Are you certain that that is Mel B because it doesn’t look like her? Besides, the video says Melanie C., aka Sporty Spice.

Gee, in Michigan we only get a 3% “convenience charge” for using our credit card!

Kelly Clarkson, SINCE U BEEN GONE

Here's the thing: we started out friends
It was cool but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been GONE

You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long 'til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been GONE

And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you've been GONE
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get what I want
Since you've been GONE

How can I put it? You put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah
Since you've been GONE

How come I'd never hear you say,
"I just wanna be with you."
I guess you never felt that way

But since you've been GONE
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you
Now I get (I get) what I want
Since you've been GONE

You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again, and again, and again

Since you've been GONE
(Since you've been GONE)
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get, I get what I want

I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on
Yeah, yeah
Thanks to you (thanks to you)
Now I get (I get)
You should know (you should know)
That I get, I get what I want
Since you've been GONE
Since you've been GONE
Since you've been GONE

I recall my first trip to Europe and being in complete AWE of their streets and structures. There were cobbled roads that led to a castle in Germany that I suspect were once and still are well traveled. Hundreds of years later, these roads are still very much intact!

I am NOT well traveled however I would tend to say that Michigan’s roadways are the pits!

When you’re relaxing on your porch or wandering around your property, don’t forget to apply Bear-B-Gone.

Regarding the bear, yeah, looking at the video again, you’re probably correct. But ask yourself this, what does it take for a bear to flip from “curious” to “attack”? My opinion, if it were me…..that bear was too close for comfort!

For goodness sake, you live on a mountain….. I would venture to say that there is all sorts of wildlife roaming around! Make a mental note to yourself that there will be no snoozing on the porch!

This is funnier than all get out! Is this thing even “road worthy” and will it withstand the elements? The darn thing looks like it’s made from cardboard but logically, I know it can’t be.

This morning I’m heading out to Florida and my “plan” was to leave when I woke up. I’ve been awake for about 30 minutes, or so, but my plan seems to not be working…. I think I’m gonna wait until 7:30 or 8 o’clock when it’s light out……

Oh, dgraff!

Unless there is some “hocus pocus” going on, it is amazing that it’s possible to take however many lengths of wood and without any nails or glue, construct a freestanding bridge or stairs that can bear weight!

Physics! How amazing!

I ❤️ this tune!

🎶 I've got my head out the window
And my big feet on the ground…..🎵

Elton John, TINY DANCER

Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a BUSY day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a BUSY day today

Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a BUSY day today

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a BUSY day today
Ooh

The word for Monday, October 6, BUSY

Hey, phart, “are you getting any?”

I am not familiar with this, is this something that you follow?

Are you invited to a Halloween party and expected to come in a costume? No problem! You’re just a garbage bag away from being something an ostrich! Check it out, the exposed arm and hand are the neck and face and the rest of you is covered by the plastic bag! My opinion, super creative!

Supertramp, GOODBYE STRANGER

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 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)
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

Toto, AFRICA

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
I bless the RAINS down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The Temptations, I WISH IT WOULD RAIN

Hmmm
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away.
My girl has found another and gone away.
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom.
So day after day, I stayed locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange.
But I wish it would RAIN. (How I wish that it would RAIN)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly I wanna go outside. (Such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't suppose to cry, listen.
I gotta cry 'cause cryin' eases the pain, oh yeah.
People this hurt I feel inside, words can never explain.
I just wish it would RAIN. (Oh, how I wish that it would RAIN)

Oh, let it rain.
RAIN , RAIN , RAIN (Oh, how I wish that it would RAIN )
Ooo, baby. Let it RAIN.
(Let it RAIN) Oh yeah, let it RAIN.

[Instrumental]

Day in, day out, my tear stained face
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies, desperately for RAIN.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know.
That I'm cryin'... cryin' when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain.
Oh, I wish it would RAIN . (Oh, how I wish that it would RAIN)
Ooo, baby.

