The word for Thursday, May 21, SPIRIT

Although this appears to be a good tip for those who have pools that need cleaning, would ya look at the digs of this YouTube content provider! Dang! Apparently when you have 1.18M plus subscribers, it enables you to have nice things.

Who would ever have guessed that you are/were a skilled clacker? What’s the purpose of thrill of the clacker? It’s not an instrument, is it considered a toy?

Regarding the mosquito truck and them spraying DDT, I’m so sorry that you seem to have a firsthand account of them.

To preserve evidence ?

When you post a link, do you click on it or even glance at it to see whether it looks okay? Just an f.y.i., the link you furnished doesn’t work and I suspect it’s because of the **** in the link.

Yes, I enjoy viewing YouTube and and yes, I’m drawn to crime and the police vest cam videos. Yesterday I caught a couple of police videos, and the thing that caught my attention was in two videos when the police took the person into custody, they made it a point to take their phone and switch them into airplane mode. What exactly is airplane mode designed to do in the above scenario?

And I crawled right out there

Great tune!

Walter Egan, MAGNET AND STEEL

Now I told you, so you ought to know
It takes some time for our feelings to grow
You're so close now, I can't let you go
And I can't let go

(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL

I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
You're a woman who's lost to your song
But the love that I feel is so strong
It can't be wrong

(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL

(With you I'm not shy) To show the way I feel
(With you I might try) My secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL
You are a magnet, and I am STEEL

I am STEEL...

The word for Tuesday, May 19, STEEL

Back in the day you drank down 4 raw eggs in a glass? Nope. Nope. NOPE!! My guess is that I would yak it up straight away!

The word for Monday, May 18, SOON

Oh my goodness! One dozen glazed donuts dipped in milk…… that’s a lotta donuts regardless of whether you were sharing them with Snickers!

You “dump off the girls” and eat what you want because no one else is home…… You’re so silly! You have posted several times that Marcy is a good cook and feeds you well, so on days when you’re home alone, what kind of food would you be inclined to prepare for yourself?

Nope. Nope. NOPE!!

I don’t prefer potato skins however I will eat them from time to time. The “snotty eggs”? Hell NO! No can do!

Fresh diced garlic fried with hand cut french fries, sounds darn good!

So that’s why we don’t see you as much as we did before, you and Snickers are sitting in front of the TV. I’m actually happy for you that you’re enjoying retirement!

Vanilla Fudge, YOU KEEP ME HANGIN’ ON

Set me free, why don't you BABE?
Get out my life, why don't you BABE?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on

Why do you keep coming around, playing with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life and let me try to make a new start?
Let me get over you the way you've gotten over me

Set me free, why don't you BABE?
Get out my life, why don't now?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on

You said when we broke up, you just want to be friends
But how can we still be friends when seeing you just breaks my heart again
There ain't nothing I can do about it

You know I need love
Set me free, why don't you BABE?
Talkin' 'bout love
Set me free, why don't you BABE?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on

Get out my life, why don't you BABE?
Get out my life, why don't you BABE?
Get out my life, why don't you BABE?
Get out my life, why don't you BABE ?

Sonny & Cher, I GOT YOU BABE

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we're grown
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you

BABE
I got you BABE
I got you BABE

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned,
Our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure
Of all the things we got

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

Don't let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care,
With you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain
We can't climb

Babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you, I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe
I got you babe

Him dropping out of touch with everyone, just like Dev01 is so strange…..

According to his profile, +_dem[o]nXer_+ was online 14 days ago, making the date being May 1st or 2nd. Does anyone hear from him, does he reach out to anyone when he “pops in”?

Queen, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime

And bad mistakes‒
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

And I need to go on and on, and on, and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me FAME and fortune, and everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And I need just go on and on, and on, and on

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions

The Beatles, OCTOPUS’S GARDEN

I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's GARDEN in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus's GARDEN in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus's GARDEN with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's GARDEN in the shade

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus's GARDEN near a cave

We would sing and dance around
Because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's GARDEN in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus's GARDEN with you
In an octopus's GARDEN with you
In an octopus's GARDEN with you

Thank you, why didn’t I think of that!?

Actually, the already peeled garlic cloves looked much bigger than anything I’ve ever had on any bulb I’ve purchased. But I’ve always grabbed a smaller bulb because I don’t use it quick enough. Bottom line, I’m glad to know that garlic can be put in the freezer.

Here’s a question for those that cook, have you purchased and used the garlic that is peeled and packaged? I really do not like jarlic, that crap that is sold on the grocer’s shelf and labeled claiming that it’s minced garlic in olive oil.

The problem I have is that I buy a bulb of garlic and use a clove or four for whatever I’m making and keep the rest on my counter, out of the sun. When I decide to use it again, I don’t think that it has the same punch that it originally had. Here’s where a YouTuber’s assertion comes into my mind. I see this short video asserting that the peeled and packaged cloves can kept longer by freezing them. She says they can quickly be defrosted and crushed or minced which renders better results versus the jarlic.

