground-blizzards and the snow that slithers down the road ahead of you. What I like is the visual impairment snow brings with it, the way it obscures some things and defines others, like the wind." - ---Verlyn Klinkenborg from The Rural Life
I was not raised Catholic. My family attended and had been lectured to in Presbytarian churches and for a short time, Unitarian, but I converted while in college once I started going to the old St. George's with my dorm roommate. It fit me like a glove and I felt at home there despite my ignorance of the exotic rituals and prayers everyone else knew by heart. When I say that I am Catholic I say it with the caveat that I am an American Catholic , which is to say I do not agree with everything that comes out of the Vatican. Sorry. I have no issue with homosexuality. Love is love, and people are lucky and blessed to find it wherever they find it. I believe that priests should be allowed to marry and that women should be accorded more prominent positions within the church structure. There's more, but let's just leave it that I realize the Pope is not doing a little jig everytime I open my mouth and declare I'm Catholic. For the totter to that teeter though, I've been t...
Game imported from Sweet Annie at Blissful Bohemian . Name ten things you love that begin with a specific letter. In my case, the letter E. So here goes: 1. Well, first of all there's elephants . Who doesn't love those cute little faces?? And what's not to love? Elephants are actually a lot like humans. They laugh and cry. They grieve over their dead. They play games with each other and have fantastic memories so they can even remember the rules and not go to bed mad. 2. Then there's Engelbert Humperdinck, who I don't actually love and his singing's just on this side of okay, but I do love his name. 3. I luuuuuuv eggs , deviled. Nothing fancy, just classic.
