    @ This must be the place
    I found a log cabin home and an A frame house that are awesome. Now I just need someone to put a contract on mine. Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's ok I know nothing's wrong... nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight... say good night Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings I guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time Before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be... where I'll be Hi yo We drift in and out Hi yo Sing into my mouth Out of all those kinds of people You got a face with a view I'm just an animal looking for a home and, Share the same space for a minute or two And you love me till my heart stops Love me till I'm dead Eyes that light up, eyes look through you Cover up the blank spots Hit me on the head Ah ooh

    @home.....I like to be there when I can....
    Nothing wrong with the simple side of life..... Winding paths through tables and glass First fall was new Now watch the summer pass So close to you. Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too young to leave. No pass out sign on the door set me thinking Are waitresses paying the price of their winking? While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking, They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking. Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too late to keep the change, Too late to pay, No time to stay the same Too young to leave. Find out that now was the answer To answers that you gave later She did the things that we both did before, now, But who forgave her. If I could stand to see her crying I would tell her not to care. When she learns of all your lyin' Will she join you there? Country girl I think you're pretty, Got to make you understand, Have no lovers in the city, Let me be your country man. Got to make you understand.

    @ in the heart of the country
    You can take the girl out of the country, but you cant take the country out of the girl. I will gain a commute but I dont care... Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away. And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads. Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads

Heart of the country where the holy people grow, Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow, Wo, wo, wo. Want a horse, i want a sheep, I wanna get me a good night's sleep, Livin' in a home in the heart of the country. I'm gonna move, i'm gonna go, I'm gonna tell ev'ryone i know, Livin' in a home in the heart of the country. Heart of the country where the holy people grow, Heart of the country, smell the grass in the meadow, Wo, wo, wo. Want a horse, i got a sheep, I'm gonna get me a good night's sleep, Livin' in a home in the heart of the country.

    @ FSBO
    The housing market in STL is good right now, but we don't have an MLS listing. We have shown the condo twice since being put up a week ago. We've had a good number of calls as well. Never done this before so it's all new territory. Trying to move outside the city so we can have some peace and quiet and a nice yard. So you think you're a Romeo playing a part in a picture-show Take the long way home Take the long way home Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood Why should you care if you're feeling good Take the long way home Take the long way home But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery all the greenery is comin' down, boy And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice. When lonely days turn to lonely nights you take a trip to the city lights And take the long way home Take the long way home You never see what you want to see Forever playing to the gallery You take the long way home Take the long way home And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable, unforgettable, how they adore you, But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity, oh, calamity, is there no way out? Does it feel that you life's become a catastrophe? Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. When you look through the years and see what you could have been oh, what might have been, if you'd had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who's to blame if you're not around? You took the long way home You took the long way home...........

    Good luck, hope the housing market is better in St Louis than Scranton Pa...can't give them away there.... high time for a walk on the real side Let's admit the bastards beat us I move to dissolve the corporation In a pool of margaritas So let's switch off all the lights And light up all the Luckies Crankin' up the afterglow 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go Talk about your major pain and suffering Now our self-esteem is shattered Show the world our mighty hidey-ho face As we go sliding down the ladder It was sweet up at the top 'Til that ill wind started blowing Now it's cozy down below 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go We gave it our best shot But keep in mind we got a lot The sky the moon good food and the weather First-run movies - does anybody get lucky twice? Wouldn't it be nice... Tell me can you dig it Miss Fugazy Now it's gone from late to later Frankly I could use a little face time In the service elevator And if Dave from Acquisitions Wants to get in on the action With his Handicam in tow Well we're goin' out of business Everything must go Can it be the sorry sun is rising Guess it's time for us to book it Talk about the famous road not taken In the end we never took it And if somewhere on the way We got a few good licks in No one's ever gonna know 'Cause we're goin' out of business Everything must go

    Great relaxing weekend....back in the saddle.... Coffee is on... Children play in the park, they don't know I'm alone in the dark, even though Time and time again I see your face smiling inside I'm so happy That you love me Life is lovely When you're near me Tell me you will stay Make me smile Living life is just a game so they say All the games we used to play fade away We may now enjoy the dreams we shared so long ago Oh my darling, got to have you. Feel the magic when I hold you Cry sweet tears of joy, touch the sky Now I need you more than ever. No more crying - we're together Tell me you will stay. Make me smile

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