Nice choice!

Fireball, YOU ARE THE WOMAN

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much the things you say to me
It's not the things you do
It's how I feel each time you're close to me
That keeps me close to you, whoa oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the CLOTHES you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there, whoa oh whoa

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feeling
That's just not my style
You've got a way to send my senses reeling
Every time you smile, whoa oh

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

Of my heart
Oh oh of my heart

Todd Rundgren, HELLO ITS ME

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a REASON to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me

Is it strictly an alarm clock? For me, having electric operated clocks are just a pain in the butt….. there’s daylight savings time when we SPRING forward and FALL back and let’s not forget the occasional power surges that cause electric appliances to blink out if only for a moment. Yep, then all those darn clocks need to be reset so why even include an obsolete alarm clock in the mix? I use my phone. Heck, I just realized that if I rest my phone on its edge and sit it down going east and west, it transforms into what looks like a stand alone clock!

Dude, that’s not just an alarm clock, that is a CLOCK RADIO! And that clock radio has both AM and FM frequencies! Woo hoo! There was no talking to me when I received my first AM/FM clock radio and because I was the older one that had to share the bedroom with the younger sister (she is younger by 20 months), I picked the radio station we woke up to! Woo hoo! The perks of being the older sister!

Just curious, what does families that shower together have to do with red dye and mercury thermometers?

Blind Faith/Steve Winwood, CANT FIND MY WAY HOME

only registered users can see external links

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the REASON I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own and leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the REASON I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key

But I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still I can't find my way home
And I ain't done nothing wrong
But I can't find my way home

Little Richard, GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY

Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.

FROM the early early mornin' till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.

Well, now momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch your step."
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.

I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.

Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball.

I’m not sure I understand the relevancy of Mr Talarico and being a real Christian

America, TIN MAN

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves
Some are quick to take the bait
And catch the perfect PRIZE that waits among the shelves

But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad.

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me
When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round
Smoke glass stain bright color
Image going down, down, down, down
Soapsuds green like bubbles

No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn't, didn't already have
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad

So please believe in me

I don’t know, I guess the 10 reasons offered that ruin a man’s image seem reasonable and legitimate to me.

Good to see you, friend!

$ 5.40 plus per gallon!? Yikes!

The word for Monday, May 11, PRIZE

Supertramp, GOODBYE STRANGER

only registered users can see external links

Was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle, like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover, and I must be moving on
Yeah yeah

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor, like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining, shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you'll find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane
Will we ever meet again?
Feel no SORRY, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?)
And land and the ocean (Feel no SORROW), far away (Feel no shame)
The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain)
So goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?)

Now, some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
You can laugh at my behaviour, that'll never bother me
Say, the devil is my saviour, but I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining, shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me, my troubles will be few

Goodbye stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye, Mary, goodbye, Jane
Will we ever meet again?
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Sweet devotion (Goodbye, Mary), it's not for me (Goodbye, Jane)
Just give me motion (Will we ever) and set me free (Meet again?)
And land and the ocean (Feel no SORROW), far away (Feel no shame)
The life I've chosen (Come tomorrow), every day (Feel no pain)
And now I'm leaving (Goodbye, Mary), got to go (Goodbye, Jane)
Hit the road (Will we ever), I say it once again (Meet again?)
Oh yes, I'm leaving (Feel no SORROW), got to go (Feel no shame)
Got to go (Come tomorrow), I'm sorry I must tell you (Feel no pain)
Goodbye, Mary (Goodbye, Mary), goodbye, Jane (Goodbye, Jane)
Will we ever (Will we ever) meet again? (Meet again?)

Go and believe it

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your SORROW shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my SORROW
When I had you there, but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give anymore

Well, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your SORROW shows
Yes, it shows

I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
If living is without you

Country Radio, GYPSY QUEEN

Rising moon and silver road behind me
And I do believe the sky's about to fall
Going where I know they'll never find me,
Oh, my sorrows, gonna try to lose them all

[chorus:]
Gonna find the gypsy QUEEN,
Show me things I've never seen,
Don't cry mama for the things I've done,
Mama don't you cry for me.
I'm singing for the dark and lonely highway,
I'm singing for the rivers and the sea,
I'm singing for the country roads and byways,
And I wonder as I go
Is there anyone alone
To sing for me?

Going home ain't quite as fine as leaving,
Together ain't as fine as on your own,
Wishing can never be believing,
Please believe in me when I'm gone.

[chorus:]
Gonna find the gypsy QUEEN,
Show me things I've never seen,
Don't cry mama for the things I've done,
Mama don't you cry for me.
I'm singing for the dark and lonely highway,
I'm singing for the rivers and the sea,
I'm singing for the country roads and byways,
And I wonder as I go
Is there anyone alone
To sing for me?