Let it RAIN, let it RAIN.
I need RAIN to disguise the tears in my eyes.
Oh, let it RAIN.
Oh, yeah, yeah listen.
I'm a man and I got my pride.
Give me RAIN or I'm gonna stay inside.
Let it RAIN.

(Let it RAIN)
(Let it (RAIN) (RAIN) (RAIN) RAIN, RAIN )

This is funny, enjoy!

The word for Thursday, October 2, BELIEVE

Hey, this is the second song that I thought of!! Don’t hate me because this television marketing jingle occupies space in my head!


TOYS R US KID

I don't want to GROW up, I'm a Toys R Us kid
They got a million toys at Toys R Us that I can play with
I don't wanna GROW up, I'm a Toys R Us kid
They got the best for so much less, it'll really flip your lid
From bikes to trains to video games
It's the biggest toy store there is (gee whiz!)
I don't wanna GROW up, cause baby if I did
I couldn't be a Toys R Us kid
More games, more toys, oh boy!
I wanna be a Toys R Us kid

Would you believe that that is the song that immediately popped into my head!?

Is there a reason that you are staying away from the Forum?

Quit sucking up to Cody, dgraff, your ass is grass and I am the mower!

Thanks for validating!

Are you able to determine who’s who by viewing their rear end?

Thank you. It’s nice to know who I need to be angry with!


DARN YOU dgraff!

And in Michigan……

Man is charged with making AI porn threats!

Our world is messed up!

Why would you want to [-] or [+] a post made? Because you may want to show the poster that support their thought and/or idea without verbalizing, that’s why! I’m not going to divulge the name(s) of the member(s) that I notice do use this feature HOWEVER I will share one name and hope that he understands and “forgives” me……. BirdDog

Why does he use it? I don’t know and I haven’t asked him. Perhaps he doesn’t want to get caught up in the BS that is often associated with or aired in the Forum but it is appreciated when I see that he weighs in on certain matters! Here’s a question for you, why do YOU feel that it’s necessary to respond to every post or poster that you agree or disagree with? Why not just hit [-] and LET IT GO?

I would agree that not many members use the feature however there are members that feel more comfortable using that method rather than making an actual post.

Unfortunately, rather than implementing a notification message, the entire [+] or [-] system was removed and that is regrettable.

Regardless, thank you for your consideration in this matter.

A short video/joke. Enjoy!

Your last sentence was rhetorical, right? “Who sues over something so fucking stupid??”

The answer is; someone so fucking stupid and their fucking stupid attorney, that’s who!!

Did you happen to listen to the short video that was contained in the article? Climate change will probably cost the price of chocolate candy to increase.

It’s only 8:50 pm, aka 20:50, and I’m taking two Benadryl and going to bed


The word for Thursday, September 25, CARD

I love, love, love old cars that have been restored.

I went to a local car show several weeks ago and there were some beauties! There were some new cars, too. Somebody had a new Corvette on display and if I’m not mistaken, the Vette looks like it was sporting a small “trunk”’area. I guess it is no different than mine but area was an open area directly behind the seat which could hold both top panels (I had a T-top) and I can’t remember if there were 2 or 3 compartments, again, directly behind the seats, one held the battery and the other was like a “glove box”….

They don’t make cars the way they used to! And I do believe that is a Corvair in front of the Impala, yes?

I have ALWAYS been interested in cars! Back in the day, you know, a hundred years ago, when me and my girls would go “cruisin’ “ on the weekend looking for trouble and boys, I was able to identify cars. You know, so-and-so drove a black 442 or that so-and-so drove a dark green Chevy Nova…… BOOM! I was locked in!

A “Continental kit”? Is that the encased wheel shown on the back?

Look at this behemoth, ISNT SHE LOVELY!

Good morning, good afternoon, good day admin!

I wonder if it is possible to notify members that their Forum post received a [+] or [-]?

My guess is that if it is possible that it could be incorporated and rolled into a notification similar to that received by a GROUP moderator who receives notifications of a new member joining and/or new post made within said group.
