    @ba dus especially da briver....carry on....Holly....
    If I get stoned all night long it's just a family tradition.... Hit me Sarge.... Now we take our time, so nonchalant And spend our nights so bon vivant We dress our days in silken robes The money comes The money goes We know it's all a passing phase We light our lamps for atmosphere And hang our hopes on chandeliers We're going wrong, we're gaining weight We're sleeping long and far too late And so it's time to change our ways But I've loved these days Now as we indulge in things refined We hide our hearts from harder times A string of pearls, a foreign car Oh we can only go so far On caviar and cabernet We drown our doubts in dry champagne And soothe our souls with fine cocaine I don't know why I even care We'll get so high and get nowhere We'll have to change our jaded ways But I've loved these days So before we end and then begin We'll drink a toast to how it's been A few more hours to be complete A few more nights on satin sheets A few more times that I can say I've loved these days

Picture book, of people with each other, to prove they love each other a long time ago. Na, na, na, na, na na. Na, na, na, na, na na. Picture book. Picture book. A picture of you in your birthday suit, You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon. Picture book, your mama and your papa, and fat old Uncle Charlie out boozing with their friends. Picture book, a holiday in August, outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend. Picture book, when you were just a baby, those days when you were happy, a long time ago. Na, na, na, na, na na.

    Ye old roadrunner never had a chance...beep beep indeed. With Liketohike transitioning to Liketobrive and the sing-along we all had over the past weekend, coupled with the thousands of photos the daydreamers took, and hundreds of wonderful memories, and dozens of new pizzas, packages or Oreos, watermelons and licorice bags, all we need to do is sing the following in 4 part harmony:: Oh! We ain`t got a barrel of money Maybe we`re ragged and funny But we`ll travel along Singing a song Side by side I don`t know what`s a-comin` tomorrow Maybe it`s trouble and sorrow But we`ll travel the road Sharing our load Side by side through all kinds of weather What if the sky should fall Just as long as we`re together It really doesn`t matter at all When they`ve all had their quarrels and parted We`ll be the same as we started Just traveling along Singing a song Side by side That's in the People's key of G by the way. And pass rjrrrjrrr a seegar, pat him on the back, and shake his hand. g

    yeah I'm retired, but you just made me smile..... Let's here some Ringo..... Ev'ry time i see your face, It reminds me of the places we used to go. But all i got is a photograph And i realise you're not coming back anymore. I thought i'd make it the day you went away, But i can't make it Till you come home again to stay-yi-yay-yi-yay. I can't get used to living here, While my heart is broke, my tears i cried for you. I want you here to have and hold, As the years go by and we grow old and grey. Now you're expecting me to live without you, But that's not something that i'm looking forward to. I can't get used to living here, While my heart is broke, my tears i cried for you. I want you here to have and hold, As the years go by and we grow old and grey. Ev'ry time i see your face, It reminds me of the places we used to go. But all i got is a photograph And i realise you're not coming back anymore. Ev'ry time i see your face, It reminds me of the places we used to go. But all i got is a photograph And i realise you're not coming back anymore. Ev'ry time i see your face, It reminds me of the places we used to go. But all i got is a photograph And i realise you're not. Beautiful photos of memories we will never forget..... Thanks Holly n Matt ....... Almost deleted the email til I figured it out.....

    138 new posts - are going to have to wait.... I have to hop off in Sebastopol for an overnight Goddess Wedding Ceremony (bridal shower hosted by bohemian aunties) for my local girlfriend. I suppose if anyone were to call me a hippy, today would be the day (medicine wheel, squat anywhere, sleeping under stars... ). I'll hop back on tomorrow, when there's 174 posts to read through. See you all in San Rafael and please tell me - What is a hippy? ("Hippies create police, police create hippies") xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoStellaLovesYouToTheStarsAndBackMoonxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Totes has a point... My life has been lived in the moment for a while now....about 2 years... This merry band of strangers have been brought together by a cultural phenomenon and will convene for but a second in our virtual lives... I am happy to support and contribute ideas for a website...if asked Unfortunately I am unlikely to use it as well... But....I do understand that some people need living testaments and memorials and others like me are fine with the faded memories....they are almost always better than the real thing. Irrespective of personal preferences ...our collective thanks go to geohelpingtobuildamemorialforSunshinedaydreamersastheyseefitmeister After all we all have our own paths to follow... someone set me straight on that just about a month ago.... And I'm so lost down mine there ain't no going back! thanks George...hope you're feeling the love... :-)

Well said rrrrrgrrrrr. As much as these memories will live on and be a part me, it's all forward motion. The scrapbook idea is very nice though. I guess the SSDDer mission statement needs to be revised now. Contact the Poobah, we need chase this wabbit down the hole and create an IT department! The pill mother gave me didn't do anything at all. Tap, tap. Dammit, is this thing on? Where's Alice, I think she'll know. Hey Alice!

Amen to that, and amen to Totem, I don't know nothin about no website. Whose dumb/clever idea was that? Actually, the URLs were procured so no scum bag would grab them and try to scalp bootleg tshirts or something. What about that back 40 acre spread down by the river we were planning on getting for an annual pic-a-nic? Who's in charge of that? And what about the go-fund me kickstarter campaign to fund indigent sunshiners? And the Daydreamers? The house band? we gotta have a place to practice, if we existed, which we don't, but I play a mean air-guitar, and keep knocking into my monitor here. What about the pies? We need more pies. And Ice Cream. And cobbler...a big old dutch oven full of peach cobbler, plenty of cinnamon and maybe a sassafras stick or three. Anyone got 40 acres we can have? maybe with a river, you know, one that we can listen to as it sings sweet songs to rock our souls...and our canoes...gotta have canoes... Gonna be a nice pic-a-nic... Have a great day everyone... geomusemeister

All of matter is just very very very very very very condensed energy - no one has ever been here ever, but still there are albums and memories, faded and clear, and every once in an while a service is born from an idea and sometimes it helps... nothing born out of nothing and that's become everything. We are all in the story. Some will be on the site or in the non-profit, and it's all just right.

I note that 1) you have been on-board this forum bus since the last decade, and 2) you scored a single sweet Saturday suite ducat in a clever way, and 3) you know the magic handshake and posted on our friendly pic-a-nic board, and 4) it looks like you may already a sunshine daydreamer of the finest caliber and be in Chicago for that celebratory weekend, and last, but not least, 5) you probably do know how the songs go. Noting also that rgrgrrrgr hit the brakes long enough for you to hop on board and you got a nod from him... We welcome you to our friendly group of travelers...it appears all you have to do is PM one of us and you may find yourself taking it to the next level as it were, for we need to get you specific information...like tshirt, meet-ups, etc...for that we need your all important email address. Grab a seat, buckle up, say hi, but watch out, if you raise your hand, rgrgrgrrr may ask you to brive da dus... Good to know you! geonotthepoobahmeister

Went to Oriole Park tonight to see my birds play, and what had been a peaceful demonstration against our local death by cop episode, escalated into a bottle/stone throwing riot right outside the stadium. My first thought was "i hope nothing like this happens in Chicago" Ive GOT to get my head more into the now. I love my city. I believe we we can find justice without tearing it down.. probably just naive. mmmbop bop bop madswan needs more Ghandi.
