The word for Monday, February 9, SQUARE

Steve Winwood, HIGHER LOVE

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To CHEER the night along
Bring it... Oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Andthisisme beat you you to it!

😘

The Searchers, LOVE POTION NO. 9

I took my troubles down to Madame Rue
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She's got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin' little BOTTLES of Love Potion No. 9

I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I've been this way since 1956
She looked at my palm, and she made a magic sign
She said, what you need is Love Potion No. 9

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed that cop down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little BOTTLE of Love Potion No. 9

I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed that cop down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little BOTTLE of Love Potion No. 9

Love Potion No. 9
Love Potion No. 9
Love Potion No. 9

That was the song that was my choice!

Nice choice!

YOU never disappoint!

I agree, well played!

If I read your post correctly, you’ve speaking about contractors who get what you feel is a substandard house built in a short period of time by, as you point out, Mexicans. Hmmmm…….so what race and or ethnicity is the architects and who is the contractor, plumbers and electricians? Just curious.

Hey, my friend, please explain to this knucklehead why you’re heating the basement. Thank you!

The word for Thursday, January 29, YOU’RE

Lou Reed, WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
Said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."

Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darling
But she never lost her head
Even when she was giving head
She says, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
And the colored girls go
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place
Where they said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
I said, "Hey, Joe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."

Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Looking for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should've seen them go, go, go
They said, "Hey, sugar,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
I said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that bash
Said, "Hey, babe,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
I said, "Hey, honey,
Take a walk on the wild SIDE."
And the colored girls say,
"Doo do doo do doo do do doo..."

Matchbox Twenty, PUSH

(She said) I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don't know if I've ever been really loved
By a hand that's touched me, well I feel like something's
Gonna give
And I'm a little bit angry, well

This ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don't owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

I wanna PUSH you around, I will, I will
I wanna PUSH you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will

(She said) I don't know why you ever would lie to me
Like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
You couldn't stand to be near me
When my face don't seem to want to shine
'Cause it's a little bit dirty, well

Don't just stand there, say nice things to me
'Cause I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
You don't know me, well I can't change
I won't do anything at all

I wanna PUSH you around, I will, I will
I wanna PUSH you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will

Oh but don't bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby

I wanna PUSH you around, I will, I will
I wanna PUSH you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will

I hear ya! I hate to admit it, when the beer is icy cold, I will GUZZLE that first one down but have to be more careful and ladylike with the second because two is my limit! 😁

NYC snowstorm 2026. I’m happy to be in Florida!

My guess is that you’re absolutely correct about that! The only thing is, that’s a venture for someone who knows what they’re doing!

Three of the “strangest” things found in used cars. Maybe I should consider buying a used car….

A new word, eh? “Walmartian”, now that’s funny!

I’ve always labeled myself as a “cheap date”….. I’m a cheap date because I limit myself to 2 beers. Seriously, 2 beers and I am “loopy”. I’ve loved the taste of beer ever since I was a young girl. A hundred years ago I recall my Pops enjoying a cold beer on a hot Saturday afternoon after he mowed the lawn. The glass was icy cold and contained this golden liquid with a frothy head. Sometimes I would ask for a taste and from time to time he indulge me. Pure YUM! On my river cruise in Europe, while in Germany I was excited to try their beer….. oh my goodness, they serve beer chilled to 38 to 40 degrees F. Yuck!

I understand why I get loopy on 2 beers, it’s because I enjoy the taste and when it’s icy cold, it goes down so easily. There’s no “nursing” beer for me, no siree Bob! And I do prefer to drink Michelob Ultra for the same reason Cody8789 likes to drink Bud Light, less carbs, less calories.

Rod Stewart, REASON TO BELIEVE

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

SOMEONE like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
SOMEONE like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true

SOMEONE like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself

Makes it hard to live without somebody else

Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself, woo
SOMEONE like you
Makes it hard to live without somebody else
SOMEONE like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself, whoa

Makes it hard to live without somebody else

The content provider is Funny Junk and I think he/she comes by the name honestly! I especially thought the second and third piece in this vignette were funny. After reading a number of the comments, many folks felt that the cat clip was AI. If, by chance it is not AI, I had no idea that cats had that kind of depth perception.

As I said before, technology is great until it ain’t. Apparently Waymo, the autonomous vehicle has had “hiccups”. Would you like to be a captive passenger when technology goes on the fritz?

Nice choice! This was the first tune that popped into my head!

Great tune! 👍🏻

I ❤️this tune!

You were 8 minutes ahead of me….

This was my response to a member who personally reached out to me;

“I have been in and out over the last month, (mid December) give or take…. I’ve been super busy with 2 single ladies from my community. One is 87 and has memory issues coupled with hearing and vision problems (macular degeneration). The other is her 73 year old companion of almost 30 years who had a TIA prior to Christmas and at a time when her daughter had a planned vacation to Africa. As you may expect, she’s not as “sharp” as she was prior to the TIA. After the daughter returned from Africa, she promised to make arrangements to get them into an assisted living/memory care facility, which she has, and things have all come together. The daughter will be here on Friday, the 23, and (the girls) out of the community on Sunday. The plan is that they have a hotel room in Ft Myers on Sunday night with the flight out (back to Minnesota) at 6a Monday morning. Yes, I’ve been busy, busy, busy but that’s all on me because I wanted the daughter to be able to enjoy the vacation with her husband, 2 college age children and the 2 HS children and I said I could and would help.“

Also, I left Michigan for Florida early because I received word that my now 105 year old friend from church was not “doing well”. I visit her a least once every week making some type of food for her/the family (her daughter, son-in-law, grandson and part-time caregiver). As life happens, Miss Amy celebrated her 105th birthday on 12/31 while her 80 something year old son-in-law made plans to transition his wife, her daughter into hospice. Sadly, her 82 year old daughter died the next day at approximately 4:30p on 01/01/2026.

Whew! That’s good to hear that your dog recognizes you by sight, I guess I thought that they did. The video really surprised me. My cat realizes when I pull into the driveway because he meets me at the door. I’m not sure if he’s happy to see me or if he’s looking for “the opportunity” to bolt outside!

When you referred to Bud Light as being a cheap imitation, do I understand you to mean that you feel it is an inferior imitation? I was not aware that Bud Light was priced less than regular Budweiser.

What a nice “human interest” story, thank you for sharing!

The word for Tuesday, January 20, COULD

As you probably guessed, there’s a generational age gap between you and I so I really don’t “understand” the interest and excitement that anime brings to so many young people. In my little town in Michigan, the local library has created an anime club that’s well attended.

My guess is that the characters that you are obsessed with are much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (in a very vague way) in that they have some specific “power” to which a storyline is developed.

Perhaps you could post a link to Temari and Momo so that I/we can understand what makes them so crush worthy.

Do you have an anime crush? If you do, don’t hesitate to share that with us!

Janis Joplin, MERCEDES BENZ

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won't you BUYU me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So oh Lord, won't you BUY me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a night on the town?
Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So oh Lord, won't you BUY me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!

Oh, so you didn’t boycott Bud Light after the “incident” featuring Dylan Mulvaney?
